FrozenFlash Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Alright! Thanks for the review! Core Hunter looks awesome and I'm defiantly getting him when he comes out here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Takanuinuva Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Sweet to see this review. I'm making him one of the first sets I get when the wave comes out in my stores in Canada. I'm also planning on revamping his design to make him look more epic. Quote I am Takanui Nuva. The Toa Nuva of Light I also go by Baron Von Brickenstein AFOL, Gamer and overall nice person.

Mare Tranquillitatis Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 He looks awesome. That Core belt is a sweet addiction, definitely. I'd gladly buy him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KZN02 Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 So what if his Core Remover doesn't work. It's not like we complained that Hydraxon's Exploding Boomerangs actually exploded. Quote The Master of Tediosness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Swimming Beard Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Thanks for the review. This set looks awesome, though I will probably get Voltix first for the purple pieces.

Too see if this set is as awesome as it looks, read on!View the full articleThis set actually looks great for an HF villain (no offense fans) and I like the parts and backstory (nice and gritty).I don't seem to have a problem with the flaws that Gatanui noticed. I myself am a bit persnickety about the price though. Nice set overall. Maybe I can get it.

Gameboy49 Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 This guy looks crazy! The helmet looks awesome, colour scheme looks great and a lot of useful pieces for MOCing.Probably getting him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver the Hedgehog Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Well if the pinchers remove the chest peice, then can't he just do that, and take the core off? Anyway, great review. I loved this set, and many of the others I have. The core thing might be a good idea. Quote Silver is my favorite Sonic character. Deal with it, Go ahead clicky.

Toa Smoke Monster Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 This set does look pretty cool, thought I won't be getting it.Thanks for the review! Quote Everyone is one choice away from being the bad guy in another person's story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaxix Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 That's the only new HF set that I am going to buy. The colour scheme works (so rare seeing the new wave of HF sets), the helmet is cool and overall it seems complete. IMO the arms are appropriate.Thanks for the review Gatanui!

Akuna Toa of Sonics Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 This just increases my chances of getting Core Hunter. Him and Bulk are the best sets of the summer wave, in my opinion.

WeatherDragon Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Impressive. Black and red are a truly evil color scheme, and they did a brilliant job with that on Core Hunter. His helmet is equally evil-looking, as are his weapons and....just about everything else on him. :lol:And it hardly matters to me if the Core Catcher does not work...I did not really expect it to be able to pull off a chest plate, though. And I really would have prefered less gray on him and more black. Contractable set weapons are usually gray, I would like a change someday.I do think this set is one of the best looking Hero Factory villains. They are getting better. A huge leap from the blank look of Rotor in 2010. Quote "Remember the Heart of NINJAGO."I might eat you if you get too close >:3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminus Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Great review, and I must say, the newest line of HF sets is the best yet, and this is my favorite of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nescent Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 That's one of the coolest things I've ever seen! The helmet is total win! Great review as always, Gatanui. I might pick one up.Looks fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devorath Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 (edited) What does Core Hunter do with the robot shells? Use them as ready-made bodies for the antiquaza cores? Maybe Black Phantom and Voltix weren't the only ones with a special role in the master plot... Edited July 18, 2012 by TuragaNui Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toa_Of_Justice Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Hey Gatanui, I think I have an idea for making Core Hunter's core remover more effective. Unfortunately, I don't have Core Hunter, but I tried it using Jetbug's pincers and it seems to work. I inserted the pincers in between the core and the torso armor, like this:The shape of the pincers caused the core to lift away from the torso armor after I pinched them together. It takes some effort, but the core eventually comes off. I would recommend pinching close to the core rather than far from it, due to the pincers' tendency to flex.-Toa Of Justice Quote LDD American Flag--------------LDD Tinker Bell---------- Please see my Brickshelf gallery for more MOCs!

Meiko Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 How did I miss this review a while back? Well, great review, and it only makes me want Core Hunter even more. He's an awesome set, and he has great parts. He's certainly a set I'll buy if I get the chance.

There probably won't be so many Bionicle news now that it's gone. Besides, there has to be other news from other themes in order for this place to survive and that includes HF. Anywys, I just got Core Hunter today. It's unfortunate that all of those six lenses don't "light up" red.

Gatanui Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 (edited) thnks for replying. I know bionicle ended but do we really have to put hero factory here. It seems kinda disrespectfull to bionicleCome on now, reporting HF news is in NO way disrespectful to BIONICLE. Stop imagining HF as an evil "being" or whatever that viciously killed off BIONICLE to take its place, because that is ridiculous. HF was created in reaction to the cancellation of BIONICLE, it's not that BIONICLE was cancelled because of HF. And anyway, a LEGO theme can't be evil or disrespectful to another, because LEGO themes don't live. Noone forces you to like HF and if you don't, that's perfectly fine. But there simply is no or barely any BIONICLE news that can be reported on. If there is, you can be sure to read it on the front page. Still, we as a site are still committed to reporting LEGO-related news every day, so obviously HF news are going to make it in as well.I don't want to be rude to you but all this "HF is evil and it killed BIONICLE" stuff started getting annoying a long time ago.-Gata Edited August 10, 2012 by Gatanui Quote - Gata Please don't use my avatar or signature without permission, thanks!
