Hapori Tohu Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Some sharp-eyed members have spotted a new LEGO website: Legends of Chima. While the site is currently only a teaser, it does have a few images, one of which shows a humanoid lion fighting a humanoid crocodile, which gives some clue as to the characters we will be seeing. The file names of the 3 images reference weeks, which hints at the possibility that we'll be seeing more soon!View the full article Quote News Forums Q&A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~garnira returns~ Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 interesting. As a side note, I'm routing for the croc. Quote "Copy and paste me into your sig! The shadows command you!" ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)#tumaislove,tumaislife Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obsessionist Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 It look, form what I've seen, like all of the characters will have custom-molded heads. I think that's a little disappointing, it's one step too far away from the minifigs we know and love. Of course, in Ninjago, almost all the villains have custom heads, but at least one side had the standard ones.However, for Chol's sake, I'm hoping there's a wolf tribe or something in that vein. I would be like an official Lego army of his sigfigs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamesster Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 I assume we still can't discuss the set pictures and story info since they aren't "officially" released? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chols Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 I have been way too hyped for this theme.It looks so coooool.However, for Chol's sake, I'm hoping there's a wolf tribe or something in that vein. I would be like an official Lego army of his sigfigs.THERE BETTER BE.

Alyska Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 I never said it wasn't awesome. In fact, if this line does not include ninja poodles, I will be seriously disappointed. Quote 3DS Friend Code: 0018-0767-4231 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devorath Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 (edited) Darn. Was just about to email in. Anyway, the figs have minifig heads and helmets. I tried changing the week in the URL but no image was displayed. Edited October 28, 2012 by Devorath Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrozenFlash Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 (edited) Legends of Chima? Totally not based off of ancient Chinese legends . Anyways, the minifigures already look pretty sweet. It will surely draw a lot of attention thanks to the teaser images. Edited October 28, 2012 by FrozenFlash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No longer active Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 (edited) I guess this series might be for Furries. :PCan't wait until it comes out.

xccj Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 I'm excited for Chima. The Atlantis sea animals and the Ninjago snakes were all pretty cool figs, so it will be nice to see some new animal themes!

Chols Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 I guess this series might be for Furries. :PCan't wait until it comes out.There was actually some discussion for the theme on a furry site recently. Opinions were mixed but there wasn't a lot of interest overall.Some didn't even know LEGO still existed lawl. Quote Latest MOC: Ol' Dusty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Protodite Karzahni Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 (Well, I'll be. A theme supposedly with anthro minifigs. Obviously this isn't made for furries but I can see some people will think it was and there might be some ensuing backlash. This could be amusing to watch.)(I don't really buy any Lego outside of Hero Factory these days but I might give it a look. Especially for anthro crocodiles. I wonder if there'll be any other anthro lizards...?) Quote I wrote stories once. They were okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gatanui Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 This theme sure looks exciting. Also, some file-analyzing has led me to the conclusion that sometimes even movies are going to be uploaded on updates. -Gata Quote - Gata Please don't use my avatar or signature without permission, thanks!

I wonder if there'll be any other anthro lizards...?)I really like the crocs too. I tried making an anthro crocodile minifigure once using the standard animal croc head. Needless to say that did not go well at all. :PAlso yes I'd like to see more reptiles in this theme. Though I see no reason not to add in some of the snakes from Ninjago. :3 Quote Latest MOC: Ol' Dusty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meiko Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Yeah, I still want to see what kind of story and support of a story Chima will have. If it's anything like Ninjago's, then keep your eyes open for a possible Chima Wiki, from the makers of The Ninjago Wiki.

Iver Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 (edited) It looks a bit like Thunder Cats, except with more animals and more Lego.

fishers64 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Spiffy. Let's see...Stormer inside the bottom point of a question mark, some cool looking energy entering a guy from a sword, and crocodiles with flaming chainsaws and lightening bolts. Interesting...Also, is it just me or does that weapon that the croc wields in the last picture look like Kongu's energy crossbow or something? Those weapons, aside from the chainsaw, look like Toa Inika weapons. Quote Hero Factory RPG | Bionicle Mafia XXIX: Storyline & Theories Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paleo Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 some cool looking energy entering a guy from a sword,I'm actually interpreting this as the concept of "Chi" energy. It appears to be referenced in the title, and my brian just made the connection. Quote Flickr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark_Stranger Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Wow. I never thought Fabuland would come back at all, let alone with a mystically-powered death match version.Now that I have dispensed with the obligatory Fabuland joke, this certainly looks promising so far. I might buy some sets just for those amazing weapons... "Songs that the Hyades shall sing, / Where flap the tatters of the King, / Must die unheard in / Dim Carcosa."

~garnira returns~ Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Isn't Chi an oriental concept? If so, its ironic that they bring it up after ninjago. Quote "Copy and paste me into your sig!

Lyichir Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Isn't Chi an oriental concept? If so, its ironic that they bring it up after ninjago.Either it's deliberate (to try to win over fans of Ninjago) or it's coincidental (using a separate oriental concept not explored in Ninjago). There's not really any irony there.Legends of Chima is slowly winning me over, which is kind of annoying considering Ninjago was such a drain on my wallet. Not to mention that next year seems like it might be the year to start collecting Lego City more seriously.

Meiko Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Okay, I have reasoned that Chima will have a story. Just from experience in LEGO, and after Ninjago's success. The fact of there being a two-sided conflict between the lion people things and the gator people things (I can't wait for official names for these guys), and that Kevin Hinkle said that "the next theme [Chima] will be even better [than Ninjago]", I doubt "better" would consist of dropping the aspect of a story.Also, with my discussions with Michael Kramer, he said that directly after he finished Ninjago, he went straight to another project. I don't know (I didn't ask) if this other project was involved with LEGO, which it could easily be, but could just as easily not. If it was a project with LEGO, it'd probably be Chima, and a TV show for that could be very cool.In all, this decision has brought upon BrickCraft.me's Legend of Chima project. We haven't finalized a name, but when 2013 comes, expect another reference site from the makers of The Ninjago Wiki.

Toa Smoke Monster Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Flaming chainsaws? Being used as a weapon by a croc? That has to be someone's worst nightmare. :PAnyway, this theme looks interesting. i'll have to keep my eye on it. Quote Everyone is one choice away from being the bad guy in another person's story.
