Takanuva The 7th Toa

Also realize that we are seeing the Heroes at full size, in full detail, much of which was probabaly left out on the minifigures due to their small scale. Besides, the films are known for adding in extra detail on the characters which the sets lack, this is nothing new.

 

Also, I noticed you guys have every set but the big two heads monster reviewed. Is that on the way or was that one set not available for reviewing?

Give us time, we can't post all of these at once!

 

Oh no rush guys! I was just curisous.

 

Between BPZ and Eurobricks, you guys are the only two sites with pictoral reviews. Now, both sites have done a great job reviewing the new sets, but unlike Euro's reviews, you guys take pics of all the parts spread out so that we have a sense of everything that's included in a set. I've always appreciated that little feature and have used those parts layout pictures in the past for quick referencing when considering a set purchase.

 

Are the armor snap pieces on the mech all the same size? If so, can we get a pic where the silver printed arm piece is on the torso and the red torso piece is on the arm. Just so it;s more symmetrical. Thanks.

The Bright Red and Silver Metallic shells are all the same size (5M). The Titanium Metallic ones on the upper body and lower legs are just 4M. The swap you suggest should be entirely possible. Personally I think it looks best as-is (otherwise, the torso would barely have any red on it), but perhaps a picture of it rearranged to what you suggest would be enough to change my mind.

Since there is a hero factory "H" on the printed piece, it would place that on the mechs torso, kinda like the heros themselves. I thought it might look better that way.

Up next in our look at the 2014 Hero Factory sets we have 44018 Furno Jet Machine, kindly provided by LEGO. I guess at this point he's not a rookie anymore, and he's got his own huge mech now to help defend against the invasion from below. But should you add him to your collection?

List updated.

Leaked information removed. -B6

If someone here knows the person whose Brickshelf that is, could they please ask them what's up with those parts? This has certainly grasped my curiosity. Thanks.

The color of these parts, custom painted? custom cast? Photoshop? Or are they real?Here: http://www.brickshel.../Takanuva/2.jpg^see how they are a really light gold color.Here's the parts in the only gold color I know them in: http://www.brickshel.../Takanuva/1.jpgDid the 2003 Takanuva mask ever come in a light gold color? And if they did, what set did they come in?

Currently have sealed sets in very nice condition for sale or trade. I'll have to look though everything I've got, but off the top of my head some sets are:*All my items are Factory Sealed and in new condition with minimal to no shelf wear unless otherwise noted.Hero Factory Rotor

I'm wondering if I should open my set tonight and see what I got. Hmm...maybe after I finally get the rest of the sets in the mail. Just waiting for Waspix, Nitroblast, and Jetbug to arrive.

I got both colors, but I used the white ones. I initially thought they were there for the consumer to choose based on his/her preference, but seeing as not all sets contained both colors, now I'm starting to question that assumption.

You got the best of the bunch. My outer box has the white tubes pictured so I'll most likely get those. I either want white tubes or both in my box. I don't want just red because that's technically wrong and not what LEGO's set designers finally envisioned for him.

^ Yeah, the instructions show white tubes no matter what box or tube color variant you own. The instructions did not go through any change.

I would like to get a number count going on here to see what everyone has. The changing front box picture and the inclusion of the white tubes and the eventual removal of the red tubes was a running change done by LEGO.What color tubes did your Witch Doctor Come with? 2 Red? 2 White? Or 2 of both colors?Also, does your outer box show him with red tubes on his torso or white tubes on his torso?This running-change is also discussed in the comments section of Legojang's Witch Doctor video review. He received both colors in his set and his box front shows the torso with red tubes.

I saw this on LEGO Cuusoo: http://lego.cuusoo.com/ideas/view/8220Tired of Furno .0 this, and Stormer .0 that? Want to see some new and familiar faces? Want to see Hero Factory characters finally get a set? So what do you say folks? Do you want to see the missing Heroes get made as canister sets? Thresher, Rocka 2.0, Bulk 2.0, Stringer 2.0, and the legendary leader of the Hero Recon Team, Merrick Fortis (2.0). Sure, Rocka, Bulk, and Stringer have had sets before, but what about Fortis and Thresher? What about Von Ness? Should we support the above idea submission, or should we make our own Cuusoo idea submission that adds in Von Ness to make this a grouping of 6 sets? Would you buy any of these 6 heroes if they were made as $8 canister or $13 box sized sets? Would you want a Merrick Fortis 3.0 set as well?10,000 supporters will get these guys pushed into the review stage. If it passes that stage, then it will go into the product stage.If it can work for Minecraft, it could work for LEGO's own Hero Factory.

Hey guys,Which LEGO Club Magazines included a Hero Factory Comic Book?http://www.comicvine...ctory/49-34759/I'm trying to figure out if my any of my Club Magazines were missing an issue.

^No.Anyone know where I can get some of the discontinued 2-tone Hero Recon chest pieces?

How does his red colored plastic compare/match to the red colored plastic parts from all of his previous sets? Can we get comparison pics? Only going to buy him if the colors match so I can mix parts from all of his sets and make MOCs of him. Thanks.

Furno, Breeze, Thornraxx, Splitface, and Black Phantom must be in the second shipment/wave because all my ToysRus stores only had Rocka, Surge, Evo, Jawblade, and Toxic Reapa.5 first, 5 later. Eh, makes sense.

Alright, which one of you guys got in the new sets?http://s3.amazonaws.com/data.tumblr.com/tumblr_lvysyvxbyh1r2lfbco1_1280.jpg?AWSAccessKeyId=AKIAJ6IHWSU3BX3X7X3Q&Expires=1323587877&Signature=d3ZtPH1CydYgR%2FBUAXAO1rcFWGM%3DJust answer me this: Does Furno have 2 hands this time?

Hey guys,I heard there was a program that can take a creation made in Lego Digital Designer for Design By Me and from that, generate a parts inventory for Pick A Brick as a way to bypass DBM and save money.

I have a sealed/MISB 2001 Onua, anyone want to trade me a sealed 2001 Tahu for it?I already have a 2001 Onua and Kopaka, I want a Tahu, and I have no desire for a 2001 Lewa, Gali, or Pohatu.I also will be selling some Lego Bionicle, Technic Spybotics, and System sets eventually. All are MISB.

What Castle has the most pieces & which castle set do you think is the best? Which castle set can you do the most with/make the most with, parts-wise?I've never bought a LEGO Castle, but have always wanted to. However, most of them seem the same to me and their building options/possibilities seem a bit restricted from what parts they use.Looking for something with actual rooms and not just walls. Something that feels like an actual building of sorts. King's hall, armory, blacksmith, dungeon, pot of boiling stuff to throw over the walls, a roundtable, trap doors, secret passages, towers that house fair princesses. Y'know, all that castle stuff.

This question has been bothering me for YEARS, and I never got around to asking it here.So here goes:On Peeron's part page for the Kanohi Avohkii and Takanuva's gold armor parts, it lists them as being cast in "Pearl Dark Gold" in the #8596-1 Takanuva set, and then it lists them again as being cast in "Pearl Light Gold" in the #10201-1 Takutanuva ToysRus Exclusive combo set (Takanuva and Makuta with the special movie Takutanuva mask piece).So my question is: "Does the ToysRus combo set really have Takanuva mask and armor parts cast in a lighter gold colored plastic?"I ask this because I have read reviews w/pics of the Takutanuva set online and the color of Takanuva's gold parts look exactly the same as the ones that come in his regular set. The reviewers don't even mention and difference or special part colors.So is Peeron wrong in their listing of the "pearl light gold" parts color for the #10201-1 Takutanuva ToysRus Exclusive combo set? -or- does that set really come with differently colored gold parts than the regular mass-market release that has the "pearl dark gold" parts?Your help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi guys,Anyone have pictures/screenshots of the 2 lego digital design starter models of Merrick Fortis(2.0 & 3.0) from Hero Recon team? I read that his 2.0 and 3.0 forms are starter models in LDD. I want to build him with Lego digital design or pick a brick and would like to make accurate representations of his 2.0 and 3.0 forms.Thanks.

Better than that. Here are the LXF files:2.03.0It should be noted that the 2.0 model in particular is inconsistent with many depictions of him. Most pics of him will use the exclusive co-injected black and silver metallic chest piece from Hero Recon Team, as well as some differently-colored shell pieces.

THANK YOU for those files, but I still have to download LDD (or use the disc that came with one of my LEGO Factory sets).I was also wondering if there is a collection of Merrick Fortis images from other media (websites, videos, comics, etc.) as I would like to see the differences in his various depictions and try to nail down his 2.0 and 3.0 builds as closely and as accurately as possible.My goal is to build his 2.0 and 3.0 forms in LDD as one usable, buyable guide/LDD file that would also include any parts variants or part color variants (one depiction may give him a gold claw, another a silver) as swappable limbs/parts.My intentions are to create a guide to building your very own cannon-accurate Merrick Fortis through LDD or pick-a-brick, and with various instructions/methods to build him to match whichever depiction/representation you may prefer of him throughout the various Hero Factory medias.This way people can build their Fortis as they see fit, and not go nuts trying to get his look down 100% right (since he's built a bit different in almost every picture of himself).Thanks.

Thanks for the info,So the 1.0 Hero Canister sets like Furno and Stormer could come with the new 2011 black ball-cup piece for their ankles or weapon arm (http://us.service.lego.com/en-US/replacementparts/showBrick.aspx?item=4610948&lod=5&size=2) ?I also heard that ANY 2010 silver parts could be the "new" silver (silver in Breez's weapons, silver in Surge's weapons, silver arms of Surge, all of Bulk, etc.) Has anyone found the new silver being used on these sets, or say, Furno 1.0's weapons? Does anyone have any side-by-side comparison pictures of the two different silver color parts?I would just like to know this in case I order extra 1.0 weapons (like extra Furno blades), as to be aware of the parts color variants and be able to tell them apart (old Bionicle silver vs new 2011 Hero Factory silver).Thanks.
