    Anyone else feel Breakout Wave 2 is a lot better than previous sets? Granted, villains still need to be more villainous, but the Hero builds are a lot better. Seems to be going the BIONICLE route with the gradually getting bigger sets. I do wonder how they're going to make this ball and socket building system endure throughout the years, and what new system they will come up with next.Bulk IMO was the best Breakout W2 hero, maybe for even all of BO, at least for build. I do like his shoulder pad things but they could have done something better. The rocket was wayyy too bad, and a big detriment to the figure.I also think that they definitely were improving on flaws like open backs and lack of cladding add ons. They fixed that with the gunmetal pieces that came with Bulk and Stringer's speaker pieces on his shoulders.I don't like how the new chest is so thin though. 2.0 chests made the hero's not so thin and flat.
    Yah. Breakout Wave 2 sets are way better than the Wave 1 sets. It seems like the creators are getting better on how to improve their products. That's a good thing if you want the products to sell well.
    I wouldn't call BO2 "better" than BO1, but some of the common design traits are better. I still think Rocka is the best hero in either BO; the addition of one of the jungle planet claws on the back of Core Hunter instead of a foot peice really makes him seem well built and not see through like some villans, and I hope they keep up with trends like this.Hopefully there will be a 4th year, I do really want to see what they come up with next, since 3.0 had such great improvements on the 2.0. (I just hope they don't get stuck in 3.0 like they did with Inika style bodies)

    The doom box (according to the plot summary for a young reader's book) is a device that can grow, trap stuff inside it, then shrink rapidly and crush its occupants. It can potentially grow the size of the universe. No idea why the villains would want that to happen, though...

    ...Gonna be honest, that sounds a little dark for Hero Factory. Sounds like the kind of thing I'd expect the Master to use in Doctor Who. :P
    They sometimes seem to make villian plans very dark, so it removes the moral abiguity of them being maybe/maybenot evil. Destroying the entire universe= unquestionably evil. Makes it easy to make stock enemies I guess?

    Yeah, I agree. With vitamins I can EV train a Pokemon in around 20 minutes. Also . . . yeah, RNGing sounds painful. I'd rather spend the day breeding for a near perfect Poke, so I have lots of trade fodder afterward. ~B~

    Breeding for a near perfect is far too inefficient though, chances of getting a 31/31/31/31/31/31 is somewhere in the millions. RNGing is just a way to improve those odds a lot. Though some who are better at it then myself can get a perfect in not time. It really depends on experience. Also, catching perfects is considerably easier, especially stationary legendaries. RNG breeding is the worst due to frames. NPCs moving is the main problem. The method while hard to pick up does work and is fun to get a perfect. So far I managed to get myself a perfect Hydreigon, ditto, scizor, and Gliscor (with poison heal).Can also be used to get shinys too if that's ones deal, though there still isn't a good way to get them in Gen 5. No ones figured out how to guess ones secret ID without some cheating device.

    EV training doesn't seem like that big a deal anymore to me since I started RNGing my pokes. Can take days to generate one with perfect IVs x-x (only if your bad at hitting seeds like I am) Also, power items and pokerus can make EV training only take an hour or two. Not really a bad deal then.
