Aedai Rivin Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Okay, I'm not going to lie- The new Hero Factory building system cannot be truly enjoyed until you've bought a larger set. Preferably Scorpio. He is the best Titan set, as: 1. Costs $5 less than the other two Titans2. Contains practically no pins or needles.3. Comprised almost entirely of bone and shell pieces.4. LIME5.This Piece. (actually don't have a picture of said piece, but it's the one that is almost a Vahki thigh piece but has a ball in the middle. Part ID = 4614227) Now, although red is the most useful color, the fact that this set comes with SIX of these makes the set great. So what Hero Factory set did you find to be AWESOME?

Bfahome Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Waspix. Unlike many LEGO sets, he has parts in large quantities. Often individual special parts will be limited to around one or two, maybe three on a larger set (well, they used to anyway). Waspix has at least five of each limb piece included, a bunch of shells, and four of the beautiful Ben 10 hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LewiMOC Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 I have to Agree on Scorpio. I love the new system, and I love having a massive variety of it's parts, hence my love for this set. I also loved how it double up some of the parts from Drilldozer! (I hate having odd numbers of parts) Quote Mooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meiko Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Well, I think that the Furno Bike was extremely well designed, but Fangz, Waspix, and Raw-Jaw were all pretty cool―especially in play value and build style. I'm stuck between those.

GeluNumber1 Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Waspix, Scorpio, Witch Doctor, and Dropship. Great pieces in all of them, IMHO. Quote Why are orange and black such a good color Combination ? Purple is pretty, and so is blue. Pink hurts your eyes, green is quite mellowing, black is very threatning, red is cool, orange is SO awesome, yellow's hard to read... But you can't see white at all! Oh, wait. I forgot brown. Here's my thoughts: If a person tells the truth and says, " I always lie," Is he lying? Or is he telling the truth? And what has a mouth, but no head, and a body, but no torso? Do caterpillars like to tend to supporting colum of stone's every need? Or is that name misleading by nature? Speaking of nature, why are the children of animals called offspring? don't many young beasts come alive in spring, and thus, should be called onspring? Heeeeeeyy.....

Toa Genris Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 I really like'd the 2.0's in general, with Evo being the least favorite(I just can't quite cope with the purple for some reason). Also I LOVED the Stormer sets throughout the course of HF, and I have the 1.0 and 3.0 versions (sadly when I went to buy the 2.0 version he wasn't there ). Despite my original thoughts, Rocka slowly became pretty cool in my opinion for some reason; I guess I really liked the gold, but I I ever get him in 3.0, I'd customize him to be better.

The 1st Shadow Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 The Furno Bike and Nex (2.0 and 3.0) are the best in my book.Why? Orange.And Mr. Julius Nex has always caught my attention over the others due to his aesthetics, which outdo the others by far in comparison.

DeLaSouth Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Scorpio. 1. That lime head is one of the most useful & goodlooking pieces to me.2. Those Size-3 Panels in lime are very useful.3.

Studs Not On Top Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Nitroblast is an awesome set. I love every part of his design-- he looks like a mastermind with a huge cannon. He's definitely my favorite villain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalhiki Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Stringer 3.0, Rocka XL, and Doc.Stringer is just awesome with that bear claw of his and the colors. I enjoy the Fire Lord build, and I feel RXL fixes some flaws (aside from the shoulders which I had to modify). And Doc is just awesome. Kalhiki Quote You're Doomed, Rayman!Boy!

Omicron Squad Leader Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 (edited) I would say Toxic Reapa, but he hasn't been released yet so there may be some flaws I haven't noticed, thus I'll go with Scorpio; great colour scheme, great design and some fabulous parts.

Peach 00 Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Even though I don't have any HF sets, I must admit Breez 2.0 looks kinda cool. Also, Evo 2.0 looks cool also. Quote On the day the wall came down / They threw the locks onto the ground And with glasses high / We raised a cry / For freedom had arrived On the day the wall came down / The ship of fools had finally run aground Promises lit up the night / Like paper doves in flight I dreamed you had left my side / No warmth, not even pride remained And even though you needed me / It was clear that I could not do a thing for you Now life devalues day by day / As friends and neighbors turn away And there's a change that even with regret / Cannot be undone Now frontiers shift like desert sands / While nations wash their bloodied hands Of loyalty, of history / In shades of grey I woke to the sound of drums / The music played, the morning sun streamed in I turned and I looked at you / And all but the bitter residues slipped away slipped away...

Studs Not On Top Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Raw-Jaw is a lot of fun. He's a neat build and has tons of movement and personality, making him a great set to play with.

Tech Warrior Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Hmm... From what I have, Rotor is definitely the coolest looking set. As far as play value goes, I need to go with Drilldozer or the heroes. Witch Doctor was good, but had an odd leg build... I don't have Scorpio yet, as the price is shooting up on him, but he's definitely one that I'd want. My favorite hero would have to be Nex. I really love the orange color scheme. It seems that the 3.0 colors are a bit brighter than that of the 2.0s. I can't get over the bright orange on Nex 3.0.@Bambi - I would definitely get Witch Doctor if you're a MOCer, as it has so many useful parts. But otherwise, Scorpio is probably pretty good; I don't have him myself, but I'm definitely getting that next. I also need to say Rotor, because he's just that awesome. Fire Lord is good, but has some problems with arm articulation. Von Nebula is kind of short, but overall a nice character. I personally don't suggest Rocka XL, because, as far as play value goes, he has a few flaws; claw pieces fall off way too easily, articulation in arms is meh, pieces on feet fall off pretty easily.

Mesonak Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 If you're talking about the set I found awesome in general, Witch Doctor all the way. His design, parts, general aesthetic, is leaps and bounds over the other sets of the line, minus a few qualms with how his technic is implemented. My personal favorite "normal-sized" titan would have to be Rotor from the original wave. Outstanding color scheme, design, parts selection, everything was good in that set.My favorite set from the line thus far that isn't a titan? Rocka or Thornraxx, both from the upcoming Breakout line.-Mesonak Quote The Three Virtues YouTube Channel ----- ----- Check it out for laughs, discussion, and more.

Tenebrae Invictus Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 I'm gonna throw Rocka XL out there. I've heard lots of negative things about him, but when I got him, I thought he was an cool set. He's actually got a decent build, but the only problem the usual decals falling off and whatnot.

Protodite Karzahni Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Okay, the one that I had the least expectations for and ended up surprising me with its awesome was Furno 3.0. At the time I bought it, everyone was incredibly cynical about it and labelled it the worst of the jungle six. But upon building, I was amazed with how cool that helmet was and how the whole overall design worked. At first, I thought I wouldn't like the lack of thigh armour, but in the end it just made it look so much better. And the wing attachment things really gave the set a more bird-like appearance and made the whole thing just look 15% cooler. (No, I'm not going to say it)Although, the overall most awesome set is Witch Doctor. The purely incredible and innovative leg design is so original that I can't help but love it, as well as the brand new shoulder design. Sure, he doesn't shrug, but he swings his arms in ways it's impossible for any other set to do so, and for that reason I adore him. That's probably the reason I dislike Black Phantom more than I should, because he ignores such creativity in exchange for the typical, boring Fire Lord build. Quote I wrote stories once. They were okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Joe Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 (edited) I have really liked the Furno sets. Yes, all of them. I was a wee bit disappointed in the 2.0 version, but it kinda grew on me. Furno 1.0 just had the look about him, and I loved the weapon and using it as a dual-bladed-firesword as well as a gun. I have yet to procure the Furno Bike or 3.0 (not to mention 4.0...Series 4? Breakout Furno? What are we calling this new wave?) but I really loved the designs from all the pictures.

TheSnackist Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Wow, so many varied recommendations... I started to total them up but it was coming to a lot of 4s, 5s, and 6s. Looks like Waspix, Toxic Reapa, Witch Doctor, and Scorpio (oh, and Rotor) are the leading villain sets. Not gonna bother with the Heros, we all know Recon is the favorite there! Just kidding. Sorta.I will say, I haven't bought a Hero Factory set yet [Haven't bought a system set since... geez. Before hand pieces? How long ago was that? (getting a little old for this stuff)], but Recon and the new Rocka are rock'n my short list. Now if Recon would add that sweet looking hex energy shield piece to Recon... Anyway.

Biohistorian Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 I have to add Fire Lord. He started the whole "Titan" theme. He has flimsy arms yes, but that is good to try to get out of those cuffs, and since he lost a hand, he just slips it out.Plus, LAVA ARMOR!

Trijhak Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 I really like Thornraxx. A really awesome set IMO, especially because he doesn't use the typical torso. And two of those useful pieces. I also found Meltdown awesome. Probably the best 'canister' sized villain of 2010. Quote On Bota Magna, everything is about to fall apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
