The Invisible Handman Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 As of yesterday we now have pictures of all the sets from the upcoming summer wave including the four videos by Play Stippling. * Umarak the Destroyer* Storm Beast* Lava Beast* Ekimu the Mask maker We also have photos of Quake Beast provided by our very own Dimaks * Quake Beast With all this new set information and the summer wave approaching fast, the question I want to ask is ... which set will you get first? How sure are you? Have you changed your mind about any sets? Personally I'm finding myself more excited to buy them now I've had a good look at their build and pieces, might get quake beast first since I do like the trans purple.

Pohaturon Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 My first (and only) summer wave set will definitely be Storm Beast. I really dislike Ekimu's new form as a set due to the overuse of trans (personally, not a fan, though it looks really good in moderation), plus something just feels... off about him that I can't place.Lava beast is pretty cool, I like his colors and the beast-mask the three share looks best in this color-blend. His wings are sweet too.Quake beast I'm iffy about. I generally like asymmetrical designs and builds, however both of his hands have suffered for the risky design (though I commend Lego on going with it anyway) and the solid purple on the beast mask is really ugly. I absolutely love Umarak the Destroyer, and even forgive his neck. If my budget would allow him, he'd be the set I get, but he is as expensive as he is awesome. So I'm going with Storm Beast. I just prefer his design over the other beasts and Ekimu, and his function even elevates him over Umarak. His mask looks great (way better than Quake, almost as good as Lava) and the function is ingenious. I like the build as well, and in terms of new parts (not new molds, but parts I personally don't have yet) he is also the best choice. Both from a practical and a personal point of view, Stormy is the best beast. Too bad there isn't an enemy for Pohatu this year - no corrupted Uniter mask of stone 1 Quote Stone rocks Model Designer at The LEGO Group. Former contributor at New Elementary.

Taria Pakari Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Umarak. I got Umarak the Hunter first, I'm gonna get the Destroyer first too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toa Imrukii Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 (edited) All of them. Buy all of them at once. Then build them in whatever order you wish. For me it will probably be Ekimu, Lava Beast, Storm Beast, Quake Beast, And finally Umarak the Destroyer.

Kid Icarus Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 I'll buy them in the order I find them. Hopefully Ekimu first but if not he'll be the first one I build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenny7092 Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 I would like to get all of them at once, but if something happens, I would get Ekimu and Umarak first because Ekimu has lovely trans-blue pieces, including the Mask of Creation and Umarak looks epic and I like his giant claws.

Junior Shark Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 I would get Umarak first, but since he apparently has a later release date than the rest of the wave, Storm Beast is first. Actually, I'm probably just gonna get whichever one I see in the store first! Quote If you wait until the last minute, then it only takes one minute.

Click Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 I was thinking of getting Storm Beast, and then Storm Beast, and maybe Storm Beast if budget allows.

The 1st Shadow Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 I will buy Quake Beast because purple parts. I might buy Ekimu and Storm Beast because nice parts. That's it. Honestly, this wave sucks big time, and most of them are only good as parts-packs.

Toa Smoke Monster Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 The only two sets I know for sure that I'm getting out of this wave right now is Umarak the Destroyer and Ekimu. I would like to get Umarak first if I can help it. But if it's true that his release date is later than the rest of the sets, then I probably will be getting Ekimu first.

Rooster Nui Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Depends. If they actually come to my location, which earlier rumors said otherwise, than I'll get Ekimu first. Otherwise, if they don't, I'll make no effort to import them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrozenPancake_ Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 I'm shooting to get Umarak or Ekimu first, they're my favorites. I have yet to collect the entire winter wave, however.

Arcee Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 I'm pretty excited for the new Umarak and Flame Beast, but I'd like to get Umarak the Hunter, Gali, and Uxar before even touching the Summer wave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nidhiki of the Shadows Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 I'm guessing Ekimu, but you never know. I thought my first summer set last year would be Mask Maker vs Skull Grinder but it ended up being my last and I got Skull Scorpio first. -NotS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sydorack Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 All of them if the first place I can get them has them. I'm pretty hyped on umarak and stormy. This is a good year for bonkles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randomreviewerbros Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 All of them at once most likely. But the ones I can't wait for are Umarak and Ekimu Quote Go check out our Youtube channel!

Iku Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Right now, the only set that appeals to me is Ekimu, and that's only because of the two exclusive masks (which are both beautiful). His build is fairly generic and uninspired, and while the other medium-priced sets have interesting functions, they aren't that visually nor narratively engaging enough for me to buy them. As for Umarak the Destroyer, I really wanted to like him, but after watching a review, I felt that although his colour scheme, building process and bulk were great, he was ultimately too gappy and again, a bit generic - he's just a big hulk without many other distinguishing features, and his "functions" are frankly a bit simplistic and again, uninspired. The corrupted mask was tempting though, but ultimately I don't think it's worth the rest of the set.

Bonkle Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Not interested in the beasts, really. They remind me a lot of Brain Attack. So, I'll probably get Umarak, and then Ekimu. I'm trying to stay on top of legendary masks for G2. Once I have those two, maaaaybe I'll try one of the beasts. Quote I been away a long time.

Dogbert Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 None, because it's very likely they won't sell them in my country. As for what sets I plan to get from this summer to the end of the year, with a little luck I might be able to complete last years wave.

ArmstrongYong the X-Wing Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 None of them, unfortunately. I want to like the summer sets, but Umarak and the Beasts looks too messy and gappy even for what they're supposed to been. Ekimu also looks boring and generic for me.

Aanchir Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 (edited) Not sure. I might get several of them at once if there's a deal I want to take advantage of at the same time. But Storm Beast is the mid-size set that most interests me due to its innovative function, so if I end up getting them one at a time that's probably the one I'd like to pick up first.

Lyichir Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 As of today it's confirmed: not gonna need to buy any. That's okay, since I still have three sets from the winter wave yet to pick up.

Onvermel Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Honestly I would just get all at once but if had to chose one or two for the sake of it I would say Umarak the Destroyer and Ekimu. These two grab my attention the most as Umarak has a lot to offer as a new build and just look cool. As for Ekimu it's just cause he looks great and I really like the trans coulor on him.
