Elrond of Rivendell Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 So you guys saw the videos on the main site. Do you think he'll return, and if so, how? Next year maybe?-Bane Quote Gentlemen, it's time to spread the word.

Sumiki Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 The whole point of the Hero Factory story is to be episodic ... I didn't think it would include recycling villains as they recycle heroes.Is this a shift to a more overarching story, or is this a one-time thing? Or are they trying to find a compromise between the two?As far as a possibility of Von Nebula returning in set form, I think that's pretty slim. I don't want to discount the chances, though.

Aanchir Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 I doubt we'll see Von Nebula as a set again unless he somehow "transforms"-- after all, TLG has learned time and time again that "re-releases" of older sets sell poorly.As for in story, the possibility of his return is curious and breaks from Hero Factory's typical storytelling style that never looks back on loose plot threads from previous years. But at the same time, it doesn't have to make the series too backstory-dependent. It's easy to imagine Von Nebula treated simply as "a villain from Stormer's past" just as in 2010 he was treated as "a rogue hero from Stormer's past". I don't expect any of his actions in the 2010 story to be incredibly relevant to his possible impact on future story.

Meiko Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 It'd be cool to see him return, even though it might be awkward, in that he was sealed most securely in all of the Hero Factory. Chances of him returning in a set are slim to none in my opinion.

Smitty Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 I'd love for them to make a Von Nebula set. I just hope that it's better that that rejected Makuta. Quote At some point you realize that you are but a speck in the Universe. That you time in this worlds is but a blink. You see the whole of reality as it unfolds before you. You try to see how far you can reach, and it’s not that far past your face. But then you come back from the brink. You hold them in your arms again. And you know that you are where their world begins. You are their rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akuna Toa of Sonics Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 I'm kind of indifferent to his return as a set, but he did have an interesting story.

Onewa7 Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 HF's storyline is too simple to bring back old characters as part of a new adventure (more than just a cameo appearance) and thus connect single story arcs to each other like Bionicle. Which means I don't think he'll return. Unless HF's storyline is evolving. Anyway, I guess we don't have a chance to see a new Von Nebula set. Quote Onewa7, Encountering Protodermis!

Gatanui Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 As long as it looks good and as long as there is a notable difference to the set from 2010 (an upgraded, larger body and perhaps another weapon), I am happy with a possible Von Nebula set.~Gata.

Protodite Karzahni Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 I think a Von Nebula set in 2013 is highly likely, given he appears to have been the brains behind the whole breakout saga. I reckon they can reintroduce him, keeping the episodic system they'd set up. The heroes just need to give a quick bit of exposition when he shows up, explaining how he was a big villain who recently broke out out of prison. That's all they really need to set him up as an intimidating villain (More than he was last time. Boosh.) Quote I wrote stories once. They were okay.

Takua Nui of GoAnimate Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 I had foretold the return of Von Nebula in the Breakout on the Lego.com message boards...but few listened. Until another topic was made on the subject. Oh well.Of course he's coming back! German version's been aired. I liked it a lot. Ich bin...lustig? Yes, that's how to say it.

Ballom Nom Nom Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 If he does return, I hope there will be another set released, similarly upgraded into the new style. Then, hopefully it can also come with tons of ball joints in black, like the red ones on Witch Doctor.~B~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Swimming Beard Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 I think it would be cool if he did return, but overall it just doesn't seem likely to recycle a villian in Hero Factory.
