CyclonatorZ Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 (edited) Here is another new theme for 2013, which seems to be TLC's official realization of the Space Marine project on Cuusoo.http://www.flickr.co...ton/8201537201/http://www.flickr.co...ton/8202630924/(Note: before anyone asks, these images are 100 percent legitimate. They were taken at a TRU store in Winnipeg, Canada, which means they are available for anyone to buy) Edited November 27, 2012 by ~~Zarkan~~ Quote I have slept for so long. My dreams have been dark ones. But now I am awakened. Now the scattered elements of my being are rejoined. Now I am whole. And the Darkness can not stand before me.

Chro Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Looks awesome. Glad to see some official pictures for this, finally. Unfortunately the CUUSOO Space Marine project is now quite unlikely to be approved... Quote save not only their lives but their spirits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mare Tranquillitatis Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Well, looks like a great line. I must agree with Chro, above me: Space Marine Project on CUUSOO is now, kind of, fired. :PJust a thing: am I the only one who sees a resemblance between that robot-thing's helmet with one of the helmets of LEGO Universe ( and I don't think I'm wrong if I say Space Marauder's )?

BULiK Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 I'm going crazy over that new helmet for the good guys, along with the blue marine (who looks like a cyborg). Not to mention all that other cool stuff.

Paleo Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 (edited) I'm so hyped for this. However, I think the Space Swarmer is the only one that truly has amazing design. The entire design is compact yet incredibly detailed for a set of it's size. Plus, that dark red is beautiful.Also, you can report your topic and state that you'd like the title changed.

Bambi Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Whoa.. Those are pretty cool. I wasn't particularly interested in this theme, but those sets are starting to change my mind. Quote [my blog] [custom emotes] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan McStudz Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Nice pieces... Glad to see a more Space-y Space theme (unlike Alien Conquest, which was more earthbound). Reminds me a bit of Insectoids.I'll definitely be asking for some of these VERY soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paleo Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 So it appears that each set has it's own "unit", each with it's own robot helper. However, I find it odd that none of these larger sets really hold any interest for me. The only set I would consider purchasing is the Space Swarmer.

Lyichir Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 My favorite so far from what we've seen is the set next to the green marine in the instructions, with the tank and mech. But all of them look decent. Quote Formerly Lyichir: Rachira of Influence Aanchir's and Meiko's brother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ta-metru_defender Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Dude these are cool. Really channeling some old school space in there (like how the ships can combine and un-combine). If I have the spare cash for these I might pick one up.

Er... it looks to be the Alien Conquest replacement, actually, in terms of general theme. The only correlation with Monster Fighters that I see was the comic in the Lego Club Magazine, in which Lord Vampyre's evil plan (which is still laughable) culminated with the summoning of the bug aliens. I see that less as a story tie-in and more as a forced means of getting a preview out. Quote save not only their lives but their spirits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This theme has so much potential.And besides, I want to see more squads, like perhaps a purple one. It's like attracting insects to a bright light, is it not?C'mon. I can't be the only one who made this connection. Oh no, you're not the only one. I just thought the overall plan from the Monster Fighters story was kinda silly. They always are, though, so whatever.Actually, come to think of it, this one was actually more terrible than most- permanent night means no sunlight, causing everything to die.Wow.

And besides, that was really just a frame story to provide an excuse for a theme about steampunkish heroes fighting classic movie monsters. Which, for an adult fan, should be plenty enjoyable even if you ignore the story entirely.

Stan McStudz Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 I still want Legit steampunk LEGO, though. And overlooking Monster Fighters' story (I still think they should have called it "Monster Hunters"), the sets were actually pretty good.

Dwanny Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 I like the all-round look of the sets, the alien reminds me of the Space Police sets. However, the human's helmet looks like a monkey, and i subtract kudos points for that....Unless by then apes have taken over the earth, in wich case it will make for some interesting comic dialogue.

The humans have the same helmets as the second year of Space Police, but in awesome colors. The robots and bugs have special head molds.

Chro Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Speaking of awesome colors and robots, I wonder if (as I said earlier) there'll be new squads in the second wave (assuming it happens, and I hope so). Purple, maybe azure? I'd suggest a yellow squad but that'd look a bit strange. Quote save not only their lives but their spirits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
