Manterax Prime Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 (edited) Blue Stringer is cool....no, not cool......AWESOME!!As for Stormer, the only reason he's normal sized in the show is because they can do that w/ some computer magic.Same can't be said for an actual titan-build set which he may be given the appearance of his build in the video.Therefore, LEGO would have to go w/ XL on the box if said set were a Hero.

Gatanui Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 (edited) The sets will probably become available in the US tomorrow which is Monday. No way there was anybody working at LEGO today to update the site, being January 1st and Sunday above that.

Takua Nui of GoAnimate Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Black Phantom is buy-worthy for syre. The armored him far better than the prelim.Also, I'm wondering why most of the heroes are $13 now. The whole "more" pieces thing?Yes, they're more expensive because they have more pieces and larger pieces. They're all fully armored (contrast 2.0 and 3.0 heroes, especially Bulk), have longer limb pieces, armor in new places (e.g. Breez's Samus armor and back armor), and have more weapons. Also, Furno has a propeller pack.The "sarcasm quotes" imply you believe they're the same size, which they aren't.I'm glad that they're increasingly dispensing with the gratuitous asymmetry. At least on Two-Face, it's a deliberate stylistic choice, rather than totally arbitrary as on all the 2.0s and some 3.0 heroes.Also, so much iron grey. It's becoming almost as bad as silver was during 2008.Rocka, Evo, and Two-Face all have it as their secondary color, and Makuta, Breez, Furno, and Surge all have a few iron grey parts.I'm still worried that Makuta's Thornax launcher will be pearl grey.

Aanchir Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Because the set designers are silly. Seriously, only Stormer and Bulk have kept consistent color schemes through all their forms, and if Bulk is a summer set, that'll probably change too.This is a sad truth, and it is the reason I think people who complain about Evo's lack of purple are silly. It was bound to change, just as everyone else in the Breakout line. There really is no way they could have made him purple short of recoloring the Glatorian head, and as awesome as that would have been, it just wasn't going to happen.Wait nobody even mentioned Nathan never mind.The thing is, all of them kept a major feature of their color scheme the same except for Surge and Stringer. Both of them started with an obvious primary (Blue/Black) and secondary (Silver/Orange), as well as their core color (Yellow/Orange). Now, both of them have two equally prominent colors, one of which as their original primary color (Blue/Black) and the other color (Lime/Blue) was not present on the original set.Evo's only color change was losing the purple, which was never a major part of his color scheme. Other than his core and head, he used yellow, black, and gunmetal in both incarnations.The other sets have kept largely consistent color schemes - Breez and Furno are both obviously mostly their original primary color, in addition to several other random colors. Stormer used to be white and blue, now the blue is restricted to his Hero Core and head, so his color scheme isn't nearly as consistent as you claim.At the same time, Surge's color scheme will have stayed a little bit more consistent than Stringer's if the Stringer set does in fact have blue as a secondary color. After all, the only real change to Surge's color scheme between his 1.0 and 2.0 appearances was that his head color was approximated as lime rather than yellow, and his Hero Core changed to match. Since his head color was a yellow-green color to begin with I see no problem with this, and truth be told I prefer the systematic 2.0 color schemes to the 1.0 color schemes.Stringer, on the other hand, kept his colors close to consistent between his 1.0 and 3.0 appearances, but the new Stringer's color switches to the complete opposite side of the color wheel. It's not a bad thing, necessarily, but after so much effort to keep the other heroes' color schemes consistent with only minor changes, it's a shame to see one where such great care isn't taken. The set will hopefully look good enough that this doesn't make much of a difference, like Evo.Speaking of Evo, a person on another site created a revamp of him where they (among other things) gave him his 2.0 chestplate and Hero Core, changed his head and Zamor Sphere colors to blue, and added his purple spikes to his tank arm. These changes give him a much more "classic" look.Surge's green is definitely in-character. However, there's so much of it that he's equally green with blue as he is blue with green. It's also a surprisingly bad color combination.Stringer's blue, while it looks better than most of the other Breakout color schemes (see: Breez, Furno, Surge), is also the most out-of-character. As such, I rank Surge and Stringer's color scheme problems roughly equally....Odd. I gave my Evo a 2.0 chestplate and made his head and zamor blue. I guess it's an obvious change.How can a color scheme be "in-character"? Usually I only see that term being used regarding personalities and actions of characters, not their appearance (unless, of course, it's a franchise where a character has to wear a costume that they might or might not be likely to wear, in which case it does become an action).Blue doesn't really conflict with Stringer's traditional theme (sonic/musical powers), and doesn't convey the idea much better than orange. And as far as personality is concerned I see no reason why it wouldn't work. It's just a bit jarring after other characters' color schemes have stayed close to the same after many different appearances in sets.In-character was being used metaphorically. It wasn't technically accurate, but I wanted a concise way to refer to how Surge's color scheme still made (some) sense as being the same character.Since color schemes are the main way to tell who's who in Hero Factory, changing an orange character to blue is a slightly problematic change.That's true. However, I anticipate that another way of telling the character is Stringer, besides his primary color and helmet, is that hopefully he has a "sound wave" pattern on his torso, just as many of the other characters' torsos reflect the theme or power they represented when they were first introduced. On a related note, I also wonder what Nex's chest pattern will resemble, since he and Evo sort of shared their "tech" theme. Perhaps it will diversify them by relating somehow to Nex's more specific theme of communication and networking.Quick, kind of random question. How might one go about extracting those super hi-res pictures from the legoshop site? The really big one that shows up in the sidebar when you roll over.http://cache.lego.com/r/dynamic/is/image/LEGO/####?&wid=2400&hei=1800Replace the #### with the set number for the main image. The alt images follow a similar pattern:http://cache.lego.com/r/dynamic/is/image/LEGO/####_alt1?&wid=2400&hei=1800http://cache.lego.com/r/dynamic/is/image/LEGO/####_alt2?&wid=2400&hei=1800...And so forth. Some sets have more than ten alt images, so continue increasing the number after "alt" until you see the "image not found" image (the one with various minifigures puzzling over a computer). Hope this helps. Quote Latest MOC: PAIGE (Prototype Artificial Intelligence, Gynoid Expression) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dotcom Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I just got Furno and Splitface on the mail a short while ago. With some minor part replacing to fix color issues, I find both of them are really awesome sets. Splitface in particular has to be one of my favorite HF villains overall. He's just really well made. The face parts are just so good. The fact that he has a trans green head doesn't hury, either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
