LEGO HERO Factory

[Magical Girl Mimi]

Discuss the new line here.

the big white guy better be awesome

[Magical Girl Mimi]

Big white guy? You mean Stormer?(I'm only using the 'last names'. )

[Trijhak]

The current sets better only be the Small Sets-just because we did not get pics of 'canister' sets does not mean that there will not be any.

Oh yeah, and IMO, the BIONICLE Board should be turned into 'LEGO Action Figure Themes Board', seeing as HF uses the nearsame pieces as BIONICLE, and BIONICLE is classified as an Action-Figure Theme by LEGO.

LAFT Board would include:
Bionicle
Exo-Force
Hero Factory

Ben 10 goes into LEGO- it''s licensed.

[Magical Girl Mimi]

KZ: Bionicle's too big to have to share a board. And besides, Exo-Force isn't an action figure line, otherwise Agents would be too for having the Robot, and Power Miners... Exo-Force is system.

[Trijhak]

Exo-Force was classified as an Action-Figure Line in Shop@Home-that's what I'm basing it off of, and Action figures can be made out of system. Power Miners and Agents are not because the majority of sets are usual vehicles. Exo-Force had Mechs primarily. No other Line ever did.

[Magical Girl Mimi]

Rahkshi: The pieces will fit perfectly, as they use the Glatorian hands, the Glatorian heads, and variants of the Av-Matoran limbs.

And as for the price, if it's more than the Stars, it's an even better deal, because it's 7.99. =P

KZ: So then, where's the heads? Action figures usually have heads.

[Trijhak]

@Blade: Some new variants of Avtoran Arms....

Oh, and guys? According to Greg the story team is the same as the one for BIONICLE. Except for Greg, who stays on BIONICLE.

KZ: Not all of them, some have the old arms.

Really? Hmm. So Greg's not gonna be on it too?

MsRR: Already kinda known *Points to BZP*... But, thanks for posting everything at once, even if it's from that site. Also, you put about look at more pics there... Yet they're already in the post. =P

[Trijhak]

Blade, you are incorrect, those are Av-toran limbs with more natural bended position.

[Magical Girl Mimi]

That's weird, I thought sure I had seen an Av-toran limb on one of the 6 revealed... =/

[Trijhak]

Has anyone noticed the fact that they seem to be brining back different Eye colours again? =D

[Magical Girl Mimi]

Looks like typical Glatorian eye colours to me... Three Orange, 2 Trans Limegreen, and 1 Trans Blue.

[mtmerrick]

ya can't see stormer's eyes.

[The Host]

Stormer is the coolest IMO (pun not intended, but whatev).

The one thing that sticks out to me about all of these sets is that the arms are VERY lacking. The whole set seems to be well armoured and weaponed, except for the arms.

[Magical Girl Mimi]

MTM: *Points at holes in helmet* But you can see his head, which is Trans Ice Blue, like Strakk, Gelu, and Mata Nui.

ZLS: Yeah, well it's not like any small set before the Stars were well armoured in the arm department. And it seems like a throwback to the Nuva in a way(Look at their legs and feet). For a line that's not supposed to be Bionicle... =P

[The Host]

eh, Lego didn't do a bad job. At least we get new pieces.

[Magical Girl Mimi]

Yes, those new pieces'll be good, especially the new masks(Finally I can make a female that's not blue. ), and the more '01-like limbs that are Av-Matoran styled. =D(Those leg limbs'll definitely come in handy)

Also, you can bump the piece count up to definitely four confirmed for each, as those legs have armour. And those legs also seem to have a connector at the top, judging from the top of the armour piece. Therefore, the armour and the leg is separate. =) Plus there's the fact that the legs and armour are different colours...

[The Host]

Why is the line called Lego Hero 'Factory'? The Factory part seems odd.
