Not bad. I'm liking that minion face for bots (yes, I have some Space loyalty) and quite possibly skeletons, and all those Dk Bley basic bricks in the boat will make for a nice castle. The evil minifigs are good, but not so much the good ones. The temple looks nice for peices, as Lenny commented on the 1x1 black and white flat tiles. I didn't get any Harry Potter, so the tan on the temple is a bit out of place for me, but that boat will be a good set.

EDIT:
Lenny (or anyone else who's seen these), what kind of peices is the boat mostly made of? 2x4?

They look good! I'm especially looking forward to the figs, all those 1x1 tiles, the white baseplate, and the large quantity of dark bley. And is that a lion head statue I see insinde the ship?

Thanks for posting!

I see alot of useful parts! Not only are there large numbers of generic pieces, but also the flags, the throwing disc deals, and the fig parts will have a welcome place in my collection. I've never been into Anime-type shows, so I ahve no idea what this is all about, but cool pieces anyways...

Awesome parts selection. I was beginning to wonder when these were coming out. Can't wait!

Aang might make for a good jester...

The armor doesn't really do much for me, though it is still better than KK2v1 and 2...

Torsos look okay...

Still not liking the flesh tones... another line with heads I can't use...

Sets look a little plain, especially the ship. Though it is a good start for a WW2 battleship...

The rabbit-bat-monkey hybrid thing might be useful for some sort of castle creature.

All in all, I'd say a mediocre line...

I've been a fan of this line since I first saw it listed... it's loaded with potential once melted into the Castle theme... my favorite is the "skull" minion, (here), but the armor and some of the pieces are sweet too...

I'm a little conflicted about some of the fleshie heads... had they been classic yellow, they would be the perfect jester heads, as mentioned earlier, but I'm not sure how it will all meld in with fleshies and traditional...

Either way, I'm still a great fan of this line, and this brickshelf folder is a perfect display of what we'll be getting when we buy it... you couldn't ask for a better illustration of the parts/potential.

Lots of civilian clothes, and armors are great for Shadowkra. Im thinking to modify the minion head a bit, so it will work perfectly as a plague doctor.

The dark red helmets are great too, and all the fleshies will be serve as soldiers in Shadowkra. The female head is superb, but the hair thingies are annoying- resulting in that she can only have one haircolor or else it looks wierd. The hair is also too close to the eyes so I wont risk a head.

I think the designs look good, have never heard of this Tv-show though... do we know if these sets are going to be sold world wide?

Is it just the pics or are these paler than the usual fleshies? If that´s the case they could be used for both undead and dark elves.

Not a problem Nate! I posted to Bshelf so that people would be able to find them on their own.

I also got pictures of Spongebob, but Kevin Loch hasn't moderated it yet.

Interesting to read people's reaction. Personally, I've seen the show, Avatar (on Nickelodeon). It reminds me a lot of Pirates of Dark Water, but a bit more young and fun. But it also has its serious moments. If you havent checked it out yet, I highly recommend it. >>HIGHLY<<

The sets were fun to build. I built the temple while a friend built the Ship. Not incredibly challenging, but playing with the figs was fun. I'm definately going to buy the Air Temple, if not the Fire Navy Ship too. Both are great!

My son and I love to watch the show whenever we can - it's fantastic. I can't wait to show him these pics! Thanks Lenny for posting 'em, and thanks Nate for beating Lenny to the punch and making a thread. :D

I will definitely be getting both of these sets.. The figs are fantastic (though Sokka actually should have had a hair piece instead of print but that can be remedied.. by customs!) and the sets themselves aren't bad. I do not like the way they are fleshies, but heck.. whattayagonnado?

I almost wish lego would make up its mind and either switch to all fleshies or all yellow.. the two just dont work well together! (and dang me to heck if this spirals off into another fleshie vs. yellow thread) :P

great show, great figures. But I'm buying em for the fleshies! Long live my star wars empire without any yellow head!

Am I the only one who thinks that head from the guy with the vladek mask is perfect for a magnaguard? (from ROTS)
