  2. I love the set. I wish it was bigger. I also wish it had some sort of display plaque.

  3. Yep. Yellow and Blue were always bigger, since they are the legs. Green and Red were always smaller. Black Lion was always the largest. My level of excitement is off the charts on this.

  4. Under the old system, I had zero chance, because I’m not waiting in line for 12 hours. Under this system, even if I don’t get anything at least I had a chance. This is a win-win for a majority here, though. More people have a chance to get the exclusives. And, it gets people out of line and back inside spending money. Hard to spend money in the con when you’re waiting in line. Overall, customer and vendor satisfaction should go up this year.

  15. Speaking as someone who works in a corporate legal department (albeit not one for a consumer products company), this post is completely uninformed. There are two things to understand about IP protection that I think are important here: (1) the need to go after infringers, and (2) the level of effort involved in going after infringers. On the first point, a company with IP rights has to be diligent in going after infringers or risks the possibility of a court finding that its failure to do resulted in a waiver of whatever IP rights it may have once had. This is why companies will draw hard lines against people like Brickshow who are infringing their rights for purpose of promoting their products. There are likely other concerns at play as well, but this is often a major driver in situations like this. On the second point, it is important to realize that it is much much easier to address infringement on a platform like Youtube than it is to go after an individual website or rogue manufacturer. Youtube had an entire compliance infrastructure built to respond to claims of infringement by rights holders because Google has deep pockets and doesn't want to get sued. Bottom line in this case is that Brickshow played with fire by posting watermarked pictures and got burned. It sucks for them and everyone who liked watching their videos, but there is no mystery to why it happened. Sent from my SM-G965U using Brickpicker Forum mobile app

  18. Actually set pics are beautiful. I can’t believe Voltron didn’t take off in the 70s-80s in Europe while it blew up in the USA, Asia and of course its birthplace in Japan. For the late 30s to 50 something’s in Asia and US this set is is totally awesome and will sell out fairly quick. Asian demand will probably be very high on this. Truly a must have in multiples. If designers can design this mech this well imagine the possibilities with other great mech from the past!!

  32. Since it seems like we're all in a pissy mood, my only contribution to this thread is that they only thing that the Brickshow takedown revealed to me was that I really dislike M&RProductions. I was on the fence before, but his video where he "broke" the news was really childish.

  33. The big guys are not necessarily fine. The mechanisms used to address the larger scale infringement move more slowly than the Youtube takedown process and the targets may profit from their activities in the meantime giving the appearance that all is well, but when they go down, they go down HARD. Brickshow may have lost their Youtube account, but they didn't have federal marshals raid their house and confiscate their computers and Lego or have an injunction entered preventing them from doing anything with Lego while awaiting a trial that they will lose and in which they will get slapped with a multi-million dollar judgment. Just because you don't see larger infringers getting their ass handed to them by Lego, doesn't mean that it isn't happening. Sent from my SM-G965U using Brickpicker Forum mobile app

  34. It has nothing to do with the size of the infringer...it has to do with the mechanism to address the enforcement. It's easier to send a takedown notice to Youtube than sue a contract manufacturer in China. That doesn't mean you don't go after the manufacturer, but it's easier, faster and far more visible when you go after the Youtuber Sent from my SM-G965U using Brickpicker Forum mobile app Ha!

  36. I bought two large Power Ranger Lion Fire Fortress Zord for $30/each last night. I had been drinking and thought it was a good idea. I'm positive I was wrong. They had virtually nothing left but these things, and there were easily 50 of them. That should have been a clue. Drunk people don't pick up on clues.

  40. And I'm starting to think too many people think this stuff is worth more than gold... but without the understanding of how to pack it. Wrapped it in black plastic and slapped a label on it. I'm also positive that my post office must be full of rabid hyenas. Found this on my doorstep yesterday. Thankfully the seller refunded immediately and asked for a few more pictures as he purchased postal insurance.
