Summer 2012 images are here!

Don't get too excited, we still have some people that need to get their Breakout sets.

There are 7 currently revealed sets, and the eighth will be revealed soon.
As I said before, distributing these pictures is illegal, so I will not post pictures.
So, I will describe them.

Heroes:

6221 NEX: Not really a fan favorite. LEGO seems to have cut the green out of Nex's color scheme and replaced it with more white. Nex's chestplate is white with a white core. The helmet resembles a combination of Nex 2.0's head and Nathaniel Zib's head. Not one of my favorites.

6282 STRINGER: This one... He no longer incorporates orange/Keetongu orange into his color scheme, but this time... blue? Seriously? Also, he comes with a silver hero Meteor Launcher. And a plain blue chest plate.

6223 BULK: Epic. Win. He has cannons mounted on his shoulders. How much cooler can you get? We get the MTIS piece in black and 3-long trans orange armor pieces.

6230 STORMER XL: This is the iteration of Stormer we saw in the trailer. Not much to say here, except there is a new type of armor that resembles wings, a remold of the Hulk chestplate with a 2 peg attachment, and a new foot mould. This guy's pretty cool.

Villains:

6229 XT4: He's kinda weird looking. XT4 is a yellow Waspix/Meltdown "hybrid" creature/drone with no hands, instead using blades from the 3.0 line. This guy also has one red eye and a pseudo-Meltdown face.

6222 CORE HUNTER: Core Hunter is EPIC. He looks like a shorter Black Phantom without Arachnix, horns, or green. We're receiving Savage Planet claws in red and we're getting Rocka's bandolier again. He also has a new red Thornax launcher and a black launcher top.

6283 VOLTIX: This is the guy we saw in the Breakout movie trailer, except sloppier looking. He has no hands, instead preferring a bright yellow Meltdown tentacle for hands. This guy is my favorite next to Core Hunter.

The unknown villain will apparently be called "SPEEDA DEMON".

EDIT 1-15-2011: SPEEDA DEMON's picture is out. He has four arms, some trans-green armor, gold 3.0 claws like we saw in the Ninjago line, Black Phantom's head in lime green, and to top it all off: a nearly solid PURPLE version of the Furno Bike with a PURPLE Bohrok head and a PURPLE Skrall armor plate. I'm getting this guy before all of the other series 5 sets. Totally.

Pairing up Heroes/ Villains (according to set numbers, this is only a prediction)
Edit 1-15-11
Stormer XL vs. Speeda Demon
Nex vs. Core Hunter
Bulk vs. XT4?
Stringer vs. Voltix



More info to come.

Expect Summer 2012 HF prelims soon!

Hello Hero Factory fans!

Today, I have found that summer 2012 LEGO System set pics have been uploaded.
New themes are LEGO Friends ( kinda like the girl-targeted Belville line) and LEGO Lord of the Rings.
Eurobricks member Mesonak contacted the uploader of all the other summer 2012 pics and he said that he had HF set pics.
He said they will be uploaded soon, so keep your eyes open around next week!
However, I will NOT be posting pictures to the blog, as distributing pictures with the "CONFIDENTIAL" label is a criminal offense.

I would expect the heroes to be Stormer, Nex, Bulk, Stringer, and a new hero.
Villains, on the other hand, I have no idea about, but I would expect one to be the purple villain we saw in the Rocka vs. Black Phantom video.
