Is it just me...
or does nobody seem to like Ben 10. I saw them for 75% off in Target and still wasn't tempted.

Re: Is it just me...
Sorry, it is not my cup of tea. Besides, there are many other more interesting sets I haven't got yet.

Re: Is it just me...
Every where I go they are on sale too it seems. I don't see any appeal in them, but I have seen a few kids playing with them.
Who is General Failure and why is he reading my hard disk?
Re: Is it just me...
I kind of hated the bionical series as it really does not look like lego to me anymore. The same goes with these sets.
Re: Is it just me...
My little guy likes Bionicles but Ben 10 doesn't seem to click with him. On the good side, more funds for daddy's Lego habit now that Bionicles are ending. :D

I have inoperable cancer and am unable to work. Any gifts would be appreciated. Thank you!
Re: Is it just me...
I didn't get into Bionicles and not getting into Hero Factory either. I tried to like the movies but I hate them.
Re: Is it just me...
Hate em, as do my target-age-group boys. Has anyone seen any decent MOCs using those pieces?
Perfectly illustrates how the LEGO company can make obvious missteps that any LEGO fan could have easily predicted for them. Just like not producing enough collectable minifigs to meet demand. Minifig scale Ben10 would have sold fine, but there was probably a licensing reason they couldn't compete with other companies' action figures.

Re: Is it just me...
It's not just you. Those sets are god awful. Target and Walmart are pushing those sets on clearance something awful and they're just so pathetic.

Re: Is it just me...
Personally, I think Ben 10 looks like drugged up Bionicles.

I don't know, if I saw Spidermonkey coming at me I would think I was drugged up.possum wrote:Drugs are way more fun than those things look.yankeeken wrote:Personally, I think Ben 10 looks like drugged up Bionicles.

Re: Is it just me...
I'm sure someone, somewhere, already has come up with an awesome use for these pieces. It's obviously not me... but someone out there...

But then again, this is the only decent Galidor MOC I've ever seen.

Re: Is it just me...
If they were much cheaper I'd possibly be tempted. But the amount of usable parts is small and I'm not going to shell out that much money for something I'm not going to use, even though I like the colors.NIGELTTF wrote:or does nobody seem to like Ben 10.

Re: Is it just me...
Even 75% off wasn't enough, I suppose I'd give it a shot at 90% off, the only lego I passed on at 90% off was Galidor.Mantisking wrote:If they were much cheaper I'd possibly be tempted.

I don't recall seeing them at 75% off. I must have missed that sale. I'm not even going for the "buy $40 of Lego and get a Ben 10 free" sale at TRU.NIGELTTF wrote:Even 75% off wasn't enough, I suppose I'd give it a shot at 90% off, the only lego I passed on at 90% off was Galidor.

Re: Is it just me...
Maybe 'buy a LEGO set and get Ben 10 free.' Not that the Ben 10 is enticing, it's just a perk.Mantisking wrote:NIGELTTF wrote:or does nobody seem to like Ben 10.

Re: Is it just me...
The line sells horrible so I doubt there will be another wave. Even when on sale, they're barley moving out of the shelves at all.
Re: Is it just me...
These are absolutely terrible and I don't even consider them lego. There like lesser life forms of lego.
