Breakout Continued?

Breakout seems different than the other part of Hero Factory. Unlike 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0, Breakout has only four heros, and one heroine, and each of them, apart from Rocka, have a mission to cuff an escaped villain (Rocka stayed behind at the Hero Factory Assembly Tower). 1, 2, & 3.0 had a team of six heros going to fight a villain leader, and the villain leader’s team. Stormer is not in Breakout, but he was in the other three. There have been preliminary photos for the later Hero Factory sets, and they, too look like they are from breakout. Stormer XL, one of the Heros, has hand cuffs, and the other probably do as well. Does this mean that Breakout is continued? The later 2012 list of Heros seems like the ones from early 2012, but with only four heros, and three villains. (The other four heros that they missed out in the earlier Hero Factory sets.) The known Heros for the latter Hero Factory sets are as follows:

Stormer XL
Bulk
Stringer
Nex
Core Hunter
Voltix
XT4

All of the heros (apart from one) have a villain to fight. Bulk V.S. Core Hunter, Stringer V.S. Voltix, and Nex V.S. XT4. That leaves Stormer with no enemy. In the January 2012 sets, Split-face is Surge’s arch-enemy. Will they bring back Stormers? On the LEGO website, there is a short movie about Breakout in which the villains escape. You see all of the 2.0 villains, as well as Corroder (there may be other 1.0 villains). This could mean that Von Nebula has escaped, and is back, but that’s only my idea, and NOT a rumor or anything like that. In the same movie on LEGO.com, you see Rocka fighting Black Phantom, with Stormer in the room. Stormer appears to be XL, and exactly like the one in the preliminary pictures. These two segments of Hero Factory seem like they ether are the same, both being Breakout, and therefore meaning that Breakout is continued, or are closely related. Your thoughts?

9455 Fangpyre Mech

New LEGO Ninjago set, Fangpyre Mech.

The set includes Kendo Cole and Fang-Suei as it’s minifigures. The Fangpyre Mech, the large vehicle included, is a large serpentine walker. The set has many good building techniques, especially the head and eyes. The Fangpyre Mech has few weapons, a missile, a lightsaber blade, and teeth, but also has large hands. Cole has what looks like an upgrade to the Scythe of Quakes and Fang-Suei has a banana (Is that what the snakes eat? Or do they fight with them?).

Pixar Movies, are they one?

Lately, I’ve noticed how similar things in some of Pixar movies are. Are they the same world? How could that be? Can live cars, live toys, bugs, and people be in the same world?
The reasons why I think Pixar movie are the same world (or very similar) is simple. There are various things included in some of the movies.

There are such things in movies such as…

1. Cars and Toy Story both have Dinoco.
* Dinoco in Cars is the winner of the latest piston cup’s sponsor.
* Dinoco in Toy Story is the petrol station Any and him mum stop at before going to Pizza Planet.

2. Toy Story 3 and UP both have a ball like Andy’s and a Lotso teddy bear.
* In Toy Story 3 (and I think in the other Toy Story movies), Any has a ball and there is the Lotso Teddy Bear.
* In Up, there is a ball like the one Any has, and a Lotso Teddy Bear that a young girl has in an apartment building when Mr. Fredricksen house flies by.

3. Toy Story, Toy Story 2, A Bug’s life, Up, and Cars all have Pizza Planet Trucks.
* Toy Story has a pizza planet truck at the petrol station where Any and his mum stop before going to Pizza Planet.
* In Toy Story 2, the toys drive a pizza planet truck as they chase Al to the airport.
* A Bug’s Life has a pizza planet truck near the place where the bug city is located.
* Up has a pizza planet truck in the city when Mr. Fredricksen is flying in his house.
* Cars has a Pizza Planet Truck when the race announcers are talking about the tie-breaker race

4. Toy Story 3 and Cars 2 both have Finn McMissile.
* Andy has a picture of Finn McMissile on his notice board.
* Finn McMissile is one of the main protagonists in Cars 2.

So, what do you think? Are they all one? It must have been quite fun for the Pixar people to put each of those things in their movies. I can’t get any photos to prove this, but I would’ve if I could’ve. If you have any of the movies, you can go check them up. I’m not sure what things Monsters has in it, but I’ve only watched it once and I don’t remember seeing any of them. Of course, I wasn’t looking for them at that time.
