Star Wars the Clone Wars Season 3 Premiere!

Please note that there may be some spoilers ahead, that being said I will start.
Season 3 certainly has started off with a bang and its season subtitle (secrets) certainly is true. The first half hour of the hour long premiere starts by showing how the clones are trained and how they can fail. It follows domino squad which is a group of eccentric fools who can't work together. It ends with some morals about working together and everything turns out ok. Another thing it that the clones give themselves nicknames. Well the old crippled janitor, nicknamed 99, gives one of the clones the name heavy. At this point I scratched my head thinking "Wasn't their another clone already named that"? Well it turns out in the next half hour that this eccentric squad were the same clones in the episode "Rookies" back in first season. It certainly was neat that storylines are bing tied together now, as before most episodes were standalone. The next part also included the return of Assaj Ventress, who along with Grievous tried to attack Kamino. The episode ends with more morals and 99 being obviously killed, he sure was retarded for runing into open fire...!
Overall I really did enjoy this episode and I will be reviewing each episode every week so stay tuned!

Hero Factory

I've been getting into this new Hero Factory theme. I know its not as cool as Bionicle used to be, but it is BY the makers of Bionicle so it will get better. Also of note people have been saying how the figures aren't as big as Bionicle and there are less pieces. Well I believe the reason behind this is that it is a new theme and because it is replacing Bioncle. So the reason the Heroes are small and have less pieces is because Lego wants to "test the waters" so to speak and see if this theme gets good reviews. This way they won't lose too much money if the theme flops. Less pieces = more money Lego makes and less of a deficit if Hero Factory goes under.
With this in mind we can surely expect that next wave the Heroes will get a face life and be bigger and stronger. Already the villains are pretty good, so we can probably expect the heroes to be similar.

I'm sorry I haven't updated this blog in awhile.
Also I got Mark Surge and Corroder yesterday so new reviews will be on them. This is what you can expect in terms of a review calender.
