Was looking around on the internet tonight and it seems that Ultimate Soldier XD is back..... Just in Lego Form. They have a web site and here are some photos of their offerings.

Oh wow. Those are direct lego knock offs. I hope they are quality and cheap.

This is a joke right? Your pulling our legs.

It's not a joke unfortunately
A forum member on onesixthwarriors confirmed it from his sources

Seeing how Lego's patents on their minifigs ran out a few years ago, it's no surprise that other companies will use this design/format.

WWII figs are great.

They don't look Xtremly Detailed anymore...

They give us WWII panzer commanders but no panzers and they are more expensive than Legos. This will be a short lived experiment at this rate.

price wise, they are close to lego pricing, but the lack of figures per set is what makes it seem more expensive.

However, McFarlane takes the cake for overpriced building sets with his walking dead tripe.

I may order one of these sets and see how good they are.

on second thought, this looks like shit

That tail is FLAT! my daughter could build a better helo than this.

These xd sets are interesting. I like the idea of having more choices to go with the Joe sets and CoD sets... but the detail is really low on these. They look like something a kid would build out of a big pile of generic bricks, not a detailed vehicle with lots of specialty pieces. It's almost quaint in it's simplicity, but not something I'd pay lego prices for. Not even 50% lego prices like the constantly-on-sale Kre-o and Megabloks sets.

Bottom line, I like the idea, but the execution seems seriously lacking.

I bought this as a 3000 piece panzer factory. The individually linked treads are numerous.

Interesting from a brand standpoint but otherwise.. blah. I wonder who's behind this?

I thought the Illuminati were behind everything?
