Mountain Drew Posted July 12, 2018 Posted July 12, 2018 I'm sure we'll be getting a set based on Shazam (or at least a Shazam fig in a different set like they did with the Suicide Squad), I was just curious.

But as of yet nothing is confirmed Well, our first trailers/teasers for both Aquaman and Shazam have been confirmed to be premiering at SDCC in a few weeks from now, so...
MakkaG15 Posted July 14, 2018 Posted July 14, 2018 (edited) Anyone else think that at SDCC they'll reveal the Aquaman set? Also with Shazam having 2 different types of boots for the movie, which pair will be on a figure? Edited July 14, 2018 by MakkaG15

No Ocean Master, but we can always hope he will turn up eventually.

With the debut of the film's first teaser to be taking place there, I'd suspect that will indeed be the case, as the set's release date is approaching awfully close.
Robert8 Posted July 15, 2018 Posted July 15, 2018 What is the release date for the Aquaman sets? Because the movie comes out on december. But Disney just moved Marry Popins so I would expect Warner Bros. to do the same with Aquaman If Warner push up Aquaman, the sets might be out (a little bit) earlier than expected

Lionbear8 Posted July 22, 2018 Posted July 22, 2018 So much potential for a new underwater themed DC sets led by aquaman with cameos from the JL
Mountain Drew Posted July 22, 2018 Posted July 22, 2018 Now I'm a bit skeptical about a Shazam themed set. From what was shown in the trailer I don't really see how they can make a playset or vehicle. The only thing I think they can do is something similar to the The ATM Heist Battle set for Spiderman Homecoming, but instead of an ATM its a convenient store. I find it more likely that we'll just get a Shazam fig in a different set.

I could see two possible sets - A Rock of Eternity set with a turntable to transform Billy into Captain Marvel and a throne for The Wizard. -Some kind of badguy vehicle for Sivanna with Captain Marvel (Shazam) and either Billy or Freddie
Mountain Drew Posted July 22, 2018 Posted July 22, 2018 (edited) As long as we finally get a Shazam fig (and maybe a Billy Batson), I'll buy it. It seems like if its not a team-up movie Lego only does one $30 set, I just don't know what kind of vehicle or building they could do to make it worth that much to me. But I probably would have said the same thing about an Aquaman set if a trailer came out a few months back instead of after the set was released. Edited July 22, 2018 by Mountain Drew

Only because the Lego Batman movie figures are soooo good. That old style poison ivy has nothing on the movie version... Really, these minifigures are lame minus the dual molded legs. :P The costume and hairpiece was fantastic on the movie version, but I didn't like the face much. The oversized eyelashes made her look too anime-ish like the Star Wars Clone Wars figures and I never liked the mole on her face (or any of the female characters really - what was up with every woman in the movie having blemishes on their faces?). I also prefer the standard evil smile/angry expressions over the weird pursed lips ones. I don't mind this new Ivy figure but I agree it could definitely be better. The darker costume is an improvement over the bright lime green on the original but it lacks the same detail in printing. Going back to the Elsa hairpiece is also a step back since she doesn't have the printed leaves anymore and the mold doesn't quite fit her character as well as the movie version with the much longer, thicker length.

Yeah, with almost all my Batman villains now, it's the body/hair from TLBM minifigs, and then the heads from their older versions. Seems like Lego went out of their way to make the face of any 'new' bad guy match up to the standard style, but then went nuts with Joker/Ivy/Riddler/etc., like all the 'standard' bad guys that are gonna pop up again, like Ivy is here.

Odds are any new version of Shazam will be even better than the one from com-con, especially if it includes more details like arm printing, duel molded legs, or dare I ask a custom cape with gold trim. All that being said, I would even take the previously released version of Shazam... ending the artificial scarcity of at least one fig and the related frustration of not being able to acquire it (without unnecessary financial hardship). Please LEGO give us an easy to obtain Shazam minifig, in a set I could purchase from Target or LEGO-Shop-at-Home. Restore my faith in you LEGO.
Mountain Drew Posted July 22, 2018 Posted July 22, 2018 I have the one from Comic Con. The problem is that its too valuable to use for anything other than display. Thats why I don't buy the Comic Con figs anymore (they also take quite a toll on my wallet)

It would defeat the exclusivity of a figure they described as exclusive. I think in the future we will not see exclusive variants of such popular characters, but those already released are water under the bridge.

In Comic Con 2013 they released him as an "exclusive", then like 5 months later they released him in the 79014 Dol Guldur Battle set. And yes, it was the exact same fig, now the only thing exclusive about him is the packaging.

If the cinematic movie ends up not offering much in the way of set material, perhaps Lego may opt to instead give a comic-styled version (New 52 variant, perhaps) shoehorned into a typical comic-based playset for the winter wave.

Anonknee Muss Posted July 23, 2018 Author Posted July 23, 2018 The winter soldier didn’t get anything in the way of sets, but did get a poly bag, seee where I’m going with this?

Usually when they release SDCC figs that are going to appear elsewhere they omit the word "exclusive" (look at 2014's Bard). I wouldn't count on it to keep happening, though. The idea of exclusives is for them to be unique to the giveaway, and it seems those are Lego's intentions by the public statements they have made. I'd love to get my hands on all of these as much as the next guy, but it really is unlikely considering the whole idea is for them to be unique. Edited July 23, 2018 by BrickHat
Mountain Drew Posted July 23, 2018 Posted July 23, 2018 I've noticed the Lego is starting to rerelease old sets that are worth a lot now (Millennium Falcon, Taj Mahal, etc.) so that sellers won't be able to put a $2000 price tag on a set that was worth $500. Maybe they will do the same for minifigures at some point. 14 hours ago, J4ck said: The winter soldier didn’t get anything in the way of sets, but did get a poly bag, seee where I’m going with this? I think the reason for that is because even that movie could be considered more mature themed than some of the other Marvel movies, or maybe because it wasn't a team-up movie. But Shazam is such a ridiculous and kid-friendly character (that's a good thing) that Lego would have to be crazy not to try to cash in on him.
