Other sets seems less likely by the day. Quote
NovaBricks Posted May 30 Posted May 30 The theme's pretty damn dead but I'd still bet on a UCS BTAS Batmobile before we get an official funeral announcement. Quote

There will be no announcement. The low set number and coverage already renders the theme near-catatonic. Soon our single mini wave will disappear, and it'll just be D2C batmobile and a 4+ every year or so. Then every 18 months. Then eventually the UCS Pattmobile shows up in the icons line instead of under the DC theme in 2028. Quote
Lionbear8 Posted May 31 Posted May 31 that's why we must support the Superman mech set and the new Arkham set. the wallet talks! I'm hopeful we also get a book nook, on Batman or DC OT even a Batman superman one Lego really screwed up with no summer Superman sets. Quote
CloneCommando99 Posted May 31 Posted May 31 Wow. Can’t wait for Lego to ignore the most blatantly obvious movie to make sets for. Somehow Dick is in Tim’s suit and Jason is in Damian’s suit. Quote

Stop motion animated movies don’t tend to do well. The most blatantly obvious movie to make sets for currently has its merchandise flying off the shelves with not a single LEGO set in sight. Quote

When the bat symbol (with no figures but a microscale "easter egg" of a bat piece inside the logo) is our only 2026 DC set beyond a january wave consisting of a 4+ batboat and a batmobile with only batman, I'm blaming you for putting the idea in lego's heads.

Or literally just batman and no one else. Either it's both of them for $120 or just batman and a smaller batmobile for $80 UCS BtASmobile is pretty likely, and I agree it could easily just not have any minifigures at all. 12 hours ago, CloneCommando99 said: Somehow Dick is in Tim’s suit and Jason is in Damian’s suit. Redhead Jason is pretty cool, I'll consider this payback for Matt Murdock, Carnage, and all the others, even if his haircut is stupid. I was distracted by the hair color. Upon further inspection this design is awful. Overly punk hair, slingshot(?!?), and what the hell even are those boots. At least Dick looks solid, though as you say he's also in the wrong suit- but to give the designers some credit, at least looking at this picture I can tell it's Dick wearing Tim's suit and not Tim. But yeah no I don't think this movie does well at all, it sounds weirdly experimental and as slizer says stop motion movies don't do well. 6 hours ago, psqidexslizer said: They’re probably right to skip this one, tbf. Stop motion animated movies don’t tend to do well. Yeah nothing about this movie has made sense to me. It's a weird choice. Oh, and right- If soup does well, we don't get any sets. If soup fails, it'll turn out lego was rushing to produce sets for it and we'll end up with the only 2026 DC sets being soup movie ones, including soup (re-use from mech) lex (re-used parts), and that's it.

IMO, the Batboat doesn’t have the same appeal as the Batmobile and the Batwing, which is why we haven’t gotten one in a while. Batcopter falls in the same category. As for the UCS BtAS Batmobile, I could see it coming with Batman, Joker, and Phantasm. Lego knows that exclusive minifigures are a massive draw for these sets, so they’re bound to include at least one. 2 hours ago, Mandalorianknight said: Oh, and right- If soup does well, we don't get any sets.

IMO, earliest we see more Superman sets if the movie does well is spring of 2027. And I don’t think they’ll be based on the movie. Not only would a couple of years have passed, but comics have more visually interesting characters like Brainiac, Bizarro, Lobo, and a bunch of guys Lego won’t be making that can be thrown in sets as opposed to Engineer, Ultraman(?), and the Time Travel Outfit Avengers. And if I had to make a guess, I’d say it’ll be a Fortress of Solitude. Quote

Legoman123 Posted June 1 Posted June 1 When is Arkham supposed to be releasing? It seems we haven’t really got any info on it at all unlike other D2C sets such as the Black Pearl. Quote

We’ll probably get a partial figure list early July and the final list right around the reveal, if the other superhero modulars are anything to go off of (we got the figure list for the X-Mansion around 4 months in advance, but that seems to be a special case given we knew about that sets existence close to 18 months in advance).

BatDeanj Posted June 2 Posted June 2 I'm surprised there been no new info other than the price and piece count since November. For the shadow box the picture of the penguin leaked like 4 months in advance and we knew it was only Returns rather quickly With Arkham there has been nothing really, I hope we get something soon like this month and then leaked pictures late july/august. I hope this isnt a worrying sign Quote

THELEGOBATMAN Posted June 2 Posted June 2 Just now, Legoman123 said: Is there any other sets this has happened with? As in the leaks have been kept this tight? Sure, it's nothing uncommon. Leaks don't really follow patterns. There's so many different ways things can leak—retailers, descriptions, real-life pictures, minifigure leaks, set images etc. that no one can really predict when and if something will leak. Some sets leak early, some get fed to us for weeks, others are leaked only days before the official reveal. When it comes to information, like a minifigure list, it's entirely dependent on the leakers and their own schemes. Quote

If I got a nickle every time people thought a set was cancelled due to a lack of leaks, I‘d have enough money to buy at least a medium-sized sandwich As @THELEGOBATMAN says, this means nothing. Some sets, particularly D2C ones, just leak later than others. No patterns, no rhyme, no reason ^^ Thus, it’s nothing to read into tbh. Quote

Ah, I see it now! That makes perfect sense!!! Still 81 has got to play into it somewhere? Maybe the main build uses 81 pieces. 81 might seem small but maybe it's the sum total and the average minifig uses about 5 parts so once you've subtracted the 2025 minifigs you have a net gain of 81 parts! So following on from the assumption that the average minifig uses 5 parts then I'd X - 5(2025) = 81 then because 5*2025 = 10,125 then X = 81 + 10,125 = 10,206. So the perhaps the build uses 10,206 parts? It's the perfect number because when you add up the individual digits you get 9! 9th day! 9th month and a year with a digital root of 9! 999 Arkham is crazy, so flipping crazy! Wait flipping? Flip 999 and you get 666! The number of the beast! KGB beast might be included then? Edit - I thought I was in the Aslume thread... Whoops Edited June 2 by Agent Kallus Quote
