nightschwing Posted July 14, 2015 Posted July 14, 2015 August 1st. Maybe a little before then at ToysRUs, since they always put their products out a little before the street date. If anyone finds them at Toys R Us by Saturday, they'll be on sale. All LEGO Super Heroes sets are 20% off this week. Quote
Dunedain Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 I doubt they will be in Toys R Us this Saturday, but if they are, 20% off would be awesome. I just have no faith that the new sets will be there. If anything, they are probably using the 20% off, to get rid of the older sets FIRST, and in turn making room for the new ones. A little FYI, I actually bought the Jokerland set from Bricklink. I got it from a seller in Belgium, and WITH the shipping, it came out to $120.00 bucks. I got it within a week and a half. It is going to be $120 bucks here, plus tax, so I figured why not, and I got it a month in advance. Quote

A lot of people forget to factor in tax, so an opportunity like that is one to really jump on. Quote
TheSpritePlate Posted July 18, 2015 Posted July 18, 2015 I found the batboat set at a Target in San Francisco. Quote
Dunedain Posted July 18, 2015 Posted July 18, 2015 (edited) Hey SpritePlate, how much was that Batboat set at Target? Edited July 18, 2015 by Dunedain Quote
TheSpritePlate Posted July 18, 2015 Posted July 18, 2015 Hey SpritePlate, how much was that Batboat set at Target? It was $29.99 Quote
Neomars Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 (edited) Target DPCI # for Batboat: 204001105 Thank You for this. If anyone else finds Jokerland at Target the DCPI would be much appreciated. Edited - Thank you very much. I looked it up and actually found it at my local Target. Edited July 20, 2015 by Neomars Quote
Darth Carlos Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 Do you guys have the DPCI #s for the other superheroe sets? Quote
Neomars Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 Do you guys have the DPCI #s for the other superheroe sets? For the Carnage Shield Sky Attack the DCPI is 204-00-1103. It doesn't look like they have the Villan Team-Up or Jokerland yet though. Quote
RobLego Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 Thank You for this. If anyone else finds Jokerland at Target the DCPI would be much appreciated. Edited - Thank you very much. I looked it up and actually found it at my local Target. No problem. Glad you found it! Quote
BrickSev Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 Do we know if there will be other DC sets scheduled to be released in 2015? I haven't the chance to check rumors recently Anyway regarding Jokerland I want to say it is a wonderful set. I had so much fun building it. I decided to buy it for the Minifigures but I enjoyed the build far more than the Minfigures. Don't misunderstand me, the Minifigures are nice but they have mixed look from different sources. I mean, Batman wears his New 52 costume (and with boot printing as well ) Beast Boy has green skin like he was on "New Earth" (pre New 52) version and Starfire is the version from Teen Titans go. They mixed a lot of things. It's not bad per se. I'm just disappointed with Starfire. I was so excited to have a Minifigure of her but instead of the comic version they made the Teen Titan go version with purple hair and a terrible hairpiece that prevent any headpiece movement. Do you have any idea to replace that hairpiece? Perhaps some read hairpiece from the Friends/Elves sets? Do you think there is a better hairpiece for the lovely Princess Kori that looks more like her comics version? Thank you very much for the help. She is one of my favorite characters Quote
8BrickMario Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 (edited) Any long hairpiece will restrict head movement, so nothing else is going to solve the problem. It's obvious why they didn't make the comic version of Starfire, so they went all out with the TTG designs so she wouldn't be out of place. I think they all look great, minus the setup for a chance to buy a "new" Harley with hair next year, like putting boots on Batman in only one set this year. I feel like they will rerelease the minifigure with proper hair, but it's just a cheap marketing tactic that takes advantage of budget limitations. EDIT: Here's a horrendous Photoshop mock-up I made of what they should have done. Edited July 21, 2015 by 8BrickMario Quote

TheAmazingDarkKnight Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 http://brickseek.com...ventory-checker Okay, thanks! I called the Target and they were nice enough to pull the sets from the cases early and put them on hold for me. Quote
BrickSev Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 It's obvious why they didn't make the comic version of Starfire, so they went all out with the TTG designs so she wouldn't be out of place. Honestly it's neither obvious nor understandable, since the current Starfire costume is not more "skimpy" than Slave Leia bikini and they had no problem in making that Minifigure. However I don't want to start talking about the "costumes issues" lol Quote
8BrickMario Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 Well, Slave Leia wears a full bikini, while straps only cover what would be censored on Starfire's body. I think both are skimpy, but Starfire's leaves much less to the imagination. Quote

I think both are skimpy, but Starfire's leaves much less to the imagination. Actually the Starfire's costume from Starfire #1 and #2 2015 series is less skimpy than Leia Bikini. I don't have an image to link here but if you google it you can see it by yourself. It's actually a top over a bikini bottom, so much less revealing than Leia bikini Not that being skimpy is a crime lol but if that was the designers's concern that Starfire's would be more "suitable" than Leia bikini, just for the records Anyway does anyone have a suggestion for a read hairpiece for Starfire? At least I'm trying to give her the right colored hair Quote
8BrickMario Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 She has a new, better costume, but the one before was unsuitable for a LEGO design. For red hair, I'd try April's hair from the TMNT movie sets. Ariel's hair might work, too, but the new design has more orange hair, so some of those hairpieces could work too. Quote

Well, like I said I don't want to enter the "costumes issue" discussion, since I know it tends to bring the conversation out of topic lol and it's a quite "sensitive" one I read so many "fervent" quarrels on that matter Thanks for the info on the hairpiece. The only problem is I can't find the TMNT sets. I can try to Bricklink the parts but every time I find what I need it is sold by a seller outside EU and that increases the shipping cost considerably. I'll keep looking I was thinking about using some of the read hairpieces from the Elves/Friends sets (which I can find at a nice price, sometimes even discounted) but I noticed perhaps the red of those hairpieces is a bit darker for Starfire. I know it's not easy to find the right hairpiece for her comics version, since it should be also be longer than most available hairpieces but I'm trying to get the closest possible with the available parts Quote
ARSLOCK Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 Target DPCI # for Batboat: 204001105 thank you. used brickseek and found my target had 3 in the back. got them to get it for me today at lunch (from the back). finally have deathstroke!!! Quote
8BrickMario Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 I found nothing today. but I'm fine with that, as I'm not interested in getting the sets just yet. Quote
