Steppenwolf looks absolutely disgusting. Not a fan of the Flying Fox set overall, and the fact that there is another Batmobile.... Why just why.... 

Really glad we're getting two mother boxes. I'm hoping they'll do something similar with Avengers Infinity War with the stones. The figures are great, sad to see though that Superman does not have a different costume. 

Flash, Aquaman and Cyborg look really good! And those Parademons are great! So many!!!   

Totally agree on the Flying Fox set. I hate that cannon on the Batmobile, it completely ruins the look. This might be the first time I've hated stud shooters on something. We're actually getting all three Mother Boxes, though! Steppenwolf is holding a red one in the FF set.

Why the batmobile? Because he's batman! And batman sells, unfortunately. And steppenwolf? I'm glad their reusing the nexo knights mold, but that doesn't mean it doesn't still suck.

Groan, they messed up the Parademons, and we get them in every set..

Oh you're right! I didn't see the one in the ground with the Knightcrawler.

Also I've seen some people calling the Batmobile an upgrade  Let's be honest - it's definitely a downgrade.

It really looks the SW's hair for me, also the color is the same. But I don't know probably I'm wrong. 

Yea, that could've been the best choice. 

It's not her hair but Thorin's would have been a better choice instead of a new hairpiece.

I'll probably get the set and just use the old Batmobile with it. It's also disappointing how we don't get any supporting characters beyond generic armies. Mera would've been easy to throw into the Atlantis set and Gordon/Alfred could've been put in the Flying Fox as a pilot or something, even if it wouldn't be accurate.

Three Mother Boxes: At the foot of the crawler, the pedestal in Atlantis, and Steppenwolf's holding the third.

Aw that's right I totally forgot about Gordon being in the movie  Still though we're getting the Six - not Seven, the big bad of the film and a bunch of his flunkies.

Yeah I'm surprised that we didn't get Mera in the Atlantis set. I think we should've got her instead of one of those Atlantian Guards.

Totally agree with you about the hairpiece! Also welcome to Eurobricks!

Looks like they just "spoiled" Superman's resurrection.

Love those Atlantean guards. I'm also happy that Flash and Aquaman have some color, unlike their dull movie counterparts.

Aside from minifigs, I like nothing, which has been a recurring thing for me with this year's sets. Luckily, that has given me some leeway to go back and get some minifigs that I've kept in my wanted list for years. Also, the big three seem to be rehashes, so I'm actually a little happy that I won't be chasing them down.

Hopefully Mera will be in an Aquaman set. I do think it's amazing that we get so many Parademons! No other villain in a DC or Marvel set has gotten so many warriors to make an army out of. 

[Zilcho]

Lol I had high hopes (idk why) but these sets are bad. Ugly af tbh. I mean I guess if that's what the stuff in the movie looks like they didn't have much room for creativity but still. And yeah, Steppenwolf is not great, way too thin. The minifigs are alright, i suppose? Even then not impressed tbh.

She definitely will. Cant have Mera in an Aquaman set

[The Lupinator]

When Darkside comes in Justice League 2 and when we get those sets. We will be able to have an army of Parademons.  ?

 Are they releasing the JL sets along side with Thor sets in Aug?

[benderisgreat]

Well DC sets this year are just as bad as MCU sets! Aquaman is the only good set in my opinion and even it has a very small builds which don't look like they are ~200 pcs, minifigures are great though.

[deskp]

This is disappointing overall.

Worse superman than we got before.

Inaccurate Aquaman whose torso gets reused on the guards.

Wrong Parademons.

Steppenwolf looks flimsy, do not care or this style off figure.

No boots for Aquaman.

How is Superman worse? He's the same as the one we got before

True but we got that one in the small set. Literally the same. 

[The Lupinator]

Hopefully Steppenwolf looks better in person but I doubt it. 

[SpiderJazz]

Seems there's alot of peeps dissapointed with the JL sets rather than Thor. I get it, minifigs from JL are nice but yea inaccuracies.

Yeah, but this Superman is in the biggest set, so it lacking boots is kind of annoying, especially when there's a high amount of minifigure recycling going on to begin with. If they're going to give us old minifigures, they might as well throw in the boots that already exist.
