Sorry for the off-topic post, but when will the summer wave be available? June 1st?

I've got a thing for big figs lately and the Bane fig interests me.

Yeah, the release date is June 1st. The Bane figure is amazing and I like his truck, but I'll be waiting for the set to go down to around $30 before I buy it.

  • Joker Balloon Escape: Great value imo
  • Catwoman Catcycle Chase: Nice figures but they're mostly reused from other sets and final model is small for $20
  • Scarecrow Special Delivery: Uninspired figures and build is too small for $20
  • Mr Freeze Ice Attack: Builds are a bit better but half the set is lame (Gotham Energy Facility part) which makes the set have poor value
  • Penguin Artic Roller: Way too small for $30
  • Riddler's Riddle Racer: The car is pretty bland, villains are nothing special apart from the Riddler. Too small for $30
  • Clayface Splat Attack: Better value than other $30 sets but only 2 minifigures included (1 is the regular Batman) also weakens it on the value front
  • Joker Notorious Lowrider: Really overpriced. Such a shame
  • Batmobile: Okay, this has great value.
  • Tail-Gator: Really overpriced. Even with Croc on top of the truck the set doesn't seem worth the $70 price tag
  • Scuttler: Box art makes it seem quite large but final model is a little bit skinny for the price.
  • Batcave: The size is okay for $100 but the cave itself is rather lacklustre
  • Arkham: Good value.

Great analysis...   But i would argue that 4 exclusive villains make the Riddler's riddle racer worth the 30$!     And I was Pleasently surprises by the Mr. Freeze mech!    Buy otherwise, I think you are right on!     

On the other hand, A lot lot of those minifigs made me gladly spent my money!   :laugh:

I saw them too. I haven't found any other LBM polybags, which is a shame since I really want more.

The mini batmobile has been at my local Wal-Mart for about a month now. Just got the mini batwing this week at the local Target.

Same experience for me. I got my batmobile out of sheer luck: I found about 3 polybags in one of my local Walmarts, and it wasn't the one I usually go to. They also had a lot of the Joker target practice polybags.

All of the Summer wave sets are available now in Smyth's Toy stores in the UK...
I picked up Twoface (£49.99) and Scarecrow (£11.99) set from a store in Northern Ireland and returned them to my local store in England for a refund when I got home after finding Toys' R Us sent me a 20% coupon for my Birthday while I was away...
Although they currently don't stock them so have to impatiently wait >.<

Picked up the Scarecrow Fearful Face-off from the TRU pop-up store in Cardiff today! They had the whole summer wave, but I'm gonna wait till the £50 sets become £37 on Amazon in a month or so. Really love the build, for such a small set they really do something impressive. Somehow both £11.99 sets are some of the best from the theme!

WTF? That's not cool... 

Fingers crossed it's just an error that's fixed before it goes on sale!

From sources such as Brickseek, it would seem that 70917 is priced at $129.99 officially, though it is increased for whatever reason. But, it also seems that Walmart is selling it for MSRP, according to Brickseek and a Reddit post.

Here's a Bane Toxic Truck attack review for those interested.

Jang's review of the Ultimate Batmobile made me want it even more. I didn't notice the dots that wrap around Polka-Dot Man's legs or the Satyr legs on the Flying Monkeys! And the separated models are surprisingly attractive for what they are.

There are only a couple things I dislike about the set. I don't like the huge hole left after Robin's bike ejects, but that isn't a big deal. The other thing I dislike is that the Bat-Tank is huge and awesome, but only has room for a single figure. I think the back could've been done in a way that allowed more figures to sit in it, but it's easily modded. Overall, the set is amazing and I adore the amount of detail on it.

The only problem I have with the Ultimate Batmobile is that I think they should have included new Batman villains instead of the Wicked Witch of the West and two Flying Monkeys. Whilst they are great figures, I think that there was loads of better villains that we could have gotten from the movie.

Exactly, and Gentleman Ghost and others

I think figures like that should've been added to sets like Bane's Toxic Truck or The Batwing. 

I actually just picked up the Batmobile at Wal-Mart! It was $129 there. I'll probably be building it later tonight, so anyone let me know if you'd like pictures of anything!

Yeah, I was watching a review of those sets and thought it was a missed opportunity not to add new villains, especially given that the Toxic Truck and Batwing only have 3 figures each.

Well, they have to save some villains for the third wave :wink:
