SoupOrFishOil Posted September 7, 2011 back printing eh? nice. as I said in the other thread, that fig is just a SDCC promo Preview fig. Not Limited or Special edition. Preview editions means a sneak peak of whats to come, i.e. he will be in at least one set, maybe the large batcave or possibly TDKR film sets. I wouldn't worry about it, I am very optimistic we will see that fig in the sets. The latter is more probable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CMP Posted September 7, 2011 I'm curious as to why people still think the Batcave will be a large set. Common sense? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SoupOrFishOil Posted September 7, 2011 Common sense? Maybe not common sense, but it would make the most sense as the largest set from what was on the Rumor List, not that names like Batman vs. Two-Face give much insight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aanchir Posted September 7, 2011 I don't think we can assume the Batcave is the largest set. True, it's a large location in the story. But by that logic, the Forbidden Forest set would have been far larger than the Hogwarts set, which it wasn't (and I'm grateful for that; a full forest would have been painfully boring and even more painfully expensive). Really, it would be entirely possible for the Batcave to be the size of the Captain's Cabin, and just have a big computer console and a place for Bruce Wayne to change into the batsuit. Alternatively, it could be a moderately-sized set with a full-sized vehicle in addition to the aforementioned content. There's no reason it would need to be a huge set like the previous Batcave, especially since I personally felt some of the vehicles in that set were a bit superfluous.

Piranha Posted September 7, 2011 Sorry for the misunderstanding of my post, I was merely giving examples such as the previous Batman line where he had different suits in different sets. I would assume the Batcave to be large but that isn't guaranteed like Aanchir stated. I don't think we can assume the Batcave is the largest set. True, it's a large location in the story.

Blondie-Wan Posted September 8, 2011 Common sense? Perhaps, but a) we already know the combined estimated retail value of this set plus a t-shirt and a copy of the videogame is supposed to be about $50, and b) the rumored set list gives this set the lowest set number of the wave, which tends to be associated with the smallest set in a wave (not always, granted, as the first wave of Toy Story sets shows with Army Men on Patrol, but it's usually the case). While it's true the Batcave could make for a large, "flagship"-type set (and indeed, already has), one could also easily associate large sets with names like "Mos Eisley Cantina" or "Echo Base" (to use a couple examples from another licensed theme), but look at the sets that actually got those names. There's no reason a "Batcave" set has to be the whole Batcave; it could easily be a few consoles, or a vehicle and some equipment, as has been suggested. But I certainly could be wrong. I guess we'll know soon enough... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, however there were several discrepancies with the website, so I think we came to the consesus that we could not make any accurate assumptions of the info we were given. On another note, it seems as though the first January pics have started popping up; SW and CM being the first (clicky) user Bane has said that they have more pictures and that we will have to watch the photostream and wait patiently .

pjonze Posted September 8, 2011 I saw rumours on a LEGO blog of Lego bringing out a blind-bagged series of DC minifigures. Anybody think there's any likelyhood of this? There'd be a nice crossover market - LEGO + comic collectors and it'd be a nice way to get a figure like Flash or Green Lantern out that wouldn't quite fit in the already mentioned DC sets... Not that I don't expect more sets to follow - it'd be foolish of Lego to have a license for Superman and utilise it fully when there's a movie due out.

LandShark Posted September 8, 2011 You'll see some Super Heroes pictures very soon. Stay tuned ;) Greetings -Bane I'm going to be checking that every 5 minutes, now. Although I can't wait for pictures, we should really consider ourselves lucky that we got those minifig' photos way back at Comic-Con. It has given us a really long wait, though (and still over 3 months to go). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TLG doesn't do sets cheaper than 10€ for licensed themes, so I think this is utopic. And they would shoot themselves in the foot if they would sell figs that are available in larger sets as single minifigs as well. It just wouldn't work. And I'm dying to see some pics.
