Darkness Falls Posted January 7, 2007 MAN-BAT! KGBEAST! That's all I have to say. And Man-Bat needs to be a new sculpt, or bigger than normal minifigs. He's the megablocks-kicker. And KGBeast beat Nightwing's megablocks some time ago... he's cool. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

saturncoupe1999 Posted January 10, 2007 Actually, helicopters need more space than people think to take off and land. They certainly don't land completely vertically.Nice pics. Looking forward to buying the sets. 2007 is getting expensive. Actually, as a former member of the U.S.Army I can tell you that helicopters DO take off and land completely vertically, if the pilot so desires. Trust me on this one. The only space that the pilot needs is enough room to clear the main rotor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trust me on this one.The only space that the pilot needs is enough room to clear the main rotor. OK, I freely concede I know little about helicopters. My information comes from a friend who has a PhD in aeronautics and teaches at Cranfield Uni (Britain's only engineering Uni with its own airstrip). He has so many pilot's licences its incredible, and a Probational Black Belt in Kempo Jujitsu (I digress, sorry). He says when the air ambulance is called, many emergency personel fail to establish an appropriate landing location. They have the assumption that the helicopter can land vertically which (according to my friend) can't happen. It takes off and lands at an angle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wobo Ihi Posted January 10, 2007 Heehee...those "funny names" are actually silly, semi-lame villains made up for the 60's Batman TV show :-D Some more: King Tut (and his lovely assistant Clea Patrick), Shane (old west outlaw type), Louie The Lilac, The Siren, Chandelle, Ma Parker... I loved that show!!! We need a Ultimate Collectors' Edition 1966 Batmobile... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zaktan of the Shadows Posted January 11, 2007 The Batcopter is okay, but the sycthe that Scarecrow has looks like a broom. Nice battank though! Looks like a nice set! -ZotS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Brick Rat Posted January 11, 2007 The Toywiz site has the names of these two sets listed for summer release: 7786 Batcopter: Chase for the Scarecrow 7787 Bat Tank: Riddler and Bane's Hideout (guess that should settle who the third minifig is :-) ). Just a few thoughts on these sets: The batcopter looks decent and seems an obvious choice for a set, but the Scarecrow in a Biplane struck me as odd until someone mentioned a crop duster. I like the idea of Scarecrow flying over Gotham 'dusting' the city with his fear gas. The Bat Tank also looks good, but shouldn't it have a battering ram in front - breaking through barriers directly with your tank treads doesn't strike me as a good idea. The hideout looks o.k. My favorite part is the large section to the left. There appears to be a large printing machine with money laying about. Looks like Riddler and Bane are in the counterfeiting business. The best part of the set for me is the Bane minifig. I can't tell if he's on some sort of weapons trike or a heavily armed motorcyle with sidecar. My biggest question now is - is that it? It was reported here on Eurobricks that there would be 4 new Batman sets this year, but the dealers catalog and Toywiz both list only these two sets. I'll be bummed if we only get 2 sets and one new villian for 2007. I guess we'll find out in February with the NY Toyfair. Ken P.S. First post - hey everyone.

pianodude2494 Posted January 12, 2007 Hmmm...a tank sounds pretty interesting. Although, I wish they would bring out a few more villain vehicles; Batman seems to be getting all the attention as far as rides go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
