This forum seems very buggy, often repeating the same things over and over and over... Some news to cheer the disillusioned up; since the update, Supergirl won't change into Red Lantern, meaning she is just Superman without 'Freeze Breath'. As I'm in UK, I'm waiting for my preordered year 2 stuff to arrive from scAmazon and have only used her in year 1 content so far, so I don't know if it will be accessible in the new stuff. If not, I hope they fix it before wave 7 and not wait, like they did with some wave 1 issues last year...

UK Marceline Fun Pack update: she is available in November with the rest of wave 7.0, but only from Argos at the moment. So some good news for Adventure Time fans!!

There is an interview on eurogamer from July with Jimmy McLoughlin, game director. He says; "We re not planning on revisiting any of the season one IPs yet," he tells me. "This isn't to say that it's totally off the cards though as a few of them do interest us and could easily be revisited in the future. We have great relations between the IP holders and Lego so bringing new characters from older ranges shouldn't be an issue. "[That said], we will be using the TARDIS to get to new areas in season two. I don't think we've designed them yet as they are for later levels, but we're planning on doing at least two. And two DeLorean spots as well."

They are calling this wave 7.5 on Twitter and it looks like Marceline will be released from her TRU exclusive at the same time. Maybe no January wave this time round?

We may not be getting a wave 10. They reffered only to waves 6-9 on Twitter 6 days ago when promoting the new battle arenas. The new PS4 Supergirl SP is just the old SP with a little sticker on and a bagged up Supergirl chucked in. Even the poster that comes in the box is the same as year one. There is no reference to year 2 stuff at all!

Well they still need to promote their new product, regardless of what the public may or may not think. Currently, Amazon UK has the PS4 starter pack for £45 and the Supergirl exclusive SP is £80. It's a big cash difference for the privilege of owning her and any new customers would be much better off getting the first SP and spending the remainder on extra packs.

I agree, but she is currently a TRU exclusive in the US and not available for pre-order in any other country. Last year, Jay was the TRU US exclusive, but he was available everywhere else in wave 1. So they are treating Marceline a little differently. This time last year we knew who would be released and in what wave. This year is different as we only know wave 6 & 7 at the moment. So I'm confident that Marceline will become available for the rest of the world in a future wave that hasn't been announced yet.

As far as I can tell, Marceline is available only in the US and only in TRU.

The whole idea of LEGO City:Undercover is that Chase adopts different disguises to go 'Undercover' and investigate Rex Furys crime wave. If Chase can't adopt different disguises then he can't go 'Undercover', and LD would include LEGO City:Uniformed Cop, Just Doing His Job. To not include Chases disguise swapping would be like Ghostbusters without busting ghosts or a DeLorean that can't time travel...

From Gremlins 2; "We got something for you to look at. It's interesting. I found it downtown on my specimen scout. It's some sort of rodent, apparently. And it seems allergic to bright light." Allergic reactions in people can be fatal and as that's the only thing approximating an explanation for bright light aversion,it's quoted here. So, yes, I have seen Gremlins. Both of it.

The 3 rules for keeping Mogwai are; 1. Don't get it wet- this will cause the Mogwai to spawn other Mogwai 2. Don't feed it after midnight - this causes a Mogwai to transform into a Gremlin. 3. Keep away from bright lights- this hurts a Mogwai. (It is suggested that light aversion is an allergy.) So they only have to worry about getting a Mogwai wet as there is no time or food in LD really. Superman laser would do nothing but hurt Gizmo.

Because Netflix have to pay and TV show makers sell the rights for limited periods. Netflix either didn't renew for economic reasons or weren't given the chance, because rights were sold to rivals.

As I remember it, we knew what all the franchises were by about April! E3 showed us gameplay for the first time with bits of 'Follow the LEGO brick road','GLaD to see you' and 'mystery mansion mash up' being playable for press coverage. The interactive nature of the Toy Pad was also revealed. Doctor Who content and the Adventure Worlds were revealed at SDCC in July with the Oz AW being showcased. So they may do something similar this time round, with Sonic being the main focus at E3 (assuming the rumours are true!) and SDCC going for new DC or TTG (speculated!!) content.

The Angry Birds thing has been on Wikipedia for months, but there's never been anything said, other than that. But it does seem as safe bet to be included.

We know the database isn't fully updated because the last 3 announced fun packs aren't shown yet. So why would they start showing pieces for a new 2.0 SP that they haven't announced before packs that they have? Forgive my ignorance of this, but is it normal for LEGO to chuck new bits into sets without changing the set number? Wouldn't this require a huge recall of all the old sets to stop people ordering 71170 with Supergirl from getting 71170 without her in error? Wouldn't they just give it a new set number?

Or maybe it has? Due course...

Well, not kiddy excitement factor, but a skill laden extra piece, covering lots of abilities, might encourage new customers to give it a shot if they think it will make it a cheaper, or better value, experience. You still see lots of people on forums, twitter, etc. expressing an interest but are put off by the cost, so convincing "non-believers" to join the party is a must for the game to grow in phase 2. There aren't any rumours about a new Starter Pack that I've heard anywhere, just a lot of wishful thinking and 2+2=5 type stuff. Why are both Playstation SP's showing the Supergirl bits, but Xbox and Wii U aren't if it's a new 2.0?

And they are in 71171 but not 71172/3/4. Could be a PS exclusive addition to the existing Starter Pack to boost sales between phases?

Which is why the New 3DS has the NFC gubbins behind the touch screen for Amiibos. Wouldn't be as portable if you have to take a 4 times the size pad/portal with you... But they could make it so that the LD stuff is readable by the New 3DS in a standalone LD Nintendo exclusive. I'd buy it!

I rarely use any vehicles unless it's necessary, 'Docking' for example. If I can crack a flying race with Wonder Woman, why bother with a vehicle? I do hope that as LD develops that there will be more opportunity to use them in game...specific challenges for specific vehicles maybe? What is desperately needed for them are multi-player head to head Mario Kart type races, in my opinion.

I think we get two Batmans because they are in The LEGO Movie and they meet in that. The different versions of the Ninjago characters don't meet in TLM so only the LD version appears.

Batman vs. Superman is getting an 'R' rated Ultimate Edition and they aren't shying away from publicising LD on the back of its PG-13 rating release. I also don't think they'd restrict use of any DC character because of a relatively minor pay to watch TV series, this is the LEGO DC universe which is mostly based on the comicbooks, after all. If normal(should I say 'proper'??) LEGO has Green Arrow and Supergirl, I think it would be judged OK in LD or other LEGO DC games.

Assuming (for now) that these photo's are real, I wonder if this is anything to do with the 'missing' expansion pack numbers? All of the packs run in sequence from 71201 to 71241 apart from 71208 and 71224 to 71226 which don't appear. Could be that these were planned characters but they were pulled for some reason?

After my earlier moaning, I was really rather impressed with Midway and how the retro-games are used to progress through the level. The goals are set at just the right place to give you a good experience of the games without having to spend too much time trying to reach them. The Sprint games are a bit of a bind and I'd forgotten just how bad 80's gaming sounded, compared to today's effects. I started playing with it pumped through surround sound and Defender really freaked my cat, which was amusing! The actual level is a bit bland, which is a shame, and the closing shot of the devastated city and the escaped video game characters got me really excited, but then "cut" and it was back to Vortron. I'd still rate it as better than BttF. Kid Gamer is a great character and his cola drinking abilities are brilliant. I road tested Superman in a flying tour around the Adventure World and it looks amazing! But I've been busy with Twilight Princess (HD, no less and which I'm loving, again!) so LD has gone on the back burner for now.

Nah, I like the enigma! Just got home from work and playing the Midway level...game crashes on Wii U.I'd forgotten how buggy this game can be. Still, I'm waiting for a price drop before getting another SP for PS4 and hopefully, that'll be better.
