Batman (DC Superheroes) 2024 - Rumors & Discussion

We'd be lucky to see more than one polybag in a single wave. Magazine gifts are either recycled figures or polybags. The year is indeed 2024. -

I'd rather see them in a more three dimensional form than stickers. Seeing them makes me want it more. Really need to start planning on where to put it. Jog on. -

Batman (DC Superheroes) 2024 - Rumors & Discussion
RedHoodPug replied to Clone OPatra's topic in LEGO Licensed
No one ever said that you couldn't. I expressed my disdain for it all and have no desire to repeat it, and for a good short while most people respectfully refrained and I am grateful for that. At no point was the word 'allowed' brought in. However I would say that if you want to carry on feel free, just don't be upset when I call it childish and boring or answer your last question with an emphatic 'yes'. -

Of course it's true. Their set development is fuelled by the success of the Marvel films. Marvel is owned by Disney which also owns Star Wars - the biggest IP Lego has by a landslide. Lego clearly has a strong relationship with Disney, stronger than the one they have with Warner, who's big cash cow is Harry Potter. Potter is also incredibly popular. DC is popular but suffered from a rushed and inconsistent film series. Lego balked at making sets when there's one film that breaks $1 billion out of all of them, and many of them flopped. Lego sees far more mileage in the MCU than the DCEU, so they choose to make more sets for it. -

Midgard News reckons shooting will commence this month. There doesn't seem to be any talk of delays regarding the film, but the Penguin show is running behind schedule. Whether that has any bearing on the film or not, I don't know. -
Of that I am fully aware, nor do I hang on the words of social media accounts, I merely felt it interesting that the number one issue with the Mario line was actually addressed.

Along the lines of did someone throw a green shell at you? Be on the lookout out for exciting news. Now the exciting news could be nothing relevant, but they chose to answer to a post about the massive elephant in the Lego Mario room.

Someone commented on Instagram about how Lego won't make Mario minifigures, and Lego's reply was ... interesting.

Objectively none of it is needed, it's a luxury product. There are Lego sets that I would like, this being one of them. I like this set enough that the figures don't bother me that much, especially with it not being the same scale. Similarly while big, well detailed sets as you describe would be desirable to many hardcore fans, it might not be the most profitable to do. -

No. He's voicing an opinion like everyone else. -

This set is stunning. It captures the look of the series brilliantly. The minifigures are what they are, and the amount of stickers is annoying, but that absolutely is Gotham City skyline as seen in B:TAS. The hints and leaks were very specific about how this set would be realised yet I've seen people disappointed that they aren't actual buildings, which is odd to me because they are also complaining about the price of the set. This massive set is really expensive! Make it bigger damnit! -

They go where the money is. They've tried a few themes over the years that they clearly hoped would be winners but ended up failing as a franchise. Marvel is currently on top in terms of media popularity which is why Lego is keeping the line well stocked. Nothing like SW, but not many things seem to be. Things come in waves and I wouldn't be surprised to see people bored of Marvel before long, and with any luck (at least for me, I'm not wishing doom on Marvel here) DC will pick up the ball and run. -

It being a Batcave isn't enough of a selling point for me I'm afraid. The shadow box, the size, the price and the fact it is based on Batman Returns outweighed that. I regret not getting the 1966 Batcave, but this one just doesn't do it for me.
