  1. If we continue getting more waves, I wonder if LEGO would continue sticking to remakes of scenes we got sets of in 2008-2009, or if they'll throw in some stuff we haven't gotten before.  I'd like to see KOTCS get something if this revival of the theme lasts more than two waves.  An updated version of Temple of the Crystal Skull or the Jungle Cutter would be neat to see.


  2. The Idol Temple looks like pretty much the definitive set to get from this wave, but the other two look like a good value as well.  Given that the Temple of Doom looked like it had the most room for improvement in terms of design and structure compared to the other sets, it being delayed to be revamped makes the most sense based on what we know.  I feel like LEGO wouldn't let the set be acknowledged at all if it was definitively canceled entirely.  


  3. I wonder if any minifigures included in the Batcave would have been intended to be featured in LEGO Batman 4 (at least before it was put on hold in favor of Harry Potter).  I'm not sure what the exact timeline for overlap would have been, but I'm assuming the Batcave, as a large D2C, would have started development around 2020.

    If they bring back the 2021 bigfig design, Bane makes the most sense to use it for.  I feel like people have been asking for a bigfig comic Bane for at least most of a decade now, and he wouldn't need any new molded parts (Killer Croc could technically be done without new molds too, but would be missing the molded back ridges of the 2016 bigfig, I feel like more people would prefer a minifigure of Clayface, who could be done well with the Vidiyo slime head, Solomon Grundy would need a new big hairpiece, and King Shark would need a new head.)  I've speculated that the studs on the back of the 2021 bigfig mold likely could have specifically been added with Bane in mind, especially if the Batcave was already in early development by then.

    Brick clicker is gonna reveal some “super” rumors tomorrow. Hoping it’s dc news about the Flash set and the cave!

    I would certainly hope we get something on the Batcave.  Wasn't it around March two years ago that we started gradually getting hints on who was going to be included in the Daily Bugle?


  4. Considering the Flash set essentially must have Keaton Batman and the Flash at minimum, if we get a third figure (which would break the pattern set by four different Batmobile sets with two minifigures included that were released since 2019), I'd be very surprised if it wasn't Supergirl.  If it's Zod, he'd probably be a downgrade from the 2013 version, as I doubt he'd get leg printing this time, and they probably wouldn't bring back the specialized armor pieces after last getting them an entire decade ago.

    The Batcave has way more unknown variables in play for the minifigure selection, which is why I'm so eager to start getting information on it


  5. I went through out of curiosity to see how many villains and Bat-Family members from the 2008 LEGO Batman: The Videogame we haven't gotten as minifigures as of currently.  That list would consist of:

    • Mad Hatter
    • Hush
    • Azrael (can be built in character creator)
    • Spoiler (can be built in character creator)
    • Black Mask (can be built in character creator)

    If we include those who are DS exclusive, there would also be:

    • Mr. Zsasz
    • Ventriloquist

    I'd be pleased if the Batcave can include at least a few of those characters.

    So... you're asking for... riddles?

    Well, that would be fitting.  Maybe not quite as much if it turns out the Riddler isn't included, but still.  It'd be nice to have something to go off of for trying to figure out who gets included, and it doesn't exactly help that we don't even have confirmation which version of the Batcave this is going to be (though at a $450 price, it doesn't make much sense for it to be anything other than a comics version, or maybe a BTAS version)


  7. I wonder if we'll be able to get the gradual line of clues and confirmations of minifigures in the Batcave prior to the official reveal, similar to what was done with the Daily Bugle (that started around when? March?), or if those sort of specific details are being kept under tighter wraps from insiders.  I did think that made things a bit more fun in the lead up to actually seeing the set.

    maybe its a BTAS batcave

    with the skyline thing releasing later reusing some of the figs.

    maybe phantasm will be exclusive to that skyline set

    an animated batmobile and a slew of animated style minifigs would make the price tag more appealing 

    That could actually work well, considering I'm pretty sure that Batcave retained a lot of the iconic stuff like the giant penny, T-Rex, and giant Joker card in its trophy room.  Plus there would still be potential for getting Mad Hatter, Ventriloquist, black and white suit Two-Face, and minifigure Clayface in such a set.  The main weakness would be that a BTAS Batcave wouldn't really be able to include any new Bat-Family members we haven't gotten any version of in the past, as well as ruling out a handful of villains that never appeared in the show, such as Hush or Black Mask.

    That said, if the new prints for skyline minifigures would be using this set's budget, it would essentially require a Rivendell-sized budget to get more than just a couple other minifigures beyond 4-5 of the skyline minifigures.
