I mean, I wouldn’t be surprised if the team that decides what sets get made and the team that decides how to hand out sdcc minifigures aren’t one and the same.

Well, there was that time they took off the Genie’s earring for the Skrull headpiece.

Someone listed the set on eBay. The back of the box does indeed show the set with some nice graphics, pretty basic stuff.

A lot about this set feels more like a collectors item than a play set, like the box art, the seeming lack of play features, the detailed environment and the flight stand for Wonder Woman. I gotta say I dig it. Also, I throw away the boxes so I don’t really care, but I imagine there’s more traditional art on the back?

It kinda seems that way, but honestly I can’t think of many figures like that recently. A couple civilians, maybe. Not to mention it’s not really a new phenomenon, they were reusing heads already back in 2012.

Don’t think so. He seems to be based on this jet trooper from Battlefront II.

It still doesn’t register as a lot to me, and I still don’t see how $1 crosses it over from “pretty expensive” to “insane”. But again, that’s just me. It’s just a matter of opinion.

$5 vs $4 just doesn’t seem like a huge difference to me. I can’t really see what the big deal is, but that’s just me.

I really like this series. Some really good variants, like DKR Joker, which I’m SHOCKED we’re getting. A good amount of new characters (none of which are really THAT obscure, not that I’d mind). Some great prints, dual molding, and new molds. As far as the price increase goes, eh, it’s a dollar.

Ah, but then you wouldn’t be able to have him throwing his hat!

Because it is a costume. The original Cheetah wasn’t mutated.

That’s not necessarily true. As we’ve seen with the Thor Ragnarok sets, Lego seems to use earlier concept art then some other companies. It wouldn’t surprise me at all if the Mysterio we got is completely accurate to some concept art they were given. Even with the inaccuracies, it’s a pretty decent figure.

I could see them revisiting Jurassic Park with a Visitors Center once the next movie comes out. In the meantime, I like this set well enough. I’m just happy to see another Jurassic Park set after the last one. I can’t help but feel that if we had no idea this set was coming before it was announced (like Lego plans), then there would have been a warmer reaction. Oh well.

The minifgure pack is now up in the US for anyone interested.

That’s odd. I don’t seem to be having that issue.
