    DC Superheroes 2017 - Set Discussion

    I'm late to the party on this, but I have created a separate thread for Lego BrickHeadz, as it is a unique sub-theme of greater Licensed. Due to the close relationship of properties--being that BrickHeadz currently encompasses DC and Marvel, you may continue to discuss the theme in either their associated Superhero threads or the specific BrickHeadz thread itself. Do note however that all set information on the BrickHeadz theme will now be exclusively posted in said designated thread, and not in their associated Superhero threads which was previously the case. Thanks everyone!

    I'm just gonna drop this in here again, since everyone "missed" it: Follow this directive please, everyone. I won't repeat myself a third time.

    Closest/alternate color of Pearl Gold

    Dark Tan is perhaps closest, although it doesn't have a "metal" shine to it unfortunately. It is often used officially by Lego in conjunction with small Pearl Gold pieces to form a single "gold" structure. The Disney Castle for instance uses both shades for the golden top of its main tower--it uses Dark Tan for the "filler" pieces that Pearl Gold does not come in. Regrettably Lego doesn't make chrome in general anymore (and even if they did, it would cost a fortune to build with them), and while they use Pearl Gold more frequently now than in the past, there are still not that many types of bricks in that color, which is just as important when you're trying to build something yourself. Dark Tan however comes in a number of useful pieces, so I'd say that's the best alternative--plus it'll pop against black.

    The LEGO Batman Movie Set/CMF Rumors & Discussion

    Last I checked this was not a "list a character" thread. Talk here about the movie SETS and associated PHYSICAL minifigures ONLY. Please do not list off every character in every background of every screenshot you can see. Unless said characters are actually physical minifigures, please do not discuss them here--speculating (and/or just listing names) for characters causes nothing but confusion later on, when readers come by and then assume we'll get said character(s) because someone is listing all these names, acting like they're sure things. Nope! If you wish to talk about characters, plots, etc. about the movie, please do so in the appropriate movie discussion thread, not here. That way we can try and curb spoilers to designated areas, where they can be openly discussed. Thanks!

    Doctor Who General Discussion

    Again, no, there is no indication that we will be getting anymore Dr. Who sets. Just because you think it would be stupid not to make new sets, does not mean new sets will materialize just to appease you. Until said time that actually does happen, I think this thread could use some rest.

    Doctor Who General Discussion

    Every license Lego picks up has "plenty that could be done." But, as clearly indicated by the Ideas submission standards, sets released by Ideas are not intended to launch waves (nor should they be advertised as such--that's why Ideas rejects "theme" submissions). The fact that we got more Ghostbusters sets is no indication that we'll get more Dr. Who sets. And as Blueberrywaffles noted, the new GB movie undoubtedly had a huge impact on those additional sets being released. If anything we already got a number of satisfactory figs and such through Dimensions, so I consider the Dr. Who theme luckier than most. But as there's not even one tiny sliver of hopeful substantiated rumor that we'll be getting more, I don't see why we need to be speculating about future releases.

    Star Wars Rebels

    I thought on the whole, it was a fine episode--but it was brought down by a bit of inconsistencies and cringe worthy dialogue from you know who. The episode did look spectacular however, so that was a great plus. But anyways here are my thoughts on Saw (spoil tagged in the interest of R1 spoilers). On non Saw stuff: Ezra was the worst part of this episode, what with his childish naming of Klick-Klack. I cringed and looked away every time they mentioned that name, which was frequent. As pointed out in a review from the AV Club (who write great in-depth reviews on practically everything), the moral superiority of Ezra and crew is starting to annoy me. Saw was not in the wrong to want to interrogate Klick-Klack. Ezra saying how they need to do everything the "right" and compassionate way while forcing troopers to commit suicide (which happened this season if we remember!) is very disingenuous. On the flip side, Sabine was arguably the best individual of the episode, what with her sweet jetpack action. The Rocket Troopers were incredibly awesome too, if anything because they recalled the more effective and deadly troopers in Rogue One. They were even smart enough to take the high ground! On the other characters though, I wish Zeb wasn't seemingly pushed to the sidelines so much this season. When Hera splits the team up, it's the Kanan, Ezra, Chopper and Rex show yet again. We need to put our only two Jedi on the same team again? Sabine gets some sweet action shots as always, but Zeb yet again gets shuffled to the sidelines being practically nonexistent. There are so many "guest" characters being brought in now that the main crew is getting overshadowed I think. I'm calling absolute BS on the Ghost not getting hit by even one boulder. The absolute best part of the episode in my opinion however, and perhaps one of my favorite things ever on Star Wars Rebels, was the female (!) Imperial captain smacking the Imperial officer (who gives Kallus a run for his money in the sideburns department ) on the back of his head, sending his hat spinning around his head! Rebels excels at the really small yet simple inclusions of "background" animations and this is easily the best one yet. Absolute hilarious!

    Aurthur Parsons confirmed a few months ago now that we will be getting all three Powerpuff Girls as physical minifigures actually, and they they would have (a least) Lantern powers.

    The LEGO Batman Movie Set/CMF Rumors & Discussion

    Guys stop asking members to post pictures please--no one is required to take pictures of new things and post them here, let alone tell anyone about them in the first place--it's their prerogative to disclose information they obtain (just as with members who hold leaked info). Be happy with what we have now. Thanks!

    Guys play nice. I don't want to have to close this thread for the day because of infighting. If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say nothin at all.

    Disney Collectible Minifigures 2 Rumors and Discussions

    I agree. Let's wait until mid-2017 at least before we start focusing on these unconfirmed figures...

    The LEGO Batman Movie Set/CMF Rumors & Discussion

    Because this is not an "anything" thread! As I've said time and time again, bring your movie talk over to the appropriate areas. There are many silent members who wish to browse this thread for set discussions and not have their correlating film experience spoiled by trailer parsing. This is a Lego Set Discussion thread. Talk about the sets only.

    LEGO Dimensions Discussion

    Everyone please take the Steven Universe/Ben 10/South Park/etc. talk over to the Lego Dimensions Wishlist thread. As we are not getting any of these licenses specifically, they should not be discussed here. This thread is for official Lego Dimensions discussion only. Thanks!

    The LEGO Batman Movie Set/CMF Rumors & Discussion

    That's just a knock-off of a third-party piece from Brickwarriors. It's also something that Lego would most likely never produce themselves, as they consider the torso/arm/hand connection to be one "piece" and you would have to remove the minifigure hand to add such an accessory.

    Rogue One movie discussion thread

    I saw the film on Saturday morning, and it was (not?) surprisingly packed--and oh what a stunning film it was! I was admittedly shocked too when the credits started to roll and the theater started clapping, but it was truly a special film I think. The perfect balance of new and old. I loved TFA, which also did that, but this film takes the cake I think. It was utterly intense, gritty, and very unexpected, which is saying a lot considering it runs right into Episode 4. On more specifics:

    The Batman CMF showed up at my local Target in Rockford, Illinois. So they're out there--good hunting everyone!

    Let's not freak out over that polybag price please. That photo is clearly from a location that has...above average...pricing in comparison to other parts of the world. Talk about the sets! Thanks!

    This is not an official picture... It's obvious that she will come with a wand, just like every other HP-Universe Dimensions character.

    LEGO Dimensions Discussion

    I'm of the opinion that a casual clothes Hermione is far more interesting than a school uniform version. At least we are getting something new with this, whereas anyone who already collects/collected HP Lego would already have half a dozen identical Harry uniforms that could be easily swapped in. -- I hope we see some PowerPuff Girls figures soon, as I'm more excited for that license than anything in Year 2 (well maybe Adventure Time). I do think they will translate rather well to minifigure form actually, as they were always depicted in a rather simple abstract form, at least in body type--which is something that would lend itself far better to Lego than the lanky characters often being attempted. Granted I wouldn't mind Dimensions depicting them and their open world more after the original show than whatever that new "show" is. Also Mojo Jojo--it would be wonderful to get him, although four figures from one new license is rather stretching it...AT did set a recent precedent however.

    Stop the sexism discussion please. This is not the thread, forum, nor site for that kind of debate.

    The LEGO Batman Movie Set/CMF Rumors & Discussion

    Licensed Folks Please Read This: This is getting too off topic. While this is a "Lego Batman Movie" thread, this is specifically a set discussion thread. We are all excited about the new trailer, but the discussion here should be, to the best of one's abilities, on the sets themselves and not on the film itself. In that vein, I would prefer it if we could avoid parsing out screenshots to deduce what sets and minifigures we'll possibly get down the line. As a Lego movie, there are frankly endless possibilities as to what could end up making the transition from screen to actual Lego set, which makes this whole parsing discussion rather futile. So for instance--Gentleman Ghost--is in the movie and I see his name being constantly thrown around as an "upcoming future" minifigure. Yet, we have no indication that we'll get a physical version of said character at this time, and as such I would prefer it if we did not constantly bring him up in conversation (or any other "limbo" character) as if we are just waiting to see him show up on some box art. It only causes confusion later on when people read tons of names being thrown out here and then expect to get physical versions of those non-existent characters. This thread is for set discussion; as many people (including myself) also wish to talk about the movie itself too, I would now like to direct you to the appropriate The Lego Batman Movie thread. You can openly discuss the film there--but here, this thread is specifically for the sets themselves. --- Additionally, and finally, as this is also a film and we are edging closer to the release date, please be respectful of spoilers for other readers. Although this is a Lego movie and as such its spoilers would most likely be less Earth shattering than those of say, an MCU film, please remember that many members here would rather not stumble across plot points and surprise cameos in the set discussion thread. Utilize Spoiler Tags if you must, or better yet take the spoilery conversation over to the TLBM thread. Thanks everyone!
