I'm definitely all for the Patronus set. Hands down a great one; Harry Potter sets always had good small builds. As good as these sets are, there are some WEIRD problems that just don't work. I know everyone's already been commenting on them, but that Horntail's head is an abomination. Weird that the new brick build would be so much worse than a nearly solid, non-posable mold from FOURTEEN years ago. And the normal gold goblet with an unscaled blue flame looks a tad odd for what they were trying to adapt.

Ooh, that's a must-have. Dementors here I come!

Guys! Good update, and one I've not seen mentioned on here: several Lego Movie 2 characters have been updated into the game: Batman, Alfred, Harley Quinn, and Green Lantern all have their unique looks from Apocalypseburg in the game now. Not even as a character pack, they're simply in the game now! I'm on PS4, and if anyone else can confirm other consoles, that would be awesome.

So, has anyone EVER figured out how to make the character customizer behave? I still can't get energy blasts to shoot from Flashpoint Batman's guns. Either it shoots from his hands or it doesn't shoot at all. EDIT: I finally figured out a decent enough solution. You can't have custom bolts on the guns if you want them to fire. Leave no ability on the Tap Square option and they'll at least fire regular, non-customizable bullets.

As long as Rogue One gets some love (at LEAST with playable characters) I'll be happy. And I'm not so sure I want more procedurally generated worlds like Lego Worlds again; I found it to be too aimless, and buggy, to enjoy it for very long. And with TLM2's game going that same route, now I'm not as interested in it either.

Massive improvement. I think you succeeded in your goal fantastically.

As chance would have it, I did have a few minutes to whip something up.

It's probably unlikely, but since the dilo Nedry met was smaller, it would be cool to see a modified "baby raptor" piece to be the dilo in the set.

By this point, we would have evidence of its existence with all the other sets. Since the only figure that was ever leaked is getting released in a Batman set, all evidence points to no set.

Yes, they're both flat silver.

The more I look at Mr. Freeze's set, the more I like the build. It really does capture the Tumbler look in a fun way. And it's just so impressive that the Mysterio helmet doesn't distort Mr. Freeze's face. I'd still like to see the TLBM piece used again in the future, but I like this style.

I love the Batcave, but that Clayface is garbage. I like how Two-Face uses red for his suit; not entitely accurate (depending on the colorist), but it looks good. Shame it really only has two exclusive figures, between repeats and Bruce’s recycled parts. The Batmobile is decent. I still prefer the earliest we got in the theme, but it’s a nice build. Joker’s great, but I feel like this set needs one more figure. Riddler’s Heist is okay. I’m not a big fan of the rounded Batwing (it looks a little chonky), and Riddler’s heli is just generic looking. Gordon’s squad car is a nice touch though. This one is really more going to be about the figs.

The new Ninjago skeletons (in The Samurai Mech that came out this year) have very stylized skulls, but now fit a "normal" minifigure sized head (and as such, hats and hair). Looking at them, I think the piece would be perfect for a cool, stylized Black Mask.

Oof, those legs are bad. Maybe it's just that particular one, and the lighting, but if it looks like that on all of them, I'm swapping his legs out for some unprinted brown ones.

I always find it amusing how Lego keeps adapting something so macabre in the sets; it's like official Lego Necromancy™!

I really love the civvies Peter. I don't see myself getting the others, but Hydro-Man Attack is a must-have. The Venice build looks wonderful.

Following up on the above (which are all very accurate statements), B:tAS, as a level, is very stylized, and the boss fights both felt fun. However, this feels like it may be the SHORTEST DLC level in any of these games that I'm aware of (the only "smaller" level I can think of is the Batman 75th from LB3, but the amount of time it takes to complete the puzzles across its meager one room took longer than beating this level for me). It truly feels a little too unsubstantial; not only is it two rooms, and about four puzzles total, but you only have to use Phantasm once. My biggest gripe, though, is how excruciatingly obnoxious Lobo's dialogue is. If they had left his voiceover out during the gameplay, it would've only been mildly weird, but he Just. Never. Shuts. Up. Minor note, Batman would look great with an original type-1 cowl (since it was even designed to look like the one from B:tAS), but here it uses the type-2 cowl, which feels like the least accurate of the cowls created. More perplexingly, the promo image uses the type-3 cowl.

I believe it is the same one as the recent Juniors face. I haven't checked, but I don't see them doing a different "scowling Joker" face when they already have one. And yes, I love this version of his face.

Those are entirely reused pieces, so I doubt it's actually a character in one of the upcoming sets. I see Damian is going to be scowling again, which is in character, I admit. I would reeeeeeally love to see him get a more neutral expression this time, though, as we've only ever gotten him with scowls-or-fear.

As many times as we have seen that Joker face now, I can't help but love it. I feel like it's just too perfect for the character to do anything crazy different. That Two-Face is gruesome, in a good way, and I definitely want to see what they have planned for his hair. That's so spitting image Rebirth I have no doubt it'll be a pink suit. Riddler definitely looks very, uh, bright with the full figure. Not a bad design, but the color will take some getting used to. Definitely hoping to see this one juniors and a less "glowstick" version in the normal set.

I quite dig that Harley. The face and hair look waaay better than the Apocalypseburg version, despite going for the same general concept (I know this is more of the recent comics, and that was based off the movie look, but still the same colors). Does anyone know if she only has this torso, or if she gets a non-prison variant as well?

Hands down, best Catwoman we have gotten! I don't know how they're going to ever top this one.

Y’know, the clawed feet look much less egregious on the Baryonix than on the Triceratops.

You and me both. I'm so ready for a proper rerelease of the Hush Batsuit. That's my favorite Bat-symbol he's ever worn. I appreciate your facetious praise. I don't know why they ever decided to take that route, and yet here we are, years separate from the look in Zero Year, and we still have it. His first face since DC Super Heroes launched is still my personal favorite. I stuck the spare from his "fortune teller" machine on his Dragster minifigure, and when we got TLBM, I ordered a third (and another green bowler like he wore the second time). Not entirely unheard of, I guess. Juniors does tend to get different heads, at least; Robin got a smiling version with Damian's green mask the first time, and then an entire unique look on the second Robin. Mr. Freeze's head was quite different (and better) in juniors, although I admit that one did have a bigger time gap from normal release. Then Joker's alt-face was a scowl instead of a smirk. (Batman voice): Sideburns killed my family. I agree that it isn't the worst thing in the world. I especially appreciate the visible eyes. I think the problem is more with the source material than the adaptation here; I consider this, at worst, a completely serviceable design. Don't laugh, I may actually do that, now that you mention it...

Maybe. It's not really accurate or the right color for the comics version, but it still could look good on her. Someone will have to try it when he gets released so we can see. As far as that Batman goes, it is interesting to see such a new variation on the same costume that we just got. It reminds me of how different artists will have fairly significant differences (mainly due to style) even when drawing the same suit, and both definitely match up to looks I've seen Batman in post-Rebirth. I think I slightly prefer the previous version, although the new may be more detailed. The goggles present are obviously a big advantage, although I wish Batman was still being printed stubbly, as he's kept a very noticeable stubble for quite a few comics for a while now (possibly popularized by how stubble-tastic he was throughout the Arkham trilogy, as I don't remember artists giving him the beard in-costume often before that).
