I guess I just feel spoiled from this last Spidey wave. There were some great figures AND great builds. Oh well. I'm still waiting for the final images of Ms. Marvel, Iron Man, and Cap to determine if I'm getting anything at all from the Marvel line this coming wave.

Well, @LegoShroom lives in the UK, so I guess he might've misinterpreted? @BrickHat lives in Space, though, and I have no idea what their exchange rate is.

Oh wow. And here I was thinking it was obvious that it wasn't him, ever since the first audio clip we heard. Maybe it's just me, but I don't even think he sounds as good as Jordan Peele, from Key and Peele. (Now that I'm thinking about it, I think I would have kind of super-loved that if Peele HAD done the voice.) Though it's entirely possible my memory of Mr. T.'s actual voice has been supplanted by false memories of a more parodic voice. I haven't seen that show in AGES. Dang. I can see how you could feel that way, and I'll even concede your points, but I still enjoyed the heck out of it. Are you looking forward to Season 2?

@CM4Sci Ah, well that was easy :) Thanks!

Wow, I'm just dumb. I read Batman and thought Dr. Strange, somehow. On the DC thread. What's the emoticon to hang your head in shame? And while we're at it, how do you tag people?

Hm. Everything I've heard says Target exclusive, and that's where I got mine. And they had more on the shelves there today when I went to pick up some Dimensions stuff. Not sure if Alpinemaps misspoke, or is misinformed, or if maybe Walmart has it as well, but it's definitely available at Target. And LEGO Shop@Home.

Naaaaah. If that were a hint, I'd hope for some capitalization of that "Q". Seemed like a simple statement, not a riddle, but I'm not AB, so who knows. But Sir Gareth pretty clearly denied the Question when asked about it recently, due to his super-sweet profile picture.

What system are you on? I saw some video of someone teleporting, rather than using the launcher, so I thought they changed it. But when I went back for myself yesterday, it was still the launcher. I'm on XB1. Wonder if that matters? (I also don't OWN any of the new content yet either...but I can't see that making a difference.)

Wonderful

You were able to download successfully after purchasing the new content though, right? I assume the option would be enabled once I added them to the game pad. I haven't gotten anything new, just trying to use Stay-Puft or Venkman or Slimer. Too bad that's a glitch too. Thanks for the heads up though!

Yeah, that doesn't really seem to work for me either, Krulis. Under the download content area, it just gives suggestions, without the option to actually D/L anything. I'm betting you have to buy the GB2016 story pack before you can D/L the level and adventure world, but THEN Venkman/Slimer/Stay-Puft can access it. If true, that's kind of a bummer. Also, I've never had any glitchiness issues on XB1 before, but since yesterday.....DAMN, this thing is buggy as hell. I'm trying to unlock all of the arcade games for the Midway adventure world, and EVERY TIME I play Vindicators in Riddle-Earth, when I try to exit and collect the studs (thus unlocking it in adventure world) the game crashes. This has happened 8 times now. I moved on and unlocked every other arcade, then came back to Riddle-Earth, CRASHED AGAIN. Insert string of expletives.

Ug, now I'M the guy who can't find the damn pictures we're talking about. Back to Google.... EDIT: Nevermind I'll save my thoughts until we get better images. But I'm interested.

Got a link for that? I looked for it briefly, but couldn't find it.

Interesting. I'm digging the clean new style, and I look forward to seeing what it looks like once the bugs are fixed. Kudos, guys!

Huh. Well that is interesting indeed! Thanks for clarifying, guys!

Well, yeah. That's obvious too. Thanks, AB. I guess others are liking it, but I'm not feelin' that Hoff minifig. I don't see a resemblance AT ALL. Dunno if I'll get that one. I just wanna hear Mr. Feeny*. *William Daniels, the OG voice of K.I.T.T.

Yeah, you're not really supposed to ask that either. CM4Sci is the one who posted it. The set name is Detroit Steel Strikes. Use Google.

Wait, what?? Why are you saying that? Did I miss something?

The TLBM SDCC exclusive will be Spider-Man. Because.

While I agree with others about this dead horse, the idea of Maggie as a drone is HILARIOUS.

But...but...but...it IS him.

Did you check your Spam folder? But in all seriousness, I'm American and, as required by law, ignorant of various aspects of the outside world. That's one of those things that I forget since it has no immediate impact on my life (barring a lofty discussion on global economics *zzzzz*), and my personal experience is quite limited. TL;DR I dunno who the hell it affects, but it sucks for them. I'm glad it's not me. Yet. ​

If you're talking about the piece I think you are, it doesn't go for too much on BrickLink. Around 30-40 cents it seems. I was surprised when you said it only comes in one set, since I surely don't have any really rare sets or anything, but I looked it up, and yep, just the Research Institute apparently. And I definitely remember tearing that down for this. Ha, you ain't kiddin', brother! I seem to remember paying $5 or so, but looking on BrickLink right now, that seems unlikely. But damn, I don't remember paying *that* much. The same piece was widely available in trans-black in one of the more recent Mixel sets, and I had that piece on there for the longest time. I bought some 4x4 dishes in clear, since they're much cheaper (plus they have a stud to connect a tube to, which most depictions have), but it just didn't look right to me, so eventually I just gave in and bought the trans-clear dome. Not a single regret from me. Maybe that's because I don't remember paying between $8 and $30 for it. Yowzers. Oh yeah, it's ridiculously tight. Any tighter and it simply wouldn't hold together anymore. I went through a number of iterations trying to hit that sweet spot of "as much as possible and not a bit more". It's touching, but not with enough pressure to warp anything. Yep. That positioning is key. And yeah, the greater height possibility was another reason to go for the dome rather than the dish. But again...yowzers. Ah, that would be this It's a relatively new piece that's pretty darn useful. It was released just last year, according to BrickLink. You're more than welcome! I owe you my thanks, as well, for providing me with a reason to get off my butt and share this thing with someone! I'd definitely love to see your take on it once you get past those darn new member restrictions.

Have you seen baby Groot? Any info on how he's made? (One new mold, new head mold on baby body, etc) I figure you would've told us if you knew, but it can't hurt to ask! As for Mr. Fantastic, I really don't think it has anything to do with securing the license. They have access to Marvel's entire character catalogue. They just....haven't. Cuz they're evil, I guess?
