7779 The Batman Dragster: Catwoman Pursuit The Figs Good figures. Standard grey Batman and a nice Catwoman. The Motorcycle I loathe this in purple. I loathe this with 'ears.' I loathe this period. My immense loathing for this motorcycle can only be expressed with the word asdklfjaiosfghwioehriowerjiosfgjasklajerio, which is not a word at all. The Dragster The dragster looks like a good concept that got ripped to shreds by the need to have a low price range set. One wing, one giant wedge, and then a few smaller pieces to bring them together. The front wheel. I do actually really like this part; it's pretty clever. Again, only ONE tiny wheel, so getting any use out of this set would really require two copies. The back. Their INGENIOUS firing mechanism totally slays me. It's also difficult to get Batman into the cockpit with his cape. FINAL VERDICT: 6.2/10 Figs: 8/10 Pieces: 4/10 Set: 5/10 Playability: 7/10 I should really hate this set a lot more, but it's a cheap way to get two cool figs (albeit with no accessories save for the whip). Buy this if you want to round out your Batman collection or could use the few pieces. Pretty cheap set, so not a huge loss if you don't like it. Still, the rest are better. Until next time, Bloody Jay

LEGO's policy is basically, they don't produce a weapon or military vehicle that hasn't been around for 100 years or more. The only times they've violated this were with the Sopwith Camel and the Red Baron (WWI, circa 1914), which don't really count. The Batman uzis and tommyguns, for instance, are from the New York gangster era circa. 1900. If you wanted to get REALLY technical, Star Wars does take place a 'long time ago,' of course. ;)

Venom, Sandman, and Hobgoblin have been confirmed, but those photos are indeed fake. We have no actual photo of Venom yet.

Built all of them but the Batwing now... fairly impressed. Extremely impressed with the Batmobile, very interesting construction... disappointed by the Two-Face van and the dragster set (predictably). Batboat is basically Hovercraft Hideout in black without the dock. Still good. Accessories are FANTASTIC. Expect reviews sometime tomorrow.

For reals. Just a few hours to go.

Yesterday, I placed an order for all the Batman sets on next-day shipping.

They are indeed pearl light gray.

Just placed an order for all four on next-day shipping. Should arrive either tomorrow or Thursday. Expect reviews. ~ Bloody Jay

Hint, hint. Nudge, nudge. Wink, wink. -l2k- Nod's as good as a wink to a blind bat?

LEGO Superman... what an interesting idea! Maybe to tie into Superman Returns? Probably wouldn't come until next year, though... :unsure:

Passenger Train - $80 Cargo Train - $150 Confirmed.

Smooth Criminal - Alient Ant Farm

Great parts. Good figs. Horrible sets, from what I see.

I'd just like to add that I think Nickelodeon lost the Zim license, not to mention they cut the show from the air. Re-closed.

Been very busy with school and other things lately, should be on a lot more in coming weeks. Thanks for the concern! :)

I'm hoping for East Coast...

The current attitude at LEGO is anti-playset (excluding ships such as the new ISD), so don't expect to see Hoth and such...

That included the commentaries by Evil Willy and myself about the usefulness of the parts? They quoted the posts in question.

The offensive posts have been removed. Please refrain from that type of behavior in the future. I left the thread open and opted to delete the posts because I think the thread can still be a good one. Prove me right, ok?

10015 Passenger Wagon.

Majisto's Workshop, or whatever it's called. I love that set.

Yeah, it's called Pick a Brick or PAB and it's been out for years now.

Is the cowl rubber, reideen?

We've got an Uzi. Score.
