    I went through the same thing, I didn't expect to like the Mighty Micros at all, but fell for them in person big time - and was totally with you on being 'meh' towards the Marvel ones, and still am - I don't think I'll collect them (except for maybe Spidey for the "crooked eye" look) but am really hopeful we get a few more waves of at least the DC Mighty's down the line - need to finish my Chibi Justice League! I really like that Jokerland Harley - like you said, it's not comic accurate, but it fits Harley's 'look' so well that I really enjoy having it in my collection - the jester look is more 'classic', the Jokerland is a bit more 'modern', and the cycle version is New52 - works for me!

    Looks like I've been convinced! If I find any others in other Walgreens I may have to snag them to build up the SHIELD ranks lol - and if I do that, I'll mention it in here to see if anyone still needs Miles or Carnage!

    Thank you! This is like EXACTLY what I was looking for - I never bought the set in the past cause I HATED the way the Hulkbuster looked, but after seeing it in person, I like it much more...it's just way too tall for movie scale IMO. Thanks Kamal!

    Are these going to be available worldwide? Sorry if this has been gone over before, this is the first time I'm really even noticing these, and I'd love to snag them for the different hairs and flesh faces!

    Hey guys, I picked up the AoU Hulkbuster set today, and I like it, but like others have pointed out, the Hulkbuster is pretty huge - I'm not so great at just wingin' it when making MODs, and the search feature hasn't been turning up many results like what I'm looking for - has anyone seen (or done) a MOD with the Hulkbuster being scaled down to be closer in size to the Hulk bigfig? Thanks!

    That El Dorado really is fantastic!

    Isn't the next wave pretty much entirely comic-Spider-Man based? I focused more on DC's stuff, but I remember seeing like Scarlet Spider and Scorpion and the old green Vulture and stuff, is there another wave coming out too? and thanks! Will definitely snag that set - I'm not too crazy over the Carnage minifig, but I like Mile's design, and the SHIELD guy should be cool for an army builder.

    I was looking through the old 2006-era sets, and man I hope they make another Batboat like they did with that Killer Croc set back in the day, I love the look of that, that kinda 'hovercraft' look it had. The Deathstroke set has elements like that, but feels more like a 'command center' with that computer/satellite thing lol

    A local Walgreens has that set with Miles Morales, a SHIELD Agent and Carnage, and I was wondering if Miles was going to be showing up in the next wave of Spider-Man sets or if I should snag that set now?

    I like the Damian Wayne Robin, but I'm also a fan of the character in general soooo... I actually hope they hold off on Red Robin until the New52 element dies down completely, I'd hate for us to finally get Red Robin and it's this guy;

    For anyone interested in the pricing of the Gotham DVD - I have a few Walmarts around me that ALL got TONS of Cosmic Clash DVDs, sure it's only a matter of time before they get discounted heavy like the older DVDS. I imagine Gotham/Nightwing will be the same.

    So true - they say they're doing it for the purpose of simplicity, but just look at Plastic Man - the old one doesn't exist, the newest one you can find is from an 'alternate Earth' that doesn't exist anymore, and then they re-introduced Eel to completely forget about him after they already retconned his JLI appearance out of continuity. Yup. Reeeeaaaal simple.
  13. retrotaco
    That makes sense - I'd forgotten that you see Eel get doused with something in Justice League #25 or whatever, but then he's never seen again lol - just assumed the costume was from later down the line, didn't realize that thread was never picked back up. I imagine he'd look like that in the New52 though, so it's close enough for me! Yes indeed, I believe the only look he doesn't have in Lego form would be his post-Brightest Day appearance; He's appeared in his new series in the post-Convergence DCU, but that's used his New52 look and a bunch of other alternate identities for him.
  14. retrotaco
    Oooooh, that might be right. Has he popped up as Plastic Man in the New 52 at all? I plan on eventually ordering fleshie legs and throwing a red torso on him to make him 'classic' anyway lol
  15. retrotaco
    Oh, are they bringing back the black and blue look? Nice. Oh yeah, for sure - they're out of date as far as the current looks, but it seems like they're going for a 'classic' appeal while still using the New52 costumes that they've released (except for Superman and Green Lantern's New52 looks which I want so bad lol) so it's never gonna match up just right.
  16. retrotaco
    It seems like it's because in the DVD the minifigs all represent their New52 looks (which is why Red Nightwing is in the movie) while the minifig itself, at least this time around, was purely fan service, which is why it was the now "out of date" Blue Nightwing.
  17. retrotaco
    The polybag Plastic Man is New52 as well.
  18. retrotaco
    I like that Supergirl hair a lot more than the one from Brainiac Attacks set.
  19. retrotaco
    Aaaah, nuts. Oh well. There's one or two in my local Books A Million, it's like $5 over the retail price, but not having to worry about shipping is nice. Gonna save up for that for my next purchase, before it's gone for good. Ok, good to know - man, kinda wish I hadn't purchased the Harley Quinn set and the little MiniRacer guys, would have snagged them on the site and got Mr. Freeze with it.
  20. retrotaco
    I don't have a debit or credit card ('tis the life) will I be able to get just one of those generic cash/gift cards and use that on the Lego site to get the Freeze promotion? and as a related aside, the Javelin set isn't still available on Lego's site, right?
  21. retrotaco
    Definitely worth hitting up places you've asked before again too - I've asked at that mall store before, when the Silver Centurian just came out, and the guys working there were obnoxious and blew me off - and the entire time they probably not only had Silver Centurians but also a 3 year old Iron Patriot? lol geez - definitely worth re-asking though, you never know! Yeah, I've been kinda on the fence about collecting Marvel (I collect DC and that's pricey enough ) but I really like the Spider-Man sets and that Ghost Rider looks so good, plus I like the Civil War sets a lot and really like the Marvel films...so maybe this was fate's way of letting me know 'screw your wallet' lol
  22. retrotaco
    Ooooooh, thank you! Yeah, I think I'll snag two extras so long as the price isn't too ridiculous...maybe that Batwing will end up clearanced later on down the line.
  23. retrotaco
    Hahaha yeah, I was shocked, just thanked them a lot and went on my way lol I guess if I end up getting the Civil War sets now I can slap Rhodey's head on War Machine haha
  24. retrotaco
    Went to the GameStop in our mall, after the convo in here, and they didn't have any Silver Centurians, but they did have a Rhodes Iron Patriot from IM3 that they gave me - I don't follow Marvel lego really at all (this would be my first Marvel minifig) did I just get something awesome or are they kinda easy to come by?
  25. retrotaco
    Maaaaaan, I wanted to order the Batcave and snag the Freeze promo, but I just quit an awful job so the funds are dry and I bet it sells out before I get the cash :/ Random sidenote - could anyone with the BvS Wonder Woman do me a favor and tell me how her arms with the bracelets look on the classic/New 52 WW? If you had a pic of it, that'd be awesome too :D I'm thinking of ordering two extras to slap on my other Wonder Woman's if they look good enough.
