    So far I've got a 'Classic' collection going, a 'New 52' collection (Batman, WW, Nightwing, Penguin, Batgirl, etc) and then I've got the BvS figures - haven't got any of the TDK Trilogy stuff, and won't get any based on the CW series, but I'd definitely like to get the '66 Universe going...but oh man, that price tag on that set Hahahaha I'm too much a fan of the Distinguished Competition to mix and match, it'd drive me nuts. I like taking pieces from my personal collection and making the minifigs look more like their comic counterparts when necessary (like Dick Grayson's hair lol)

    That's gonna be the best place to find these leftover - if you're in too rural an area, you probably either don't have GameStops, or the pre-ordered games would DEFINITELY be picked up, polybag included - and if you're in a major city, there's probably enough people who'd have the same idea as you, and clear out the extras early. If you're in the suburbs near a major city though, especially one with lots of little shopping centers and GameStops? You'd have the best odds.

    It's gonna be entirely hit-or-miss as far as Gamestops having extras- some places they're all given away, other places the employees took the extras, some places though will have some extras - your best bet would most likely be smaller cities where the store may have had a decent number of pre-orders, but not a huge population of people who'd go in asking about extras. I know the few around me didn't have any.

    Yeah, I've always loved the multiverse aspect of DC, so if nothing else I'm just happy that the DCEU is creating a little 'elseworlds' Lego set-up for me lol

    The Wayne Manor section is popping up for only £25.00?? I may have to snag a few over the next few months, I'd love to be able to make a real nice and big 'manor' section, and if people are getting rid of them and keeping the Batcave, even better. The MOD looks great!

    lol I will never be able to shake that, until the day I die it'll be 'one lego'/'two legos'

    It would have been awesome to get something exclusive, but those are geared more towards young kids, I think the idea is that they wouldn't have pre-existing collections, that this may be their gateway into Legos.

    I imagine, based on how much they shoehorn Batman into sets encompassing 'DC Superheroes', that it's gonna be mostly Batman-centric stuff if we get sets/series on it. Random question - are there any big differences between the black suit Batman from the Superheroes line and the Batman from The Lego Movie? Like, was it updated for the film?

    I mean, I double-taked at the arm too, it's definitely a frame where his hand isn't super visible.

    Ehhh...they could just be weirdly designed headlights, right?

    Is it purple for sure? I couldn't really make it out in the pic and can't really play the trailer right now :/ I like the rounded bottom piece for the hammer as opposed to the flat, I may have to make that myself! Are there closeups like this pic of the other villains too?
  12. retrotaco
    I'm sure there will be at least a slight difference from the comic minifigs, assuming he's in the set.
  13. retrotaco
    Yesssss, so happy to see Riddler finally getting a proper Riddler cane instead of a crowbar lol

    What are the differences between the Scarecrow in the teaser and the Scarecrow we're getting? Looked so similar to me, I thought they were one in the same. Killer Croc obviously has the croc mouth tho, so I definitely agree with you there, but I also like non-croc mouth version we are getting, because at least Killer Croc DOES appear like that in the comics alot.

    I really just want that Clayface, most of the other rogue's I'm happy with their minifigs we got, but that Clayface looks awesome.

    I'd love some Rebirth looks, I just hope we get New52 Supes and GL before that; We already have New52 Batman, WW and Martian Manhunter, so I'd love to see the other two, and definitely a New52 Flash too, but he doesn't even look 'New52'ish in the Lego Movies, so who knows if there will ever be one of him.
  17. retrotaco
    Mmmm...forgot about him - with the price of his set though, it's hard for a lot of people to acquire, plus, IMO, if Robin is gonna have the bootie look, he should have kid sized legs, like the Simpson's kids minifigures. I love that hair on Nightwing, gonna buy the Batwing set (mostly for Wonder Woman) but also for another hair to slap on the blue Nightwing when he comes out lol
  18. retrotaco
    In the New52, yes, he's got a very definite costume of his own. In the classic continuity though, he looks just like Dick Grayson, same little speedo and booties look - which, I don't think we've had in minifigure form yet, right? Jason shows up in some pants-version of the Robin costume after he comes back from the dead in one Teen Titans issue, but that's...that's best forgotten. I've commented before about how I dislike Supe's hair on Plastic Man and both Tim Drake and Dick Grayson having the same hair, so these are the switches I made, I was pretty happy with them. BvS Superman's hair on Nightwing, and the black hair from the Lex Corp Goon on Plastic Man. I really like Nightwing, not as pleased with Plas, but that'll do fine til something better comes along.
  19. retrotaco
    Mmm....it does indeed lol - but I really like that hair on Nightwing too - I've been trying to have different hairpieces (or better looking ones) on all my hero minifigs, and I especially don't like Tim Drake and Nightwing having the same hair - any other ideas for what hair I could use on Nightwing? I like the 'looser' look of the BvS Superman hair, but yeah, that piece does look really good on Plas lol EDIT: Does the hair Freddy from the Scooby Doo line uses come in black, or is only the blonde variation for him?

    Whew, been away for a while (awful job I just quit lol) and I am so excited for the 'classic' Nightwing, finding the old one is next to impossible now (and I don't think he looks as good as the newer ones) and even though I like my little growing New52 collection, I really want all the 'classic' characters more. Kinda on that note - I used BvS Superman's hair on Nightwing (the red one) and IMO it looks way better than the spikey hair, fits him more, and will definitely be putting the hair on the blue Nightwing was well. Speaking of hair - does anyone know of any hairpieces I could use for Plastic Man that aren't Superman's hair but still have that 'old-school' spitcurl kinda look? The Where Are My Pants Guy's hair is too big, and that was all I had that I thought might work.

    I like his little 'confused' face printing on the back as well.
  22. retrotaco
    Hahahaha! Well done all-around! I wonder if they've had issues with people just popping the minifigs out of the front and stealing them?
  23. retrotaco
    I wish it was Kyle Rayner lol
  24. retrotaco
    I thought the arms on his Crossbones looked pretty great :shrug:
  25. retrotaco
    That blue cowl on Buccaneer Bats is awesome, definitely gonna have to snag a few for some customs... guess I'll be donating a lot of DC Minifig Visual Dictionarys to some Goodwills lol Oof, I hate the spongy capes - we should set up a thread where people can trade each other spongy capes for old capes depending on which one you prefer
