Gotta say the same, +1 for GhostDog, he was great to trade with, would do again in a heartbeat! -
I guess I'm the only one who wouldn't mind a Hagrid-Savage :shrug: I just personally don't think Vandal has much visibly going on to make him stand out from all the other minifigures, so him having that imposing size and coat instead of like a bigfig or something appeals to me.

Totally agreed. Some minifigs look fine with just leg printing (Green Lantern comes to mind) but others...not so much. Flash is begging for dual molded legs and little lightning prints on his arms. Just too much red as it is, IMO.

Marvel Superheroes 2016 Rumors And Discussion
retrotaco replied to Quicksilver's topic in LEGO Licensed
DC is starting the dual molded legs, a few Batman sets have gray/black dual (although only the dark grey/black combo for now, still now light grey/black or light grey/blue or light grey/light blue) and Superman from BvS (well the big set at least) has dual molded legs. Seems Lego is starting to roll out dual molding and more printing as time goes on. -
Mr. Freeze being a giveaway in April feels like a nice incentive for me to save up some money until then to get the set and Freeze in one swoop haha

Finding alternate colors of a piece...?
retrotaco replied to retrotaco's topic in General LEGO Discussion
Thank you guys, these are all great, didn't know about the differences between datebases til now! -
It really is a shame. The new Batman helmet looks so good, but the whole thing looks off because of the printing.

Hey everyone, if this isn't the proper place to post this, feel free to move/merge me, I think this is right, but I could be wrong :/ Basically, I'm looking to switch out this piece; for either a trans bright green, black, purple or green piece, but the only colors I can find are here; http://brickset.com/parts/4570481 and none of them are on there. I know sometimes on Brickset that pieces can have different labels while still essentially being the same piece, and I didn't know how to find them if it was out there, or if anyone knows any other places to find that piece in those colors I mentioned. Thanks everyone!

Do the Batman heads in the BvS or Mighty Micros sets have flesh printing that's closer to the flesh color on other minifigs, or is it still stuck in 'ridiculously pale' or 'ridiculously tan' mode?

LEGO Collectable Minifigures Future Series Rumours
retrotaco replied to r4-g9's topic in Special LEGO Themes
Everything released about the Lego Batman movie sounds like it'll incorporate EVERY iteration of Batman - the old show, the Burton movies, the 90's movies, the Nolan Trilogy, some of the animated shows, etc., so they could POSSIBLY release a kinda cool variation of Batman/Robins/etc., which would be cool cause if you wanna buy them, there they are, and then you don't get saddled with them in a set or something. I know I'd be excited, I'm always down to expand Batman's Batsuit Gallery lol -
DC Super Heroes (& LEGO Batman Movie) General Discussion
retrotaco replied to Sir Gareth's topic in LEGO Licensed
Think we could ever see Bane (and maybe someone like Atom Smasher or whatnot) with a torso piece like this; I was looking at my Bane minifig near Batman and he's too tiny for Bane, but my Gorilla Grodd bigfig seems TOO big for Bane... that Nexo Knight seems a little more on the dot. -
I really like that little sideways scowl on Batman, I may use him for my 'main' Batman minifig, especially if the skin-tone is finally leveled out and isn't super pale like in the Batsub set or super-tan like the others lol Indeed, different strokes for different folks! First thing I do after putting a set together is usually kitbash it with other sets to make something I like more :D I just wish he had some muscle printing, he's gonna stick out like a sore-thumb being the only one without

That's funny, I was looking forward to adding to my collection of mini-legs for kid minifigures and such, then slapping normal legos on the Racer torsos lol

Wish there was more printing for the Flash Mini, or that one with that same lightning bolt design gets some more detailed printing down the line. It'd make for a perfect Wally West Flash, and would look just distinct enough from a Barry Allen one.

Haha, I actually got the farmer today and noticed as well! Nice! So there's a decent number of them out there! Wonder if they work good for any existing superhero outfits. -
DC Super Heroes (& LEGO Batman Movie) General Discussion
retrotaco replied to Sir Gareth's topic in LEGO Licensed
Silver Centurian looks like it's printing, not dual-mold, as far as the images online go. I started thinking about which ones were out there cause The Flash minifigure looks so 'plain' compared to the others with printing and dual-molding, lol. Just way too red. Red with yellow boots would look so good. Yeah, you're right, Chell has dual molding; Which CMF's have dual-molded legs though? I know some of the Simpsons kids have like, dual-and a half-molded legs, but nothing else comes to mind. -
Could be a Toys-R-Us or Target exclusive, or I guess Wal-Mart, but if they're right about it being a store-exclusive, that's what it means. Kinda like how the old set with Joker, Harley and The Riddler was a Toys-R-Us exclusive. Other places ended up selling it online and stuff though, IIRC.

DC Super Heroes (& LEGO Batman Movie) General Discussion
retrotaco replied to Sir Gareth's topic in LEGO Licensed
There's also the new dark blue/red dual-molded legs in the BvS set, and I was wondering if these five are the only dual-molded legs that have been released? -
Looks great! The hotdog vendor is a great touch too!
-
Awesome, saw it. Thanks for pointing me that way!
-
Nice! Any chance you have any pictures of the back of the Tumbler? If you don't mind, I definitely want to give making one just like this a go.
-
Do you think we'd be getting another Arkham set so soon after the last one? It was only retired a little bit ago, right?

$15 isn't bad - I wonder tho if it'd be cheaper to just buy Trickster on the second market. I have zero interest in the DVD lol Just did a quick check - looks like the price of Trickster hovers around $15 as well :/
