    I think they were asking if you added any bricks/dimensions to the Tumbler, or if it's just a black version of the exact Tumbler in the Bane set (I wondered the same thing myself, but it looks like you maybe bulked out the back a bit?)

    Wow, these look great! I'd love to make a Tumbler just like yours!

    Oh! Man, I hope it's still out there? Are stores still selling the DVD with the minifigure? I missed the Clark Kent minifig way back and have kicked myself ever since for it lol Reverse-Flash is definitely a more major villain for the Flash (and he'd be easy to make, it's just color swaps on pre-existing pieces/designs), but he's not part of 'The Rogues' as a team, so he's on my back-burner for now. Crossing my fingers hardest for an eventual Kyle Rayner minifig lol

    I imagine they're talking about people who sell old and retired sets on eBay and such at inflated rates, that's probably what they mean by 'proper'.

    If I remember correctly, this isn't the first time these two companies have tried to/had rumors about merging - they're gonna be challenged on grounds of a monopoly if it did happen, I'd imagine, as they're the two of the biggest toy companies out there, and definitely the two biggest action figure companies - it'd be like Pepsi and Coca Cola merging. If it DOES happen however, I imagine that, like some other people already noted, that the more profitable of the two would continue while the other (I'd imagine Kre-O) would be discontinued and their licenses would transfer to Mega Bloks. We'll see...but either way, I imagine LEGO is untouchable in the market.

    Yeah, after looking at the available pieces in the older trans green, it looks like there isn't much there to make cool constructs out of :/ I was looking thru my transparent piece collection, and transparent florescent green (http://brickset.com/parts/colour-Transparent-Fluorescent-Green) works pretty well, IMO, and since it's a little brighter than transparent bright green, it matches better with the brighter green Luthor will be using in that upcoming juniors set.

    Aaaaah, thank you guys! Yeah, I've never seen one either, guess they're not big in the Southeast US :/

    I want Mirror Master, Weather Wizard and Heat Wave first, but only because The Rogues were always my favorites, and I'd like to finish out the group. Did that Trickster minifigure ever end up released yet?
  9. retrotaco
    No way that's real, IMO.

    I don't think this request could be filled yet (because it's for a yet to be released minifigure) but I wanted to see if it was possible beforehand - The Mighty Micro Flash looks perfect for a Wally West Flash (including the white eyes), but it has no musculature printed on it, so it's going to stick out with the more detailed standard minifigures; So I was wondering if it would be possible to make a mostly transparent decal, but recreate the musculature from the standard figure? If possible, one that didn't overlap with the Mighty Micro Flash's lightning and logo, like on the standard one? And depending on the Mighty Micro having back-printing, is it possible to recreate the standard Flash's back print? Like, just the darker red musculature and the lightning bolt, the rest transparent? Thanks guys, and sorry if these are stupid questions

    The gold wings would go great with the New52 design for Hawkman, I've never been a fan of the plastic flimsy wings they gave him. I've been using the darker trans green for Green Lantern constructs (cause I use the bright trans green for Kryptonite/Lex Luthor) and I was wondering if there's any pieces like these ^^^ in the darker trans green?

    I'll be picking up the Helicopter for sure (Killer Moth and Scarecrow for my Batman's Rogues Gallery and Blue Beetle for my Teen Titans) and definitely the Bat-Tank (I love that Killer Croc, I know not everyone's into him, but I think he's perfect) and I love Red Hood so that's an easy sell. I'll grab the Gotham City Cycle Chase too, but mostly for Deadshot. I'm not a huge fan of New52 designs, so Katana and Harley aren't really doing it for me. Oh! and I'll definitely be picking up a Cosmic Boy minifig from somewhere, and hopefully they'll round out the Legion Of Superheroes with some other characters! The Batcave I'd LOVE...but that's only gonna happen if I get way more $$$ coming my way than I expect, but I'd love to get it - I was a HUGE fan of the show growing up.

    Aaaaaaah, my local TRU didn't have any out (which I thought was weird) but this may be why. I'll have to look next time I'm in there. Were the boxes near the other LEGOs? WHS? Which store is that?
  14. retrotaco
    LEGO has sooooooooooooooo much name-brand recognition as well, no one really cares about Mega Bloks or Kre-O or K'Nex (they still make those?) they just go straight to LEGO.

    This looks great! Really love the snow effects hanging over other pieces!
  16. retrotaco
    That's really happening? Must make it awkward if you want to feel the blind-bags for specific minifigures, someone must have to stand there and watch you the whole time lol

    I think this is the right place to ask this (fingers crossed!) Does anyone know of any MOCs or MODs based off Luthor's mech from Superman Vs. Power Armor Lex? My local Walmart had them on sale for $9, so I picked up three to add to the two I already had, so I'm wanting to make a larger build for Lex, but I need some inspiration/ideas (I'm not the best at coming up with entirely original designs, I do better mashing up different ideas into something new :/ ) Thanks!

    Wow, didn't even know about Bricks and Pieces, definitely going to grab a pair of those! Thank you! Don't know if this thread is the right place for it (please direct me elsewhere if this isn't supposed to be here!) I've been wanting to do a MOD of the Mech from the Superman Vs Lex Luthor set (I have six of them lol) but I'm not so great at doing completely made from scratch things - I'm better at cobbling together ideas and parts from other projects and incorporating them - so on that note, I was wondering if anyone knew of any other mechs or Luthor MODs out there, something I can snag some inspiration and ideas from? Thanks!

    Aaaaah, thanks guys! Didn't know about that Spider-Man fig, may have to track him down! I really wish the Flash Micro had some 'musculature' on his printing, cause he'd make a perfect pre-New52 Wally West Flash.

    Hey guys, new to the forum - was just wondering if anyone had purchased the BvS's The Sky-High Battle and knew if the red-boot legs match with the 'comic' superman, or if the movie Superman is a darker blue than the comics version? I'd love to have the dual-mold red boot legs on my Superman from the Luthor Mech set, but don't want to get the set to only find out it doesn't match :/ Sidenote - the new sets look awesome, my wallet already hurts but my nostalgia is pumped.
