    I see Simpsons Series 2 evvveeerrryywhere I go - doesn't look like it sold at all, which makes sense to me, they used all the "big-names" in the first wave - I'm not a watcher of the Simpsons, only a super casual fan, and I didn't recognize half the characters in Series 2. The only reason I picked them up was to use their outfits and accessories in my general collection lol

    Oh wow, I'm shocked Lego hasn't come up with something like this. Looks so much better than the cloth skirts!

    Yeah, seems a real shame that they haven't offered at least the Superheroes minifigs in polybags or some other promotion, especially since so far they've included two non-obscure characters who are needed to round-out pretty popular teams (not that they're exactly cranking out the Johns-era Teen Titans minifigs, but I digress...)

    Really random and so specific that I doubt it'll effect most people, but just in case; I was visiting family in Tampa, Florida this past weekend, and when I drove through Largo, Florida, I stopped in a Target just to check and see if they had any CMF's for sale - they did, and AS WELL, they had like, no joke, 30 of the Lightning Lad cubes from last holidays - so, yeah, if anyone lives in the Tampa area of will be driving through any time soon, they are there for the taking (I had ~$0 on me at the time I found them, otherwise I'd have snagged a few :/ )

    Aaaaah. Has it been released in just black? I mean, wouldn't be hard to get some rubbing alcohol or something and get the pink off it, I suppose.

    I mean, if you don't mind going the non-purist route, I'm sure you could remove Ghost Rider's head and re-glue the flame piece onto another? But yeah, you'd probably have to get a spare figure for that, unless you're not a Ghost Rider fan
  7. retrotaco
    That piece has been produced in black, though, right? EDIT: Answered my own question;
  8. retrotaco
    Maybe so Green Goblin and Hobgoblin can have similar weapons, but they can look like different 'tech' or something? Some variation? (Or Lego just didn't think about it as much as we do lol)

    The new Robin in the Ra's set comes with the yellow cape and the black hood, but isn't there also a piece out there that's supposed to the the hood when it's 'down'? Didn't Wyldside or whatever her name was from the Lego Movie have one, or am I losing my mind?

    The playset angle may help move some units, but I'm thinking the Ra's set may end up being shelf-warmers and clearance fodder - Ra's and Talia don't seem to me like characters that really stand-out to the general population, and there's nothing really in the set that IMO 'jumps out' and would get a kid to want it.

    and +1 to Darth Caedus as well!

    You're not alone lol - I don't go straight black, but it's a majority black, very little grey, and a flash of yellow, plus I try to make them look like they 'belong' together. I hope they eventually put out a shorter 'Batman' cape (assuming Damian's cape is shorter than normal) in black, I wanna put his yellow cape under a black one, as that's how he looks in the comics. Would also like to do that with Tim Drake, but there hasn't been a yellow cape like Damian's made yet, if I'm right.

    Welp.... :fart noise:

    Ugh, that's a shame. I guess I'll hold out hope that maybe one day it could happen, cause I'd assume Shadows of the Empire could still be canon since it's wedged between Empire and Return. It was probably the old N64 game, but Dash has always been my favorite SW character lol

    Hey guys, I've never collected anything Star Wars Lego, and I'd love to get some down the line, but right now Superheroes dominates my wallet lol - so anyway, random question, the one set/characters I'd definitely want to track down would be anything involving Dash Rendar/Shadows of the Empire - has LEGO ever produced a set based on anything from that series? Thanks guys!
  16. retrotaco
    I'd have preferred a tan/brown cape and cowl over printing on the arms and legs, but that's just me. Maybe down the line a brown cape and cowl will be released and I can swap em in!
  17. retrotaco
    Ooof. Well, the Bat-Buggy is getting scraped for parts here, I really wish the Batman had a tan helmet and cape or brown or something other than black, and what's up with the old helmet style making a resurgence? Ra's looks great, Talia is...there lol. Damian's cape being frayed is cool, but I loathe the new style capes so womp womp. I don't know why everyone's getting so worked up over the Pit, it's Lego - make it bigger!

    Lucky kid not only gets a Star Wars bedroom, but gets a two story bedroom to boot! Awesome stuff here, the details are fantastic!
  19. retrotaco
    Oooh, those are printed, not stickers? Even better, cause my stickers always end up off-kilter and with my fingerprints on the sticky side Oh, duh - the Mighty Micro lol. Yeah, I've already got the DC ones, no idea why I read 'Flash Vs. Captain Cold' as a new set haha
  20. retrotaco
    Yes! This was it, thank you!
  21. retrotaco
    I keep considering getting into Mixels, cause they're so cute, but I know I'll end up all in and want two of each so I could have the three mixels and a the max displayed side by side, and my wallet can't handle that
  22. retrotaco
    I'm always happy with any set that has more translucent stickers for my Batcave setup lol What's the Flash vs. Captain Cold set?
  23. retrotaco
    I remember someone posting a pic of a Darth Vader lego with a black 'skirt' from a different minifig, and I think it was someone in here...any chance anyone knows who/where that was? I wanted to show my buddy the pic of it, and now I can't find it for the life of me lol
  24. retrotaco
    Ooooooh man, I'll be snagging that set first chance I get for sure.

    I just can't wait to finish the Johns-era Teen Titans team - definitely one of my favorite runs. The minibuild looks great, by the way!
