I went to the new Lego Store brand new opening in San Antonio, Texas and since they were stocked with everything I was grabbing all the lego sets that I was missing(one thing I hate about Lego stores is that they have no shopping carts XD) So I am walking around with the Arkham Asylum, Quinjet, all the iron man 3 and man of steel sets and a White House set, and a Lego Helper comes up to me and tells me about their promotion which I knew what it was, but she told me they were out of stock since the store was balls to walls full by eleven in the morning(partly to do with the R2-D2 Help-Build thing going on around the corner) and the line to the cashier out the door, so after waiting with all those boxes in line for like 45 minutes and like 25 kids coming up to me and asking me who they were for, that they were going to be happy kids and what did I do to purchase them all questions, and having an old man with a VW Bug set asking me about the Lego Sets I am about to purchase, I finally come up to the register already ready for my "Lego" Store Opening T-shit which you get for purchases over 50 or more dollars, and the cashier pulls out of nowhere an Iron Man polybag to my amusement and I was like they told me they ran out of those, and then she goes on to say, well I think we found some boxes, and finally blurts out, well you are spending big here today so you deserve it!!! Thanks! I have been to four lego stores(orlando, atlanta, new york and this one) and so far this is my new favorite, the only thing is that the crew is so new they have no clue when they stock up on items for their June releases.... I know in Atlanta Discovery Mall they had their stock two weeks before the actual release and the Orlando is like a mini LegoLand, but the one in New York although the biggest lego store I have been to, is also the one that barely had any legos at all since they sell out quick, plus they had a lot of pick a brick tanks around the store and I was mouth watering some of them because I need those bricks but they were for display only... oh well.

WHen is the Jor-El Promo? I'm planning a huge purchase of legos soon... hehe

Hot toys is also releasing a War Machine "In-Between" armor figure that wasn't seen in the movie...

I don't know about you guys, but this line is extremely successful, I mean even the minifigures alone sell the sets, everytime I go to toy shops I see the superheroes line always low on stock, the one time I see all the sets together is when they stock up on items for a big weekend and stuff so I don't know, if they play their cards right, release a Hall of Justice set or Hall of Doom, and use the minifigures seen in the lego batman set it could work for the DC line, but the marvel sets I would think are motivated by movies, and with thor, captain america, the wolverine movie, and the upcoming days of future past coming up we might see a mash up of xmen, but please no more spiderman... I think we have the basic minifigures I think... I don't know, the DC sets seems more elaborate than the marvel I would think.

How dare you say this??? Lego games are my guilty pleasure. With the release of DC superheroes on iOS(Lego Batman 2 for iphone/ipad with polished graphics and the JLA mode from the portable games for 4.99) they changed up the formula now that instead of easily earning the red bricks and characters, they want you to buy gold bricks to unlock half of the characters, and the character roster is increased to 80+ now... WIth that said, the Iron Man Patriot figure is the way to go, but kind of unrelated to the marvel games I think... I have a feeling that we will see the many iron man suits in the game more than they exist in minifigures currently... Man I mean the games are great and all, but I am still hoping we sill see more DC sets other than batman, in the near future... I wish the Clark kent mini figure came with an alternate chest piece without the superman custome underneath.. hehehe

] I really don't see the hate either way, they always get lego sets earlier than Toys R Us and are at least a couple of cents cheaper than the lego store... It's the other alternative for Toy's R'Us being too crazy expensive on their toys... Plus you can bargain the cashier for damaged lego boxes... hehehe I like that IP is not a comic con exclusive, but I am starting to wonder if they are going to be more summer sets for the superheroes line...

Could you plead your case with Lego about the missing minifigs? I know the Lego website has support that helps you get your missing pieces or minifigs. Cross your fingers, I did this with some sets that had missing pieces and they helped me out.

So Mandarin!? really what a disappointment although I have spoiled the movie by reading the plot, I cannot say what a shame... a lot of people are going to be disappointed!!! XD

Maybe its because I suck at navigating this forum, or maybe why the gallery is locked away from me to see, but is there a way to see pictures of some of the member's collections? I'm dying to see some sets in someone else is home or just the boxes or the way they have them setup...

A new Superman Trailer was released (Man of Steel Trailer 3) that shows General Zod, wearing the armor and some of the sets look alike machines, and after pausing the trailer I have to say that the Battle of Smallville ship should have been a bit bigger XD...

If they release this minifigure in the SDCC, I will seriously buy plane tickets for the event before they sell out... But Honestly these lego iron man minifigures is starting to feel like Hot Toys...

There was a study done that spoiling a movie before watching it, makes it more enjoyable...

Sweet Jesus San Antonio!!! No way I was just thinking about that the other day... Now it's true woohoo, my twins and I are in for a treat, I moved from the one in the Atlanta and miss it, so this will make up for it...

That's how I feel with the super heroes sets, I build them up and then just store them, I'm sure if I gave them away the kid would have a blast.

I am kind of using the DBC building as wayne tower, so it would be kind of cool to throw in a wayne tower set or something heheh with the batman/bruce wayne changer seen in the batcave.

The one thing I like about the whole DC superheroes line is the continuity of the figures and vehicles from the Lego Batman 2 videogame, it is really cool how they are bringing them both together which is a bit rare, they did some stuff mini figures right on the game and would love them to see in real minifigures in the near future so we will see.

Man the Mandarin looks like he has poop on his head from that poster, but I do agree that The Bat does have those blue bits to reflect the *lights* from it, but honestly it is a bit too small for my tastes and not movie realistic at all, some MOC depict The Bat way better, I think. Honestly though is not bad for Toy, though, if I wanted a real movie replica I would have bought the Hot Toys version but on the lego's I like the fact that you can pretend it crashed and destroying it. <==says the 28y old. hahaha

Would it be too hard to see Black Adam Captain Cold Gorilla Grodd Sinestro Brainiac Bizarro ToyMaster Black Manta I mean my goal is eventually see the Hall of Doom in Lego format, but It would be highly unlikely I suppose... XD I know Black Adam is not part of it, but still it would be nice to pair him up with shazam though. And I think that Lex's Lego Batman 2 limited figure power armor suit resembles his Hall of Doom uniform.

Anyone seen The Man of Steel sets yet? THey look horrible compared to the IM3 sets, what a shame, although I like the emphasis on vehicles rather than actual sets, since these represent them so well. My only complaint is that Faora at first looks like a guy.

Would adding robin in his super friends color (batman 2006) count?

They lied, someone said Iron Patriot was going to be released with the IM3 sets.

Do the laughing fish!

How much did he had to pay for those mini figs of the turtles?

I so want that War Machine fig! They should release pretty much all the characters seen in Lego Batman 2, With the vehicles they were pretty cool and detailed, I just hope that they won't release the robin vehicles in the colors of the game though, but it's refreshing to see in the polybag set how it's red.

I was just curious because the printing on the head of iron man figs are black rather than dark brown so when I put Gordon's hair that closely resembles the one IM 3, it looked a little off with brown hair and black eye brows.
