Yes, but half of them are venomised!

Pics are out! All 3 Batmobiles are well-realised, the greebling on the logo is a neat touch with the rogue gallery‘s accessories hidden throughout, and the golden Man is pretty cool ^^ Still sucks we‘re getting nothing but MAN

In general, I‘d agree. But from what I understand, all the smart brick is, is a more sophisticated light & sound brick with a scanner à la Mario. The app is probably mostly used to update the bricks, and I doubt it incorporates any AI (unless you call a rule-based procedure AI) A brick that can be placed inside different vehicles and change sound effects accordingly sounds like a pretty fun concept to me, basically like an adaptive and more versatile version of already existing toys Of course you can argue that kids don’t need that and it’s better for them to make or imagine the sounds in their heads instead, but that‘s a deeper discussion ^^

I don’t wanna give any sort of financial advice (and you do you, no judging), but if someone can afford to spend this much just on the minifigs, shouldn’t they also be able to afford the entire set? You could buy the set, sell all the parts except for the minifigs, and probably still spend less overall

Ohhh, exciting! I miss the times when they actually revealed new sets at toy fairs and conventions! I even have nostalgia for the dreaded SDCC/NYCC exclusives, but please don’t ever bring those back, reveals will suffice

Yeah, it’s kinda funny we have minifig lists for some March stuff for other themes and one January set is already available for pre-order (Kachow!), yet we still have no clue what these sets entail exactly Definitely looking forward to the motorbike and Lovegood house sets the most. Some of you may remember how peeved I was when it became clear there were no DH sets in 2021. 5 years later, and they did everything I wanted from those two movies anyway Well, assuming the motorbike set is based on DH, that is! It has “escape” in its name, after all.

Bruh You just crushed his dreams, destroyed his desires, set fire to his wishes, and annihilated his aspirations!! Then again, ripping off the band-aid is usually for the better.

To be honest though, I prefer having three unique Batmen over the three almost identical Batmen and Jonklers we got in 2023

The real disappointment here is the logo’s minifig selection. A gold Man is cool and all, but they really should’ve included some villains. Or any character that isn’t bloody Man

… ARE THEY FOR REAL?? A wave of 4 sets and the minifigs are all Batman variants Don’t get me wrong, the choices for the 3 Batmobiles are great and Battinson with dual-moulded legs and Clooney Batman sound awesome, but we now have a BvS set without the S and a B&R set without the R. And the logo set’s minifigs sounds like a joke. I was joking when I said this is now a literal Batman theme, and turns out it is!!

Depends on what kind of info you mean We’ve known the price, piece count, minifig list, GWP, and release date since like February. The set itself has leaked months ago and minifig leaks have begun as well. The only info missing is the official product description and high-res images, which I expect in late October or early November.

That’s not the 18+ set, the smart brick Pikachu is a much smaller set

TLG: Did I hear Venom?? Say no more!!

Indeed! I hope we hear more about the March sets soon More minifig leaks for the January sets would also be appreciated. Also the M&G sets, even though it’s way too soon for them.

I got curious and looked up some other rare and expensive SW minifigs. Please correct me if I missed some! I’m going by memory I think the top 3 are: The number one spot seems to go to the 2013 “NY I love” Yoda, priced above $2000 for a silly torso Finch Dallow is next, with the cheapest one on BL right now being $1400, which is also bloody ridiculous, but at least he’s an actual character from the movies. 2003 CC Boba Fett takes home bronze, priced at around $900. Also makes no sense to me since better versions exist! Another baffling one is the Yuletide pilot from the Xmas X-Wing. Why is it worth over $600 now?

Eh. Not getting my hopes up before we hear more details It’s certainly possible, but it could just as well be a regular Spidey minifig! I’ve learned not to expect too much from this theme

He has two or three lines in TLJ ^^ He’s piloting the bomber Rose’s sister is aboard on, before a TIE fighter destroys the cockpit, killing him.

Simple, display it like any other minifig As a completionist (sort of), it’s what I do Finch Dallow appeared in a regular set technically, so I had to get him. (And I like TLJ, but that’s beside the point). Where I draw the line is at SDCC sets and figures, plus Mr Gold. Not even I’m willing to fork over the obscene prices for those! And yeah, the increased value doesn’t really matter to me since I don’t intend to ever sell my collection. In order words, I don’t mind at all whenever expensive sets or minifigs get remade! In fact, I welcome it

In general, the most I’ve spent on a minifig was $350 for the SDCC-exclusive Collector ^^ Specifically for SW, it was the Finch Dallow minifig, which - if I recall correctly - was $250-ish back then. I thought I had overpaid, but considering what the minifig’s worth now, maybe not so much I’m not getting any further SDCC exclusives or other absurdly rare minifigs like Mr Gold. My completionism has its boundaries!

Just saw it too! Liked it just as much as the first one, except for the lackluster song numbers. Jonkler’s opera song just couldn’t live up to Riddler’s iconic Ave Maria. And don’t get me started on Calendar Man’s performance! The sets covered the movie pretty well too! Glad they included a more accurate cowl for Battinson. Part III has just been announced too! Wouldn’t it be sad if we lived in timeline where the movie was delayed by two years?

Us TIE Avenger Bros Lisan al-Gaib!!

Since the other 5 sets that don’t have a smart brick are still supposed to be compatible with them, wouldn’t it make more sense for all of them to be based on the OT? If so, that’s definitely a monkey paw situation

How though? If we’re unlucky, those four sets in March might be it for the year

Pretty strange! PAB-exclusive parts aren’t really a thing, are they? So maybe it shows up in a set at some point?

So we went from a Batman theme to a DC theme back to a Batman theme, and now it might become a literal Batman theme with nothing but Batmen Logo, save us!!
