The LEGO Batman Movie Set/CMF Rumors & Discussion
Tupiaz replied to Sir Gareth's topic in LEGO Licensed
Can we get that Bat-pirateship already!? That is the thing which has peaked my interest the most so far. Hopefully a summer set. Depends which version they will go for. However based on the tone so far the clock head makes the much sense since it is over the top silly and campy like the movie. So hopefully. I think two bigwigs in one set is a bit too much. However they are doing it for Huld versus Red hulk. However the mutant leader is not as big as Killer croc nor Bane a regular minifig would be a better fit. I sure hope we get the Bat zeppelin much rather that than the Batmobile which granted is unique but is just another Batmobile (I would rather have a more classic and nostalgic Batmobile like the one from TAS). -

According to brickset 70910 will cost 10$ not saying they have the correct price just wanted to throw it in there. I agree the set looks more like a 20$ set than 30$. Happy Clayface is down to 35$ very good price for all of those pieces. -

You have to go and see. Sets has been seen in Germany as well so you could be lucky. There is no guarantee the shop will sell it before hand since they are not allowed. If you can then great if not you will have the opportunity to get your hands on them pretty soon. -

I didn't say you were against nor I'm - why should I be?. My point was mainly it is normal for Lego to news new pieces and not have them exclusive for one series (unless it is printed licensed or mini figures. I'm not against your postI mainly saying it is no surprise lego uses a new pieces in various sets. It is a pieces you could easily use for boat or plane (the tail) mocs. Now I haven't seen the Mr. freeze figures in really life however I like this one better than the one in the TLBM set. -

Why shouldn't Lego use a piece from a set in another series? It is expensive to get new moulds (development, producing and so on). When Lego is making new pieces the generally want to use them as in many sets as possible so when made they can use them in various sets. it is simply cost effective to do use a new piece. Just like the boat in this set is used in another Juniors set. The pieces will like be used in the future as well for instance in the summer wave of the TLBM or maybe in a themed outside lego for being creative and use the new piece. -
The difference is Star wars movies 4-5-6 are what people know Star Wars is. You have to get rather nerdy if you have been dealing with the Expanded Universe (besides Clone Wars which was aimed at younger audience). DC characters on the other hand has many different versions and Batman 66 is one which polarise the fanbase. I think LEGo will continue to do rather generic sets which everybody can use. I think we will se a TAS Batmobile before anything else.. Since the series has quite a fanbase and the Batmobile is viewed as one of the best.

I haven't seen any RRP for Britain. Where do you got the RRP for Lowrider and Batmobile from? The pund has devalued since the voting which make imported more expensive to buy and import and thus making the price higher since. It is also beneficial if your value decrease since it makes it cheaper for people from other countries to import that contras goods. It has been used several times in history in effort to get an economy better. However this has not really been possible in the EU because of the Euro and members who aren't part of the EU has been force to steady exchange rate to the Euro. I understand sources need to be anonymous however people need to address according to pictures/catalog I have seen or according to my sources instead of just people are claiming prices, sets and what not. -

They are doing what they are told by the company. If they don't it could have the consequences they won't get the Lego in the future or get them after the release. Some have gotten them early because either the place didn't care or the staffer did something they weren't suppose to do. It is not like you got screwed from something you were entitled to. -
Which catalog is that? the one I have seen ( http://s7d2.scene7.com/skins//LEGOMKTG/DE_SAH_2016-Holiday_lr[1]pdf ) only has the Lex Luthor set.

The set is is most likely not part of the winter wave but summer wave. LEGO released the Batman/Superman versus Lex Luthor this summer. The previous Batman Juniors set was out for over a year. If it is not part of the winter lineup then you won't see pictures in the forthcoming future.

The LEGO Batman Movie Set/CMF Rumors & Discussion
Tupiaz replied to Sir Gareth's topic in LEGO Licensed
Based on what RRP? The only RRP given so far is 40$. There is no RRP for the sets in EU/England. The exchange rate for 40$ is £31,92. Many sets have the same price in USD and pund. It should also be noted that the price in Euros and Punds includes sales taxes which it doesn't do in the US do to regional sale tax. So the price for Lego is only comparable if you are from Delaware. I will be very surprised if the set turns out to cost £30. England is still part of the EU and the full effect hasn't shown yet at all. the only thing the voting has effect is a drop in exchange rate. However the price wouldn't have been £30 if the UK had voted remain. -

It wasn't my point to bog-down the the thread. My point was simply that it was a great first Batman story to get if you anybody was interested in learning more about the Calendar man. besides it is a great comic for new readers. -
The LEGO Batman Movie Set/CMF Rumors & Discussion
Tupiaz replied to Sir Gareth's topic in LEGO Licensed
Calendar Man got his make over as a Hannibal Lector kind of character (Batman interviews him on several occasions to get ideas on who the killer is) in The Long halloween from the mid 90s written by Jeph Loeb and Dran by Tim sale. Great stort which has a lot of Batman's rogues in the stor. Worth reading. Shouldn't be hard to track down as TPB (trade paperback). Hard to do with out any info on the summersets. If the all have a regular Batman as the winter wave then it will be around 14-18. We got 4 in the sets and IIRC there would be 10-14 Batman in the CMF 5 non Batman heroes and 5-7 villains. That is of cause if the list is correct. Some have speculated that te CMF will all have exclusive figures and Batsuits appearing other places like Excalibur Batman won't be in the CMF line. -

Some 27th of November some 1st of January. -
While this is a minor thing. In EU/outside US the dates of the calendar is either of with the dates or the deals. This has seem to be happing more often than before. I understand that there can be a question of supply making having the same deals at the same time difficult. I also understands that some markets will get some deals other markets don't do for various reason. However it would be nice if EU/non US costumer would get better information about upcoming deals. Is their plans or possibilities there will be a EU/non US calendar? It would make it easier to get an idea of which dates is coming up and thus when to make a order with the best deal. Instead we have to rely on information for third party set since LEGO only has information about the current deals (at least I haven't be able to find any information).

Importance of quality when buying used pieces?
Tupiaz replied to Nathan734's topic in General LEGO Discussion
Or you could simply clean them with a hydrogen peroxide bath. It should be noted that instead of the sun you can use UV lights as hang has proven to be doing in another video. -
The LEGO Batman Movie Set/CMF Rumors & Discussion
Tupiaz replied to Sir Gareth's topic in LEGO Licensed
I'm guessing it won't be released until summer due to the Superman/batman versus Lex Luthor is relatively new (came out in 2016) and all the Batman movie sets. -
What sets do you think are a good investment right now?
Tupiaz replied to Lasivian's topic in General LEGO Discussion
Generally speaking more expensive sets are on shelves for a long period of time (years) smaller ones disappear with in a year - year and a half. -

To me it looks pretty standard and has beens seen in Ninjago, Batman sets before like (7886 and 76053) heck even the Ghostrider set has the same vibe even though it is bigger. It is even purple but grey. What do thing is so special about it? Wish there was a fish piece in the dumpster just for the lulz. -

I assume that is a play feature to mimic a hydraulic pump. Well, at least you got a lot of the yellow bat belts. Could be used on other Batmans. To be honest that truck doesn't do that much for me. Now I don't know if Croc is in the sewers in the movies. However it just make the Croc set we just got kind of the same vibe. Would have been nicer if one of them had a sewer seen. The vehicles versus building ratio is pretty bad. i would rather have seen a bigger diamond store than yet another motorbike -
At least lego went for a brick build version you can mod which fit the character very well. A regular mining or bigfig simply wouldn't give the right vibe. They made that mistake with sandman which just looked wrong as a minifig holding som sand pieces. His powers simply didn't show like it does with a brick build Clayface.

Arcodring to brickset the Mr. Freeze set, Joker ballon set and Scarecrow Pizza delivery set combines into one piece. Kind of interesting. It is not surprising with the Joker and Mr. Freeze you can see the similarities. Brickset has it listed at 49,99. http://brickset.com/sets/theme-The-LEGO-Batman-Movie I will get the mystery packs as well. Some obscure villains in the series which I like (Eraser and Calculator). -

I wil probably get The Joker ballon Escape, Catwoman Chase, Riddler Racer, Clayface splat attack, Joker Lowrider, Batcave Break in, Scarecrow Special Delivery, Penguins Limo (hoping for some of the Iceberg casino as well) and Arkham Asylum. The scuttler, Killer Croc set (mainly the vehicle) and Mr. Freeze attack doesn't interest me. Plan is to get the smaller sets first and then the bigger ones. Expecting Arkham Asylum and Batcave Break-in will be on the shelfs for some time to come. Have you seen the picture of the set which has surface? The set includes Scarecrow, batman and a security guard. Scarecrow drives a motorbike with a pizza trailer attached. Looks kind of like a rickshaw. There is a small security both for the security guard. -
Besides Shell as I mention earlier Lego used Exxon until 1992 when Octan took over. So you have several option to have several oil company in your Lego cry. You just have to tracked them down.
