    That's because Cole's mech isn't in this wave.

    Check out what's under Rocket Boy's costume!

    Well yeah, I'm sure they'll start showing up in mid-April; I was just talking official release dates.

    No, the Disney minifigs came out May 1st of last year. Series 17 will be out May 1st of this year.

    The May the 4th promotion (double points and R2-D2 polybag) begins on... May the 4th. April 29th is just the VIP early access, which is a separate thing.

    That looks amazing! That's a really nice build for Ares' helmet. Definitely on my must-buy list.

    No. The Wonder Woman set is the only Super Heroes exclusive this year; there aren't any for Marvel.

    I can absolutely 100% confirm that those descriptions are the fakest bunch of fakes that ever faked, so let's not let this thread get any more derailed than it has to.

    The movie releases in November, not December. The sets will be coming out about three and a half months in advance, roughly the same window as the Star Wars EpVII ones.

    I've also evolved over time in my attitude to stickers. I still leave them off most of the time, but up until a few years ago I just flat-out didn't even buy any sets that had them. I've learned enough about the production process to understand why they're necessary, but I still prefer brick-built detailing over any sort of surface decoration (stickered or printed) any day. With regard to your own collection, I imagine that Platform 9¾ sticker has got to be worth something.

    Oh boy, a party! Will there be cake? I hope there's cake. I like cake.

    Nah... remember the LBM version of Killer Moth uses the helmet from the Mighty Micros version. If anything, that figure's existence is what points to an upcoming LBM Killer Moth, since the part already exists in the right color.

    Yep, that's amazingbricks for you, huh?

    Mutant Leader is confirmed to be in Bane's Toxic Truck Attack this summer. Egghead... depends on what you consider "confirmation." Nothing's official until it's official, as they say.

    According to the most recent numbers I could find, every person on earth owns, on average, 86 LEGO bricks. If you have more than that, you have a larger-than-average collection.

    That right there's your problem. TLG is a global company and has been pursuing Asian markets more aggressively recently. Western bias does not make for a good strategy in that kind of business environment.

    There are some pretty neat designs in the concept art (I especially like the roller-derby style Harley Quinn), but I can't honestly say I prefer any of the preliminary designs over the final versions. My favorites are the ones with a distinctly LEGO-ish twist to them: Killer Croc's use of the classic crocodile head and Two-Face's bad side looking like melted plastic.

    That seems like something within the realm of possibility. I'd like to see one that uses a recolor of the Man-Bat arms.

    SDCC is only a couple weeks before the sets will be released, so I highly doubt that that will be the first public reveal. It might be a good opportunity for a D2C reveal, though.

    I like the sound of that! Chris Pine looks enough like Chris Evans that I think the face would work, though I'd probably want to swap out a different hairpiece.

    Last I heard there is not a second Disney series next year, but what do I know
  22. tafkatb
    Yeah, I'm definitely going with The Ultimate Batmobile as well. Play features galore and one of the best combiner models I've ever seen.

    God I am so so so so tired of people whining that it's "lazy" to reuse parts. It's LEGO. The pieces are supposed to be versatile and reusable in different contexts. If you're so devoid of imagination and creativity that you need a brand new mold for every little detail, maybe this isn't the hobby for you.

    I think the Yuppie's cell phone is actually made of a printed tile and cheese slope attached to the studs on a walkie-talkie piece? Very clever little build! Very pleased with a lot of these but I think my favorite might be the chef.

    Here is a larger picture courtesy of the Brick Show - I'm not 100% certain but it does indeed look like Spider-Man's emblem has been updated.
