    I'm thinking we'll end up getting Raven in that same set or soon after. I feel like there's no way they'd exclude her when the core team is available. I'm sort of hoping for mostly the cartoon designs (Since Go has the same costumes I guess it makes no difference which cartoon series I mean). Though I think I'd prefer the Raven design in the game over the cartoon version.

    DC 47/60 variations and nameless characters got me on this one. Marvel 50/66 I had a problem remembering the unnamed characters. Especially villain henchman... Otherwise I mostly forgot 2015 minifigures, with a few exceptions.

    I'd be okay with a New 52 version, but I'm kind of doubting it'd be the same as the game. It's just a clumsy looking design to me, plus the hair doesn't seem quite like an actual Lego piece. If the New 52 version is used I'm betting it will be a better design than the game. For $100 I expect a lot of minifigures. They could just use the new cowl in blue with some printing. And I'll admit it's pretty unlikely they'll use 60's Batman, Lego definitely prefers the black and grey for Batman over the blue, but I'd like to dream. But I'm still hoping for a different Batgirl, I simply prefer the purple version over the black version. Really if not the 60's version than I'd like the new costume. At the very least they could do a better job on the cowl (The ears are too tall and the color of the hair on both of my copies have faded and are developing black spots, which is unexpected considering they've sat on a shelf for most of the year). I mean they can now mold two different plastic colors together, I really would like a better cowl for Batgirl.

    There are still plenty of bat-family members. Unfortunately we're down to variations on side-kicks at this point; Red Robin, Jason Todd Robin/Red Hood, Two female Robins and two additional Batgirls. So there are more bat-family members they could do, unfortunately they fall into the rehash category. Creeper is an awesome idea though! I'm hoping for an Arkham Knight style Harley (A new hairpiece would be great). I'd be okay with a Joker variation too, but I'd prefer the 60's version. I'm also hoping for the Mad Hatter and Clayface. For heroes I'd like to see 60's versions of Batman, Robin and Batgirl. I feel like that's the one remaining variation I'd like to see for those characters (Batgirl I'd just like to have a better looking cowl, but also I prefer her purple costume better). It would also be great to get a few civilians in this set, like Vicki Vale, Alfred, Lucius Fox or really any supporting character as we have so few of those.

    Sandman! That's pretty awesome. I'm betting it'll be comic based. Really any new Spidey set is awesome though. I'm betting on a Green Goblin and Gwen Stacy set too. Spooky girls hair (Which has Gwen's signature bangs) and the new Goblin hat (Widows peak included) from the CMF are too perfect not to be for those two characters.

    So very many possibilities! Definitely seems like a new Joker and Harley Quinn are in the works. I'd say Mad Hatter could fit into this set too. Build wise I'm guessing we might finally see a roller coaster system implemented (Plus I can recall a few iconic shots of Batman and Joker fighting on a roller coaster). Wouldn't be surprised to see a new Robin and Batgirl (60's variations welcome). Killer Croc for the water set. Lego Batman 3's design seemed like the real deal, the jaw even had a realistic hinge, which makes no sense to include in the game unless it's in reference to a real piece (As all the other bigfigs with big mouths don't have a hinge). Looking forward to this line-up.

    Who knows, they might have actually created a smaller version. I mean I can see them making it out of scale in an illustration, but even the way it's being held isn't the same, so there is some possibility they created a new version of the mold. Which I'd be okay with as I feel the current piece is too big. I guess we'll see for sure in the coming months.
  8. strangely
    It's printed onto the piece.

    That seems unlikely, as he isn't in the new movie. And in the original movie he dressed differently (Tan hat, blue shirt), so if there was a set from the first movie that minifigure wouldn't match his appearance.
  10. strangely
    He could have a new reverse head. Tony Stark did that I believe. So it may not be completely old. Hair looks oddly smoother than the actual piece, but that's probably due to it being a render rather than the actual thing. I do like the overall look they've gone for, giving us a confined park space seems like a pretty good idea, the fences are vital after all. Hopefully they give us the gate and few of the tourist attractions, I would love a monorail/roller coaster type ride included. A visitors center of any kind would be awesome (Old or new version, though a new version would need to include the Hammond statue).

    Well since Character Building had movable legs for him I'd think Lego would try to do the same. Plus it would be a step back quality wise if they didn't do it despite it being possible in Lego form, and I highly doubt Lego is going to take being upstaged by a clone brand. Plus being a great Dane he's a human sized dog anyway, so there's no reason he shouldn't be as articulated. I would kind of hope for Scooby Doo they give us a print variety for the face, a scared Scooby and a normal Scooby. And if they wanted to give us a sitting variation of the mold I'd gladly take it (Though they'd never do that, but I can dream).
  12. strangely
    I wouldn't worry. The style would be pointless to imitate. Molded heads would never be able to capture that style (Necks are too thin) and the minifigure body could never imitate their lanky proportions correctly, so it would be a losing battle to try. Realistically the only thing I could see them doing is trying to imitate the eye style, but considering the original series used Lego like eyes to begin with it would be ridiculous to change them to the new style. At the end of the day they're all pretty much dressed the same as their original counterpart (I think Daphne's the only one dressed differently and that's minimally different at best), so even if the heads were messed up in some weird style they could be swapped out.

    I'm a bit split on how I feel about this wave. It did fill in a lot of gaps in the heroes and villains roster. At the same time the minifigure line-up had some weaknesses. The Flash and Aquaman were kind of a waste, they could have at least done some variation on them. Superman's old design being used twice in one wave was really lazy. Robin was interesting to a point, but ultimately another slot taken up by a useless variation (Aqualad or Beast Boy would have been awesome). And like the last several waves the civilian line-up is terrible. I'm glad we didn't get another guard, but at the same time Banana guy ends up being pointless (Even if he is awesome). Where's Lois Lane or Vicki Vale, Lucius Fox or Jimmy Olsen or any number of civilian characters? We have a ton of heroes, but almost nobody for them to save, so that's still a let down (MOS Lois Lane isn't worth saving). My other problem was the choice in builds. They are all very good builds in themsevles, I can't fault that, but the choice in what was included in the sets wasn't great. I didn't need a bat-mech or a bat-sub. The GL jet is just pointless as all three characters can already fly. The invisible jet and Javelin are the only two vehicles I actually wanted in Lego form, but it's admittedly sad that the banana truck upstages the invisible jet. This wave really lacked a good playset too, a Daily Planet would have been awesome (It's a bit toying that it's on the cover of one of the boxes).

    Here's my guesses. The truck appears to be slamming into the side of the highway, perhaps having swerved for some reason. Black Widow might be shooting at the Ultron in the set next to that set in the catalog page (Sort of like how Quicksilvers speed trail overlaps onto the set next to him). Vision is swinging out based on the motion blur and motion lines added as you can see a slightly trans version of him inbetween him and the truck. Finally he could be unconscious/powered-down/whatever and the Avengers are stealing him from Ultron.
  15. strangely
    Jurassic World isn't in there either and that's been confirmed. It looks as if the catalog only covers up til March/April.
  16. strangely
    Correct!

    I changed the picture, same movie though, hopefully you can see this one.

    It sort of looks like the bike fell out of the Quinjet, possible play feature maybe? I'm hoping the interior in the Quinjet is as big as the last one if not at least a little bigger. To bad they went with blue for Scarlet Witch's powers, I would have much preferred red or pink.

    Yup, they added a gem to that staff that looks nothing like the staff in the movie... That was a little lazy. Well, part of the problem is that there isn't a whole lot of civilian clothing in flesh tone skin. That right off the bat limits the clothing possibilities for Bruce Banner and Steve Rogers and considering Hulk wears specially printed purple pants even if you find purple legs there's no replicating the printing. The second problem here is likenesses. People in general would prefer a minifigure that bares some likeness to the actor there supposed to be (Not that any Lego can completely look like a real person). And for Cap you have the problem that there are few heads with blond eyebrows. People would probably prefer a specially printed minifigure over re-using other characters parts (Especially when all flesh tone minifigures are licensed and intended to look like someone specific). The third problem comes down to the fact that we see Cap without his mask more than with in the movies. And we see Bruce Banner more than Hulk as well. So it seems a little cheap that they don't give us a variation for a look they have for most of the movie. I mean we get two of the exact same Cap, couldn't they have thrown in a different head at least, a maskless one? As for Hulk he's appeared in four sets as bigfigs and appeared in one polybag promotion as a regular minifigure and yet no Bruce Banner? At the end of the day Lego has put off giving us a vital variation to these characters.

    I agree. At the very least they could have chosen a better color since her hair is considerably darker in almost all the footage we've seen. The Elizabeth Swann hairpiece even exists in dark brown... Oh well, I'll just be switching that out moments after getting her.
  23. strangely
    I'm disappointed I'll have to line those stickers up... Where's actual printed parts when you need them? Oh right, they're all in the Friends sets for some reason...
  24. strangely
    Too bad they didn't do a new mold for Loki's staff. And too bad they didn't give Thor leg printing and a different hair piece. He and Cap seem the least improved out of the bunch.
  25. strangely
    My one disappointment about Supergirl is that they didn't use her face from the New 52 design. I would have much preferred the red lips and blond eyebrows over what they gave us (There are so few female minifigures with blond eyebrows).
