  1. Wu isn't confirmed to be dead. His absence from the sets means nothing. He'll probably be in the show. He doesn't need to be in the sets, though. Forget Wu, we need CULTISTS!
  2. Darkseid is definitely about $70, and I doubt Black Manta are both $40. Brainiac seems to be $30. So that list might be estimating.
  3. I forgot to mention the lava bridge set. That mechanism to create an unrolling bridge is brilliant but so, so simple! And don't even mention the mystery dojo man. While the Ninjago problem last time was an Overlord, this time it's an overload! Too many new plot elements and characters!!! I'm still amazed by the Anacondrai temple, and immensely curious about Skylar's power.
  4. Oh, boy is the show gonna get contrived....Resurrection of Zane, a new unheard-of character becoming a ninja, Anacondrai cultists...awesome sets, though! Enter the Serpent looks amazing. Although I think they made entirely too many new moulds for this theme, the Anacondrai Priest's weird boa-hat, the purple energy blade, the new trans-blades, the Anacondrai heads, the snake helmets...yikes. I hope for the sake of the theme that this is its last year. It's gone on far too long, and it risks becoming unwelcome if they drag it out for much longer.
  5. Batman is not only an anchor for the theme, but it's what LEGO is comfortable with. I'm actually proud of them for moving out of that comfort zone to please more fans and give us more variety. I'm sure after this wave, any future JL sets will be much more substantial with the builds. And the only reason Batman is so present is that LEGO is trying to use the heck outta that new cowl.
  6. I liked the move, the nods to the community, and yes, even the twist albeit the confusing nature of it. But to each their own. Just gimme the DDC set, already!!!
  7. I still wish she had the iconic lasso for those who missed out on the Lex Luthor set. I have it, but still, look at this: I would have preferred both.
  8. Maybe they aren't showing his good face in the pics? Or does he have two "bad" faces? I can't tell.
  9. He's the victim in the set, whose only purpose is to be trapped underwater, so I think the printing depicts a scuba suit (and it looks like it does), and only the accessories and hair are optional, On the reverse, Batman does not have scuba gear, since he's staying in the sub and using Aquaman to release Robin.
  10. Yep, look up! We've finally got the set pictures for all except Brainiac Attack!
  11. What hair is Robin's? Is it the tousled standard hair?
  12. I'm sure the set description will confirm if the Super Secret Police motorcycle is the Copper-Chopper. I would have like a western set with those awesomely hilarious police horses, though.
  13. Toxikita's? The same color as her helicopter. The new Agent armor is white.
  14. Grodd: Classic Cold looks great, and so does Grodd. The picture discrepancy is easily explained. The Shop at Home style images frequently have errors, such as the Space Batman wings in the first image, and even Hawkman's. The banana company worker might be my favorite minifig in the set! The truck is meh, but I quite like the mech and jet. I'll definitely get this. Darkseid: This one looks great, too. Cyborg is absolutely perfect, and Hawkman judging by the box art, is too. Arrow looks great. Darkseid is interesting, but not my favorite. The Javelin looks good, but I'd need to see its interior. The cannon platform is nice, too. Black Manta: YES! Manta and his sub are perfection! I love the windscreen choice and the tubing motif. The temple gate is useless padding that looks good, and the shark is fantastic, Robin looks interesting, though his hair is confusing. Batman is obviously never leaving the sub without scuba gear this time. The Batsub looks great, too. Green Lantern: Already seen it, but I wonder why the wings have been updated for the out-of-box image now, but not so for Hawkman's? THANK YOU, Just2good! You are living up to your name for this!
  15. The couch is there to replicate the opening/ending scenes in Emmet's apartment (hence the food and smiling President) and the couch scene after the sinking of the submarine (which is why we have Sad Kitty). The car and Vitruvius are just filler that couldn't work for another set, and not everyone was at the building event. I'd rather get them out-of-place here than not at all.
  16. He's the one with the helmet and the robot-arms backpack in the first Toxikita set.
  17. We knew it! Does that mean they'll have to make seven-flower sprue pieces to accomodate the new stems?
  18. I am so pissed that I won't be able to check at 12 tomorrow. Earliest I'll see pics will be around 3ish. Busy. I can't wait to see the bigfigs.
  19. I'm positive Toxikita is still in the set. She had a fully developed vehicle, no way LEGO is bailing on that. Spyclops is certainly going to look different, since the preliminary version had no exclusive prints. There are three new agents, and I think all of them will get newer printing. But I'm only guessing. The UA images looked more final than some of the other themes', so I wouldn't expect drastic changes.
  20. What kind of shark is in the BM set? The standard fish-eating one, or the Pirates minifig-eating one?
  21. The new Unikitty does indeed have two heads, like the exclusive. While that one had two happy expressions, the set version has two sad ones.
  22. Odd. I would have thought they would have the final bigfigs by now.
  23. It's in the second image for the set.
  24. Wait. I just realized Vitruvius uses the 1x2x2 brick with printing on it, since the slope wouldn't allow for his shroud to fit. Was that in the movie? I never noticed that.
  25. GHOST VITRUVIUS! LEGO's way of saying "Screw you, people who didn't see it, it's been a year!" Seriously, that set is a perfect expansion pack. Two degrees of Unikitty sadness, Benny, Prez with a happy face, Benny, and the Car! And waffles! Perfection. The Car Chase is meh. I like the chair. That's pretty much it.
