Thanks for the heads up. I guess I need to go to the LEGO store. I'm still missing the Frankenstein set and would like to get it before it goes.

I prefer 8038 for the shape of the head. The 7657 just has too big of a chin. It's the Jay Leno of walkers. That said, 7657 will always have a special place in my heart, as it's the first set I bought to bring me [back] into LEGO :)

Flash himself could come the same way that Wonder Woman and Aquaman came: piggybacking on a more popular hero.

Would love that idea. ;) I just think that in execution, the two books would have Batman and Spiderman *eyeroll*

I don't think so. Kids want superheroes, not people in suits wielding guns.

Hoping for a Batcopter next year. If its the $20 set it will probably just be the Batcopter chasing a flying villain (Manbat?) or could be a larger set with Scarecrow's plane again. I still want to see Green Lantern; I'm saddened that the cartoon got cancelled. Please bring back some $70-100 sets. The Batcave and Quinjet were cool.

^good news on the alarm clocks. My stormtrooper clock may get a friend or two ;)

The UCS Death Star. I was just getting back into LEGO when it was $150 (about 50% off of RRP IIRC). At that time I was thinking I would never spend that much on a LEGO set. Since then, I've bought three sets at $400 and several other sets over $150. Dropping $150 on a LEGO set now doesn't seem like much.

Doesn't say so, howie. I know that for the Hulk polybag last year, I bought a combo of City and Friends and got it.

Keep in mind it doesn't mention that your purchase doesn't have to be superheroes. Of course, if that's what you want then rock on. ;) Still waiting for the Robin polybag. Pretty safe to assume that it won't be a LEGO promotion. Maybe it will show up before Christmas at stores. Or maybe it will be like that pesky Quinjet that never made it here

Thanks, grogall. I'm most excited about that little Superman bonus minibuild. Probably wont be spending $75 to get Jor-El though. No big loss

You'll never be allowed on ameribricks again ;) I will get the game but not sure if I'll keep the fig or sell it. A lot of times I sell the fig to get an "instant discount" on the game. Maybe I'll like it and keep it though

see this?

Yes, the movie company matters. LEGO doesn't have the rights to next year's X-Men movie. The Wolverine set we got was comic based. Similarly, LEGO didn't have the rights to recent Spidermman movie; Megabloks did. That's why the Spidey sets we got are based on the cartoon.

Man, that is cool. I'm not really a big LotR collector, but this is great news for those of you who are.

Along with the ironic naming of the largest and smallest Man of Steel sets

Doesn't/hasn't bothered me either way. I wouldn't even have known about Iron Patriot being in the movie if it weren't for reading LEGO message boards. I guess I will have to wait and see what his role is in the movie before I get upset about his absence.

If only.... You could have thwarted Tha Briiiick Shoooow

Nice review, Plissken. Thanks! Yeah, you didn't change my mind either. I have planned on just getting the Smallville set and not the other two. I can do without Lois since there isn't anything that special about the figure. Plus, to me, Lois will always have black hair. I much prefer last year's 6862 Superman, but can't fault LEGO for following the movie look. The pod doesn't look so bad. Not as much of a jumbled mess like I first thought. The command center is meh. How do the flick fires work? Are they fired differently than the usual ones we get? I see they've used the cross-axle like its 2007 Zod's armor is just lovely.

It's the same one that was in the Cosmic Cube Escpae set

I only had a chance to see them briefly at the LEGO store the other day. I believe there was some sort of pin holding them to the panel through their legs

I really like the Smallville set. The Metropolis set is okay but I don't really want another plain car like that. Would benice to have the JL characters, but I don't really like the Injustice styles of characters.
