    The Monster Fighters swamp monster is included in the Lighthouse set. It wasn't a stand-in - if the final figure wasn't ready yet (such as with Deathstroke in the DC range) then all that was shown on the accompanying artwork was a name, not a stand-in. There were no physical representations of new figures at all.

    When I said everything was close together, I meant all sets were displayed next to each other, so some components may have been in other sets. I do remember: a small, one-story LEGO Store with another, larger building joined to it, a yellow LEGO delivery van, an orange/black tram and tram stop, and a coffee stand (a small kiosk with a roof, pretty nifty). Brickset also noted a garage which may have been the larger building. There was no police station to my recollection... sorry guys, nothing particularly new to add but the coffee kiosk was pretty awesome.

    The tram in City Square didn't have any track that I could see. The boat up above doesn't look like the one in the set as far as I recall - I seem to remember it being a darker blue (navy, almost), though the general shape seems similar. The divers sets do indeed include terrain - one even had some kind of mini shark/whale skeleton protruding from a rocky structure (I think!). All in all, the divers sets excited me the most - they looked great. City Square looked interesting but it was hard to get a handle on what exactly was included as everything was displayed so close together.

    I didn't get a very long look at it but I think it used trans black bricks for the cockpit window, rather than a single windshield piece. Could be wrong though.

    No DC Juniors set as far as I could see. I saw the Spider-Man one but like Chris on Brickset, it slipped my mind... probably as it was right at the start of the stand. There was a Duplo DC set with Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman, though I can't remember what the set itself was like.
  6. The Kid
    The Imperial Officer shown on the prelim box art was dark tan, IIRC.
  7. The Kid
    That does look pretty similar to my recollections of the Jokerland Batmobile... my first impression was that it was pretty similar to the 2012 one in shape/style, and thus a fairly redundant price bumper.
  8. The Kid
    The card previewing the minifigures showed the swamp monster from Monster Fighters, if that's any help.
  9. The Kid
    It's a humanized head along the lines of the one in LEGO Batman 3.
  10. The Kid
    Not sure about minifigure distribution but the Mystery Machine also comes with a glow in the dark zombie. IIRC it's around 22 mins, so I'd guess that it'll be along the lines of the Marvel: Maximum Overload animation (not sure if that's the same as Clutch Powers?).
  11. The Kid
    Reindeer R2 is just a regular R2 with brick-built antlers. Santa 3PO has a new torso (and possibly new legs, not sure), but is otherwise just a regular 3PO head with the most recent Santa beard. Pretty disappointing all told.
  12. The Kid
    The Ant-Man set is definitely based on the movie.

    Okay, here's what I remember about Scooby Doo, aside from what Brick Fanatics has already mentioned... The mansion is open-backed and fairly large (not sure it's quite worth the £99.99 price point but then LEGO's prices for everything this summer seem to have had an extra £10-20 stuck on for good measure). It's comprised of three sections with a central spire and two side rooms. I don't remember many of the play features but when the rep picked it up (which he managed to do with one hand, to give some perspective on size) a coffin fell out from somewhere. He also mentioned 'broken glass windows', though I'm not sure whether that was an element or a sticker. The Mystery Machine looked pretty small but did come with a walking tree (i.e. you could push a toggle on the back to open/close the branches and make it look as if the tree was animated) to chase the gang, which was pretty fun. There's plenty of bright colours as you'd expect - the plane is the same colour scheme as the Mystery Machine - though the lighthouse stood out as a more neutral set with a pretty impressive design. The mansion had a black/purple colour scheme, IIRC. I'm not sure how accurate the scale of the prelim figure art was supposed to be, but Scooby looked as tall as a minifigure. My guide also confirmed that a LEGO Scooby Doo film will be released later this year.
  14. The Kid
    Exactly. The final figure design wasn't shown, but the prelim box art showed Han with a tan Jedi robe torso - hence my belief that the trenchcoat will be printed, a la Obi-Wan's robe in the new Mos Eisley Cantina. This is Kallus' hair, so yeah, pretty easy to replicate. The prelim box art didn't indicate whether they'd come with both helmet and hair (there were no backs to the boxes), but the figure displays along the top showed Kallus with hair and Sabine with a (placeholder) castle knight helmet (it took me a minute to figure out whom it was supposed to be!). It sounds like the guys at Brickset had much longer in the LEGO stand than I was given so they'll probably have more detailed SW info in the morning.
  15. The Kid
    The Ant-Man set is £20 IIRC. I was told it's based on the film, and includes Ant-Man and 'his vehicle'. Not sure about other figures but presumably the villain and an ally of some sort (my knowledge of Ant-Man is essentially zero, apologies). It definitely looks more like the first one... the horn/head was what stood out to me most. The rest looks as organic as it can with LEGO while remaining a decent size. To be honest I really like it, and definitely prefer it to a bigfig.
  16. The Kid
    One point of note with regards to Toy Fair and Bionicle - I inquired as to the possibility of new films etc. and the rep seemed quite keen to downplay the franchise as 'low priority' for LEGO, with a smaller budget because of that.
  17. The Kid
    I *think* Poison Ivy may have had green skin, but that could just be my brain filling in details where I'd like them to be. Batman's boot printing was solid black on the prelim art stand. Sadly said art was 2D so I'm not sure if it wraps around the sides.
  18. The Kid
    Rest easy - I was there, and Bionicle had a pretty sizeable display, with all 2015 sets (including winter and summer). Because of that I'm not really sure what was new and what wasn't, but there was a large spider as Barry said, and another, 'humanoid' villain with a red and black colour scheme which looked pretty cool.
  19. The Kid
    The Carnage set looked like a $13 set size-wise, so I'm guessing it'll be around $15 - along the lines of the Hobbit Witch King set. Didn't catch a look at Sandman himself, apologies - I was attending for a film website so my focus was on Star Wars, Scooby Doo and Avengers. Sadly I was very much given a whistle-stop tour of everything else, though I suspect the folks at Brickset will be able to give more info.
  20. The Kid
    No physical figures were present and the Carnage set didn't even have any prelim art apart from Miles Morales. It was just titled 'Shield Agent' though, so probably generic. There was a small flying vehicle of some sort but I didn't get a great look at it. The AoU sets were there but I didn't get too good a look as I figured we'd already seen pics. The Hulkbuster looks much better in person though. Rhino was more organic - not robotic like the ASM2 mech, so most likely not based on the film. The set is a construction site, with a crane and plenty of tan bricks for Sandman. Iron Spider did indeed have extra arms (in red, though that may change) like Carnage/Venom etc. See above for AoU - sorry!
  21. The Kid
    I was at Toy Fair today. Don't have much else to add to the BF report as far as Marvel goes, but the brick-built Rhino looked very well done.
  22. The Kid
    The Shuttle looked very decent for the few seconds I saw it. My rep said that set and the Final Duel are being released to tie the original films to TFA. Sadly I didn't see the Flash Speeder's figures but it looked pretty substantial size-wise.
  23. The Kid
    The Carnage set also has a Shield Agent.
  24. The Kid
    Few bits of info to add to the BF report: Jokerland Batman figure has boot printing, Harley preliminary art showed her regular version (not New 52), Ivy had Elizabeth Swan's hair (IIRC). Harbour Chase is £29.99 as far as I recall.
  25. The Kid
    To add to the Brick Fanatics report... The Final Duel set includes the Emperor, Luke, Vader and two Royal Guards. Vader has a new two-piece helmet - it's similar to the current one except with a neck brace. The Shuttle includes Han (trenchcoat will be printed by the looks of it), Leia (with poncho), Chewbacca (didn't notice any differences or 'camo') and two Endor rebels. The Assault Carrier includes Agent Kallus (hair, not helmet), two TIE Pilots, a green Astro, an Imperial Officer and Sabine (with helmet).
