I could only really say THIS! if it's was SY releasing them. Margo could yet make a horrifically bad job of them which would be worse than not getting them at all for me! ;)

I don't think viability of a set can be considered a rumour. I also think the discussion part is simply conversation about those rumours... However people look at it, hoping there might be a Daredevil or Spider Gwen has no foundation... however likely or unlikely so it's not part of a rumour and therefore shouldn't be discussed. I think the moderation has been done incredibly lightly and I think it's got to the point where some of them have just had enough as when they do step in they can get a bit of grief for various things.

With regards to some of the figures I think we can expect them to be copies of a certain customiser on eBay: Deadshot on bottom row: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Lego-Custom-LEGO-DEADSHOT-ARKHAM-ORIGINS-Dark-Knight-Batman-/261948191607 Sentry: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Lego-custom-LEGO-SENTRY-marvel-/261948191620 Kyle Rainer White Lantern: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Lego-Custom-LEGO-WHITE-LANTERN-BATMAN-3-Superman-green-/252010612718 Arsenal: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Lego-Custom-ARSENAL-green-red-ARROW-batman-justice-/261900711680 Namor: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Lego-custom-LEGO-NAMOR-from-X-MEN-GREEN-SPEEDO-/251998404844 Red Hood: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Lego-Custom-LEGO-RED-HOOD-BATMAN-3-Dark-Knight-Robin-/261939484133?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3cfccf55e5&nma=true&si=OPNmSjPkc016U88rFsg68Gk8OIo%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 Deadshot Top Row: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Lego-Custom-LEGO-DEADSHOT-BATMAN-3-Dark-Knight-Robin-/261917348479?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3cfb7d927f&nma=true&si=OPNmSjPkc016U88rFsg68Gk8OIo%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 Riddler: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Lego-custom-RIDDLER-from-Batman-Dark-Knight-Arkham-Joker-LIME-GREEN-JUMPSUIT-/251889645181?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3aa5caf67d&nma=true&si=OPNmSjPkc016U88rFsg68Gk8OIo%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 Black Adam: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Lego-Custom-Black-Adam-from-Batman-II-2-the-video-game-/252003198641?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3aac8fa6b1&nma=true&si=OPNmSjPkc016U88rFsg68Gk8OIo%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 and some others from a different customiser: Deadpool Bottom Row (Right): http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Lego-CUSTOM-PRINTED-X-Force-Men-INSPIRED-WEAPON-X-DEADPOOL-Minifig-LAST-ONE-/201381612078?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2ee3478a2e Deadpool Bottom Row (Grey): http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/A1003-Lego-CUSTOM-PRINTED-X-Force-Men-INSPIRED-CUSTOM-DEADPOOL-MINIFIG-Wolverine-/361301008202?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item541f37df4a&nma=true&si=OPNmSjPkc016U88rFsg68Gk8OIo%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 Moon Knight: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/A1116-Lego-CUSTOM-PRINTED-Marvel-Superhero-Game-INSPIRED-MOON-KNIGHT-MINIFIG-/201382294743?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2ee351f4d7 Mystique: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/A1236-Lego-CUSTOM-PRINTED-X-Men-Days-of-Future-Past-INSPIRED-MYSTIQUE-MINIFIG-/201357338079?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2ee1d525df Aqualad and Miss Martian have already been cloned by SY and are originally by EclipseGrafx.

I'm thinking SY will nail it and Decool will do it quite well. If SY had released that Dargo poster I'd be thinking we're in for something special. I just hope Dargo get enough torso and head prints right so we can add genuine hair, legs etc to make them better.

Never mind Dargo... That Igor Iron Man looks really good!

Well the seller has decent feedback but I'm always wary of someone selling multiple copies of sealed set so cheap. Even if you get the item I wouldn't be too surprised if someone else has paid full amount for it somewhere else especially if this set arrives to you direct from Lego or another retail vendor.

After looking at that SDCC box I'd say the R2 head turn is just how the CGI render was set up so that R2 looked at the 'camera' while having him stand at 3/4 view.

I don't care how good the Chinese companies get... they won't come close to PCB's Arachnid Hero. It's probably the best printed figure I own. All of PCB's figures are top drawer and the level of print all over that figure is second to none.

That store always tops my list of stores with unique parts when searching through but I never even click on it anymore due to their pricing. Some stores now have the option of asking for a quote on shipping which is a help.

Rey's speeder would be a simple and obvious option as it seems like it's just a functional vehicle with no relevance to plot... also with the first 'brick' images it would lend itself to that kind of reveal. I would expect them to have a larger set there too... The Falcon is also another vehicle that doesn't offer much of a plot reveal but as an iconic vessel it's about as good as it gets. It also has a reference point with regards to 7965 so we can see where it has been improved. Let's face it... any of the vehicles would be great to see in brick.

I quite like the Chibi nature of those although I'm not sure what they're meant to be or where the design inspiration came from... looks like another excuse to put out 4 Batman figures. The big thing letting them down is the presence of that Dargo logo! ;)

Should have PM'd me again, mate... I just put an order in for them!

Ton Zhou has always been reliable when sending stuff out for me. Tracking numbers haven't always worked as I'd like them but the parcels always arrive.

The arms fit nicely into Lego torsos now too. Just placed my order on AE and got 3 of the Maria Hill sets. I'll sell the other figures on for £1 each. Considering the set of 8 cost £4.20 that's pretty good. My classic Nick Fury and Dum Dum Dugan will look very nice with those arm patches.

Why would they need permission from Lego if the mini figure is non-Lego? If you mean a custom figure that hasn't been done by Lego then that's up to the License holders to enforce... and if they don't then I don't see how or why someone else should or would be affected by it. People have been printing custom minifigures for years... years and years. If it was something Lego felt the need to stop they've had plenty of time to start action against them but haven't. Same as if you owned the rights to a song it's up to you if you let someone sing it... if you just let them then that's fine... It's not up to anyone else to raise an issue with you letting them.

I still reckon that last SY set was an experiment for various things and looking at these two AOU sets it worked. Double sided heads and arm prints. I'll be picking up a couple of these just for the Maria Hill arm patch for SHIELD agents while selling the rest on.

I think they COULD go after them but the issue of the Chinese government allowing prosecution of those companies is questionable as cloning of products is rife... From cars to electronics. I don't see this having any effect on customisers and not should it. The fact that a custom figure may feature a design of a copyrighted character is a different matter... That's up o the license holder. That article didn't give any indication of not being able to print on Lego and then sell it, as others have said... You just can't mould your own following Lego's design nor can you use a minifigure likeness on your merchandise without permission.

Lego has done this set previously as part of the Batman range before the Super Heroes DC range: http://lego.wikia.co...e's_Hideout Decool have previously released the Bane figure that was in the original set.

I like the idea... I'd actually look at using a Stahlhelm for him as he's a WWII figure rather than a SiDan M35 helmet. Although the M35 is meant to be a Stahlhelm the shaping is closer to a modern warfare helmet... I've made that mistake in the past when ordering them.

I drew them up from the CGI images that were released. I just didn't get round to doing a back for Sam Wilson... it's all guesswork anyway as we haven't seen the back of the fig.

The new set of Flacon Commandos look good. Interesting that they each have a gear station with all their weapons mounded. Nice touch. The crossbow on the bottom right is such a nice piece on it's own so great so see that range of accessories in a set.

How much do I wish it was SY making that Bat Tank?!

As promised.

Yeah. I'll set those up and work some back decals up for them too.

They're one of the SY sets of four. I'll post a link to some sellers on AE or eBay when I get to my computer.
