B&P is still not available after the Christmas shut down. Wait until it's back up and you can order as many of whatever they have in stock.

Thankfully I picked up an almost complete 7780 for just under £30 including Croc around 6 months ago!

Bootleg Super Heroes minifigs - worth it or not?

Zebra Batman from Detective Comics No 275... and LB3 -
Let's not forget 4-Lom appearing in a Lego short movie too heralding much anticipation...

I got the feeling that one of our ITK members gave a little nod about that. Rather than a full confirmation we got a bit of a nudge and a wink...

Wasn't that 7111 on that leaflet? 7105 was the smaller minifig scale Tumbler. My latest batman figure. Just don't ask what it cost. -

'Rumours of my death have been greatly exaggerated...' -
That's true enough. There have been figures such as Azog and Bard that were released at SDCC but weren't exclusive... they were just previews. Shame about the Collector though as he was a decent part of GOTG (yes I know we're dabbling in Marvel territory here) so to have him not available was probably a bit of a shame to some kids who will have seen him in The Dark World too. I hope that's not something that happens further down the line with the DCCU.

Help identify this! Rare or fake Lego case.
Robianco replied to Admiral Blockbeard's topic in General LEGO Discussion
I wouldn't say that was a genuine Lego box but I'm sure LEGO Historian will be able to give more info on this especially if it's genuine. -
I'll have to have a look if there are any large Tesco near me that stock the larger sets. For that price you could sell the Jokerland figures and have the build or nothing!

I was born in 1973 so while it was originally shown 5 years before my birth my Saturday mornings as a kid in the UK involved the reruns of the show so yeah... I do remember this as a kid. You only have to look at the success of the Batman '66 comic book to know that there's still a big interest in that era of Batman in all it's camp glory. I personally think it's a pretty good set and still hovers around the 10c per piece ratio so while it'll probably be between £229 and £249 over here I actually think we get quite a bit... we were told that it would be more than just the cave... and it's exactly that. I don't think having Bruce and Dick is a lazy choice or a waste of figure spaces... they spent a lot of time in their civvies in the programme and I think there is definitely a 'changing' area on the poles which will be a good play feature. We're only missing a batboat for their full '66 vehicle roster aren't we? That's pretty comprehensive. If we had Batgirl and Gordon it would be a full house... maybe there's still room for a small batboat set but despite any small reservations it's a winner for me. I'm also not going to be too concerned about the positioning of the poles in relation to the reactor etc.

I'm really happy with my Pogo Black Mask figure and the Dargo Kylo Ren is really rather good. Stormtrooper print is a little darker and at a slightly different scale but looks good... except for the visor area on the helmet... the helmet mould is also a little off on the stormtrooper. The Sabine figure is also really good with good print and moulding throughout including the helmet.... it has a regular 'angry clone' face though rather than a female head so the helmet is definitely in order. If I didn't have the official one it would actually make a good substitute but this one will go to my daughter. -
We live in hope. But as others have said... I just wouldn't be surprised to find the old cowl in use.

The wall just stands out as wrong on that thing but overall I think it looks great. The wall can be modded for rock work and it's a pretty good spread of figures with the notable exceptions of Batgirl and Commissioner Gordon but I never really expected Gordon anyway. You know when you just get one of those feelings that Batgirl will probably appear in a single figure blister pack with card backing and only be available at a single event... probably somewhere in the US... sometime in July...

Bootleg Super Heroes minifigs - worth it or not?
Robianco replied to KingPixels's topic in Community
I'm guessing at Decool. The pelvic joint that the legs connect to on the images goes straight down instead of the curve that Lego has along with SY / DLP to follow the top part of the legs. There's a separation between torso and legs on one of them which shows the Decool bladed hips. I think the sharp shoulders are another giveaway although SY did have sharp shoulders early on but their legs were different. What you receive could be different though. Being Decool would make sense given the age of them and the price. -
I think that may be what he was getting at. Personally I like the look of that design and think it works well as the snug mask option. I don't think Lego quite has a snug mask that doesn't look too bulky. You only have to look at Captain America figures... people have been crying out for a Flash type mould for that.

Bootleg Super Heroes minifigs - worth it or not?

Something is strange in the Universe. I've recently received Pogo and Dargo figures that are actually rather good... Excellent in fact. I think I need a sit down. -
I haven't seen them at a TRU or Smyths since the release date. Fortunately I live a couple of miles from a Lego store. Seems to be the only place to pick them up at the moment. I think patience will be rewarded though as once other retailers get them we'll get the odd price reduction. I'm hoping for the Batmobile to drop around £23 before picking it up... that often happens for £30 sets.

I'd say DLP is definitely working from SY's old moulds if not facilities. DLP and Decool have both recently released similar figures and were completely different in regards to mould and print quality so there's no reason to think they're the same company. Strange as I don't look for any of Decal's releases as I've not liked their product that much over the last couple of years, basically down to SY and DLP being much better, but then they put out that Arrow figure with fantastically accurate and clean arm printing as well as Ras Al Ghul from that set. -
Having both of those ships in the one set will make it a fantastic set. I think the figure line up is starting to write itself on that one with a Phoenix Squadron pilot and Ahsoka along with Vader and a couple of others.
