REVIEW: 6863 Batwing Battle Over Gotham City
TheBatstan replied to montgocloud's topic in LEGO Licensed
As for that mysterious Batarang from the '06 line, the book says it's a "Spinning Batarang" referring to it when it's been thrown -
Thanks!

After taking a look at all the 2014 Marvel sets, the Doc Ock set looks the best (with the Cap set in 2nd). It has everything I need. I never picked up the other Spidey sets so Ill get a Spider Man, a classic Doc Ock instead of Ozzy Octavius from the last set, a bank truck which can be useful for a number of situations and the Driver has a Bruce Wayne face which I need after my dog ate the last one.

Well with Superman vs Batman being moved so suddenly, we'd have to get some new variety sets for next year and as Super Heroes being described as an evergreen theme there should be no doubt. As for which GL, it's probably going to be either Hal in his New 52 look or John if they're feeling generous.
-
I know Hal is but why not call him Green Lantern then?
-
Just Hal and not GL?

No problem. I also modded the 6864 Batmobile to make a Arkham Asylum game version http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=87521#entry1773608

Wow. Thanks everyone for your suggestions keep em coming!, ill be sure to add them in! For those who were wondering what I used for the engine, I used this http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=48169 found in The Bat set
-
Yeah I'm probably going to either make a sleeker version of it or make an homage to the original bike from Arkham Asylum
-
I'm thinking about using Karai's bike (removing all that excess junk off of it first of course). The bike even has red rims so it fits even more with Nightwing

Hey guys, this probably wont be the last time that I'm going to work on this but until then, i present to you the 76012 Batmobile v1! 76012 Batmobile by LegoAO2365, on Flickr Starting off, the biggest difference is the cockpit, as I've replaced the distracting orange to a more subtle colour. 76012 Batmobile back by LegoAO2365, on Flickr The back area took me the longest to fix. I removed the flick system and replaced all the random mish-mash of red and black with solid black. I also removed the vents at the top and made it smooth and put the signature engine with taillights, the final change is that i added a black 3x2 Inverted Slope to the bottom because i felt the back lifts up way to loosely and though you cant see it, no matter how hard you try unless you use force, you cant lift it. The final area is the cockpit. I swapped out the weird yellow and grey palette to black and changed the steering. The steering went through two versions, and i want your opinions as to which looks better, Steering A 76012 Batmobile cockpit v2 by LegoAO2365, on Flickr or B 76012 Batmobile cockpit by LegoAO2365, on Flickr These two are only temporary until i get my hands on the Technic set Black Champion Racer and change the tires to black and give the cockpit a pilots yoke piece, and replacing the light gray sides with black Thanks for viewing and remember to comment with suggestions!

Well there's at least one more version they didn't do, the classic pixie boots Robin! And I have a possible theory as to why we didn't get a New 52 JL yet. This year seems to be strictly New 52 Bat-family. The Flash seems to be the classic suit because of the torso print, look at Batgirl as a comparison. Her torso print is very detailed and 99% accurate as to how she looks in the New 52. Flash on the other hand has a lightning streak pattern on his suit in the New 52. Given how accurate Lego did the Batgirl, Robin (Damian) and Nightwing torso's Flash shouldn't have been an exception. I think they're holding out till 2015 to release a big set with all 7 Justice League members. Till then, it looks like they're squeezing classic variants in the sets. Just my 2 cents though. Oh and as a side note, LOVE that cowled Wolverine and i hope they keep the white eyes as he looks kind of odd without it

Man-bat Attack and Riddler Chase are now available at the US S@H site http://shop.lego.com/en-US/DC-Universe-Super-Heroes-ByTheme?_requestid=876367
-
Well up here, the Penguin set is apparently at the Lego Store near where i live, along with the Riddler Chase. it's just my darn TRU's that only carry the Man-Bat Attack so far
-
Hey, you think a character like that who receives THAT much of promotion doesn't get to be in a set?
-
Uh but if you look in the pic you can definitely see Batman in a set along with the other movie charaters
-
Aww. That giant Batmobile from the trailer looked beast but hey, we're getting Johnny Thunder! I was really young when those sets came out so at least there's something to look foreword too. If they aren't doing the Batmo-Tank then they could do the Batwing with Batman, Emmet Wyldstyle and Vitruvius
-
Nice find! They say its another Batmobile but it looks more like a new Bat Tank, which is what I'm definetly using it for and it also looks like Frank Millers Batmobile Tank from the Dark Knight Retuens :). I can kind of see the minifigs: Batman (of course) Emmet, Wyldstyle and some sort of green-ish fig I can't really see
-
Nice list! Mine would have to be 1. Riddler Chase 2. Juniors Batcave ( kind of counts) 3. Tie between the Steamroller and Penguin 4. Man Bat Attack
-
Oh come on! I live a half hour away from Toronto! Well next year ill ask for a Lego Store Gift Card instead of a TRU but I am goig to try and get the Riddler Chase and the Penguin Faceoff set ASAP
-
Judging on the UK prices from the previous page, it's probably $50 which is probably $65 CAD :(
-
Lucky guy! the Toysrus up here in Canada always gets this stuff later, i only managed to get the Man Bat set, which was probably my least wanted set. Which set do you think is the best and the worst so far from what you built?
-
And Lego could also include with Supes and WW a New 52 Batman since this wave missed its chance. It could also include Darkseid (big fig please), a boom tube and a few brick built Parademons (Darkseid's "henchmen" so to speak)
-
Thanks everyone! Im probably going to post another MOC but just a small one of a Batcycle in a few days maybe
-
Well I've managed to get the Man-Bat Attack set and finally got around to buying the Power Armor Lex set (I know im 2 years late almost ) and here are my thoughts on the sets Man-Bat: This set to me is still very lackluster, the only reason why i bought this set is for Nightwing who looks amazing sans the hair which I replaced with Mutt Williams in black, but for some reason Lego thought it was hard to give him 2 trans-red lightsaber blades for his sticks . Besides him everything else is pretty meh, Batman is a wasted retread and this was a great opportunity to get a New 52 Batman as almost every other Bat-Family member gets a New 52 retread, Man-Bat was a villain I've never really cared for but he looks ok. The Batcopter looks odd but i mowed it for parts to use on the Batwing and also did the same to Nightwing's glider. Out of all the 2014 sets, this is probably the weakest set IMO. (Rant over) Power Armor Lex: Why didnt i pick this set up in the first place!?! This set is probably one of the best $20 SH sets made and im glad i picked it up before it got retired. The minifigs are superb and are a nice change up with Superman, WW and Lex. The mech (which i thought would be taller) reminds me a lot of the old Exo-Force sets and it is awesome and the inclusion of the little green Kryptonite rock is a good touch. Get this set before it's gone if you want a JL or at least a Trinity group!
