    Bank on a comic style Green Goblin, too- that piece in the S13 Goblin has to be put to use elsewhere!

    I'm one state away from New Jersey and we don't have as much as one of the new sets. I'm inclined to question the accuracy of such a claim.

    New capes will certainly make it easier to store the Superhero figs. Keep mine in those plastic shoe box-sized totes, and in the Hero bin all of the figs are carefully laid upside down to preserve the capes. These sound a bit easier to manage, at least if they're anything like the Hun Warrior's in Series 13.

    Just picked up the SnowPlow in TRU. Also had the Dune Buggy and Speed Boat sets.

    For my fellow impatient Americans, the US Lego Shop site is listing the following sets as "Coming Soon On 1 Dec 2014:" 60065 ATV Patrol 60075 Excavator and Truck 60082 Dune Buggy Trailer 60083 Snowplow Truck Have to also think that if the official site's rolling them out this week, then TRU won't be far behind.

    No. As you can see above, it just sort alludes to the idea that you can dress it up with them. I think it's meant to be a bit more random, The diagram at the top of the pic is all they give you-- on the back of it is the instructions for Rocket & his gun.

    Hey guys, don't know if it's been announced before or not, but I'm sitting here with a few copies of the 5002145 Rocket Raccoon polybag, a Toys R Us exclusive. My local store (USA) put a huge supply out early, and apparently they weren't even ringing up as available in the system yet. So, I don't know if they're part of a special deal or not, but I can confirm that they are to be held off U.S. shelves UNTIL NOVEMBER 16th. Obviously they pulled the whole batch after letting me buy them. So again, to review:The ROCKET RACCOON POLYBAG will sell in US stores for $4.99 each starting no earlier than NOVEMBER 16thAlso, for hose of you that have seen the image before, you might have wondered what the sticker sheet in the pic was about. Apparently it's a HUGE sticker sheet (41 separate decals) to be added to the Milano set, creating further technical detail and battle damage: http://i60.tinypic.com/70huzs.jpg I'm sure I could be wrong, but I don't ever remember Lego putting a sticker sheet in one set intended for another. I don't see myself using them, as tempting as that "I Love the 80s" one might be...

    My army builders is time were the Space Miner & the Hun. Now have 7 of each, and will probably get about 8 more of the Huns. Otherwise, I have my series set & am content to not collect any more. Well, maybe a few more pizza boys, lol

    Of course they're just prelim pics, but... The Swamp Police are just... Weird. It's not a bad idea, I suppose, but the crook hovels are really the only things I like about the theme. Snow plow is a given, and I like a lot of the smaller vehicle driven sets. But it's kind of funny that the best CITY set are actually coming out of the Creator line-- the Flower Shop & Cafe, and the new Grocery & Toy Shop are among the best City sets what they want, and seemingly the only that are giving fans more of what they want, civilian structures.

    I think it was genius to put Rocket in the $40 set. If it was in an $80-100 USD set, it'd scare moms off.... But at 40 it's enough for kids & AFOLs to want the set just for the fig alone, and the price is small enough to make moms relent.

    Personally the last thing I want is another Batmobile... I recently put together the entire rebooted DC theme minus Arkham & the UCS Tumbler to re-organize the sets for storage (I know I know, I should've taken pics), and it was kind of ridiculous how many vehicles and ordnance The Batman has in Lego form. Land, sea, and air, you name it, he's got multiple options-- he's an army waiting to happen. So yes, I'm thrilled about the JL-themed sets and all of the new possibilities they introduce. Just no more Batmobiles... Unless, of course, it's the '66 Model. THAT'S ENTIRELY DIFFERENT :)

    I've been looking forward to this review for weeks, thanks WF!! The best part is that it means we're only a few weeks away from seeing this set out in the wild!!!
  13. Mr. Elijah Timms
    Dude, trust me... DO NOT MESS WITH THE FIORD POLICE. ;) I'm interested to see exactly what a Swamp Policeman looks like. Such a strange & random choice, but I'm very curious, & at least it's something different. Forest Police may be hard to top.
  14. Mr. Elijah Timms
    I'm assuming somebody reported the user for lying and misleading so many readers. It's not my place to hand out judgement but dang, that's pretty cruel stuff on a rumors thread.
  15. Mr. Elijah Timms
    I can't help but assume that Pirates will be a summer release, perhaps in June? Do you have any release date info?
  16. Mr. Elijah Timms
    If there is a set actual led named "Avengers Tower," I'd expect it to be just a play set with a scene that takes place in the Tower structure. Just like Hulk's Helicarrier Breakout. Temper your expectations...
  17. Mr. Elijah Timms
    HAWKMAN, GREEN LANTERN AND BLACK MANTA!!!??? IN THE SAME WAVE NO LESS!!? EXCEPTIONAL!!!
  18. Mr. Elijah Timms
    I've picked up & built all of the Arctic heme minus the Icebreaker (for now, at least), and I can honestly say I'm quite pleased with these sets. You really get the feeling it's a big expedition team who's setting up base camp for a long-term operation. I can see kids having great play value with them as well, even without any sort of antagonist faction involved. If I could change anything, I just wish there were more head prints. Almost all of these Arctic adventurers are either wearing orange goggles, green goggles, or are women wearing orange goggles. I just wish there was more variety-- typically I'd just swap the repetitive heads out and disperse them among the other factions in my City collection, but the goggle prints really limit their usefulness. But otherwise Arctic has been a convincing WIN for me.

    My Police Dept.'s Marine Division wears the distinct uniform of zipped up black jacket, life jacket worn above, and a white baseball cap. If the new torso is interesting enough I might go ahead and swap out, but it's no priority.

    TLG can't catch a break. They beef up a set count to deliver amazing playability and functions, somebody complains about the inflated price point. They design a set with less detail to keep the price down, somebody complains about not enough detail or complexity. I guess you can't make everyone happy. Personally, I'd much rather see less interior details and try to deliver us a beautiful display set at a competitive price. For my family, the Winter sets do not count towards the Lego budget or kids wish lists, so I truly appreciate a complete house, the full sleigh and 6 minifigs for that price. Price is the biggest consideration for these sets-- sadly, I passed on last year's Winter entry because it just cost too darn much. I appreciate Lego recognizing the rising costs in this theme and bringing it back down to earth for some of us.

    DEAR LORD SOMEONE CONFIRM THIS AS LEGITIMATE INFORMATION. Black Manta in Lego form??! This is Lego fulfilling the potential of this license!!
  22. Mr. Elijah Timms
    That Green Lantern set is gonna sell like hot cakes. Well done keeping the piece count small yet exciting, Lego!
  23. Mr. Elijah Timms
    BOOOM!!!! Huge news!! And yet no sign of Brainiac... Which leads me to believe here's a 2nd B3-based set on the horizon!!
  24. Mr. Elijah Timms
    Yessir. I think the Freighter and Scout Walker are a given to show up as sets.
  25. Mr. Elijah Timms
    For those interested in REBELS, I took my son to Batman Day at. Barnes & Noble and instead stumbled onto the SW REBELS VISUAL GUIDE book. He's been drooling over the series ever since he's seen the trailer, so we sat down and thumbed through the whole book. The reason I'm sharing is that, besides the Ghost and Wookie ship, there were other vehicles previewed in the book that I bet will most likely show up as sets in the future. There was also a AT-BP (Battle Pod, I think), which is a variant of the AT-ST & had a new pilot design, speeders not unlike those in the Clone Wars (with that strange disk-like base in front of the rider), and an Imperial Freighter ship. Traditional TIEs and Star Destroyers will figure into the series as well. Also, it's worth noting that, at least according to the book, the Inquisitor will be piloting a TIE Advanced, just like Vader's in the OT.
