BaraSH Posted April 30, 2012 Posted April 30, 2012 (edited) Hello everybody! Today I want to present you my new review. I hope, you will like it! This set I have got from my sister who live in the USA. Translation from Russian into English made by The Penguin. Original version. Set Number: 6858 Theme: Super Heroes Subtheme: DC Universe Year released: 2012 Pieces: 89 Minifigs: 2 RRP: £11.99 / US$12.99 Weight: 0.11Kg During the shipping it got slightly damaged, but it's OK. From the front the view is better as usual. You can see the beautiful "Superheroes" logo. On the back in yellow windows you can see the functions of the set. On one of the sides there are two main heroes: Batman and Superman and one villain - Joker. As the tradition goes on the top there is a 1:1 scale minifig. In this case Batman. Instructions There is nothing unusual about the front pic. it is the same as on the front of the box. After the end there is a small comic story. General view Assembling takes like 5 minutes . I almost forgot to mention about the predecessor of this set - 7779. Minifigures The main heroes: Batman and Catwoman. The purple bike was in the previous set, and the wings are unique to this set. Origins: Batman looks very much like the classical one and catwoman like her comic version. The minifigs turned out to be awesome! Both figures have double heads and back printings. On Batman's back you place that "thing". A camera with attacked bricks to it. Also there are tiles with new prints: Building process: Unlike this set doesn't have a Batmobile but some decorations Traffic lights and some boxes. The only "mechanism" is falling traffic lights. Extra pieces: Quite plenty! Final judgement: To my humble opinion the set is a decent one. It's main benefits are, undoubtedly the purple bike and the minifigs. Buy it if you can. You won't regret it! Comments are welcome! Edited May 1, 2012 by BaraSH Quote
just2good Posted April 30, 2012 Posted April 30, 2012 Nice review, 'BaraSH'! I think this is a decent set. The price is a bit on the high side, but the figures are cool. I also really like the newspaper. Quote
JackJonespaw Posted April 30, 2012 Posted April 30, 2012 Nice review! This was one of the two Superheroes sets I got, and it is worth it if you want to get Batman cheap. Quote
BaraSH Posted May 1, 2012 Author Posted May 1, 2012 (edited) Thanks! The price is a bit on the high side, but the figures are cool. But in Russia it cost about 35 dollars! However I bought it for 12.99$ and I think, it's a good price . Edited May 1, 2012 by BaraSH Quote
The Penguin Posted May 1, 2012 Posted May 1, 2012 Since my keypad is faulty and doesn't type some letters (but it has a Batman logo on it! ) you might wish to corrext some typos. Generally I think it's a decent set. And, oh the horror!, is better than the original version. At least minifigures definitely are! Good day, ladies and gentlemen! ) Quote
Arsenalfan98 Posted May 1, 2012 Posted May 1, 2012 Good review BaraSH 35 dollars in Russia is rediculous . I'll never understand why America gets the licensed sets cheaper than everywhere else in the world Quote
Brickity Posted May 13, 2012 Posted May 13, 2012 (edited) I like the set, specially the traffic light but I actually prefer the old version of catwoman. The new catwoman face is too small, and her glasses aren't silver as the older version.. however, the new batman face seems better than the older one. Edited May 13, 2012 by Otherworld Quote
eldiano Posted May 14, 2012 Posted May 14, 2012 I saw this set go near 20.00 at my local toys r us, I'm refraining from purchasing from that place, it's insane how it's becoming more expensive and stuff now days... Quote
Sam892 Posted May 14, 2012 Posted May 14, 2012 I just got this set over the weekend and love it. I never managed to get the fist Catwoman set from a few years back so I can't compare the two of them. I love the newspapers and the traffic light I don't know why but they add so much more colour to this set. The figures are great and I was a bit disappointed about the lack of cape. To fix the cape issue i bought two of the new Batman key rings and put one on my keys . The second I removed the pin with a soldering iron and then took the blue cape from him and slapped it on my Batman figure. Quote
DarkFader Posted May 14, 2012 Posted May 14, 2012 (edited) Solid review. As for myself, I got this set a couple of weeks ago and it's a very neat little set with two nice minifigs. (Btw, did anyone else get an extra batarang as a spare in the set?) Edited May 14, 2012 by DarkFader Quote
Bilbo Baggins Posted May 15, 2012 Posted May 15, 2012 Nice review, now I'm definetaly buying this set. Quote
