rob-ot5000 Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 So here's a question: does anyone have any further information about the supposed Mr. Freeze '66 polybag? The '66 Batcave set has been announced, and it's got an early VIP release in a little over a week, but still nothing concrete about this figure. Just trying to plan ahead. Surely someone here knows something...?
BatofGotham Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 Uhmm "The Bat" has blue highlights but it's still Batman's, just because the chopper has blue highlights it doesn't mean it's Beetle's Blue Beetle has a jetpack built in his scarab

Surely someone here knows something...? I was wondering the same. Do we even know the minimum spend needed to get it?

Robianco Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 My only worry on Mr Freeze is that it'll be a giveaway with the Batcave but only once the regular sale date hits rather than the VIP advance sale date. It would annoy me having to wait the extra two weeks to buy it to be able to pick that up. Hopefully it's just a late announcement on the availability.

Has the announcement for VIP on the Batcave already gone around?
Cobb Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 I just had contact with the Lego customers service about another issue. I asked about the batcave and about the mr. Freeze polybag. -he had no knowledge of a mr. Freeze polybag -Batcave VIP early sale is only in the US (for now).
dario2739 Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 Uhmm "The Bat" has blue highlights but it's still Batman's, just because the chopper has blue highlights it doesn't mean it's Beetle's Blue Beetle has a jetpack built in his scarab Maybe it would have been nice to give us Ted Kord Blue Beetle, then we could have had his Beetle-ship.
Robianco Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 Has the announcement for VIP on the Batcave already gone around? Maybe I was mistaken. After reading about the VIP advance I was chatting to a guy at the Liverpool Lego store and he seemed to think there would be an advance sale. I never normally mention conversations with store staff as a rumour or confirmation as most of them don't know much more than we do and invariably know less.
BatofGotham Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 @dario2739 Just remove the Bat symbol sticker. I don't think Lego is gonna make a Ted Kord Blue Beetle anytime soon. Can someone already show me how to do a direct reply instead of using "@"

CM4Sci Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 I was just gonna say, this isn't on the March calendar..
IMBATMAN Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 I was just gonna say, this isn't on the March calendar.. What isn't? The Mr. Freeze thing?
Captain Britain Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 Thanks all... that gives me a few more days to save
BrickSantorum Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 (edited) What isn't? The Mr. Freeze thing? Yeah, in the U.S., at least, the March promos are just a Ninjago poly and 2x VIP points. I'm guessing TLG didn't feel like they needed to have an additional incentive to drive Batcave orders, since double points usually does the trick for the big ticket items.

Freeze polybag. -he had no knowledge of a mr. Freeze polybag -Batcave VIP early sale is only in the US (for now). Wait was the freeze polybag ever confirmed as even being real let alone a promotional polybag via orders from the website? I mean we were all convinced it was legit but has it been confirmed?

I mean we were all convinced it was legit but has it been confirmed? I'm not sure about anything official i.e. from Lego... but it's too good a figure (print and design) for this not to be legit. It's not like the iffy Batman figures we saw. It's not a custom or a bootleg either as it's not been around for sale.

That and the thing on the desk in the office which has Mr Freeze on is a spitting image of the minifigure that leaked too!

But if this is a promotion with the bat cave release is it not odd we haven't had an official reveal yet? Edited February 8, 2016 by Nsk97
CM4Sci Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 (edited) I've been seeing multiple eBay listings for it so yes it's real. I also believe Tragic Banjo was the one who said it was a polybag. Edited February 8, 2016 by CM4Sci

But if this is a promotion with the bat cave release is it not odd we haven't had an official reveal yet? It certainly does seem odd to not have any kind of announcement or image of the bag etc if it's coming in less than two weeks with an advance sale date of the Batcave. I know the Helicarrier had the Winter Soldier as a giveaway in the UK but was then available as a more general promo fig later in the year for the US (and later again I recall for the UK once more) so who knows what the circulation plan for it is. It would make the most sense if it was the giveaway so I think that's what we all assumed. It's also very specific in that it's directly related to that set... Winter Soldier could be considered more of a general Marvel figure while still being tied to the HC but Mr Freeze is almost too directly related for it to be anything else.

Perhaps we are getting a 60s Lego DVD?
Deathstroke77 Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 Perhaps we are getting a 60s Lego DVD? I assume this is a joke, but it isn't actually a bad shout. We haven't actually seen the supposed polybag that Mr Freeze comes in, nor is he confirmed for the VIP release. It may be possible that a Flash themed one is upcoming and they go back in time to the 60's where they find the acts of the show, or maybe just a straight up 60's movie, but I don't see that happening as it isn't exactly popular and well known among kids these days. It's all the animated stuff now really and some of the shows and movies.

Other than the title, which I cannot remember Yes, I was wondering about that the other day. I know somebody posted it many, many pages back, but I couldn't find it.
