Captain Britain Posted April 11, 2016 Posted April 11, 2016 Cheers J2G and everyone else! Nice start to the week to get some more confirmed Lego news
Captain Britain Posted April 11, 2016 Posted April 11, 2016 Maybe it's the one in the LEGO Batman Movie trailer... Which one is this Sir Gareth?
rob-ot5000 Posted April 11, 2016 Posted April 11, 2016 I may be the minority here but I hate pre-52 red robins outfit. I love the New 52 one, kinda disappointed that it's going I really like the New52 Red Robin suit I like New 52 Red Robin :( I like new 52 red robin too ;) BURN THEM! Ha, I kid, but seriously, BURN THEEEEEE-*ahem* sorry, sorry. There isn't anything New 52-related I can think of off-hand that's better than the original, design-wise. IMO, of course, as always. No matter, though, since we're getting Damien instead. I'll definitely be picking up the Ra's set. I imagine Damian will be a rehash of the previous version, since Ra's, Talia, and apparently Batman will all be new figures. As for the build, I assume (and sincerely hope) that it will be a Lazarus pit-based build. (Really, the only way I can picture it not having a Lazarus pit is if it's based on the Nolan movie trilogy, and I don't see that happening.) Oh, how I pray there will be no vehicles! Unlikely, maybe, but...fingers crossed!
Sir Gareth Posted April 11, 2016 Posted April 11, 2016 Which one is this Sir Gareth? The one labeled, "Desert Bat."
Captain Britain Posted April 11, 2016 Posted April 11, 2016 The one labeled, "Desert Bat." I must of missed it doh! Going to re-watch now and have a long hard think of what's just happened .
Numbuh1Nerd Posted April 11, 2016 Posted April 11, 2016 I like new 52 red robin too ;) If the robin is infact a repeat I would like variation like a hood,or down hood on Damian with a different face. I would be happy for any Tim drake as I only have the scuba robin and Damian when it comes to robin,I wouldn't even mind the 2012 suit that I missed although everyone else would not like that. I'd say that Damian's gonna be the same as ever. The original figure has a scared face, which seems appropriate here. The hood seems like the only thing they might do, and even that's unlikely.

Unlikely, maybe, but...fingers crossed! I never said I preferred the new 52 suit to the pre 52 but I just think both of them are excellent.

Marvelous Spidey Posted April 11, 2016 Posted April 11, 2016 Honestly if it's a desert Batmobile and Lazarus Pits I would love that. Maybe a Bat-quad or something could be pretty sweet too.
JaseTJ Posted April 11, 2016 Posted April 11, 2016 (edited) Here's hoping Damian has a new face... At least torsos are reusable for other Robins, even if they don't work perfectly. The Damian 'fig's face is just... Not very useful, though. I want my other Robins to look happy, or just minorly scowl-y :P Edited April 11, 2016 by JaseTJ
CM4Sci Posted April 11, 2016 Posted April 11, 2016 Anyone ever figure out what was with that new Robin face?

The Damian 'fig's face is just... Not very useful, though. I want my other Robins to look happy, or just minorly scowl-y :P The Juniors Robin mask is actually the same as the Damian mask, but smiling instead of scowling. Let's see, what Bat-vehicles haven't been made yet... Bat-Drill? Bat-duckboat? Bat-Camel?
Captain Britain Posted April 11, 2016 Posted April 11, 2016 Maybe it will be a Bat Dunebuggy I'd really like that actually haha. Some sort of dune type vehicle would be nice. I'm sure it'll be some sort of re-hash of what we've got anyway. Please no more helicopters.
KCMatze Posted April 11, 2016 Posted April 11, 2016 Now I want that Dessert Batman :D Glad to hear news on the set. Seems pretty promising to me. 3/4 figures completely new (maybe even all four) is great, too!
Amazing Bricks Posted April 11, 2016 Posted April 11, 2016 Anyone ever figure out what was with that new Robin face? It was an error that one guy had. It's not an official head, so I wouldn't expect it to be released.
blackknightrises Posted April 11, 2016 Posted April 11, 2016 I'd really like that actually haha. Some sort of dune type vehicle would be nice. I'm sure it'll be some sort of re-hash of what we've got anyway. Please no more helicopters. I'd say a rehash of previous vehicles is the most likely scenario. Though I don't think a helicopter would be included since they already have one for the summer wave with the Scarecrow set. Who knows..it is just a matter of waiting for pictures to reveal themselves now. Anyone know which retailer this will be exclusive through? I wouldn't be surprised if it was through TRU.
BlockLogo Posted April 11, 2016 Posted April 11, 2016 Target seems to get DC exclusives pretty often, with Braniac and both of the minifigure cubes recently. Though TRU gets most of the minibuilds and polybags. And all these wishes for a Lazarus Pit... I think people would do well to curb their expectations. Even if it is a Lazarus Pit rather than a vehicle set, the difference between what an AFOL would expect and imagine it would look like versus what a $30 set - one with already at least 3, and maybe 4 exclusive figs - would deliver could be pretty enormous. Like the volcano in the coming city sets.
Amazing Bricks Posted April 11, 2016 Posted April 11, 2016 I'm pretty sure the Lazarus pit will be small, but still be in the set :)
LegoMcBoss2004 Posted April 11, 2016 Posted April 11, 2016 In the way of the build could it not look similar to Nexus' MOC he made a while back.
Deathstroke77 Posted April 11, 2016 Posted April 11, 2016 I hope it isn't a vehicle set. Playsets happen rarely in the DC line. The two Batcaves, Arkham Asylum, Jokerland. Clash of the Heroes and the Funhouse have so far been the only playsets we've had. Maybe you could count the Catwoman set from 2012 as well. This is the perfect oppurtunity for a playset, so I hope they don't go and put a Batmobile and some makeshift motorcycle next to a Lazarus Pit or something.
BlockLogo Posted April 11, 2016 Posted April 11, 2016 It's desert batman. It'll come with the desert batbuggy. Or the dune batquadbike.
adotnamedstud Posted April 11, 2016 Posted April 11, 2016 Desert Batman doesn't have to be the Knightmare suit. It would look ugly as a printed figure anyways. Unless LEGO makes a trenchcoat piece. (Which is unlikely) I think it's just going to be shirtless Batman with the cowl on. With LEGO preferring quality of their selling points of SH sets, I doubt they'd let a printed figure of the Knightmare suit be made just because it wouldn't translate well without the depth.
Nsk97 Posted April 11, 2016 Posted April 11, 2016 I think a knightmare suit would be more likely for an exclusive for a "certain event" rather than a comic based set given how the minifigures based on the movies are clearly separated from the comic based minifigures. I agree with others that desert batman could be a bare chested version but it is equally likely to just be a sand coloured batsuit.

I do agree that the torso might not work, but printed goggles on a cowl would be awesome
