DC Superheroes 2016 - Rumors and Discussion

[LegoMcBoss2004]

Don't believe we've had a Jason Todd Robin yet. But Just2Good confirmed Damian I believe

Yeah it's a couple pages back. Nevermind

Set sounds great in my opinion! Over in the Marvel thread people were talking about Dr Strange getting a widow peak hair piece that had grey printing on the sides so we'll probably get that for Ra's as well. Only thing that has me very curious is the whole Desert Batman minifigure... really don't know what to expect... could turn out very great though

[Deathstroke77]

This sounds great. Like someone said, this sounds Arrow-esque, and I'm down with that.

Looks like this was sneakily added to the first post;

#76056: Rescue From Ra's Al Ghul

• Store Exclusive
  
• Includes Ra's al Ghul, Desert Batman, Talia al Ghul, Robin
  
• Includes desert buggy bat-vehicle, exploding doorway, jail cell for Robin, staircase, and minifigure-launching green pool
  

Lazarus Pit confirmed that launches minifigs....

Darn, and I was hoping for Ra's Al Ghul's Demoncopter.

...kidding, of course. This has the potential to be one of the strongest DC sets released! Of course, simple virtue of being a location already sets it apart from the majority.

Agreed. I'm definitely just getting the minifigs for the Killer Croc set and I'm still undecided between the set or just the minifigs for the Scarecrow set, but this is a day one buy for me.

Don't you mean Demoncopter of Doom?

Seriosuly though, I don't know what it is with Super Hero sets and vehicles, but I am excited to (finally) see another location, especially one as iconic as the Lazerus pit. It'd be pretty cool if the pit included a light brick function. Regardless, I just hope the build lives up to the hype.

Also, this set sounds like it's inspired by the Batman the Animated Series episode where Robin (Dick Grayson in the episode, as opposed to Damian Wayne) was captured by Ra's and taken to his desert hideaway.

It wont live up to any hype, cause there is a vehicle in the set, the so called "location" will suffer a lot for that.

[BatofGotham]

If it's Damian, then I want him to have a new face or atleast a hood piece.

[Duncan Young]

Really looking forward to seeing the Ra's set. This is shaping up to be the best superheroes summer wave yet! (I mean Ra's, Red Hood, Boomerang, Talia, KILLER MOTH for goodness sake!) I'm going to have an empty wallet at the end of the year!

That depends on the size of the vehicle. It's a "desert buggy," which sounds like it would be a relatively small build (imagine the Batcycle in the Funhouse Escape set; it was there without taking away from the location's build). Plus, with multiple location builds (Door, cell, Lazarus pit), it sounds like the focus really is on the playset.

[BatZack]

This would make for a kickass Arrow set. A good way to finally get Black Canary and maybe even Arsenal. Ra's and Nyssa vs Green Arrow and Black Canary, put one of supporting characters (please god not felicity) in the Lazarus pit. I think I prefer my vision

I have been looking forward to getting the Batmobile polybag since seeing it to add to my collection as I have all the Batman vehicle polybags. As it was not a promotion during the BvS launch or whilst the film was out I assumed that here in the UK it would be included in the Daily Mail polybag promo run. Now I read this is not the case! http://brickfanatics.co.uk/more-on-the-lego-2016-daily-mail-giveaway/

I am more than disappointed to say the least. BUT does anyone happen to have any UK info on when and where we can get the poly or any of the others we have missed (Venom Symbiote etc) so far here in the UK?

That's disappointing.. don't want either of those :(

[Deathstroke77]

I doubt that's it. They always have a week long promotion in May, this is clearly just a part of it or false information.

Yes but we only had one polybag in November.

[Zergos]

I'm disappointed that it's Damien yet again. I'll still get the set for Ra's and Talia, but ugh.

We've only had Damian once so far haven't we?

[BaneShake]

Correct. He only appeared in the Joker Steamroller set. Mostly we've gotten Tim Drake variants, with Dick Grayson in Batboat, Jokerland, and possibly the juniors and micros sets (although these last two could debatably be Tim as well).

True, but that was a small promo. The May promotion is always a big one, and I'm willing to bet that this is not the full line-up of polys in this promo.

These sets are looking so good!

[KCMatze]

I will never get the designs of the Croc set...Those vehicles are so bad
