Batbrick Posted February 6, 2008 Posted February 6, 2008 I was reading the name of the set: Escape of Mr Freeze X-D How on Earth is he sippose to escape with...that thing :-P *yoda* What? You can't picture it? Here we go then: Batman stares into the cold eyes of Mr.Freeze, unwavering. Victor Fries stares back with cold ambition, calm and collected. The escapee made an icy exit, leaving many frozen corpses in Arkham, and now the Dark Knight has only one mission: Bring him back. The two continue their long stare, the distance between them short, but still long enough to make a difference. Mr.Freeze make the first move, as he slams his vehicle into first gear! Batman follows suit, acting fast and without flaw. Thus begins the most epic go-kart chase in Gotham history! :-P Batbrick Away! >:-) Quote
Hewman Posted February 7, 2008 Posted February 7, 2008 I am so underwhelmed by the Mr Freeze set, good for people that don't have a Mr Freeze fig from one of the last wave of more expensive sets, but those vehicles look like they were hastily put together by a kid. Looks like the Jester's hat mold is being used for Harley as many suggested. I'll reserve my final judgement on that set once better pics become available, but my first impression is 'hmm, a bit ugly'. Let's just hope they make the tumbler a bit more accurate than the prelim pics show and it'll be beautiful. Quote

Robin Sub: The penguin face on the submarine, it looks like there is a shark bitting its privates. Batcycle: Did you SEE the Harley Hammer Harley is holding in her left Harley Hand? 8- Edited February 7, 2008 by Belloq Quote
trooperdavinfelth Posted February 7, 2008 Posted February 7, 2008 Belloq, that's hilarious! :-D I like the Schwarzenegger switch! :-P Anyhoo, isn't it odd, though, that the Buggy set doesen't have a Mr. Freeze henchman following on a motorcycle? It's sad that the Joker is the only one with a henchman, and he only gets one. :'-( Quote
Chuck Posted February 7, 2008 Posted February 7, 2008 (edited) Mate i'm sure you have heard the praise 'Size dosen't matter'....... :-P X-D Also, many things tend to shrink and/or shrivel up in extremely cold conditions ;-) Regarding the hammer truck, each EB Admin should have one to chase spammers on the run, seeing that it has a giant Banhammer on back :-P -Chuck Edited February 7, 2008 by Chuck Quote
ExoBuilder Posted February 7, 2008 Posted February 7, 2008 Do you plan on getting any? I plan on them all, each set I like, even if there are some disappointments. We get a second robin vehicle, the Tumbler, The Batpod, a new Batsuit no doubt, Harley Quinn, plus some much needed re-releases. Batbrick Away! >:-) I thought I already told you :-P Yes, I plan on getting them all, they all look so nice and I can finally get a Robin minifig, Mr. Freeze, and the other great ones as well *wub* *sweet* Quote

Nice. What other batsets do you have? It was the batcopter, batboat, batdragster and batmbile was it? Anyway, is there a possibility we are missing an exclusive set or something? The set numbers are troubling me: 7884 Batbuggy 7885 Robin Scuba Jet 7886 Batcycle 7887 ??????? 7888 Tumbler I really hope something else turns up, as much as I love Batman and this line, I want some more new.

Still, I'll be positive, wave 2 only offered us one new character and batsuit, but that was still a great wave. Oh, and tough on not getting the batcave, thats a good set :'-( Batbrick Away! >:-) Edited February 7, 2008 by Batbrick Quote

Why doesn't TLC just do what I want? It'll make things a whole lot easier :-| Quote
MagPiesRUs Posted February 7, 2008 Posted February 7, 2008 Thanks sam *wub* I'll only be getting Mr Freeze's escape and the Tumbler. The sub set looks to me like worse versions of the two vehicles in the Batcave, and despite the Harley fig, the vehicles look too much like the agents vehicles (not a good thing :-/ ). I havn't got the Joker or Mr Freeze minifigs, and I love the tumbler and ice cream truck (even if it's nothing compared to waves 1 and 2). I wonder what part is the torpedo made from: maybe a new part ? Isn't that just a trans-red stick with a trans-green cone? I am also very interested in seeing what Mr.Freeze's backpack is like, it looks to be very different. It looks to me like it's connected to the cart itself, I can't see it on the pics of the minifigs alone. I could be wrong though :-$ Quote

Do you think there is a connection, maybe the Agents team made this wave as well? It looks to me like it's connected to the cart itself, I can't see it on the pics of the minifigs alone. I could be wrong though :-$ You may be right too, though its not much given how small it is. I just can't wait for a Harley and the Tumbler. Hopefully, if these sets come to Tas (I don't want it to be like wave 2 and order them) I can get a couple of the Mr.Freeze one if its priced right, his head and pieces are extremely useful. So I got this: Batbuggy: *y* Lame of course, but the buggy is adorable, and it looks to be a really cheap way of getting great MFs and parts. Robin Scuba Jet: *y* Great robin vehicle, good Penguin Sub. Plus a way to get cheap MFs and penguins. Batcycle: *y* *y* Great set, loving that truck, I'll mod it into a monster. And of course Harley.... Tumblerr: *y* *y* I'll stick by my love of it, it even includes that weapon mode. Plus that icecream truck is great. Overall: Great wave, underminded by lack of new characters. Batbrick Away! >:-) Quote
Nebsirob Posted February 7, 2008 Posted February 7, 2008 (edited) I wonder what part is the torpedo made from: maybe a new part ? Isn't that just a trans-red stick with a trans-green cone? The same type of torpedo/missle is used at the Tumbler. The Tumbler version looks indeed like a cone, since it seems to be open at the top. But the Penguin version looks, like it has a closed top... which would indicate, that there is one new piece (at least to me). The red "stick" looks to me like a technic axle. Has somebody noticed the pink spot on the Joker? I wonder, what it is. However, I will buy them all. :-D Edited February 7, 2008 by Nebsirob Quote
Batbrick Posted February 7, 2008 Posted February 7, 2008 Has somebody noticed the pink spot on the Joker? I wonder, what it is. Good observation, maybe its an acid flower? However, I will buy them all. :-D Good choice X-D Batbrick Away! >:-) Quote
hollisbrick Posted February 7, 2008 Posted February 7, 2008 Thanks sam! *y* i can't make tooo much judgement atm being these are preliminary pics, the only one i'm gonna get atm is the small $20 one and only for the figs, anyway... Quote
The Penguin Posted February 7, 2008 Posted February 7, 2008 Good observation, maybe its an acid flower? Or an ice-cream! )))) :-) Quote
xwingyoda Posted February 7, 2008 Posted February 7, 2008 Mate i'm sure you have heard the praise 'Size dosen't matter'....... :-P X-D I've heard that before and its proudly in my sig X-D But I do have the Force in my you know !! That puny cart can't work on that and needs an engine to make it work and its so small its like an electric crap car :-D Thus begins the most epic go-kart chase in Gotham history! :-P Hilarious :-P Isn't that just a trans-red stick with a trans-green cone? I'm not talking about the new flicker missiles (why put red on bat vehicles |-/ ) but about the red circle ;-) *yoda* Quote
Batbrick Posted February 7, 2008 Posted February 7, 2008 Or an ice-cream! )))) :-) Ooh! Hopefully, I don't have any icecream pieces. Hilarious :-P I assure you I'm quite serious Yoda :-P I'm not talking about the new flicker missiles (why put red on bat vehicles |-/ ) but about the red circle ;-) I think it might just be the normal technic missile on a funny angle, so that the end appears flat. Batbrick Away! >:-) Quote
xwingyoda Posted February 7, 2008 Posted February 7, 2008 I think it might just be the normal technic missile on a funny angle, so that the end appears flat. Not sure about that :-/ Don't you thing that these big missiles are too big for such a sall sub ? Also it seems that it shoots upward so I don't think that its the missile you're talking about ;-) *yoda* Quote

And the shooter system may just be aimed upwards for a change too. I think it still is the normal one, though a new kind would be good, a smaller kind. I also like how one of the penguins has a spear gun *wub* Batbrick Away! >:-) Edited February 7, 2008 by Batbrick Quote
Brainbox Posted February 7, 2008 Posted February 7, 2008 Well, I'm back. And that means I missed out on these when they first appeared. Still, never mind... And do I spy a dark grey batsuit on this box? You know, I believe you do. So, onto the sets: Batbuggy Well, yes, so it's not brilliant is it? But, like Batbrick, I do quite like it. I mean, if we do get a new Batsuit that's quite cool, and it's a cheap set. The ice effect on Freeze's gun is also nice, and it gets some points for being a more original Bat-vehicle. Scuba Jet Alright, nothing new, but the picture does look a bit clearer. Penguin's sub's actually quite nice, and Robin's jetsub isn't bad either. Tumbler Again, nothing new, but I don't mind it. So it's not perfect, but with a bit of work it could be pretty good. And the ice cream truck is nice. Batcycle Not really sure on the Batcycle itself, but the truck's nice enough. Weird, but quite cool. And Harley's *wub* especially with her enlarged hammer. No really, Harley's absolutely fantastic. So, basically, all the sets need MOD work, quite a lot in some cases, but I relish the challenge, and can't wait to add these into my Batcave shelf, and finish it for this year (before changing it when next years sets come out :-| ). Hopefully we will get a Wave 4, and this mystery set Batbrick keeps predicting, just so we get a Gordon. Quote
