Batman '08

[yellost]

I don't know about you, but to me, this one is screaming Mario Kart in the LEGO Batman universe... (Makes me wish they'd do a new LEGO Racers... The first one was and still is the best racer game I've had on my computer ever)

I'm definitely getting that one *wub* (besides, it's got Mr Freeze cheap, all the more to it *y* )

And the design of the tumbler is slowly growing on me... though it still needs to be rid of those lame side missiles...

[VBBN]

Thanks sam! More pics here.

Now, more comments:

Harley: *wub* I LOVE THIS SET!! So many parts, great fig... *wub* *wub* And that batcycle? *wub*

Penguin sub: No convinced, but I don't really wan this set.

Freeze:Hey, that's actually a nice parts pack! I will get one for those trans-blue parts.

Tumbler: Dang, that ice creame truck has a big motor!! And the tumbler is *wub* .

Great year for Batman, methinks.

From sam's pics, it appears the Tumbler Batman has a new light grey suit!(I think) I'm digging all these sets... I'm sold already... X-D

Nvm. It's the crystal.

Dark Grey actually, I like *wub*

Thanks Sam89 for those new pics, I love that Tumbler so much more now, it really is fantastic and the pics didn't do it justice at all. The inside is great and there is actually room for two passengers!

The Joker's Ice Cream Van is fantastic, I hope we get another Joker Card and Joke Bomb in it too, but those popsicles are enough anyway!

Robin's Scuba Jet I still love, though I'll mod a tad so he can see better. The Penguin's sub is brilliant, much better than his other one, I love the control room in it, and it so sleek and well built. More penguins are great too. The Batcycle will still need modding, but it looks better now that I've seen the side angle. I'll just extend the wheels, thin it a bit, and it'll look great. It already looks good, but even for the Batpod its too chunky.

Harley's truck on the other hand is perfect, I love that "Wack a Bat" hammer, and it looks like from Sam89's pics he showed that we get a crate filled with jewels with her, nice touch, you can never have too many diamonds. And the Batbuggy's just a great parts pack which I wil use to get another two Mr.Freeze's and two new Batsuits. I love that grappling hook, and those exhaust pieces are useful.

Overall, I'm really happy now after learning of only two new figs not long ago, these sets really make up for it. Now lets buy them all out so we can get more figs in a wave 4!

Batbrick Away! >:-)

I found this pic on flickr, here.

[VBBN]

Sweet! I *wub* *wub* this thing now! I am so buying this!

Tumbler ON! *y*

[Brainbox]

Wow!

Batbuggy

Aww, cute. Taken in context, it's a rather nice little set. A bit kooky, but never mind, I like it. Obviously Bats got dressed in the dark...

Jet sub

I like it. Like I said earlier, the Penguin sub harkens back to the campy 60s, and that's always a good thing where I'm concerned. The missile in the back of the sub will have to go though. Note how Tim has different hair. I wonder whether thats in the set or whether thats down to the display itself. Hopefully the latter, I like that hairpiece. Also, why hasn't Penguin drowned sat on top of his sub (in the water) as he is?

Batcycle

I have to say I'm not too keen on the bike itself, but it does look better now than it did in the prelim picture. The new Batsuit's really nice though, even if it's not black. As for the truck, it's a bit wacky, but fun, and Harley's just *wub* Seriously though, how cute is she?

Tumbler

Hmm, a missile in a ice cream truck. I'll admit I've never seen it before. But the truck itself is nice, and "Uncle Joker's Ice Cream Surprise" made me laugh. The Tumbler itself looks really, really cool. It actually needs less MODing than I originally thought (secretly, I'm disappointed ;-) ). Thanks for the new pic btw Sam.

[ExoBuilder]

I really don't understand why you guys complain about the flick fire missiles. If you don't like them, just remove them :-|

Anyway, these new sets are fantastic! I can't wait to get that Tumbler! *wub*

*sweet*

[Brainbox]

I really don't understand why you guys complain about the flick fire missiles.

Surely you know by now it's because we're Bat-fans, and in some cases comic geeks. It's therefore our job to complain when anythng uncharacteristic or out-of-continuity appears, like Bats using missiles.

Or is it because we're AFOLs? It's therefore our job to complain about any use of flick missiles and/or rubber shooters by TLC.

If you don't like them, just remove them :-|

Don't worry, I will.

[iamded]

Well, that new dark grey Batman looks great. Armoured, no?

(For those who haven't seen it yet...)

~Peace

Wow!

A bit late huh? X-D

The sub actually has an inside, one of the pics show it. I didn't notice that hairpiece, hopefully it stays that way.

The Batcycle will look good with a few mods though I think. And Harley's cuteness defies all measurements of cuteness *wub*

Where is the missile? I don't see a missile, just a big ice cream on top *wacko*

I love the Tumbler, I can't wait to get it.

Batbrick Away! >:-)

You can see it on the very first pic, at the very first post, in this very first thread.

These pics are gretat :'-) i'm really digging these new sets i can't wait til June *sweet* the only one i'll get is probably the little can't wait!

[Brainbox]

Yes, I noticed the inside. Looks a bit cramped, but at least it's there. And I guess submarines aren't exactly spacious anyway. You mean you want a standard black hairpiece? No no no, you want the coiffure from the Batcave. Such a fantastic hairpiece, and I'd be able to use it for something more than I would the standard hairpiece.

And Harley's cuteness defies all measurements of cuteness *wub*

Ah, I think I see my corrupting, fan-boy influence at work. ;-)

You can see it on the very first pic, at the very first post, in this very first thread.

And you can just about see it here. The ice cream is the trigger, you can see it attatched to the launcher in the aforementioned pic.

[The Penguin]

If you pardon me, gentlemen, but where's Batman wearing a dark gray suit here? :-/

You mean on the Batcycle? Because it's the new Batsuit we're getting. A TDK-style suit, but in dark grey not black. No, I don't know either. Still, it's nice regardless.

I think it looks like a newer hairpiece like an Agents one or Shia Lebouf's Lego character's hair. If it is just a standard hairpiece, then by all means, give us the Batcave one, its a great piece.

Yes you do, normally I wouldn't, but she's just Harley! *wub*

Ahh thanks for that. I don't really care about that, it seems well placed and hidden, so I might even possibly keep it. Possibly. That said i would have preferred more icecreams inside, but I'm okay with two.

I would rather have a black one, and then a dark grey one later. There is still hope for an all black one next year I guess, but I'll stay happy with this one, plenty of comics feature Batman with a protective suit anyway. Still, there goes any chance of some great BB vigs...

If it is new, and that wouldn't surprise me with this year's sets, then that's good too.

Nah, it's going on mine. The ice cream trigger would annoy me, and I'd ratherhave a serving window if at all possible.

Yeah, but at least we're getting a new suit.

Couple of new pictures here, including more of Harley, a slightly blurry Tumbler, and a little bit of box-art (well, the bottom corner).

[Batbrick]

Still, now I realise I've only got two of that old hairpiece, I'd rather that, the other one comes in lots of sets this year.

Nah, it's going on mine. The ice cream trigger would annoy me, and I'd ratherhave a serving window if at all possible.

Your probably right, mine won't be converted for city though, those "Uncle Joker's Icecream Surprise" stickers are just too good. I might mod it then, include some Joker Toxin flavoured Ice Cream inside.

Yeah, but at least we're getting a new suit.

Point taken, we have to think positive. Actually, thats easy, just think of Harley...... *wub*

Thanks for that, I love the boxart as always, can't wait to see what Harley looks like in the comic strips.

That blurry pic of the tumbler makes it look like its running over Batman!

But I want to know whats up with this pic Here

Is it just the banner? It looks lie its showing wayne Manor, I want to see what the rest of it is. When I first saw it I thought it was an exclusive fifth set, but then no more pics followed and I was a bit upset naturally.

Batbrick Away! >:-)

[VBBN]

Yes, I also will MOD my ice creame truck to be a interior truck. Thankfully it includes doors in the back, unlike Two-faces truck.

[Brainbox]

mine won't be converted for city though, those "Uncle Joker's Icecream Surprise" stickers are just too good. I might mod it then, include some Joker Toxin flavoured Ice Cream inside.

Yeah, that's what I meant. Add an ice cream machine and a side window if possible.

Point taken, we have to think positive. Actually, thats easy, just think of Harley...... *wub*

Sigh... *wub*

Here

Is it just the banner? It looks lie its showing wayne Manor, I want to see what the rest of it is.

I assumed it was just the banner, as there're ones for Indy and Speed Racer as well.

[The Penguin]

Pardon, for interrupting you, gentlemen, but an interesting idea has just come to my mind.... Have you seen Two-Face or Riddler in the new videogame? Quite disturbing, isn't it?

(I hope they are there, just don't want us to see them.... )

[Brainbox]

Pardon, for interrupting you, gentlemen

X-D :-$

Have you seen Two-Face or Riddler in the new videogame? Quite disturbing, isn't it?

To be honest, I can't imagine them not being there. With the relative shortage of heroes in the game, I think we'll likely see as many villains as possible, Two-Face and Riddler included.

[The Penguin]

I hope you are right.... ) I can understand if they include, say, Nightwing as a "locked" bonus character, but I think that all of the other issued characters will be present and playable.... :-) )

P.S.

You don't mind my calling you "gentlemen", do you? *sweet* )
