Go on eBay. Yeah they cost a bit but that's life.

When it comes each year there are dozens of complaints about SDCC exclusives but Target? Non Americans can cope surely? For the past two years, hundreds of us have been missing out. Heck we missed out on Superboy (a pretty big character IMO). I really don't want exclusives in places that half the world can't access. Toys R Us could be fine. Or substitute Target with another supermarket depending on the country like, say, Tesco in the U.K. and so on. I just felt upset the past two years. If it was another desirable fig I'd be miserable. But hey we didn't get Cosmic Boy combo DVD fig either over here, so I guess Saturn Girl'd be fine if she was the last. Shame for the legion fans out there though.

Anyway I'm pretty sure there's no cubes this year anyway (yay?)

I'm Australia we have target and toys r us but we do t get the cubes. I his paid about $40 aud including postage for each give minifigure. Inadvertently the super boy and lightning lad. I also bought codmic boy for $15 aud. Bro seriously it is not that expensive.

I know the pain, because I used to live outside the US until a couple of years ago. Anything that isn't sold where you live that you want to add to your collection means paying expensive shipping costs and possibly customs. On the other hand, now that I don't have those impediments, I'm happy that we get more characters in Lego form. I guess the main problem with being outside the US is that keeping a near-complete collection of Super Heroes is not as affordable as it is in the US.

For me, it would be a bummer if we don't get a Target cube this year. I was hoping it would become some sort of tradition.

We should find a way to resolve this because it is VERY easy to get last year's Target cube still (but not for long as they will probably go back on shelves for the holiday shopping season). So if there's a thread where people post these things for trading or whatnot we should share. I literally bought four more of them at Target in September and returned them to the store when they didn't sell on eBay. (That's the one with Lightning Lad - I missed the Superboy cube, and they are definitely gone).

Sorry for posting an off topic post. Let me correct that:

Do we know if there will be more DC Super Hero Girls sets released in 2017 after the Nov 16/Jan 17 wave? I know there are plans for more sets in the theme, but I can't remember if there were planned release dates announced as well.

I believe we're supposed to be getting at least one more set, potentially a store exclusive, with the Flash, Granny Goodness, Eclipso, and probably someone else. Somebody correct me on that, because I'm sure I've bunked up a bit of that.

4 summer sets with Flash, Eclipso and Mad Harriet. I don't think there's any store exclusives, but I'll be happy if there is! :P

Here's a look at the Harley Quinn set, which LEGO was kind enough to send to me early to review.

 

And here's the video review:

 

[PickleManDan]

I really like the Batgirl comic book.

[Legocity2713]

That Batgirl comic and pizza tile are great. :)

Not a fan of how the minifigure looks with the minidoll's hair though. :/

[jurrobear]

I love the arcade machine. 

[GoldenNinja3000]

Just watched the new Wonder Woman trailer. Super excited for the set and I hope we get an awesome new figure of Diana!

[BaneShake]

I definitely am not getting the Super Cafe. The set itself just doesn't do anything for me, which is a shame, since the Friends and Elves sets tend to have very good builds. If it had minifigures, I'd tolerate it, but by going minidolls, I don't even have that incentive.

I agree. Do we have any hints about the Wonder Woman set yet? Number of mini figures? Price point? Build (i.e. vehicle, building or other)? I wonder if it will possibly come with two Diana mini figures with one in her Themysciran armour and one in her Wonder Woman armour?

Now that the villain/s appear to have been somewhat "revealed" in the latest trailer, surely there are no confidentiality issues. Unless one of the villains changes their appearance / form in the movie for the climax?

I still hate that net launching feature.

Ahhh, very clever! 

They'll probably use something else.. like Thor.

There a pic of him? I still want a new hairpiece for Loki that's close to the one in The Avengers.

These sorts of sets tend to be $30, have one locale or a large vehicle with a smaller build to go with it, and 3 minifigs.

Thank you. So, I would guess Wonder Woman, Steve Trevor and "villain". And given Lego's aversion to accurate war-themed products, it probably won't come with a tank or bi-plane. So, I guess it will be based on some kind of base / building? Unless the "villain" is oversized and brick-built or has some kind of other-worldly brick-built weapon / vehicle / thing (e.g. a mega suit of Hulkbuster-esque armour).

[badchriss]

That Harley Quinn Café Facade gives me an Idea.

I would buy it and build a complete Building around it,kinda like last year's Corner Deli.Of course I would get rid of the pink Arch.

Btw,what's the Deal with those weird little Diamond Guys?

[dario2739]

Would be nice if they produced some of the 2x2 tiles with comic cover prints.

I think a biplane is still possible. Even Scooby-Doo got one of those.

Obviously, Ares is going to come riding in on his FLAMETHROWER TRIKE.
