The LEGO Batman Movie Set/CMF Rumors & Discussion

[robertgorman2505]

I would be over the moon if he was £30, although it seems quite unlikely for 448 pieces.

@Catanas are you the one that revealed that the calculator was in the cmf? If so, may I ask how many batsuits are in the series?

Based on RRP he is £29.99. But that could have changed with Brexit and such.

Based on what RRP? The only RRP given so far is 40$. There is no RRP for the sets in EU/England. The exchange rate for 40$ is £31,92. Many sets have the same price in USD and pund. It should also be noted that the price in Euros and Punds includes sales taxes which it doesn't do in the US do to regional sale tax. So the price for Lego is only comparable if you are from Delaware. I will be very surprised if the set turns out to cost £30. England is still part of the EU and the full effect hasn't shown yet at all. the only thing the voting has effect is a drop in exchange rate. However the price wouldn't have been £30 if the UK had voted remain.

Ive been busy dealing with the awful mess that happened with out presidential election in America. But WOW. The sets look really cool. I really want that Riddler Riddle Racer. The minifigs in the set are amazing. Zebra man is so cool. But I was wondering with some of them like Batgirl & Catwoman, we get them with their outfits, but will we see them in regular minifigure form like Bruce & Robin?

My local Target has the sets, but they won't let me buy any of them yet. Fine, I won't spend a large amout of money for their business; if I have to wait, I'll just order from Amazon and save myself another drive. Don't take my money. :|

As far as we know only Batgirl and Harley Quinn will get their alter egos (Bruce and Dick too of course).

They are doing what they are told by the company. If they don't it could have the consequences they won't get the Lego in the future or get them after the release. Some have gotten them early because either the place didn't care or the staffer did something they weren't suppose to do. It is not like you got screwed from something you were entitled to.

Went to my local Target, it wasn't there, btw it was in the US. So instead I got the Hulk Buster on sale for 20$. I'm saving my money for the Mr. Freeze before all of the people get it before Christmas starts

Does anyone who has the Batcave set please confirm, is an extra bowtie added? Could they even go a step further and add Bruce Wayne's bowtie to the Purple Coat 11th Doctor from the Doctor Who ideas set? if they have both.

great idea. I was planning to put Alfred's coattails on the dimensions capaldi figure.

Thanks for letting me know. At least Batgirl and Harley Quinn are getting their alter egos, I want Catwomans alter ego too.

Apparently, Target's in OH are running a special 20% off on all existing sets. Anyone per chance know if this sale is applicable to the four released Batman sets? Given that they're not even supposed to properly be released, I highly doubt it. 

I'm heading up their tomorrow to face the truth. If it's true I'll contemplate pulling the trigger on the more "costly" ones. But if anyone has any knowledge about the deal, I'd very much appreciate it.

I know this has been mentioned before, but isn't it a bit strange that the cmf for the Lego movie was revealed on November 1st. We are already 2 weeks into November and we still have nothing. I have a feeling they are going to reveal the cmf and remaining set(s) when the first wave drops

Since we have multiple sources that have acquired sets from Target, it clearly isn't enough of an issue for consequences; I'd wager less than 1% of the buying population for these are checking in-store with the DPCI codes to pick them up early, so even if the stores did work with everyone who checked, it wouldn't even be a blip on anyone's radar. And it's not entitlement, it's capitalism; when I don't get off of work until nine, go out of my way to support your business, and you don't work with me, then I'll go elsewhere for my business. By posting my complaints here, other people can get another perspective before they decide whether or not to try it out.

A different note, I really hope Catman winds up with the claw-mark symbol on his costume (a la Secret Six) instead of the older CM on his chest. Since Tarantula has the more modern look, I suspect that this will be the case.

I bought the Lowrider from the Target at Easton in Columbus on Sunday. It scanned for $49.99, so no discounts so far. About 1/2-3/4 of the Lego sets in the Lego aisle did have 20% off on them, but there were still quite a few that did not. The newer Star Wars sets were still full price and the larger of the August sets in the licensed themes were full price as well (Though the largest Captain America set and Angry Birds set were mysteriously full price despite the rest being marked down).

So, I definitely wouldn't expect a discount on any of the LBM stuff, at least not yet.

Those are neither Rancor arms nor regular bigfig arms  You're right in that they can't be Rancor arms since they lack the spikes on the shoulders and the Rancor has only a stud to attach a chain on one of his arms while Killer Croc has chains attached to both of his arms, which on the other hand also rules out regular bigfig arms for those don't feature studs at all  In summary, Croc consists of a new body mould, the classic croc head mould, new arms, Rancor hands and claws 

I'm also fairly confident that the lower jaw/neck/spine section is a separate piece as well that might allow him to rotate his head up for a "swimming mode". Anyone else see that? It could just be a seem from the manufacturing process but that gap seems too big for that. It looks like the whole thing could be a wheel, so to speak, that slides into the torso and ratchets up and down.

Didn't notice it, but now that you have pointed it out it seems rather obvious as on both sides of his neck there is a smooth section so that his head can rotate upwards easily.

has anyone had trouble locating this thread as I now keep getting an error message?

I like the fact that the Killer Croc Tail-Gator set contains Zoo-themed villains xD. I also love the Riddler set. I'm wondering if Gentleman Ghost could appear in with the Arctic Roller. I could definitly see that happen, a gentleman goes very well with a limousine. It would also be cool if it includes a small piece of the Iceberg Lounge, or at least the sign so we could make one ourselves.

Very possible, I could also see him appearing in a Mad Hatter tea party set. Seeing as we've already seen March Harriet, it's very probable that we'll get one!

And is it just me or does this whole movie seem like a massive throwback to the 1st Lego Batman Videogame? Just a theory but...

You have Riddler's team:

Riddler, Kiteman, Calendar Man, Magpie, Two Face?, Clayface?

Penguins team:

Penguin, Kabuki Twins, Man-bat, Croc, Zebra Man, Cat woman?, Cat man?

Joker's Team:

Joker, Scarecrow, Harley, Mr Freeze, Poison Ivy, Hatter?

I know it's not the same as the original, but similar...

Some people may have seen a retailer catalogue that indicated the RRP at that time. Whether the prices change from the retailer preview catalogue to the time of release is up to Lego but just because it isn't shared on here doesn't mean someone has just made it up.

This is the same as people reporting that certain figures are in the CMF wave... If the wave changes then people start to jump up and down saying that the person made it up. They didn't. 

Whether the members of these threads like it or not there are people who get to see things a lot earlier than anyone else... even before catalogues are printed up, and they simply aren't allowed to share that information, at least not fully.

Delta Customs was ridiculed openly before this year but just happened to give a completely accurate list of releases and people now believe him... The info he was given could have changed but even then he'd still have been honest about what he'd heard and was allowed to share.

The Batmobile and Lowrider sets have had the British RRPs announced, and they're ten quid less than the American price (e.g., $59.99 is £49.99) so it is possible it could be £30. 

I don't understand your last statement, voting Remain wouldn't have had any effect on prices.

Inflation has gone up massively since that stupid referendum. The confidence in the pound has decreased. Don't want to bog down the thread with politics but it's true.

I'm loving the minifigures for this movie. Not overly impressed with the movie trailers as I prefer a "dark" Batman story. However, the sets are something I'd collect. Especially the Batcave for the Batman Returns Penguin!

 

[Marvel_Geek8]

I know we probably have a ton of posts on opinions of these new sets I just want to give mine quick

Catwoman: I love it, it's an easy way to to get Batgirl and Robin and the motorcycle is is an alright build

Clayface: I LOVE IT! For Lego's first try at clayface it is amazing.

Riddler car: Definitly not a first day buy for me, I mostly want Riddler and his car

Killer Croc: It's alright, I wish it was a sewer build and not a truck. Croc is an odd big fig but he is growing on me

 

I do have one question: does the skin tone of the new Croc match the tone of the last one? I might want to switch the hands out, it all depends on how much I like the rancor hands.

Where is this Mad Hatter thing coming from... I'd recommend posting ideas like this elsewhere so that you aren't giving people false hope or ideas.
