The LEGO Batman Movie Set/CMF Rumors & Discussion

[Cammo]

Is that November release date also for European stores? I have 25 EUR in VIP points that will expire in January 2017.
Honestly the new Arkham isn't that improved compared to the previous one. I still think the one from 3 year (=?) ago is the best one. This version lacks the great fence, the ambulance and the gothic feel. Maybe it's because they used brown as the main colour... Still likely that I'll pick up Arkham Asylum. The Batcave is an easy pass for me.

Oops. Thanks. I edited it.

Iv'e got the old Arkham and love it... but this feels like a different kind of arkham... especially with the gym facilities such as the weights along with the bench and chairs.

I still think the characters in this are going to have to be lighter than they normally would. Joker can't be the psychopathic killer he is in the comics as it's a kid's film so the styling will be lighter throughout. I just hope Catwoman's cowl is black elsewhere as it'll be closer to the New 52 although the additional of the goggles mould is a step forward. 
The orange belt on Catwoman is also used on Scu-Bat in the Batcave I think.

Well this asylum is also a good prison for lego city fans as well i guess. Add an extra asylum and it's even a better prison. A bit like spidey's bridge fits great in a city theme. 

And with the snow this could be our first holiday season prison! Just add a x-mas tree and some lights

I agree. It's a good facility/prison. To be honest the recent City Prison with the rocks was a good starting point for Black Gate Prison in my mind. There are some excellent builds which could be used to expand Gotham where needed.

I guess the Joker lowrider set the bar too high, but I was really expecting these to have a more overtly goofy aesthetic. Aside from some of the minifig designs, they look like "standard" Batman sets - not a bad thing by any means, I was just hoping for some LEGO Movie-style wackiness. Maybe we'll see that with some of the villain vehicles yet to be revealed. I do think this is the best-looking Arkham to date though.

[lightningtiger]

Is it just me or does the Riddler minifig look like he was from A Clockwork Orange ? 

I'm impressed with most of these sets, I guess the biggest set is the one everyone will want for all the characters and more play features than the last AA.

I personally love how wild the villains are this time. We've had the definitive versions of most of them, and the ones we haven't, we're getting. It's high time we had a dome-helmeted classic Freeze, and Riddler's hat is great. Whereas Harley, Two-Face, Catwoman, and Penguin are all taken from various sources to create new takes on the characters that I really like. The bad guys are always the best minifigures, and I'm glad they're all so different. 

[SuperChris]

The Arkham set looks really good. I wasn't a fan of the last version, so I'll be picking this up for sure! 

I understand why all the villains have the orange jumpsuits, just means I'll have to pick up some of the collectable figures next year.

From what I heard the first waves of 2017 themes are coming in stores on december 15th (maybe 1 or 2 for this theme) and everything else on january 1st. 

[strangely]

I'm just now realizing that's an X-ray machine in the Arkham set. That's actually a pretty neat function. You put a minifigure on there, slide the platform and it shows the minfigures skeleton. The only thing I'd change is the trans panel, they should have created it with two grey panels and one trans panel. So I'll be changing that, otherwise though it's awesome.

With Arkham I really can't help but love the mini builds as much as the main build. The weights, cafeteria stuff and the police car are all really well done.

Where did you hear this from??

Also seeing as lego just revealed the remaining dc superhero girls sets do you think that we'll see more sets this week- delta did say that they were releasing soon??

[GeekByKnight]

More DC SUPERGIRLS or whatever they're called have just been revealed on Lego's Facebook page. Fingers crossed that means more LBM sets revealed tomorrow.

[CM4Sci]

Oops, 70901 isn't the Catwoman set. Sorry about that, should be 70902 or something 

Dang it, I missed my 8000th post! Woohoo - I am now an Arch Duke! Matches my profile pic

Our local 'licensed' lego shop gave me this information. They get sets on december 15, but don't know which ones and everything else that releases in the winter on january 1st.

Did anyone notice the orange utility belt piece on the cat woman minifigure in the arkham set? I sure did. I'm also sure this will be useful for making purist customs of other superheroes (which is something I don't do). Also the new hair piece for two-face looks really good and the new piece for poison ivy as well

EDIT: Turns out @Ashnflash did.

Lol you are forgiven sir. 

Okay so does anyone else think that we could see the rest of the LBM sets? I mean I was personally expecting some sorta Marvel reveal today. But more DC!!! Bring on the LBM (probably just wishful/hopeful thinking)

Well delta did say that the sets would be revealed soon so yeah. Probably. Though now that we've seen them (the 5 released so far) we'll have to wait 3 months to buy them.

That was exactly my first thought. He does have an orange suit , so who knows maybe this is an Easter Egg?

No man! That's the best part! It's just a little more than a month away. We only need to wait that long for the Dimensions packs and Arkham. Bad for the wallet but really super exciting!

More like a month and 3 weeks. I wish it was just a month!

I hope there are more reveals this week, cause I want to know how much i need for the sets when they come out. 

Also question: What other sets do we know the details of? I know the clayface one and catwoman motorcycle, but are there any others that details have been said on here?

We know about a Killer Croc swamp set with some obscure villains and about a set with Poison Ivy and a very cool bat vehicle.

Edit: The Killer Croc set will include Batman, Killer Croc, Tarantula and Zebra Man. There will also be a Riddler vehicle based set with Kite-Man

Okay, I have two questions:

1) Is there a Mr Freeze fig inside that mech? I mean, I think it'd suck if it was just the head, if you ask me.

2) So, the release date is November 27th, IIRC... Is it going to be that date in Europe? Or are we going to be left out in the cold like usual it seems with some of these sets?
