Someone got their hands on the new Barry and Thawne. Fortunately Eobard is the standard brick yellow colour and not the yellow/orangey shade we feared

That’s awesome, I’m not a huge fan of the set he’s in though so I’ll probably order him on Bricklink. Thank god he’s the right yellow.

Sorry if this is old news but there’s a new activity book on Amazon that seems to come with a Flash Minifigure. Does anyone know what version this is as it’s currently blurred out on the image

There’s some blurry box art out and about for 2018 sets

Where is the box art, is it preliminary or final and official?

Anyone know what Set # 40301 on brickset could be? It's saying DC Super Heroes.

I'm guessing it's a polybag.

That’s the thing, it was blurry, the sets were obvious but any real detail was missing. Just checked all the Instagram accounts I follow and they appear to have been taken down. That’s really odd of TLG to be overly protective of something that got announced months ago with photos.

I believe it was the regular Flash that we got in sets like Gorilla Grodd Goes Bananas.

Probably not, wonderwomans Tiara is printed on so that’s a good giveaway

BaneShake · November 24, 2017

Where did that pic even originate?

*snap*

It looks very odd, I would say it's fake.

Anonknee Muss · November 25, 2017

When do we get official images of the Mighty Micros?

RedHoodPug · November 25, 2017

Juniors box art available to see if you know where to look. Joker car, Batwing and a cave section, along with JT Robin.

It looks exactly like some of those fan-made CW Flash minifig renders I've seen floating around. Definitely fake.

I'm pleasantly surprised by the prices if they use their usual conversation rate.

Box art for the main sets and the Mighty Micros have leaked. I actually really like the torso on MM Joker, it’s very similar to the 2006 version

TheBrickBuilder14 · December 1, 2017

The Joker/Nightwing one is definitely the best of them. The Nightwing logo especially looks great, really hope that we get a better look at his torso soon.

Interesting, Supergirl's torso looks like a ditto of MM Superman's torso, but printed on a lighter shade of blue. Also, I kind of like the usage of Black Widow's hairpiece in blonde on her. Perhaps it could work well on the non-MM variant of Supergirl too?

Where'd you guys find these pictures?

Heh. That Joker face is something else. Joker and Nightwing is definitely best for figures; can't wait to tweak and customize with them.

Braniac and Supergirl is solid, although her face terrifies me. Cute skull ship build, and Kandor is a nice touch.

Batman's, again, is the least exciting. Nice that they keep giving him new vehicles; in this case, the Batwing, and his grin's a unique touch, but a black-suited micro is just an inferior version of the black-suit we've gotten way too many times already. Harley's pretty dang fun though.

TheBatstan · December 3, 2017

After seeing the pictures, that Nightwing vs Joker one is definitely the one that I at least have to get. The Joker torso looks like a more simplified version of the 2006 torso, and Nightwing's torso would work great for a Rebirth/The New Batman Adventures minifigure.

Huigberts Builds · December 3, 2017

Nightwing and Joker look amazing. I love a new goofy face for the Joker instead for a simple smile. Also finally an easy and cheap way to get Nightwing. Supergirl and Brainiac are a big disappointment. Brainiac looks like a child and Supergirl gives me the creeps. I hate myself for not getting their original set. Batman and Harley Queen are meh, I'm kinda getting sick of getting him. The only thing that makes me want the set is the face of Harley, it looks adorable.

I definitely would like to see something different if (since) we are going to keep getting Batman in the Micros. The full lineup has gotten better at acknowledging that Batman has more symbols than just his "Yellow oval" one, but we've yet to see anything else here despite three Micros versions. I feel like a big, chunky Dark Knight Returns styled bat-symbol would work really well for the exaggerated style of these, for example.
