Do1633 Posted January 1, 2020 Posted January 1, 2020 I wonder when we will start getting leaks for the DC Summer Wave, fake or real.
Lionbear8 Posted January 2, 2020 Posted January 2, 2020 Well we have 9 sets. 1 we know of.. 8 TBC Plus any other promos they throw our way Hoping for another healthy year of DC sets

If I had to guess, I’d say around 6, so a fairly substantial wave It’s interesting to see that kind of gap between Marvel and DC the second time in a row, but then again, 2017 and 2018 were very DC-heavy due to TLBM so maybe this is some form of justice? *insert Thanos quote/meme about the perfect balance of things*

Especially with the amount of marvel Disney plus shows coming plus eternals and black widow
MatBoyWonder Posted January 2, 2020 Posted January 2, 2020 has anyone sighted the DC collectible minifig series up for grabs in the UK yet? (I've not made it further than my local asda since the new year and dont want the trek to the toystore to be in vain lol)
samurai-turtle Posted January 2, 2020 Posted January 2, 2020 If you are looking for DC Mini figures check you local Meijer store (if one is close to you) I seen them out at two different stores. Hopefully it will not be picked over by now.

Hopefully we get some surprises as the years passes, as itS already a strong start with the CMFs. Any idea what the the theme will be based on for the sets? Batman or SC universe?

If they were all just Batman-themed sets once again, they could make it worthwhile and have all the Bat-Vehicles adopt the Red/Black/Dark Grey/Trans-Yellow color scheme that The LEGO Batman Movie utilized...

That would be cool, but I think that colour scheme should be allocated for the LBM, you never know, they might sort something out. I would like if they introduced a new colour scheme. What I don't know, let the Lego gods decide for us lol Time will tell!

Bugbot20082 Posted January 3, 2020 Posted January 3, 2020 Just seen the new DC minifigures for sale the first time at the LEGO Shop at Disneyland Paris (first time seeing the shop there too)

No joy at any of the usual retailers in my neck of the woods (Cornwall) either. I asked at an independent toy shop and got a guestimate of middle of the month. Absolutely sickening when the yanks seem to have had them for weeks already. Which continent is Lego from again?

I tried my local shops again with no luck either! I actually got so impatient... that I up and went to my nearest Lego Store at the Metrocentre, which happily had them in! After a staff member spent a good half an hour helping me feel at the bags, I walked away happy! I've picked up Metamorpho, Batmite, Flash, Huntress, Green Lantern, Stargirl, Mr Miracle and Bumblebee (my 8 must haves as the new characters and they are all excellent). Good Luck Hunting!!!

It sounded like my entertainer wouldn’t have them in until middle of the month too. 6 hours ago, MatBoyWonder said: I tried my local shops again with no luck either!

You’re very fortunate! It shouldn’t be too long until I get them.
PremierComix Posted January 4, 2020 Posted January 4, 2020 Whatever we get this year for DC Superheroes altogether I'm hoping for some new heroes/villains from both Batman and DC comic themed sets. I'd love to see at least 6-8 sets for the whole year but until then I'll wait till official reveals. Happy 2020!

As much as I hate to say it, we won’t get 6-8 sets. I hope we get more than usual to compensate for a lack of sets at the beginning of this year.
Duncan Young Posted January 4, 2020 Posted January 4, 2020 I'm still assuming that, continuing on from the dark grey/black Batmobile, Batwing and Batcycle builds last year, we'll complete the usual set this year with a Batboat and Batcopter in those colours as well. For minifigures, I also see a Rebirth Harley, Rebirth/New 52 Bane, and maybe Penguin to continue last year's collection of mainstay Batman villains. I would love a Rebirth Batgirl though (the grey costume that is) and a Rebirth Killer Moth would fit nicely with her. Would I like a greater variety in sets? Absolutely, but it's also Lego. I'm just glad last year finally gave me an official Firefly

Do you have a local WHSmith? That's where I usually find new minifigure series though failing that they're often in Waterstones quite early as well

BitByBrick Posted January 4, 2020 Posted January 4, 2020 Still impatiently waiting on my local Target or Walmart to get the DC CMFs in stock. Both have plenty of old series (Dinsney 2, Lego Movie 2, and series 19) Love the first appearance DC figs. Can’t wait to find them. Got the official “feel guide” ready.
Lionbear8 Posted January 5, 2020 Posted January 5, 2020 a little off topic guys, the creator 3-1 sets, they do they connect to the creator expert line?zz Also the hidden side sets for the new wave, make up great back ground scenes for superhero sets, as mentioned by Just 2 Good. Also still no CMF in Oz! thanks in advance! 6 hours ago, Duncan Young said: I'm still assuming that, continuing on from the dark grey/black Batmobile, Batwing and Batcycle builds last year, we'll complete the usual set this year with a Batboat and Batcopter in those colours as well.

Duncan Young Posted January 5, 2020 Posted January 5, 2020 Just picked up all 16 from my nearest Smyths! Had a casual conversation with a security guard, but it was worth it
