The fact 3rd party retailers have it listed tells you it isn’t “Direct to Consumer”. Same release plan as the Benetar. 9 hours ago, NovaBricks said: We aren't getting a $300 DC set. At best we're getting a '66 Batmobile in November but even that I'm skeptical on. As I've said prior in the thread, they've already re-used a set from a few years ago, and I don't think the '66 Batmobile is particularly popular among anyone outside hardcore Batman fans and people who grew up with the show. I suspect the latter, if not both of those demographics, are too small to target for a $200+ set. Batman '89 is one thing, Batman '66 is a who other world. We got a ‘66 Batmobile because when the ‘66 Batcave came out everyone was asking LEGO store employees if the Batmobile came on it’s own. It’s iconic and it keeps selling out just like the Tumbler. It could hold sales as a D2C just like the other Bat-vehicles. We got the ‘66 Batmobile in April last year and the Thumbler in October. We’ve had 3 sets in January (I live in the UK) and I am sure we will get a couple more spread over the year. 3 hours ago, BrickBob Studpants said: Are you doubting Promobricks? The $500 set is the only one that has a non-zero chance of being DC, and even that one has been hinted at as being Marvel by other leakers I don’t remember seeing Promobricks say the $300 is the Hulkbuster. When did they say the $500 is Marvel either? 5 hours ago, Lionbear8 said: Too many fan boy Marvel rumours! Nothing's confirmed! Exactly. Quote

They reported on the Hulkbuster rumour last November: https://www.promobricks.de/riesiger-lego-hulkbuster-erscheint-2022/132809/ They didn’t confirm a price, only that it’s twice the size of the original one, so it has to be either the $300 set or the $500 one. Unless you suggest there’s even more SH D2C sets coming we don’t know of yet And the $500 one being Marvel has been hinted at multiple times by other leakers Feel free to believe what you want, but I wouldn’t bet on there being a DC D2C set this year Edited February 25, 2022 by BrickBob Studpants Quote
PGBQW Posted February 25, 2022 Posted February 25, 2022 I don't understand the point of this discusion? Okay, let's say that the sanctorum its NOT a D2C? So? We're still not getting any DC sets in any case lmao Quote

Last year‘s minifig-scale Tumbler was brilliant, so I‘m still holding out hope for more of that Quote

Same release plan as the Benetar. Retailers will list such sets on their sites even if they are D2Cs at times. This has happened in the past as well. Usually retailers will get the sets 3 months after the D2C's release, so if the Sanctum is listed as 8/1/22 on their sites ((1/8/22) for y'all in Europe), that means that LEGO will sell it starting around May. The set has been confirmed to be releasing in May/June, alongside of this, giving credence to it being a D2C as well. I could be completely wrong, but everything lines up well. Quote
Falconfan1414 Posted February 25, 2022 Posted February 25, 2022 (edited) It can still be direct to consumer and still be listed on other websites after time. Usually it’s about a 3 month time frame after release. Target has plenty of d2cs up on their site that came on a few months after release Edited February 25, 2022 by Falconfan1414 Quote
TurinTheGreat Posted February 28, 2022 Posted February 28, 2022 So, how many set numbers are left that could be for DC? Quote

The Stud Posted February 28, 2022 Posted February 28, 2022 I should be seeing it on Thursday. Hopefully I really enjoy it; I might buy the Train Station/Bat Cave if I do. Quote
mgetz Posted February 28, 2022 Posted February 28, 2022 I would love to get a minifigure scale val kilmer batmobile at somepoint since we have, Keaton, bale, affleck and pattinson's Quote
thephantasm Posted March 1, 2022 Posted March 1, 2022 Lego is really taking care of my wallet. Good cos I've been spending a lot on other stuff. No dc sets + messing up the batman sets for me. The sanctum sounds awesome but for 200 USD it has to be excellent for me to consider buying it, cos 200usd is a big ask. Quote

JediJosh Posted March 4, 2022 Posted March 4, 2022 I was doing so well avoiding spoilers for this film. I'm going to see it tonight now knowing a massive spoiler. Some people can be such jerks. Quote
BlueberryWaffles Posted March 4, 2022 Posted March 4, 2022 Wow. After seeing the movie (which I adored!) I'm still surprised that we got anything from Lego based on it. Doesn't seem like a toyetic film at all. That being said, absolutely picking up the smaller two sets the next time I see them. Quote
TurinTheGreat Posted March 4, 2022 Posted March 4, 2022 I will watch it Tonight, I have the batcave left to buy. Quote

Honestly same, I feel that this might be one of the darkest films Lego has done wide release sets for. I mean, there’s an F bomb in the first fifteen minutes and Selina’s friend is an escort. Not to mention how the film overall felt more like a gritty crime/corruption thriller or murder mystery than a superhero film. I really enjoyed the film, especially the first 2/3s of it. My interest in 76183 has gone up now, especially because I thought that it cost $100 this whole time when it’s actually only $80. Edited March 4, 2022 by The Stud Quote

rome00150 Posted March 4, 2022 Posted March 4, 2022 They should have closed this thread like they did the Marvel one when NWH came out Quote
