A few are available on eBay. That's how I got mine.

D2C Arkham is the way. DC needs its own Daily Bugle with an abundance of villain figs and the current Batcave simply ain’t it. 

100% agree.  Aside from the fact that we’ve already got a few variants of Keaton’s Batman rouges we’ve also had a shed ton of those particular characters anyway.  We need Ventriloquist, Black Mask, Mad Hatter etc, even a death stroke with a removable helmet would be a dream.

I think we all agree 😂. If only that would make it so 🤔.

I wouldn't count that.

This probably won't help since I'm your upstairs Canadian neighbor, but I managed to find a bunch of them the day they went on sale on June 5th at my nearest Toys R Us, where they were mixed in a bin with the other recent polybags. I'm lucky I managed to grab a few that day because afterwards I noticed that they set a limit of 2 per customer...which was kind of pointless because it's been over a month now and it's been sold out ever since. I check the Toys R Us website every couple days and it still says "Out of Stock" for the TRU I went to as well as any other nearby locations. I'm starting to think it might be exclusive to Toys R Us in Canada because I've yet to find them at any Walmart, the only Super Heroes polybag I've seen there is the Doctor Strange portal one.

Side-note, the new Batman face print is easily my favorite modern Batman head by far. It's like Lego took the 2006 head/my personal favorite Batman face print and updated it for today. Comparing it side by side with the 2006 head/cowl (thanks to these pics from lego.boy95's IG), it looks like the spiritual successor to the '06 version to me, and just for that I'm going to need a few more of them. I just hope Lego doesn't retire this head so soon after introducing the new cowl that renders one side of the head obsolete...

anybody know why the batcave minifigs have yet to be officially added on bricklink?

It always takes some time after the set releases. Granted, a month is a little long, but we'll see them eventually.

After seeing both of these side-by-side, I don't think I can definitively say that one is better than the other. The standalone version has a few better details like more accurate looking side air intakes, 1 x 2 slope grille pieces to represent those exhausts things that are next to the cockpit, hubcaps, as well as a bonus feature of a trunk. However, the Batcave version has the better angled fins and interior design.

I think if you were to modify the 50 dollar version with a few details from the Batcave design, you could end up with the best of both worlds (besides the biggest glaring issue of not being a two seater).

I honestly hope DC jumpstarts again for Superman, because the new lineup sounds exciting.

Not sure how big a role they’ll play, but I’d love to get Mr Terrific, Guy Gardner, and a Hawkgirl that actually goes with the Hawkman figure from 2015.

Hopefully 2025 is the year we see a modular Daily Planet set released alongside the new Superman film. I think its going to come down to either that or the Baxter Building for the Fantastic Four reboot.

The Daily Bugle should be close to retired by that point so having another press building on the market shouldn't be an issue.

Please. It's hard to believe I have been waiting for a Daily Planet set since this theme was announced twelve years ago.

Why not both? =D

 

If you don’t have the CMF Metamorpho yet, you might want to get it soon before the aftermarket skyrockets as his appearance in Superman Legacy!

It's been on sale for a week and we have literally no insight into how it's doing. It would not be on sale yet regardless of sales performance. 

I think its selling better then the Hulkbuster and black panther Bust. Seeing alot on social media.

I suspect you're right. Some of the initial bad press seems to have died down after people got their hands on it. I'll still wait for a sale as the Tumbler is a higher priority right now assuming it retires this year.

Based on the Dr Strange Polybag I expect the Batman one to arrive around August. The Dr Strange was available in February, but didn't show up in retail until May.

Same, sale is only way,  unless the lego site pulls in double point's and an gwp.  Have not seen the set in person,  but you are right the reviews seem better when people actually build it and display it. A must for Batman fans!

This really pisses me off, because I have never seen any of those blindbags in Spain.

Not on the official Lego Store, not in the franchised one, and not on third party retailers.

I already missed in the bridge Spider-man one and on the Dr Strange portal, so I'm gonna get mad if I miss Batman too!

Lego doesn't sell them in their stores. Those are strictly made for retail shops. Here in the states we see them at Target, Walmart, Meijer, and locally owned lego shops. I suggest checking to see if Spain has any local lego stores not run by LEGO.

Here in Australia where we have Certified Stores rather than directly LEGO-run stores, all the polybags do show up in those Certified Stores and not in general big chain retail stores. 

So it definitely depends where you are in the world.

I saw the strange one mounted on a magazine but I haven't seen the others in the UK either. I'd have quite liked the spider-man one as I am without that suit or any like it ( i.e black instead of blue, I do intend to get the statue (head) 🗽 of liberty but that peter has the big gold spider so it's still quite different).

I hope I can get the batman one.

I already said this in the Marvel thread, but there may or may not be a leak of the new Marvel CMF. In it, Storm’s hair would be perfect for Livewire. 
 

You know, if they decide to include characters other than Batman and Joker.

That's a good thought, if I get multiples of storm I can replace the generic mohawk my Livewire has.

Only way I see us maybe getting Livewire is if she’s in Superman Legacy. And that’s only if we actually get sets for Superman Legacy and she plays a major role in the film.
