Wait till he hears about Goku. Or what Alfred can do at 1% of his true power.

Are you sure you aren't 15 Furbies in a trench coat? Because you have like 5 signature moves you like to repeat at nauseam

• "Lasereye is OP"
• "TLG hate DC"
• "unrealistic wishlist"
• "pointless poll"
• "random uncommented video"

I'm still not sure if you're locked in this asylum with us, or we with you

Wow, you kind of just listed it all perfectly. There's really nothing else I can think of.

Season 4: Lazarus Tournament set ideas

Batgirl’s Arena Racer: Tournament Batgirl and Lady Shiva. Build is a black and gold motorcycle.

Tournament Training (£14.99): Tournament Yara Flor (black leather armour with silver accents), Shadow Assassin and Tournament Batman (Zero Year suit)

Tournament Participants Character Pack (£19.99): Ravager (Rose Wilson), Arsenal, Beast Boy and Starfire.

Nightwing’s off-roader (£24.99): Tournament Nightwing (Agent 37 inspired), League of Shadows Assassin, Redhood and Tournament Batgirl (Orphan Inspired)

Shadow Chopper (£44.99): Kyle Rayner, Supergirl, Talia al Ghul, Deathstroke and a Shadow Assassin.

Lazarus Arena (£79.99): Tournament Aqualad (black body suit with silver accents and silver Atlantean logo on belt), Ras Al Ghul, Damian Wayne (Assassin), Flatline, Cassie Sandsmark (New 52 inspired), Raven and a Shadow Assassin. Build incorporates a fighting arena, spectator balcony and Damian’s Goliath.

League of Shadows Laboratory Raid (£49.99): Harvest, Tournament Batgirl, Speedforce Discharge Wally West, Superboy (New 52 Kon El design), Bunker (New 52) and a Shadow Assassin.

Trigon the Terrible (£64.99): Tournament Nightwing, Demonic Raven, Evil Superboy (New 52 Jon Kent design), Tournament Yara Flor, Damian Wayne (Robin), Etrigan and Tournament Batgirl.

 

This season’s storyline is an amalgamation of sorts of the Lazarus Tournament and New 52’s “The Culling” storylines. Supergirl and Kyle don’t have Tournament suits because they are seen as too OP to be invited.

I know this probably isn’t as strong as the previous season. But I believe that Season 5 will be a banger.

Woo, very intentional tournament of elements vibes and it works.

This might not be the only buildable trigon a Lego DC wishlist wave we see this year.

Hey guys our chances of getting Nightwing sets have just risen exponentially.

Also what do you guys think of the Absolute DC line that’s just been announced? 

Why is Starfire on the Justice League? Is she lost?

Season 5 set ideas will be posted some point soon if you guys would like to see them.

I think Dick makes a better Bruce than Bruce makes a Dick? But that's just looks I'm on about. Definitely an interesting choice to make Bruce stand in for Dick.

I'm intrigued by the absolute line. Is it a while separate universe? I'd like that, easier to jump into. Superman has nice hair, Diana's accessorising with tats and bigass sword but Batman looks like he turned all his adopted children into protein shakes and drank them down with a barrel full of steroids.

It's an interesting team for the league. Starfire is the next titan serving a term after cyborg I guess? Beast Boy next? Booster seems to be picked because they know he's gonna get a movie but it's nice to see him anyway.

SUPERMAN FLIES AND WEARS UNDERWEAR, I DON'T WANT COMICBOOK STUFF IN MY COMICBOOK MOVIES!

I hope most people wear underwear, why's that considered weird comic book stuff?

On 7/18/2024 at 3:48 PM, CloneCommando99 said:

Either way I’m hoping for a brand new superman print. And Lex, if that’s who it is, to have a power armour print.

If not power armour then perhaps his weird jumpsuit. The one he wore to steal those forty you-know-whats ( and that's as many as four tens and that's terrible)

Not the Jim Starwars head, anything but that!

I kinda like that head, I used it for a minifig of me...  but I usually use the shire Frodo ( though I wear glasses but they're not on as many heads, hopefully we'll get a glasses Clark head this year)

Green and Yellow Lantern Jessica Cruz (£9.99)

Nightwing’s Light-Hunter (£39.99): Nightwing (space-suit), Batgirl (Yellow Lantern), Bleez, Bd’g and Dex-Starr. (Basically a nightwing starfighter)

Green Lantern Corps Patrol Cruiser (£79.99): Jessica Cruz (Green Lantern), Aqualad (Space-suit), Orange Lantern Larfleeze, Batgirl (Space-suit), Kyle Rayner (Ion), Red Lantern Atrocitus and Red Lantern Rankorr.

Thoughts? Have I cooked? Or have I gone too far this time?

You cooked, though I'm not sure what some of builds would look like, like rise of Nekron or lantern brawl. But if these were real they'd all be on my wishlist.

Also wooo Razer mention!!!! I recently watched YJ S4 ( still annoyed at no proper UK release but I gave up my morals and watched *Ahem* improperly ) and I was disappointed with how little he was in it, his appearance I knew about but I thought he was gonna have a bigger part. Still hoping they haven't forgotten about YJ s5. Or a potential GLtAS continuation.

And just to pour more salt on the wound, it turns out the printed bat symbol logo bricks are double sided: https://www.instagram.com/p/C9kYXbIIh4Z/ 

So instead of each of them being their own separate piece it's Bronze Age/1966, '89/The Dark Knight Trilogy, and BTAS/The Batman. So if you want to have a complete set of them all standing together, you have to buy multiples.

That is very surprising to me. I kinda thought that layer of print between bricks might have an effect on build tolerances or something? Like not an individual scale but still something they'd avoid at a design level? I guess not, I mean it does happen all the time with heads at torsos but I through brick to brick might be different?

For those who want to build all 8 BrickHeadz, Stonewars put together a list of all the extra parts you need on top of two copies of the set itself: https://www.stonewars.de/news/lego-batman-brickheadz-40748-alle-acht-bauen/

They even compiled a list for PAB  Excellent work @StoneWarsDE, much appreciated!

Can any of us truly be sure at given moment of anything at all? Including whether or not we and all that we consider to be ourselves is not truly of our own existence and understanding?

Are we not perhaps the Furbys ourselves and he then not the 15 humans in a trench coat? Why does a trench own a coat?

You can easily change the name from your account settings, but you can't change it back for a whole year.

Which I wouldn't mind, but I'm not sure if you can go back to the original name afterwards.

Anyways, my Superman profile picture is now part of LEGO DC Eurobricks lore so there's that.

It's a bit hazy on the details so far. It appears to be the characters as if they were first created now rather than in the pre-war period. I know that Batman has nothing of what traditionally makes him Batman, so he's built himself up as almost  wrestler like. Not sure on the other two other than the new looks they're sporting. What I don't know is if this is a new Earth, an Elseworld, or the new continuity. It looks like they are going down the same route as the Ultimate universe in Marvel. I'm not sure what to think of it yet.

Thanks! The Rise of Nekron would be a Nekron buildable figure (with a Black Lantern fridge for Kyle). The Lantern Brawl’s just a bunch of assorted constructs for the characters within.

Then he’s a powerful silly billy. Alfred could still take him on without kryptonite.

 

When the Superman mech releases, do we have to go back to being sane? I kinda like the fact that this thread has become the most energetic and entertaining on the forum because we are 90% jonks. I don’t want to go back to being sane. It’s quite boring.

Anyone else want to keep things insane on next year’s thread? Who am I kidding, as long as Turtle’s here the Aslume will be business as usual.

Do we know how well the ShadowBox sold, I'm guessing poorly as i didnt see it on shelfs at my local lego store. Does this mean the chances of an Arkham D2C has shrunk?

Don't ask questions. Mr. Turtle runs this Aslume, so even though we might not know what he's up to, it's all a part of an elaborate scheme that will start unfolding at the proper time and place.

[BrickBob Studpants]

...we should buy police sets so they can see the demand for Arkham...? Yeah, by that logic, let's also buy the following:

• all the botanical sets for a new Poison Ivy
• all the discontinued Vidiyo sets for Music Meister
• all the Mario, Animal Crossing, Minecraft, Sonic, and Fortnite sets for sets based on the Arkham games
• all the Architecture sets for Wayne Manor
• all the Goblet of Fire sets that include Cedric and the Twilight Ideas set for more sets based on The Batman
• all the Space and Star Wars sets for Green Lanterns stuff
• all the Friends sets for the Superfriends
• all of the Marvel sets so they can see the demand for more superhero sets

Let's not buy DC sets though. These we should boycott to teach them a lesson

Guys! Don't you subscribe Mini superheroes today for example? ... Those LEGO/CITY/Police sets (2024) are like from Gotham City. In my CUSTOM Shadow Box MOC... all those characters are involved. Police and robbers. TOTAL MAYHEM!!!

Also there is a SWAT theme,,, yes? Do you know what SWAT team... well that one... from The LEGO Movie. AND guess what, Batman was involved in those sets...
