lightningtiger Posted November 21, 2011 Posted November 21, 2011 For Riddler's set, Brickipedia also says It may be the same set as TBA Super Heroes 2 What is TBA Super Heroes 2? There name for Harley's set. Speaking of Harley's set, that says It may be the same set as TBA Super Heroes 1 , so they aren't promising anything. All that they are saying is that there are new Harley and Riddler figures, and that they are going to come out in (a) set(s). I would guess Super Heroes 2 is the second wave of sets, each wave I believe will be short, shape and shiny - that means once they are gone they are gone for good....buy as soon as you see them (advice I have been given by retailers already).

No, it's their article for the set Harley comes in. Super Heroes 1 is for whichever one Riddler comes in. They say on both pages that there is a possibility that they are one in the same. Quote
K.Kreations Posted November 22, 2011 Posted November 22, 2011 These sets look great and I'm excited for all the new minifigures! Quote
King of Nynrah Posted November 22, 2011 Posted November 22, 2011 I'm still annoyed that there's no Green Lantern set... hopefully there'll be one in the summer, released alongside the Spiderman set with Spidey and Doc Ock. Quote
Brinstar Posted November 22, 2011 Posted November 22, 2011 Considering the astronomical prices that the old Batman Lego sets go for, I'm delighted that Lego are releasing some new sets although I must admit to not being blown away. Many look very similar to the previous line and in a number of cases not as good. I'll probably pick up copies of the Superman vs Power Armour Lex and the Batmobile and Two Face Chase as they look like the best sets of the wave. The Batcave is unfortunately particularly uninspiring. I'm hopeful that lego will release a Tumbler later in the year. Quote
Cedric the Brick Posted November 22, 2011 Posted November 22, 2011 are these all the sets coming out in january or there will be marvel sets too (in january I mean)? Quote
Darth Nihilus Posted November 22, 2011 Posted November 22, 2011 are these all the sets coming out in january or there will be marvel sets too (in january I mean)? The Marvel sets aren't coming out until May. Quote
surrideo Posted November 23, 2011 Posted November 23, 2011 Reading a few of the posts in the preceding few pages and knowing how comic book merchandise normally works, plus the scheduling for future Marvel Avengers releases and The Dark Knight Rises sets. Ill definitely be preordering/buying on sight or direct from Lego when these come out in January as I can see them being pseudo limited edition and the astronomical prices of Batman sets to remain. Still haunted by being in Schwartz in New York 3 years ago and not buying the Batman lego they had there as Id find it elsewhere. Idiot! Quote
has a differing opinion Posted November 23, 2011 Posted November 23, 2011 what can I do if you're wrong? No, I sure hope he does! If not, Lego would have made a pretty big blunder. Perhaps the wings is his cape being used as a glider like in the arkham asylum game? Quote
dr jones Posted November 23, 2011 Posted November 23, 2011 Perhaps the wings is his cape being used as a glider like in the arkham asylum game? Yes, but we're talking about the inclusion of a real fabric cape. I really like the fact that they made a piece for the wings, so that we don't have a huge construction on his back, but it woeld be reaaly cheap of Lego not to include the normal cape. Quote

They are including a (currently) exclusive mold in that set. Quote
dr jones Posted November 23, 2011 Posted November 23, 2011 Cheap? They are including a (currently) exclusive mold in that set. Maybe I misphrased, I wasn't talking about price, I meant that it would be really 'idiotic' of Lego not to include a normal cape for reasons I have already explained I hope I don't sound to impolite, if so, it's not intended.

You don't sound impolite. And your reasoning is that Batman should always have his cape, right? Well, he technically does, it's just like has a differing opinion said, the wings probably are his cape. But I understand why you're upset, if you aren't planning on buying the batcave, you won't have a complete blue Batman. I'd just hope that what Willybob said about there being a cape is true, even though I don't know where he got that from. Quote

Two capes would be great, one for persuit and the other for arrest. Quote
Aanchir Posted November 25, 2011 Posted November 25, 2011 I think the wings are not meant to be his cape-- if they are, they're probably meant to be a more specialized cape, since it has a jetpack attached. Now, with that said, I think it's silly to assume TLG should have included a cape as well. Honestly, that's like saying that any Indiana Jones set with Indy in an alternate outfit should also include all the parts for Indy's more "iconic" outfit with jacket and hat. It's excessive, and it's unnecessary for the scenes such sets are meant to depict. The same applies here-- clearly, Batman isn't meant to be wearing his regular cape in the scene this set depicts, and it's irrelevant whether his outfit here matches his most iconic depictions. Quote

Thank you, that's what I've been trying to say. I don't have a problem with it, because I'm planning on getting the Batcave, but I realize how people who aren't will be disappointed. I would still love if it came in the Catwoman set, as I said before, yay for extras! Quote

Kinda like in Batman Returns. Although not entirely a jetpack, his cape had a glider attachment. -Omi Edited November 25, 2011 by Omicron Quote

In the 'Escape from Shanghai' set, the most iconic piece of dr. Jones' equipment was included: his hat.And it wasn't even in that scene in the movie. why not do the same here, But with Batman's cape?

Velika314 Posted November 26, 2011 Posted November 26, 2011 As far as the cape issue goes, I have mixed feelings about it. The smallest set in the LEGO Superheroes line includes an exclusive new "gliding cape" piece for Batman's cape. The smallest set also includes a dark blue "classic" Batman, while all the others have the black Batman. This would be great, but there is only one other set to get the dark blue cloth cape that would go with the dark blue suit. That other set happens to be the most expensive in the line. For many of us, spending $99 on a set just to get a dark blue cloth cape is silly. Many buyers who would like to collect every version of Batman in its entirety don't wish to pay that $99 to complete the classic Batman. I'm going to buy all the superheroes sets I can get my hands on, but I realize this issue and do hope that Lego includes that cape so that buyers don't have to buy an expensive set to get it. This is just my opinion on this issue. Quote

But why pay extra for a cape that should have been included in the set anyways? Hopefully the prices on bricklink won't be too high. Quote
Omicron Posted November 26, 2011 Posted November 26, 2011 Hopefully the prices on bricklink won't be too high. Keep hoping. The current prices are ridiculous, especially considering that it is a cape. -Omi Quote

Yes, but this is his cape, it is not the most iconic part of Batman's outfit. That would probably be the cowl, which last time I checked, was included in all four sets. Quote
