SoupOrFishOil Posted December 7, 2011 Posted December 7, 2011 This probably means that the Superman set is out! Hopefully, but another Mexican factory worker probably just got a hold of them, and somebody bought the figures. Or the factory worker just had good photography skills. But if it is out: Quote
Masked Builder Posted December 7, 2011 Posted December 7, 2011 I found the new Super Heroes Batwing Battle over Gotham City (6863) on toysrus.com. Here's a link. $40 isn't bad. On another note, the Two-Face set is no longer on the site.... Quote
GRogall Posted December 7, 2011 Posted December 7, 2011 Added more pics from the Super Heroes sets to my BS gallery Warning pictures can be 2500+ pxl The Folders still need to go public.... Enjoy! :pir-laugh: Quote

I hope that's a mark-up, I was really sure it would be $30. I suppose it includes The Joker, so they think that they can do whatever they want with it. Maybe with some people, but to me, he's just another killer clown I still want him though because I hate clowns!

Enjoy! :pir-laugh: Do you mean that you purchased the sets, or this that this is just a collection of pictures we've already seen? I'm interested either way though, but if it's the former, I'd really love to know. Quote
VenVoi Posted December 7, 2011 Posted December 7, 2011 (edited) Batwing Battle is now in stock on TRU! It's still marked up to $39.99, but I sacrificed the extra $10 for my favorite villain. I threw in a couple of small purchases for my cousins to reach the $49 free shipping minimum. Also, if you order it now make sure you're signed up for their rewards program- you get 10% back on all purchases through December 24th. And here...we...GO! Edited December 7, 2011 by VenVoi Quote

To my knowledge, it wasn't available for purchase before I posted (it, along with the two constraction figures have been out of stock up until this evening). Edited December 8, 2011 by VenVoi Quote
SoupOrFishOil Posted December 8, 2011 Posted December 8, 2011 No I don't think it is as it was just put up and it takes a few weeks for the markup. I can hope, but I'm doubtful. I was actually surprised that it had been (supposedly) been going for $30 before, because I've been comparing the price points to Harry Potter. Maybe this means that the Batcave will be upped ten dollars to match the Hogwarts Express price, or preferably lowered ten dollars to match the Burrow price. I doubt the latter, but hopefully not the former. Quote

Enjoy! :pir-laugh: Thanks for those pics. Are they printed pieces in the joker set or has someone done an extraordinary job placing stickers and then photoshopping the edges of them? Quote

These pictures are rendered with a computer like they do with Sponge Bob, Architecture and Pixar's cars series! Quote
SoupOrFishOil Posted December 8, 2011 Posted December 8, 2011 (edited) The LEGO Super Heroes webpage is up It also shows a couple new accessories for characters, like Riddler's crowbar Edited December 8, 2011 by Superficial Username Quote
Aanchir Posted December 8, 2011 Posted December 8, 2011 These pictures are rendered with a computer like they do with Sponge Bob, Architecture and Pixar's cars series! True, but renders are used for many of LEGO's themes these days, and yet stickers are still recognizable. The only themes where I know TLG tends to have their renders deviate strongly from the actual sets are BIONICLE and Hero Factory, in which the high-res images tend to have "battle damage". The earlier BIONICLE sets also would have certain pieces "hinge" along points that are solid plastic in the real thing. Of course, sometimes without a high-res image you can't tell the difference between stickers and printing. For instance, if you view this image at full size, you can tell that his eyes are printed and most of his other parts are stickered (the edges of the stickers are visible). But when viewed at only 20% of its size (which my browser scales it to unless you click to zoom in), it's almost impossible to tell whether the flag is printed or stickered, and the same for his eyes.

Tamamono Posted December 8, 2011 Posted December 8, 2011 The LEGO Super Heroes webpage is up It also shows a couple new accessories for characters, like Riddler's crowbar The 'match the characters to their names' game includes the Two-Face Henchmen and the Joker Henchman, but no mention of Henchmen for Riddler or Harley. If this game is any indicator of the minifigures included in the sets, then I think it's safe to say that the Riddler and Harley sets will only include 2 minifigures each (or 3, if they decide to include Robin in one of them). This suggests to me that the two sets will probably be on the medium side for size, and the fact that we haven't pictures for either of them yet might mean that they're exclusives. In any case, I can't wait to see that Riddler set! Quote

I'm sure you're right about that 4. Me too! Quote

I'm sure you're right about that 4. Me too! I meant that they would be two separate sets, each with Batman and either Harley/Riddler. Although it would probably make more sense for it to be one Arkham set, since most exclusives are usually in the 35-50 USD range (but they will have to downsize the set a bit for it to fit into that range ). I just hope we get an Arkham Asylum as good as the last one! Quote
surrideo Posted December 8, 2011 Posted December 8, 2011 Nice to see the website looking much tidier and up and running. So I know you can order the Batwing site off Tru.com, is that to most peoples knowledge the only set in the public domain at this time? Quote

According to a comment on brickset, somebody found all of the sets except for the Batcave somewhere in New York. I hope it's true....

Prepare for down-size, just like everything else (except for Catwoman's motorcycle and Two-Face's truck ) Edited December 8, 2011 by Superficial Username Quote
SpiderSpaceman Posted December 9, 2011 Posted December 9, 2011 So, being a 1x1 printed tile, there's gotta be an extra twoface coin in the batmobile set, eh? Gotta update my classic twoface. Quote
just2good Posted December 9, 2011 Posted December 9, 2011 (edited) Someone on eBay in New Jersey has acquired 6862... 6863... and 6858. Edited December 9, 2011 by just2good Quote

I hope so, especially if it isn't the scarred side. That way, I could draw the scratches on one, and have both sides for pictures. But even if not, I could always put the extra in the Batcave. Quote

Ceroknight Posted December 9, 2011 Posted December 9, 2011 I like the batwing the more I see it! Can't wait Quote

surrideo Posted December 9, 2011 Posted December 9, 2011 And I thought TRU's mark up was ridiculous... A true case of " And the horse you rode in on" The mark up on the Catwoman and Superman sets is quite something even taking into account the "free" shipping. Ah Christmas! Fair play if they get both prices, supply and demand, but no way would I pay a % mark up like that in pounds. Our currency conversion is already awful Quote
