Vindicare Posted July 31, 2011 Posted July 31, 2011 I think it's extremely unlikely that these are the replacements. Firstly, this is a license/Intellectual Property, whereas Atlantis and Pharaoh's Quest are un-lisenced themes/Play themes. It would be akin to suggesting that Harry Potter was a replacement for Alpha Team. Secondly, replacements for those sort of themes always follow a similar motif, e.g. Space Police (involved Aliens) was replaced with Alien Conquest (involved Aliens). I think that by know it is pretty easy to see that Atlantis will be discontinued. But that won't be because of super heroes. We are entering August and it seems this is the month in which you start hearing about sets for the next year (or rather Christmas season). When I say replacement I didn't mean like a direct replacement as you(Flitwick) said about SP to AC. I meant replacement as in Lego themes in general. An example of my thoughts would be, say Lego has "10" themes currently in production. In this list are Pharaohs Quest and Atlantis. They scratch out the aforementioned themes and replace them in the list with DC and Marvel. Does that make sense? Hopefully it does. Quote
LandShark Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 I'm extremely excited for both of these lines despite the fact that I'm mainly a DC fan. This is just amazning news! I especially can't wait for the return on the Batman line. On a random note, I made this wallpaper in anticipation of the line. I figured I'd share it in case anyone else wants to use it. Enjoy! http://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/284269_10150320918291255_670766254_9355040_959039_n.jpg Wow, that looks great! I hope Lego uses the license to make some cool wallpapers like this. Quote
Dat zombie Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 Thanks for posting all this in one thread Hinck! So great to see those new Super heroes. Will be really exited to see the sets as well that those figs will be in. Guess we have to wait a few months to see them though. Might we get a black Spiderman now as well? Please, please, please!! Y carn't they remaster spiderman.like the last one and the rumoured upcoming one it just makes sence with they other heros coming out. Quote
Piranha Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 I remember reading somewhere they are making Spider-man again but comic book style or something? Sounds cool I am guessing larger more animated print. I am thinking about how the sets are going to be made, I hope each character gets their own set and not multiples in one set. Also anyone think the SDCC Batman will make it into a set because I think that is the best rendition yet and prices are ridiculous. Plus it only says preview fig not limited/exclusive. Quote
God Iron Posted August 2, 2011 Posted August 2, 2011 (edited) I doubt that the Black Batman will get re-released as it was stated specifically that only 1500 were made. (Don't know if that was each or combined with Green Lantern.) The two Comic-Con figures seem the be based off the movie versions so that's another nail in the coffin. A swell I hope they aren't remade. I know this sounds very spiteful but I've bought Lantern and will be buying the Batman Figure as well to add to my collection and as an investment. If ever I fell on hard times I could sell them and in a few years the price will have sky-rocketed. That's if they don't get released in normal sets. By the way, I think that Joker Mini fig is absolutely horrible. It's like they went out of there way to make it bad. Edited August 2, 2011 by God Iron Quote

By the way, I think that Joker Mini fig is absolutely horrible. It's like they went out of there way to make it bad. But the press release states they are making sets off the next Batman film. So that would mean black suit batman. 3000 total, 1500 each. I really think they are just preview figs and will be in actual sets. to qoute the actual description card the fig came attached to: You hold in your hand one of a very limited number of preview-edition LEGO SUPER HEROES. Based off that I reason two things: Limited number: Correct they only handed out 3000 of them. "Preview-Edition" NOT "Special Edition" Same thing happened with the White Boba Polybag, they were $500-600 shortly after release then became more common and you could get for $20. Also that is a true SE, not Preview Boba. That is why he isn't in any set. Edited August 3, 2011 by Macoco Quote
legofett5 Posted August 3, 2011 Posted August 3, 2011 I wanted to get the green lantern figure, but couldn't make it to comic con. I hope they make green lantern sets, but seeing how there aren't really any ships or bases, it'd be kind of weird. Anyone know what prices are online for a GL figure? Quote
God Iron Posted August 3, 2011 Posted August 3, 2011 I bought mine for £50 on Ebay. There are quite a few there last time I checked. Quote
Miss Kyle Posted August 3, 2011 Posted August 3, 2011 (edited) I remember reading somewhere they are making Spider-man again but comic book style or something? Sounds cool I am guessing larger more animated print. There will be a remake of the film, they are currently filming it with Andrew Garfield. Is that what you meant? http://www.denofgeek...Spider-Man%202/ Edited August 3, 2011 by Miss Kyle Quote

Is that what you meant? http://www.denofgeek...Spider-Man%202/ i think he jsut means what it said in the press release. lego will sell elgo sets based of the comics. (seeing as they dont own the rights to the movie) i dont think this emans it will look like a comic styled, simplay that it wont look like it does in the movies Btw, the movie is a reboot of the franchise, not a remake of any film.

ReZourceman Posted August 3, 2011 Posted August 3, 2011 Wait.....Green Lantern is limited edition... ....This....oh god....no....please no... Quote
vexorian Posted August 3, 2011 Posted August 3, 2011 (edited) The comic con green lantern is limited edition. There will most likely be a different green lantern fig that will not be exclusive. Edited August 3, 2011 by vexorian Quote
Blondie-Wan Posted August 3, 2011 Posted August 3, 2011 I don't know, but I could see the Batman and Green Lantern figures being both "limited edition" and just "previews" of some of the figures included with regular sets next year - they could be limited in the sense of the overall Comic-Con set (i.e., the whole package - the figure parts in the packaging they come with) being limited to this release (you won't be able to to Toys 'R' Us and buy a little baggie with a card and a minifigure that says "Comic-Con," etc.), but the figures themselves could still be in regular sets.

This is what I was thinking, same with the SDCC SW set being just the advent calender in SDCC packaging. Quote
deskp Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 (edited) Got green lantern and batman in the mail today! Here is a picture of batmans new faceprint, hes head is only printed on one side. Edited August 4, 2011 by deskp Quote
Mr. Elijah Timms Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 This is what I was thinking, same with the SDCC SW set being just the advent calender in SDCC packaging. Bricktober, maybe...??? Next year, certainly not this year... Quote
foolio93 Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 I don't like that they say that they're releasing X-Men sets buts just wolverine and other characters who have a small part in the X-men. I love Deadpool, but he's no X-man. Quote
Delta 38 Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 Here is a picture of batmans new faceprint, hes head is only printed on one side. Wait, so Batman's eyes are... a headband? A double-sided "masked" face would be good, because the head looks strange with the headband-thing. Quote
foolio93 Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 Yeah batman's eyes have always been like that. I have one from the tumbler set and its the same thing. Quote
sok117 Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 Joker's head for just 15RMB + shipping My EYES!!!!! Thats just an awful face, the hair, the eyes, the everything! Quote
Pirate Pete Posted August 5, 2011 Posted August 5, 2011 Well, TLC is definitely going for the Batman:The Brave and the Bold look for the Joker action figure, I actually kind of like it... it looks demented and hystarical like the Joker should be. Im not going to buy it though, rather save my money for the system sets when they come out, the minifigures look great so far, and I cant wait to see the finalized Marvel ones Quote
Idabrick Posted August 5, 2011 Posted August 5, 2011 Yes, Wonder Woman! Curious if Supergirl will be in the line up in the the future. Stop hating on the Hulk- I like that he's bigger (like the Wampa, Troll designs) makes more sense. I think Iron Man's head could use some work. It looks kind of (gulp!) Mega Blok-ish. Love Superman's hair- gotta have that iconic center curl! Quote
Padme#1 Posted August 6, 2011 Posted August 6, 2011 (edited) Poison Ivy has cool hair! It has leaves in it. Edited August 6, 2011 by Padme#1 Quote
