December 19, 201311 yr I don't know why... But it looks kinda intresting Well, it's the same Bats we've seen a hundred times, albeit with the wrong cape. The pose and the background are alright, but I don't know about interesting.
December 19, 201311 yr Finally got the Riddlers Chase yesterday. Flash looks so much better with yellow boots on.
December 19, 201311 yr Are those Spiderwomans boots? They look great on him, and then lightning bolt and T piece on the legs are very symmetric. Great build, wish Lego had gone this route.

Yup, those are Spiderwomans boots on him. He looks so much better with them on, giving a better balance between the yellow and red colors.
December 19, 201311 yr Woah, did you win her at Comic Con? If you did that'd be awesome, but owning nay of her parts is still great too.
December 19, 201311 yr Woah, did you win her at Comic Con? If you did that'd be awesome, but owning nay of her parts is still great too. Yup I won her and Spider Man. Didn't get Black Suit Superman or Green Arrow though. Ironic that I being more of a DC person end up only winning the marvel figures. But still there really nice and wish they were more widely available for everyone.
December 20, 201311 yr 'Vader' on Brickhorizon has posted a review on the Joker Steamroller! (I may be stealing J2G's thunder, hope you dont mind) Still not sold on the monstrosity that's called a Batplane, but the rest of the set looks amazing! Top sets for me right now are the Riddler Chase,the Penguin Set and Juniors Batcave
December 20, 201311 yr Author 'Vader' on Brickhorizon has posted a review on the Joker Steamroller! (I may be stealing J2G's thunder, hope you dont mind) LOL, I don't care who posts it as long as this stuff gets posted. Thanks for posting it speaking of which! The Steamroller has me conflicted. I'm not sure if I'm sold on it or not. It's an interesting design, but it may be a tad clunky.
December 20, 201311 yr The Steamroller looks a lot like a vehicle the Joker would use in one of the older movies in my opinion.
December 20, 201311 yr Same here. Out of all the sets this wave, this is probably my least favourite in terms of a Bat-Vehicle. The Steamroller looks really well done and the minifigs are superb (except for Batman) but the Batplane doesn't male up for the price which is probably going to be $60 CAD, if I do get this set, it'll be the last one and im probably getting all the others and the Juniors Batcave ASAP
December 20, 201311 yr I knew the Steamroller will be brilliant so I'm happy about that...figures absolutely amazing... But the bat plane...why does the wings fold? I'm still going to aim to get this set however!
December 20, 201311 yr I've tried to hunt down an image from the net to see where Lego got the idea for that Batplane......my conclusion is it's a take on early comic book Batplanes.....early meaning 1940's. Must be a reason why the wings fold inwards like they do......it couldn't take-off like that ?
December 20, 201311 yr Eh, the Batplane at least has some pieces I'm looking for to improve on the one from 2012. But the steamroller is good and I still can't get over Batgirl.
December 20, 201311 yr Judging from the photos on the back of the box, the Batplane's wings can act as a clamp to capture the Joker. Never mind that: 1) This would probably kill Joker; 2) The Batplane would crash. Logic aside, ugly is ugly and that thing is ugly. I'll be sticking with my nice classic Batplane from 6863.
December 20, 201311 yr I just don't get why that Batplane doesn't have a front propeller... It looks bizarre and frankly unfinished without one.
December 20, 201311 yr It looks like the Batgirl mask doesn't line up with her eyes right Sort of disappointing.
December 20, 201311 yr I just don't get why that Batplane doesn't have a front propeller... It looks bizarre and frankly unfinished without one. Front propellers are kind of old fashioned and aren't on many planes these days, especially military ones (which Batman's stuff is kind of military). I think it would be odd WITH a propeller. Though this is still a very ugly plane.
December 20, 201311 yr I got the Riddler Chase at Toys R us this morning. I spotted it again later at Target along with the Man Bat set.
December 20, 201311 yr Front propellers are kind of old fashioned and aren't on many planes these days, especially military ones (which Batman's stuff is kind of military). I think it would be odd WITH a propeller. Though this is still a very ugly plane. True, but like lightningtiger said, the Batplane in the set is almost identical to the one seen in the 40s comics. If they were afraid of making the plane look too old-fashioned, then here's a hint: don't base it off of an old-fashioned plane! There's been a plethora of Batplanes and wings over the years, surely LEGO can find one to do an adaptation of...
December 20, 201311 yr I'm still not 100% convinced about the Batplane, but all the new figures and the steamroller have me sold. If need be, I can take the plane apart for extra pieces.
December 20, 201311 yr That Batplan looks so odd, but I love the Steamroller and I'd really like Robin and Batgirl. So, what's the price on it? Maybe I can get it on Amazon for 20-30% off next year… Also, am I the only one who thinks Batgirl would look way better with a dark purple cape and boot printing? Utter lack of boot printing in DC is depressing, but I'm guessing TLG likes not spending money on leg printing…
December 20, 201311 yr Has anyone else noticed the shield symbol in the back of the Spider-Helicopter? I find that interesting.
December 20, 201311 yr Yup I won her and Spider Man. Didn't get Black Suit Superman or Green Arrow though. Ironic that I being more of a DC person end up only winning the marvel figures. But still there really nice and wish they were more widely available for everyone. I was hoping somebody would try that. It does look very nice, but I am sure everyone knows why they didn't include printed legs. To save that version for another set so we can spend more money.
December 21, 201311 yr It looks like the Batgirl mask doesn't line up with her eyes right Sort of disappointing. That was the one thing that annoyed me about the Catwoman minifigure. Shame to see it happen again on Batgirl. Still a nice figure though.
