Solscud007 Posted March 9, 2014 Posted March 9, 2014 My wife was in Chicago for work. She stopped by the Lego Store and got me Martian Manhunter. Now I need a Green Lantern. Quote
korpen4444 Posted March 9, 2014 Posted March 9, 2014 Nice picture ^ Can't wait for my MM to get here. Now all I need is Flash. Quote
B-Lister Posted March 9, 2014 Posted March 9, 2014 J'onn is a great figure, Korpen. Flash is pretty amazing too, the set he's included with is a lot of fun. Quote
korpen4444 Posted March 9, 2014 Posted March 9, 2014 I know! Can't wait for either! But I'll have to get Flash next month. Plus, the set has my favorite Batman figure! Can someone take a picture of Flash, Superman, Wonder Woman, J'onn, BTB Batman, and Aquaman? If you have any of the SDCC figs, can you include them too? Quote
sithewok Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 Got my MM from Shop at Home today. A great minifigure, in my opinion. Makes me wish I had more of the DC figures. Quote
korpen4444 Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 Makes me wish I had more of the DC figures. They are really good! Quote
jFox Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 Looks like they're all out: http://www.fbtb.net/2014/03/11/martian-manhunter-no-more/. Quote
Lego dad Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 http://www.thebrickfan.com/no-more-martian-manhunter-minifigures-available-on-lego-shop-at-home/ I imagine the secondary market price is going to be pretty high. Glad I didn't wait. Quote
iamwhoiam Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 Great review Sir Brickalot! I have this polybag but I'm keeping it sealed for now, Might go up in value in the future! Quote
BrickG Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 "might"? Ploybags like this go up in value 100% of the time. Probably $20-30 real soon. Might hover there for a while. Quote
The Jersey Brick Guy Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 Mine came in today. I love it! Quote
BrickG Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 I'm annoyed that GL and Green Arrow and still comic con exclusives. Supposedly a GL is coming soon... but still. Just give me GL (preferably John Stewart) and Hawkgirl and I'm good. Also maybe more "sidekicks" would be awesome since right now like 100% of them are from the Bat family. Quote
B-Lister Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 Big fan of sidekicks, hence my name. Speedy, Kid Flash, Aqualad, Wonder Girl, Impulse, etc. would make me very happy. Superboy, Static, Blue Beetle (Jaime), Ravager, etc. would be icing on the cake. Quote
Lego dad Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 The Lego store in Schaumburg, Il still has MMs left as of today. Looked like they still had a fair amount still to give away. Quote
B-Lister Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 The YJ sidekicks, that's all I want. That's mostly who I listed. Quote
korpen4444 Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 That's mostly who I listed. Forgetting: Rocket, Artemis, Miss Martian, Red Arrow, Arsenal, Guardian, Bumblebee, etc. Quote
B-Lister Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 I mentioned Speedy, who is Roy Harper. Plus, if we get 'em, it's quite likely they'd be in the comic outfits, unless YJ gets a movie or that third season everybody's hoping for. Quote
Sam892 Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 I mentioned Speedy, who is Roy Harper. Plus, if we get 'em, it's quite likely they'd be in the comic outfits, unless YJ gets a movie or that third season everybody's hoping for. It's been rumoured that DC is looking to make a live action YJ TV show, similar to Arrow, plus it kind of sets up 3 of the characters already. Red Arrow and Wally West are in Arrow and The Flash TV show, with strong rumours that Nightwing will appear towards the end of series two. Quote
BrickG Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 I'm sick of these shows that they're forcing into the same universe as the movies. It means they're almost never able to have guest stars of the movie stars. Like we probably will never have a chance to see Thor, Loki, Captain America, Iron Man, Black Widow or Hawkeye in the avengers. I find that extremely limiting to the stories. If they have a Young Justice TV show set in the new DC universe guess what? There's no way they could afford Batman. They couldn't afford Superman. They couldn't afford most any of the movie stars. They might get some meaningless 1 minute cameos that add nothing to the story like Samuel L. Jackson did for Agents of SHIELD. But that's meaningless and the only purpose is to be a cameo and hope the fans don't mind that they'll probably never be able to afford him again or use him in any meaningful story. I wish they'd just accept that the movies and TV can be separate... IMO it does not work because of the above limitations. Quote
Mr. Elijah Timms Posted March 14, 2014 Posted March 14, 2014 (edited) I ordered mine on March 11, several hours after FBTB first posted the news that Shop At Home had cancelled the promotion. I actually called the order in by phone, and tried to sound really agitated by the thought of this promotion being cancelled after only 10 days (it really wasn't much of an act, to be honest). The associate was super friendly and even put me on hold to check with a supervisor to be sure that I would get the free fig. And she said I did! In the next few days I read several stories about people still having the MM show up automatically in their cart, only to receive an email that the supply had been exhausted. So I held my breath, and waited... Until today!! Martian Manhunter happily arrived at my door, free with purchase! I'm so glad I didn't follow through with the temptation of ordering one on Amazon... As for how I got one, I doubt that TLG has separate inventories for online vs. phone orders. I think what probably happened is Lego leaked the story to the online community early, and in truth the supply was quickly dwindling but still not completely out. Perhaps they gave operators instructions to only include the figure in orders where the customer explicitly asked for it... Who knows? Either way, I got my MM several hours after the supposed cut off, six hours in fact. A classic case of a time when the 'gray areas' of logistics worked to the consumer's advantage! Thanks Lego!!
