korpen4444 Posted March 14, 2014 Posted March 14, 2014 I ordered mine Friday night, the order processed Saturday, got shipped out Sunday, been in transit through FedEx, arrived in my state today, sent the package to USPS early this morning, still hasn't arrived yet, and my regular mail hasn't even come by yet. Not happy. Quote
Bricktimus Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 I got mine today! Great figure! Great review by the way! Quote
korpen4444 Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 MM got here! Here's my Lego DC Super Hero figures(minus robin and the bat-variants): Of course, left out are the villains. Quote
korpen4444 Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 You need Barry. Well duh! I also want to replace my main Batman with the BTB variant, so it can be my main Batman. Quote
BrickG Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 He's lying. You're going to be sick of that Batmobile because there's too many Batmobiles and you only bought the set for the Flash. :) I'm kind of sad because my flash has a large sloppy misprint with a yellow streak on its mask on an eye area. Are sloppy misprints getting more common? I have a decent amount of exclusive figures that have crappy misprints on them. Quote

Are sloppy misprints getting more common? I have a decent amount of exclusive figures that have crappy misprints on them. This Batmobile is a slight departure from the standard batmobile we've been getting. No turbine engine, no tailfins. For those of us who like a certain type of Batmobile, or just want a bit of diversity in our Bat Garage, it's a breath of Fresh Air. To address your Flash issue, you have a few options to clean up the slop. You could use a cotton swab and some brasso to try to remove the slop, or you could contact Lego for a replacement. I am certain they would happily help. Quote
BlueberryWaffles Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 (edited) I got him. Really nice figure. Now I need Flash and Aquaman to go alongside my GL (yes, the real one), Superman, Batman, MM, and WW. Edited March 17, 2014 by Tolkien Quote

Freddy Bricker Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 So I went to my 'local' Lego store (over an hour of a drive) and surprise surprise, they had no more Martian Manhunters in stock. They also had 3 Grand Emporiums left, and lucky me, I didn't have enough money, I was expecting to have enough and by one by the time I got there. This review did nothing but remind me that when Lego does give some variety in these sets, they come out, like this. I hate to be the sour puss, but Lego really needs tdo something about this. It's a monthly giveaway, why did I have to go in the first week or two? Also couldn't order online since I'm in the middle of a move. *Sigh* Quote
The Jersey Brick Guy Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 They made it perfectly clear that it was while supplies last. Quote
Legoman123 Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 They made it perfectly clear that it was while supplies last. I'm going to get my MM off of eBay tonight. He is selling for £8.99 and there are more than 10 available (at least there was yesterday). Quote
B-Lister Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 (edited) I feel bad for those who missed out, but I spread the word to any board I posted on, to insure it reached far and wide. Looks like it did, in fact spread far and wide. Hopefully those who missed out can trade for or buy one. Edited March 17, 2014 by B-Lister Quote
Lego dad Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 They made it perfectly clear that it was while supplies last. It's always while supplies last. I believe phone orders are possible for those without access to the internet. Quote
B-Lister Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 They likely used previous giveaways to gauge how many they needed, as they had leftover stock of Jor-El. They under anticipated demand in this case, and sold out. I hope those who truly want one can still get one before the price peaks. Quote
Bricktimus Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 I have spare I am willing to trade, but I will wait until I have enough posts to post in the trade section to keep within the site guidelines. Quote
Piranha Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 I got mine a few days ago, and it is a great fig, a must have for DC collectors. I still think a JL HQ or similar set is possible, they could include another DC hero not produced yet. Quote
B-Lister Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 I think we may eventually get a more classic J'onn along with a classic Barry and Hal at some point. We just got a 1970s style Batman in the Juniors set, and a classically styled 'Big Seven' would look fantastic in a display. It'd be neat to get a Kirby styled Avengers lineup too! Quote
DJ Bricks Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 A lot of toys made for little kids have the light blue Bats, such as Imaginext . Weighing in on MM being sold out. its not that MM is a wanted figure as not many people are comic fans or know who MM is. It's more like TLG released a whole bunch of sets people have wanted since January, which is when they should been released. It's like if Lego had a different shipping incentive and it sold out, doesn't mean much. Quote
B-Lister Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 I imagine if this theme has legs, the 1970s Batman will turn up in regular sets too. Quote
Colossus Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 I don't know how much credence I can give to the belief that MM sold out simply because a lot of new Lego sets were released simultaneously. Sure, some people can't wait for new sets, but isn't the Double VIP Points promo next month? I would think that whoever wanted a MM spent the money on sets to get it. Otherwise, why not wait 31 days and receive double points? The only thing better than free money and free beer is free Lego. Quote
B-Lister Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 I don't have a vip membership. MM was the first time I ordered from S@H. Quote

I think its also because people expected them to be realeased in January and not two months later, the the impatience and lust for the sets came in, and fans ordered the second they could, they did. Plus you have those people who ordered multiple time for battle packs and such. Plus some people dont care about VIP. Quote
