8BrickMario Posted May 31, 2015 Posted May 31, 2015 (edited) Does the Batmobile have a firing mechanism like the Green Lantern jet? Or is it manual? I'm very glad to hear about the set being good, even though two of the new figs (Harley, Beast Boy) are disappointing. How do the mascot clown's eyes move? Edited May 31, 2015 by 8BrickMario Quote

I'm very glad to hear about the set being good, even though two of the new figs (Harley, Beast Boy) are disappointing. How do the mascot clown's eyes move? The firing mechanism is very clever. You make two buttons which press down through the black 2x8 that sits across the front wheels, and each fires the rocket running underneath it. So you can target things pretty accurately! The eyes and the hat are moved by handles at the back of the head - eyes spin, hat wobbles from side to side. Quote
8BrickMario Posted May 31, 2015 Posted May 31, 2015 (edited) Wow! I can't wait! I think once it's available and I get it, I'll use the Funhouse as a separate section of Jokerland, so the Riddler can get in on the fun, and perhaps Damian will be the one captive on the winch. Joker and Harley can just go back and forth as Batman explores. Edited May 31, 2015 by 8BrickMario Quote
Robert8 Posted May 31, 2015 Posted May 31, 2015 So the Trickster IS coming in that DVD... Now we know where this came from... Quote
8BrickMario Posted May 31, 2015 Posted May 31, 2015 Yes. We had seen that hair on the Trickster minifigure a while ago. Quote
Capt. Redblade Posted May 31, 2015 Posted May 31, 2015 Wow! I can't wait!

Joker and Harley can just go back and forth as Batman explores. This has been pretty much my line of thinking since I saw the first batch of photos. When I first got it, I thought the Funhouse Escape was the new gold standard for villain sets, and I still love it to bits, but adding it to Jokerland really opens up a lot of possibilities for a full-on Arkham City-style carnival of death.

Ohhhh yeah.That's what me, my dad and my kids have pretty much been involved in this afternoon. The two sets work together wonderfully. I really think it's Lego Superheroes at its best. Lovely builds and hours and hours of fun for all ages. Quote
8BrickMario Posted May 31, 2015 Posted May 31, 2015 Oh, please stop tormenting me! I have to wait a while! On the other hand, it's nice to hear the positive opinions before these sets are released in the US. Makes me more excited! Quote
Krikkit Posted May 31, 2015 Posted May 31, 2015 Built the Batboat tonight, it actually is not too bad. My original Batboat has someoces missing (working on full restore) but I will post some comparison shots tomorrow. Some pieces. Quote
Numbuh1Nerd Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 I'm a little disappointed that the Batmobile didn't have just one central missile launcher in the front to make it look more like the Burton version. How much longer do you guys think it will take for these new sets to be on the majority of store shelves? Quote
Zilcho Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 Has anyone put the spiderman boots on Superman?? Quote
Krikkit Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 Didnt buy the spiderman sandman set, too crappy looking for now. Anyways, boats are up on my flickr feed. Quote
8BrickMario Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 The new one's okay, but I'm definitely going to mod it to be more "black...and very, very dark grey". I don't think the detached boats look that good either, since they use the rubber raft piece. I want the set more for Deathstroke and Dick as Robin than I do for the boat. Quote
eldiano Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 Are these out today? Lego store doesn't have them and not even the shop Lego website has them listed Quote
DarthBrickus Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 (edited) Didnt buy the spiderman sandman set, too crappy looking for now. Good Decision, i got it, and it's seriously disappointing. If the best part of a super-heroes-set is the crane, you know something went wrong. Bat-Boat is really good, i only wish they'd put the Dual-Color-molded leg from Jokerland in it. Jokerland-Batman is my favorite version, i think the legs work great. Edited June 2, 2015 by DarthBrickus Quote
SMC Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 Look good but the boots are very high, I wonder if Lego will make some lower boots one day. Quote
Numbuh1Nerd Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 Oh man, I really hope they put that Spider-Man with the boots in another set soon, because I really need Superman to have those boots but I really want Spider-Man to have them, too! Quote
8BrickMario Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 (edited) Too much red. Those dual-molded legs would be better for shorts and bathing suits, since the boots are too high. Edited June 2, 2015 by 8BrickMario Quote
ARSLOCK Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 anyone in the US seen the new DC stuff? or any idea on the release date? still not on lego.com Quote
8BrickMario Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 It's probably late July for retailers, August officially. We in the US have to have two summer waves. Quote
Chookdude Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 Everything is available on shop at home in Australia Quote
8BrickMario Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 (edited) I just wanted to ask the owners: Is there anything going on in the Jokerland "Hall of Mirrors" besides the opening/closing doors? Or is that it? If it's empty, I might put the clown cannon in the doorway. Edited June 2, 2015 by 8BrickMario Quote

Those boots on Superman are a huge improvement; I hope he'll have some in a future set (becuase I'm not picking up the Spiderman one). Edited June 2, 2015 by psqidexslizer248 Quote
TakeaBrick Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 Didnt buy the spiderman sandman set, too crappy looking for now. Anyways, boats are up on my flickr feed. Krikkit, it is cool man! It is nice to have the comparison of the three batboats including 7780. I just wonder if you happen to have other bat-vehicles from the 2006-2008 era. There seems to be none other than 7780 after searching through your flickr feed. Can you post more of those bat-vehicles or maybe even do the comparisons of them with the current DC line bat-vehicles? I think a lot of us here would like to see that. Quote
