just2good Posted December 11, 2014 Posted December 11, 2014 Do you think the video will be up soon??? He is running a bit late, but im sure itll be worth the wait. Yeah, I have to apologize, because it will not be up tonight. YouTube capture was being a pain, and it won't let me upload there, so I wasted many hours trying to get that done and I'm using a longer method. It will be up tomorrow at around 6-11 AM EST. Sorry. I'll post the pictures and everything then as well. Quote

strangely Posted December 11, 2014 Posted December 11, 2014 The prices are more than I expected. I wonder if Toysrus is marking them up a bit (As they usually do). I'll end up buying them one way or the other, but the Manta I'll wait for a sale (As I really only want Manta and the sub, so I'm in no rush to get that one). Quote

They stopped marking up LEGO with the Summer 2014 sets. Target's database has these same prices. Quote
Numbuh1Nerd Posted December 11, 2014 Posted December 11, 2014 You've got the Grodd set? Tell me, does the banana truck driver have a second face? If he does, do you think you could put his head and hair on Flash's torso? I wanna see how it looks. Quote
just2good Posted December 11, 2014 Posted December 11, 2014 Alright... here's Gorilla Grodd Goes Apesh*t Bananas. Overall, this set is very good. The minifigure choice here stands out (though I wish Flash got his boots), and most of the builds are great. The Invisible Jet, while I wish it was bigger, is an awesome portrayal of a vehicle that's hard to faithfully put in toy form. The banana truck is so cute and has a very innovative play feature with the flying crate. The Batmech is... okay. I don't know, the top looks a little off to me but it's still sturdy and has some nice playability to it. You've got the Grodd set? Tell me, does the banana truck driver have a second face? If he does, do you think you could put his head and hair on Flash's torso? I wanna see how it looks. He only has a one sided face. Quote

Also, does Grodd's head and shoulders come off, it looks like its a separate piece from the rest of him. Edited December 11, 2014 by psqidexslizer248 Quote

psqidexslizer248 Posted December 11, 2014 Posted December 11, 2014 Thanks! I'm confident it's one piece, but I'll double check at home. Alright, thanks. I'm thinking the base is one piece they used for both Darksied and Grodd and then they made two separate head and shoulders pieces which they glued onto the bases in the factory. Also, I love how on the minifigure check list on the back of the comic Batman has two slots for the same variant ( because he's Batman ). Quote
strangely Posted December 11, 2014 Posted December 11, 2014 Only one face for the driver? That's pretty lazy, unless actually he's afraid of bananas and thus always in a constant state of fear. I was really hoping there was a normal face so I could use that head for Tim Drake. Oh well... Quote
mattdev25 Posted December 11, 2014 Posted December 11, 2014 (edited) WOW! That looks spectacular! Thank you SO much, Just2Good! Always coming through for us! Edited December 11, 2014 by mattdev25 Quote
TheLegoExperience Posted December 11, 2014 Posted December 11, 2014 Thanks for the review Just2Good. Definitely will be getting this one. Seeing pictures of the invisible jet and Bat-mech, it looks much better than I first thought. Quote
Ashnflash Posted December 11, 2014 Posted December 11, 2014 WOW Leonard looks amazing! I'm happy about the banana worker for Coulson's hair! Quote
Numbuh1Nerd Posted December 11, 2014 Posted December 11, 2014 Looks like Batman's suffering from Captain America syndrome. :/ That "Invisible Jet" is just an Invisible Ship in Lego Batman 3. Could this mean that we could get the actual Invisible Jet at some point? Quote

Kez Posted December 11, 2014 Posted December 11, 2014 Thanks J2G, the set and mini figs look great, I must start saving. Quote
Steph 104th Posted December 11, 2014 Posted December 11, 2014 Thanks just2good! All the minifigs are amazing, despite the somewhat lackluster builds its still a must buy for me, even if its for the minifigs, truck and parts Quote
Captain Nemo Posted December 11, 2014 Posted December 11, 2014 Nice job man!! Defintely worth the wait You know you didn't need to quote all of that right? We know what you're talking about. --- Anyways, it's a sad day since there were no new sets out early at my Toys R Us. Thanks for the review just2good. That set looks great! I love how Captain Cold turned out, although he may have a bit too much lines on his face for me--but it still seems to fit the character regardless. Grodd looks amazing too, although I'm still not a fan of the forehead printing; and the Banana guy is just too amazing! Wonder Woman is spectacular too, and while I initally disliked her jet, I think it looks amazing in those pictures. I do find it shocking that we get a new Batman cape however. That seemed to come out of nowhere! I don't know how I feel about it, since I think it's a bit too thick on the neck area; and overall it's not a sharp looking. Quote
mattdev25 Posted December 11, 2014 Posted December 11, 2014 That new cape looks really flimsy. I'm definitely switching it out with an older cape Quote
clra2 Posted December 11, 2014 Posted December 11, 2014 I too am slightly bothered with how wrinkly Captain Cold's face is, but I guess they are basing his design on the pre-New 52 design so it fits. I prefer the younger characters from the New 52 or even the Flash TV series but the aqua blue parka is extremely iconic. Great review, I'm getting pumped for 2015! Quote

That face is a bit TOO wrinkly Quote
tafkatb Posted December 11, 2014 Posted December 11, 2014 I wanted this set as soon as I heard the name, and once I found out it had a New 52 Wonder Woman and invisible jet I was in full-on shut-up-and-take-my-money mode. So while I didn't really need further convincing, I do appreciate the in-depth look. Thanks, j2g! Quote

I do apologize for that I see now how it was excessive considering how much of the page it took up. As for the cape is it just me or does it look like it is made out of the same material as Storm's cape from the most recent X-men set? Quote
JaseTJ Posted December 11, 2014 Posted December 11, 2014 Am I the only one that finds Snart's face to be a bit over-wrinkly? :/ Quote
