Ashnflash Posted December 28, 2014 Posted December 28, 2014 (edited) I don't really care about the SDCC exclusives I mean what can we do to change what LEGO does we don't really have a say and its in what July? Every news that comes here I don't necessarily trust or believe until I see actual proof, so thank you for the information about the possibilities of the SDCC exclusives! Another thing about the SDCC exclusives I don't think LEGO gets any profit on them. If I remember correctly they are raffled off and then those people go and put them on ebay NOT LEGO. I don't really see the benefit except getting more people to go to their booth and buying the sets they have there! Edited December 28, 2014 by MODOCTORDOOM Quote
mattdev25 Posted December 28, 2014 Posted December 28, 2014 Okay, I managed to snag the remaining two sets I needed to complete the wave. I found Sinestro and Brainiac at my local Target at last! I must say, this wave impressed me! I can't wait to see what's i store for the BvS sets next year! Quote
Ashnflash Posted December 28, 2014 Posted December 28, 2014 Well that's not for a while! I just can't wait to see the summer sets! Quote
Mr_KnowItAll_JD23 Posted December 29, 2014 Posted December 29, 2014 Well that's not for a while! I just can't wait to see the summer sets! You and me both. Hopefully pictures are revealed at Toy Fair NY 2015. Quote
mattdev25 Posted December 29, 2014 Posted December 29, 2014 This brings back memories of that fake BvS set on Flickr...lol. Quote
Themadpatter Posted December 29, 2014 Posted December 29, 2014 This brings back memories of that fake BvS set on Flickr...lol. I never saw that. Link? Quote
Ashnflash Posted December 29, 2014 Posted December 29, 2014 I don't know it was a while ago I accidentally posted it and then I read the comments on the picture and the guys admitted it was fake he got bored one day and made it! Quote
mattdev25 Posted December 29, 2014 Posted December 29, 2014 Oh yeah, does anyone know if the Brainiac set is also available at Lego stores as well? It's on S@H... Quote
Amazing Bricks Posted December 29, 2014 Posted December 29, 2014 Oh yeah, does anyone know if the Brainiac set is also available at Lego stores as well? It's on S@H... It will be available in lego stores and S@H on Jan. 1 Quote

Peasantseverywhere Posted December 29, 2014 Posted December 29, 2014 Just popping into IN2U in Derby, UK has anyone seen any news sets in there ? Quote
Douglas_Jon Posted December 29, 2014 Posted December 29, 2014 I've not seen any new sets in the UK yet apart from City, Friends and Chima in Toys R Us. I'm gonna check out the Metrocentre in Newcastle tomorrow and I'll post immediately if I find anything. Quote
Douglas_Jon Posted December 29, 2014 Posted December 29, 2014 Scratch that last comment. I'm going to the Metrocentre now and I'll let UK people know later tonight if I find anything at the Lego Store/Argos/Toys R Us etc. Quote
Peasantseverywhere Posted December 29, 2014 Posted December 29, 2014 Okay absolutely nothing in Derby ;( Quote
kissyfur_ok Posted December 29, 2014 Posted December 29, 2014 I called the Metrocentre store (who had the last winter wave from Boxing Day) and they said they wouldn't have them until January 1st. So close but yet so far! Quote
StreakofBlue Posted December 29, 2014 Posted December 29, 2014 does anyone have a link to amazon or something that has at least the darkseid set for sale? i dont mind if it wont ship until Jan 1st or whatever i just want to try and "seal the deal" asap. though im not sure if there even is a site like this at least maybe not for canada. but if you do know of one could you please post it I ordered it there, but the estimated date ship date is Jan. 8th and I ordered it last week. As of now, it's gone. Quote
slugdude Posted December 29, 2014 Posted December 29, 2014 Went to my local USA lego store yesterday to find out when new sets are coming, they are out today. Talk about perfect timing Now I have to wait a few days to go back as I spent all money on other things. Quote
StreakofBlue Posted December 29, 2014 Posted December 29, 2014 (edited) About Gorilla Grodd goes Bananas: I really wish they had used the modern day Captain Cold. I feel like the invisible jet and the Bat-mech are out of place. This is supposed to be a Flash set and I feel like Bats and Wonder Woman were thrown in to bring up the set price and justify the use of Gorilla Grodd. However, I'm in love with all of the minifigures. I really dislike the Bat-mech. It's not so durable. The "feet" come off a lot. About GL vs. Sinestro: Pretty cool. The details on all the minifigs are very nice. The jet is simply awesome. Using the new Batman minifig (from Grodd set) and Sinestro, I made the Yellow Lantern Batman. You just place Batman's cape, head, and cowl on Sinestro's body and voila! There's a Yellow Lantern Batman! (For better effects, switch his face to the angry one.)

Douglas_Jon Posted December 29, 2014 Posted December 29, 2014 Update to UK folks. Just been in my Lego Store and they have City, Chima, Friends, and some Disney but not Frozen. They said all the remaining sets will be in store on the 2nd Jan definitely. Quote
Lego_Zebra Posted December 29, 2014 Posted December 29, 2014 ^ Same, except mine said January 1st Quote
mattdev25 Posted December 29, 2014 Posted December 29, 2014 It will be available in lego stores and S@H on Jan. 1 False. They come out today. Quote
Mr_KnowItAll_JD23 Posted December 29, 2014 Posted December 29, 2014 They probably come out today in the US. It's still January 1st for Canada. I'm fine with waiting . Quote
mattdev25 Posted December 29, 2014 Posted December 29, 2014 (edited) I was super lucky and was able to call my local store and put all 4 except Manta, which I don't want (I'll order Manta himself off Amazon or something) on hold for tomorrow, since I'm busy today. Edited December 29, 2014 by mattdev25 Quote
_epicster_ Posted December 29, 2014 Posted December 29, 2014 Just grabbed the 76040 Braniac Attack and 76025 GL vs Sinestro sets at Target. Brainiac Attack is Target exclusive, right? Anyway, the figures are awesome and I'm going to pick up a few more GL vs Sinestro sets to flesh out the Green and Yellow corps. The ones I have planned are : Green Lantern Corps Sinestro John Stewart GL Yellow Lantern Hal Jordan (based on Injustice: Gods Among us) Yellow Lantern Corps Batman But I'll probably make others. My one problem with the sets are the capes. They are much softer than before, more soft than '99 Star Wars sets. I also saw Gorilla Grodd goes Bananas and Black Manta escape at Target and TRU, but I didn't have much money on me. Quote
