Darth Carlos Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 Lego is definitely picking up the game with these obscure minifigs. Trickster and Lightning Lad will be happily added to my Super Heroes collection! Quote
The Brick Rat Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 Perhaps these exclusive cubes are TLGs way of getting the Legion of Superheroes into fans hands without devoting a set to them. Superboy was the Legions inspiration when they first formed (they even brought him into the future briefly and made him a member). Now we are getting Lightning Lad in a second cube. Hopefully, there will be future cubes with Saturn Girl, Cosmic Boy and Brainiac 5. Quote
Mr_KnowItAll_JD23 Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 (edited) Just a few more days until the new sets are released in Canada! Edited December 30, 2014 by Mr_KnowItAll_JD23 Quote
mattdev25 Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 Lighting Lad...interesting, hopefully he comes with the Force Lightning pieces in the accessory pouch in the middle of the cube. Quote
Amazing Bricks Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 (edited) Unfortunately none of them have accessories besides Kai, so no lightning pieces for lightning lad. Something is telling me we're going to get reverse flash this year... Edited December 30, 2014 by amazingbricks Quote

I think the exclusives will just be Superman themed. But you are on to something... Quote

Numbuh1Nerd Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 I can't believe that so many of you guys are complaining about these. I understand that lots of countries aren't getting the boxes, but don't a lot of you guys just buy the figures from Bricklink anyway? I think it's cool that we have a means of getting less popular characters other than the god awful SDCC exclusives and for moderately cheap. It looks like we'll be getting a few more of these, regardless, so who do you guys think'll show up next? Quote

Zergos Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 (edited) I find it interesting that more and more minifigures are getting the sleeve arm with half flesh and half a different color. Edited December 30, 2014 by Zergos Quote
TheBatstan Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 I'm loving it. I hope we get green sleeves on flesh arms so that I can finally have an accurate Robin. Quote
Cagast Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 (edited) edit: sorry I didn't count Fangar has a head inside the mask. Unfortunately no accessories. Last cube had an acessory for each fig. Disappointment. Edited December 30, 2014 by Cagast Quote

TheLegoExperience Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 What was Superboy's accessory? Nothing, he was the only one who didn't have any. Quote
StarLord1987 Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 Holy pepperoni, 3 or 4 months of being away and I find new summer sets and minifig news, sweet! I went to my local Target and was able to buy all the DC sets, I'm hoping that my fruitcakes Harley new 52 makes it to the Jokerland set And To everyone, happy holidays and thanks for the info especially just2good thanks for the reviews and the news ;Man my wallet is so dead next year Quote
StreakofBlue Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 At way I see us getting Cheetah in a Lego set is either: A) Wonder Woman 2017 Movie Set B) A $19.99 set with three minifigures: Batman Sensor Suit, Cheetah, and Wonder Woman. The story: Basically, Wonder Woman has been drugged by Cheetah and Batman has to stop Wonder Woman before she hurts anybody. The builds? Probably an Invisible Motorcycle and the All-New Bat-Hover-Craft! And then there's the exclusive mininfig option. Actually, thinking about this made me realize that there's most likely going to be a Batman v Superman Wonder Woman figure. But the tiara will look different...and we'll have the battle skirt. Quote

Can't see Lego having Wonder Woman drugged, something just doesn't scream child-friendly about that. Anyway, we will probably get WW in a Batman v Superman set, I'm guessing she'll facing off against the main bad guy with Supes and Bat-ffleck. Quote

That would look incredibly dumb on screen. Edited December 30, 2014 by Ultron Quote

Legoman123 Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 We really are getting an expansion with characters this year for DC. I for one loveTrickster and Lighting Lad and can't wait to pick both of them up. Quote
Themadpatter Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 I really want Giganta and Circe. Both major Villainesses, but probably won't be made Quote
psqidexslizer248 Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 I really want Giganta and Circe. Both major Villainesses, but probably won't be made I could see both of them being made as San Deigo Comic Con exclusives. Quote
mattdev25 Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 (edited) I really couldn't care less if we don't get Cheetah at all, I'm largely indifferent to the character. I wouldn't even care if she was an SDCC exclusive. Also, you guys in Europe need to chill out, alright? You guys get a ton of movies before us, particularly superhero movies, and a lot of people spoil those movies, so it's kind of fair that we get these. Also, you guys can just order them on Amazon or Bricklink, so it's not worth getting too upset over it. Edited December 31, 2014 by mattdev25 Quote
Colossus Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 Well, if Lego was putting out obscure, yet desirable minifigures in a foreign market that I didn't have easy access to, I'd feel a bit perturbed as well. Quote
