DC Superheroes 2015 Rumors & Discussions

[vriverajr3]

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.

You're in no position to tell anyone to chill. You've been the biggest complainer I've seen in this thread. A couple days ago you said that you not being able to find the sets early was "literally driving you insane" then said if you didn't find the sets the next day you would snap. So who's the one that needs to chill? How can you tell them not to complain about something they'll never see retail ever, when you were just crying about not being able to get something only a week early, and would be able to find them retail all year long reguardless??? You make no sense, and they have a right to be upset. Learn to check yourself before you go and try to check others.

I`m definitly getting the Green Lantern set in a week or two (I have time, and lots to build still as well hehe).

On the wishlist, basically the same names as last year, minus then Green Lantern

For DC: Booster Gold, Zatanna and Harley in her Suicide Squad look

For Marvel: Psylocke in her purple ninja suit (as in the video game), Captain Britain and Gambit

I just figured out today this Bricklink website and I'm so happy. All figures are 100% authentic and real, not knock-offs?

You just made my day! Thank you I never thought of looking here!

Shiz, that's in stores now? Which state?

San Antonio, Texas. The Toys R Us website briefly had it in stock, but they sold out quick, went to the store and had a handful left.

Anyone taken a picture of John Stewart yet with the current minifigs?

The banana guy came with a brown head piece that I will use to have my dick grayson mini figure. More than anything lol. the face of green lantern, I think I can make an extra classic 1966 robin fig lol, somewhat.

Highly doubt we will see a toy man, but lol, all we need is cheetah, giganta and solomon grundy to have the legion of doom.... one man maybe.

Am I the only one that hates the fabric capes? It's great they are soft and all, but makes the face pop out more and looks like they wear scarfs now.

A member of the Legion of Superheroes, who are pretty obscure, seems more appropriate for a SDCC exclusive I think then say some options we've heard like Booster Gold, Black Canary and Zoom.

[BrickyNolan35]

Haven't seen any of the sets anywhere yet. Don't think my lego store will have them anytime soon because they just fully stocked up on 2014 sets.

Yeah, I would have rather had one of them in the box and I-can't-even-remember-his-name as the SDCC exclusive. Or, even better, all four of them in a box and no SDCC exclusives at all.

Just a thought ladies and gents, i haven't got the sets yet but I've noticed people have been putting the capes on left flap over right flap under the neck whereas the instructions say to the contrary as is the normal practice for all Lego sets prior with capes, i'd wager that if as the instructions suggest putting the cape across right flap over left will give you a better visual asthetic, as I've seen a review where someone did it with Batman and superman and it looked far better than the other photos and videos I've seen and it looks almost like the old capes but thicker. Obviously they are still thick and bendy but i'd wager that you'll get a better result if you put it on the neck right flap over left. I'd say the back wouldn't ride up so much if its tried that way. It won't improve the fact that they feel cheaper but the neckline might look a tad more even. Just a thought, i'll give it a shot when i can find one of the sets. I should think they'll be on lego .com tomorrow as they have the same timeframe on release as the Lego movie sets which are up for pre order on the Uk one. If they do come up i know what website i'll jump on tomorow. Does anyone know the UK prices BTW?

I'm glad I made your day. Are the figures being sold on that site 100% authentic Lego minifigures and not customs or knock-offs?

[omegabob]

Circe yes, Giganta maybe. In the very off chance that they would actually make an oversized minifig for her, Giganta would be awesome. If they ever did make Giganta, she'd either be a hideous bigfig or hideously brick-built.

I want Cheetah if for no other reason than to have a Wonder Woman villain represented. She's also a pretty key member of the Legion of Doom, and we've almost got all of those guys. We're just missing Toy Man, Grundy, Giganta, Bizarro, and her, and I'd say we'll likely get Bizarro and Grundy sooner rather than later.

I'm looking to finish off the Legion of Doom as well. A Toyman should be easy enough to custom up (at least his Legion of Doom look from the '70s) with all the Jesters Lego has put out over the years. I would love if they did make Giganta if they would make a regular sized minifigure for the sets and then also make one of those Flashlight figures of her for the larger version. There is already a Bizarro minifig but a non-Comic Con exclusive version that can be gotten for a reasonable price would be nice.

I may be reading too much into it but I think it's a sign that most all the villains in this wave are Legion of Doom members and could indicate the rest are on their way.

I got all the sets yeasterday but haven't had a chance to go through them all (darn job that I need to keep so I can keep buying Lego). So far though I'm loving the new cowl for Batman. It makes him look less bobble headed like Iron Man and with the shorter points on the top (and more flexible cape) he may be able to sit normally in enclosed vehicles. I'm also glad Lego gave Green Arrow facial stubble. A quick swap of those flesh arms to dark green ones and a dark green hood from my LotR elves and Green Arrow should look more like his TV version. I would have preferred if Hawkman's wings had been molded plastic and able to clip on to his back similar to the Chima wings but a Hawkman with those wings is better than no Hawkman at all. Looking forward to going through the rest of the sets and start building them over the upcoming long weekend.

BrickLink sells only genuine Lego products. You'll actually find parts in colours never officially released on there too.

You're safe to order from BL!

[mattdev25]

I think that, based on the pattern from this wave of sets, the summer sets will include the final LoD members: Jokerland will probably include a bigfig, most likely Solomon Grundy, as well as Firefly and Cheetah, and, of course, Joker, New 52 Batman, and New 52 Harley (hopefully). The water chase set will most likely have New 52 Batman with the same head as the one from the Manta set, and probably Killer Croc, a guard, and Robin. My guess is that in the summer of 2016, an exclusive promo figure will be released that is most likely an obscure LoD member, like Toyman or something. And, finally, in one of those gift cubes, a final member. Keeping my fingers crossed, as as of now, my newly formed Justice League only has my custom LoD to fight (left out a bunch of Bat-rogues since there are way too many, only picked my favorites): Joker, Bane, Man-Bat, Black Manta, Captain Cold, Lex Luthor, Gorilla Grodd, Darkseid, Brainiac, General Zod, Sinestro, a purist Talia al Ghul and a purist Ra's al Ghul.

Thank you very much. I'll he using that site now.

[Robianco]

Thank you very much. I'll he using that site now.

That's a slippery slope! I should know! ;)

Even on eBay those selling bootlegs should make it very clear so there's no confusion!

[Darth Carlos]

Thank you very much. I'll he using that site now.

I have purchased many parts and minifigures from Bricklink. There should only be genuine Lego parts and minifigs but some sellers do sell bootlegs too. Either the sellers are trying to pass them off as genuine or can't see the difference. I've received some bootleg parts before so make sure you know what you're getting.

[Mr_KnowItAll_JD23]

Exactly. I don't bother buying on eBay because I'm worried that the figure that I want to buy is fake.

[ZionAzure]

Having a very hard time finding any new sets in my area... gonna have to order online. Sucks because I'm off the rest of the week and now I have to wait for lego to ship..

[Ashnflash]

I sent an email to lego yesterday asking when the DC sets would be out in the UK (I quoted the green lantern and gorilla grodd sets as examples); I have received a reply saying that the sets are not going to be sold in the UK; is this an error or does someone know anything about this?

I can't see us getting four bigfigs in one year, so I doubt we'll get Grunsdy this year.

Good point, maybe next year in the summer.

Depends where you live. I can order sets at 10:00- 11:00.

this is true, when i got the gorilla grodd set and put on batman's cape it looked... less than good, but when i switched it so the right flap was over the left it looked WAY better. i think these capes are pretty good and though they are kinda scarf-like, in the end to me they're worth it.

though i live in canada i was able to find the sets on the 26th, in a fairly crappy lego store too. they didnt have the green lantern or brainiac sets but they had the others. i picked up the grodd set and have been very happy with its result. this weekend im going to try and find the darkseid and green lantern sets, ill probably get manta on bricklink like everyone else
