8BrickMario Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 This pic is where I saw it, it's from user Waynegg on Brickset: It looks fantastic in person. Why do people like this mod so much? It doesn't look like a real jet, and it isn't aerodynamic. I don't get why it's better. Quote

Dharkan Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 Sorry but this is no good way of comparison. I agree with 8BrickMario on this. This is an actual jet fighter and what we have is a generic, non detailed lantern product. If you feel like you are having the same effect by making a simple 150 parts vehicle look odd, you must have a very imaginative mind :D Quote
blarghiflargh Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 (edited) I was skeptical until I actually did the mod. It brings the model to life. It's a very underscaled plane no matter what, but the forward-swept wings make it look a lot sharper in person. That picture isn't a good representation, really, you can't really tell until you hold the regular model then do the mod, it's night and day IMO. It takes a bland model that I was going to disassemble into one I'm keeping in my display. Edited January 17, 2015 by blarghiflargh Quote
Peasantseverywhere Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 I think Argos in the UK might have accidentally slipped out the prices for 2 DC Superheroes summer sets, whilst i was browsing the new stuff on the app on my iPad, i cam across two very strangely priced DC sets, one costing £59.99, the other £69.99. The last £69.99 DC Superheroes set was the Batcave so it couldn't be that, the page wont load when you try to click on the listings and there are no images or titles which can be seen of the sets, this is just a theory but something i thought would be worth pointing out !

Kizmoz Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 just checked and its the avenger sets they've listed under DC, can't see any additional DC sets... £69.99 for the Tower £59.99 for the Quinjet also includes the other Marvel sets... £29.99 Hulk Buster £11.99 Ultron v Ironman £19.99 Hydra showdown Quote
Sir Brickalot Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 The backwards wing mod looks terrible. I actually tried it on my own set, and it looks... just... no. Quote
Krikkit Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 I've tried it and it is not a keeper for me, but whatever floats your boat! Quote
8BrickMario Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 Speaking of wing mods, has anyone else tried changing the Invisible Jet's wings and wing tips to be more realistic (pointing backwards completely)? I kinda like it, and it looks better without the spring-missile assemblies. I do like the official "W" shape, though, so I changed it back. Quote

Hexagonical_waffles Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 Can someone post a picture of the invisible jet mod Quote
DJ Bricks Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 Can someone post a picture of the invisible jet mod Here ya go. I think it looks nice Quote

KCMatze Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 Well, a little expected, but funny nonetheless :D Quote

Felkin Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 The reverse wing mod? The Invisible Jet - Wings Inversed Wow, that looks cool; I'm definitely building mine that way when it arrives! Plus, the Invisible Jet is... well, invisible, so we can say it's any shape we want! Quote
Numbuh1Nerd Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 The closest Target to me had all the new sets. I was going to get the Green Lantern set there, but figured they'd have it at Toys R Us. I was wrong. In other news, I noticed something last night. On the back of an issue of Batgirl (which is pretty great btw) there was an ad for Lego Batman 3. I'm having trouble finding the image online, but it's pretty much on the back of every book that came out around the same two months of the game's release. Anyway, it features New 52 Batman, New 52 Superman, Green Lantern, Supergirl, Cyborg, New 52 Wonder Woman, Batgirl, the Flash, and Beast Boy. The only two characters in this thing that we don't have yet are New 52 Superman and Beast Boy. It's probably nothing, but given the specific rumor of a set featuring BB, it could be something. Quote

Dharkan Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 They really should have made a new quiver for him and Hawkeye. Quote
Neomars Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 "]http://[/url] Upgraded Green Arrow! Got the Arrow DLC yesterday. I was done with it after 5 minuets but it was 100% worth it to hear Stephen go funny for the role. Quote
Pulp Detective Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 http:// Upgraded Green Arrow! I was planning to do the same with him once I get him.I'm glad that the dark green hands fit him,even thought in my opinion the quiver is looks out of place. Quote
Ashnflash Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 That looks so much like the GA from the show. Except this GA from the New 52 has like goggles on the mask, but what ever. No new news on the summer wave? Quote

Numbuh1Nerd Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 Not a bad look for him! I prefer my Arrow's green though, so I'll probably stick with the default A new, more modern quiver would be a welcome addition, although I do appreciate them using the backpack-y looking one on the back printing for him. Now I wonder what it's gonna take for us to get Speedy... Quote
