just2good Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 This set is amazing. After (what I thought) were two week waves of DC stuff (Man of Steel and 2014 Batman), this really is a breath of fresh air. Quote
jondesouza Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 No. They are both very different in terms of design. I'm more of a Marvel guy - are these meant to be different Lanterns? Quote
8BrickMario Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 Same Hal Jordan, different outfits. I like this new one better. Quote
Captain Nemo Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 I'm more of a Marvel guy - are these meant to be different Lanterns? They are the same character, Hal Jordon as Green Lantern, But the SDCC one was designed after the Green Lantern movie--this new one is more inspired by the comics. Same Hal Jordan, different outfits. I like this new one better. Dido. I never liked the SDCC version. His torso was crazy over-detailed which looked terrible with plain legs. Quote
Moon_Knight Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 I don't like how he has yellow hands rather than pink, and I really don't like the common hair use. I honestly think the hairpiece is perfect but we can't all win. Quote
Ultron Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 The problem with the widow's peak Sinestro has is that none of the characters it's used on really work with it. It's not accurate for any licensed character who uses it. It looks perfect on the licensed character it originated from, Draco Malfoy. Quote
8BrickMario Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 (edited) Um, that was a different piece, Sinestro's hair was first used on Clone Wars Count Dooku. The hairpiece you mentioned was perfect for Draco, and would be good for Sinestro. Edited July 23, 2014 by 8BrickMario Quote
Off the wall Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 You don't have to be a fan of the subject matter to realize that TLG has a winner. Quote
Ultron Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 Um, that was a different piece, Sinestro's hair was first used on Clone Wars Count Dooku. The hairpiece you mentioned was perfect for him, and would be good for Sinestro. Sorry, when you said widows peak I thought that's what you were referring to since that's also a widows peak.. Even so, this one can be accurate on some licensed characters, but not many. It's pretty decent on Ernie Prang (Harry Potter is always on the mind apparently) But yeah I was thinking the draco malfoy hair in black might be better on this Sinestro. Quote
K-Nut Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 Um, that was a different piece, Sinestro's hair was first used on Clone Wars Count Dooku. The hairpiece you mentioned was perfect for Draco, and would be good for Sinestro. I've seen both of those pieces referred to as widow's peak hair. It can get confusing. I don't really think that this current hair is really a problem on Sinestro, but I can get why people think that it usually doesn't work too well on the figs it's on. Quote
jondesouza Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 Thanks Nemo and Mario. I may not be a DC fan but this set is excellent. Well done TLG. Quote
SMC Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 at last a normal fig that's better than its sdcc version Quote
Ezekiel2517 Posted July 23, 2014 Author Posted July 23, 2014 The SDCC Green Lantern is from the awful movie. Quote
TheBatstan Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 Anyone spot something that may be a power ring in the set yet? Quote
Kez Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 The green lantern set looks awesome, I can't wait to buy this (right after my wallet has recovered from the costly price of the tumbler). Quote
8BrickMario Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 The core in Sinestro's canister is implied to be the Green Power Ring emitting energy. Sinestro's construct is supposed to come from his ring, but I don't think there is a physical ring piece or two in the set. Quote
Lord Vladivus Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 Damn. Not normally a superfan, but this might just be an insta-buy. Quote
Sam892 Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 I'm more of a Marvel guy - are these meant to be different Lanterns? There's several different Lantern corps in the DC universe. Green Lanterns use Will power to power their rings Sinestro corps use Fear which is coloured yellow Orange lanterns use greed Blue lanterns use hope Star Sapphires use love ( violet) Red lanterns ( rage ) Black lanterns ( death) White lanterns ( life) Indiego lanterns ( compassion ) There's lot of lanterns in space for sure. In terms of the set it looks awesome, and just how expected Hal Jordan v Sinestro set to look with a Green jet construct, using both translucent and opaque parts. It's a shame they didn't give Hal a smaller Construct of some sort like a brick built gun or Sword. However you can't really complain when we're getting Both Sinestro, Hal and Space Batman In a single set for £20. Hopefully this is the approach for the other 2015 sets, a JL member vs their arch nemesis with Batman or Supes tagging along. Oh and for all the John Stewart fans, I'm sure LEGO would include him as a exclusive Offer like they did with Jor-el, Hulk and Martian Manhunter. Quote

Sinestro's construct is supposed to come from his ring, but I don't think there is a physical ring piece or two in the set. I think it's supposed to be the Lantern that charges up the ring, probably implying that both characters are wearing their power rings even though they're not physically there. Quote
Sam892 Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 (edited) Where is the Marvel thread? Scroll down on the first page................ Like 2 topics below this one.......... Edited July 23, 2014 by Sam892 Quote
8BrickMario Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 (edited) It's strange that the threads are separate now. Why? Edited July 23, 2014 by 8BrickMario Quote
K-Nut Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 It's around here somewhere. Cornelius made it two separate threads this year, and there's not much Marvel news yet so it's pretty dormant. Quote
Ultron Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 Where is the Marvel thread? It's down there, but there's no news right now. Age of Ultron sets are sure to be on lock and key for a good while. Looks like all the people who were complaining about so much lego marvel news a while ago are finally getting their turn Quote
