Re: Lego DC 2012...
Other than the LEGO store nearby, nowhere that I've looked has kept any of the sets but the larger figures in stock for long. Any TDKR sets will sell, regardless of what's currently on the market.
I haven't seen any of the magnets yet, but a LEGO store clerk told me those...
Not to mention that the New 52 caught Mattel with their pants down like everybody else. This line has an unprecedented breadth of characters, and now that I'm re-arranging the collection to accommodate the new arrivals (and taking out repaints/other versions of characters to make room), although...
I'm not saying we deserve anything "special." Far from it. I'm just saying that for the price they're at now and the fact that collectors are probably the main ones supporting this line, the least they could have done was have the CNC come with his only accessory. Yeah, there's a lot of wishful...
If we got what we deserved we'd have a frickin' scythe for Nekron and a whole bunch more bells and whistles for this final wave. I love the wave, but we DESERVED more bang for our buck with this being the last wave. They shoulda gone out on a high note, but instead they gave us easy new head...
Got my set yesterday from BBTS along with Batman Legacy 1st appearance Batman and Catwoman. No Glaring QC problems (no stuck joints, but Nekron needed a hot water bath to unwarp both legs), save for sloppy paint on Catwoman's chest.
It's bittersweet having the last final wave of DCUC. Standout...
Re: Lego DC 2012...
Got my Batwing set and Batmobile for the missus' little boy's b-day. Batwing and Jokercopter were for myself; I never had any of the other sets, but this one is cool! Very tempted to open the Batmobile now, and get the boy another before his Feb 10th birthday... :lol
I wasn't too interested in Nekron anyway, but I'm pissed about the scythe-- The one thing that would have sealed the deal and give a flash-in-the-pan character visual appeal, and they leave it out. Typical f&^%ing Mattel. I'm glad I got a sub and the All-Stars are going to be cherry-picked. Now...
Red Robin should be smaller, but since it's the only other Tim we'll get outside of (blech) New 52, I'll take it. Let's hope Grayson Batman and Damian aren't far behind...
Re: Lego DC 2012...
Missed out on these on lego's site but still got a couple with free shipping on pre/backorder or whatever. Anybody know if they usually ship faster than estimated? It says January 23rd...:impatient:
Missed out on the Legion set--the price tag was a bit much for my budget last month.
I did, however, receive Wave 19 from bbts yesterday. Quick thoughts--the only figure that suffered from warpage was Stargirl, who is easily the clunker of the wave (although her smile is nowhere near as bad as...
I'm not that bummed about Atom's scale. I kind of figured he'd come in too big from parts re-use alone. I'm more bummed about Atrocitus not being bigger, but still not a deal-breaker for me.
