  1. That may not be Spielberg's decision. Is it definite that Disney would hire him to direct an Indiana Jones movie?
  2. Not a spoiler but this is a set that will set you back a couple of hundred. This is most likely a summer 2016 set. Guess what kids, you are finally getting 60's Batman. Now, why wouldn't I be pleased that this is being made? I am... but I feel that this is receiving a poor representation of the what it could be. But that is alright. This is Lego and it is screaming for a full size mansion to be built atop the cave.
  3. Not really... the set with Captain Marvel is a Marvel Universe set much like the Spider-man one released with Luke Cage, Mary Jane and a Ultimate Spider-man like Green Goblin. The one you posted is a directly marketed Civil War set. Either way, I am uploading something today that was leaked today.
  4. That needs to be in a spoiler which is why I did not even post the image when I saw it.
  5. They already started the year off with two big sets. The latest entry in the modular series is the Bank priced at $170 and the Ghostbusters firehouse was there today priced at $350. Those rarely drop in price though as they are usually "special" sets so I wait for double points or a loophole in another incentive or discount program. Thanks for the like on the review btw
  6. Ok... this will not include any spoilers... a warning though. If the accompanying comic book is any indication of the plot (which will not be pictured) then the set will have spoilers so be careful before you open it if you purchase the set. Sorry for the delay... had to get some stuff ready and I am off to another Phish show. Hope you all enjoy it. Comments are appreciated and questions can be answered. Lego 76045: Kryptonite Interception Lego Retail: $29.99 USA (More in Canada) (Even more in Europe) Pieces: 306 Overall it is a decent set and a fun one to add to your collection or display. It works for the casual fan as well as those looking for a cool desk toy and blows the last Batmobile out of the water. I would like to have seen a lower price point but such is life right now. If you need it now, then buy the set. If you can wait a good six months or Christmas time then wait for the eventual $24.99 discount through Amazon. What do I rate it? 4.2 - Definitely worth picking up. Build 3/5 (Nothing special here) Design 5/5 (I dig this thing) Minifigures 5/5 (Frank Miller DK design carries it to a five) Playability 5/5 (These things usually just sit there on my desk as I type. - I found myself pushing it around. Don't judge) Price 3/5 (Should have ben $24.99 right out the gate) FULL REVIEW WITH PICS HERE: Front and Back of the Box as well as the Instruction Booklets The first bag contains the forklift, the pallet along with the kryptonite. The forklift includes an exploding feature that launches the driver off the seat along with headlights that double as flick fire missiles so something can shoot back at Batman. I guess if someone were to arm a forklift with missiles it would be Lex Luthor. Other than that the forklift does not appear to be of anything special. The main feature is coming up. The second and third bag combine to make the bread and butter of the set. This is your new Batmobile. The second bag creates the chassis while the third bag contains the parts for your armor, fins, cockpit cover and wheels. This is a pretty interesting design and I actually hope that this is accurate to the movie vehicle. The cockpit cover / door splits in two and then angles out. Other than the cockpit window this does not utilize any new parts. That can be said for the majority of the set actually. This is basically a good thing because if you pick up the Batwing you can source out the rest of the parts necessary for the build. The wheels are offset by two different sizes like the Tumbler was giving it a slight leaning appearance. There are minimal stickers involved in this thing so that is pleasant. I did not place them as I usually stick them in the instruction booklet for some reason. You can too and it will not impact the design. The minifigures are a dramatic improvement from what we have seen in the past when it comes to the Dark Knight. This time around you have multicolor printed legs to give the appearance of Bat-Boots and the figure has a slightly tanned flesh tone to it. I guess Affleck hit the tanning salon for this movie. The cape is not that paper-ish cloth that used to be found in the sets but this new cloth that seems to have a slight weight to it allowing it to drop. All three figures have dual facial designs so there is a prone and sneering face. These days, that is what it is. At least there are options. It is also interesting that it seems that Batman's cowl has been completely redesigned. It is starting to drift away from looking as a piece of armor on his head and is molded a bit differently to actually be a cowl. Batman's torso seems to be a faithful adaption of what we have seen in the trailers and I have to admit, if this is what we are getting then the suit looks good. And as with any modern lego set, they give you one each of the smallest pieces in case something gets lost along the way.
  7. Will be reviewing this in a little bit. I've wanted one of these since they first released the pic of the actual Batmobile for the movie. Let me say... the movie could absolutely perform like a vacuum and I still think the Batmobile is pretty amazing. Pics and review to follow.
  8. Bob Iger confirms "Indiana Jones 5" on Bloomberg 7:44 "...Great stories in Lucas' Star Wars and Indiana Jones, as well, which will be coming..." http://www.bloomberg.com/news/videos/2015-12-28/disney-s-bob-iger-on-star-wars-espn-and-china Video - Other key points - Force Awakens has Exceeded expectations in terms of box office return - Majority of Principal Shooting for Episode VIII starts in a few days. - Star Wars lands in Disneyland and Disneyworld - Equates Star Wars to Marvel and Pixar - I stopped listening after the 8 minute mark. I got what I needed for the this post.
  9. I disagree. I wish I could sell on these boards but in the past few months, I am consistently getting higher prices over on eBay even after fees. I woke up this morning to find that two things that I offered over here again sell for more on eBay. (One was a comic and the other was a toy)
  10. Reported and blocked the buyer, wrote her a note that she should more closely monitor her daughter's internet usage. I am a little cranky when I cannot sleep. Yes, she "accidentally" hit the "Buy it Now" which took her to the confirmation page, which she also "accidentally" confirmed. If you were of a mind, and it were easy to do so, you could hold this "parent" accountable for her "daughter's" misdeeds. Not my account so I have to be somewhat cordial. I thought mentioning their lack of parenting skills (for what I believe to be a non-existent child) was enough. However, holding someone to buy something that they genuinely do not want to buy even if their reason is a poor one can lead to further problems.
