  • LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes Officially Announced

    LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes

    The Official Announcement for LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes has finally arrived and I can’t wait to get my hands on this one. Sounds like the standard LEGO game with a little bit of Batman: Brave and the Bold (the last kid friendly Batman game released) thrown in to freshen it up. The addition of other DC heroes is a great way to add some new play features even if some folks will be disappointed that these supers didn’t get their own game, yet. Read the statement for the full scoop:

    Batman is back to save Gotham City and the action will only build from here! Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, TT Games and The LEGO Group are teaming up once again to announce that LEGO® Batman™ 2: DC Super Heroes will be available beginning Summer 2012 for the Xbox 360® videogame and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system, the Wii™ system, and Windows PC, as well as the Nintendo DS™ hand-held system, Nintendo 3DS™ hand-held system, and PlayStation®Vita handheld entertainment system. The game is the sequel to the best-selling LEGO® Batman™: The Videogame, which to date has sold more than 11 million units worldwide.

    LEGO Batman™ 2: DC Super Heroes complements the brand new, recently released LEGO® Super Heroes: DC Universe toy collection. The line includes five construction sets, such as The Batcave and three buildable, detailed action figures.

    In LEGO Batmanâ„¢ 2: DC Super Heroes, the Dynamic Duo of Batman and Robin join other famous super heroes from the DC Universe including Superman, Wonder Woman and Green Lantern to save Gotham City from destruction at the hands of the notorious villains Lex Luthor and the Joker. Batman fans of all ages will enjoy a new and original story filled with classic LEGO videogame action and humor as players fight to put the villains back behind bars.

    LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes allows players to explore all new areas of Gotham City utilizing a variety of vehicles including the Batmobile and Batwing. In addition, they’ll be able to fight for justice by mastering new gadgets and suits, such as Batman’s Power Suit and Robins’’Hazard Cannon, and using all-new abilities including flight, super-breath and heat vision.

    Anyone else waiting for the announcement of a LEGO: Lord of the Rings game?

  • “Where Does He Get Those Wonderful Toys?”

    Batwing

    Tigmon74 has built a very agressive looking Batwing to start off 2012 and certainly wasted no time utilizing the Batman minifig he got for Christmas. The wing itself is nifty with a great use of the smooth technic panels, but for me the rocky platform and beefed up Batcomputer complete the scene and set the mood perfectly.

  • First Look At LEGO Super Heroes Batman Polybags

    3016030161

    After forum member Diaaabo posted pictures of two more Star Wars Polybags, I popped over to check out the new sets Ace posted were available for pre-order and to download some instructions on the S@H site and discovered these two new polys. I have no information on how easy these will be to get or when they will be available, but I have a suspicion that the Batmobile set will be similar to the Hogwart’s Express mini. Could be easier/cheaper to get, but we’ll just have to wait and see at this point. I can’t wait either way and since I have the instructions already, I plan on building a couple of these tomorrow to compliment my son’s new Cars sets. That design is really great!

  • 6860 The Batcave Finally Arrives

    The last of the DC Universe Super Heroes debut sets (that we know about anyway) finally arrives at LEGO Shop@Home: 6860 The Batcave. Priced at $69.99, you get Bruce Wayne, Batman, Robin, an excellent Bane, and Poison Ivy. If you order now, you won’t be able to get it by Christmas, but if you’re brave enough to actually go to a mall, a LEGO Brand Retail store may have one. I would call before heading out of course.

    Thanks to Guest in the chat room for the heads up.

  • Super Heroes Unite! November Winners Announced

    The final winners of LEGO’s Super Heroes Unite! contest have been revealed! And they’re mostly videos, which is a little one-sided if you ask me, especially considering some of the phenomenal entries that weren’t moving pictures. Anyway, big congrats to November’s 1st place winners, Kris Theorin (above) and Paul Hollingsworth (below), who will be getting their hands on the entire DC Universe line-up of LEGO Super Heroes and a maquette. Hit the link to check out all other winners including the grand prize winner, Dan Glasure, who also happened to be one of October’s 1st place winners. I guess that guy’s going to be loaded up on LEGO Super Heroes sets. Also, does anyone think they’ll do another contest for this summer’s Marvel sets?

  • Review: 6864 The Batmobile and the Two-Face Chase

    6864 The Batmobile and the Two-Face Chase 1

    This is the second LEGO DC Universe Super Heroes set to be reviewed, and so far the line does not disappoint. Now, if you bought all the previous LEGO Batman sets and think the current DC releases aren’t up to snuff, then you would be right in some ways, but if you look at the sets on their own merits, you might actually enjoy them. I had set my expectations pretty low for this set, mostly turned off by the garish color scheme on Two-Face, his cronies and the truck to be honest, but ended up liking it in the end. The MSRP is $49.99 and for that you get 508 pieces, another set hitting that golden ratio but unfortunately this is where the gravy train stops as the other from the DC Universe sub-theme fare a little worse.
