    And this isn’t TLBM related, but Amazon also has 76054 Batman: Scarecrow Harvest of Fear at a really nice discount, 25% off for just $44.99.

    While it may be Rogue One week, it’s still always about Batman, and as such, a very wide swath of LEGO Batman sets are on sale at Target – and have been price-matched by Amazon. While I haven’t gotten around to buying any of the Rogue One sets, I own all but one of the Batman sets… and perhaps it’s time to fix that small gap.

    Batman Movie Set Sales, Impressions (and Spoilers) Below the Fold

    So, I’m going to try and get a full-featured review for this moving, and use it as an excuse to go see it again, I think. But first, I figured I’d give us a spoileriffic thread to discuss the movie in, and also mix in some early impressions of how the movies line up with the sets we’ve gotten so far. So, obviously, below the fold, there will be some mild spoilers.

    However, before that, there are several sets that are currently on sale for the movie. Almost all sets available on Amazon have some sort of discount, and Walmart has Scarecrow Special Delivery on rollback.

  • Review: 70902 Catwoman Catcycle Chase

    Review: 70902 Catwoman Catcycle Chase

    There are currently two different Batman sets available that have the words “cycle chase” in the name… one last year and this year’s movie offering, 70902 Catwoman Catcycle Chase. The other set is lacking in Catwoman, but the cycle is suspiciously similar. It’s in the pipeline to get a review once we wrap up the LEGO Batman Movie sets, so eventually I’ll be able to draw a few more comparisons, but it wouldn’t shock me to learn it’s the same designer.

    I wasn’t sure what to make of this set when I decided to review it… I’ve owned every one of the Catwoman sets except the 66 Batcave (though I have purchased the Catwoman figure from that set), but I’d be hard pressed to remember any of them. I remember them usually having those absurdly oversized sport bikes, and Batman in some sort of small vehicle that makes me wonder why he’s not in the Batmobile. This set also seems suspiciously familiar… but looking back to the last Catgirl set, one of the original Super Heroes sets, it doesn’t seem to have much in common. Maybe I’ve just built one too many storefront sets.

    At $19.99 and a very slight 139 pieces, this is barely larger than 70900 The Joker Balloon Escape, but has three minifigures… and most shockingly, no Batman. In fact, Batgirl and Batman never show up in same set… only Barbra Gordon and Batman do. So I’m calling the first spoiler of the movie… Batgirl is not Barbra Gordon, but just Batman in a purple suit.

  • January 2017 Assortment Now Available

    January 2017 Assortment Now Available

    Officially, this may be known as the spring wave. I’m not sure where I saw or heard that so that may or may not be true. In any case, the January 2017 assortment is now available* up at LEGO Shop@Home. Give it another day and Amazon will follow through with their live links.

    * – The clock struck midnight a few minutes ago, and as of this writing, not all of the January sets are available. Most are in a state of transition, i.e. have a status of “Backorder”. Things should resolve over the next few hours. All items marked as “Backorder” can still be ordered and will be processed in the order they are placed.

    Some notes:

    – There is one promo going on right now that may be of interest to you Batman fans. Right now, you can get a free The LEGO Batman Movie mini Batwing polybag set with all orders $35 or more from now through 11:59pm January 15th, 2017 while supplies last. If you hit that threshold you’ll also get free standard shipping.

    – And speaking of The LEGO Batman Movie, all sets are live except for 70912 Arkham Asylum. That one is strangely absent from Shop@Home’s website as of this writing. It is a Toys’R’Us retailer exclusive so that may have something to do with it but it’s strange that Shop@Home doesn’t even list it since they’ve always sold retailer exclusives in the past. Looks like it showed up earlier in the morning, along with 70910 Scarecrow Special Delivery

    – The Juniors line, which features simpler builds to bridge the gap between DUPLO and classic System, has had a few licensed sets before and continues this year with Frozen and Batman (and Friends but that one’s not licensed).

    – New Frozen castle set!

    – No new Star Wars sets as of this writing. They may come in a few months. I honestly don’t have a clue on that one.

    All the new stuff is in the monstrous list below. Every theme except Star Wars is covered. No need to browse their site. And is it glitchy for anyone else where if you click on a new theme nothing happens? Anyways, just click on through directly to the item you want.

    LEGO Posts Glamour Shots Of LEGO Batman Sets

    LEGO posted these set of images on their facebook page earlier today, and includes images of two sets that, as far as I’m aware, havent been seen before: 70910 Scarecrow Special Delivery and 70911 Penguin’s Arctic Roller. Too bad for Nick that the latter isn’t a Zamboni, but now that he’s planted that idea in my head, we definitely need a LEGO Zamboni set.

    I’m personally excited for the Clayface set; it looks pretty awesome as a brick-built monstrosity but Nick wasn’t too impressed. He’s dead to me now so I will happily take the mantle on reviewing that bad boy.

    All sets will be available starting January 2017 and I cannot wait!

  • Upcoming LEGO Batman Movie Sets

    Upcoming LEGO Batman Movie Sets

    This sort of slipped through the cracks while life got in the way for a couple of this month, but now that we’re focusing on getting our reviews for The LEGO Batman Movie and DC Friends sets, we’re running across a whole mess of sets that we have been announced or can now be found in the instruction books for the current preview wave of sets.

    The current lineup of sets includes 70901 Mr. Freeze Ice Attack, 70905 The Batmobile, 70906 The Joker Notorious Lowrider, and 70909 Batcave Break-In… obviously there are a few numbers between each of those. We know one of them will probably be taken up by the Collectible Minifigure line, and Arkham Asylum has already been revealed (as a Toys ‘R Us exclusive). Turns out several other sets have been revealed… hop below the fold to check them out!

    Thanks to Brickset and BrickToyNews for descriptions of some of the sets!
