    Some Cheap Super Hero Blu-rays

    After reading Nick’s review of the 76081 The Milano vs. The Abilisk, I remembered that I actually hadn’t seen the movie yet. I know, I know, but I have the Blu-ray on my X-mas wish list and lo’ and behold, Amazon has it on sale! They have a few other Super Hero blu-ray movies on sale too so here’s a short list:

    All of the above movies are eligible for Movies Anywhere. I’ve talked about Movies Anywhere in a previous post. If you haven’t signed up yet, you should!

  • Wonder Woman Comes Out Today

    Wonder Woman Comes Out Today

    I freakin’ loved Wonder Woman! I don’t get to see movies in the theater very much but made the effort to see this one and was I glad I did. I loved it so much, I’m trying to see if the Amazon retailer exclusive version with that sweet-ass statue (pictured above) is within my budget.

    Every other major retailer has their own exclusive, and the next appealing offer would have to be from Steelbook Central aka Best Buy with their Steelbook case and 4k Blu-ray / Blu-ray / Digital combo pack:

    Although, the artwork on that cover looks a bit off. And is she doing her best impression of Spider-Man swinging through the air with her lasso? Anyways, Best Buy also offers a Blu-ray with collectible cards.

    Target has a lenticular cover and book, and Walmart has a Tiara prop.

    And if you’re in the mood for some Wonder Woman LEGO, there was only one set that came out specifically for the super heroine, but not marketed exactly as being movie-related, so don’t look for comparisons cause you’ll just be disappointed if you do. 76075 Wonder Woman Warrior Battle is available directly from LEGO Shop@Home. Price is $29.99.

    Happy Wonder Woman day, y’all!

  • Exclusive Wonder Woman, Batman Minifigures With Free Book

    Exclusive Wonder Woman, Batman Minifigures With Free Book

    There are a pair of books out there that come with exclusive minifigs that you should know about.

    First up is an exclusive Goddess of War styled Wonder Woman. Also included in your purchase is a new and upcoming hardcover book, LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes The Awesome Guide. The figure with free book will be released on May 2, 2017 and is currently priced at $11.72. The minifig is interesting in that it is a very niche costume and only appeared in a few issues of the Wonder Woman comic book at the tail end of the New52 era. Something like that would liken it to be harder to get, like a Comic Con exclusive or something.

    Next up is the exclusive Tartan Batman minifig that comes with its own free book Chaos in Gotham City, an activity book based on The LEGO Batman Movie. This is a softcover book that is available now and will only cost you $5.55 right now on Amazon! Now that is cheap for a figure that comes with a book accessory.

  • First Wonder Woman Set Revealed

    First Wonder Woman Set Revealed

    Earlier today, EW.com (you know, the site where all LEGO fans get their news… Kid’s and AFOLs are totally about Entertainment Weekly), revealed our first look at a Wonder Woman set. I wasn’t even really aware that there were going to be tie-in sets for this one, I was thinking just Justice League. Anyway… I’m still tentitively excited for the movie, so it’s cool to see it get some attention. However, since it would contain something that could wander into spoiler territory compared to the trailer, I’m going to tuck the pictures under the fold.

  • [SDCC] “Well that’s neat”… Wonder Woman Trailer

    [SDCC] “Well that’s neat”… Wonder Woman Trailer

    I’m actually working on a review for Batman v Superman Ultimate Edition, because Ace feels the need to destroy my sanity and my liver. When I watched the movie originally, the single most exciting thing about it was that little still from World War I that showed Wonder Woman. Every ounce of nerd in me wanted that movie, and still does. Looking at this new trailer… which features Chris Pine, which in my own head canon makes me think that Captain Kirk went back in time (it actually makes perfect sense)… every ounce of nerd in me is still excited.

    And I’ll admit to perhaps doing a bit of a fist pump when the lasso came out, and I actually like that classic costume look with armor.

  • [SDCC] LEGO Life-Sized Models, Minifigure Giveaway Details

    [SDCC] LEGO Life-Sized Models, Minifigure Giveaway Details

    One of the big bonuses any time you’re around LEGO stores, booths, displays, or parks, is the incredible life-sized models that they put up. For years now, LEGO has been bringing the latest and greatest life-sized models for display around SDCC, and this year is no different. Featured models this year include:

    • Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman (celebrating the 75th anniversary and the 2017 solo film)
    • LEGO Movie Batman will be featured at the WB booth (#4545). Additionally, on Thursday, attendees can help build a full size version with master builders, and on Saturday some of the cast will be on hand at the LEGO Booth
    • Celebrating the 6th season of Ninjago, a large scale Jay Walker will be on hand at the LEGO Booth
    • An MCU version of Captain America will be on display at the LEGO booth

    For those who are interested in one of the two exclusive figure giveaways, LEGO provided details for that, as well as how those of us willing to use Twitter, but not willing (or able) to attend SDCC can have a chance too:

    To secure an opportunity to receive a LEGO minifigure giveaway, show attendees should visit the Pavilion Terrace at 12:30 pm each day to enter an instant drawing giveaway, to be fulfilled on the spot while supplies last. One drawing per person per day.

    Thursday, July 21, and Saturday, July 22: “Ray” Palmer as The Atom minifigure
    Friday, July 22, and Sunday, July 24: Steve Rogers as Captain America minifigure

    Fans who are not attending SDCC have a chance to win the exclusive LEGO minifigure giveaways and Exclusive Retail Sets via Twitter by following @LEGO_Group and the hashtag #LEGOSDCC.

    You can also watch a pretty awesome video of the making of the LEGO Movie Batman figure below the fold… though honestly, I want that mini (but still huge) version on the table behind the builders). There are also several pictures of the life-sized and large sized models as well.

  • LEGO Announces New Brickheadz Line as Comic Con Exclusives, Purchase Details

    LEGO Announces New Brickheadz Line as Comic Con Exclusives, Purchase Details

    LEGO announces BrickHeadz, a new collectible play experience that allows “builders to create, collect and display versions of iconic characters and superheroes out of classic LEGO bricks and elements.” They look like a cross between CubeDudes and Funko Pop! figures. Coinciding with the launch, LEGO will be offering limited edition, one-run only sets to be sold at this year’s San Diego Comic Con. There will be a total of four sets, two each for DC and Marvel, with each set containing two iconic characters. For DC there will be a Superman and Wonder Woman, and a Batman and Joker set. Representing Marvel will be two-packs of Dr. Strange and Black Panther, and Captain America and Iron Man.

    I am trying to confirm this but I am pretty sure the only exclusivity aspect of these sets is the packaging and maybe that they are two-packs. I can’t imagine that this would be the only way to get your hands on a Batman. Once I confirm, I will update this post, so keep checking back.

    To purchase the exclusive sets, this is the info that came along with the announcement:

    While purchase and fulfillment of exclusive LEGO BrickHeadz sets will take place in LEGO booth #2829, attendees must first visit the Pavilion Terrace to participate in a random drawing to qualify to buy, beginning as early as 7 am daily. Each of the four exclusive retail sets will be sold on separate days of the show, with a limit of one set per attendee per day. Tickets to purchase must be redeemed on the same day or purchase is forfeited.

    § Schedule for retail exclusives:

    § July 21st-Batman™ and The Joker™
    § July 22st Black Panther and Dr. Strange
    § July 23nd Superman™ and Wonder Woman™
    § July 24th- Captain America and Iron Man

    § Price at SDCC will be $40

    § Fans who are not attending SDCC have a chance to win one of the exclusives via Twitter by following @LEGO_Group and the hashtag #LEGOSDCC.

    There you have it. More pictures below.

  • New Batman v Superman Trailer Brings On The Bad Guys

    New Batman v Superman Trailer Brings On The Bad Guys

    After the unmasking clip popped up on-line the other day, I didn’t think I could meh any harder. Then I watched this trailer.

    I dug down deep, so deep I felt as though I’d fallen into a bottomless abyss and the mighty meh that was brought forth from that depth could’ve been heard all the way across the continent in Hollywood… alas, the heads of those who should be listening were all too firmly wedged within their own butts to hear anything anyone said. And so we get wacky Dot-Com Billionaire/Mad Scientist Luthor, creating Frankenzod’s Doomonster/rejected Hobbit troll to fight the title duo that he’s already manipulating into fighting each other and then Wonder Woman (Woo, best part!) for some reason. Can’t wait to hear how they shoe horn in Cyborg and Aquaman from someone desperate enough for a Bat-fix to go see this.

    I’m holding on to hope for the stand alone Wonder Woman film now that set pics confirm it’s a period story set almost 100 years before this movie. With any luck it will be good and truly stand alone from the rest of DC’s questionable film decisions.

    And for those who loved this trailer so much you’ll watch it over and over again all day, Rejoice! Now you have something to tide you over until Transformers 5.

    Me? I’ll be watching the Arrow/Flash crossover tonight with my family. Hooray for DCTV!
