That article from BricksDownUnder went down once so I'll repost the list of minifigs here: quote:DC Comics Deadpool. DEADPOOL.  Really want him. REALLY want him. As well as Green Lantern, Lex Luthor, Superman, Captain America, Thor, Wolverine, Magneto, Nick Fury, Iron Man(if they fix it), and Spider-Man. My wallet cried out in terror, and then was silenced.

Deadpool is awesome. I want his box to have a yellow speech balloon of him saying "gently caress yeah! I'm a LEGO guy!" Make it so.

Hmm, seeing that list of superheros suggests to me that this could turn out to be another collectable minifigs style deal where you get a random superhero in a packet. It might be a bit easy to find the Hulk though!

Hey look, A Song of Ice and Lego: http://www.tor.com/blogs/2011/07/a-song-of-ice-and-lego Also the author of this is an rear end in a top hat to joke that Lego officially was making sets from the show. I thought I would ruin that punch because it was not loving funny.

Captain Invictus posted:They're not that bad, man. Batman's wings, maybe, but the others don't look too awful. Not what anyone would traditionally call LEGO, but seven year old me would have loved to have that stuff. It's also no worse than Bionicle, and like Bionicle, these look like they'll be giving a lot of cool pieces to build mechs and such.

Oh man, Lego has DC and Marvel! I don't know if this will be healthy for my wallet. I'm not super excited with the first DC run, but I always liked their weirder characters like Grundy, Etrigan, or The Question. Most of that supposed Marvel line sounds good by me. Any rumors if its gonna be just the minifigs or full sets?

So I have $100 in gift certificates I can spend at Amazon, Walmart, or Target. I'm strongly leaning towards LEGO Creator Shuttle Expedition. Alternately I could just get 10 of these: LEGO Power Miners Magma Mech Set. Decisions, decisions.

Alternately I could just get 10 of these: LEGO Power Miners Magma Mech Set. Do you really want 10 (more?) silver-armor Power Miners and orange Rock Monsters, plus that giant blue drill? The transblue half-dome is a nice piece, and you've got some technic arms in blue, and 4 sets of click joints and the silver hose...nothing all that special about the set, IMO. The Shuttle, though, is a great set. The dark orange tank pieces, a whole bunch of 4x2x4 white half cylinders Get the Shuttle and two Mechs. You can swing another $20. On my end, I picked up some Clearance sets today. Got Trash Compactor Escape at Target for $25 (mostly got it for the various struts and stanchions), the Arc-170 for $29 and the latest Fire Station for $38 at Fred Meyer.

Pyroclastic posted:Do you really want 10 (more?) silver-armor Power Miners The thought did cross my mind  I do really want the shuttle, the only thing stopping me is I already have so many white pieces. But still, I'll probably end up going with that just because I want it.

I was in my dark ages during the Spiderman and Batman runs and I can't wait to get some of these for my son (and me). I am hoping for full sets myself!

Although its not REAL lego, a picture of one of the new Starcraft Mega Bloks sets has popped up from comicon, looks pretty badass. I'm surprised no one has posted it yet.

Legos have literally overflowed one side of the aisle and taken 1/3 of the opposite side, smushing the megabloks into a 8 foot wide section at my local Wal-Mart. Also they had boxes with hundreds of series 4 minifigs in them, I grabbed 9 and got two Sailors, a Baywatch surfer girl, Werewolf, Fisherman, Rocker(the only one I could feel, the mohawk is a dead giveaway), racing champ, Viking and painter. Mostly satisfied, I like the sailors a lot, although I'm really, REALLY getting sick of the constant  on every single Lego face now.Kinda bummed I didn't get a Hazmat guy or Mad Scientist.

I managed to feel my way into a hazmat guy from s4 and he is by far the best one of the set and pretty easy to pick out. Take a green lego lightsaber piece from my star wars set makes it look like a nuclear rod and that much funnier.

If they actually make it in plain colours and not the pebbledash effect they use for the Halo stuff, it might be worth a look. But I've never seen the point of getting sets for the unique pieces if they don't match anything else.

It was a bit of an exaggeration, but a large number of the parts are speckled rather than plain colours. Not so much on the Covenant stuff, and I do keep being tempted to pick some of those up for the purple.

Which is weird, because the Covenant's hardware was pretty iridescent or at least brightly metallic. Human stuff is generally all gunmetal and olive drab.
