Just saw Jang's review of the robo explorer, looks like a mixel with a light brick. I need those Light Bricks.

Bought Robo explorer today actually. Fun build, super cool looking, only $20 with a light brick, and that light blue is so drat cool.

OH NO!
Kids don't give a poo poo about raging against the patriarchy or whatever else their parents are posting memes about to Facebook all day. Jessica wants the goddamned pink and purple bricks in the girls aisle because that's what Katie at school has, and it will be a cold day in HELL before Jessica lets that pigtailed BITCH have a bigger, badder Friends city than she does.

Do you think Jessica is loving with you, mom and dad? Jessica is not loving with you. This is fuckin' war, an arms race with studs on top, and may the inclusive, non-denominational entity of your choice have mercy on the parents who deny Jessica satisfaction in the name of making some "woke" statement or whatever bullshit.

Total time to build was about 12 hours. Build quality is excellent. 0 missing pieces and quite a few extras, although I think a lot of my extra pieces are to build a little stand for the big sticker that has all the info about the car on it, not sure if that was an official thing or not. I'll be ordering the green one next here in a few days.

Light up bricks show up in various sets. They are in most of the winter village sets and I think in a bunch of friends, too.

It's a new creator set for 2017.. not a huge one, but it's cute.

Four more of the Batman sets:

Bane car. Harley car. Two Face bulldozer. Scarecrow helicopter.

I think there are 3 or 4 more that we don't know yet. According to bricksets page.

E: New batwing, too:

I would be totally cool with a side line of coming up with vehicles for various characters, not just batman.

I want to see the Iron Man car. Probably'd have an arc reactor in the middle of the hood.

All those villain vehicles make me think of Carmaggeddon or Twisted Metal.

Also, some (tiny) Starwars 2017 Summer set leaks

Am I correct in assuming Arrowhead and Tracker 1 are either some kind of Freemakers thing or from Rebels? I almost thought Tracker was a TIE Defender for a moment.

Called the Lego store, the guy was under the impression that for in-store, penguins Arctic roller was exclusive to other stores and was not in the actual physical Lego store. Is this true?

It might be because it doesn't even show up in search on lego's web store but you can see it on the main lego site.

Is probably a timed exclusive.

In the physical German catalogue I grabbed yesterday, thh only Penguin ride seemed to be the rubber duck that is part of the Attack on the Batcave set. No other set listed. Maybe it comes in summer?

Tracker looks like a TIE Phantom to me. I'm not up to date on Rebels so I don't know if it's been in that. Don't recognise Arrowhead at all.

I got it at Target and I have heard it is an exclusive.

Also...I think I have a problem.

I found a CL listing for the batcave at a decent price. Met the guy and ended up spending $120 for that and the batmobile.

Then I went to Target...

13 more CMF and the Scuttler later. Ugh.

And for the person asking about Harley:

1 - feel the bag for the square clipboard. There are 4 figs w/ squares. The tiny square will be calculator. The other three are Harley, James and Eraser.

Eraser has no normal head piece and has a 1x1 round plate. About as small a piece as you will find. But only he and calculator have it. So if you feel it, it's not Harley.
Gordon has a walkie talkie and normal hair.
Harley has a weird head piece. It is sort of like a W or M or H. I wouldn't try to find her based on that. Barbara's hair feels similar on one side. So go for the square and then it becomes pretty obvious.

Man trying to find a straight answer on the Arctic Roller is frustrating: apparently you can buy at Target, but the Target site doesn't list it. Lego has no idea or listing for it. Toys "R" Us doesn't. It's impossible to get any straight information about where or how I can get the set. But apparently you can buy it if you're lucky enough to find it wherever.

It is not supposed to be release until 1/1/17.
It seems to be a Target exclusive.
Some Targets released early.

I've seen it in 2 of 10 Targets so far.

E: http://lego.wikia.com/wiki/70911_The_Penguin_Arctic_Roller

Says exclusive to Target. Just wait until Sunday. Then waltz in and grab one. It's worth the wait.

Ah. Yeah I guess maybe 1/1 might be the thing... just every other 1/1 Batman thing has been out for weeks.

I'll squash the search for a few more days. :)

Some got released early. I haven't seen: Balloon Escape, Forbidden Zone, Battle Training, Scarecrow Delivery. Seen all the rest. But most Targets haven't broken street date.

Dunno if you are in the Sacramento area, but the Davis Target had everything out.

iirc there's some talk of Thrawn developing a superiority fighter program or something of the like in the third season, but I also haven't seen much of it since Season 1.

Or it's just Freemaker stuff, which might make more sense.

Thrawn's design looks like a Defender. This thing looks like a Phantom or something else entirely, so I'm betting on Freemaker.
