If all went to committed LEGO collectors I could maybe forgive the exclusivity. But right now they basically go to the highest bidder. By all means LEGO could just do an auction on their website and spare us the trouble LOL. And pocket the difference in sale price for themselves instead of giving it to those awful resellers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cubedudes back in 2010 were sold as one set together (not 4). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fossilrock Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Man these are UGGGGLLLLYYY! No thanks. Big time pass on me both as an investment and as a collector. Just like Pokemon Go, I just don't get the funko pop craze either. This bubble will "pop" in a few years and all these will be worthless. Then there will be all this useless funko pop figurines valued at 0 floating in the great pacific garbage patch. Regardless.... I also see this as another case where Lego is kind of losing their edge. While, we can champion the Disney Castle, and to some degree the Big Ben, Lego has been pretty stale on new and exciting ideas this year. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exciter1 Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 At least there's a 97% chance the Mega Bloks variety will be printed and NOT STICKERS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bricksnstocks Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 I think they look more like Nanoblock, which has been putting out these buildable Super Heros for years. In case you don't know, Nanoblock is a Japanese smaller version of construction toys. Kind of fun if you don't have big hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcdfan Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 So, there IS an upside. They could've looked worse. Wow! Those are way worse. Glad Lego didn't go with that Nanoblock look! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm 40 years old, an Army officer, a medical provider, and I have subscriptions for Star Wars Smugglers Bounty, Marvel Collectors Corps, and DC Universe subscription boxes. I'm not sure what the heck is wrong with me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is what I love about this year instead of having to spend time deciding what to get Lego makes it for me by making bad sets. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordoflego Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 We saw green arrow at E3 recently but not the atom. Both will be at SDCC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zskid00 Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 (edited) Green Arrow I don't mind since he showed up in Darkseid Invasion. I would like a classic version of the Atom, but I don't recognize that costume. Is it new 52 or something else? Edit - just saw that's the Arrow TV series version of the character. Good choice for an exclusive minifig. Nothing I really want. Edited July 18, 2016 by zskid00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Audience members will be given him when they enter the room. (Of course, the one year I'm not going to SDCC, because I normally go on Sunday, and would have definitely hit this panel). I agree - I'd love to have a classic Atom. This version is from the CW "Arrowverse" - it has appeared in Arrow, The Flash, and DC's Legends of Tomorrow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siddji Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 I love the new sets. New design on minifigs. I like Robin the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pins79 Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Where do you guys think the price for these minifigs will settle at in the next couple of days? I have a feeling since there are only 2 minifigs, the numbers should be higher and therefore price could settle around $100...before going up again...don't know though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaxman Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Hmmmmm... I think maybe if a Minecraft mommy and a FUNKO daddy loved each other very much.... That might be the result. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
