Voltron Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 I still think this movie will be a great success. That being said I am also still of the opinion that these batman minifigures & sets are more mass produced than previous licenced themes. A good pointer for me is the amount of places that are selling sealed minifigure boxes. Even the recent disney minifigures weren't available in the quantities I'm seeing, and I don't live in a busy place like London. Most places only got 1 / 2 boxes if lucky for disney, however for batman most shops have already got a couple boxes out, the minifigs are selling but its just the quantities that scares me. Each argos recieved about 3 boxes, TRU recieved loads, the entertainer is even selling sealed boxes: http://www.thetoyshop.com/lego-construction/mini-figures/LEGO-Batman-Movie-Minifigures---Box-(60-packs)/p/530338 I really wanted to invest in the minifigure boxes but I'm not too sure now, I'm seeing these everywhere and in quantities like no other minifigure series than before. Even the sets are everywhere, however some of the sets (penguin car / joker ballon escape) are very very popular. When I initially saw the pictures of the batman minifigures and sets I knew they were winners, the only gamble now is how mass produced these are and how long shelf life will be. I most likely will buy, but definitely not now and I have never been in the qf game so will do a raincheck on all batman minifigures/ sets till end of the year when the next wave of retiring soon tags pop up... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deanfjr Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 I smooshed a whole case last night, it took some time, and a few beers, but I got it done. I figured 1 set for my kid, 1 set to collect unopened, and one to sell, as a whole or individuals. I am not sure what way to go, but I am in no rush to decide. I do plan on waiting a few weeks to see what happens after the movie release...although I am considering buying a case to stash away for long term but I agree with @Mhd747 in having some fear of the mass production... hmm to roll the dice?...... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddie412 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 I was just wondering everyone's opinion on the collectability of the new Lego Batman movie minifigures. My thought is it may turn out to be a hidden gem! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TANV Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 How have the sales been of these lately for you folks? I'm debating parting out the complete set I have and trying to sell them individually or hoping someone scoops up the whole 20 figure set. They're all still sealed and sorted too.

ravenb99 Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 These are not in short supply. Not a fan of the 20 figure sets either for resale. So I still bought 80 cases at a discount cause I'm smart like that 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
