Sandwraith Posted October 10, 2018 Posted October 10, 2018 OMNIC Bastion, Blizz Store Exclusive. Awesome to see him brick-built, however if this is meant to fit in with the minifig line then he's a bit on the larger side.

I am sure this was only cooked up because Blizzcon is coming, and has not much to do with the actual line. Quote
CosmicSpeed Posted October 10, 2018 Posted October 10, 2018 Never played overwatch but this set seems kind of cool. I'm in for ONE.Sent from my VS995 using Brickpicker Forum mobile app Quote

Yeah that's probably the case, comes with a little display stand/placard too, so probably a one-off thing. Or it could also be a different scaled line with brickbuilt figures for the "robot" style characters, that would be cool. There's a million different versions/exclusives they could release with all the skins... Quote
Ayleux Posted October 10, 2018 Posted October 10, 2018 Disappointed by the price of $25 but I can't say no. Quote
Aup27 Posted October 10, 2018 Posted October 10, 2018 Anyone know or try to purchase this with in game gold from WOW? I know you can purchase games by using in game currency for tokens, but never tried merchandise. Quote

Only digital content. Pipe dream dashed. Quote
Lordoflego Posted October 10, 2018 Posted October 10, 2018 If it will make money....ok, ok, it’s a cool set then, otherwise, one ugly something something, joke, crap made up on lunch break....especially at $25. 1 Quote
Frank Brickowski Posted October 10, 2018 Posted October 10, 2018 What quantities would be "legitimate" to really call this a "limited set"? A total of 5,000 produced? 10,000? 50,000? What quantities have there been of comparable "limited" releases in the past? Quote

fuzzy_bricks Posted October 11, 2018 Posted October 11, 2018 (edited) I know sweet FA about Overwatch, so I'm not that impressed by what I'm seeing here. Do they ship worldwide or this limited to certain countries? I could add 22,000 to my cart but not 23,000. 22,454 was the most it would let me add. I like the Forma fish better, but I like this buy-in more. Edited October 11, 2018 by fuzzy_bricks Quote
Wildemar Posted October 11, 2018 Posted October 11, 2018 Initially 25k were available for US + 5k were available for rest of world. Quote

Similar to the brick built Groot from the Guardians sets a while back, the scale is off when comparing minifigure to human proportions; however the design for the size feels relatively spot-on. D.Va's mech will probably end up being a little bit larger considering. Quote

Could the 25,000 for the US contain the allotment for BlizzCon 2018? If not, how many more could there be for the event, how many would people buy there on site? I'm only wondering because 30,000 sounds more like a complete production number than 35,000 (should they really plan to sell up to 5,000 sets at BlizzCon, which I don't suppose). Quote
Darth_Raichu Posted October 11, 2018 Posted October 11, 2018 There is a giveaway for this set on Twitter. They announced it on Facebook, which is kind of strange since to enter you have to retweet the message. Go find the details on your own. I do not have a Twitter account and refuse to open 1 just for a chance to get 1 of these 18 hours ago, Haay said: Quote
minicoopers11 Posted October 11, 2018 Posted October 11, 2018 Ugh. I have a twitter account but literally only used it once to get a free pack of oreos. Never again. Quote
TheOrcKing Posted October 12, 2018 Posted October 12, 2018 I don't Twitter or Facebook, and there is nothing in the universe you could bribe me with to start now or ever. Well anyway I am certain the instructions will end up online sometime. They usually do or somebody manages to reverse engineer the build. Quote

southendsox Posted October 18, 2018 Posted October 18, 2018 Still more than 20,000 available to order on gear.blizzard.com. If this "limited" edition is more than 30,000 sets then it really isn't much of a limited edition (until it sells out and is not reproduced). For comparison, the Brickheadz from 2016 SD Comic con were 1,500 each. I'd call this set more of an Exclusive than a Limited Edition. Quote
Furious_george Posted October 18, 2018 Posted October 18, 2018 Limited to how many they can sell. ? Quote
froncz Posted October 18, 2018 Posted October 18, 2018 Built my yesterday. It's a cute little set with lots of nice colourful (orange) pieces but it doesn't feel like having almost 200 pieces. Very small, feels way overpriced. Quote
