The proof is right here.... I am a woman and a scientist... Master's degree in medical biology to be exact.6 points

Do you work with women? Until this set was made I was unaware they could be scientists, I would like some real world proof.4 points

The funny thing is that a lot of people on this site didn't like the set when it was first announced. I heard lots of people saying this and that about the set and not positive things, now people are over the moon about it. Lol Hilarious. And female minifigures or males, this whole lego is sexist and doesn't produce enough female minifigs is just so dumb. Who cares if lego were to never produce a single female minifigure, the few people that have nothing better to do than complain about things that no one cares about, that's who. Just like the Jabbas palace fiasco...oh it looks like a mosque and the figs represent terrorist. Oh please, that's the last thing I think of when I look at jabbas palace. Lego doesn't produce enough female minifigs? Fine then, where are all the black minifigs and Asian minifigs, oh wait there were plenty Asian minifigs back in the day....they were all yellow! I don't hear people complaining about that. I want an ideas set, limited release, black and Asian minifigure set. God people are ridiculous now days! Rant over.4 points

Maybe that's the answer to the other topic about being banned from lego shop@home. Our wifes are calling lego and saying: "I am not sure, but I think my husband might be a reseller".3 points

So far, no one reported at BP about being banned from non-US lego shop. So, you can do 100 orders of 5. Though, of course, there is always first time. And your wife could ban you.2 points

As a giganic Batman fan, it was quite disheartening to know that I would not be one of the lucky few (or scalpers) to purchase this set. However upon learning about bricklinking recently, I realized I could just wait until someone skillful enough to put it all together would be able to help everyone out. Thusly, TOK you are the MAN! I decided to save all the instructions and put them together in a pdf form incase anyone wanted to have them easily accesible without jumping back and forth btwn images (or LDD). http://www.filedropper.com/sdccbatmobile Also, I managed to piece this together for the low low price of $17.26~! across 5 orders (without s&****) as I also already had the two mini-figs (even if they aren't show accurate ) I signed up simply to reply and give thanks to TOK for doing this and making this Batman fan supremely happy~!!! THANK YOU!!!!!2 points

All right, boys and girls... Mods, feel free to move it to "what I heard from lego employee today", but here it is - the answer from Lego CS to my "where the F is the listing for 10221" question. Of course I am going to ask them how come it is still available in Europe with limit 5 Of course I am going to ask them why other retired sets still retain the product page. And yes, it is indeed funny how they don't mention ebay Ta-daaa "Dear XXXXXXX, Thanks for getting in touch with us. I2 points

Just like any other lot, start with the mini figures. Then bash your head repeatedly against a wall. The problem isn't the size of the lot, it's that there is no profit left in it.2 points

Ha! Sorry dude I'm not emazers, I don't post info for everyone to see. It's all good if you don't believe me, I kinda wish I didn't order so many as I had to hear the wife complain about it all day long and she isn't done yet. She is just practicing for the Tumbler fiasco that will surely ensue in 3 or so weeks.2 points

I don't get it. You have to order for X amount to get free shipping. But they will send you a polybag for free. Where is the logic?1 point

As long as you use a major credit card and pay attention to the charges on your bill, you don't have anything to worry about. The legal protections for credit cards are so strong that any unauthorized charges get wiped out almost automatically.1 point

Martin, I'm in IT Mgt. Specially the integration side (connecting systems to systems both internally and externally) using TIBCO and Informatica. Thus, I know a lot about DBs, encryption, app server software, security certs, etc... Thus I know what is involved and the last year of data breaches SCARE me. My wife and I have started using cash more and more. Back in the 2000s, the majority of hackers did what they wanted for publicity among their peers. Today's hackers seem to be in it for money and street cred is secondary. Hacking truly turned into organized crime. The vast majority of web sites are not secure. The hackers are just too good.

Well, we could probably set up social club. But we will need waddamon, to see if we could get tax-exempt status.1 point

What would you like to get out of it? What amount of money would you have to get to make it worth, listing, packing, shipping? We can speculate on what it would hit, but you more likely know what you want out of it. I briefly looked at the other recent $20 Superhero sets, and behind Wolverine's Showdown and the Spider Cycle this is probably the third best seller. It also gets over MSRP and until recently was available for $15. The Cosmic Cube Chase is getting $35 now and Wolverine's Chopper is at $62, both retired. The build is better on the Cosmic Cube, but the minifigs are better on Wolverine's Chopper, IMO. This set has good figures and a good build, I can see this set getting to $50, maybe $60, within a year of retirement, but not near as fast as the WC did. I would guess that Lego will release a set with Wonder Woman in her outfit from the new game, which will probably hurt this sets potential, I just don't think she is as popular as the WC figs. They may release a revised Superman too, but we had all those MOS sets, so who knows. Edited to add that it looks like the Man Bat set is similar in sales to this one and also over MSRP even though Walmart has it for $16. I would keep your eye on that one too, although it is further out from retirement.1 point

For investing or your personal collection, this may be your last chance to grab this set for MSRP. These have disappeared from a lot of retail stores and only a handful of online retailers have them left. It's probably not worth trying to save a few bucks if you really want it, but it depends a lot on your investment strategy and how long you can afford to hold them if you want to make the best return. This set has been out 2 1/2 years now and plenty of people have stockpiled it.1 point

I literally could have written this exact post, minus the "Let It Go" anecdote, and changing the kids' ages to 5 and 3. They are completely obsessed with both movies. I've only watched each movie maybe twice straight through, but I've seen enough ~20 minute chunks such that I can safely say I've seen every minute of both a solid 20-30 times. If not more. I can pretty much quote the Lego Movie from beginning to end. I can't honestly say this is something I'm proud of. My kids bust out the quotes all the time too. The other day my 3yr old woke me up with: "he is coming. cover your butt." It was pretty comical. Sent from my iPhone using Brickpicker1 point

Does the poll include watching on an airline's in-flight entertainment system? Then put me down for twice. Once in theater, once on Emirates (on way to Billund).1 point
-
I've got a seven year old and a four year old, so I've seen it at least ten times. Maybe not the whole way through each time, but enough so that I have about 2/3 of the movie memorized. Don't even get me started on the horror that is Frozen... All I'll say about that is I had a batchelorette party go out on my boat and "Let It Go" was the first song that played when they plugged a phone into the PA, I did a very good rendition at the top of my lungs. And then hung my head in shame.1 point

Well if anybody thinks that the Tumbler will retire in a year, well load up on them, but I am willing to bet it will be out until at least the end of 2016, now if you have plenty of money to buy lots of Tumblers well buy them, but I would be getting TB,PS,HH R2-D2,Simpson houses and a few other Exclusives for 2015, and don't forget the Batman Ayslum. or if you think you can flip these for Christmas and make money well do it. but guys on tight budgets I would not be loading up on Tumblers until next year.

Thanks TOK appreciate you taking the time to review the files I sent and fix up my mistakes. The colours can be a bit confusing across apps and Bricklink and it takes a seasoned pro to find those. Hope this helps some folks.1 point
-
Lego's Digital Designer program calls certain colors by a different name which is certainly confusing. For example, medium stone gray is actually light bluish gray while bright orange is just regular orange. As you pointed out, bright red and bright blue are standard red and blue respectively. I have no idea why they added the 'bright' adjective. I believe this color palette on Brickipedia may help. Anyway, fatboycarney took the initiative to create a Bricklink XML file to add into your own Wanted List to make the process much easier for everyone. I'm just helping him to tweak a couple things until it is ready.1 point

Haha, I guess if I was a more patient person, I could have waited until that review came up. ....Unfortunately I'm not exactly good at 'just waiting'. Ah, it was a nice challenge anyway and majority of the build is there with a few odd exceptions of differently colored bricks and some bits of detail. This fix shouldn't take too long, "knock on wood". ^_^1 point
