They’re making a Flash racers set that has Flash and… Captain Cold?
I would have expected Reverse Flash/Zoom or Superman, but hey.
Also, I find the inclusion of Hyperion in a set to be…. Fishy.
Hyperion appears to be a relatively second rate marvel person. The fact that firefly is also coming suggests that DC and Marvel are branching out from more well known characters, which is a good thing.
Well I mean, Captain Marvel at least has a movie coming up. Hyperion is one of several versions of a character from an alternate universe who’s essentially a Superman-like character on a Justice League-like team who decide the best way to ensure peace on earth is to take it over and run it themselves.
One version of the character was active in the 616 (the main universe) but he’s a really oddball pick. I mean, Firefly is kind of obscure too, but he’s a Batman villain and they’ve covered a lot of ground there already. I don’t get the reasoning behind Hyperion at all.
Just be glad that they are branching out. I don’t mind the core characters of these universes, but bringing in new faces every now and then is refreshing.
Reverse Flash please. It’s funny how much the Simpsons and Minecraft sets show a love and understanding of the Licence by TLG, and with super heroes… {insert raspberry}
How so?
for the Simpsons sets. . there are so many details in there that only hardcore fans of the series would ever get. And even in Scooby Doo, the villains in the sets actually map back to actual villains in episodes of the old TV show. It’s the type of stuff fans really enjoy, and I don’t even care for Scooby Doo.
For super heroes.. They made Green Lantern only an ultra rare figure for the first three years. He’s one of the main DC super heroes.. I think they are just so focused on Batman, Superman, Spiderman, Iron Man and Captain America that they pretty much assume any other hero is incapable of anchoring his or her own set. i think those five are included in 90 percent of all the hero sets. And just in general I don’t see the types of details in the hero sets as I do the Simpsons. Maybe they figure Simpsons is for an older audience.. I’m not really sure why it is.
Course if you look at the comic book shelves these days, 80% of it is around those five characters and almost everyone else, besides the X-men, are living off of their auras.
Super Heroes “Racers” eh? Interesting
I think that the question mark for racers 4 might be batgirl.
Y’know, we saw something like the racers LEGO is bringing in the LEGO Ideas page a while back
When I saw the racers I was very happy.. Then I realized there will be no new figures. Just rehashes and variants no one wants. Fantastic Four.. nope. Daredevil… nope. a 7th Ironman and 5th Captain America.. check.
Not to mention our 20th Batman…
yeah, I believe I have all 20 Batmans, and it’s about 17 more than I need. I would take a ’66 Batman, but I’m sure it will be Batman in a special space of underwater suit.
There was an Arctic Batman with Mr. Freeze I think. There is still many suits from the video game that they have not done, as well as 90% of the other characters.
Yes, I play the video games with my kids and I always get terribly jealous of all the figures that were never made. I have pro grade customs of a few, but that will send you to the poor house pretty quickly.
Correction, not yet made. With sets including Hyperion, Captain Marvel (Marvel), and Firefly coming out. We may yet see some more of the second and third rate characters.
Green Goblin will hopefully look less goofy than the Jrs version, and it’s a LOT cheaper than the silly Jrs set. I’m curious about the Hulk, too. I’m guessing based on price point and physics, my guess is it’s the one from the polybag. If not, maybe that means the Bane from the Robin set is a bigfig, too. Probably not, though. I’m sure the Spider-Man, Ultron, Cap and Red Skull will be reissues. What would be the most awesome would be if the 66 Batcave came with Adam West, Riddler, Robin and Penguin and the Batman/Joker set and the Catwoman/[theoretical] Batgirl set were in 66 deco
Yeah, I bought that crappy Juniors set just for the green goblin figure, so I have to say i’ll be a little bent if it turns out to be the exact same figure.
then again.. if it’s the same, at least I won’t be compelled to buy it.
And as someone pointed out.. this was a Lego idea submission from a while back. Personally, I think that’s a little shady and Lego should really make it right with that guy. I love Lego ideas, but they TLG needs to give credit and compensation when they take ideas.
Is there an image of these somewhere? Or a more specific description? What was the Ideas submission?
If you google ‘super hero racers’ and go to images, the Lego idea submission pictures are the first ones that come up.
Yeah, they look just like the bootlego knockoff racers they have in china
http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=301538948487
Do we know for sure that that is what these are?
On that ebay link it says Lego compatible, so yes, these are knock-offs. The quality varies greatly with these. Some are pretty close, and some are very poor.
Oh, I meant do we know for sure that the official upcoming Lego Racer sets are the same basic things as the bootlego and the ideas versions?
Well, they won’t be exactly the same as the Lego ideas project, unless they want to get sued or have worked something out. But then again, for that price point, and racers aren’t going to be terrible elaborate.
Really the general idea is to get around the action figure licensing issues (which prevent the figures from being sold individually) and put them in the smallest sets, with the lowest price points possible.
Also as someone who mainly collects minifigures now (I have more bricks than I can store) I love the idea. I just think the character selection makes no sense. There needs to be at least one new character in every set, else what is the point.
wow can not wait see it
I blag you guys didn’t see the of Lego Marvels Super hero set
I think that Iron Man is the only character that I don’t mind getting endless variations of, because they can all just be different suits of armour for his Hall of Armours. I certainly would have liked to see some more variety though; there are hundreds of characters in both Marvel and DC that Lego could make. We certainly have seen more non-A-list characters this year, but Lego could do even better.
