  1. I bought 6 and cleared out the Boonton NJ store. Very helpful staff, nice change from what I expected at a Gamestop.

    I bought another 6 at the North Brunswick, NJ store, there were about 15 still left in the bin. Also a very nice store, helpful staff.

    Have all of them except Illusive Man. Nice figures, some interesting designs for the aliens. GL or Nova Corps customs?

  2. I just built the Brainiac Attack set (76040).

    As usual, Lego figures out a way to make something look like it's supposed to when you're done building it.

    I like that Superman and Supergirl come with an switchable angry or determined face. J'onn's cape includes the smaller upwards collar piece - nice attention to detail.

    The Brainiac ship looks good, although it would not get a good safety rating with the upper part of the skull face causing an obstructed view for the pilot (unless the pilot was a cybernetic12th level intellect, so I guess it's OK).

    Not a bad price a $24.99 at Target.

  3. Anyone else catch the trailer on YouTube?

    Looks good (in a "if you already enjoy the small screen DC universe" kind of way), I'm actually kind of annoyed that they gave away some surprises I would have rather found out in the pilot.

    I deleted some topic tags to not give away any new information.

  4. Got the Lego Hulkbuster set. Fun to build, rather ingenious use of parts (the hands are great!). Much better ball sockets than I have seen with the Transformers block figures, don't expect them to get floppy with age..

    $29.99 at Target still seems steep even for Legos, though.

  5. mostly DC

    • Earth-2
    • World's Finest (Power Girl and Huntress)

    (my daughters read the first two as well)

    • Multiversity (+ related one-shot titles coming) - I was glad to see Captain Carrot and the Obama-inspired Superman of Earth-23 return
    • Infinite Crisis (I'll give it one more issue, #3) - not sure how ties into Multiversity
    • Justice League (post-Forever Evil - I want to see where they go with Luthor associated with the JL); Forever Evil was great, pretty dark for DC
    • Sinestro (my youngest daughter likes this one, so I get it)
    • Superman / Wonder Woman (sporadically - I was not crazy about the Doomed story line, but it may be getting better)
    • I tried issue 1 of "the First Hero" last week - looks interesting

    I have not seen any Marvels in a while that looked interesting enough to pick up. I'm always good for a WW2 Cap story or a one shot story with him.
