Turtle Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Wow. That's crazy. And I think it's weird that the Joker's plot to sell Joker-gas ice cream is described as wickedly funny. "Hey, remember that time the Joker poisoned a bunch of kids? That was funny." I guess I just don't get Danish humor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twisted Two-Face Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Don't be surprised at all. I LOVE ToyWiz; they're a really great, reliable company, and have ordered with them many times. Their main problem?? Costs. Theyjack up the price on EVERYTHING, especially things that don't deserve it at all. I've seen some of their single-sold LEGO minifigures priced at $30 or more. It's awful and stealing money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minivenom Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Yeah, Toywiz is ridiculous with their pricing. BTW, I`m making this post from my brand new DSi! Yay me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirymate Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Forgive me if I missed something but did we come out of this recession while I wasn't paying attention? Clearly someone thinks some else has ample income they wish to dispose of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gambitron Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 One can always expect Lego sets to be an expensive thing to collect but holy cow! I could buy that kick ass Lego Death Star for that much! :sad: (wishing that I had the money to buy that Death Star). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reideen1313 Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Toywiz is a little high, but they aren't that far out of line on this one. (Despite the fact that they suck at everything else they do and stand for.) A quick look at completed Ebay listings for Batman LEGO shows: Mr Freeze set averages around $120 - ish. Two Face set avg $100 - ish Batwing $85-ish Arkham $200-ish Tumbler/Joker van $150 to $200-ish Robin $49-ish Batcave $200+ What I find interesting is the price individual figures are going for: Joker $30-ish by himself A lot of 8 minifigs was snatched up at the low, low price of $43.00 IMO these sets are going up for a variety of factors. Limited shelf life, iconic characters, appeals to multiple collector groups (both LEGO fanatics and Batman fans are competing for these) and the very real possibility that LEGO may not manufacture any more sets ever - despite continuing to hold the license (last I knew). New LEGO product news will start trickling out this fall. Hopefully Batman will be back on the shelves in the LEGO aisle. There's so much ground still to cover for this line. I can't believe Spongebob has out-lived Batman at LEGO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricM Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 Anyone know if there are any new Batman Lego sets coming out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minivenom Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 Frustratingly enough, it looks like there aren't any. In last month's Toyfare, there was a question about the Batman license and a Lego rep said they still have the license but no sets were planned. I don't understand the logic there, but as a huge Batman fan I'm sure my opinion is biased. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM2 Dinobot Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 You know, I meant to get these when they were out. Since the video game my longing has only gone up. Sucks to be me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
