Odd that I haven't seen a single one of these at Walmart.

[darkredshdow]

Seen all of these sets at my Local Lego store,I'm only really interested in the sets themselves(like tenime),Thought I am seriously considering getting the joker funhouse and bat mobile if I ever save up enough...

[Mattallica]

i have all of the new ones except the batcave at this point(back ordered), and though they are basically re-makes of the first series sets with lower part counts they are still great, now just waiting on the Marvel sets to appear

Out of the big three they are only hitting Target and TRU atm. If you find one you like, buy it. You may not get another chance in the near future. My wife is a HUGE WW collector. We've been trying to track down the Lex Superman set since we first saw it almost a month ago. Then we remembered Amazon exists...Now it is no longer a problem.

[ImABarRoomHero]

Scratch that, these are now officially out at Wal-Mart and with Target prices.

Got the Lex mech suit.

Great set for $20 at Target - I used a Christmas gift card. Turns out TRU was $25.

This was fun to build. The mech suit is very poseable. It might fit minimates but haven't tried that yet.

This leads me to an obvious question to ask the fine folks at Lego (does anyone know how to do this?):

SENTINELS!

Please make a Sentinel set to go with Wolverine, Colossus, and Cyclops with the Marvel line.

The mind boggles with the possibilities.

Picked this set up as well. Basically just for the Wonder Woman since my wife collects all things Wonder Woman, but I must say the set is awesome for $20. Can't wait to pick up the Batmobile and all the new Marvel sets!

[jcastick]

I picked the Lex Battlesuit set up the other day and it is TOTALLY worth the $20!!

AFI has pics of the upcoming Marvel sets, plus Lord of the Rings:

Cap's bike will work great with mates. It looks to the same shell as the big generic cop bike, which i have ghost rider one. It is huge.

[ImABarRoomHero]

Just finished putting together the Batmobile set that I got in the mail today. Man for $45 this is an amazing set. Five mini figures two vehicles and a bank playset? Makes me realize how over priced SW Lego sets are.... Oh and the Batmobile looks AMAZING!

[minivenom]

The Batmobile set is the only one I don't have right now. Not because I don't like it, but because I spent all my money getting the others and it seems pretty easy to find. From online pics I've seen, the Batmobile does look outstanding. My only complaint is the bright yellow rims, but I'm hoping I can swap those out for black.

The new Batwing OK, but it is a far cry from the original Batwing. The new Joker copter is great, though.

[ImABarRoomHero]

Since it comes with the two vehicles technically you can use either the yellow or gray rims

[Trekker 42]

I actually prefer the old Batman LEGO sets to the new ones. When they come around with ones I don't actually have the original versions of I'll see about grabbing them. For now, I got the Lex Luthor's armor set. I LOVE IT. Otherwise... meh.

[minivenom]

Well, the old Batwing is way better than the new one, but I like the new Batmobile's design better than the old. I'm going to get some metallic grey parts to replace the yellow wheels, but otherwise it's a much better design, IMO.

Old Batcave is better, but the new one is cheaper, so I'm OK with it. I like the new Minifig designs better than the older ones, but I still dislike LEGO's "headband" head for Batman. The head is useless without the cowl, so why not just make a shorter cowl, white out half the face on one side, and give a normal face on the other side in case you want to display Batman unmasked?

I'm really liking these, but I really wish I had kept my old Batwing.
