LEGO Batman Movie The Ultimate Batmobile

While the first wave of The LEGO Batman Movie sets have been out since the beginning of January, and they are definitely fantastic, we can appreciate them even more since the movie was released a few days ago. We have discussed most of the already released sets (see links at the end of this post), and we also briefly mentioned the second wave of sets coming this summer when talked about The LEGO Batman Movie books.

Just to recap, the second wave of The LEGO Batman Movie sets include the #70913 LEGO Batman Movie Scarecrow Fearful Face-Off, the #70914 LEGO Batman Movie Bane Toxic Truck Attack (with a bigfig Bane!), the #70915 LEGO Batman Movie Two-Face Double, and the #70916 LEGO Batman Movie The Batwing. (See all four sets below.)

While I do like The LEGO Batman Movie summer sets, I couldn’t help but feel disappointed that there was nothing really big and awesome. The LEGO Movie summer wave gave us three amazing large sets; the #70814 LEGO Movie Emmet’s Contruct-O-Mech, the #70815 LEGO Movie Super Secret Police Dropship, and the #70816 LEGO Movie Benny’s Spaceship, Spaceship, SPACESHIP! I remember excitedly counting down the days to get Benny’s Spaceship. How many more sleeps? Are we there yet???!!! Spaceship, spaceship, SPACESHIP! 😀

Then, last weekend LEGO tweeted about a summer set we haven’t seen before; the #70917 LEGO Batman Movie Ultimate Batmobile. Now we are talking! The set includes a massive Batmobile (which can split into four separate vehicles), a light-up Bat-signal, and eight minifigures; Batman, Robin, Batgirl, Polka-Dot Man, the Wicked Witch, two Flying Monkeys, and Alfred with two katanas (note that four of the characters are exclusive to this set). The price is going to be $129.99, which is just right for such an awesome vehicle. This is basically the Batman version of Benny’s Spaceship, and it looks incredible!

So to summarize, The Batman Movie is giving us four major Bat-vehicles; the #70905 LEGO Batman Movie Batmobile, the #70908 LEGO Batman Movie Scuttler, the #70916 LEGO Batman Movie Batwing, and the #70917 LEGO Batman Movie Ultimate Batmobile. Besides the large Bat-vehicles, there are a few minor ones as well, like the Batboat in the #70909 LEGO Batcave Break-In, and the Batcycle in the #70915 LEGO Batman Movie Two-Face Double. I really like that both the large and small bat-vehicles have the same color-scheme of black, with red stripes and translucent-yellow windows. They make a very impressive collection.

What do you think? Have you seen The Batman Movie yet? How do you like the current selection of sets, and what you do think of the sets coming this summer, including the Ultimate Batmobile?

LEGO BrickHeadz Series 1 available now!

in Other LEGO Sets & Themes

As we have discussed at the beginning of the month (see: February 2017 – New LEGO Sets & Promotions), the LEGO BrickHeadz collection is now available for LEGO VIP members (general release will be in March). While some LEGO fans are scratching their heads and can’t see the appeal, others instantly fell in love with these blocky and brickbuilt collectible characters. So let’s take a closer look. 🙂

The first time we heard of LEGO BrickHeadz was last summer at the San Diego Comic-Con, where LEGO released a series of eight characters (four from the Marvel and four from the DC Comics universe). People compared them to the limited-release LEGO CubeDudes from 2010, Funko Pop figures, and the Mega Construx (formerly Mega Bloks) Kubros figures. You can read more about the exclusive San Diego Comic-Con LEGO BrickHeadz sets here: LEGO BrickHeadz Collection Coming!

While in the Comic-Con sets there were two characters per pack, with the regular release sets, we get one figure per box. I think this was a good decision, as it allows LEGO fans to only pick the characters they want (although I suspect that most people who get these will collect them all). You will also notice that each of the figures have a red number 1 printed on their display plate. This means that they are part of Series 1, and we should expect more series in the future.

The LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes characters are all from The LEGO Batman Movie. This includes the #41585 LEGO BrickHeadz Batman, the #41586 LEGO BrickHeadz Batgirl, the #41587 LEGO BrickHeadz Robin, and the #41588 LEGO BrickHeadz The Joker. The LEGO Marvel Super Heroes collection includes the #41589 LEGO BrickHeadz Captain America, the #41590 LEGO BrickHeadz Iron Man, the #41591 LEGO BrickHeadz Black Widow, and the #41592 LEGO BrickHeads The Hulk.

There are also four special characters in LEGO BrickHeadz Series 1 that aren’t superheroes; the #41595 LEGO BrickHeadz Belle, the #41596 LEGO BrickHeadz Beast sets are available now, and the #41593 LEGO BrickHeadz Captain Jack Sparrow, and the #41594 LEGO BrickHeadz Captain Armando Salazar sets should be available soon.

LEGO released a corresponding app as well, LEGO BrickHeadz Builder RP, if you want to have some virtual fun with your BrickHeadz. You can download it here.

In the video-player below I have included a few videos for you. The first is a preview of all the boxes and characters in Series 1, and the others are reviews of the Comic-Con LEGO BrickHeadz sets. They should give you a better idea of how the sets look like and how is the building experience. And there is also a really good review of the Series 1 LEGO BrickHeadz characters at the Brothers-Brick (just follow the link).

As I mentioned at the beginning, some people love the whole concept of LEGO BrickHeadz and are already committed to collecting the characters. Others are not so sure. I would say though, that even if you aren’t planning to collect all the figures, you might still consider picking up a couple. The parts selection is very interesting with a number of recolors and rare elements. Also, all the decorations you see on the figures are printed pieces. I particularly like Belle and the Beast because of the nice colors. You can find all the sets under the LEGO BrickHeadz section of the Online LEGO Shop.

What do you think? How do you like LEGO BrickHeadz? Are you planning to collect them all, get a few, or pass? Which are your favorite characters in the collection? Feel free to share your thoughts and own review in the comment section below! 😉
