It could but I'd prefer to have both ends as corner buildings for symmetry. I like both the cinema and bank so that's a plus.
EDIT: Though I guess I could have the street against a wall and just simply not buy Brick Bank or the Cinema. Though I'd feel bad if I didn't buy the latter if it retires soon, still not sure on its design though.
I'm going to be checking out a incomplete UCS Imperial Shuttle. Incomplete build sourced from Bricklink. I'm already excited over a set that I can't complete and will cost me considering the Canadian dollar is in the tank and many Canadian sellers on Bricklink sell in USD.
I have been building and pricing this thing on bricklink for nearly 2 years. If I can get the pieces at a good price, I can overlook missing out on a relatively cheap UCS B-Wing

A restaurant is much more likely to be next to a cinema in real life, that's how I'd do it.
That definitely makes sense. Yep, I think I'll go with that. This is going to be an on-going collection and I'm pretty sure I'll be getting the cinema for Christmas so I think the Restaraunt is next.
If it helps your collecting OCD, it looks like the Catman cowl is slightly different from Batman - it has smaller ears.
that cowl has been around for a while, it's been used on the space batman and the Batman v Superman Batman

Those are cat ears.
Disappointed the Clock King was a false report unless he's in a future set.

Yep, this is a terrific looking build. It's very well realized.
These CREATOR sets are fantastic, agreed. The "swaying" palm tree is absolutely wonderful.

Like Wet said, that's the "modern" Bats cowl that came out in....maybe 2015. There are so many great figs in this set that I may just buy a box. I got off the CMF train around series 11 or 12 but they have been killing it lately....it's hard to stay away.
I didn't know she was voicing Barbara in the movie! Glad they modified the fig accordingly. Just finished S1 of Luke Cage and enjoyed her performance.
I'd go with the Restaurant first followed by the Detective's Office. The Pet Shop's apartment building should merge nicely with the Pool Hall.
On an unrelated note, does anybody have this problem with their B-Wing? It's not the end of the world, but the tail seems to hang lower than the stand.

I had that same problem. Dissembled mine, so I don't have a picture, but basically, move this connection up one or two spots to raise the angle of the display.
It was on the money for more than half the minifigs. So was it an early prelim lineup, or just a selection from the overall theme, and are some of these minifigs going to be in other sets (like Boxing Batman and Excalibat)?
Hoping that Clock King does show up in another set this year.

Boxing batman I think is in the batcave and Excalibat I believe is coming to Dimensions. I can't say I've seen that roman batman show up anywhere though, maybe a polybag?

Seconding the hopes for Clock King showing up eventually.

Same cowl as this
I should put a smiley or something next time. I was suggesting LEGO is about using one's imagination to imagine the same piece being many different things. Those are cat ears on Catman's cowl.
It's not that big of a stretch depending on which comic version you compare to.
Is that chef supposed be from the 60's TV show? I recall there being something of chef or something once...or maybe that was Mad Hatter with a chef hat on the show.
King Tut I don't recall ever being in the comics, just from the TV show. Just need Egghead to fill out villains from the 60's TV show.

Anybody egggstra disappointed there's no Egghead?
OK, I'll leave now.

I am very happy with the CMFs. Mime and Zodiac are probably my least favorite as I have no familiarity with those characters. Looking at Zodiac Master makes me want Mirror Master and the rest of Flash's rogue gallery.
What's the deal with Commissioner Gordon and Barbara Gordon? Are they a different nationality in the movie or are they just like George Hamilton?
Catman: Love the cowl with CAT EARS.
The utility belt is different than Batman's. I'm pretty sure it's just Batman's belt on backwards. LEGO would not have spent money a new mould just for Catman, although it's generic enough to reuse for some expedition/adventurer minifigs.
Glam Metal Batman: Needs some 1x1 plates in the boot color to make some platform boots.
Vacation Batman: Who doesn't love that ducky float? I wonder if the goggles are part of the mould (probably) or goggles are softer plastic that somehow fits over the mask kinda how Mega Bloks did with the Minions.
Lobster-Lovin’ Batman: Finally can make a proper Hugh Hefner custom minifig!
Orca: Is that Left or Right Orca? Love it! Great head print to simulate the inside of his mouth.
Eraser: Curious how they did the head.

They're the same nationality, American, they're just a different ethnicity. As mentioned earlier in the thread it's because Barbara is being voiced by Rosario Dawson.
Great CMF line, I'll be picking up Red Hood, the shark, Joker and one of the Batmen for sure.

Oh wow, I just saw the BATMAN MF photos.. Amazing series, absolutely amazing. There are 12 or so that I absolutely must have among them, this is a first in a MF series for me.

Wonder what the distribution will be on the Batman CMFs. I would hope there will just be 3 of each figure per box, instead of one being stupid rare.

Good tip, thank you!
I have been staring at this in my cart for 30 minutes now. Ugh. Outside of the con exclusives and two Doc Ock sets this is the only Marvel one I don't have....such a great price....
I think this weekend
27th of november for some (including Jokers Lowrider and the Batmobile). Don't know when the rest should hit (I though january first, but I can be mistaken), nor do I know when the CMF will be in stores.

That's a great one. I'd have gone with Studs & Tubes for your third though.

Studs by itself is probably best. I was trying to go for both sexes.
Also needs the VIP room with double points happy hour.
If you have the space, go for it!
If it was that deeply discounted I over here would have a very hard time passing up, even though I do not have the space to put it anywhere on display. That thing gigantic.

So the local Black Friday thing is buy three items, get the cheapest for free. It's a bit less interesting than 40% cuts. Theoretically, I could get something crazy like TIE Fighter, Kwik-E-Mart and something else for effectively 33% off, but that would also means shelling out like $450 at once.
I could possibly look at some midrange sets, but there isn't much I really, really want there that I don't already have. They have some exclusives but the only one I'd really consider on a sale but not at any other time is the Death Star or the Ewok Village and they don't have that - and it would be pretty hard to get that as the cheapest one.
Any suggestions? (with the retail price they go for here)
AT-ST - $65 (kind of interested but I still have the one from the Endor battle set)
Santa's Workshop - $86 (although nowhere to put it)
Imperial Shuttle Tydirium - $118 (I've looked at this for a long time, and it's retiring soon)
Mini Cooper - $108
F40 Ferrari - $86
Resistance X-Wing - $108
They used to have the Temple of Airjitzu. If that is still around, I'd probably go for that, the shuttle and then maybe one of the cars.
Edit: Oh, but S@H just put up the Lego Batman category. If I stay strong on Friday, I could buy a bunch of those instead. What else of the "2017" sets could release now? Creator? Disney?

Mighty Dinosaurs get! Thanks TRU
They had a bunch of the new Creator sets, like Air Show, the small plane, truck, and motorcycle sets.
Sadly, no robot. And no Creepy Geoffrey, which is why I went there. But happy to get the dinosaurs.

Been waiting for this with a tiny bit of fear to discover what the mark up would be, as most sets here are more expensive than the Euro price in Germany.
It's bad
It's 70 euro's for the Batmobile and 55 for Joker's Lowrider. To add insult to injury: they don't come out next sunday, but january first. My Brick Friday buying plans go down the drain now...
Also, had to do a workaround to get to the pages of both products on the Belgian store, as the Lego Batman Category is empty. Had to open them on the US store, then change to the Belgian one.
Did you get three of the dino packs? You did didn't you?

I thought about it...
Edit: and built the T. rex. Man, the head is a great lil build. Really fun set, and a killer price at $15.
A no brained purchase if you find it. Just a fun half hour or so, and you can pose it so may cool ways.
It seems to be allready up for sale on S@H in the US. But it's far below the free shipping treshold offcourse. Definitely going to grab three when it's available in Europe. I love dinosaurs!

Crossing fingers to find the robot early.
And of course going wild with LEGO Batman early next week.

The 27th at midnight an order is being placed at S@H. There is a very good chance that order will include all 4 Lego Batman movie sets. And if anyone is wondering the cost for all 4 in U.S. is $230 so start charging for those Turkey dinners tomorrow.

Train Update: IT LIVES!
Wasn't hard to convert at all since the old 9v motor is the exact same size as the new 9v motor that you'd connect to a battery. I was worried the motor might be so old that it couldn't pull all the cars, but it does just fine. Going to look great under the tree.
