I'm getting an error when trying to add it to the bag.
New year, same old LEGO S@H issues...
Confirmed at my LEGO store.
First come, first serve though - they are not holding sets.

Nice idea, multiple smaller orders because they lowered the free shipping threshold. Just placed my order for the Valentine set and seven Batman minifigs.

Sorry if old but I didn't know you could order this yet so it might be a new listing.
You can order the LEGO Batman Movie Excalibur Batman for LEGO Dimensions. It appears to have release day shipping (or nearly so, it says 'arrives on or shortly after')

Yeah, it's Dimensions but the exclusive Batman minifigure is relevant for most of us here I think!
Now, you may also easily be able to just walk into a Target on that day and get one -- but I'm lazy
With that sword, doesn't that make him a Nexo Dark Knight?
Oh yeah, ended the year with a good one!
I found some missing batman sets. they are on the site but they just aren't being indexed properly yet

Soon, Arkham. Soon.
Ahh -- well i'm glad i'm not the only one smart enough to find them haha... really easy just type in the set # and set name in the right sequence
That's immediately what I thought when they first revealed it. The minifigure is really cool, the sword is a bit much... but, still kinda works!

Grabbed the Joker Balloon set and Scarecrow Getaway. Threw in a $.99 Wild Style keychain to get over $35 and done. Easy enough.

What do you mean, odd? Looks brilliant!
Not a negative, just atypical.
SW Polys are usually mini-scale ships or minifigs. This is something new.

The X-Files Coming To LEGO Dimensions?
Hard to say if anything will come of it (Like Red Dwarf/Flintstones which have previously hinted at)
Although I do customs ones I'd love for them to do official versions.
Was just gonna ask you if you've got anything to do with this lol
Completely misinterpreted that. My bad!
This will go on sale? Hope I can find it. Not every toy store caries poly's and I can see this flying of the shelves
jetpacks was yes

Many thanks

Wow. This is excellent. How do I get one?
Doctor Who Ideas and a few more sets have been changed to $x.98 and now qualify for BOGO 50% clearance. Though they may show a $x.97 price on the search results from the above link, when you click to the product page of a particular set, the price may be different.

Quick question: these Seasonal packs are exclusive or time-exclusive to S@H?

I'm surprised it has not been done before actually.
Looks sweet.

Just built the Fantastic Beasts story pack thing for LEGO Dimensions. There's obviously not a great deal to these sets but this one looks really nice, it all looks really intricate and detailed when it's done. Definitely my favourite looking one of the three so far.
Batman minifigs are up in the UK at Argos, three quid, FFS. That was the price of a Mixel before they were killed off, I think LEGO must have had a choice between ending Mixels and jacking up the price and went with ending them.

Is R2's dome the same size as the one in Obi Wan's UCS Starfighter?

Wow, Toys R Us really loves to gouge those prices, eh? Popped in to see if they had their new Lego Batman stuff out, and they sure do... with premium pricing. Seeing huge markups on all the big sets, minifigs for $1 more than Target... And I could swear that Batmobile was $59 before Christmas; now it's $79.
Yikes.
Yikes.

They'll pricematch though so it's not a huge deal if you want to buy from them. Only reason I got Arkham from them instead of S@H is because they decided to honor the LEGO catalogue price.

Yeah I've bought 1 modular Lepin set so far.
The Fire station. Always wanted it and refused to pay the prices for aftermarket Lego. £48 and it's so far glorious. I could give a review but its not get finished.
However the only problem is a large flat plate which is slightly too small so causes the base plates to flex but without it it is fine.
I love Lego, but I have no problems buying Lepin. The quality is excellent and I will be getting more for retired sets and for more bricks for MOCs.
They actually have the Assembly Square already! £130 but official one is £160 and would rather spend the extra £30 for the official one.
Assembly Square is on my list. I can't wait for it. Hope we have another MOC this year.
You should.
We've been over this many times in this topic, and I don't want to start over again, but Lepin is filth for many reasons. And buying it is at least a sign of enourmous disrespect to the work of lego and it's designers, not even considering the possible links to organised crime.
If you love Lego, you stay away from Lepin.
I really want it to be a bannable offense to talk about buying it really but I'm sure that's a no go. I mean I don't go to gaming side but is buying bootleg games and talking about it ok to do?
if it is, can we put it in the topic and start reporting it. I don't want to be an ass but the fact that "company" keeps being brought up in a Lego thread is disgusting. I have no problem with LEGAL companies like Megablocks.

I was in line at the Lego Store when it opened (Potomac Mills represent!). Picked up Assembly Square and Joker Balloon. Saving other sets for promos down the line.
My daughter got the Friends Cupcake Bakery, but she can't open it until her Birthday later this month.

Is there actual evidence that Lepin has ties to organised crime* or is this just a worst-case scenario that people are using as a scare tactic?
Obviously I'm not advocating buying that shit, and I don't know how anyone could be content with a collection that contains even one off-brand brick let alone fake ones, but I'm curious.
(*obviously what Lepin do is crime in itself, but you know what I mean.)
Well by buying it, technically your participating in a criminal activity.
toythatkills

Yeah my post implied that, but does that mean your claim that they're linked to sex trafficking was pulled out of your arse?
There are so many reasons for people not to buy Lepin without you needing to make up stuff like that with no basis in fact at all.
I said they probably. Most companies that do that sort of thing have mafia connections for financing especially in China. And the Chinese mafia is very involved in sex trafficking. Do I have proof that lepin in particular is, no, but is there overwhelming evidence and reporting that bootleg companies have many connections to mob activity, yes.
Made multiple orders for Lego S@H for the new year. Assembly Square ordered for a whopping $40 (Thanks VIP Points!), Arctic Roller, Scarecrow Delivery, couple mighty micro sets and Creator Robot. Need to start building more to catch up on these, haven't even built Brick Bank or Detectives office yet.

If you have a local Barnes and Noble, they have the sets at msrp, and you can get the 10% member discount too.

That R2-D2 opens up a whole bunch of future astromech polybag variations.

Well, Palace Cinema is still around but I'm thinking that set is super easy to keep producing since they're not dropping dark tan anytime soon. Parisian Restaurant is using a ton of olive green that's not really fashionable anymore since Chima died. Maybe if Ninjago or something picks it up, you could expect it to stick around for a few more years. It's also better regarded than PC, but you never know.
Case in point:
The 1x8 has ONLY been used for PR. Lego has to keep producing it, or they're working off an initial batch to put together sets as they go along. But it's not good business. And the same goes for the 1x3.
The 1x6, 1x4, 1x2 and 1x1 haven't been used in other sets since 2014 (Chima and Turtles).
That's a bulk of the set that they can't use for anything else, unless there's another green theme coming up that will revive the production.

I agree with you. Sorry, everyone, if you can't legally "afford" sets you want, then that's on you... but don't bring it up here. You're buying "fakes" from a company who outwardly steals.
So better to get it earlier rather than later then? Got ya; I'll put off getting the Ferrari F40 after the exams and get the PR instead. I've got £20 in VIP points so it won't be as big of a purchase.
