Lego Superheroes: Minifig series? Please opine!
Posted: Wed Jan 18, 2012 2:46 am
At last, my loyalty to Lego is diluted from pure Castle. I picked up the Lex Luthor Power Suit and the Batman/Catwoman chase sets, thus sealing my own doom for as long as Lego has the DC license. Inquiring minds - meaning me - want to know from people who might have a more informed opinion than me: what do you think Lego will do with the vast character selection they now have access to through the Marvel and DC licenses, most of whom aren't easily associated with a vehicle or location?
It seems that there are two possibilities, and both use methods Lego is already using for their in-house lines:
1) Have Marvel and DC minifigure series, one minifig to "mystery" bag.
2) Have small "Ninjago"-style single-figure sets/double-figure "versus" sets, where you know what you're getting.
I see either or both of these as a good way for folks to be able to populate their little Lego superhero universes without ending up with fifty Batmen after they had to buy the Batman/Firestorm set, Batman/Flash set, Batman/Green Arrow set, etc. Thoughts? Has anyone heard of TLG considering either one of these methods?
P.S. If anyone from Lego is reading: I want a Hall of Justice, please. And a Nightwing. That is all.
