SDCC 2014 LEGO Super Heroes DC Comics Classic TV Series Batmobile Exclusive

It's rumored season and the expected sets references for 2016 are fueling discussions. After the full list of Star Wars sets for the first half of the year, here's some info on the new DC Comics releases expected in the coming months.

On the one hand, we are predicted to have an exclusive set (Direct 2 Consumer) with a Batcave based on the Batman 66 TV series: 76052 Batman Classic TV Series Batcave. No public price or precise description for the moment.

Remember, LEGO had already made a remarkable foray into this kitsch and cult universe with the exclusive set sold during San Diego Comic Con in 2014. This same set containing a Batmobile accompanied by Batman and Robin could also foreshadow a sub-theme coming in the Marvel and DC Comics ranges: There is a lot of talk about the upcoming Marvel and DC Comics references announced for the retail price of € 9.99 and some believe that they could be sets of the type "Racers", containing a character and a mini-vehicle.

I see it as a Marvel and DC Comics-style variation of the principle of Microfighters from the Star Wars range, the third wave of which is also expected in early 2016 with in particular the reference 75127 The Ghost based on the Star Wars Rebels animated series. A Chibi version of this ship was marketed in 2014 at San Diego Comic Con and Fan Expo in Canada.

Another DC Comics reference expected in the coming months: The set 76053 Batman Gotham City Cycle Chase. We do not yet know anything about the contents of this box, the public price of which was unveiled by Amazon a few days ago: 24.99 €.

Finally, for the Ninjago range, a dozen references bearing the mention "ninjago movie"are announced (70606 to 70617). It is difficult to know if these boxes will actually be marketed in 2016 and I remind you that the release of the film, initially scheduled for 2016, has been postponed to September 22, 2017.

For those interested, a list of sets in the range "Seasonal"is also available. We find there in bulk the exclusive sets traditionally offered or sold by LEGO for the end of the year celebrations as well as the references that will probably join the micro-modulars already distributed by Toys R Us during the operation.

Nothing either from the side of the French brands specializing in toys.
