Can't wait to start loading up in the sets at a great discount of course. I think the movie might flop compared to "The LEGO Movie", so don't count your chickens... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a very likable character. He's no unikitty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree and I hope that both viewers enjoy the movie. I will NEVER buy sets based on a movie that's not been seen or reviewed thoroughly.

Unless all the funny bits are in the trailers and reviews are awful. 3 minutes ago, donbee said: From the little clips and things I've seen of The Lego Batman character, he's kind of a jerk. Not a very likable character. He's no unikitty It's called a "fish out of water" story. He has to adapt to his new situation, meanwhile hilarity ensues. Didn't you like seeing Ted Danson grow in 3 Men and a Baby? What about Adam Sandler in Big Daddy? Just look at the seatbelt scene. He shows true caring for young boy wonder and consideration for the future. (for clarification, I'm not serious nor did I take your comment serious. We all know unikitty is the WORST!)

jonnyhanukkah Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Yeah the one caveat is reviews (but all clips and trailers have been great). Even Batman vs Superman made a boatload of money! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely will hit 500 million worldwide. Just my opinion, I don't think this is one will have as tight of a script as "The LEGO Movie", it hit a home run. This will be more of a novelty movie and many have already seen the LEGO Batman character in the slew of DVDs/BDs they've had for Justice League, etc. over the past 3 years, so demand isn't quite there. The non-Summer/Holiday release will hurt it too (same as "The LEGO Movie"), along with goofy Robin. This won't be your classic Batman duo. It won't have a problem hitting 100 million after 3 weeks or so domestic, but after that is questionable. Lightning won't strike twice in February. Word of mouth really really sparked an interest in "The LEGO Movie". Like I said, just my opinion, but the sets are great! "The LEGO Movie" Total Lifetime Grosses Domestic: $257,760,692 54.9% + Foreign: $211,400,000 45.1% = Worldwide: $469,160,692 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make that £1.50 once you've bought the box and bubble-wrap and HMRC will (or should) take their slice of what's left. I hope your daughter enjoys it as I bet you'd rather see her playing with it than making a quid on the sale ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(eBay GSP) Not decided on Scooby. I think the level packs are an easier sell over here. Will see. How are you getting them for $6.5 shipped? Thats £5 each and the cheapest one I can find is that much just for the shipping and import fees, for just over £10 each in total. Still probably a good deal for Portal but nowhere near £5!

I bought few early yesterday before prices had moved. Shipping on the stack isn’t all that more than on one, worked out about $2 each. GSP can be like that.

[ 51-20=31/25=1.24 ... [cost each 0.999+tax = 1.06] oh yeah made $0,18 per ] whooping $4,50 in the entire stuff even if you spend time and do magic and use original case to serene wrap its 18X14X19 but there is one sticking "1" lying around. of course i am hoping that person doesn't use "media mail" to ship Edited January 27, 2017 by newbie77 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see why Lego would continue releasing these when folks don't buy any unless they're half off. Dimensions is a failure (a la Disney Infinity) and everyone knows it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
