An article just posted up on The Brick Fan mentions a new press release from Warner Brothers announcing the upcoming line of DC Super Hero Girls which will include digital content of video games and animation to toys include yours truly of LEGO. This new series will primarily focus on all the female characters in the DC universe but all taking place during their formative years over the more established adults we are accustomed with.

Beginning in Fall 2015, DC Entertainment, Warner Bros. Animation, Warner Bros. Consumer Products and Mattel join forces to launch DC Super Hero Girls, an exciting new universe of Super Heroic storytelling that helps build character and confidence, and empowers girls to discover their true potential. Featuring DC Comics’ most powerful and diverse line-up of female characters as relatable teens, DC Super Hero Girls will play out across multiple entertainment content platforms and product categories to create an immersive world.

Developed for girls aged 6-12, DC Super Hero Girls centers on the female Super Heroes and Super-Villains of the DC Comics universe during their formative years—prior to discovering their full super power potential. Featuring a completely new artistic style and aesthetic, DC Comics’ icons such as Wonder Woman, Supergirl, Batgirl, Harley Quinn, Bumble Bee, Poison Ivy, Katana and many more make their unprecedented teenaged introduction. Each character has her own storyline that explores what teen life is like as a Super Hero, including discovering her unique abilities, nurturing her remarkable powers and mastering the fundamentals of being a hero.

While this does seem like a good way of bringing focus around all the girls of super forward into the spotlight, I would believe any LEGO set designed for this new line will ultimately and simply be considered "Super Friends" as in the characters being minidolls instead of minifigures only with a DC motif.

If any UK sellers have 41233 or 41235 available could you please get in touch - thanks!

Bought 41239 Eclipso Darkness Palace

41238 Lena Luthor Kryptomite Factory

41237 Batgirl Secret Bunker

41230 Batgirl Batjet Chase

41236 Harley Quinn Dorm

All at 50% off MSRP, should I return them?

Seems like too much of a gamble and a really long hold.

 

Ive bought a few of the $40 and lower sets for great discounts, typically 40-60% off. I rarely have problems moving these size sets for retail price or higher shortly after retirement. Lots of people will pay $20 more for a $20 set without concern, and it seems like the general public is unaware that this line is done already. I can see quite a few parents buying these for birthdays, Christmas, etc., especially the Harley Quinn, Wonder Woman and Batgirl sets, which are the main ones I scooped up. They will always be popular. Lashina and Bumblebee not so much.
