It looks like wave II of the Lego Batman Movie Sets have had their official Box art image surface finally. I think that these sets look pretty awesome overall! Let me know what you think…
Per a few sites and Eurobricks, it looks like these showed up on sinqel.com. I checked tonight, but they were all gone now. However google still had them. 🙂

I meant to do this post Sunday night, but I ended up working on on my real job instead. 🙁 This is another great collection that reader Tushar Dadarwala sent me some pictures of and I must say it looks fabulous! Tushar is an IT professional like myself and he even has his own web page here. I have found that quite a few IT people like to collect Lego figures. I bet a psychologist could tell us why! lol.
Tushar sent me a few pictures and some information about his shelf. I must say that everytime I see a new way to display Lego minifigures, I say to myself, I should have done it that way! So many awesome ideas exist! As always, please message me on facebook if you have a collection to display and I will post it in a feature article. No collection is too big or too small!
Per Tushar – here is a description of his case. He even sent me a video demo of the case lighting system!
See below.
“Wooden case is 5’x3′, plexiglass doors and LED lighting. I had is commissioned by Aryow Studios. Here is the YouTube video of this same exact case. He posted it after completion.
5’x3′ – Display Display has 10 rows. Each row holds 46 MFs (2 pegs apart) Display also has another row of pegs on top of the case (can also be used to display MFs)
The German soccer team case: – IKEA ribba frame – my own brick built shelf system for the MFs
The Olympic Team – IKEA ribba frame – printed logo on for background – glued bricks onto background – all team members can be seen.”
Here are a few more pictures of Tushar’s Display cases!
Finally, I goggled the web page address for Arrow Studios, the person that made the above shelf. Here is the price list if you are interested in looking.

Two readers posted pictures of their collections on my facebook page yesterday and I reached out to both of them to get some better pictures and to learn a little more about their display cases.
The first reader, Claus Mayr-Zaininger used multiples of a pretty nice looking case that I have never seen before. He said that he picked this case up in German on this site here. This is the actual display case listing here. It looks to be about 24 Euro’s each. I will be posting pictures of the second reader’s case later tonight!
Here is a picture of Claus’s complete display. These cases hold 24 figures each and really come together nicely. If you notice in his display, he actually turned the cases and displayed them in portrait mode.
Here are a few more detail up close images of his collection! Notice the Mr Gold tucked in the display!
Olympic and Soccer Players
Mr Gold!
Finally, here is the box that the display case is shipped in.
Thanks for looking and I hope you enjoyed this collection as much as I did. If you have a collection of a display case to share, I would love to see it! Just send me an email or message me on Facebook.

I heard about a city set on reddit last week that was using soft plastic instead of the hard crinkle plastic that we are used to on our polybags.
I then received these pictures of the R3-M@ Star Wars Lego Buildable Droid and I noticed that this one is also soft plastic as well. They are a little harder to open without damaging the polybag. I went ahead and checked the listings on eBay and all of them in the USA and overseas appear to be this softer plastic. You can see some in the USA here.
This particular set image was sent to me from a reader Jens L on Facebook and he said “Just to let you guys know. It seems like the danish toy store BR (in germany) has R3-M2 polybags for free if you buy any lego star wars”
So, if you are in Germany, go check out BR Toys!
What do you think of this decision by the Lego Group? Is this just a one off for a few sets, or is this the future? Do you think that these are an offshoot of the polybags being produced by new machines, or as a cost saving measure? Maybe this type of plastic is better for the environment. Let me know your thoughts in the comments below of on the facebook post.

As I have watched Christo minifigures get better and better over the years, I have started to wonder if his minifigures are almost to the level that they are considered artwork instead of just action figures. It would certainly explain the crazy prices that these guys go for on eBay. This latest reverse flash minifigure really caught my eye and I thought I would see what you all thought. Please add your thought on the Facebook page or in the comments below.
You can see all of Christos current auctions including this reverse flash here.

In 2013 when it was announced in USA Today that Lego would be handing out DC and Marvel minifigures as promotional giveaways, by wallet screamed a little. It screamed a little more when it was announced that the distribution would be as follows.
350 Spider Man
350 Spider Woman
200 Green Arrow
200 Black Suited Super Man
With this in mind, I focused on picking up the Green Arrow and Superman figures first since I knew that they would be the hardest to find on eBay. They have remained the hardest to find to this day, but they have not remained the most expensive of the batch of four. It appears that the Marvel figures have increased in value at a higher pace than the DC figures even though the DC figures are almost twice as rare. I did a quick review on eBay as you can see from the links below. It looks like 3 of the four are currently available on eBay. Spiderman is not currently listed.
In this review, I found that Superman, even though it is one of the rarest figures ever produced is still one of the most affordable figures to pick up. I though it was interesting and that I would share.
Here is a link to the price guide for these guys as well.
