This looks to be another Target Exclusive set. \u00a0I guess that the first one sold well enough that we will see another of these. \u00a0I personally love the design of these boxes and I hope that they continue to produce more. \u00a0I think that the packaging was perfect and that the price of $15.oo US was spot on as well. \u00a0You can see a video of the packaging here<\/a>, I also embedded the video a little further down in the post as well.<\/p>\n

It looks like the set number will be\u00a05004077. \u00a0This make sense since the old one was\u00a05004076.<\/p>\n

I will add these to the Price Guide <\/a>as they become available to the general public. \u00a0I think that right now, it would incorrectly make it into the top 100<\/a> just because someone will pay the $112 just to have it now.<\/p>\n

I will say to Lego if they are listening, that they should not stick capes in this box. \u00a0The cape on the Chima figure looks like a silk shirt that just went through the wash and not on delicate. \u00a0Here is a pic of the cape.<\/p>\n

This image above is a copy of the one posted to the Chinese Auction site since that will soon disappear. \u00a0I cannot read chinese, so I have no idea how many of them are for sale. \u00a0I also do not know what \u00a0\u00a5<\/em>699.00 is, <\/em><\/strong>but Google says that is is about $112.00 US dollars. \u00a0At $112, he should just sell it on eBay since he would probably get a little better price. \u00a0But maybe it will sell for more on Taobao. \u00a0Who know.<\/p>\n

I had to look up who the heck Lightning Lad is. \u00a0According to\u00a0http:\/\/dc.wikia.com\/wiki\/Lightning_Lad<\/a>\u00a0he is<\/p>\n

“Lightning Lad is a founding member of the Legion of Super-Heroes in the 30th Century. Born on the planet Winath, he gained electric powers during an encounter with Lightning Beasts on Korbal. He is known for being fun-loving but hot-headed and aggressive. Every Winathian has a twin, and his sister Ayla is Lightning Lass. The exception to this rule is his older brother Mekt, who was labeled a freak and became the villain Lightning Lord. His best friend is Legion co-founder Cosmic Boy, and his wife is co-founder Saturn Girl. Their two children are Graym Ranzz, and Garridan Ranzz who grows up to become the villain Validus. In Reboot Legion continuity, Garth uses the alias Live Wire. This version has also been a member of Workforce. In Prime Legion continuity, he uses the name Lightning Lad again. Lightning Lad was created by Otto Binder and Al Plastino, first appearing in Adventure Comics #247. (1958)\u00a0”<\/p>\n

Here is a much better explanation of him. \u00a0I will not copy this one here as it is a pretty large book.<\/p>\n

Additionally, here is a pic of the front of the comic that he first appeared in. \u00a0This is an image hosted on<\/p>\n

Now, I read a lot of comics as a kid and I never remember this one coming up. \u00a0Not even once. \u00a0So it was either a weak read, or I missed it. \u00a0So I have to assume that this figure will be a one off exclusive that will only show up in this set. \u00a0That is unless they have a new movie coming out this summer that I am not aware of.<\/p>\n

I am not sure if the other three figures are exclusives or not. \u00a0I would assume yes based on the last set, but I will let someone else figure this out as I do not collect these. \u00a0I will however, post images of the first target exclusive set under the new ones so that you can\u00a0compare the figures and the box art that is included in this set. \u00a0Finally, you can also see a video of the first set here as well so you can see what the packaging looks like.<\/p>\n
