For the first time in my LEGO minifigure-collecting life, I might have to buy a whole box. LEGO has revealed the 20-character The LEGO Batman Movie blind bag minifigure set, featuring Fairy Batman and Lobster-Lovin' Batman. While I love me some brooding Batman, I can't get enough of Will Arnett's lighter take on DC's Dark Knight. He has his own movie coming in March, but the fun starts in January, when the first LEGO sets start rolling out. That includes the 20 minifigures we'll be browsing through below (via The Brothers Brick), available in blind bags wherever LEGO stuff is sold. I guess feeling about for the pointy bat ears is only going to get us so far this time around. Let's see who we're getting! Lobster-Lovin' Batman is pretty self-explanatory. Eraser is a real Batman villain who has only one goal. You can probably guess what it is. Zodiac Master, another Batman villain. In his comics debut he predicted a series of disasters using astrology, only to have it revealed that he caused the disasters himself.
His costume is so dumb. If you don't know who King Tut is, go watch reruns of the Batman TV show right now. Or I guess you could just use Wikipedia. Pink-Power Batgirl is Batgirl infused with the power of pink. I am guessing that means she's pleasant. There'll be plenty of Dick Grayson as Robin in the bigger movie sets. Here we have Dick as Dick, with a special accessory that's sure to come in handy. Fairy Batman needs no explanation. He just needs our love. Orca, AKA Dr Grace Balin, a villain with the ability to look like a whale and swim very well. I'm sure she has other redeeming qualities.You guys, it's Glam Metal Batman. Clan of the Cave Batman. Vacation Batman comes with a floaty duck piece that will have builders going crazy, because they are really fond of ducks. I just love Arkham Asylum Joker's little toof. This might be the best Calculator costume ever created. The Red Hood features a red hood, so he's called the Red Hood. Commissioner Gordon is one of the characters I will wind up with several dozen of if I don't just buy a box.
Barbara Gordon, who we've already seen in this set earlier but I don't want to spoil anything. March Harriet, another completely real Batman villain. Man, I knew they were going obscure with this, but Mime?! Catman, totally not Wolverine. Are we sick of Harley yet? Look for these figures all over my desk shortly after their January launch. Then look for them a couple of weeks later in pieces all over my living room floor, because my children are monsters.Product 1 to 12 of 148 total Lego Constraction Star Wars - Baze Malbus 75525 Lego City - Tow Truck Trouble

LEGO Dimensions launched its seventh wave of content today, and among those new packs was supposed to be a Fun Pack for Marceline the Vampire Queen from Adventure Time. This pack was going to be exclusive to Big W. However, a number of people were reporting that their stores were telling them they’d either sold out or hadn’t received any stock, and if you went onto the online listing for the pack, it showed up as out of stock/unavailable. Well, it turns out there was a sign that staff were meant to be putting out in stores that informs people of a delay. The pack will now release in December for some reason. There’s no wave releasing in December, so it’ll be available by itself. Thanks Alex for the picture! We’ve asked Warner Bros. PR about the delay to see if we can get some more information. We’ll keep you posted. WB, why did you delay my toys? I’d have bought them, and they’d be mine. But you delayed them, yeah, you delayed my toys… And I cried, but you didn’t see me cry.

You have decided you might give it a try and thought you could handle 10kg in a weekend? Thought you might score some unknown treasure in its midst? Where do you start? What are the best techniques to sort it with? Hopefully this article may lend you a bit of help.
Personally, I have done quite a few hours of sorting, I won’t proclaim to be a master, but I have certainly picked up a few tips along the way. Here are some I would like to share. First up, there are plenty of bulk lots around, and what should you pay? Well how much you are prepare to pay is up to you, people will sometimes ask crazy prices for what they are selling, they will sometimes also tell you it weighs more than it actually does and sometimes what you are buying are not 100% LEGO parts. It can also depend on the content, for example, Star Wars is a popular theme and if you are buying it to make the kits to resell, you might want to pay a little more to secure your purchase. Bulk LEGO parts with minifigures in are also worth a bit more. I work off a guide personally of around $20 a kilogram, for bulk parts without minfigs. If it is under this amount, I consider it cheap and a good buy. If it is way over, this it is too expensive and I move on. This is a personal judgment and every buyer to themselves!
I also ask the question as to whether it is all genuine LEGO parts. Is there any Megablocks or any other toy in there? If you are paying by the kilogram you will want it all as close to 100% LEGO parts as possible! So, first part down. You think the price is fair, but now think about what you are actually going to do with it once you have it. Do you want to have extra parts for your own builds? Are you going to let the kids run wild with it? Or are you thinking about maybe turning a little profit and reselling it? Are there kits in the bulk that are worth a pretty penny on their own? I have done this with my sons on a few occasions now and sometimes it can be a good bit of pocket money on the right buy! Firstly, for used bulk, regardless if you are using yourself or reselling, everybody will want it clean whether it is in parts or kits. We will come to cleaning shortly, but just to stay on target, if you are thinking about reselling, think about how you are going to present this to customers.
Will you be selling it per kilogram or will you make up the sets and sell them off individually? Both have their merits. If you decided you are going to sell as bulk per kilogram, it is better to break down into individual blocks and plates, easier to wash and dry. If you are going to sell the kits, you will need to find all the parts. Parting out (separating out individual pieces) LEGO bulk lots means a lot of loose bits and depending on the choice you made above about selling bulk or kits depends on which direction you head here. If you are parting out for bulk, you can proceed to throw every part into some sort of container ready for washing. If you are thinking about sets you will also need to colour sort parts so you can find items from the instruction books. It will have to be done eventually, so it’s up to you whether you do it before the wash or after. Washing LEGO parts has its ups and downs. Here are some pointers. Firstly, washing it in a machine can be done if you find an old pillowcase and load it up, tie up the loose end and put in the machine on a short cycle.
Don’t make the water hot as you can end up with warped and melted parts, liquid soap is better also as powder can leave white streaks in places. I have done a lot of mine by hand in the sink. If you choose a sink make sure you have a grate drain that you can use to save and small parts that sit on the bottom when you drain the water out and drain it very slowly! To concentrate on the sink method for a minute, this is tedious for 40kg amounts, but works well for about 5kg lots. I normally place the LEGO parts into water that is hot to touch, but NOT boiling with some normal dish washing liquid. I have a dish washing scrubber type brush that I pick up a small handful at a time and gently scrub, then pass over to my second sink with a colander in (the things you drain spaghetti and lettuce in), dropping the clean pieces in there. When the colander fills up, rinse with water and I drop on a tea towel a bit at a time. Your first tea towel will get really wet, really quick. I have about 3 tea towels on the go, picking up the first, rolling the pieces back and forth holding the tea towel like a bit of a hammock, then drop it in to the second.
Repeat the motion and drop it back into another colander if you have one. I normally take one and fill it to about an inch under the rim and place it outside in the sun to air dry. By leaving an inch near the top, you can put your hand in and move pieces around once in a while to get the wetter ones near the bottom to the top and so on. After a couple of hours or so, I will bring the LEGO parts inside and place on new tea towels (you could also use bath towels) on a table and pour the LEGO parts out and spread them out thinly. Leaving it for 24 hours will make sure the blocks have no water left inside them for later when you least expect it. Before you start to bag up random parts by the kilogram to sell, or dump it into a large tub ready for random building, cast your eye over the table to look for parts that are impostors. Many bulk lots will have Megablocks, Kreo, no-name clones and even Barbie, He-Man and Hot Wheels in them as well. Now is the time to pull all of this stuff out and leave the genuine parts.
I have personally had bulk lots where the seller has told me there are a handful of parts in 10kg, quickly becoming a container of 2kg worth! That is about $40 odd out of your pocket on fakes, so beware what you are buying. If you have clean bulk and are happy, you can leave us here and happy building! If you are planning to sort parts for yourself or to build particular kits you think are in the middle of all the bulk, read on! People have different techniques for sorting, this is mine and it seems to work well. I colour sort first, black, white, light grey, dark grey etc. until I get colour piles happening. Now is a good time to line up a dozen ice cream containers or any other sort of storage to place your colours into. Once in big colour piles, I will then pull out larger plates, then the 2×4, 2×6, 2x8s of each colour and I stick my plates of the same size together on one end so that they sort of fan out a little. It keeps all the parts together and is neater than being loose.
