I'm glad to see these are $9.99 in the US . . . that sounds about right.
In the pictures the Baseplates are the same for all the sets
£9.99 is perfect!
These are awesomely priced.
I want to see real world characters from famous websites. Let's start with the Brickset BrickHeadz staff!
@MorkMan,
Bricksrt contest maybe? Build a brickheadz of a real person? Or it could be of someone from a movie or TV show or whatever. Either way it would be a cool contest and take a lot of inguinity since you wouldn't be able to print on your own pieces.
The price is perfect.
@OscarWRG, they are supposed to be, I think. The 1 indicates the series.
I wonder if they'll expand these out to other franchise themes as well. A star wars series would seriously hurt my wallet.
LOL, someone felt the need to include the baseplate dimensions...
Anyone else remember Lego Cubedudes?
Yeah... me neither.
Nope, still don't get the appeal of these. It's a no from me.
@BrickBelt
Contest on here (or forum) sounds good! Maybe allow for people to print/draw onto a brick if they would like. Let's go into the forum to discuss.
If the decorated pieces are printed, then I'm interested. Still haven't seen definitive confirmation of this.
Good price point. I was expecting around $11.99 or so.
Definitely in for the Batman movie ones.
1 $ = 1 € = 1 £
TLG lets us feel that the top three world currencys are the same... But it isn't the case at all!!
YAHOO! Only $10!
Just as ugly as Kubros. Price point is ok if you like these. I do not.
Are these Lego exclusives because I could see Target or toys r us selling these early February.
These look like great desk-adorning sets! However, none of the specific models in this article excite me enough. Would be cool to see an Indiana Jones model or even classic castle and space headz.
STICKERS AND TONS OF THEM. YIPPEE....
The news item last week said they were printed, not stickers. I hope that's correct...
At 2 inches tall, these things are a lot tinier than you expect from seeing the picture. Good for them for getting the right shapes at that scale, but I don't see the appeal. Every person has different tastes and I'm sure these will sell quite well. I do like the price and I want some of the GITD eyes or Iron Man's eyes. Those might come in handy elsewhere.
It did say from your favorite tv, movies, comics, etc... does that mean they may pursue another theme instead of only Super Heroes? That could be interesting, similar to Kubros.
@MorkMan. THAT WOULD BE SO COOL! WHO IN THIS PLACE WOULD WANT THAT? If it did happen (which I seriously doubt) I'd buy every single one of them. Twice. Maybe even thrice.
"White face" on the Joker.
*flashback to Marchetti on the Ultra-Fan Wiki and his weirdo story*
Wow! At $9.99 a pop I may end up getting them all.
2" tall?! Folks, check out Kubros. Much better, in my opinion.
I don't really see the appeal either, and aren't Lego just aping Pop Vinyl figures, with these?
These look like they are designed to appeal to collectors of Pop vinyl and other collectible figures. Very cool though can see this becoming a very expensive collection over time especially if they start doing Star Wars ones.
These most likely use printed parts like the SDCC ones, glad they're a cheap price as well!!
Man...I don't want the movie versions of batman or the marvel characters. Classic colors/costumes like the sdcc sets and I'd have been in:/
Kubros, BrickHeadz, whatever. Unless one of them includes special pieces I am after I will gladly skip the lot. No matter at what price. Perhaps some Black Widows as parts packs on clearance. Other than that, I'm out.
I want my Mixels back ;-)
Perfect price! I heard that there are gonna be some beauty and the beast brickheadz of belle and beast.
Price point is perfect! Tiny Hulk makes me laugh!!
If they are printed parts, and no stickers, I can see some of these being quite desirable for the printed parts alone.
hulk and captan America are my favorites
Yes! Totally expected them to cost $15 or $20, $10 is perfect!
"TLG lets us feel that the top three world currencys are the same... But it isn't the case at all!!"
US prices don't include tax. Since £1 has been around $1.25 for ages and the UK has 20% VAT, we're not being ripped off.
The designes are printed. I bought a Captain America set from the London Lego store. Just assembled it now. No pun intended. Hahaha
