Free Lex Luthor minifig with LEGO Batman 2 preorders
Posted by Huw,
I'ma bit late with this news, but it's still worth mentioning: Preorder LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes - to receive an EXCLUSIVE Bonus Lex Luthor LEGO pack.
The offer is only good in Australia at the moment but can't imagine it'll be confined to there, so keep an eye out at your EB Games local site.
This Lex Luthor certainly looks a bit meaner than the one in 6862, Superman Vs Power Armor Lex!
While we are on the subject of super heroes, the Marvel Super Heroes microsite is now live at LEGO.com. It's a bit light on content at the moment but I'm sure will be forthcoming when the sets are released... which if you're in Europe is in about a week's time! You can pre-order them here.
(Thanks to everyone that emailed...)

Cool.
I see there is a logo on the microsite for X-Men. I assume that means we'll see more sets featuring them in the future, hopefully later this year.
I really do hope that the deal is cheaper when it gets to America; I can't afford a Wii game for $78.
@The BrickKeeper According to the US EBGames site, the game costs $49.99 for the PS3, 360, and Vita and $39.99 for the Wii and 3DS.
And not to pick nits, but it's Lex LUTHOR. :)
Don't worry Neil, those are just Australian prices.
Videogames are silly expensive in Oz.
I am looking more forward to the Video Game than the minifig.
If you go on Lego Marvel site if you click on the people it gives information
Amazon.com $50 eb games $78 both sites have shipping on top.
So ozzies pay about $35 for a minifig?
I'll pass. Rip off oz prices must stop.
A bigger picture of the minifig is here --> https://content.ebgames.com.au/website/images/packshots/bonus_lego_batman_2_large.jpg
It appears to be somewhat based off of Lex Luthor's exoskeleton armor from Superman/Batman: Public Enemies --> http://fortresstakes.files.wordpress.com/2009/09/superman_batman_public_enemies_lex_luthor_armor.jpg
I could be mistaken, but is the armour piece the same mould as the one on the space marine in the next Minifigures series?
I am gonna order a DS version cause they are universal and can be played on any DS. And its cheaper.
@Energyarrow: You could be right, I haven't studied both in detail, but the link above to Whitefang's review of the series 7 minifigs says it's the same.
Wow, that is beautiful! Does anyone know if this minifig freebie is available anywhere that ships to the USA?! =)
Uh, 6862 is not Superman vs. Power Armor Lex!
Lex Luthor's armor is indeed the same as the Space guy. The only difference I can see is that the bottom left of Lex's armor seems to be cut off.
There is no difference, his left hand hides that part of the armor.
^ Ah, I see. I wonder if we'll see that piece in other Lego sets?
I went to gamestop.com/us today and the had the lex luthor minifigure with pre order of lego batman 2
@homelesshomie,
Yes, you are right... It is now available through Gamestop.com in the USA... Just pre-ordered it, Thanks for the info!! =)
Any news on a similar offer also for Europe? Just checked all European Gamestop sites but I found nothing...

@brizio,
Try different major sellers to see if one of them has it exclusively... or perhaps wait a few days and check again...
It was announced in Australia with EBGames first, then the USA with GameStop a few days later.
Good Luck!
GameStop confirmed that "there is no SKU number" for the free Lex Luthor fig, so it won't be listed on the invoice.
