While it may seem like they'll be copying Marvel with their villain choice (at least to the common masses), to be fair, what other DC villian could unite DC superheroes at once?  Joker?  An all time great villian to be sure, but no where near the the threat to unite 7 heroes at once.  Luthor? Maybe, but not likely.  The only other I can think of is Doomsday, but I still consider him a Supes villian, even though he technically fought the JL in his first appearances (on the way to killing Supes).

Saw Neil Young and Crazy Horse last night.  Pretty damn enjoyable.  Not the most rambunctious crowd I've been a part of, but most everyone in my area seemed to enjoy the show.

Walk Like a Giant was epic and stole the show.

TRU always mark their prices on Lego above MSRP.

Red Hood and Marvel Jr. latest reveals

New figures shown at NYCC were Black Panther, Hawkeye and Phoenix (white version).

Pretty lackluster...

First round of Hobbit sets

Loving that Balrog.  It'd be nice to get that in a set someday.
