In the store letting my son browse for a birthday list when I discovered that they finally have an official Green Lantern set. Of course, I can't think of a reason why I would need to buy myself a Lego Green Lantern set.
...
Please help me think of a reason why I need to buy myself a Lego Green Lantern set.

EDIT: ...Goddamn phone.
Anyway, it's a Green Lantern set! How often do you see those? Get it!
Because you never know when Lego Parallax will attack.
Also, Lego unveiled the Big Bang Theory set today:
(via Lego Ideas, GeekDad, Brickset)
It will be available August 1st and has a MSRP of $59.99 US / EUR 59,99.
That may be because of the games. The first one was really about Batman, but the next two were about the DC universe, but they still branded them "Batman".
That's the only reason we have the GL set for sure - I'm playing through Lego Batman 3 now, and it's a lot of lantern stuff (which is awesome until I have to let my son be GL - little punk pulling the "but I'm eight and it's my game" card every time). But yeah, when I get it, he can have the space Batman.
Wifi on the train isn't the greatest, so imagine the "SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!" meme. [emoji1]
Spaceball One had better morph into a lady with a vacuum cleaner.
Moichandising!
Also, with a little modification, that first one can also be a Breaking Bad lego set.

It also has something to do with the fact that Ghostbusters is one of the worlds in Lego Dimensions.It looks like Ecto-1 sold well enough for TLG to release a follow up set: The Ghostbusters Firehouse. It's huge!

Which, BTW is fun as hell, but hard on the pocketbook.
Having poured shameful resources into Disney Infinity, I'm so not into buying any more of these 'collect a figure to play' games. So I'm ignoring the Slimer, ignoring Chell, ignoring the Mystery Machine...
...dat Tardis though.
Well, this is one of the nice things about Lego Dimensions that they just instituted. If a character is out already that you need to solve a puzzle, you can hire that character for 30 seconds using studs in the game, so once everything's all released, you'll be able to unlock every thing in the game without buying anything but the base game.
