Just repaint the space marine's suit in green and you'll have a cheap version of this figure!

But as it is with any exclusive figures, expect the price of the first batch to go through the roof!

If it turns out to be like the Harry Potter figures from TRU for preorders of LEGO HP 5-7, they'll have excess to be sold for $2-$3 individually. But EB might run things differently.

I didn't know they've done this before. You think the chances are pretty good they may offer this stateside?

Probably will end up in stores or as a "freebie" with a purchase of the game. I think the same thing happened with one of the PoTC videos games and an exclusive polybag.

^ Yes, most US retailers had the "Voodoo Doll Jack Sparrow" minifigure as a preorder incentive with "LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean". If it does happen again with this figure and "LEGO Batman 2", I strongly recommend NOT going through Amazon - I had multitudinous problems with the PotC preorder.

The Jack Sparrow figure was also purchasable as a stand-alone thing for a very short window of time - only for a about a day or two - on amazon. This was a little while after the games launched for which it was a promo add-on. But I think all-in-all they went pretty quickly, so doing the video game order is probably the safest way to get it if you need the fig. (You can always flip the game on eBay and get close to 100% value for it.)

I sooooooo want that Lex minifig! I'm thinking he will be available at TRU as a free offer when you buy some DC sets.

While its great to get a 'classic' Lex Luthor, I hate that its an exclusive to gamestop. I'm not really interested in the games, but I do want Luthor. At least with the Lego shop exclusives, you're buying Legos and not video games. I'll probably just have to suck it up and buy the game though as I doubt there is anyone interested in the game but not the figure too.
