   Hello all,

I was checking out all the new files on Brickshelf and came across this folder: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=116733 Are these sets fake or real? I checked the Lego S@H website with no matches found. Any help would be appreciated.

If I were guessing, I’d guess fake. LEGO previewed 4 new Racers tyre can sets at Toy Fair in NYC in Feb, and these weren’t them.

These have a lot of licensing prerequesites that just shout “not likely to have happened without fanfare” to me. But I could be wrong.

Oh, come on--you’re never wrong. Well, just that one time.

RE: Licensing; I believe you are correct. To my knowledge, Art Asylum currently holds the only brick-based construction toy license for Batman, and this covers the comic book character as well as the forthcoming film. And I’d be stunned to learn of an out-of-the-blue Blade Runner license, too.

Dave!
