Thanks for posting these!
*Edit* I'm not really feeling the Hulkbuster tho...
I can't wait to get these.
Quite like Avengers tower.
Does the battle pack really have three ultron goons? I only see two in the picture.
And 4 different Iron Men, and two of the same Hulk in the same wave? Lego sure is going all out!
I'm fairly happy with this wave overall. It's a shame they've put Black Widow piloting the jet when in the trailer it's her on the bike...i suspect this was to avoid adding a generic pilot minifigure, which is kind of ridiculous when you consider how many people buy sets just for the figures.
Reserving judgement until I've seen the film and have some sets in hand, but looking forward to Hulkbuster (yes the scale looks off but that was to be expected) most with quintjet second.
Overall next years DC sets are more enticing, but I think that's most likely due to probably licence restraints on the Marvel wave. If the rumours about an Antman set or two are true I look forward to seeing those.
Oh and for those complaining about the lack of helicarrier, look through the rest of the catalogue...it's not surprising that it isn't there, and it's absence does not mean it's not coming.
All of them. Day 1.
My 'wait for a discount' doesn't apply to Marvel.
..or DC.
..or UCS.
..or Modulars.
Ok, so it only applies to Hobbit. Nevermind.
There isn't one set I see as a must-have
And I'm a giant Marvel fan
The Tower looks far too minuscule to be at all impressive. The box art makes it look far bigger then it really is. Maybe if you had 3 sets to put them together it would be different.
The Hydra sets don't seem to offer anything special at all- a couple uninspired vehicles and a wall? Pass!
And do we really need yet another Iron Man or Thor or Captain America or really most of these included characters. I understand they are the heroes of the film and most of these sets are clearly centered around being sold for the figs, but I'm so over getting the same characters over and over and over and over.
Here's to hoping we'll get some decent Antman sets or...gasp...perhaps some from the actual comics because I can't see dropping cash on anything here
Sorry to hate but DC is winning this round for sure
I think there are more spoilers here then you would think
What exactly would happen if the Staff was used on an already established AI unit (Jarvis)?
I think we already know the answer
It just looks tiny in comparison to minifig scale
Sitting anywhere near another building would make it look even like it should be a building off in the distance
Honestly, of all of them this is what I would buy
But it's going to have to be when they go on deep discount so that I can get at least 2
The other set that looks good to me is the Quinjet, but since I bought the previous incarnation I may have to give this one a pass (or buy it without figures too). Super Heroes is not my major Lego interest, after all. (I know, heresy!)
But the time window for Iron Patriot between movie release (Iron Man 3) to game (Marvel SH) was a gap of only 4 months (May - Oct). And for Electro poly it was the same gap between movie release (ASM2) and Virginia Kidsfest promo of 4 months (May - Oct). Rocket Raccoon was only 3 month gap from movie to promo (Aug - Nov), but even less if you consider the SDCC version.
So we are now well outside of the typical time frame for a promo poly of the Winter Soldier if it were based on CA2, thus making it more unlikely to come via promo poly with each passing day.
My only complaint, which I should keep until I see a more clear picture, is that Captain America's face does seem squished.
A) For the cost of a licensed set that essentially centers around the figs (otherwise it's just a car or a tower that could be found in City or something) I don't want to buy the same figures over and over. I don't personally care if they have some new, slightly different printing
If I were to buy all of these sets I would personally have 4 Captain Americas, 4 Thors, and 8 or 9 IronMans
B) there are thousands of characters in the Marvel Universe that could be made before IronMan mk 4000
C) The "well maybe it's only in their license to do movies" argument was pretty much thrown out the window when they did comic based X-Men sets
D) Sure there could be Civil War sets in the next couple of years but guess what that gets us? More Captain America and Iron Man
Awesome
I'm not trying to shit on anybody's enjoyment here but that's why I won't be dropping any money on any of these sets- at least til they hit sale numbers anyway. There are just too many other cool, original sets out there. And frankly, if this trend continues I won't be buying any Marvel sets and be forced to do the unthinkable and switch over to DC. Sure there are 100 Batmans (Batmen?) but at least they bother to dump him into different costumes
