BrickBob Studpants Posted April 2, 2020 Posted April 2, 2020 Or is it in reference to @Falconfan1414 and aclego.03’s April Fool’s game where they had a list of 5 claims, some of which allegedly being true? If you ask me, the joke is that the whole list is false since none of them sound plausible Anyway, these were the 5 claims: - The Avengers Tower includes a Hall of Armor (doesn’t make sense minifig-wise) - the HP D2C is microscale (doesn’t add up if it’s indeed Diagon Alley) - Hasbro lost the Star Wars exclusivity license so the January 2021 CMF series is Star Wars (contradicts Itaria’s claim) - DC will be cancelled after this year due to poor sales (as if) - TLG has huge plans for Minions (which fell through, even if they existed)

DC is just one that makes most sense. Edited April 2, 2020 by benderisgreat
Anonknee Muss Posted April 2, 2020 Posted April 2, 2020 People have reported that the Avenger’s Tower will have a hall of armour in it way before April’s Fools. This is the only one that makes sense. Just now, benderisgreat said: yeah, I was talking about Falconfan list. DC is just one that makes most sense. Hardly since the D2C is selling very very well. The normal sets may not sell as good as Marvel but they still sell.
lego_guyon02 Posted April 2, 2020 Posted April 2, 2020 Idk how I feel about the head. It looks cool but I doubt the rest of the figure will be able to save the design, although that's definetely DC's fault and not LEGO's. But I'm happy this face already looks way better than her face in the actual movie
THELEGOBATMAN Posted April 2, 2020 Posted April 2, 2020 That head looks cool, but we've seen her design for the movie and it's nearly as bad as "Cats" designs... I don't know, I hope they'll be able to get the best out of that awful design.
lego_guyon02 Posted April 2, 2020 Posted April 2, 2020 Wow. I've gotta be totally honest with you guys, I was not excited for this set and was definetely gonna skip it. But that radar station looks absolutely beautifull! Wonder Woman looks great, Pedro Pascal (idk who he's playing) looks pretty decent and Cheetah is surprisingly good. Does anyone know how much this will cost? Just now, Robert8 said: Dude Cheetah is naked Like naked naked We already knew that from the leaked promotional material from the movie itself though
Brick Cucumber Posted April 2, 2020 Posted April 2, 2020 The WW84 set has leaked. It's so beautiful. I'm so glad we're getting the armour i this set and that new helmet/ hair piece is amazing. So is the prints on both her and the Cheetah figures. Also, the build is a fantastic looking set-piece. Blown me away!

The minifig’s not that bad, but nothing about it is exclusive. And can they stop using that face for so many characters?!
lego_guyon02 Posted April 2, 2020 Posted April 2, 2020 O god, please tell me they didn't actually use 25 stickers for the dish itself..... please tell me those are prints

BrickBob Studpants Posted April 2, 2020 Posted April 2, 2020 What I‘m more worried about than the potential sticker bonanza awaiting us is the set’s release date Sure, the movie currently has an August release date, but there are rumours that it might be postponed even further. After Sony pulled the plug on all of their summer releases, WB might follow suit. I hope they release the set as planned

wesker Posted April 2, 2020 Posted April 2, 2020 When I heard this was only going to be a radar dish I was expecting it to be one of those forgettable throwaway sets that are only useful for parts. But seeing it now the build for this is beautiful! Its easily one of the nicest looking superhero sets they've done in a while. And that golden armor Wonder Woman is amazing! Cheetah looks like she came out of the Legends of Chima line but she's still a nice minifigure.
Anonknee Muss Posted April 2, 2020 Posted April 2, 2020 If a piece is used repeatedly in a set (more than twice), then it’ll be printed. This isn’t an official rule I don’t think, but a safe assumption.

This isn’t an official rule I don’t think, but a safe assumption. LEGO is really inconsistent when it comes to printed or stickered pieces. The Stygimoloch Breakout set from Jurassic World made you apply the same sticker on the same part 4 times and I'm pretty sure the Kwik-E-Mart from the Simpsons went even further. With 25 decorations on the same piece I would say it has to be printed, but you never know with LEGO Edited April 2, 2020 by Guyon2002
THELEGOBATMAN Posted April 2, 2020 Posted April 2, 2020 Oh wow, this set is incredible! Easily my favourite 2020 set (so far). I can't express how happy I am with this set. When I heard that the build is only a radar dish, and there are only 2 minifigs, I thought it's gonna be an easy pass. It's not tho. Wonder Woman looks fantastic, new head mould, printed legs, just wow. Cheetah also looks fantastic! I don't like her design in the movie, but as a minfigure it looks really good. After a second thought white details also look great. Max is a generic minfigure, but it's nice to have him here. But the minifigures aren't even the best here. This build is stunning. It's... it's so amazing. Fantastic.
Captain Nemo Posted April 2, 2020 Author Posted April 2, 2020 You were so close Lego! Almost a perfect set! Why’d you have to cheap out on the third figure?! Why is it (almost) always the figures you cheap out on?! Yes I’m gonna nitpick, but that’s my Lego-Gods-given right when they continually reuse old boring figure parts for specific named unique characters! In what way do those generic pieces form a 1985’s Pedro Pascal? Now we’ll never get a decent Maxwell Lord! Did we even get one? Is that actually Steve Trevor—who knows?! Why is it always the superhero sets that have to put up with this? The whole point of this theme is to get superheroes—those specific, unique, characters that everyone loves and has totally heard of. Boo! Boo I say! You can do everything else right in this set—new molds, leg printing, great build designs. Why stop a foot from the finish line? Anyways, this is certainly the best DC set we’ve gotten in years. Great job Lego!
Robert8 Posted April 2, 2020 Posted April 2, 2020 (edited) Oh I only saw the minifigures first but now the whole thing leaked Considering this is a superheroes set I'm surprised Cheetah isn't piloting a huge cheetah mech Looks pretty good actually Edited April 2, 2020 by Robert8
NXS7 Posted April 2, 2020 Posted April 2, 2020 Wonder Woman appears to be reusing her head from the CMF series. Not a problem for me, there's worse heads to be reused. Love the gold armour suit, Cheetah looks pretty decent
Stormfury Posted April 2, 2020 Posted April 2, 2020 Finally an amazing location set. WW and Cheetah are good too!

In what way do those generic pieces form a 1985’s Pedro Pascal? That's not nitpicking but a good argument. Of the top of my head they've used that face for at least Maxwell Lord, Peter Parker and Scott Lang but it doesn't resemble any of those characters! They really need to invest more in faceprints to make them more unique, Eli Mills from Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom for example looks so generic he isn't even close to being recognisable.
