This is 76215, which was rumored as the Hulkbuster. The more expensive 76210 is still not confirmed yet.

Shakes up the lineup. Is the hulk buster going to be $500.00? O_o

[Undi3sss]

The Hulk Buster is a vehicle I guess....

[Legocity2713]

Interesting. Truly the worst case scenario. But interesting.

[Clone OPatra]

What the absolute heck.

The gloves look ok. The necklace section looks ok. But the actual head... nah.

[mrcngrck]

Boring

[PGBQW]

Wait, so does this mean that the Hulkbuster is the 500€ set?

Or this is a third set totally unrelated to the Hulkbuster and the 500€ set?

The Helmet Collection is dead, Long live the Bust Collection!

Easy pass for me. I look forward to multiple of these coming in the next couple of years that I can pass on. If Hulkbuster is $500 set and that was rumoured to have 1 figure, thats going to have to be one hell of a hulkbuster.

So the rumored Black Panther transport sets turned out to be a bust? It looks highly detailed and cool, but I have to ask why make this set? They could have easily made scaled down version of BP mask like Venom head in 60-80$ range, not 300$ set! If they wanted to do UCS style BP set, they should have done giant Panther statue from Wakanda instead. And they didn't even bother including T'Challa minifigure in this 300$ set? Like what was Lego thinking here?!

Yeah, really confused. No Hulkbuster would be a huge bummer.

[BrickBob Studpants]

…what

This not only has the Hulkbuster’s rumoured set number, but also its price! So the Hulkbuster must be the $500 set

[hachiroku]

I remember reading rumours here on eurobricks about the 76215 being exactly this, a Black Panther bust, am I right?

And piece count too.

I'm actually really impressed with this set. Completely unexpected, nicely detailed, and a triumphant tribute to the great Chadwick Boseman rolled into one.

I'm also relieved it's not (yet another) Hulkbuster.

I’m really confused now. So there’s three options here:

• The Hulkbuster is the $500 set and the “BP vehicle” doesn’t exist
• We indeed get two huge BP D2C sets and the Hulkbuster rumour was false
• We get all three sets, which is a ridiculous notion. 3 Marvel $300+ sets within a month or two, two of which are BP-related (or all three, since it’s supposed to be the IW Hulkbuster)?!

Lego is loosing their mind. It will sell to some none lego fans it will sell to some lego fans but what a boring cash grab of a set. I was looking forward to a helmet sized black panther mask. The head on this doesn't even look that great. i do like the "scales" they did though. Anyone that owns a batmobile or the TIE helmet knows all black sets become very hard to see the details on unless you have really good lighting. Then theres the fact that this this will be a DUST magnet.

I think this and the Hogwarts express are really showing where lego is taking the idea of a "premium" product. Sell for way above expected price and market to adults who like the IP instead of adults who like Lego.

I'm guessing the second option is most likely, if the leakers on this forum are as accurate as they usually are.

What about the possibility that the Hulkbuster is delayed (which FF suggested on IG) and the $500 set is a wild card?

[Clone OPatra]

I guess I still haven't come to terms with the reality that sets with piece counts and prices this high have become so commonplace that it means nothing at this point. Having grown up in an era when LEGO sets rarely surpassed $100 (yeah I know, inflation yada yada) and then watched as they slowly tested the waters with larger sets and display pieces in the early 2000s, sets this huge still feel like they are supposed to be special, once in a while things.

But or course that isn't the case any more. It's not like this takes anything else's spot particularly because LEGO will just announce another 3000 piece set tomorrow.

This has already been the case for the past few years. It's market to people who like the IP, have nostalgia for LEGO, and plenty of cash. That isn't new to this specific season.

Or the Hulkbuster was pushed to 2023 as a result of the black panther stuff beinging added 

 

Most likely the Hulkbuster will be the $500 set and the black panther set is this set and the vehicle part was added somewhere along the info chain line

Can you confirm the Hulkbuster MKII is definitely happening?

Doubtful. Didn’t they claim the Hulkbuster was twice as tall as the previous one? If true, $350 would never have made sense, now that I think about it. Doubling the height of an object means 4 times the area and 8 times the volume, so it should be a lot more expensive than roughly double the price

So, no $500 BP vehicle anymore, Hulkbuster is now $500+, and it will likely be released next year?

I remember a time when people on this forum weren't the target market because kids were. Now we aren't the target market because Non-Lego fans are
