Graysmith Posted April 5, 2012 Posted April 5, 2012 Definitely my favourite of the Marvel sets. Not that I own any of them yet, but just by looking at them this is definitely the best one. Three great minifigures, great price, lots of dark red pieces and a bike you could loan to your Captain America minifigure so he doesn't have to ride around on that Honda Gold Wing crap. This bike is actually a pretty good resemblance to the one Captain America rode in the recent movie. Anyway, thanks for the review! Can't wait to pick this one up myself. Quote
K-Nut Posted April 6, 2012 Posted April 6, 2012 I ordered this a few days ago from TRU and it should get here Saturday! This is my 2nd favorite set of the line, after the Quinjet. Great review! Quote
Oky Posted April 6, 2012 Posted April 6, 2012 I ordered this a few days ago from TRU and it should get here Saturday! Wait, this Saturday? I thought the sets weren't supposed to ship until the 8th? Quote
Ardelon Posted April 6, 2012 Posted April 6, 2012 Wolveirne is also pretty good. Note that his uniform isn't regular yellow. It;s the same color as the Hazmat Guy from the Collectible Minifigure line. Really? I thought the Hazmat Guy was regular orange, he definitely doesnt look as yellow as the Wolverine costume... (Maybe someone could post a pic of both of them, for comparison?) Quote

(Maybe someone could post a pic of both of them, for comparison?) Bricklink calls it Bright light orange. Only other minifigs to have that color on them are apparently the forest fire fighters and the series 3 fisherman. Quote
Brinstar Posted April 6, 2012 Posted April 6, 2012 Just picked this set up. The figures are excellent, really worth the price of the set alone. I particularly like Magneto, probably my favorite mini-fig of the new line. Wolverine and Deadpool are also excellent and I for one am glad they didn't try and include Wolverine's mask as I'm not sure how the proportions would have looked. I'm less convinced about the helicopter, its small and with to many open spaces for my liking. That being said I realise the helicopter is obviously filler and a more substantial model would have pushed the price up, so I'm happy with the way things are. Quote
K-Nut Posted April 6, 2012 Posted April 6, 2012 Wait, this Saturday? I thought the sets weren't supposed to ship until the 8th? I got the shipping notice a few days ago with the arrival date of Saturday. I know Target doesn't ship until the 8th, though. Quote

Please use proper capitalization. It's obvious your shift key DOES work, use it, please. Quote
moop Posted April 9, 2012 Posted April 9, 2012 (edited) I just picked my set up and I gotta say it is spectacular! Of course Wolvie masked would've been stellar and the only true complaint I have is that the motorcycle is sort of plain. They should've used the fairing from the Indy set http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=85983pb01 , otherwise just an amazing little set. Edited April 9, 2012 by moop Quote
SpiralSJ Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 (edited) Haha love this set! I got mine a month ago but haven't fixed it yet cos' I've run out of shelf space. Really wanna get the Quinjet soon. Really hoping to see more Xmen-centric sets in future! Storm, Gambit, Beast, Nightcrawler, Juggernaut, and hopefully a masked Wolverine! Edited July 20, 2012 by SpiralSJ Quote
legomr Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 Very good and informative review. I'm not too sure if I like the set itself. I always thought they should have created a new mould for Wolverine's hands so that his claws are directly connected to the hands and he can still hold something else. Quote
sologuy369 Posted July 22, 2012 Posted July 22, 2012 Nice review! What is the circle platform Memento stands on? I have been trying to figure this out. Quote
TheLegoJoker Posted July 22, 2012 Posted July 22, 2012 Memento? LOL. Gotta love autocorrect. Magneto stands on a 2x2 round plate. Quote
Spider-Man Posted July 22, 2012 Posted July 22, 2012 Nice review! What is the circle platform Memento stands on? I have been trying to figure this out. It is supposed to be a metal plate for him to fly on, but most comics just have Magneto fly by manipulating the magnetic fields around the planet so it is more of just for show I think. Quote
TheLegoJoker Posted July 22, 2012 Posted July 22, 2012 Oh, he meant what is it supposed to be, not what the piece itself actually is? HAHAHA!! I feel silly. As Spidey here pointed out, it's a "metal" plate. I also don't recall seeing any comic images where he uses one, but it could be an nod to X-Men 2 when Magneto fashioned a round metal disc to stand on as he made his escape from his plastic prison.

After what you guys said, I looked at the picture and saw that it is a hover plate thing. Thanks! Quote
