I'm glad to help; those prices come from the systems of a major US retailer, so I'm completely certain of their accuracy. I think that the Sanctum is 1004 pieces, but I would need to check back to be totally certain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SpiderJazz Posted January 14, 2018 By the way guys, for all of those who pmed me (IT'S ALOT) let me know if you are able to receive the HD set images. 1 minute ago, FortNerd said: Do we know how much the Sanctum is gonna cost?

Alberto Brick Posted January 14, 2018 Iron Man "without bust" is not the only mystery. Remember the head of the Hulkbuster published by Afro Man at the beginning of December? It is different from the one used in the set. Maybe they're both fake. It's strange though, because the minifigure looks original ... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
agoodfella77 Posted January 14, 2018 Btw, RIP to all of those who kept saying that the figure in the bright orange torso wasn't Shuri and was a fig from the Han Solo set... man, I've known this since last month but people just refused to believe because some random Star Wars blogger said it was...

SEmrys Posted January 14, 2018 As a long-time comic fan I've been wanting to get into the superhero themes for a while, and after seeing these sets (and everyone's reaction) I can see I'm also in the minority when it comes to my opinion of them. Don't get me wrong; the Hulkbuster, (Doc Strange's half of) the Sanctum and the Last Battle sets look cool, but overall, I feel like LEGO don't mine the superhero genre as much as they could. With 70+ years of comics at their disposal, why not go a little bit more crazy with it? Also, with regards to these sets, where's the best jumping on point if the best ones (The Milano ships) get re-made every couple'a years? Sorry for being a downer, guys, just seeing these photos encouraged me to voice my thoughts. (Also, I don't think I've posted in the superhero section before, so Hi everyone!)

DrasticPlastic Posted January 14, 2018 These new sets are a mixed bag, the sanctum might be an instant classic worthy of addition to a modular line up and the hulk buster looks fun... ...the rest...dear me! Lego dropped the ball there. With the exception of Spider-Man, the figures are all rather bland. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How is that different than, say, Star Wars? How many versions of the Falcon or the X-Wing have we had? Some ships are iconic to their lines (Quinjet and Milano being the obvious ones for the MCU). I love the fact that we get variant versions, but to each their own I suppose. Actually with Disney purchasing Fox, I hope we get the Fantastic Four and the Fantasticar at some point.

Oh, don't get me wrong, Star Wars does the same, but Star Wars also has a decade or so headstart, so you have all the other ships as well. That part was more a 'how do I know which Milano/Quinjet/etc to go for?', I'm fine with variants of a product, as long as that's not the only product that ever grabs my attention. But outside of the Milano/Quinjet etc., I feel like the theme is lacking all the (to use your example) Fantasticars or Avenger's Mansions or Asgardian realms, if you know what I mean? I would, personally, get more enjoyment out of them than say, a third of an arena from Ragnarok or a random escape pod from Infinity War. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The thing is that you (and a lot of old skool comic readers) are sadly a minority. Superheroes are nowadays more a movie and cartoons sort of thing. You can read in this thread even the complaints about figs not being movieaccurate enough. But if it wasn’t like this we wouldn’t have superheroes being this popular at all. I think the sanctum is awesome. Regardless on what marvel universe it’s based off. I also buy bootlegfigs to crave the hunger for more comicbased stuff. Especially the more classic looks of the superheroes. There are a lot of fine enough bootlegs that keep me interested in the superheroes line, as i am not a movie universe fan (even though i love those movies) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm a big fan of these films as well as the comics. I just don't think there is enough memorable content in them to adapt into LEGO form; hence why we only get a couple of sets for the smaller films like Homecoming, Ragnarok and Panther. In fact, I generally like the movie minfigures more than the standard, more comic-book-y ones. It's just the builds themselves I think can be lacking. It would be great if they could make supplementary sets based off comics to coincide with the movies to bulk up the line (like the X-Men sets we got a couple of years ago).

Dharkan Posted January 14, 2018 (edited) Milano and the little ship look like they can be combined, which is neat. Though I'm still not okay with the proportions. First Milano still reigns supreme. My buying order will probably be like: Sanctum Sanctorum (if I can afford it) Set with the little Groot Hulkbuster Milano (if I can afford it) Also, original Thanos bigfig look way better than the new one. I'll just take his gauntlet and put it on the original. Edited January 14, 2018 by Dharkan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheBrickBuilder14 Posted January 14, 2018 Does anyone know if the Sanctum set is designed by the same designer who did the bridge set? Because for me these are definitely among the best superhero sets Lego has ever released (purely in terms of the build). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh, man, I like your idea! ? It seems strange to me that pieces of an exclusive set have been leaked, so soon, but if they are original, I do not see any other explanation. A new armor room is so exciting! Lego has decided to close the narrative arc of IronMan in the best way. This looks like the best Marvel wave ever Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mark 46? or Mark 43? It's the armor next to Prodigal Son. Mark 46 is from Civil War. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
badchriss Posted January 14, 2018 Oh i really love most of those Infinity War Sets,and my favorite being the Sanctum Sanctorum Set.It may be a bit pricey but sure looks like it will be worth it. The fun Thing is that it reminds me of a MOC i made last Summer utilizing the Parts of the Spiderman Homecoming Set :D....My MOC and the new Sanctum Sanctorum will definetly be good Neighbors... Homecoming Bank MOC... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kizmoz Posted January 14, 2018 There's defiantly gotta be more to come from the Infinity War sets... There's still a small roster of characters missing... Drax Loki Hulk (even though we have another Banner) Scarlet Witch Winter Soldier Nebula Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GalacticHippo Posted January 14, 2018 Wow - I only have a few Marvel Lego sets but the Sanctorum and GOTG ship look fantastic. This wave might end up getting me into collecting more Marvel...

In the official description Mario posted last week for the Ultimate Battle, it’s called the Milano. These descriptions also told specific measurements, so I’d think they’re truthful.
