Although it is very likely that if we do get Antman and the wasp set/ sets we will get the versions shown in the dlc there is still a possibility we will get different and new antman and wasp mini figures.

The designs of characters from Infinity War DLC are EXACTLY the same as from the sets. The designs for Ant-Man, Wasp and Ghost will be exactly ones we have seen in DLC. Or maybe worse.

History is terrible and should've ended years ago.

Um, pardon me, but, what exactly do you mean by that? :shrug_confused:

when is the infinity war dlc sets coming out?

Old rumor. There is no Infinity War D2C coming. Maybe we will get spoiler set for summer, but we don't know anything about more Infinity War sets.

Existential-based irony. If history ended years ago Rob would be unable to comment due to a crippling lack of existence.

I'm not really a fan of the theme myself either, not so much for its story (I've never watched the TV show), but for the line's very premise. Yes, the theme has had its share of sets which have caught my eye, but medieval ninjas flying around in modern fighter jets? :wacko:

Afbeeldingsresultaat voor imagination land      imagination bro, we need more of it :laugh:

Hey, I'm all for imagination, just as long as it has a clear focus. Fusing modern technology with medieval attire just seems a little too lazy to me, whereas designers could have equipped the ninjas with rides that utilized technologies more evocative of that time period. Or, visa versa, if you are going to have ninjas pilot fighter jets and cybernetic mechs, outfit them in suits both reflective of those technologies yet evocative of medieval Japanese garb.

My point was, it's all individual taste. I copied someone's sentence, but replaced "Ninjago" with "history". The original quote was "Ninjago is terrible and should have ended years ago." The writer then went on to talk about history and how interesting he found it to be. But I find history boring. I don't care about historical accuracy. It's all good, though. I was just trying to point out that hey, they're all just opinions.

Or maybe better. If you're going to allow for maybes, in direct contradiction to your previous sentence, at least be fair about it. Sheesh.

Lego isn’t cheap because of the size of the company, they actually have to design the sets for the licenses they bought, design the minifigs, the boxes, the marketing, everything. Customisers and bootleggers are taking a property they don’t own, a license they don’t own, the cheaply produced figures that are printed in the same style as Lego often come in solo sets with the same little build, in a box with a logo that suspiciously resembles Lego. The amount of work that Lego do that the knockoffs pilfer is staggering, which makes it all a vicious circle of rising costs.

Amen

It was kinda sarcasm. Lego didn't put any effort to Infinity War sets, so the same will happen to Ant-Man and The Wasp.

That's not sarcasm. It's cynicism.

Nope, I said pull other stuff from history, as in stuff from all time periods all around the world. I also think giving the vehicles a traditional Ninja era flair would be brilliant. Give the Ninjas some interesting and unique vehicles, not another futuristic jet/bike/tank with flame decals. 

Anyway, we should get back on topic.

Yes you should... There's too much reports from the Licensed forum these days and mods already asked nicely to stay on topic. Be nice guys, thanks.

I wouldnt say they didnt put any effort but the black panther one is extremely lazy , overpriced and only worth it for the minifigs.

I don't agree. I think not only the 30$ set is worth it, but also a great build, great play and display set, and has a good selection of minifigs.I do think there is a decline in the quality and care that is put in to the marvel super heroea line, something that can be espicially in the IW sets.

But that's a problem regarding all sets, not just the marvel's ones.

They'e started revealing merch for Antman and The Wasp, so fingers crossed we'll find out for sure if Lego is doing anything for the movie soon.

One retailer exclusive set. We should just wait, but we have seen 3 minifigs, and only Ghost is a great one. Ant-Man is okay because of the opened mouth, and I am not going to even talk about Wasp...

But is the build any good? What are we looking at? A playset? A vehicle? A building? And what about the price point and release date?

Are you confirming a retail exclusive set for Ant-Man and the Wasp?
