LEGO Superheroes 2012 Rumours & Discussion

[Sam892]

What a shame about Venom A lot of people would have liked to have him in a set I'm sure. He is one of the most famous Marvel villains. Hopefully this is one that TLG will put in a set like they did with Superman!

It doesn't mean that we won't be getting them in future sets. One of out of the three exclusives last year was the same Superman as we got in the first wave. Also Venom and Phoinix may be different variants than what Lego will release later on. An example may be that the exculsive Phionix may be in her dark red outfit but may be released next year in her green outfit. That's what happened with last years Batman.

I can't wait to see next years line up on Friday. Hopefully they show some of the Sets and not just the figures. I'm thinking that they may change up Batmans design as that's what they did last time. Hopefully we will see the theme expand a lot more after the success it had this year.

How many times have we had to say it? Lego said they aren't producing any TDKR LEGO sets!

No, actually, they said this for DC:

LEGO Super Heroes: DC Universe TM adventures soar to new heights with the public debut of 2013 LEGO Super Heroes minifigures.

And this for Marvel:

LEGO Super Heroes: MARVEL sets and buildable action figures bring scenes of great Marvel characters such as the Avengers, Spider-Man and X-Men to life, in addition to new characters unveiled for the first time in their 2013 LEGO MARVEL Super Heroes minifigure form.

They are only unveiling minifigures, not sets. The Avengers, Spider-man, and X-Men sets are probably just referring to the ones we got (or are getting in Spidey's case) this year.

Thanks.

Yes, that's right IMO.

[Spider-Man]

I am just excited to see what minifigures they will show I am going to be crossing my fingers for some Iron Man 3 stuff, and some more characters from the Ultimate Me cartoon on Disney. Nova, White Tiger, Luke Cage, Iron Spider, Nick Fury, Dr. Doom, and maybe even a macrofig Venom As of now it is just a pipe dream but hopefully some of it will be possible!

Umm... Ironman 3 has barely begun production.

[Spider-Man]

They still know what characters will be in it They said they are releasing minifigs not sets so I don't see a problem there. Atleast they can put out a War Machine and any previous Iron Man suits that are shown in some screen shots from the films set.

They could probably display a War Machine and Pepper figure, but I doughnut think they'll have a lot of Iron Man 3 stuff.

On the other hand, I think they'll have a Nick Fury figure and maybe some more X-Men figures.

Production has been going on. Filming has just started .

Um, except for the fact that it clearly says 2013. How exactly does a set that comes out in less than 2 weeks qualify as a 2013 set?

All that is saying is what the line has accomplished so far. They will be showing the current sets AND the new 2013 minifigures/sets.

I'm guessing most of the marvel figures they show will revolve around the X-men and Spider-man sets with maybe some figures around Fantastic Four and other franchises. They may have one or two Avengers figs but they will most likely be from the Avengers movie or previous films. We haven't seen anything really from the set photos that we haven't all ready seen ( apart from iron patriot but that was leaked) Lego will most likely not be allowed to show of anything that gives any plot points. I'm hoping for Cyclops, Nightcrawler, Sabretooth, Toad and Juggernaut oh and all other X-men characters..... What too much?

[Cammo]

I hope they will show some more Batman villains:

Hopefully updated version of:

Mr Freeze

Penguin

Killer Croc

On top of that I would like to see:

Clayface

commissioner Gordon

(Nightwing)

Not asking much.. Only 1 new mold for Clayface's Face.

I think we'll definitely see Mr. Freeze, Penguin and Killer Croc. Those are pretty iconic. For new figures, we will most likely see Clayface, as LEGO will put out a detailed mold for his head to impress us.

[Spider-Man]

Clayface would just be Seeing the more and more complex molds they come up with I don't think that is out of the realm of possibility at all! Thanks for reminding me of him

[Mr. Elijah Timms]

There's so much speculation about exactly "who" we'll see tomorrow, and really it could be pretty much anyone.

But make no mistake: on Friday we'll see X-Men minifigs for the first time (Wolverine notwithstanding of course. He really transcends the X franchise anyway). As far as who... My money's on Cyclops, Storm, Nightcrawler, and maybe Rogue and/or Gambit. I've never liked LeBeau, but he's a favorite. If it were up to me we'd get Colossus!! (crosses fingers)

If they would follow the videogame version of Clayface. They would only have to make a mold similar to Spongebob or Bombur.

Well... We will find out soon enough. Just received the Batmobile and Batcave set in the mail today. I can admire those sets for now

[King of Nynrah]

Can't wait to see the new stuff tomorrow! It's a shame I can't be there in person.

Most likely not, but I really hope so. Sometimes previews are leaked overnight though...

[Parrothead Rasmus]

Sorry if this is the wrong place/wrong time to ask this, but is there any possibility that we may get a Dark Knight Rises set?

It doesn't look like it, no.

I'm dying with anticipation

Kind of bummed about Phoenix and Venom though..
