    Stoked on the Winter Soldier fig!

    I know it's off topic but if we look at by the time Civil War comes out, the following 'good' characters will be in play in the MCU (excluding all the Spidey speculation). Ones we have or are getting figs for are in bold.

    Iron Man

    Captain America

    Black Widow

    Thor

    Hulk

    Hawkeye

    Falcon

    Iron Patriot

    Quicksilver

    Scarlet Witch

    The Vision

    Ant Man

    Mockingbird

    Sif

    Daisy Johnson

    Daredevil

    Stick

    **Possibly in time - Jessica Jones, T'Chaka/T'Challa (AoU cameo?)

    I haven't included GoTG because I can't see them getting to Earth before GoTG2 if ever.

    Says? the movie versions are the only versions i like

    That's funny cause I'm the opposite, I much prefer comic versions to the film versions, I was so stoked with Falcon.

    I really, really hope that with Marvel's continued success we see battle packs down the road like they do with Star Wars - SHIELD, HYDRA, AIM, oh man that would great.

    I read in an interview recently with James Gunn (GoTG Director) where he said the following which made me think about why not set pics yet.

    “While we were still shooting the movie, I brought up putting Dancing Baby Groot out as a toy,” he said. “The reason it didn’t happen is because you have some control in the film industry over secrets getting out there, but the people you don’t have much control over are the toy people, unfortunately. Those toy designs get out, always! And people definitely would have gotten ahold of the Baby Groot if we had started manufacturing it in time for it to come out after the movie, so that was the biggest reason we didn’t push on that particular element.”

    Makes sense that Marvel would try and keep TLG from releasing any information that could potentially be plot spoilers for AoU for as long as possible, well... it's a thought?

    I wonder if we'll get the Collector after all, then? We're getting the supposedly exclusive Rocket variant, and DC's getting Green Arrow in the next wave. Maybe the exclusives aren't quite as exclusive as they said?

    I really hope so, The Collector is the only Marvel villain I'm missing from my 'collection'.

    Just to clarify, Andrew Garfield has another movie in his contract still.

    There's been a lot of speculation about Sony working out a deal with Marvel for Spidey to start appearing in MCU films, here's hoping that's true so we can have Civil War!

    Having missed the release of both ASM2 at theatres, and then the subsequent DVD/BD release... It does make you wonder how long TLG has had a warehouse full of these poly's for? They must be like 'ok now we need to get rid of them' - send them out to the Cons etc.

    Like has already been mentioned a couple of times I can see these being one of the spend $50 and get a fig S@H/Lego Store deals.

    Weird haven't seen that poly before, legit?

    Kevin Feige has said they only take inspiration from the comics to create their own take. They are as close to killing of Cap as they are Loki.

    For sure, although with Chris Evans having two films left on his contract (AoU, Cap2) and Sebastian Stan having like seven to go... Plus the introduction of Crossbones in Cap2 which btw was a huge missed minifig opportunity I can see them possibly killing Steve Rogers off.

    Anyways sorry for going so far off topic.

    But he's not in the film...?

    Well he was in Cap1 like this:

    Cap2 like this...

    And with his character being such a big part of Civil War and The Death of Captain America comics (which is where the films look to be heading) I imagine he'll make an appearance in robot form, which when you look at how he looks in the comics they got pretty spot on in the game.

    HYDRA's apparent significance in AoU (as hinted by the Pietro/Wanda teaser at the end of Cap2) combined with the fact a) Like previously mentioned TLG hasn't made any Cap movie sets yet, and b) Major AoU characters like She-Hulk, Emma Frost, Wolverine, Luke Cage etc won't be appearing in the film have me hoping for the Zola robot fig.
