    Marvel Superheroes 2021 - Rumors & Discussion

    Please remember that this is a Lego discussion thread not an MCU news thread. We've not had to deal with Marvel movie spoilers for a while now (for obvious reasons), so I think we could all use a refresher as these shows and films start to pickup steam: this thread is for Lego Marvel discussion first and foremost. With that comes the acknowledged urge to talk about the source material; however that's not the purpose for this thread. We have many many members and guests dropping into this thread, and myself and the other Licensed moderators ask that you be respectful and mindful of spoilers because of that--when people click on this thread they expect to see Lego discussion, not the plot points to the ending of Endgame. If you feel it is necessary/relevant to discuss MCU plot or news (like castings or otherwise) please use spoiler tags. There's an easy to click button right up top when typing up your comment, it takes two seconds. Please use that for any suspicious material. You know that that material is, because you know as MCU fans when something is "HUGE" and a big deal. Use spoiler tags please. BUT also please first consider if that non-Lego MCU news even needs to be discussed here in the first place. This is about Lego Marvel. So before you post, please ask yourself if this MCU topic you bring up is truly relevant now to Lego Marvel. Thanks!

    What even is this wave? I like all the components, but as a single wave I think this stuff will look rather crazy on the shelves. But I’m highly impressed by the variety the HP wave is bringing for a licensed theme (compared to others). But now I just have to make my own giant figures! More flesh colored pieces please! Bit surprised they didn’t throw in extra pieces to make a Ron head though, like the buildable minions that were “build 2” but contained the option to build a third character with an extra set.

    @Mattallica @Guyon2002 Saying someone’s opinion is factually untrue is not really appropriate. Someone stating they have a different opinion than you does not constitute personal attack. So play politely you two or you won’t have the option to play at all.

    Guys, stick to Harry Potter. Looney Toons is not Harry Potter. I’m getting way too many reports coming out of this thread. Stay on topic!

    DC Superheroes 2021 - Rumors & Discussion

    Boo! Boo I say! Make something NEW DC Lego! Why do I even bother with you?! Don’t just make a better version of an overpriced questionably designed Batmobile I already bought, just so I can buy it again (for reasons?) Also please continue to not bother making more accurate minifigures when given the opportunity to do so, I love that you continue to give every Batman figure white eyes, especially for the SECOND 66 Batman, white eyes for which he is most known for, and not those slightly less iconic holes cut in his cowl which constantly shifted during episodes so as to hilariously clearly obstruct his vision. Internet—wake me up when we start getting DC sets again that don’t include Batman, Joker, and 4 to 8 tires. Sorry. I just can’t with this theme anymore.

    There really is no need to discuss/argue about the film in this thread, because we don’t have any new sets to go along with it. This thread is for Lego set discussion—if you want to discuss the actual film, please take that over to Culture & Multimedia. Thanks!

    Pink just indicates self-designation as a dignified Lady of Eurobricks. Of course no one has higher authority than me! Continue to believe that until one of higher authority than me comes over here and says otherwise.

    Harry Potter 2021 - Rumors & Discussion

    Please keep this topic on topic. I don’t see how discussing Star Wars films and which actor is a bigger box office draw has anything to do with Lego Harry Potter. Stick to Lego Harry Potter please. Thank you!

    DC Superheroes 2021 - Rumors & Discussion

    This barely-on-topic rating discussion doesn’t seem necessary or particularly relevant at the moment. The film has been significantly pushed back, so if we are getting any sets based on it we won’t be seeing them anytime soon, if at all in 2021. I don’t see the need to argue about the film’s rating (which we also won’t get/know) until next year, right now. Also, obviously PG-13! Come on guys—DC needs to sell that Bat-Merch!

    PRESS RELEASE: 10276 – LEGO® Colosseum

    I’m closing this thread, as clearly the original point of this thread has concluded and the “discussion” now is entirely off topic.
  17. Absolutely stunning! I couldn't help but audibly gasp numerous times while scrolling through these photos! There's so much character and style infused with this build and it makes every inch all the more mesmerizing. I love how dense the build feels, there's a visual weight to it (and presumably an actual weight! ) that just gives you the sense this is a real place, it actually exists, and all of these characters live here and can go anywhere because it's a fully realized location. The depth is also impressive--there's so much to explore from the shoreline to the deepest caves. And the quality throughout all of it is consistently amazing. I could mumble on forever after staring at it for an eternity, but my favorite bits are the the gorgeous waterfalls constructed in such an inspired way, and the breath of fresh air decision to include a comparatively plain rolling green hill between the Sanctuary and Rosalyn's. Just top notch composition on this thing! An Elvendale masterpiece! Great job!

    Well I’m glad that you respect me—so I hope you would also show other Eurobricks members enough respect to not use such language or to be so genuinely rude. That is if you would like to remain on Eurobricks... Let’s be civil everyone. Thanks!

    Yeah, no...let’s not go back to posting fake “rumors”. Or impersonating people. Move along please—don’t give it the time of day.

    Those are customs, not official unreleased pieces. They do look nice though.

    MOC - The Lair of the Green Goblin

    The Lair of the Green Goblin Hidden within the dark rafters of Osborn Manor is the devious home of the twisted Green Goblin! Here, in this "renovated" open-concept attic space, the Green Goblin can plan out his attacks on Spider-Man. Upon discovering the true secret identity of his web-crawling nemesis, Spider-Man, to be that of his son's best friend--Peter Parker--Norman Osborn (the alternate identity of the Green Goblin) is overtaken by rage! With the Goublin-Green formula racing through his veins, Norman pushes through the hidden mirror door and claws his way though the rafters; all while his hideous transformation takes hold. Tearing off his human form and applying his emerald armored skin, the Green Goblin emerges--to destroy not only Spider-Man...but Peter Parker too! With this build, I really wanted to show not only the home of Spider-Man's greatest enemy, but the transformation and creation of that enemy. This included showing not only the Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde inspired transformation scenes, but also the process of fully becoming the Green Goblin through the creation of his pumpkin bombs, various suits, and his iconic glider. Also, this is the first time I've used multiple minifigures in one build to depict one character throughout multiple scenes--and while it meant that I had to end up buying a bunch of extra goblins!--I think it turned out well. Interestingly the build is read right to left; the bottom half shows the creation on the equipment, while the top half shows the creation of the man (or goblin as it were)...which was totally planned from the start ( ) which is why it works so well. Not a coincidence at all. As I build primarily for canceled conventions now, I made sure with this build to cover every side and every face with as much detail as possible. Partly because I'm normally, generally, embarrassed by how basic my stuff seems at public conventions. Everyone builds way more detail than me! That's not a joke, I do feel my stuff is sometimes boring. But not this I say! Yes that is a hidden Venom reference! --- So anywho--thanks for checking this out! It was a rather fun build to put together.

    I did not get any email, just I think some confirmation note when the page updated--that must been where I got the five days from (as I cannot find that anywhere now). I did submit from desktop.

    I was able to submit a request for the Supergirl raffle (submission link here) --but apparently you won't know if you've won one for like 5 ish days? And I picked up the Wonder Woman set too, for fun. But as noted by others, it won't ship until October. I did receive an "out of stock" email too, after ordering (which now says shipping in 60 days).
