    Marvel Superheroes 2024 - Rumors & Discussion

    Would love a Ronin and Iron Patriot Mk!!. low chance, but hoping we get Skurge with the Surtur battle, unlikely, but would be awesome. Don't expect him to have Des and Troy he got in Tex megablocks if they do make him.

    Find it almost funny that I log in today and read the comments above. I rewatched CA: TFA last night and thought to myself there are a few great sets to be made of that movie, yet. The transformation chamber The taxi from the chase scene following CAs transformation Hydra Train Red Skull's ride - would love this more than another Batmobile Howard Stark's plane, at a stretch There are also a ton of characters that have not appeared in minifig form yet either. Howling Commandos, Arnim Zola, Phillips, Erskine, Howard Stark This got me thinking, what is it about SW sets that drives people to buy them. I knew what tie fighters and x-wings were long before I saw any of the SW movies (sorry, but Star Wars is really not my scene). There are some sets that I have heard were base off a few seconds of screen time. Then I realised, it's the fact that SW has been around for so long that it is part of our culture. I wonder if we will end up getting sets in 20 years' time that will be considered iconic that we don't consider as such today. As for wish list, I really hope we do get a UCS Avengers Compound. Before the Punisher minifig released I would have thought it wishful thinking, but with some of the sets that have been released over the past three years, I think it may happen down the track. Would also buy anything related to Daredevil as he is my favourite character. Oscorp and Baxter buildings would be cool too.

    Highly unlikely you'll be paying $50 in the US. I've preordered it from Mightyape and it is NZD$48. My guess would be USD$30 - USD$35 based on price conversions of other sets. Personally, really happy to be getting a new Iron-Man suit, especially a comic one at that.

    For me there is a fine line between between letting too much out of the bag, and dropping hints to get people interested. Personally, I think that they should have released at least a couple of accurate NWH tie-in sets. I am quite happy waiting for sets if it means some other folk got to enjoy their movie experience more, but feel we could have received at least some of the the villains that appeared in the trailer. I do get a kick out of being surprised by movie appearances that I didn't see coming. I don't do social media, and I don't view websites other than tech companies and LEGO, so it is really easy for me to avoid spoilers. This meant that I wasn't aware of some of the appearances in NWH, other than those that were dropped here (wouldn't have known about AG or TM otherwise) and showed up in the trailer. I now skip the eurobrick threads until after movies have released, and only browse for admin posts, @Scarilian's updated list posts, or comments from FalconFan. There are two sides to every coin, some of us just like not knowing anything about movie before we watch it, some people don't mind knowing a little about the movie, and other people don't seem to mind knowing everything about the movie. Agree with this. They could have done at least some accurate sets with GG and DO, and then released a second wave down the track with AG SM/TM SM/Lizard/Electro etc.

    Yeah, I ordered my Eternals sets straight from LEGO, and have resorted to that for a few of the new releases, including the Daily Bugle and the FRIENDS apartment sets. I normally also get a discount from Toyworld, but they aren't getting the stock down here for the sets I'm interested in at this stage, which is why I have been going to LEGO directly. My minifigs arrive this coming week, also have a box on pre-order. Haven't shopped at Toyco in a couple of years now.

    I've been going into Toyworld weekly. Just saw a few minutes before that Toyco had them in stock, so should have mine in a day or two. Also pre-ordered a box, so will let you know the distribution. I also wish that they included less of the what if characters, though I wouldn't have minded as much if they included The Collector. Really want a Agatha Harkness minifig I'd love any of these characters in any form, but also prefer when they are closer to comics than the movies. I have the 2015 Winter Soldier, but I had always assumed him to be Winter Soldier based, specifically at the end of the car chase scene. Learnt something new reading your post

    I also BrickLinked the pieces I needed, which were only about a dozen in total, so built the 89 GWP. Have both '66 batmobiles, the 89, the new small tumbler and the Batfleckmobile all lined up in my display cabinet. Just waiting on the The Batman to round out the collection. @Moon_Knight - nice!

    I like your choice. Mine would be; Lady Blackhawk, Hawk and Dove, Dark Archer, Zatanna As far as The Batman wave is concerned, overall very happy with it. I'll be getting most of the sets day 1, with the exception of the Selina Kyle chase as there are no exclusive characters.

    Sure, might be a badly kept secret, but one I still wouldn't have spoilt if it hadn't been for people not using spoiler tags. I have no issues whatsoever with it being discussed at all, but come on, spoiler tags exist for a reason, and that is what those of us that don't like spoilers have always said Exactly! Some of us don't spend time trying to find out about a movie we are going to watch before it comes out. Wouldn't have been the case if people followed the rules to begin with, so the point you are trying to make is moot...

    Still annoyed about inconsiderate people "blurting" it out on this forum. I avoid the internet (I only visit bookmarked tech/LEGO sties), so if it hadn't been for some inconsiderate individuals on here it would have bee a great surprise when watching the movie/trailer. Going forward I'll just avoid this site as well when the next big Marvel movie comes up for release. Not sure why it is so hard for some individuals to understand that some of use want to know about the leaks for budget reasons and get far more enjoyment from a movie that we haven't seen yet. I now skip so many pages trying to avoid leaks that I might just as well not bother with this thread anymore.

    Can you put that in spoiler tags. I don't want to know what might happen in a trailer. You continuously seem to miss this point

    Marvel Superheroes 2021 - Rumors & Discussion

    Exactly! I make sure I watch everything I care about before I visit these forums because of the number of inconsiderate individuals blurting out details I want to discover for myself. Won't be on here until after I've watched BW tomorrow night.

    Vey well analysed. This has already been my most expensive Marvel year to date, and it it's not letting up.

    I don't see your point. 50 minutes is a lot of time out of the day for those of us that work and have young kids. Don't follow other media, so your second comment is also redundancy. I guess I can see why it is easy for someone without other responsibilities to assume that everyone has time to drop everything in life when an episode comes out, but that is not the way the world works when you grow up. This probably wouldn't even have been a point of discussion if people that have time to follow others on sm had the extra three seconds available to use spoiler tags. Thank you!
