I was doing some browsing on eBay when I saw some Chinese knock-offs of lego Super Heroes figures. A lot of them were based on unreleased characters. Here are some of them: What do you guys think about knockoffs in general?

Not sure why they made a new hairpiece for the 12th Doctor. Capaldi's hairline doesn't look like that.

Old one looks so much better IMO.

Which do you think are the best versions of Star Wars minifigs so far? I'll start us off with one. Luke: The 2011 version of Luke is my favourite mainly because of the new one's awful face printing.

I'm disappointed. I was hoping for a big impressive display piece. This just seems too much like an oversized playset to justify the $700 it would cost in New Zealand. Hopefully the minifigs won't cost too much on the aftermarket.

Can someone explain the difference between the old and new capes?

How do you plan to actually make the game?

So I'm guessing they're no longer moulding toes or pants so they can reuse the mould for other bigfigs. I see why they did it but I can't say I like it. I'm also not too big on the printed details on the pants.

They could be going for a Winter Soldier Black Widow.

What if LEGO is making sets based on Civil War?

A petition isn't going to do anything. The people at LEGO know what they're doing, they're not going to change their minds because of 10,000 signatures.

I don't see this set having many figures. Maybe a stealth suit Captain America, Black Widow, and Nick Fury.

I like this set a lot.

While this is interesting, we shouldn't assume that it's the Helicarrier. It could be any number of other things.

I have no intention of buying it. I'm just not happy that it was chosen instead of a project I would have preferred..

That's not why I personally dislike the show. It's for the reasons talked about in this article: http://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/tvandradioblog/2014/apr/03/the-big-bang-theory-season-7-e4

I am really not happy about this choice. I think The Big Bang Theory is a terrible show and a really boring idea for an Ideas project.

Hi everyone. I've just started thinking about compiling a small collection of Iron Legion suits, like the Gemini and the Shotgun. I thought some of you might have good ideas for mostly purist (some painting or decaying is possible if necessary) armours. To start us off, my idea for a purist Iron Patriot for those like me outside the US. Captain America torso, Iron Man helmet, War Machine visor/mask. (Credit to Hulk_Smash for the photo.) What have you guys got? P.S. Could a moderator please delete my other post with the trimmed title? I didn't realise there was a limit.

He said "two Amazing Spiderman 2 polybags".

I really like your Sinister, but I'm not sure on the torso for Gambit. I don't like using torsos backwards because of the shoulder-blade printing.

I'd prefer something larger but flatter. Maybe not quite minifig scale, but more close to movie accurate proportions.

This seems like a good opportunity for LEGO to release all the figures that we couldn't get because there was no Winter Soldier wave of sets. I'm thinking Fury, Hill, Stealth Suit Cap, Black Widow, Falcon, Winter Soldier, and some SHIELD agents.

The topic of skin-tone has come up a few times. It basically comes down to personal preference; whether you prefer the more accurate flesh tones, or the more iconic classic-LEGO yellow. I myself am a flesh tone guy, but I can see the appeal of yellow too. There's also a wider range of heads and torsos for yellow purist customs.

As a New Zealander, I'm dreading having to get ahold of the UCS Helicarrier. What would be the cheapest way?
