  1. The BTAS Wall art looks great, but there are several things that bug me about it.

    1. Minfigures: for a $300 dollar set that only has 4 figures, all the figures should be CMF quality.

    2. Stickers: for the price they should all be prints.

    3. What we could have gotten: this cost about as much as a Ninjago City modular and I would rather have Gotham City in that style.


  2. The new blackbird is an improvement over the old (which I own), but the price is to high ( I will wait for a discount). The only other set I like is the War Machine Mech, which made me think, wouldn't it be cool if Lego made a Sentinel Mech, with a Sentinel minifigure and a big Sentinel body.

    Would love to see a pic of the back of the castle when closed.  From the pic showing the back of the open castle, there is a section in the middle that looks like the outside of the castle.  This makes me think the outsides fold in, but do not quite meet in the middle on the back.

    watch the last video to see the courtyard.

  4. Here are my thoughts on the Sanctum:

    Build: after finding the concept art for the building, which I think was used in Doctor Strange 1, the build looks fine and so does the interior.

    Minifigures: here is were I have a problem with the set, the minifigure are ok at best.

    Ironman's fine but I don't think he should be in this set.

    Spiderman, same opinion as Ironman.

    Ebony Maw, while they got his skin, face and shirt right, no leg printing and no hair make him look unfinished.

    Mordo, looks unfinished, should have had dual molded black and Sand Green legs with printing.

    Dead Strange, eyes should be very light blue or grey, needs a cape of the Damned and a different hair piece. note: color in the movie makes his outfit look Black and Red (which I prefer) but I have seen pictures of his outfit being dark blue and Red.

    Wong, needs leg printing and hair.

    Scarlet Witch, needs leg printing and a new hair Tiara mold (the current one is terrible when compared to old crown hair pieces).

    Doctor Strange, looks fine.

    Sinister Strange, needs a different hair piece.

    One of the things that bugs me about this set is lego was at first going to charge $210-$220 for this set, then changed it to $250, for $250 This set should not have minifigures that look unfinished.


  5. I have been trying to figure out ways to improve the minifigures, here's what I have com up with so far:

    Dead Strange/ Zombie Strange: 

    Outrider Arms and back piece, with a bunch of arms added

    Doctor Strange Hair

  6. My thoughts on the Sanctum minifigs so far:

    Zombie Strange: the suit looks fine but the skin color throws it of, his skin should have looked more like this

    , I hope he comes with his cape of the Damned.

    Wong: looks ok, but I hope he has leg printing and hair like the last 2 Wongs.

    Sinister Strange: this one looks fine to me.

    MoM Strange: probably the same as the one in the Gargantos set, which looked fine.

    Spiderman: looks good.

    Ebony Maw: ok, needs leg printing and hair.

    P.S. I kind of wished they replaced Iron man and Ebony Maw with villains from NWH (Green Goblin, Sandman, Lizard, Electro, Doc Ock) or the 2 other Spider Men.

    I'm low key kinda surprised the sub line for children that doesn't have any tie-in media isn't based on that series of prequel books they're doing or the Twitter novella if that's still a thing (I've been out of the loop for a few years now). 

     

    Anyway, is the rumored 2022 Ninjago City set actually happening?

    My guess is people thought Monkie Kid Lantern City was part of Ninjago City, because it is similar in design.
