Where can I find "xinh 543" and Dr. Who sets listed / announced? I don't recall seeing these, and can't find it in the usual places. Thanks!

Sure thing. It's nothing too unique, though. I pretty much just replaced the red pieces in the Hulkbuster with dark blue grey pieces. I couldn't figure out how to do the head piece justice, so I put a solid canopy piece on the back, and just left Obadiah Stane exposed. He's created from one of the Ant-Man sets (OK1026) and a spare head that I had from somewhere (sorry, can't remember where).

SY "MK 2 Iron Patriot." If there wasn't an official set coming out with Detroit Steel, I probably would have gotten this and made a custom to go with my custom MCU Iron Monger.

Green Deadpool is probably supposed to be Deathwish, who's actually Victor Von Doom from Earth-11638. Actually, it's the character Solo from Deadpool's "Mercs for Money."

Never publicly weighed in on this, because it's not like I'm going to be convincing anyone one way or another, but customizers are still infringing on copyrights (Marvel, DC, Harry Potter, etc.), just not LEGO. If this is a black and white issue, customizers are still in the wrong, and Marvel could go after them justifiably for profiting off of their intellectual property. Naming a custom minifig "platinum dude who rides a surfboard" or "american captain" instead of Silver Surfer or Captain America isn't going to make an IP lawyer go "Oh, well in that case, all is forgiven." The only reason they're not targeted is because customizers are a cottage industry with tiny batch runs and therefore don't have deep pockets. What I'm trying to say is that I laugh at those who think they have the moral high ground and scoff at bootlegs but are totally fine purchasing customs. Both are in the wrong.

It's just a slightly fancier version of SY304. As an avid Iron Man fan, I bought that set to compliment the Hall of Armor and it just didn't fit with everything else. And no new suit? Definitely passing on this.

That Cap is 100% BossLogic's version of Captain Hydra.

Man, you are on top of all the new releases! Where do you find everything? Also, new costumes mean I'm picking it up. Hopefully each one will be available individually. At least the Spider-Mech one. And the Deadpool is new, also. It is Deadpool (Earth-5700).

OH COME ON!!! I've got like 8 holes remaining in my Hall of Armor and SY is releasing old ones AGAIN?

It's sarcasm. He's talking ironically that as soon as he orders the full set for the one big fig, it would be available single sale immediately after. This happened to me with the Abomination. I bought the set, and immediately the next day it was available for single sale. :/

I made a MOC black suit Spidey using a Venom minifigure and a Poppunkmunky head (only $3.30 + shipping). I also have a MOC Bombastic Bagman using a leftover Fantastic Four torso & legs plus an official brown bag piece for the head. If I could choose a set of the next 8 variants, it would be Captain Universe, 1602, 2211, Spider-Punk, SP//dr, Prince Arachne, wrestler, and AMP (Annie May Parker, Spidey's daughter). And I totally forgot about Spider-Ham, but now I DEFINITELY want that as well. (Can I include Gwenom and Gwenpool here, as well?)

While the quality of DLP is usually outstanding, it's LeyileBrick that's creating these customs. DLP is just taking their designs.

DLP9033. Spider-Man India, Cyborg Spider, Spider-Man (Bruce Banner - Earth 70105) The Spider-Man (Aaron Aikman), Spider Armor MK III, Devil-Spider, Scarlet Spider (Joe Wade), Secret War Spider-Man

Odd. The link is on the subreddit, but it's not listed, not even in NEW. It's there if you see CaptvirgilHilts' submissions. I didn't know an error like this was possible.

Batman America? The Dark Captain? The Shielded Crusader?

Anyone knows if the latest DLP Spider-Man set is being shipped out yet? I know they're selling on Ali, but I haven't seen any on eBay yet.

None of these are must haves, unfortunately. Iron Stan is OK, I guess. Probably wouldn't be aware of that character outside the LEGO game. Dargo released a comic Crossbones in the past that is pretty decent. SY's is probably better, at least quality wise. And I had to check to see who White Wolf was. I thought it was White Tiger at first glance. Unless they're charging $10 for this set, I'll pass and maybe pick them up if they're ever for sale individually.

Guys, I dunno if we should be talking about those. They look pretty official to me.

My guess is the light gray V shape on the chest and the abs decoration suggest the Mark XIV.

Same for me, as well. 95% of my visits to this site were to the bootleg thread. I occasionally checked the purist custom thread for inspiration, but that was it. If I looked for official announcements and/or leaks, it was easier to find them elsewhere than scores of pages of discussion about something that I ended up missing anyway.

I'm proof of this. I grew up with LEGOs, but haven't touched them since middle school. I'm in my late 30s now. I stumbled on a treasure trove of Iron Man customs/bootlegs/whatever accidentally one day. I was shocked at the price for a pack of 8, and thought I would collect a bunch and possibly make a hall of armor at some point. Then I saw a number of other Marvel customs, and decided to collect a few more Marvel characters. Next thing I know, I've got pretty much every Marvel bootleg/custom. After that, I started catching up on the official minifigs through retail stores or Bricklink. Once I was caught up on that, I started purchasing (non-bootleg) custom minifigs, and then moved on to making MOC Marvel minifigs based on leftover pieces and Bricklink orders. As of last count, I'm well over 300 minifigs. Here's my current collection. I never would have spent any money on official LEGO if not for the bootlegs. There's no way to know if I'm the exception or the rule, but bootlegs brought me back to LEGO after about 25 years.

THANK YOU! I've posted maybe 5-10 times and it's still been zero, but my first post here changed it to 1. Wasn't a big deal, but just wanted to make sure it wasn't an issue affecting more people. Thanks again!

Not sure where else to put this (I tried searching the forum, honest!), but my post count was reset (and doesn't increase when I make new posts) and my avatar was deleted. Anyone know how I can fix this? Thanks!

L to R, Top to bottom: Spider Armor MK III Spider-Man India Scarlet Spider (Joe Wade) Cyborg Spider Spider-Man (Bruce Banner - Earth 70105) Devil-Spider Secret War Spider-Man The Spider-Man (Aaron Aikman) STILL no (bootleg) Captain Universe Spider-Man OR Spider-Man 1602.

Wow. They didn't even change the name to 'The Sinpsons' or anything.
