    Suprisingly his mask is the same height as Tahu's and the clips are at the same width, its just the width of the top and bottom pieces of the mask that make it seems a lot smaller than it really is. I guess the intention is to have a body builder sort of look to it by making the face look thinner and smaller. Apparently their might be a refrence to the Mask Of Creation in the episode 9 animation Though not sure how that fits into the Mask Of Creation being in the Jungle the last time we saw it in the animations

    In terms of the gold i think most people view it as empowering the sets, as such i understand the desire for less gold to represent the toa when they dont have their empowered state. In terms of Kopaka i personally wanted the white shoulders and chest piece instead of gold because its too much gold in a single area. As for Onua a similar situation occurs with the silver shoulder pads and hammer, compared to the gold dispersed everywhere else. Having the silver armour pieces would allow to disperse the silver colour throughout his set, even if the silver doesnt have as much as a eye-catching look to it. Regardless, Its all personal prefrence

    I know some people were talking about set accuracy of the Avengers Tower... i think its safe to say the scale is way off (Quinjet sized vehicle on the front...)

    The location and the figure style, plus the idea of him holding/hammering spider-man?

    Like the Winter Soldier polybag, its based on both the movie and a tv series. In this case its a mix between Spider-man 3, The Amazing Spider-man 2 and the Ultimate Spider-man series. I get the feeling its Lego's attempt to give us the figures that we missed from the original Raimi line-up. Indeed he does :3
  6. Scarilian
    Ah ok, will probably enquire about it tommorow.
  7. Scarilian
    Yeah, glad you are enjoying the set. Still not sure what you see in it other than Quick Silver and Strucker though :P Is that in the UK? If so then i'll be waiting for then also, help maximise the VIP points on my Ultron Army :3

    Despite the ensuing explosion of excitement from kevkipo when he see's the new pics, i unfortunately am going to have to pass on the Hydra Fortress. I just dont feel its worth the price for only two exclusive figures. Most of the main effort in that set went into the tank rather than the fortress... Will instead be putting that money towards some spare Iron Man Vs Ultron sets to help build an Ultron army, for the same price as the Fortress i can get 3 of the Iron Man Vs Ultron sets :3 Still available in the UK, once again, at the moment its only available when you order the Helicarrier. If the Helicarrier isnt included in the order then you dont get the Winter Soldier figure added.

    Not to cast doubt into this, but i doubt a Toy Fair representative would say anything other to the media other than things to incentivise people buying things. Though i would'nt worry as price drops and offers are natural and lowering the price actually encourages people to get duplicates of sets. Interesting you brought that up, actually working on exactly :PThough yeah, would love an official version eventually

    If we get a movie, i guess it would be after 2017. The animations will probably cover the story until 2017, after that if it continues we'll probably get a movie or a series. Personally i hope we get an animated movie in the current style...

    The Hydra Fortress Smash is an 'ok' looking set, but i think its an easy pass for me. Only Strucker and Quick Silver are really exclusive and i dont desire owning Strucker. If it was £5 more than the Hulkbuster set then i'd probably get it... but the price is too high for what it is. Quick Silver is alright i guess, felt he needs leg printing to match his upper costume. Baron Von Strucker is alright i suppose, not particularly a fan of the outfit, but i guess he may wear it in the film. The base (more likely outpost) seems way too tiny in terms of scale, could have really used another few towers. Most the pieces seem like they were given to the tank rather than the base As for the issue with Quick Silver, the legs on the movie version have side printing that helps differentiate them from being plain and makes them work with the rest of the suit;

    The sets themselves come to a total of $62.97 With 14 people bidding on that item and the price already being $75 (Not including shipping) this is already not worth getting, you'd be better off waiting till April or later when you get the Winter Soldier figure.
  13. Scarilian
    I think the closest to a Stan Lee figure we currently have is Professor Brainstein, only the moustache is a bit iffy, i believe you can still get the figure via 'Agent Stealth Patrol'

    Time we do not have unfortunately, if the Winter Soldier isnt released otherwise then the only way to get it in certain places offiically is to purchase the Helicarrier it in the next eight days. Everyone's a bit frantic because we have'nt got official confirmation on whether we get the promobag later... (Only place that does at the moment is North America) Yeah, i can see Winter Soldier getting a variant. Civil War would be the best time for it
  15. Scarilian
    So yeah, this confirms a North America release which will likely be in June; However i also noticed the following which seems to imply those who dont get the Helicarrier may miss out on the next VIP reward; Personally i think its rather insulting if they not only make the Winter Soldier an exclusive figure (only available with the Helicarrier in the UK), but once again punish people who dont buy it now by not letting them have access to the next VIP reward.
  16. Scarilian
    Yeah, that could work. Only material we have on Makuta lists him as 'The Mask Hoarder' so i'm guessing he has varying masks that allow him to have multiple different powers, one of these being (as you said) the Golden Skull Spider Mask, if it is indeed canon in the story
  17. Scarilian
    Its never been under question as to whether the USA will get it, its confirmed the USA get the Winter Soldier polybag in June. Its just the rest of the world that might have to get the Helicarrier to get it.
  18. Scarilian
    Essentially view him as in a coma, with his 'gold protector mask' being a device that keeps him alive. Atleast thats how i view it, the 'coffin' and 'mask' being more of a life support machine keeping him alive. Also, its playing on the advantage that we actually dont know what they require to live. We know that they can die, but we dont know the circumstances which cause them to die. For all we know they could be more robotic in terms of not requiring food or drink and yet still be able to grow and 'breed' somehow :P Alternatively the Golden Protector Mask is a new 'Mask Of Telepathy', though yeah, i would'nt be suprised if their is some 'magic' involved that makes Ekimu and Makuta virtually immortal unless they are killed by physical means... :3
  19. Scarilian
    Decided to call Lego and essentially got the following; 'At the moment its just an exclusive with the Helicarrier' I did ask about the possibility of a later release, as the US is apparently still getting the polybag in June; 'The release of polybags varies depending on location and as such certain exclusives might not be released the same way in the UK as the US' ---- Essentially from the call i got the vibe that they have been told not to confirm if its getting a future release, most likely because the Winter Soldier being exclusive to the Helicarrier is a marketting strategy to get more people to buy it, and they probably would'nt want to weaken that by saying the polybag will be released later.
  20. Scarilian
    Would be nice to get proper names atleast... even if its not used to promote the sets.
  21. Scarilian
    Oh, you Probably going to call Lego sometime tommorow about the situation, will be pretty annoyed if that is the case As for the price i agree, its over-priced for what the set actually is. Most likely this is due to Age Of Ultron coming out and them wanting to make more of a profit on each sold.
  22. Scarilian
    I get the feeling a lot is being left intentionally vague so they can add it to the books that are coming in fall. I would'nt be suprised for example if the toa had more adventures to get the golden masks. These i feel we will get answers to at some point in the future, most likely as the story progresses. Several of these will probably become more important later on such as who created the Mask Of Creation and Control along with the idea of the prophecy. In addition;
  23. Scarilian
    Hopefully, has anyone being able to translate them yet?
  24. Scarilian
    Everyone is allowed an opinion on the sets and just because some find the issues in different places, doesnt mean you have the right to insult them by claiming they are not knowledgeable on the subject and thus their opinions are invalid. Most reviewers do not make movies, however they are still allowed to review movies. You are essentially saying people can only have a singular opinion otherwise they are wrong, its incredibly arrogant to disregard everyone elses opinions because they dont agree with your own. You just agree we all have varying prefrences, but then disregard anyone thinking its a bad design because its the opposite of what you value ¬.¬ You are not only in the community, but you have just insulted everyone who has an opinion on the sets other than those saying they are perfect.
  25. Scarilian
    You can get the Winter Soldier in March i believe, its just available now for those who order the Helicarrier because the delivery is in March. Official UK release is March... not sure about Germany
