Aaaaggh! Yesterday I finally got around to start building Avengers Tower, continued this morning and now I'm at bag nine, where it turns out one of the smaller bags inside with tiny parts is missing from the set. Now I have to wait till the replacement parts arrive I did get an extra Helen Cho head and hair, though I guess it was bound to happen at some point, since this is the first time ever for me. Did you guys have any similar situations with Avengers Tower? Regards, Mitch

The Boarding Tantive IV set looks fantastic (even though it's still a grainy picture), and it has a decent minifigure selection and count, as well Too bad it's fifty-freakin'-five dollars/euros, though... Regards, Mitch

Got it, thanks Ooh, sounds cool! Thank you for this! It's a very helpful list Regards, Mitch

Thanks for the replies, guys! For starters, I was under the impression the X-Mansion was a summer set, hence my jumping the gun a bit I'm just so excited about this set. Also, I've recently started redecorating my room with new glass cabinets and whatnot for my LEGO display and, since it's nearly finished, I was hoping to get an idea of how much room I need to leave for the Mansion Also, to clarify; we're getting possibly TWO D2C's this year? Regards, Mitch

Hey guys, quick question (I hope ) Realistically, when you do think we can expect a reveal for the X-Mansion? Is there a convention or toy fair that it might be suitable for, in the coming months, or will we have to wait until nearly a month before (estimated) release? Thanks and a good day to you all! Regards, Mitch

I just thought of something, with mentioning of The New Batman Adventures... Doesn't that show feature a different Batmobile than the one in B:TAS? Hopefully the design will be based on the latter, not the former Actually, I'm not thrilled by any of the art/designs used in TNBA compared to that from B:TAS. Regards, Mitch

That Batmobile set sounds like an instant buy. The BTAS version is my favorite AND it has my favorite BTAS villain All the others are wait and see, but sound intriguing Regards, Mitch

I'm very excited for The Acolyte as well. I actually know very little regarding plot at characters and such (which I'd like to keep that way for now), but I believe there will be references/flashbacks to Sith from older time, say Old Republic era, and I do know it's about the Sith (or perhaps Dark Jedi) during the High Republic era (if I'm not mistaken), so it'll definitely be a great source for generic Sith/Dark Jedi minifigures and vehicles. As said, hopefully LEGO does something with it Regards, Mitch

Exactly that Which is why I decided to buy them now, at this much more reasonable price, versus the 25 per when it was only available in the Coruscant Guard Gunship. I should probably note this was in my own country, only, since I prefer to purchase there. They may have been a little cheaper then, in other countries. Regards, Mitch

True, but it is a sequel to X-Men: The Animated Series which was definitely proven, if you ask me, and will probably share many of its designs. So it could be based on basically both of those series, but probably branded as X-Men '97, as you stated. And in the end, it's all Marvel's X-Men, so character-wise there's still a LOT of options. Regards, Mitch

On Bricklink, I ordered 6 Shock Troopers and they arrived yesterday Regards, Mitch

The fact that it's D2C gives it so much potential. I suspect it will be modular. Though certain characters would be great to have in LEGO form, I'm not really concerned for which minifigures come with it. I'm just glad we're getting the location Regards, Mitch

Whoa, these sets sound amazing! Personally I don't have any interest in the GotG sets, but all the others sound like something I could very well end up buying. I already have a LOT of Ultron Drones, so I think I will skip the Iron Legion vs. Ultron Drones battlepack, but I'm curious to see how the new Iron Legion looks. The Surtur Battle could be very nice, assuming it includes some fiery surroundings. I was lucky enough to acquire the Helicarrier back when it came out, but I'm intrigued to see how the midi-scale version will turn out, and on which movie it will be based (not that there's too many differences between them). I'm kinda hoping the Avengers: Age Of Ultron Battle will finally have a tan Qui-Gon Jinn hairpiece for Thor, but they'll probably stick with dark tan. Concerning the lack of X-Men sets; we still have fall/winter, but I'm guessing, IF we get a Xavier School mansion, it'll probably be next year. A few smaller once in the meantime would be nice, though Regards, Mitch

Oh, thank God! That is indeed his best look. Also; oh jeez, my head is such a mess. It was mentioned multiple times the minifig would be a Fallen Order version, yet every time I kept thinking "why of such a recent game?" and "but he looks more iconic in the first" Agreed! Regards, Mitch

Gotta say, Darth Malak looks amazing. Fives too (his head is definitely spot on ) but I'm not really too interested in him Hopefully, but doubtfully, the anniversary figs won't be too expensive on BL, 'cause I have little interest in most of the main sets Regards, Mitch

Oh, oops. I thought I read it being $200 In that case, this might be a nice thing. The addition of Cal Kestis as a minifigure certainly is Regards, Mitch

Well, this is... interesting. This certainly has a 'what if...?'/multiverse tinge to it The minifigures in the Dark Falcon definitely sound intriguing, and I'm interested in seeing Jedi Bob's Starfighter. I'm quite surprised we'll be getting a Death Star already, or at least a Death Star-themed playset. Might it be similar to the Cloud City Base set? Regardless, I'm eagerly awaiting more info Regards, Mitch

Oh, right, the MkVI is damaged in the Avengers Tower. In that case, I agree with you Regards, Mitch

See, I knew I remembered seeing a LEGO version of Hot Rod somewhere, but for some reason I couldn't find it on Brickset yesterday. Guess I didn't search properly Having seen it now, though- it looks kinda bad, so could definitely use a proper remake Would be a nice little thing. Regards, Mitch

I don't believe we have Hot Rod yet, I'd very much like to see him some day Also, I would LOVE to see Model 49 (black & gold armor, red glowing 'eyes' and arc reactor light), but that's from the comics, not MCU, so Regards, Mitch

Has it been confirmed Harrison Ford will be portraying General Ross? 'Cause I just noticed on the Marvel wikia that there's a guy named Robert Maverick, also a military man who also turns into a Red Hulk. And his Hulk has a mustache Regards, Mitch

The Cap vs. Red Hulk set sounds intriguing, though I really need to wait and see how MCU Hulk will look and the LEGO version based on him. Incidentally, someone posted a picture of the upcoming Cyclops head being double-faced, with the a portion of the rear face being quite visible around the hairline You'd think they could afford to avoid with a second head, with a price like that, but if you ask me, he didn't really need a second face, definitely not a smiling one. Cyclops isn't exactly known for cocky behavior or anything.... Regards, Mitch

Nice! Hopefully it wasn't a typo Coincidentally, I pre-ordered the X-Jet at the Dutch/Belgian webshop Het Deense Steentje, last night, where it was already discounted to €67 But that's probably only during preorders, though. It might still be cheaper at that website upon release, but not as much as now. Regards, Mitch

Yeah, but if Marvel cuts ties with him, doesn't the entire contract get... annulled or something? Meaning they can recast him, by then. To be honest, I only want a Kang minifigure for my Marvel villain display, but aside from that, I really hope the character Kang will stay in the MCU instead of things going in a completely different direction (which seems more and more likely, I believe). Regards, Mitch

Yeah, well, I don't think anyone expected a (near-)reuse so soon after the original's release. And I don't think War Machine is based off any particular movie, since the minifigure seems to be comic inspired Oh, wow, good eye! Regards, Mitch
