    The most interesting part of that: That is a really good question, and I would have liked to have gotten a real answer. Because, since when did CUUSOO become a competition with a "winner" as portrayed in the YouTube video? Even though they may say it isn't a competition, if they can only release one CUUSOO set at a time, when reviewing a group they are theoretically picking a "winner" from the group i.e the best fit with the LEGO brand as a real product. The next part, where it gets really interesting, is what if the Exo suit wasn't in review (not making it to 10k)? Then what would CUUSOO have done? Would they have picked another project? Do they view it is as bad PR when all projects get rejected and none pass? I think it is pretty safe to draw the conclusion, yes. That is the only reason they grouped all those previous reviews together, even if they try and say otherwise.

    I hope it is light grey with metallic arm printing (like the CMF Gladiator only in silver). Winter Soldier really does need arm printing to show the armor. I also want them to stick with a printed head for Captain America and just add wings, that would be perfect.

    I agree, this theme has no comparison to Kingdoms IMHO, it was a huge letdown. They should have just continued Kingdoms with Falcon Knights and added Forestman.

    I wonder if we will get Falcon in his film appearance rather than the cartoon one. Or if he is the third minifig in the smaller Avengers one. As to why no Thor 2 sets, I bet it was something along the lines of, "We can only make x amount of sets for each license per year. We have a lot of properties to work with, so which of these best lends themselves as LEGO products that the target consumers will want to purchase?" Without a doubt, Spider-man, Avengers and X-men were top of the list. Guardians of The Galaxy, will probably be a large spaceship set (which fits with the above requirements) and the first over $100 Marvel set I believe. I would have loved to have seen a Rainbow Bridge set though. I wonder if LEGO couldn't find any suitable set material from the film, plus the release time of the film is not in line with normal set waves.

    I think it looks great personally and I can't wait to see it. I had anticipated it to be the best of the phase 2 films.

    After everything, it is hard for me to take CUUSOO seriously now.

    The Helicarrier will appear in it? Another missed chance for that set, it is looking like TLG only has 1 small WS set planned.

    How is the popularity dropping off, any sales numbers to prove this? The way I see it, TLM has nothing to do with keeping CMF alive as a line, it is just promotion for the film, nothing more nothing less. S13 could be a questionable business choice, but seems more like exploration into a new territory. Often new ideas or concepts are tried by companies. S14 is based on a product based on a product (like S12, so LEGO IP). Funcom said the plan is every time a new CMF series comes out, they will come with codes for in game redemption. That would get complicated if CMF started having licenses across multiple IP's. The only one this applies to so far would be S13. S12 and S14 will contain various minifigs from multiple themes, not based on a singular IP.

    I don't think that is a new one (in a new color), it is just the lighting.

    I agree, this is good if you don't have any Pirate sets (at all), it's a decent starter pack with some interesting parts. But if you have been following the Pirates theme, then this is not very interesting. Series 14 should provide some excellent pirate minfigs though.
  12. Piranha
    It is more likely to balance the sets between DC and Marvel out. That would bring the total number of Marvel sets to 18, and DC 16 (2012-2014). I can see 2 more DC sets later in 2014.
  13. Piranha
    Thanks for those descriptions. The Spider-helicopter does sound like the one in the game, a VTOL. I only hope we get a better Spider-man fig (doubt it). Why 3 USM sets and no ASM 2 sets? I also wonder if the plane in the Joker set is the Batwing from Arkham Origins? I hope the black suit Batman is a new print.
  14. Piranha
    Were any figs visible? Or any pictures from TLM sets?
  15. Piranha
    I think he is based on his ASM 2 appearance.The hairpiece is a perfect match for the character. The USM Peter doesn't have hair like that. Daredevil has one of the best designs IMHO, I would love to get him as a real fig. We need a CMF Superheroes theme.
  16. Piranha
    That little Batman set looks great, easily the best $13 Superhero set yet. I hope we get a Batman with the Arkham Origins design. That would be perfect.
  17. Piranha
    Nice find, those make the sets sound much better. I am most interested in the Ice Cream Machine and Castle Cavalry sets.
  18. Piranha
    You can see a glimpse of him here. He is a robot cowboy it looks like. So I am guessing that set will be a Western one, similar to what was shown in the trailer.

    Unfortunately German site Werst has them listed liked this: Marvel (The Ultimate Spider-Man) Marvel Set 1 (76014) – $19.99 Marvel Set 2 (76015) – $24.99 Marvel Set 3 (76016) – $48.99 Also the descriptions are pretty definitive for the Ulitamte Goblin and Doc Ock set. The only one left is the smallest and that has a minifig that doesn't sound like anyone from ASM 2. At this point, I am hoping there is a retailer exclusive or summer set for ASM 2 but I am not very optimistic we will get one.

    I could see Ant-Man getting 1-2 sets in 2015, depending on how many Avengers 2 sets TLG decides to make. If LEGO has acquired a license with Fox, I would like to see a set featuring the Adamantium Silver Samurai mech suit from The Wolverine.

    I found this on 2ttoys.nl, they have listed the names of the sets: Dutch: LEGO® Movie 70800 Ontsnappings-glider LEGO® Movie 70801 Smeltkamer LEGO® Movie 70802 Achtervolging LEGO® Movie 70803 Dwaas paleis LEGO® Movie 70804 IJsmachine LEGO® Movie 70805 Afvalkraker LEGO® Movie 70806 Kasteelcavalerie LEGO® Movie 70807 MetalBeard's duel LEGO® Movie 70808 Supermotor achtervolging LEGO® Movie 70809 Lord Business schuilplaats Google translate: LEGO ® 70800 Movie escape glider LEGO ® Movie 70801 Melt Room LEGO ® Movie 70802 Pursuit LEGO ® 70803 Fool Movie Palace LEGO ® Movie 70804 Ice Machine LEGO ® Movie 70805 Waste Kraker LEGO ® Movie 70806 Castle Cavalry LEGO ® Movie 70807 Metal Beard's duel LEGO ® Movie 70808 Super Motor pursuit LEGO ® Movie 70809 Lord shelter Business Anyone here speak dutch, that can provide a better translation?

    Also, they announced a demo will be available Tuesday ( 10/15) for Xbox, PS3 and PC.
  23. Piranha
    Meh, I would have rather seen Starkiller.
  24. Piranha
    Some more characters were announced at NYCC today, source. Interesting, they confirmed ASM 2 Electro. I hope we get at least one set from the film.
  25. Piranha
    That is a great new version of Nightwing, thanks for sharing.
