    As much as I hate to say so, I really don't think Thanos will happen. You're right, it will most likely be Hulk

    That's true, it is expensive to make a mould. But a big fig mould is simple (simpler = cheaper for them) and also they'd only theoretically have to use it for one set (maybe 2 or 3 if they do a bald Thanos for the Avengers 4 sets) which means it's also cheaper because they don't need to make the mould as durable. You'd probably be looking at a 20k mould, which sounds a lot, but considering it costs them over 100k to produce a mould for a chain, which is a common piece, it's not that much. I think I'm just a wishful thinker. But if they can make a new mould for a Killer Croc that appeared in one DC Comics set that didn't even sell very well, I don't see why they can't do it with the main villain in one of the highest profile movies that they've licensed. Literally all they'd have to do is get the hulk's mould and don't put hair on it (and smooth the head). Easy BTW my knowledge of mould prices is definitely outdated, they do a lot of outsourcing these days so it could be a lot less

    Not saying you're wrong but a Thanos would fit in a set with a similar piece count to the Quicksilver set from AoU, which had the hulk. Also they'd just have to not give him the Infinity Gauntlet or any Infinity Stones, that way you'd still have to get the more expensive set to complete it. LEGO don't really concern themselves with reselling when it comes to producing/pricing sets, so they won't factor in the fact that people will just buy the Gauntlet/Stones from eBay/BrickLink etc. if they release another Thanos. Instead they concern themselves with what's exclusive and will promote people to buy. So it could be possible, if incredibly unlikely. You could argue that there would be no point in making a second Thanos, because if they were going to go through the trouble of of designing a new one why not just release that straight away. But the counter to that augment is Star Lord. They redesigned a Chris Pratt head for JWTFK sets, but didn't use it for Infinity War, even though it would have been really easy (and super accurate) to use that head. But instead they're releasing it less than 2 months later. If they can do it with Chris Pratt's face, why not with Thanos? Again I don't think a second Thanos (especially redesigned) is too likely, but never say never You could be right about the fact that we've all misunderstood there being a 7th set though. It's totally possible we've assumed the Ant-man set/sets were what was rumoured. 6 Stones = 6 sets. Makes sense and is just rounded and even... But a 7th set to complete the most wanted characters and to solve the Thanos issue would be very welcome

    For speculation. Rules is rules

    My main theories for the rumoured 7th infinity war sets 1) Thanos' Sanctuary II. Even though the price is stated at £30-£50 i think you could get a smaller scale build out of that, with a Thanos big fig (bald hopefully) and 2 or 3 more characters. I'd want to see Eyepatch Thor, Loki, and either Heimdall or someone else. I think a bald Thanos won't happen but i'm still holding on hope. This is my least likely guess 2) The Collector's shop on Knowhere. It would be really easy to make a small set piece of of this, similar size to the original Sanctum Sanctorum maybe? Again Bald Thanos, the Collector, maybe one of the black order like Ebony Maw? 3) The Q Ship. A scaled down version of the ship, with (of course) Bald Thanos and maybe Peter Parker in Civilian clothes. I'd also want Wong and maybe another character or two. Maybe even a new Hulk. Getting two big figs isn't unheard of, like the Hulk v Red Hulk set. 4) Something that absolutely no one could possibly guess because it's a total spoiler and we wouldn't even know the scene/characters are in the film. I'd want that bald Thanos yet again and maybe an exclusive spoiler fig (maybe Peter Dinklage's character?) among assorted characters based on the scene. If it's in Wakanda I wouldn't mind getting bucky. If it's in New York I'd want Wong
  7. legoSDR
    This is true

    Personally I think the one we've got would be perfect with a bald head, and an armoured version would look perfect with a helmet
  9. legoSDR
    of course it is
  10. legoSDR
    Me too, its the Thanos we deserve
  11. legoSDR
    She always looks like a browny-green to me. Looking at pictures again you're right about the mint green to be fair. I just think the dark tan would be perfect with some sort of brown/green colour
  12. legoSDR
    Set looks great. Rexy looks better than the JW sets but I still would've preferred darker colours like greens. If Rexy had Blue's new colour scheme and Blue was left the same as JW it would be perfect. Also the printing on Rexy's upper lip looks like a mustache...
  13. legoSDR
    I thought this but isn't the a connection on both sides of the hand? So you can just put the thumb on the correct side which should ensure the stickers are on the right side
  14. legoSDR
    I didn't think it was, mostly because it doesn't look anything like the MCU Winter Soldier. Even the torso print looks like the comic version. I'm not saying you're wrong, maybe I've just been living a lie
  15. legoSDR
    It will probably be a big lorry/truck type vehicle like what she's locked up in in the trailer. Which wouldn't be too great. I think recolouring her would make a lot of sense, maybe like a dark green/brown instead of the reddy brown she is in juniors
  16. legoSDR
    You never know, they could change the colours for rexy like they have with Blue
  17. legoSDR
    Where has this been confirmed? Yeah but I mean actual sets, something more substantial than a polybag. Also I'm not sure if that figure was ever confirmed to be the MCU Winter Soldier, especially considering it became available around a year after the movie was released
  18. legoSDR
    I don't know, Civil War came out in May 2016 and we didn't get the extra set until August of that year. Saying that though, we did get Ragnarok sets in June even though the movie was released in October/November, so who knows
  19. legoSDR
    I think the chances of NOT getting an Ant-Man and the Wasp set is pretty low. The buzz around the movie is really high and it would be a shame for LEGO to miss it out. I'm really hoping that they start doing more sets for the standalone movies. It was a real shame that we didn't get anything for Thor the Dark World and Winter Soldier.

    See I really like the torso, but I do think the bit at the back that makes the arm move is pointless. I think it does close properly with the figure inside, the figure actually stops the chest from closing up too much. I do agree about the gap between the torso and arms, I think they could've easily closed that up. And totally agree with Falcon's wings. I think they should've stuck to the CW version Thanks!

    Surprised to see that you don't like the Hulbuster. I thought it was a lot more detailed and feels more posable and articulate than the previous version

    I've been using Barry's head from the JW sets and the orc ponytail style hair from the Hobbit turned backward. I went a little bit un-pure and trimmed it down a bit I've been using the Mesut Ozil's head from the German football team figs. It's a bit too smiley but I'm finding it to be the only head I can find that fits. I've seen some heads that have perfect features but they've got cheekbones or double printing which is really annoying. As for the torso I've been using Bain from the Hobbit's torso (the version from the Blu-Ray). And the legs I'm currently trying to find a good fit Commander Sato is a good idea, just the double sided head is inconvenient. Could always use that swept back black hair but it's not quite accurate

    What a weird over site. You'd think they'd get that right. I wonder if that's the case for all sets or if it's just a typo printed on some versions? Mine should be delivered tomorrow to find out Question, how do I make a signature? Noticed you've got one
  24. legoSDR
    Can anyone tell me the official colour (BrickLink colour list if possible) of Ebony Maw's head? I'm trying to find hands to match but can't quite figure out what colour it would come under. Thanks in advance Also does anyone know how to put a signature on my posts? I've tried using the Aquaman head and personally I don't think it worked. There's too much of a resemblance to Jason Momoa. I think the official Cap head works fine with the right hair piece. I'm currently using the lighter brown (from Gotze if the German Football team figs) or the new Han Solo hair. I can't decide which is better (leaning toward Solo) out of the two but they both make the head print work better. An alternative head I was using before the sets were released is the Admiral Norrington from the PotC Mill set. I quite like how that looked, but I ultimately prefer the LEGO official I'll be posting pics soon on my instagram @lego.sdr if you want to see and make up your own minds

    Guys if anyone's interested (I don't blame you if you're not) I'm currently posting little reviews of each of the Infinity War sets. If you haven't got them and want a closer look at them and a short opinion feel free to have a look. Over the next few weeks I'm going to be doing closer looks at some of the figs and show how I'm customising them. (I'm mostly a purist customiser except for a sticker here and there) My Instagram is @lego.sdr
