Better than printing - that's bicolor molding!

It's pretty easy to think representation doesn't matter when you've never been underrepresented.

Kinda hard to see in the picture, but Starfire has arm printing.

Marvel Superheroes 2015 Rumors & Discussion
tafkatb replied to CorneliusMurdock's topic in LEGO Licensed
The silver helmet is on Scott. The display model shows Hank riding the ant, though the box art shows Scott. You can tell by the lighter red on Scott's suit. -
Reportedly a set that includes Superman and Batman as well; maybe something like a superhero equivalent of the Disney Princess Collection set.

That doesn't look like printing to me - it looks like bicolor molding, which gets around the problems that would have made leg printing really ugly. Other way around - Scott has the silver helmet, Hank has the dark one. -
US price is $59.99 if I recall correctly. I expect these to start showing up in stateside LBR stores middle of next week.

What info do you really expect to get? Allocations for the March assortment haven't been posted at the store level yet, so you're not likely to get any more information than we already have. -
"Legal" and "illegal" techniques for building?
tafkatb replied to Cloveapple's topic in General LEGO Discussion
Someone else pointed out in the thread on 76042 that the "fingernail groove" along the underside of tiles provides just enough of a setback to keep it within the internal radius of the clip. -
I'd go with Option B; it's just the least amount of hassle. I know two people who went in together on a Tumbler because one just wanted the figures and one just wanted the model. Then it's just a matter of coming to an agreement over how to split the cost, but there's no cut-and-dry formula for cost of figures vs. cost of model.

She was Red Queen in the comics, but the MCU doesn't always adhere exactly to comics continuity. That plus Hope's hairstyle in the movie has a lot of people speculating that she'll suit up as Wasp. -

Not sure how much I trust the report. Obviously they're probably right about the brick-built ant, but I'd rather wait to hear from a site that either specializes in LEGO or specializes in Marvel rather than a more general toy website. -

It doesn't have to be $75 worth of Marvel sets, just $75 or more overall. -
Ooh, I see new corbel bricks! Hope they come out in other colors soon.

Giveaway with purchases of $75 or more in June. -
I think that might be a creative way to work around change budgets - creating a new piece in a line that has a lot of leeway for new molds so that it can be reused later without counting toward the limited number of allowable new parts.

Personally, my favorite version of Ultron is the Mark I in the Avengers Tower, but the only sets I plan on getting are the Hulkbuster and Quinjet, so I might have to find some way to trade for that figure. Overall I think this wave looks great. -

You can get it early in store as well. -
If there are any plans to do something 66-related, I have a feeling they wood hold off until next year for the 50th anniversatree.

Come on guys, let's try to stay on topsoil topic.

Why don't you both make like a tree... and get outta here.

Thanks so much! This will be displayed alongside my Hub birds when I get around to building them.
-
The only update I've seen is that it will be out in the second half of 2015; no specific date.

It's not confirmed yet whether Hope suits up as Wasp in Ant-Man, but if she does it's a safe bet she'd be the third character alongside Ant-Man and Yellowjacket.
