Mr. Cube

Well, it depends on the country. It was sold out on the first day there.

When I'm looking at this set, it's like the travel through the time into my childhood. LEGO knows what they're doing, hehe. I don't understand complaints about black trees. Yesterday I was i forest and many, many trees are very dark grey or nearly black. Having all trees in brown is more innacurate than having black tree there and there. It's also more fitting to the theme.

I was looking forward to this set, as I own only the original interior-based Sanctum from 2016 and I skipped that one from 2018. But now I'm a little bit disappointed with this set, or more specifically with the minifigures. I hope that the build will be great with many nice details and techniques, but I think that this set will not be my "1st day must buy", as I planned before.

I wouldn't call that false advertising. Those pictures are like logos of the certain product themes/subthemes. They are more like edited product photos of hamburgers from fast-food chains than representations of actual products. I still remember how great Din Djarins' helmet looked on the previous box design (even on the current one) and how plain and boring it looked in reality. Color change of that piece helped, but it still look worse than the picture on the box.

Well, they did it with later batches of 75166 battle pack (TFA x TLJ FO Stormtrooper helmet design), but that was just updated print on the same mold. This case is propably more complicated. But I hope they give us new mold with 501st prints until they decide to redesign the helmet again.

I don't understand why every criticism must be labelled as "hate" these days. Sometimes I feel like I just have to love or hate something, no other options. While that older head works better for Infinity War/Endgame Wong, it still looks more like Wong than that new one to me. New head looks more like Luis from Ant-Man than Wong. I would not call that "fu manchu" (which seems to be more longer) and Wong undoubtedly had this style of beard for some time.

Here is my entry for the contest: Theme: The Lord of the Rings Name: "But the power of the Ring could not be undone."

As a minifigure collector, who owns all Iron Man variants (OK, except that 2012 Toy Fair one ), I have mixed feelings about this. New helmet mold looks great and fits better with the later MCU suits and it's definitely better than that one-piece printed helmet, which I really don't like. But they used it also for MK 3, so I'm afraid that they will use only this new mold in future sets for all Iron Man minifigures. The set itself looks cool, but it's a little bit strange that they changed design of the displays. And that price is...a little bit overpriced.

Every time i look at LEGO stormies, I just think "Why don’t the LEGO stormies and clones have printed waists?" Every new version of trooper has it (FO Stormtrooper/Snow/Flame, Death Trooper, Howertank Pilot, Shoretroopers, Patrol, Mimban, Range....), but, for some reason, stormies (including Sandtroopers) and clones still have plain black or white waists. They did it in in 2005 (7264) and then never again. I just don’t get it.

While I understand the reason for giving medium legs for hobbits (playability), I think that medium legs should belong to the dwarves, because they are taller than hobbits. And hobbits should get short legs.

Where is the roof? Will there be some add-on like in last years Harry Potter modular wave? The set feels incomplete without the roof. From this point of view, the 2012 set looks much better. And Boba's helmet has still the wrong color. But I like the inclusion of quarren and BIG Fortuna.

As a Iron Man minifigures collector, I hope that it will be Bruce. :D

They already did 2 waves of HP minifigures, DC, now Marvel....and I don't think that it had an impact on HP, DC, Marvel sets sales. It always depends on the minifigure list choice. They could easily prevent product cannibalization by choosing different characters (or variants) for CMF and sets from the actual wave/s.

I would like to see some cool BP based on The Bad Batch, including 1x Regular Phase II Clone Trooper, 1x Clone Commando Trooper, 1x Phase 0 TK Stormtrooper, 1x Elite Squad Trooper.

I will try to put them on my Iron Man MK41 "Bones" suit. I think that they could look nice.

I had an information about this set from the same person who told me about that Sakaarian Iron Man, which turned out to be true. So I don't have any doubts about that.

At least, if they didn’t want to produce Mandalorian helmet in new color, they could give him green helmet + new print, because they produced that helmet in green for Mandalorian battle pack. And green would work better for repainted Boba than sand green, IMO.

I like the most of this wave, my only complaint is that they used the old Boba Fetts' helmet instead of making new color + print. He has that beautiful new torso with detailed arm printing but uses old helmet, a bit odd.

...so my source was right :) What I don't like about the Sanctuary II set is that we get Thanos as a minifigure. That set is from the same wave, it has the same box design and everything, but in one case we get bigfig and in another case a minifig. I would prefer bigger Sanctuary II in "UCS style" and smaller Benatar, or different figures design (Thanos as a micro-fig and other characters as nano-figs). But I know...it's a toy. :)

Why I didn't know that earlier?! I just bought infinity gauntlet with all stones.

I trust that source. But I was very surprised by that too.

That was me. I had an information from reliable source. I decided to delete that post, because all comments were like "you're lying!".

As an Iron Man minifigs collector, I am happy with that, because if they would update it, then there would be 2 versions of MK 85 and it would be a little odd. For a new minifig I would prefer battle damaged version over updated armor.

I know it is pointless, because LEGO will not change it. But I am afraid that "make it shorter" advice will not work here, because the proportions of helmet and arc reactor are really giant. But I will try.

I'm disappointed by the size of the Iron Monger. The model itself will be cool as a stand alone model of Iron Monger, but the scale looks wrong to me. Iron Man looks soooo small next to this Iron Monger.
