  1. Oh, no this is turning into the Marvel 4th set... No new info.
  2. This version isn't used to it, but Raimi's Spider-Man is! Hopefully this version will see them in larger quantity soon.
  3. That Mara Jade is really, really good. I've been trying to think of a female character for that Dooku torso and may end up using it for Mara. Nicely done.
  4. Prequel material is on the bottom of their list right now. It's really a push for TFA, solo movies, and other new stories. Now that TFA is out of the bag, I think the new push is on. The prequel material we're seeing this year is already stuff that had been in the works.
  5. I don't know the exact screen time, but I did read something funny that Spider-Man had more lines in Civil War than Supes had in Bats Vs Supes. That's amazing.
  6. Wow, instantly recognizable! Very nicely done! Now, you know what I'm gonna ask, right? Where's the scaled Rumble to go with that scene... :P
  7. I think one main reason for a reduced amount of skin tones is to keep the floodgates from opening. If they create one shade, then everyone will be asking for another and it'll be a process just to match all the ones that could be applicable. It has to be a slow process. Besides, Lego knows we'll still by the product even if it's a shade or two off.
  8. I've used different names on different boards. Most specifically suiting the theme of the board. Here, I used to use Hawkman, but changed it to HawkLord. I realized it could be confusing to some because I don't know a single thing about Hawkman the DC superhero (except that he has something to do with hawks) and wanted to distance myself from that. Granted HawkLord is probably my only board name that doesn't have anything to do with the board's theme, it is a theme for me.
  9. The sets were probably accurate for the time Lego recieved prelims to work off of. Plus, I'm sure they felt like adding Carter to ensure all the female characters were covered and there wasn't another good spot for her in the other sets. Overall, the Black Panther jet is the least accurate and least desirable. Cap and Winter Soldier appear elsewhere and BP looks very plain. WS could have had civilian clothes and BP could have had an alt head to help.
  10. Really great, solid movie overall. Cap was the best he's ever been. Bucky worked out well. Falcon was surprisingly good. Widow was a great support piece. Ant-Man and Spidey stole the show. Scarlet Witch felt redundant in her storyline. Vision was great, but needed something to bring him into the fold, because he felt like he was on the outside too much. Iron Man was the only one I felt was alittle off. I think they needed to focus on him and what he's going through more in order to really drive his plot points. In any case, still one of the best MCU movies.
  11. I'm not sure what you mean. Do you mean the BaM (build a minifigure) displays? Those you can certainly buy, in either the normal fashion of three minifigures and three accessories. Or in some cases, I've seen people fill the compartments with just minifigure accessories and th store lets them purchase them in that manner.
  12. Well, going off the current Obi-Wan and Anakin comic which takes place between TPM and AOTC, Anakin almost decides to leave the Jedi. It's not finished yet, but it's turning out to be a really good serious. I could see it expanded and adapted for the screen.
  13. It's a backpeddle. Harrison Ford has always thought Han was boring and one dimensional, going so far as to call him "Ham Yoyo" because of his cheesy lines. Look at all the interviews where Harrison only mentions coming back for the money. I have nothing against the guy and I think he's a great actor, but I do think he had motives for coming back to the franchise. But, anyway, difference of opinion.
  14. Ford wanted Han to die in the new trilogy and he wanted another Indy movie. That was the deal. It's obvious. Ford has never been into playing Han and has said so even last year. He's mentioned repeatedly he's just come back for the money and not the character. And, of course, it's never been stated because of the backlash, but it's been suggested and rumored from multiple sources.
  15. Remember with as little new material (let's face it, the set is mostly just white bricks), there's not that much financial loss here. This set would be easy to produce, since most of it has been done before. This is really just a cut-and-paste effort from Lego, so it's not that bad of a loss. And that really is the beauty of their business model. With bricks being so interchangeable, it's not like Lego loses too much on new molds. For example, I consider Kylo's Shuttle to be a loss, but it's not because all it is are grey bricks and plates - Lego makes tons of those.
  16. FO General polybag is unknown at this time. Could be a Lego store promo or TRU, those would be the main bet.
  17. Well, since Harrions Ford coming back was contingent on Han dying, I guess whichever episode Ford felt fit for that to happen in.
  18. If it's a facade, I'm betting it'll be like the Marvel Daily Bugle set.
  19. Quinlan Voss and Luminara both look really good and I feel like this will be our last prequel non-main character Jedi for some time, so I'm seriously considering them. And I already have Bariss Offee, so it would be good to get her mentor.
  20. Is the Poe comic any good? I was thinking of picking it up, as I like the other new material that's come out. Also, is it a mini-series or will be ongoing?
  21. Looks great. Very classic fantasy or Diablo-like.
  22. Is there a pic of the back? I only see the front.
  23. This is especially true since other themes are using the realistic looking guns - for example, the Marvel Airport Battle uses the sub-machine gun piece. It's not like Lego decided to move away from realistic guns permanently, so I don't know why they moved away from them in battlepacks. At least I've been able to amass a small armory of the realistic guns over the past few years. I probably have at least 3/4 of a small PaB cup full of the pistols, blasters, and rifles.
  24. That's great news - it shows some faith in the license, which it deserves. Given that it sounds like a smallish version of the actually HQ, I'm betting it'll include Melissa McCarthy and Kristen Wiig's characters.
  25. Not quite. We all know Lego bricks. Pieces in one set are the same as in another and if someone doesn't like the piece assortment of what it builds they certainly know and understand the product enough to provide a review. Unless a set is built with all brand new pieces, a lot of people here will have enough point of reference to provide a review.
