benderisgreat Posted February 21, 2016 Posted February 21, 2016 (edited) Great review Just2good! But the set itself is even more disappointing than I expected: no minifigs beside Iron Man &War Machine have leg print ( seriously why Cap can't have double molded legs to repress his boots?). Why Lego reuses Cyborg face when they already have spot on Don Cheadle face from 2013 sets? The Quinjet is unnecessary as a better version was released last year. The control tower is the only salvageable part of a set since it can be used in City airport. Overall I am really dissapointed, but will still have to buy this set.

Legocity2713 Posted February 21, 2016 Posted February 21, 2016 Loving the inclusion of AIM, Hammer, and Stark Industries stickers on the boxes of the Airport set! That was unexpected, unlike Sokovia, Billund, and Wakanda, which are still so great! The easter eggs in the set are amazing. Some great creative liberties were taken. Quote
N_Cat Posted February 21, 2016 Posted February 21, 2016 Why Lego reuses Cyborg face when they already have spot on Don Cheadle face from 2013 sets? Unfortunately it seems like I will have to abuse bricks and pieces program to get accurate War Machine face. Seriously? You're going to defraud a free service intended for children so you can avoid paying $5 on Bricklink or eBay? Quote

mediumsnowman Posted February 21, 2016 Posted February 21, 2016 I would try Wal-Mart or Meijer if you have one instead. Target will not release sets before the street date; I've called them and asked before. As Sir Gareth said, YMMV. I've done it several times before. My target is really lax. Quote

I think you're focusing too much on the negatives of this set. For one they correct a lot of mistakes from previous minifigs. Scarlet Witch as correct coloring magic pieces and a better fitting hair piece plus a cloth piece to represent her coattails (much better than printing it on if you ask me). I stated it before but I'm pretty sure the reason why Rhodey has Cyborg's head is because the original head is no longer in production, along with the Iron Man 3 sets (which will be three years old this summer) but the Cyborg head is in mass production because of the Dimensions minifigure. Plus I don't mind that much because its behind a completely new and amazing War Machine helmet and suit. A much better representation than the one before which looked more like the Mark 2. We also get 2 microfigure Ant-Mans. The tower isn't a bad build and the pieces that come with it are very usefull, especially the white walls and the dark trans-clear slanted windows. Let's not forget the amazing brick built minifig Giant-Man. That's much better than anything anyone expected. I will admit the Quinjett is a dissapointment but only because we've already gotten two better builds for it before. I think the biggest issue with it is that it has to much in the head and the cabin and doesn't have anything for the tail. It looks like 2/3 of a ship. In no way is this a perfect set. Perhaps it would've been better if they cut some things and made it smaller and cheaper but who knows what specifications these sets have to meet before they go into production. Quote

Giant Man is my favorite part of this set despite using so many stickers, and just like I said before control tower can be used for City Airport. Quinjet is totally unnecessary though and isn't that good looking too, so I'll probably uses its piece to improve 2015 Quinjet. Quote
NXS7 Posted February 21, 2016 Posted February 21, 2016 Thats fraud. Its illegal. You can argue that they'll never know but hey if you want to be a jerk go ahead. Even Just2good has done it. He posts his purchases on his YouTube channel Quote
just2good Posted February 21, 2016 Posted February 21, 2016 (edited) Thank you all for the kind words! And, if I remember, I'll post the size comparison thing. Even Just2good has done it. He posts his purchases on his YouTube channel Incorrect. Abusing the Bricks and Piecs system that benderisgreat is talking about is using the free part replacement feature fraudulently- claiming to own the set the piece comes in and lying that you lost the piece or that the piece broke. There's a separate site on Bricks and Pieces where you can buy certain pieces. War Machine's face isn't on there so abusing the site would be saying you lost it and getting a free replacement. I think doing that is illegal and wrong. Edited February 21, 2016 by just2good Quote
Sir Gareth Posted February 21, 2016 Posted February 21, 2016 (edited) Even Just2good has done it. He posts his purchases on his YouTube channel Just2good legally purchases parts through Bricks and Pieces. Bender is contemplating falsing reporting a missing or broken headpiece to receive a free replacement. Edit: Ninja'd by the man himself Edited February 21, 2016 by Sir Gareth Quote

They never have sets or minifigure packs early and often don't even have them on the release date. Sorry again. Quote

The comments of Just2Good's video are enough to make you go mad. One person commented that he will be calling Lego to see if he can buy figure parts from the service. Another continues to claim J2G stole them and not to listen to him. Others just keep listing obscene amounts of random/rare/really old parts they will be buying. Quote

Others just keep listing obscene amounts of random/rare/really old parts they will be buying. Not surprisingly, you can't buy most licensed minifigure parts. A few are available only as replacements if yours was missing when you bought it new. My 76032 was missing its sticker sheet, and because it has licensed elements, they make you go through quite a rigmarole to prove that you deserve a replacement. It's meant to discourage abuse. Since many of us rely on the replacement service for legitimately broken/missing pieces, I really hope no one is seriously considering abusing it. Too much of that, and you would ruin it for everyone. Edited February 22, 2016 by linnormlord Quote
Shawn Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 What store/region? I picked it up on eBay from a seller that picked it up at LegoLand in Florida. I have heard that it is also in the CA Legoland as well.We will see more of these. Quote
Amazing Bricks Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 Ultron has silver small legs! At New York toy fair, they had ultron displayed with dark grey small legs. Just glad we're able to have a comic ultron. One of those new minecraft sets has those silver legs which will be very useful. Quote

Me a few days ago: Hmmm, so if you wanted to make a comic version and give the Micro Micros one regular legs, would the new Minecraft legs work? Shown in the link here from BrickSet--- https://www.flickr.c.../in/dateposted/ They say they're in silver in their review. Edited February 22, 2016 by Legocity2713 Quote

GoldenNinja3000 Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 Black Panther Pursuit unboxing. I'll have the review up later tonight and a review of the Venom Symbiote polybag up within the week. Quote
Falconfan1414 Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 Well that's assuming this mighty micros stuff continues Quote
NXS7 Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 Well that's assuming this mighty micros stuff continues Whilst I wish it won't, I would like to see goofy versions of other characters Quote
Legocity2713 Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 Whilst I wish it won't, I would like to see goofy versions of other characters It would be great to see a cartoony Iron Man. How exactly would they even do it? Anyway, back on topic: very excited to see the Captain America polybag. Amazingbricks said a brick built motorcycle, which while cool will not be done too well in my opinion. (RE: DC Robin's motorcycle polybag, Chima Worriz's bike, etc...) But then again, if it is a molded bike, thats way too repetitive. I guess part selection will be the only thinks that would make the set worthwhile. Quote
Amazing Bricks Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 Mighty micros iron man... Imagine that. I can see Thor vs Loki, the mjolnir car would be interesting. Quote
