Marvel Superheroes 2017 - Set Discussion

[Sir Gareth]

Wasn't it Sir Gareth who said...that we'll receive one set for Spider-Man: Homecoming and also one set for Thor Ragnarok?

NO.

Actually Thor has so much more. Yeah there's plenty of Spidey from comics, but in Ragnarok there's Thor, Hulk, Loki, Heimdall, Odin, Hogun, Volstagg, Fandral, Valkyrie, Hela, Skurge, Grandmaster and Surtur

I was about to just say that. If we're talking action/hero characters then Ragnarok and GOTG Vol. 2 easily have more characters to make figs of than Homecoming.

If there is a mini wave for Ragnarok my guesses would be a gladiator type thing with Thor, Hulk, Valkyrie and Grandmaster, and then perhaps something asgard related with Hela, Skurge, Loki, Heimdall, ect.

While there are certainly a lot of characters and subjects for Thor sets to depict, I do think it's likely that Spider-Man will get more sets than Thor: Ragnarok if only because of Spider-Man's proven marketability. It's no coincidence that he's been one of the most commonly featured characters in the Marvel Superheroes theme even before he was a part of the cinematic universe.

Wait, has he really? I didn't notice...

Huh, would you look at that. You might be on to something.

And that's just the tip of the iceberg!

Oh I don't doubt Spidey will get more sets. I was just saying I disagreed with the idea that there aren't enough characters/situations in Thor 3 to make multiple sets.

[SpiderJazz]

I think it's worthwhile to add that 2017 will be the first year to release THREE Marvel Cinematic Universe movies, and we don't know how LEGO will respond to that. Maybe Ragnarok will get a small wave. We can't take from previous years to judge. However we also shouldn't speculate on this thread, it angers the moderators

Just to clarify, so we are NOT suppose to speculate or tackle about those upcoming movies? Thanks.

Correct

It happens, but when the conversation completely derails, that's generally when the Mods step in.

[rodiziorobs]

We can, but if we are talking about the movies themselves there is a Culture and Multimedia subforum here.

[Pulp Detective]

NO.

As I recall you said this a while back :

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is to Captain America: Civil War, as Spider-Man: Homecoming and Thor: Ragnarok are to Doctor Strange.

Check page 7 of this very thread if you don't believe me.

But if I misinterpreted what you were saying then it's my mistake.

Just as I recall you previously taking that quote out of context, and misinterpreting it:

Well, Sir Gareth said that...we are recieving at least one set for Thor: Ragnarok.

No, I have not.

Edited August 24, 2016 by Sir Gareth

[Captain Nemo]

Let's all focus on the sets we do know about, and not debate how many sets we think we will get...

Thanks!

[Invincible_LEGOMAN]

Yeah! So does anybody have any more info on the Winter 2017 wave?

[Sir Gareth]

...any more information on the January Wave?

What more is there to ask for by this point? We already know complete set contents.

[Pulp Detective]

Guess we'll have our first look at the GotG sets this January when the catalog of the first half of 2017 comes out.Hopefully this time around Lego will step up their game,was not a fan of the first wave.

[Falconfan1414]

Yeah! So does anybody have any more info on the Winter 2017 wave?

What other info do we need?

[Invincible_LEGOMAN]

Just trying to get back on topic. But we don't know what the jet looks like in the Cap set.

[Falconfan1414]

Weird question but does anyone know of the peice used for ms marvel just longer arms to simulate stretchy arms or is it a new part that can actually stretch

[Winter Soldier]

They said it's a new piece that can stretch.

[CM4Sci]

They said it's a new piece that can stretch.

Who did exactly?

[SpiderJazz]

They said it's a new piece that can stretch.

WOAH that's a new information. I think it's a newbie questions, but are we going to see or allowed to see the prelim images? or just the actual set images?

[LegoMcBoss2004]

On here if they are leaked, NO. Maybe somewhere else but until Lego officially unveils the set, images are not aloud to be posted.

That answers my question, thanks alot!

[Winter Soldier]

Who did exactly?

I think that new guy, his name's something like "the whisperer".

[Sir Gareth]

All Whisperer said is that Ms. Marvel's arms are new pieces, longer than he expected.

[Ashnflash]

So did Hulk_smash I think or it was Delta
