They will if it lasts as long as SW. I mean we are getting some really obscure characters in SW now. It would be great if TLG gave us one Fantastic Four comic based set next year (like the X-men 2012 set). It would also be a good time as it would be before the GG and Captain America 2 films occupy probably all the summer/spring sets.

Those new videos are awesome. Everything about this game looks fantastic, the attention to detail on each character is nice. Also the classic LEGO TT games humor is always great.

TLG has never stated they won't make sets based off or inspired from video games. SW has a few sets based off games and those you mention are clearly inspired. I expect to see more inspired or loosely based sets from Arkham Origins. I also think TLG will give us some comic style Marvel sets next year (Fantastic Four would be perfect).

I think around 1:14 in the video, it shows (very quickly) that you can turn the flame on and off. Not entirely sure but that is what it appeared to be. The designs of Mr. Fantastic and Human Torch I think are great and it would be nice to have them in a set next year.

Moved to Culture & Multimedia forum.

I couldn't agree more. IIRC the original Batman theme was not very popular at the time it was for sale on shelves. Consequently I always believed that was one of the reasons why the discontinued set prices went astronomical. I also remember the perception of the sets back then was never very high, hard to say though, since it was such a long time ago. I believe even the original Spider-man theme had that problem. I do remember seeing Batman sets at steep discounts all the time on shelves. (Should have bought them all ). So possibly TLG could be playing it safe for now, only releasing smaller size sets with cool figs as a precautionary strategy. When LOTR is mentioned as a comparison, there is one difference, although licensed, it still is a castle type theme at its roots. Castle sets have always sold well, so maybe TLG feels more comfortable making larger and more detailed sets for that theme as a safer investment. Of course this is probably just my rambling on.

The Fantastic Four were already confirmed in that long gameplay trailer, at the end cutscene Nick Fury says to get that "cosmic brick" over to the Fantastic Four. I don't think they would be mentioned as a reference only since Galactus is the primary villain in the game. Not to mention the Silver Surfer is also in the game.

I don't know about that one, the Bat and Tumbler set is pretty weak as well. Compared to LOTR and SW so far, mostly all of the sets are lackluster. The SW wave includes three large sets (Sail Barge, RGS and AT-TE) this summer and none for Superheroes is surprising. Not for lack of subject matter either, they could be holding out seeing if the line is successful until releasing more and better sets. It would be nice to have the Helicarrier or Stark Tower as the Marvel D2C next year and some Thor 2 and Fantastic 4 sets.

Fantastic review KDM. Keep em' coming. Time to join the RA? This is a great way to get the new white horse or Silver for cheap, also for those interested in just the Lone Ranger fig. I am really not a fan of the cheekbones on any of the new licensed figs however. I agree this set is a solid 8/10.

I would actually like to see a new Super Chief set, with the engine and two cars, one of them being an observation car. The original was released sometime ago, so I could see a new updated version selling very well and being popular. Like with the new UCS X-Wing.

Wow, that is awesome and probably the best tour set I have seen to date. Love the vintage LEGO throwback take.

Iron Patriot looks fantastic. I recall hearing in some places that people were able to buy the pre-order Jack Sparrow polybag at TRU for $5 or $10 without ordering the game. I suspect YMMV again, with a possibility some will be able to purchase multiples, that is just speculation though. It depends on the store and workers it seems.

If that is the only promo provided, they dropped the ball (again) this year regarding Marvel promo figs. An unoriginal polybag and a keychain. I sure hope that proves true, and I also agree this is very early for news about a pre-order bonus.

Hard to say, I am leaning toward it being a real promo fig for retail stores in June or July. We might know more in May when the June store calender starts showing up. I hope it is real, as it would be our first real unqiue promo fig this year.

At what minute of the trailer did you see that?

Excellent creation and a fantastic addition to the CB! The Azure Angel also happens to be my favorite "model" of the Delta-7 starfighter. I think you captured it nicely in bricks, seeing as the design is very unique and streamlined.

Oh good, I have my calendar marked already.

Those are nice posters, thanks for sharing, hopefully they're teasers for a real Iron Patriot fig.

I have to say, I am very disappointed in TLG for giving us the Iron Man Drone polybag instead of a new exclusive figure. That was a missed opportunity to receive a one off minifig that has not been produced and might not ever. Forgetting the obvious Iron Patriot, it could have been one of the many new suits that will appear in the film or even a Man of Steel fig. Perhaps maybe a obscure hero, anything would have been better, especially considering the outrage over last years Comic-Con exclusive minifigs. Although, I am still looking forward to the Marvel Superheroes pregame bonus, probably Iron Patriot. Having printed arms would be a good solution. Also, since arm printing is uncommon, it would make a Winter Soldier fig even more desirable.

Great review WhiteFang. Hard to believe we have had 10 series of amazing figs released. The picture showing all the CM released to date, is very impressive. This series has some great figs to collect, I love all the historical figs and city figs. "Mr. Gold" is an interesting concept, and I am curious if he and his cane are indeed chrome gold.

IM3 comes out in May, so it is possible we will see a Marvel promo polybag that month, or it could be a DC one for MoS. I don't think other promo's have anything to do with what TLG plans to release. Might find out in April sometime when the store calender for May is released.
