Brickin-it

I have been looking at the hulk buster photos for a while now, thinking “am I being too harsh?” No, no I’m not. The UCS Falcon would’ve been universally panned if it was out of proportion by this much or had an overly bulbous cockpit, as would the Star Destroyer, Razor Crest etc. For this very serious amount of money this level of torso inaccuracy just doesn’t fly, whether it be to put in a play feature of it opening or not.

The proportions of the chest are way off, the arc reactor's way too low, his pecs are way too tall. Whilst this was always doubtful due to the price, a near movie accurate piece would've made it to my wishlist and I may eventually have got it. But that looks just plain wrong

Thanks! Completely forgot about the butterbeer piece, but looks like I don't own one.... Bricklink here we come...

My incognito Thor patiently waiting for somewhere to sit.... one month to go. I'm a little surprised we still have no news on either the £500 set or the mk2 Hulkbuster. I'm starting to think we may only get one of the two, if any. We aren’t too far away from BP and holiday set reveals, and 2 high value same theme sets is starting to make less and less sense

I’m thinking, with the bookcase and chair there, it might be ideal for an incognito Thor adding too, blue jeans, grey jacket, dark tan/nougat ponytail, umbrella and beerglass

I was wondering the same thing - if memory serves me correctly last years Star Wars Legocon exclusive had photo's online by now. Surely there's gotta be a sneak peak before saturday....

Hmmm, that leak man, I had my doubts as to it's legitimacy, but a new shot today (black dotted background) does look correct, and we get to see the back too. The previous one's looked iffy (maybe the poor quality images?). In which case, it's good, can't wait until we actually get a glimpse at the set - the build could make or break it for me

As someone who's already built a hall of armour display with 30 of the old style plinth and was looking forward to a third set with new figures, I'm very annoyed at the Lego redesign. The new appearance I can forgive, but changing the height too? Not exactly an easy addition anymore. I'll still get the damn thing obviously, but it's gonna be tough to work them in effectively.
