Sir Gareth Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 (edited) So far (if the various nods and winks around here are to be taken seriously) the ghost rider set because Mysterio was sort of hinted at... It's not... Edited January 19, 2016 by Sir Gareth Quote
Ultron Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 It's not... Well....bridge set it is then. *cries internally* Quote
namioik Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 It's not... Do you have an idea who the villain is? Quote
Numbuh1Nerd Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 That Venom symbiote is soooo weird. I don't know if it's good weird or bad weird yet, though. I can't really find any use for 5 Venom heads, but I'm surprised that this wasn't just a Spidey figure and one of those black blobs included with that Venom/Nick Fury set. Quote
CM4Sci Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 Why are you guys saying it's bad? It's supposed to be a giant black blob of scariness. Quote
Legocity2713 Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 (edited) It's not... Last I heard it wasn't a Sinister Six member. So... is it Hobgoblin or Green Goblin? ... Or none of the above? Edited January 19, 2016 by Legocity2713 Quote
NXS7 Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 If not Mysterio, I'd place money (I mean I would, I really want a Ghost Rider) on having Jack O'Lantern. Could easily reuse the Scooby Doo pumpkin head and maybe a trans orange head (like Ultrons) for a fire effect Quote
Sir Gareth Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 (edited) Last I heard it wasn't a Sinister Six member. ^This. I don't know anything about the villain beyond that. Also, note that the logo on the Symbiote polybag is just Spider-Man, and not Ultimate Spider-Man... Is LEGO broadening the context of the Spider-Man sets in order to allow the insertion of more non-cartoon-based characters and designs, like the inclusion of both the Gemini and Hammerhead armors in this January's Avengers wave?

Is LEGO broadening the context of the Spider-Man sets in order to allow the insertion of more non-cartoon-based characters and designs, like the inclusion of both the Gemini and Hammerhead armors in this January's winter wave? Although that's optimistic I wouldn't look too deep into the art. Example of them changing art would be the logo for avengers back in 2012 then in 2015 they used real looking avengers in-lieu of Lego style minifigures for the logo. There was also an xmen wolverine logo in 2012 and in 2014 they updated it with cyclops and storm. All and all my point is that it's just a logo and nothing more Quote

All and all my point is that it's just a logo and nothing more All quite true, but in both of your examples, the updated artwork played significance, as it reflected new designs, whether it was the film characters themselves or the actual minifigures. So, my question is, why did LEGO invest in new logos for both the previously labeled Avengers Assemble and Ultimate Spider-Man set lines, especially considering both shows are still on the air and perfectly suitable logos are already available? It's just something to keep in mind. Edited January 19, 2016 by Sir Gareth Quote
Only Sinner Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 I am missing Iron Fist and Power Man, too... Did not ever think the aftermarket price would be THAT high for Iron Fist Now I think it's too expensive for a "not that special" minifigure. Need to get Power Man, soon - hope his price doesn't go too high. Well, Iron Fist came in a crap set that nobody liked, same as Juniors Goblin. When the set is so bad (almost all USM sets), the only reason to buy it is for the minifigs, the prices seem to keep pretty high for those.I don't plan on skipping nearly as many Marvel sets as I did before, simply because the new ones seem to be getting increasingly better.

SoupOrFishOil Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 I think that is my favorite polybag ever. Quote
Bricky Dee Williams Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 Woohoo! So many venom heads! Also, return of the infamous Super Jumper! I for one love the crazy look of the symbiote and the multiple discount Venoms one will now be able to make. Oh, and yay, I guess, another un-leg-printed Spidey. Also, white tiger is supposed to be in the doc ock set. Wooohooooooooo! Now I just need Iron Fist... Thanks man! Quote
Dr.Cogg Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 The only part I don't like of the venom poly bag is venom's torso. Quote

Bricky Dee Williams Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 You're welcome :) we'll finally have the full team now when white tiger comes out! Not to mention the Web Warriors from the comics coming! Quote
Legocity2713 Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 I really want to buy 5 Venom torsos now to have a bunch of figures of him. Tons of symbiote MOCs to be expected online from everyone now I'm sure. Quote
wesleydoogan Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 Hoping to see more polybags for super heroes coming up. We always get a spidey one but why not a avengers, civil war or maybe even dr strange x Also I received a winter soldier polybag I hadn't ordered in a box of Star Wars stuff I ordered from Lego just before Christmas. Has this happened to anyone else before? Quote
BlueberryWaffles Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 (edited) Just caught up with the thread. -2099 Spidey sounds awesome! Excited for White Tiger too, I was hoping the phone would finish the team. -That polybag is straight up bizarre. I need one. Or two. Edited January 20, 2016 by BlueberryWaffles Quote
rob-ot5000 Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 (edited) The first thing I thought of when seeing that Venom polybag was this old Venom miniseries. Anyone else? http://static.comicv.../3415744-02.jpg or http://www.4thletter.net/gavok/venom/kitty.jpg Also, @wesleydoogan, a Winter Soldier sounds WAY better than the freebie Nexo guy or the Yularen that some people got. Super-strange, though! Edited January 20, 2016 by rob-ot5000 Quote

Anyone else? http://static.comicv.../3415744-02.jpg I had the exact same thought, it's obvious they based the polybag off of that. Overall a great polybag. Quote
wesleydoogan Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 Ah they must throw left over polybags into christmas orders then. Looks like I lucked out with Winter Soldier as I needed him and didnt fancy buying the Helicarrier which is how you got it in the UK! Quote
kevkipo Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 Amazingbricks, thanks for all the news lately, you do a great job of making folks here happy! Do you maybe know anything about other Summer / Upcoming sets (Besides Spiderman)? Quote
IMBATMAN Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 Amazingbricks, thanks for all the news lately, you do a great job of making folks here happy! Do you maybe know anything about other Summer / Upcoming sets (Besides Spiderman)? Namely the 4th CW set (cmon Vision and hopefully Hawkeye) Quote
Dr Axels Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 I am eager to know who the villain will be in the rumored Ghost Rider set. Any rumors on that? Quote
