[agoodfella77]

What gave the indication that it would be an expansion?

Has TLG ever done a similar expansion set in another theme?

Nice, good to know thanks!

Hehe, Modular Buildings, anyone? Sorry.

But don't forget the numerous Harry Potter Hogwarts build-togethers from the first year.

[RobParker]

They just started to market some spider-man related civil war stuff with new tv spots, this makes me think that the 4th civil war set will be revealed soon because they now feel like they can market him more (spidey was in TV spot 30 and TV spot 32)

Haha, yeah, I was thinking more licensed sets, but LOTR, HP, etc. yup seems like there is more than enough precedent here, would be pretty cool to get one.

And as of next week, in the latest TV spot 82, don't need no movie no more, just TV spots

One of the smaller Nexo Knights sets is literally just a castle wall that hooks up to Fortex's castle mode.

I can definitely see the set having an add-on to the building in the airport battle, and maybe another small vehicle of some sort.

Lord knows Lego loves their vehicles vehicles! My only concern if it's an add on is who else is due to appear? We've only seen the teams go at it so far in the trailer (so Hawkeye is there..) but as of yet we haven't seen Zemo etc at the airport so it may well be another area all together. We pretty much know nothing at all. Either way I'll find out what the full deal is with the airport battle on Saturday!! Wheeeeeeeeey.

next week the movie comes out, they've been showing the same scenes over and over,the only new things are spider-man joking around at the airport battle

Nice, good to know thanks!

The Airport set doesn't seem to be modular as far as I can see, after owning it for almost 2 months. There's no connection points like some other modular sets had, so if it is addition to airport scene, than its probably something like part of passanger terminal or something like that.

Maybe a terminal, an actual jet or a bus

Although this wouldn't be a traditional modular design, they could attach a smaller structure to the other end of the fence.

Lake Town and... ?

Can't wait for Spidey now actually, i like his look much better!

[benderisgreat]

it's possible but unlikely. If Spider-Man tv spot showed anything it's that some part of battle will take place in passengers terminal. And it's usually not connected to control tower, so they can make part of terminal which will be added to the scene, but won't be modular.

[Captain Nemo]

This is all just speculation based on 30 second TV spots--which for the record should not be discussed here; take that to the MCU Discussion Forum.

All rumors show this 4th set won't come out for some time, presumably not until August. There's no need to speculate on what it will contain now, considering the movie itself has yet to be released. Instead, let's focus on the sets on the shelves please. Thanks!

I snagged a captain america motorcycle bag at TRU today. The motorcycle is neat, the cap is clearly a repeat. Additionally, the little "rocket" on the sidecar is prone to falling off if turned upside down or at an angle. Overall not bad for the price though if you're missing the minifig or (like myself) got a red/pink/blue Cap shield in a civil war set. In spite of the repeat fig, i'd still recommend.

[Duncan Young]

Has anyone noticed it appears to be "the cartoon" or "real life image"of the web warrior bridge in the background of the Doc Ock set?

Yeah, its pretty cool when they do little things like that. I just really love the box art of the Doc Ock set overall. The blue makes the set really pop.

That said, the set is overall "meh" but I really like the figs.

[HawkLord]

Buildingwon - Can I ask if you found this in a TRU in the US? I thought the Cap polybag was only available through the Lego store next month.

I had no idea TRU is carrying them already. So happy!

I already have the unmasked version so a masked version couldn't hurt. Plus I really love that torso. Best Captain America fig version. Period.

Me too, Brickset has that version listed as "detailed!"

Except the movie is out.

The movie releases in some markets this week, but fourth set speculation will remain just that: speculation.

As a general reminder to everyone, this thread is to remain SPOILER FREE. If you've got spoilers to discuss, take them to Culture & Multimedia. In here, I don't even want to see spoiler tags - just keep it elsewhere until several weeks after the film has been released in all markets.
