Sir Gareth Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 Silver Centurion is coming out this year. Ultron was referring to next year :P. But yes there are going to be a bunch of new Iron Man suits. Can't wait! The game and the minifigure were pushed back to January Quote
Elgard Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 The game and the minifigure were pushed back to January My bad then. It's really a pitty that they did that. Quote
CM4Sci Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 The game and the minifigure were pushed back to January Why? Quote
Ultron Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 Why? I guess they needed more time on the game; one which I still need to pre order. I don't mind all of the iron men variants but I'd prefer new characters Quote
Sir Gareth Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 (edited) Why? Dunno Originally, it was supposed to be released this Fall, but then it got pushed back to this Winter in June. Now, in August, it was revealed to be coming out January 26th... which is still technically this winter Edited August 24, 2015 by Sir Gareth Quote
BrickSantorum Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 (edited) Dunno Originally, it was supposed to be released this Fall, but then it got pushed back to this Winter in June. Now, in August, it was revealed to be coming out January 26th... which is still technically this winter I spent ten years working in the games industry and saw this happen a lot. Basically, if a game can't be released in October or very early November, it usually winds up getting pushed back until after the holidays. That period between Thanksgiving and Christmas is so expensive to promote a product in, and it's hard to recoup your costs when you only have 4-5 weeks to sell to holiday shoppers. It sounds like it fell behind on its development schedule, and even if it only wound up being late by a few weeks, that was probably enough to convince them to push it until after the holidays.

just2good Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 It is Ms. Marvel, as in Carol... not a male. Quote
Ultron Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 It is Ms. Marvel, as in Carol... not a male. Carol just became Captain Marvel in the comics not too long ago... Mar-Vell (The male original Captain Marvel) is currently dead I believe. Yeah Carol got rid of Ms. Marvel's name and outfit and passed it onto Kamal Khan. So the question isn't Carol, it's which outfit we're getting Carol in. Marvel has been promoting her as Captain Marvel lately and she's appearing in Avengers Assemble as Captain Marvel so I'd assume it'd be that outfit. Quote
Legocity2713 Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 That would actually be hilarious! If it doesn't come with Supes' face, I'll be modding mine immediately. Superman's face work perfectly. If you're gonna reuse a face, now is the time. :thumbup: Quote

tafkatb Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 Yeah, if it's Carol Danvers then it's definitely gonna be the Captain Marvel version of her. Quote
dmarvin Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 On a personal note, I don't mind getting another quinjet or other vehicles. I do not like playsets in general. As you mentioned, mostly because of the lack of a backside or being too small. I'm not saying I like small playsets. I'm pulling for a substantial Marvel one is all...one that's not too small and one that looks "complete" when put together. Some playsets that didn't cost outrageous amounts yet were good were Helms Deep & Indominus Rex Breakout. Nothing like that coming first half of 2016 unfortunately. Quote

Marvel has been promoting her as Captain Marvel lately and she's appearing in Avengers Assemble as Captain Marvel so I'd assume it'd be that outfit. It is Ms. Marvel, as in Carol... not a male. I'm almost positive they'll do her in her Captain Marvel costume. First, the Captain Marvel costume is well designed and popular, while the Ms. Marvel costume is currently taboo because of its sexy nature. This goes doubly for a children's toy. Second, the whole point of AA was to make a show that better matches the movies, and she'll be Captain Marvel in the films. I hope they make sets for the eventual CM film, but given Lego's attitude to heroines, there's a chance that they won't. (Assuming I'm right) I'm grateful for getting Captain Marvel now for MCU MOCs.

Ultron Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 First, the Captain Marvel costume is well designed and popular, while the Ms. Marvel costume is currently taboo because of its sexy nature. It's no more sexy than the classic Wonder Woman costume, which we already have in Lego form. The Avengers Assemble show is more based on the comics than the films. Captain Marvel will be comic-based. Not really. The costumes and events basically are directly influenced by the films. The AA sets, however, are influenced by the comics. Which is good because the show has bad artwork. But yeah, she'll be comic based because we've yet to see her MCU costume and I doubt the designers on that show have either. Quote
Legocity2713 Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 I know we haven't seen pics of 2016 Marvel sets yet, but for anyone looking to make a MOC with Thanos and needs a separate Infinity Gem, this piece from the Friends line will work well. (Zoom in on the Flickr page for the best look at the 1x1 circular tiles) Quote
Ultron Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 You could also always just use the actual lego gem pieces since they come in all of the correct colors... But that works too! Quote

N_Cat Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 It's no more sexy than the classic Wonder Woman costume, which we already have in Lego form. Eh, I don't know. Carol has become a feminist icon on tumblr, and specifically in her current design. The old outfit is considered to be less empowering and more objectifying, at least for her. Whereas Wonder Woman has long been an icon and symbol of empowerment in her classic costume. Also, I like her newer costume more so I'm grasping at straws to justify my choice. Quote

I hope we can have both one day though. Quote
Ashnflash Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 JUST REALIZED NO MASK FOR CROSSBONES!!!!!!!!!! Quote
Amazing Bricks Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 So that most certainly means if crossbones is in a set, he will have a helmet. And I just realized, how could civil war sets be in the catalog? How did that not seem suspicious to us? Quote

Ashnflash Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 Well J2G has news about people who have seen them... Quote
DJ Bricks Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 Well J2G has news about people who have seen them... Well movie sets never, ever have prelims. Max is white boxes with set numbers. Quote
