I saw he'll be sporting a new headdress in a upcoming movie. Isn't this the kind of thing LEGO is always waiting for to introduce a new version of a minifigure? A budget thing or a creative decision? Probably budget? There's almost exclusively new prints in this wave, and a lot of new molds, too. I'd say that had a lot to do with it, that and the fact that they could get away with not doing it. I would've at least liked to have that new crown-y thing printed on the head, but I guess the head's more versatile the way it is. Quote

Yea budget cut is the answer, they won't be using it on the other themes so they have to re use the existing helm mold tho it's not accurate. Quote
benderisgreat Posted July 4, 2017 Posted July 4, 2017 I think Loki looks better with hair instead of helmet anyway. In my opinion the biggest disappointment with Loki is lack of leg prints. Quote
Kim-Kwang-Seok Posted July 4, 2017 Posted July 4, 2017 Does anyone here know if the Spider-Man and Thor II sets will release in Europe/Germany? I didn't found them anywhere till now. Since I never found the Batman desert set and the Dr. Strange set last year in any store, I fear for the worst... Quote

The Batman and Doctor Strange sets were exclusives that is probably the reason why you couldn't find them. The Spiderman and Thor sets aren't exclusives, so you will probably find them. Also, the Thor sets don't release until August 1st. Edited July 4, 2017 by Franklinw1234 Quote
Hoth Rebel Posted July 4, 2017 Posted July 4, 2017 The Spider-Man and Thor sets are available in Lego stores EU since June 1st, but for some reason they're not on Amazon.de (they are on ITA and UK amazon). Does anyone know why Amazon DE (prime) doesn't have these sets in stock? Quote

benderisgreat Posted July 5, 2017 Posted July 5, 2017 After buying Arena battle set I can say without a doubt it's the worst 2017 Marvel set! It does not even deserve an Arena title, it's just a few walls! I highly suggest everyone to not waste your money on this set and just Bricklink Hulk and other minifigures. And out of 490 pcs around 100 are 1x1 and 1x2 tiles and plates! Honestly Battle for Asgard is a better set overall. Quote

See, I would like to encourage everyone to do the exact opposite: Buy two of the set so you can complete the Arena circle, and sell off the second set of minifigs. ...because I'm planning to skip it and just buy the figs on BL, and it'd be really helpful if the rest of you did that to drive the prices down. Thanks! Quote
tafkatb Posted July 5, 2017 Posted July 5, 2017 I'm going to buy dozens - no, hundreds - no, thousands of Arena Battles, so that TLG sees that sets like it sell really well and they will make more of them. Then I'm going to eat the minifigures. Quote

GoldenNinja3000 Posted July 5, 2017 Posted July 5, 2017 I think the arena is fine. Overpriced for sure, but is there anyone here who honestly expected anything more than a few walls in a semicircle? I'm going to buy one at full price with my VIP points, and then buy one or two more without figures to complete the arena. I think that the Thor sets are getting too much hate- they're each a bit overpriced, but the builds are good for what they are and will appeal to kids who are the target market. I am hoping that we get some better builds next year, though. Quote

That does seem fair. Also, if you would care for a side dish, I will trade you some macaroni and cheese for a Grandmaster. And I have apple pie a la mode for dessert, for one of the other thousands of Hulks. PM me for shipping details and heating instructions. Edited July 6, 2017 by rob-ot5000 I misspelled dessert :( Quote
