I may be in the minority here, but this wave reaks of push-pull marketing ploys to promote All-New, All-Different Marvel, while capitalizing on the popularity of the television series.

There's nothing wrong with that, TLG are trying something new here. They're going to see if those characters will sell sets, I'm sure they will.

New 52 in DC did pretty good. It was the best wave of DC Superheroes in my opinion

Am I the only one who thinks hat the builds in the Hulk set look pretty fun? They're not spectacular, yes, but they're not horrible either.

For me, the biggest offender of the Hulk set is the price. $60 for that?! This is starting to get ridiculous.

Yes to this all

So excited to get these sets! The Brick Heads come out March 1st along with the GOTG Vol 2 sets. Any chance that those Brick Heads will be GOTG based or will they be the same as the SDCC ones?

Same as the SDCC ones.

I was honestly getting that vibe myself with Ms Marvel and the Iron Man news. Still curious what Captain America will look like. At least a few months after that we have Guardians 2 to look forward to. That will give us a chance at seeing Mantis and Ego, maybe even Yondu. All three play big enough roles to warrant new figs, hopefully.

Nothing about She Hulk is an abomination! She's been a character longer than those noobs :hmpf_bad:

Sorry for unintended offensiveness. I meant the set as a whole is an abomination. I don't mind She-Hulk at all, I was just commenting on how some flow of theme in these comic sets would probably benefit ANAD fans like me.

EDIT: Which I know not everyone has to be fans of.

I forgot to add this because I forget that even when there's an age limit for the site, or an expected maturity at the least, people still act the way they do.

I wasn't saying that I'm not a fan of them, I was merely defending that She Hulk has a right to get her shot at a fig, along with the other hulks.

is it really that unusual that a company would want to promote its current products.

No way! No freaking way! We are getting, what looks to be, two All New, All Different Marvel figures and I am so, so happy. I love Kamala Khan and the new Iron Man design is sweet! I am surprised that people aren't as stoked about this news as I am. Granted, ANADM isn't for everyone, it definitely has its flaws, but I am elated.

If they make Detroit steel around hulk buster's size, then it would be a $50 set also including Lola. I doubt he'll be that huge, but $40 sounds right.

And there is nothing wrong with it. I do not think it "reaks" of self-promotion like Sir Gareth suggested because it's just a company, driven by sales, to captilize on the populatrity of LEGO to increase interest in their new comic line. It's like saying that the Civil War line reaked of a marketing ploy because it was selling characters from a popular movie.

I'm more into classic characters, but Kamala Khan sounds great, especially with that new arm thing she has going on. Hopefully it turns out really cool. I'm more concerned about how the Super Adaptoid looks..if he follows the AA look, I don't think it will be a very good fig. He's really ugly and bland in that show. I'd like the green classic version, personally. But if it does turn out badly, it won't be too much of a loss because the character is too obscure for me to care about. Detroit Steel has potential. I only care about the Hulk set for the figs. Vehicle sets DO NOT interest me, unless they're really well crafted. My display just doesn't have room for them. I prefer a good location set.

Yeah, I also quite enjoy the classic characters, hence why I'm excited for the Hulk set, but it's so surprising and exciting to get new ones as well!

So, I'm a bit confused now - correct me if I'm wrong! :classic:

Winter:

Lola set - 40$: Phil Coulson, All new All different Iron Man, Detroit Steel, Ms. Marvel (Kamala Khan)

??? set - 20$: Captain America (Sam Wilson), Super Adaptoid, ???

Hulk vs. Red Hulk set - 60$: Classic Hulk, She-Hulk, Red Hulk, Red She-Hulk

Spring:

3 GoTG sets - ???

I'm confused too.. I thought the Cap in the Cap set was normal Cap not Sam Cap :laugh: if you're following that!

I believe its like this:

Lola set - Coulson, Iron Man, Detroit Steel (no bigfig)

Jet set - Captain America (not Sam Wilson), Ms Marvel, Super Adaptoid

There are two trains of thought on the matter: after hearing the most recent set information many were led to believe that Steve Rogers Captain America was the one we'd be receiving because Captain America was described as being seated in a jet, a vehicle unnecessary to a winged character, but after hearing information that we'd be getting two All New, All Different Marvel characters other assumed that Sam Wilson Captain America would be included because he is the All New Captain America.

Any word on builds besides Detroit Steel and Lola in that respective set? I don't see two minifigures and a Buildable figure warranting $40.

I'm hoping it's $30! And I'm guessing that there could be a 3rd fig as well; probably a generic minifig as Detroit Steel's pilot.

I am especially stoked for Kamala Khan because my girlfriend looks just like her :-D

Perhaps there still a chance that this version of Cap is Sam Wilson, but he can be without wings or wings can be included in this set. Remember Cap. Marvel in the recent Avenjet set - she was sitting in this jet while there was no need for her as long as she can fly in space herself. I guess if we follow this logic Sam Wilson can either seat in the jet but still fly with his wings, which will be included in the set. Or there will just be his un-winged version.
