Marvel Superheroes 2018 - Set Discussion

[ToaDraco]

I thought surely the rumors of a ucs Hulkbuster were false but I must say it looks pretty good if not a bit lacking in accuracy It's unfortunate it isn't based on the updated version but what are ya gonna do? Depending on the price I might pick one up but I have a lot on my plate already.

Super disappointed that it’s a Hulkbuster set; I’m more than happy with the already released AoU Hulkbuster, and the upcoming IW version.

Seems like a waste of an opportunity for a larger play set-style set.

[TAFOL]

Does anyone know how much the UCS Hulkbuster is going to cost? I'm hoping for €100,- or less, but I don't want to get my hopes up. 

[Whovastron]

Hmmm..people keep saying it’s an odd choice an Avengers tower or facility is a better choice or more iconic. Really? The Hulkbuster is a very popular and iconic thing from the comics and was definitely one of the biggest talking points from both Age of Ultron and now Infinity War. And it got supporters on Ideas so this makes complete sense to me.

also I’ve seen one person say the head is oversized, and one day it’s undersized, not sure what to make of that. It there you go

I believe I was the one to say it was too small but that was because I was looking at a fan made one that someone was trying to pass off as a USC. I was trying to find out if that was the one people were referring to as I was able to confirm it was fan made, thius I wanted to debunk a possible false rumor. However after being corrected I later found the one everyone else is talking about and it is 100% real and the head is not too small

I happen to also disagree with those that say the head is too large, although there are other problems in that the legs are too thin and the torso is oddly proportioned (the upper section is wider than the lower section giving it an odd look IMO)

I think the pictures they’ve used for the box art are very misleading for the legs. The ‘hologram’ style silhouette of the suit on the back of the box at the bottom shows the legs to be much more in proportion than they appear in the main images, not perfect, but acceptable in my opinion.

I just think odd choice because we are getting one with IW sets around the same time, sure its iconic but why produce two different sets on the same thing? 

[Hulk_Smash]

Maybe it's just the first in a series of sets celebrating 10 years of The MCU?

Either way I think it looks awesome and I want it and will try to get it, just need to know how much it is now.

UCS Millennium Falcon is on shelves at the same time at the TFA Falcon, and soon the Solo Falcon. Same goes for the UCS TIE Fighter. It’s a large scale version of a different variant of the armour so it doesn’t really Clash that much

Let's not fool ourselves: the hulkbuster is NOT the millennium falcon nor a TIE fighter. It is much less iconic. This is not a solid comparison.

Yeah but the Millennium Falcon and TIE Fighter are both way more iconic then the hulkbuster, they have been around way longer and are well known

Guess that Quinjet idea doesn’t seem too bad now?

I wouldn't mind a USC Quinjet if its minifig scale

Honestly we shouldn't have to mod a UCS set..it should already be accurate given the piece and price of the set. 

The set is unfortunately a mess, it's somewhat fixable but will require a lot of Bricklinking and a lot of redesigning effectively everything - something i will be attempting. It does have some simple fixes such as getting rid of the silver/gray elements that are unnecessarily added onto the set for no reason along with covering up some of the studs and fixing the gold pieces on the arms to be curved/smooth. Though you are completely correct, for the pricing we shouldn't have to be making a D2C accurate, it should have already been accurate. It's a shame Lego has dropped the ball so hard on creating the Hulkbuster.

The rumored price was $160 =/ Either way, wont be buying at full price.

Honestly, yeah. This is a rather bad D2C set. Nothing is proportional to the official version, the best designed aspect is the legs and even they are randomly covered in silver, seemingly no knee articulation and can only move outwards.

I would’ve preferred a Quinjet to this. At least then we could’ve gotten some new figures and even if we didn’t we probably would’ve gotten the main Avengers team which is always nice to get. Plus, the Quinjet is a really nice and sleek design and would have lots of interior space for figures as a UCS style set. This Hulkbuster just isn’t worth the $160 and it doesn’t even come with all the figures it should come with (where’s the Hulk??). 

[Hoth Rebel]

If the Hulkbuster is 2000 pieces everybody would be all over it’s cheap price. Most out of scale UCS sets also come with 1-2 figures and sell perfectly fine. 

Just wait until we get official set info before jumping to conclusions.

I agree Im so disappointed theres no big battle style set featuring thanos and all his minions battling some of the avengers the only set with thanos is the Milano set which slightly annoys me , I feel they went with UCS Hulkbuster was to appease LEGO Ideas people

We've seen the official set and it looks a mess - granted if it is 2000 pieces for $160 then people would probably buy it for the cheap price... but they wouldn't buy it for the set's design. The sets design should be what sells the set - if not it is effectively a glorified parts pack.

Just a thought, is it possible the 7th IW set is actually an Ant-Man and the Wasp set?

We’ve seen the front and back of the box made by a potato camera. I like the Hulkbuster more than the Sanctorum set while more people like that set. 

Sets look better in person or at least in pictures like how the IW sets ‘leaked’.

This is gonna be really unpopular with children. Why beg your parents for an expensive outdated Hulkbuster set with one minifig when you could instead ask for a much cheaper version that includes several figures and helps build the gauntlet.

That's because they look good. The Hulkbuster does not.

Exactly, this set will likely be a total failure financially.
