Clone OPatra Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 We don't condone the purchasing of knock-offs on Eurobricks. End of story. What everyone does with their money is their business, but keep the promotion of buying knock-offs out of here. Thanks.
Scarilian Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 Here is a better look at the non-QRS/ATS core Avengers.

It is also not 'counterproductive' to the goals people have expressed. Everyone wanted additional figures/sets so why not buy the additional figures/sets that are being produced by knock-off's given we are never going to get more Captain Marvel sets based on her current movie? It is quite simply the only option to get a majority of these characters. 7 years of doing this changed nothing. Buying sets you are not happy with will just encourage them to make more sets like that set OR they will see demand and think they can reduce the quality as the sets are performing well anyway. What i am trying to say is even if an additional set is planned it will not deliver every missing figure that we should have gotten in this wave and it will be released months after Endgame - once the hype has already dissipated and we are looking towards the next wave of MCU movies I'd just like to be able to have the core Avengers in the Endgame outfits before the movie, to experience the hype of the film and then be able to come back and MOC some of my favourite scenes or have a recreation of a sequence of the film. I cannot do that with just the QRS/ATS that may not even be featured in the movie. lego doesn't have big lego marvel sales, and can't waste money on satisfying a small group of people that will just move on to something else to complain about. If the theme did better, it'd get more printing/molds/etc. Look at star wars and ninjago, higher-quality because they sell better. I don't want to touch into the knockoffs again but buying things from people who deliberately and malicously imitate intellectual property/licensed IPs/patents? That isn't even legal, much less morally right. Also, the ATS suits are clearly going to be in the movie. 3 hours ago, Scarilian said: Here is a better look at the non-QRS/ATS core Avengers. Thx. I'm not as mad about not getting thor or widow as minor purist changes fix most of these guy's appearances to endgame standards, but we definitely needed a ronin and scale armor cap, and I still don't get what they were thinking with hulk besides "An ATS suit would look weird as he has molded shorts already"

I stand by my original claims that it is so boring to have ALL of the avengers figs to have to same body (besides hulk and the iron man suits). Hulk himself needed a new colored body for his suit
Bricky Dee Williams Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 Hey everyone! A bit of a blast from the past, but The Brick Fan is reporting that certain GameStop locations have copies of Iron Patriot and Silver Centurion to give away with purchases of the Marvel Collection Definitely worth looking into as each can go for around $25-$30 USD

This could the shot to get the arms of Silver Centurion for Mark 5!
Fenghuang0296 Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 You lucky Americans . . why couldn't ebGames have the surplus of Silver Centurions and Iron Patriots? I can live without Patriot, but I want the Centurion so much . .

The AoU version and this use the smooth mould reserved for other characters. They couldn’t even be asked to print on the toes like in 2015

I can live without Patriot, but I want the Centurion so much . . I knew about the surplus of Iron Patriots, they gave them away as a stand-in for Silver Centurion in some places. But it’s possible there’s been another production run of the Silver Centurion, because those sold out fast. I remember hearing many people that pre-ordered a copy of LEGO Marvel’s Avengers in 2016 didn’t even get one because of poor distribution. Edited March 13, 2019 by Aegis2000

lego_guyon02 Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 A little bit off-topic but it has just been revealed the Disney-Fox deal is finished, Fox will officially be a Disney property as of March 20th (next week)

Disney could have allowed this all along as they always had the toy rights to the X-men and Fantastic 4 but didn't have the films rights so never wanted to promote them but now they have the film rights, the chances of us getting Lego sets based on these characters are very good.

Just had to ask. Obviously won’t work out as well everywhere but worth a shot.

Can't wait for Fantastic Four and X-men sets again, wether from the MCU or comics-based. Now all we need is an excuse for lego to get a normal deadpool in a normal set. 7 hours ago, SpiderJazz said: I'm going to use Silver Centurion arms for Mark 5, Tin Man arms for Mark 1.

I wonder what's the problem.
