SpiderJazz Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 I just realized that Jafar's cape (from Disney CMS2) works perfect for Thor's cape in both IW and EG especially the color scheme.

All the suits are so colorful and great looking. MK 5 has amazing printing. Edited March 29, 2019 by Legocity2713

You know as a long time lurker I didn’t think I’d be seeing my own stuff popping up haha. The new suits are indeed amazing. I ended up removing the side builds with the stud shooter and blender to add all the current MCU suits. They really look fantastic all lined up! Edited March 29, 2019 by Jdbrickstudios

shadefoundry Posted March 29, 2019 Posted March 29, 2019 (edited) So I know it's been discussed a bit here already, but I'm finding more and more that the hashtag on instagram for leaks is starting to become a cesspool of non-lego related posts. I made an Instagram account just to browse that hashtag and its at the point now that I'm having to block 2 - 3 new people every day just to sift out all the garbage. What's the deal with this new influx of trash in that community? Is this a regular thing that happens whenever a new wave of Marvel sets is coming or is this more of a "morons have discovered the hashtag and are now abusing it" thing?

That's what they used with Hot Toys and movie scenes as well.

They’re claiming it’s a revolution because they’re tired of people telling them to stop abusing the hashtag so now they’re doing it on purpose. So basically it’s a “morons have discovered the hashtag and are now abusing it” thing.

Like don't get me wrong some of the guys in that community take this stuff way too seriously, but still it's just annoying.

Every image I can find of Thor with his cape from infinity war has a black inner cape, although that might just be shadows. Either way I think it'll look pretty good.

Off-topic aspects have always been a thing on Legoleaks, originally it was somewhat related to Lego though with posts containing customs, knock-off's or self-mocs generally being accepted by most. About a month or so ago corporations and individuals started using the Legoleaks hashtag to promote themselves - this extended to a Jurassic World account spamming photo's of dinosaurs and trying to promote the DVD release of the film. The community started to band together and started nicely asking for them to stop using the hashtag and thanks to a combination of that and reporting the offending posts it helped clear Legoleaks to be just related to Lego. Fairly recently a group of people looking to provoke a reaction have been spamming Legoleaks with off-topic material purposely to promote a reaction - they are not doing it for any other reason and they are intentionally trying to destroy the Legoleaks community for fun because they are simply trolls. Your best option is to report and block them without interacting with them. They want a reaction and attention. 28 minutes ago, Digger of Bricks said: Check out Mysterio's helmet on Mr. Freeze!

Right now, Dastan from Prince of Persia ideal, coz he's Jake Gyllenhaal? But once the Harry Potter sets hits the shelves, I'll be replacing cap's head to sirius, and gave cap head to Mysterio. (Sirius hair is also perfect for Bucky) Edited March 29, 2019 by SpiderJazz

You keep suggesting that but none of the spacemen in your pictures are bald which this one would have to be :P (It'd still work though I'm just being daft) I wonder what it'd look like to have the sandy cheeks helm over this one?

So, when a hairpiece isn't necessary, Mysterio's helmet can be best paired with a head similar to CMF/TS4's Buzz Lightyear's, as so to depict a '50s Bubble-Helmeted Spaceman wearing a "headsock" with their helmet.

Don't you know? All spacemen have to shave their heads because of . . pressure! And . . science reasons! And . . the hair-eating aliens that live on Mars and are secretly fighting @Digger of Bricks's spacemen for control of the Moon!

Removing the blender build as well leaves you with space to place a figure, it’s only the outer left side that you’d have modify. I also added the window pieces with Mark 6/7 stickers from Malibu Mansion to the back too. They look really neat!
lego_guyon02 Posted March 30, 2019 Posted March 30, 2019 A new summercatalog has leaked with an enormous amount of new setpictures. Sadly for us this catalog confirms the current Endgame and FFH sets will be the last MCU sets for this year, so no wave 2 for Endgame

Culmination of the MCU, and they give us what looks like a scrapped Iron Man 3 set, a bunch of repetitive figures and mediocre to bad builds.
