Also, people have been saying it was from a guy who has faked leaks in the past. Also, from a business decision, I don't see why they'd put not only the Black suit in a figure pack, but give such a cheap alternative for the actual sets. Exactly. They purposely made the photo bad quality so we couldn't tell that it was the mighty micros flash head on a normal spider-man, and putting the black and red suit in a $15 lego store-only pack and not in the stark jet is not only waay to nice for lego, as we never get really desired figures in cheap sets, but also a bad decision because the store-only pack won't be seen by as many people as the wide release sets, so the draw of the ditko suit isn't as helpful.
Fenghuang0296 Posted May 9, 2019 Posted May 9, 2019 Has anyone living in Melbourne seen any of the FFH sets? The Toy Story and Lego Movie 2 ones have been trickling in, but I haven't seen any of the Far From Home ones yet. Is there a reason for this?
ApocSlay Posted May 9, 2019 Posted May 9, 2019 Went into ToyWorld and they suggested we have another month and a bit before we see them in NZ, possibly the same for Aus too

I know what you mean but again I have to mention the Desert Knightmare Batman which was both exclusive and a damn nice fig. They could have easily made a figure like that harder to come by. So it's not unheard of. Spider-Man is as popular as Batman, and it looks like the MCU is making him the new poster boy, so why wouldn't LEGO make as many variations of him as possible? As for it being a cheaper alternative to the sets you have to remember that LEGO doesn't make the sets based on people only wanting the figures. Of course they try to make the figs as appealing as possible but the main goal is that they make a set which people of all ages will love to build and play with. I'm not getting my hopes up because I know how unreliable leaks can be, however I don't think it's impossible at all 9 hours ago, Mandalorianknight said: Exactly.

Also, I’m pretty sure Maria Hill’s torso is exclusive. People have been saying its Banner’s but Banner’s shows his skin. I'm not so sure I agree about Maria's torso being exclusive but it would be nice if it is. I hope the pack is real but I won't hold my breath Edited May 9, 2019 by legoSDR
legoSDR Posted May 9, 2019 Posted May 9, 2019 I'm sure everyone has noticed that the new Captain America Helmet has a small hole in the top like some of the LEGO Friends hairpieces. Does anyone think this might be reused in red with a piece to stick in the top for a flight mode version of Captain Marvel? Or maybe even in green for her original suit in her movie If there was ever going to be a bricktober pack or sixth Endgame set I wouldn't mind seeing something like that

I’m not a big fan of Captain Marvel as a character, but the look is awesome and I’ve always wanted them to make a helmet piece for her. They really should do an exclusive polybag of her in her green Kree suit, people would go nuts over it
The NexoNinja402 Posted May 9, 2019 Posted May 9, 2019 remember people, the captain america helmet is the very similar to the one used on the ultron and ultron sentries from 2015

Yes, but desert knightmare batman wasn't a figure who was prominantly featured in merchandise, more of a fringe variant, unlike the ditko suit. And I guarantee lego marvel puts more desirable figures in more expensive sets to get more people to buy them. Thanos, 2016 captain marvel, ultimate ultron, hulk, etc. 37 minutes ago, The NexoNinja402 said: remember people, the captain america helmet is the very similar to the one used on the ultron and ultron sentries from 2015 Yeah it's like the same piece but with more at the back. When the ultron helmet piece came out I thought it would have been perfect for captain america.

Ditko suit also isn't that prominantly featured in merchandise, it seems to be all about the Iron Spider and Stealth suits

Then again, the only marvel merch i really collect is lego, (maybe ill get a Spoiler stark gauntlet replica though), so maybe I'm missing something and a google image search isn't showing the full story. At any rate, I feel like it's certainly a more desirable suit than the desert knightmare batman, which had what, a minute or two of screen time?
The NexoNinja402 Posted May 10, 2019 Posted May 10, 2019 Just another thing, a action figure leaked of rescue (very detailed), and it has "049" on one of its armor flaps, so i guess rescue is iron man mark 49

Wasn't he still building the suit in Endgame? So why isn't it mark 51 or higher
Whovastron Posted May 10, 2019 Posted May 10, 2019 For anyone like me who wants a Pegasus for Valkyrie, the Harry Potter summer sets have get ya covered!
Huigberts Builds Posted May 10, 2019 Posted May 10, 2019 For anyone who's not happy with MJ's torso in the far from home sets, the new stranger things set has a figure in it (I believe she's called Joyce) with a torso that could work really well for Far From Home's MJ. And Eleven has a torso that could work for Betty Brant (as seen in the far from home trailer) altough she wears some kind of jacket so it's not completely accurate, still with CMF Alice hair you would come pretty far.

So we are then to assume that Tony made rescue before his own mk 50? That he worked on Pepper's anniversary gift for 6 years? It just doesn't seem plausible to me that rescue is the mk 49

Yeah but I still don't understand why the essential mk 50 recolor for pepper would then have been made before the mk 50, his own nanotech suit. I know he cares about Pepper, but it seems really out of character for him to make a suit for her before his own since she wasn't really a superhero and in fact wanting him to stop and have a family.
TheGlynreaper Posted May 11, 2019 Posted May 11, 2019 I love all 3 far from home sets I was surprised at how many minifigures you can put into the stark jet

Didn't she have that whole giant laser thing on her back at one point like the mk 85? (I don't know if there's screencaps yet but actionflash's custom figure has the thing I'm talking about.)
