Lego would probably spread them out I mean 3 desirable figures is a lot, just one or two more would be nominal in comparison. Plus given the amount of other characters in this movie there are sure to be other awesome exclusive figs in other sets

Legos core audience are children who more than likely don’t look for those things in their figures. Since kids don’t care about arm printing Lego isn’t going to put it onto all figures because it cause it means more money that they would be spending per set. This would mean that they couldn’t make as many sets which means that they would loose out on money since some kids don’t like Marvel and would prefer to get sets from other themes. LEGO therefore does things to keep their market buying their products and shouldn’t be called lazy because they don’t do what you want. You aren’t the one keeping LEGO afloat. If you don’t like the lack of arm printing then don’t by the sets. Yeah, all iam saying is my opinion. And i gues i sm entitled to have it. So please respect that even though that you not agree. Ok?
GoldenNinja3000 Posted January 27, 2019 Posted January 27, 2019 I’d love for Rescue to be in the Armor Room set but @Ultron is most likely correct. They aren’t going to put so many desirable figures in one set. I wouldn’t be surprised if her and Ronin are exclusive to the biggest set. Obviously we don’t know what role Pepper will play while suited up, which makes it harder to predict the set she comes in, but I really hope she gets a figure as detailed as the rest of the armors.

We’re getting three suits that we never expected to see especially due to the fact that they aren’t in the movies anymore, with detailed head to toe printing and new colors for parts, and yet there’s still complaints of laziness. Not every minifigure can have arm printing. I’d rather have three suits with detailed torsos and legs than one or two suits with side arm printing and side leg printing. That is the point of critique. Comparing those armors to other recent figs, these should definitelly be with arm print as well. Just my opinion. Thats all.

It’s quite rare for Iron Man figures to get an arm print. As far as I remember, the only ones with it are Silver Centurion and War Machine Mark IV, which are both limited edition promotional minifigures. And Marvel characters don’t usually get arm printing at all. MCU Spider-Man is the only character to get consistent arm printing across all versions. So there’s nothing to really compare it to and not a huge precedent to expect arm print. They would look better with it but budget constraints exist and we’re already getting very highly detailed exclusive suits, so it’s unfair to call Lego lazy for the lack of arm printing.
KevinMD Posted January 27, 2019 Posted January 27, 2019 (edited) Tony has to be in it. And Jarvis if it’s flashback / time travel. Would love to see a hulk buster or similar but seems unlikely. would really love the mk2 armor also. Edited January 27, 2019 by KevinMD Err

So he is incredibly unlikely to receive a minifig if that is what you meant

Unfair for you, not for me. I see it differently. A man can compare to other series, such as TLM2, TLNM, SW and so on. I wont argue with you. I simply miss arm prints on those armors, at least on MK 5 same as I miss proper helmet on MK 1 because that one used is simply terrible and not accurate. Saying that I thing that there is no point to argue. Edited January 27, 2019 by Blazej_Holen

They have to go all out with their own movies, that's why we got 20 sets for one movie in the same month, and all of them had great minifigures with dual molding, leg and arm printing and new pieces.

Of course, this is also probably why DC tends to get preferential treatment over Marvel; cross-brand synergy with Batman and Warner Bros.

Scarilian Posted January 27, 2019 Posted January 27, 2019 (edited) In regards to printing - can understand both sides. The figure is detailed enough to feel like it is complete however as a result of the detail and of the mindset that a completed figure includes arm printing also, it feels a bit unfinished. Arm printing would have made them the 'perfect' versions of these suits and elevated them from 'great' to 'amazing'. Going from detail to non-detail is always tricky on a figure and for some the arms may feel lacklustre as a result. Personally i am probably going to use arms from Silver Centurion for the Mark 5 and hope for a black/gold dual molded arm in the future for the Mark 41. *In game both the Mark 5 and the Mark 1 had arm printing, so they definitely had inspiration for the designs they could have used. 8 hours ago, SpiderJazz said: So Bois, who do you think will be the 4th or 5th figure in this set? Any guesses? I'd hope for the Mark 2 and Tony Stark wearing the Mark 3 or Mark 4 suit, however i am expecting Tony Stark (Upgrade to Malibu Mansion version with different hair and leg printing) and Bruce Banner.

I have my opinion which is my right, you have yours even though i dont understand you. Lets respect each other. What @THELEGOBATMAN was probably trying to say is that LEGO puts more of a budget into the sets for their movies because they need to be more appealing to sell to children unlike marvel or star wars since they are more popular and easier to sell. Therefore it is better to compare to the other licensed themes where most of the figures don’t get arm printing. It isn’t yet a norm for figures to have so I don’t know why you were expecting them to. While the people on here may respect your opinion, which I do, LEGO does not because they again don’t make these sets for you. The three Iron man suits still look good and is already generous for giving suits from past movies. You shouldn’t judge them until you have them in hand. As the old saying goes “beggers can’t be choosers” meaning that if you buy the sets or figures online than you don’t have footing to complain about quality and therefore it would be advisable to not buy them.

Snip** Mark 2 in complete Silver? Hmmm. I wish that too. An updated Tony Stark is also welcome. I'd be happy to get a sunglasses version. We don't even know if this Hall of armor is the one we saw in Ironman 3. It could be different.

I think that I expressed myself clearly. Dont know what else to say. Without arm printing these figs, or at least MK 5 looks unfinished and incomplete. If I put it together with that fact they (Lego) used old mold for MK 1 helmet rather than creating new one which would be more acurate to the movie version, i consider that as lazynes, even though we all know that the main issue is budget at the first place. I didnt wrote anything about “Lego should respect my opinion” so I dont know why you using this argumentation in your reply. Furthemore you still arguing with me even though I said that I dont want to + your weird speculacion about who I am, what I should/shouldnt do and how I buy Lego sets. Please, this is starting to be personal, so I give you advice - read the rules of this forum first and behave acording to them. P.S.

This is all I’ll say on the matter. You absolutely have a right to your opinion. You don’t like that the figures don’t have arm printing and it makes them seem incomplete and brings down their value to you personally. I totally understand that, I wish they had arm printing but my my personal opinion is that they look phenomenal without it anyway (though I of course would not say no to adding arm printing). However, your assessment of laziness on lego’s part is not a matter of opinion, and is in fact false. You’re not the only one here who has blamed lego of laziness either, and it never is actually laziness, it is all about budgeting. They are a big company and they know what they’re doing, and we can’t just say they got lazy every time they come out with something that doesn’t live up to our expectations. It all comes down to budgeting. That’s how it works. It’s not a matter of opinion, it’s fact. Lego isn’t lazy, they just know how to budget out their products in a way that makes them the most money. You are welcome to your opinion on the figures themselves, that’s completely fine. But saying it’s from laziness on the part of lego simply isn’t true and is not even a matter of opinion.

Thanks. Personally I agree that the Iron man suits look just as fantastic without arm printing and think that although inaccurate the invincible Iron man helmet works fine for the mark 1 since it still recognizable and has detailed mask printing. I am also just happy that we are getting more Iron man suits and that they are ones that were seen/worn in past movies which is something that I never would’ve thought that LEGO would do.
