I think he was referring to Arnim Zola being a realistic version of MODOK when in fact they are two separate characters.
Huigberts Builds Posted April 27, 2020 Posted April 27, 2020 I think it's interesting how those yellow things don't appear on the box art. Whatever could they be?

Someone somewhere must be having a fit about that. Quinjet shrinkflation continues at an alarming rate. By next year I'm assuming we'll have hit the singularity and we'll need to donate a Quinjet to Lego in order to acquire the rest of a set. It's not really that weird, lots of characters have unique molds that don't really work for anyone else that eventually get replaced.

This specific piece hasn't been produced since late 2015 so using an existing piece instead of resurrecting an expensive one-off mold saves lego a lot of money.

Works both ways though; in that case I'd expect someone somewhere is having a fit that the piece got made in the first place!

This is 100% what I meant! I'm not an idiot, I know MODOK is the flying head and Arnim Zola is the robot with a tv in it's chest that a dead human speaks through. 1 hour ago, Guyon2002 said: It's actually not weird at all, it makes perfect sense.

Also, that piece doesn't work for lots of versions of MODOK. Most versions have the chair thing literally part of MODOK, where that was just a normal minifigure, albeit with a weird head, in a chair.

Yeah, he's supposed to be an enormous head, this isn't meant to be winter-soldier levels of realism. Of course MODOKS’s not supposed to be realistic, I just think his design is ridiculous, even by comic standards Imagine this: you first come across the name MODOK somewhere for the very first time and then read up the acronym. Now think of what this character could look like based on the name (personally, I thought of something Terminator-like). And then you see a picture of a giant Joker-like face fused to a chair with baby-sized extremities and a silly haircut to boot
Legoman123 Posted April 28, 2020 Posted April 28, 2020 Hopefully we can see the Avengers Tower soon, I am surprised we haven’t already.

Thieda Posted April 28, 2020 Posted April 28, 2020 You can find back of box pictures on brickfever. The giant gap at the back is to put MODOK in.

I feel like since Endgame the majority of Marvel sets have just been very underwhelming, I know they are targeted for kids but looking at the infinity war sets they where meant for kids too but still had great builds in all of the sets in my opinion.
THELEGOBATMAN Posted April 28, 2020 Posted April 28, 2020 https://www.brickfever.nl/themes/marvel-super-heroes Guys look at all this stuff. So many sets. 76165 Iron Man Bust - 60€, June 1st 76164 Marvel Super Heroes Avengers 6 - 40€, August 1st 76166 Marvel Super Heroes Avengers 8 - 90€, August 1st 76167 Marvel Super Heroes 9 - 30€, August 1st 76145 Marvel Super Heroes 1 - 10€, October 1st 76154 Marvel Super Heroes 4 - 20€, October 1st 76155 Marvel Super Heroes 5 - 60€, October 1st 76156 Marvel Super Heroes 6 - 100€, October 1st So Iron Man bust is coming in June, weird that it didn't leak with other sets. Last four are definitely Eternals sets, but they could have been moved to January 2021. Avengers sets are Hulkbuster and Avengers Tower. But there's a big reveal - There's one more August set . Maybe it was/is The Falcon and The Winter Soldier set?

I don't think they would make another Venom set two months after a Venomosaurus... or would they? Instead of giving us a proper interior we get a giant useless cell for MODOK... but I must say this set has grown on me, still not a fan of it tho.

lego_guyon02 Posted April 28, 2020 Posted April 28, 2020 I can't get over how amazing that Black Widow figure is, finally a fig that does her justice! While the Helicarrier itself has grown on me a little I still really don't like it. Just now, Only Sinner said: And yet they still expect the consumer to spend a lot of money on their products.

Every single time they've used that piece for a face it has been printed so they'll most likely have done the same thing here

I expected the rooftop to be removable. At least the front windshield must me removable, right? With a cockpit for Fury to command the Helicarrier? If there is no interior besides the prison cell, there must be a play feature/ mechanism inside all that space.

I don't know, it seems something LEGO would do in order to not have an interior… Looks like this person got it right. Hail the prophet!
DeCommander96 Posted April 28, 2020 Posted April 28, 2020 So, the Harry Potter sets have pictures now. one of Them is a build able hedwig im thinking it will be a similar build to the iron man bust.
NXS7 Posted April 28, 2020 Posted April 28, 2020 If anyone (like me) is bothered by lack of a roof at the back of the Helicarrier, I simply suggest 2 of these pieces. A little extra modification would be required, but you could still keep the satellite dish https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=52031&idColor=11#T=C&C=11 12 minutes ago, DeCommander96 said: So, the Harry Potter sets have pictures now. one of Them is a build able hedwig im thinking it will be a similar build to the iron man bust.
