Regards, Mitch Me personally I sell every build that doesn't interest me and takes up so much space in my collection. But figures? I mean, isn't it the reason why we are buying this for collection? Probably just me but mainly I collect minifigures and never would I sell them.
PRbrickbuilder Posted March 12, 2021 Posted March 12, 2021 Ok, I gotta admit I did not like this Rocket fig. For me, the figure should have been dark blue instead of DBG. But perhaps it's more Marvel's fault than LEGO's, because the outfit is indeed between gray and blue in the Hot Toys fig. My memory actually remembered the outfit as dark blue probably because of the comic version.

I mean Star Wars is also getting a great, fan-service wave this summer too so I don’t know what you mean by it “not looking so great this year”. If anything, the two lines are going to be neck and neck because they’re both really catering to fan desires and coming out with a lot of great stuff. That being said, I’m planning on buying as much of the Marvel and Star Wars summer waves as I can to show Lego that these are the kind of sets I want. The new Rocket figure looks great. I can’t wait to see more of the figures from these sets. While we’re talking about Marvel Legacy sets we want, I would love to get the London Bridge Battle from Far From Home. I guess that the rumored 4+ set will essentially be recreating that scene anyway. I also second wanting a Civil War Airport Battle remake. Edited March 12, 2021 by The Stud

Scarilian Posted March 12, 2021 Posted March 12, 2021 Good: With the head no longer attached to the shoulder pads, you have head articulation The head has the printed goggle piece seen in the final battle Due to the desaturation in Endgame, the suit does appear more desturated and grey than it did in the promotional trailers/teasers so its accurate to an extent Bad: The switch to brown would work for an early Rocket Raccoon, but they have been slowly but surely aging the character throughout the movies so the fur needs to be darker and greying Like many others I feel the more obvious dark blue option would make sense here 21 minutes ago, gedren_y said: There are scenes in the movie where the suit looks more grey than blue. His color gets desaturated quite a bit to match the lighting in the Thor's house scene. Endgame's scenes generally had terrible colour desaturation, I guess to try and make everything look depressing? His colours only really show in the trailers/promotional material and certain shots. I guess you could go with the excuse that his outfit is dust covered/old and in the final battle it gets soaked with water cleaning it briefly so it stands out slightly more

The_Fiery_Rooster Posted March 12, 2021 Posted March 12, 2021 Wow, that Rocket figure looks pretty good! I don't mind the grey as much, mostly because I'm happier about the fix of his fur color and the new headpiece! I'm taking this as a good sign of what the other figures will be like, because honestly a new rocket head was not the first thing that came to my head as a new mold we needed. I think it's much more likely that we get new molds for the other characters that need them, like Thor. I'm so glad that this wave is getting the budget it needed to do things right!

It's not even slightly more dark grey than brown. In your pictures his fur appears kinda darker simpy because he's in a building - in the first one, he's standing outside right under sun shining at him. 11 minutes ago, SpiderJazz said: Out of all figures, which one you wanna see?

We need that suit. I kinda doubt these will be the only 'Infinity Saga' sets we wind up getting - 2022 is bound to give us some and we also have the potential for it to be a legacy wave Hopefully we get missing figures in those, though Iron Patriot 2.0 might be tricky because he's quite hefty, you'd probably need one of the Nexo Knight pieces to get the bulky nature of the figure right: 6 minutes ago, THELEGOBATMAN said: His fur is nearly exactly the same tho.

The post also includes the admittedly cloudy New Asgard with Rocket outside and the teaser/trailer shot of Rocket on War machine. We don't really have a daylight shot of Rocket to really compare, other than potentially the shot of him telling Thor they are leaving near the end of the movie - however this is heavily desaturated as with most of Endgame so Rocket has a grey looking outfit here. This singular shot is probably what they based Rocket's outfit on honestly Edited March 12, 2021 by Scarilian

Im so keen and happy we are getting a new costume for wanda but i dont know if i want to see a leak for her. i know she is coming so im happy. My first glimpse of her should be in HD and and in her full glory! the leaks like rocket raccoon always has something missing like a gun or power effects and i dont want that for her. if we do see her then thats cool but yeah. I dont know. Maybe thor so we can see if he has a new hair mold. The description said long hair and that makes me think of the aquaman long hair.
ToaDraco Posted March 12, 2021 Posted March 12, 2021 The new Rocket looks pretty good! The dark grey doesn't bother m3 since it looked grey to me in the movie.

But they did above end beyond, that's why I cannot wait to see Final battle minifigures! You guys selling your sets? As well as your figures? Yep haha these new sets are worth it. Actually, the only built lego sets i have displayed are the Upside Down, Hydro Man Attack, and the Quinjet Ariel Battle

You'll know a person that write this so much about one figure truly love and appreciate what lego is doing right now, no words can explain how happy alot us here in forums. Wanda doesn't need a new mold, I would be okay for a recolor of her CW hairpiece, but I need a printing that goes on torso to legs. 16 minutes ago, THELEGOBATMAN said: His fur is nearly exactly the same tho.

I want to see how that "rotable head" works and looks like, and if they'll do him justice this time. I'm also intrigued by this because when I first read that information, I picturing out myself is like a bootleg Thanos that KO companies already did 2 years ago, can you imagine LEGO bootlegging a design of a bootleg? That's gonna be awesome. @Scarilian - previous War Machine are already bulky in design yet they didn't add anything for him, I do think a normal minifigure could still work, but it has to be uberly detailed and different color than Iron Patriot 1 tbh, I don't know which color it should be.
Surge Posted March 12, 2021 Posted March 12, 2021 Wow that head looks amazing, only thing I kind of dislike is that they have the goggles. Its 100% probably just me and it the accurate thing to do but I hope they release the piece in the future without it so I can put it on my old rockets. Not really a fan of the torso and kind of disapointed that they didn't print grey on the tail, I thought they were gonna keep doing that, it really improves the figures. If they were to make a new groot, what could they do? I suppose they could do a new faceprint that's either smiling and/or has his eyelids half-down so he looks bored, that would fit the character well.

I'm working right now to get a clear picture of Rocket Racoon with his back printing. As for Groot another one that doesn't need a new mold a new face print probably the keychain face print would do.

But hey, that means at least 2 new moulds for Thanos, which is a good thing. 1 hour ago, CF Mitch said: It's not that weird, if you ask me. If they need money to buy the new ones and/or space to display them... I absolutely agree. In my case it's not money and not space for display - it's mostly the fact that I consider these sets not only a new era for Lego Marvel, but my whole Lego collection. I just don't want to display old The Infinity Saga sets with new TIS sets, I want them all to look fresh and be more consistent. 1 hour ago, SpiderJazz said: Me personally I sell every build that doesn't interest me and takes up so much space in my collection.

I have some minfigures left, but I never display minifgures. I only display full sets, I make great displays using clear pieces and CMF stands. I also have 2 CMF series framed in a... well frame (soon to be 3). Me personally, I don't buy those sets as a minfigure collector - I display whole sets with all its contents. They also have to be relevant, for example I don't display any old sets - I only leave ones that are either nostalgic to me or may be worth a small fortune in the future.

I wouldn't expect LEGO to do both, it'd be like how Cap's suit has small differences in Civil War, but LEGO still used the AoU torso Also if the BP set includes Killmonger, I hope they give him the justice of a new face print, the generic one he had last time was BEYOND inaccurate. Basically the equivalent of Henry Turner's head The Mark III was battle damaged in the fight with Iron Monger and kept in the hall of Armor
