PavillionDweller Posted April 28, 2021 Posted April 28, 2021 Thor looks about as good as he was ever gonna be; I can imagine there would've been a bigger chance for a hair-beard combo if, say, it would be Thor's definitive look going forward but, like previously pointed out, it'd probably be too specific of a piece to use elsewhere. 2 hours ago, Kim-Kwang-Seok said: Noone here knows the inner works of TLG. Maybe its just different departements and the Marvel one doesnt have any influence Maybe all the budget is already eaten by the licence itself. Maybe the higher ups dont want more budget because they think the sets sell anyway because kids don't care as long as its the right licence. There's a new face print (not too accurate I might add) and a reprinted hairpiece. That's by far not what it could be but its way better then anything we have gotten in the last years. Finally - for the first time - Thor has an updated haircolour. This wave will for sure have way more new prints and much more new molds then waves of before. Also we get sets of a movie that was released in the past - other then Star Wars this usually never happens. But of course, people here will still expect a new mold for so many characters and leg and arm printing. Im not saying it cannt or shouldnt be done. I dont understand why Lego doesnt tap more into the minifigure market. Im just saying we don't know why it is how it is. Im sure for sure that the designers try always their best to please most people. But in the end it's for kids more then for greedy, over precise adults. *I might add that Im among those overly precise adults. But Im not blind to the reality of the market, that these are kid toys. Seconded. Any pre-existing, established IP is gonna sell better than an in-house theme by name alone so it makes sense in my mind that they'd allocate more overall resources to develop themes, especially new ones, that needs that extra draw (Hidden Side or Vidiyo for example, marketing ideas excluded; Overwatch is one that I imagined tried to bring in a potentially non-Lego market on IP alone). Kids who like Thor aren't gonna think about new moulds or missing prints; they're just gonna want a cool Thor and it does the job for that.

hvader Posted April 28, 2021 Posted April 28, 2021 I love that Thor. We can add a shorter hair on him to make the Infinity War Thor.

The_Fiery_Rooster Posted April 28, 2021 Posted April 28, 2021 I'm glad to see some more positivity, after yesterday I thought this reveal would have made this thread into chaos! Looking closer, I like the torso print, and I feel like the design gives the impression of some extra heft on the chest. I wonder what his alt face is like, if it's more aggressive or just a more normal calm/happy face? I hope we see that soon!

And I guess the other face will be smiling happy face if they're gonna use it for Lebowski Thor
Scarletwitch Posted April 28, 2021 Posted April 28, 2021 Does anyone know when the infinity saga sets will release in the US
hvader Posted April 28, 2021 Posted April 28, 2021 Is it just me or is the Marvel reveal this year especially slow and steady? I feel like we get a couple of reveals here and there over a long time. Hopefully, we see the official pics very soon.

In that case, I would prefer a different face for that set, but who knows. Edited April 28, 2021 by NetherCreeper

Brick Clicker Posted April 28, 2021 Posted April 28, 2021 The Inifinity Saga sets should be launching June 1st, not sure if they'll be any regional differences like Vidiyo

As previously mentioned, the torso prints feel a bit wonky compare to IW version. Probably it's because they want to show it's fat thor. Realistically, it should be calm face. A normal looking one, I wouldn't also rule out smiling because they like to do something like that. 4 minutes ago, NetherCreeper said: Maybe the alt face has sunglasses, ha ha!

If this has specific beard braided printing, I would say there's a big chance sun glasses Lebowski Thor could happen, but seeing how it's very normal looking Thor, I won't expect it. I'm expecting two Thor's gonna be sharing this face.
Xcube Posted April 28, 2021 Posted April 28, 2021 I hope, that something will be shown in 10 minutes, but I don't think so.
TobyAis Posted April 28, 2021 Posted April 28, 2021 I'm fully prepared to wait 2 more weeks for the reveal.. will be painful but without sacrifice, there's no victory

THELEGOBATMAN Posted April 28, 2021 Posted April 28, 2021 2 hours ago, TobyAis said: I was wondering which wave are they gonna reveal? which sets? the Infinity Saga sets? only the Bugle and a few other that will be released together? And also when are the IS sets gonna be released? June? July? August? The Infinity Saga sets - Dragon Flyer, Iron Monger, Final Battle etc. Bugle will be revealed in May. Advent Calendar, What If...? set and CMF later down the line. The release date for The Inifnity Saga sets is June 1st 17 minutes ago, TobyAis said: I'm fully prepared to wait 2 more weeks for the reveal.. will be painful but without sacrifice, there's no victory Yeah you don't have to be. One week is a maximum, but they most likely will be revealed by the end of this week.
Pulp Detective Posted April 28, 2021 Posted April 28, 2021 Honestly I'm glad that he's not entirely movie accurate.Fat Thor is one of the worst things that came out of Endgame.
