Marvel Superheroes 2022 - Rumors & Discussion

[BrickBob Studpants]

Greekbricks on IG teases a BP-related reveal in a couple of hours. Since it shows the head, I suppose this is about the rumoured helmet, rather than the fourth WF set

[YetiZombie]

Or it could be the $500 D2C

[Lunchmonkey]

I think we're all missing the obvious answer here is a UCS Ego

Has he been reliable in the past? was the black panther helmet been confirmed?

I’d say it’s info about the largest Wakanda Forever set rather than images

[NeutralNoodle]

Apparently the $500 set is going to heavily feature a Black Panther vehicle

[hvader]

Most likely the Royal Talon Fighter. Tbh I would like a big Battle of Wakanda IW set.

No way it’s just a $500 vehicle... Must be a big battle playset

As much as I like BP, this is just a straight-up terrible idea. No BP vehicle is iconic enough to deserve a $500 set  What were they smoking

And how is this supposed to be a celebration of Marvel as a whole?

My thoughts exactly. Massively underwhelming. Gutted really, but I’m not going anywhere near a $500 BP set

Yeah, definitely a strange decision. What if the ship comes with a portal ring around it, depicting the Endgame scene?

[hvader]

Scale-wise it doesn't really make sense for this set to be the BP vehicles as none of them are that big. 

The vehicle must be a part of a larger set or scene

Wasn't it said to be non-minfig or micro-fig scale? I suppose that doesn't mean much. Maybe it's part of the "Avengers Assemble" diorama scene from Endgame? 

[Legocentrico]

when I read it I started laughing.  but it turns out that the gray hairpiece on instagram really belongs to t’chaka 😑

[Thwip]

If the $500 dollar set is a vehicle I really don’t think any Black Panther vehicles are popular enough to sell at that price point.

[BrickBob Studpants]

A $200 BP set I could get behind, but this is just ridiculous. Large-scale vehicles aren‘t exactly the first thing I think of when I hear „BP“  Even a giant panther statue would make more sense than this!

UCS Wakanda Waterfall... the waterfall is a metaphorical vehicle for T'Challa turning into Black Panther

 

[THELEGOBATMAN]

Bruh, please tell me it's a joke...

[hachiroku]

Why are you surprised? Literally all the leaks/rumours stated that it was a weird decision, that it was an oversized vehicle and that it was something that the fans don't want.

[BrickBob Studpants]

Could it perhaps be a collection of vehicles? That way, the scale would at least make a bit more sense. Still a silly choice, why not pick just one and make it a $200 set instead  That is going to be a tough sell for that pricetag!

[Mattallica]

if it really is a big BP vehicle then why did all the leakers say it wasnt minifig scale?

[TurnOffTheDark]

so lego is hyper fixated on Black Panther this year for some reason....we are getting 4 regular sets based on Black Panther (5 if you count the small mech that came out earlier this year) and a whole d2c. Very weird indeed

I don't like it, but I'm not SUPER surprised. For some reason, a lot of merch companies seem to think Black Panther's popularity extends to everything wakandan (or even that BP the character is spider-man level popular now). Like, I like T'challa, he's cool, but I could care less about wakandan vehicles.

Because no BP vehicle is that big. It's going to be larger than minifigure scale.

[BusterNut31]

I think it will be the royal talon ship with two or three exclusive figs. like the batwing or batman 89 bat mobile. could also include something with it.

[Mattallica]

the royal talon fighter is pretty big, so it would have to be enormous to not scale to minifigs

Couldn't care less surely? 

 

The thing is that with marvel the vehicles aren't ever really the focus. I mean excluding batman it applies to most superheroes really, especially if you consider the Hulkbuster to just be a big ironman suit and not its own vehicle, I mean the 2 guardians spaceships too. Shield has its vehicles but only quinjet and the helicarrier are anything important and even then I wouldn't call the quinjet an iconic look.

 

Was the talon fighter ever driven by T'challa? Was it ever the focus of a major action scene? Ever named on screen? Ever mentioned properly? 

Edit: it was more prominent than I remembered but still a Ninjago city styled Wakanda with the lab, minihangwr, waterfall arena, mines underneath, throne room ect would be a way better Black panther d2c
