I think that Nick Furry will be released in a UCS-type Helicarrier, it would be around 199.99-299.99 abd include all the avengers, loki, two "foot soldiers" the general and of course Nick Furry, it would also be very large and have an open up play scene inside :grin: we can dream can't we?

Oh, the pain....that's my wallet hurting.....I must get the Wolverine set....AWESOME figures, sick looking copter and a grey motorbike :wub: .....how many WWII MOC builders will want those eh ? :laugh:

Well I was actually hoping for a helicarrier from which Hulk can esape, but the set, as it is, is my favorite out of the Marvel lineup. I like the fighter...very reminiscent of the YF-23. Wolverine's heli looks good as well. The SHIELD truck looks nice with all the dark blue. The Quinjet looks ok...good parts pack.

I'm a little disappointed that we're not getting a SHIELD flying car. I always thought it was cool, and it's feasible with all the new clicky hinges.

I realize these are still preliminary, but I'll join the crowd in hoping that's not the final look of Iron Man's helmet. I'd rather they used the existing space helmet and just created a custom face plate, or just painted a minifig head. Either of those options would look better than what's on display. I guess we'll see in a couple months when official pics show up.

That helmet piece in general is final. They are using it, and they already made final images with it.

I really like all of these sets even though they aren't final. Did anyone else spot Man-bat?

Yes! That Bat-henchman fig from the Monster Hunters line is just begging to be modded with a s4 Collectible Minifig Werewolf to be Man-Bat!

ScaryScarecrow · February 13, 2012

I hope they give out the Toy Fair Cap and Iron Man at Comic Con (I can actually attend that, as I do not work in the toy industry). I like them better than the official versions.

**WhiteFang** · February 13, 2012

Finally, the building sets for the Avengers! :wub:

Looks pretty awesome to me.

I think and I will likely think that some of the Marvel minifigures are still in prototypes.

Dharkan · February 13, 2012

Anyone know the prices for the sets? I couldn't find if it's written before in topic, sorry.

Brickipedia has some prices they got from Brick Heroes, so they are probably French (they actually come from FBTB, so probably UK. They've updated since I last checked). I could look them up if you'd like. :classic:

EDIT

6865 (Captain America)- £11.99

6866 (Wolverine & Co.) - £19.99

6867 (Cosmic Cube Escape) - UK £19.99/US $19.99 (the US price was in the picture here)

6868 (Hulk & Co.) - £49.99

6869 (Quinjet) - Not listed

That would be great if you can. :)

Thanks a lot! Are they same price in USD (I mean same price but different currency) or different?

Hope that helps!

Dharkan · February 13, 2012

Thanks again guys.

By the way, I was hoping to see a 900+ or maybe 1000+ pieces set in Marvel wave, do you think it is a bad idea for superheroes theme? I mean when looking to all other new themes pretty much all of them has some real big sets.

I think and I will likely think that some of the Marvel minifigures are still in prototypes.

Such as Hawkeye, who reuses a face that suits him awfully, and Thor, who has no beard, to say the least of his innacuracies. Yes, I believe many (If not all) of these figures are prototypes.

JackJonespaw · February 13, 2012

I think and I will likely think that some of the Marvel minifigures are still in prototypes.

I agree. I think only the torso and legs are final.

ScaryScarecrow · February 13, 2012

Am I the only one who believes the Wolverine vs. Magneto set is the only finished one of the bunch?

Also, is Deadpool a hero or a villain there?

jonwil · February 13, 2012

In at least one picture you can see that Hawkeye's bow is a prototype piece.

DJ Bricks · February 13, 2012

I agree. I think only the torso and legs are final.

Not exactly, iron man needs leg printing!!!

Am I the only one who believes the Wolverine vs. Magneto set is the only finished one of the bunch?

Also, is Deadpool a hero or a villain there?

I think so too!!! According to set descriptions, Deadpool is a villain in the set, he's teamed up with Magneto, I'm afraid!!!!

Legolover9531 · February 13, 2012

SO I'm new (I've been following Eurobricks for a few months), and lemme star with my opinion :classic: After seeing these pictures, right now I'm only a fan of the Chopper Showdown, Hulk's Helicarrier Breakout, and the Quinjet. I'll probably have to get the Captain America set just for Capt,but I wonder what set Nick Fury will be in. Loki's Cosmic Cube Escape is disappointing IMO, as it's just a SHIELD jeep. And I assume the Spiderman set will get revealed like the funhouse, and will probably be the highpoint of the wave. Iron Man is the only good Marvel Ultrabuild. So here's how I'd rank the sets:

1. Hulk's Helicarrier Breakout

2. Wolverine's Chopper Showdown

3. Quinjet Ariel Battle

4. Captain America's Avenging Cycle

5. Loki's Cosmic Cube Escape

I hope they give out the Toy Fair Cap and Iron Man at Comic Con (I can actually attend that, as I do not work in the toy industry). I like them better than the official versions.

I doubt it, these are Toy Fair Exclusive. Unless you want to fork out more than $100 on eBay.

Ye other than looking a little matt (no gloss) and unfinished the form would be pretty much finalized at this point

Vindicare · February 13, 2012

I just think the head is way too big and makes him look really stupid

I wasn't overly excited at first glance, but giving them another better look, I like them. I can't wait to see the finalized figs for the Avengers. What I do see, however, is merely ok. I'm pretty happy with the prices. They're not at bad as I thought they'd be.
