LEGO Superheroes 2012 Rumours & Discussion

[piemaster1446]

I have all The Avengers figs now! My bricklink Iron Man just came!

[the fixer]

Went to France yesterday and the only store that had at least SOME new super hero LEGO sets was TRU.

Sadly, they only had the big Cap figure, the big Iron Man and the Batman Funhouse (of which only one box was left). The rest has yet to arrive.

I bought the funhouse, the big Cap (and a load of new ThunderCats toys) :D

The closest Toys 'r Us store from where I live (in Belgium) is a 40-minute drive. Might get a peek in a week or 2-3 if they still aren't available here. I just hope the funhouse set will be available in Belgium too but I fear this won't be the case since it's an exclusive. By the way, how much do they charge for the funhouse set?

No, Dreamland has replaced Toys 'r us in Belgium. I mean the closest Toys 'r us where I live (which is Belgium), is in Lille/Rijsel.

Still waiting until halfway May to go there because I heard rumors that Superheroes sets will eventually arrive in Belgium and the Netherlands at the beginning of next month.

BTW, sorry for interrupting the discussion AFOLS

[dr jones]

yeah, Lille's a bit far for me. I'll just have to wait 'till may then. :(

To think I had the chance to buy them a month ago in Germany...

I just opened up my funhouse escape set today and the riddler had a grey bowler hat.

I thought Lego was switching it to green and changing the Riddler completely.

I ordered the set last month but it was still backordered, so I recieved it the last week.

Has anyone recieved the green bowler hat yet?

Think people just assumed that, and even fi they are doing it your set might have been stored in a werehouse since before they might have changed it.

Wasn't that just for the Toy Fair?

Who said they were switching it? It has always been grey, and always will be grey. The green one was a prototype at the Toy Fair.

Okay I understand now, I had a misunderstanding. I thought they were going to change it just like they did for the Batman mask.

Hi there Cammo,

The Lille TRU is the closest for me too.

They charge 50€ for the funhouse. A pretty decent price if y'ask me. :)

Thanks, if I don't find it here in Belgium at the end of May, I will definitely pick it up there

Hey all I recently got my new Marvel sets and they are awesome! My only complaint is that Hawkeye and Black Widow both look a little off to me? I know others have thought this as well and was just wondering if some people would like to share what they did to "improve" the look of these figures?

Hawkeye is just plain ugly. That head doesn't suit him at all. Neither does his hair piece. There is a good solution here.

For Black Widow, I think she would look fine if you remove the cheek bone lines. I think Brasso would work.

... I know others have thought this as well and was just wondering if some people would like to share what they did to "improve" the look of these figures [Hawkeye and Black Widow]?

I would also like some suggestions as well and, if possible, from pieces that are widely available right now.

I would try using the jungle-boy's hair from series 7 for Widow, it's a nice redish-brown and matches her hair style pretty well.

[Im a brickmaster.]

You know, the hair they hd on the protype Hawkeye at the toy fair looked pretty good,

I think it was the Fred Wesley hair.

[Iron-Man]

Thanks everyone for your suggestions! I did like the bed head hair one, and I know I have seen a Hawkeye using Riddler's head that looked pretty good. Black Widow is still a mystery to me but I will definitely be trying some of these suggestions!

If anyone has the jungle boy hair and Black Widow on hand that would be an awesome combo to see

you can find bedhead Hakweye in on of the reviews, works perfectly.

[Iron-Man]

Thanks deskp! Looks a lot better than the weird hair LEGO gave her!

Also that Steve Rogers is looking real nice to!

LotR's Boromir's hair is better. Almost perfect.

Hi guys,

I just wanted to let my fellow Dutchmen know that I found several Super Heroes sets in a Bart Smit.

They didn't have all of them, but I did see the Superman vs. Lex Luthor's Armor set and the Catwoman set from DC. From Marvel they had the Quinjet, the Hulk Helicarrier Breakout and the Wolverine's Chopper Showdown.

Regards,

Mitch

He did say widely available, you can't get boromir for at least another three months.

Has there been any more info released about the LEGO Avengers promo poster deal when going to see The Avengers on May 4th?
