TheBoyWonder Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 Does anyone know whether there will be more Batman sets in the summer? Hoping a night wing set as the aftermarket prices are ridiculous, and the customs horrendous. Quote
Clone OPatra Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 Does anyone know whether there will be more Batman sets in the summer? Hoping a night wing set as the aftermarket prices are ridiculous, and the customs horrendous. I'm not sure what you mean by a Nightwing set; it's possible Nightwing would be included a set sometime, but probably not have a complete set of his own. I believe the summer wave is supposed to have TDKR sets, which would mean no Nightwing then, but we'll see. Quote
SoupOrFishOil Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 (edited) I was just examining my Two-Face minifigure and I noticed that both of his hands had gray lines about halfway down/up on the outside. After putting the coin on his hand, I noticed that the bottom of that seemed to line up with the marks, so I'd recomend not putting it on his hand, but rather having it in between the fingers (or whatever). So not like this image I found on Brickipedia: I would of taken pictures myself, but I'm not good at capturing small details. Anybody else have this problem with the hands/coin?

TheBoyWonder Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 That is bad. I meant a set with Nightwing in earlier. Although a set like the robins scuba jet would be nice. Quote

Maybe the coin is Made in China? http://www.brickset.com/news/article/?ID=2332 Quote
SoupOrFishOil Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 (edited) Maybe the coin is Made in China? http://www.brickset.com/news/article/?ID=2332 It wasn't packaged separatly, but I'll check the item number. I really don't care about that China stuff too much though, as long as it isn't all of the minifigures. It's what keeps them all detailed I think. Of course, you risk smudged printing, like some users have reported, but I think those parts are made in Denmark or Mexico. Edit: Has a normal part number, no letters in the front of the ID like Chinese pieces supposedly do. Edited January 15, 2012 by Superficial Username Quote
DJ Bricks Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 So does anyone have info on the minifigures included in the other 4 Marvel sets? Or can anyone take a guess? Here's what I think: Captian AMERICA'S Avenging Cycle Captain America, Nick Fury , Red Skull( if Nick's not in it , but I find It highly unlikely ) Hulk's helicarrier breakout Hulk, Bruce Banner( possible transformation thing), Black Widow,Thor(mind you this set was called hulk and Thor in the preliminaries), Nick Fury( if he's not in the Cap's set) Quinjet All four main avengers, black widow, hawkeye,Loki , skrulls ( I believe their aircraft are called quinjets), Nick Fury( if he's not in Cap's set or could be in both) Spiderman Spiderman, doc ock, mj or gwen Stacy, generic cop, Peter Parker( I'm just guessing) FYI I AM JUST SPITBALLING HERE, THIS NOT THE OFFICAL MINIFIGURE LIST Quote

Again, I doubt a transformation thing, so no Bruce Banner. I do think that you are correct about Widow and Thor though. Again, not too sure about Fury. For the Quinjet, no idea. I'd expect at least Loki though, and probably Fury, if he isn't in the above Spider-man-though the Fury not being with the X-men showed that the press release wasn't so accurate, I'm not really expecting Mary Jane or Peter Parker. But if Mary Jane is in it, I'll probably try to get it. She and Doc Ock together would probably give some great figure parts Quote

I was just thinking Cap cuz that would be the cheapest set I think Bruce because it would be stupid of Lego to not include him. Kids who see the movie are gonna wanna pretend the Bruce turns into the Hulk. So that is why I am open for a Bruce fig Edited January 15, 2012 by Neville longbottem Quote

He could be included in almost any of the sets (except for the Chopper and Cube, we already have the figures for those). What if he doesn't transform in that scene? And plus, it's a vehicle, and Hulk is HUGE. It would be pretty hard to make a transforming feature for him, much less in a vehicle included in a 389 piece set. Quote

I don't think that will be the entire thing, just a room in the heli. Plus he would have to transform into hulk in order to breakout in the first place! Kids would wanna reenact Bruce hulking out whether it was in the specific scene or not. They did one in DC so they're probably doing one Marvel. I think Bruce cuz cap and iron man sets are to small anyway. And quinjet will be focused on a battle in the air! Edited January 15, 2012 by Neville longbottem Quote

He wouldn't necesarrily need to transform to breakout, again, what if he already was transformed? And plus, the way that you are putting it it sounds like there should be a telephone booth and a Clark Kent minifigure included in 6862. And why stop there? Why not include Bruce Wayne in every Batman set? Or Selina Kyle in 6858? Or an alternate outfit for Iron Man so Tony Stark is wearing normal clothes? Quote

Im not saying that, but they did a transformation in a DC set, so I figured there would be on for someone in the Marvel theme ! I just thought it would work best for the hulk! Plus that set sounds like a 4 - 5 fig set. Quote

There will need to be a villain/enemy or two. Capatain American, Iron Man, and Fury are all possibilities too. But again, Hulk is big. A transformation feature for him would make the 400 piece (a little less, I think) vehicle blocky and waste too many parts. Quote

I think that they have seperet sets for the four( save hulk and Thor, same set) and then put them all in the avengers set as a team! Plus this set is going to be as big as the funhouse( had 380 pieces). Maybe hulk is the " bad guy" they have to " stop" Fig idea: hulk, Thor, black widow, nick fury, Bruce banner I'm noticing a trend: DC had 1 two Fig set, 2 three figs, and 3 five figs! Marvel 2 fig( cap) 3 figs( wolverine and Loki) 5( hulk, quinjet, and spiderman) Spiderman and quintet might have more or less Edited January 15, 2012 by Neville longbottem Quote
Omicron Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 And why stop there? Why not include Bruce Wayne in every Batman set? Or Selina Kyle in 6858? Because Bruce Wayne doesn't change in the streets, and neither does Selina Kyle. duh -Omi Quote

Oky Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 Finally some more info! CM4S found some 2012 set descriptions on an online shop! Sadly, they currently only have the following two System sets along with the Ultrabuild figures, but at least it's something: 6866: Oh no, Magneto and Deadpool are attacking Wolverine with their helicopter. Help him to escape! Dodge the missiles and make a quick getaway on Wolverine's Chopper before Magneto traps Wolverine with hi s magnetic powers. Includes 3 minifigures: Wolverine, Magneto and Deadpool. 6867: Loki is escaping from S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters with the powerful cosmic cube. If he succeeds, he could use it to wreak havoc on the world! Can Iron Man take to the skies in his amazing armored suit and chase down the speeding off-roader or will Loki escape with the cosmic cube? You decide! Includes 3 minifigures: Iron Man, Loki and Hawkeye. I guess this confirms that the information about Nick Fury being in the X-Men set was wrong. Quote

When I first saw it was wolverine's chopper I expected it meant his motorcycle, now I'm kind of disappointed, and the other set is still pretty vague so I'm not sure what it includes. Must see pics NOW. Edited January 16, 2012 by halomaster96 Quote

Must see pics NOW. It does include his cycle! Magneto and deadpool are attacking Him in their helicopter and wolverine tries to get away on his CHOPPER OR BETTER YET HIS MOTORCYCLE!!!! The second set includes some type of "off-roader vehicle"for Loki to escape with! Edited January 16, 2012 by Neville longbottem Quote

Yes, you are disappointing but as Neville said, it seems that it still includes Wolverine's bike. And the other set includes an off-roader apparently. I'm picturing something like the Two Face Chase set, but without the Batmobile, and part of the SHIELD HQ instead of the bank. Quote
