The Joker1 Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 Ooh I can't wait. Though i doubt it will be superhero as we have had one mega superhero set already only this month. Quote
Jackattack7 Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 I hope there will be a new batblade, as my area is covered with deep snow. Quote

I know, I can't wait to see either, hopefully it isn't the palace cinema but I wouldn't mind if it was the tower of orthanc, also my missing lego piece from the bat vs tumbler set just arrived today Quote

The Joker1 Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 Oh I see. It may well be that then :( Never mind. At least we will get some extra pics and a full write up of it. :D Quote
RaincloudDustbin Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 (edited) If it's the PC, I'll cry. The snow is already getting me down :( . Oh well, just a few more posts until I move up a rank! Edited January 18, 2013 by TeardropTrashcan Quote
Marvelfan120 Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 (edited) Dang I was hoping we'd see the FF in the CU soon! Damn you Fox!!! I'm glad to hear that they have Daredevil, Blade and Punisher back. I could easily see Daredevil and Punisher being in the Cinematic Universe. Now if only Fox will give Marvel FF and X-Men back... 'I agree I want to see a the Marvel universe united. I think spreading the rights over so many companies was a huge mistake. I remember hearing sometime back that Disney is trying to reacquire all the rights that were sold. anyone have any clue when the spider man contract is up? Also, a rumor is out that the superhero contract with Lego is a 3 year one... That would mean it's up after 2014... I hope it gets renewed. Edited January 18, 2013 by Marvelfan120 Quote
Vindice Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 I think the Spider-Man rights like the x films only revert back to marvel if a new film doesn't begin principal photography within a set amount of years. With the last Spider-Man being recent and successful they won't have this back for a long while. Same goes for xmen. Disney could buy them back but they have spent a fair bit of money recently. Sorry Neville, I was thinking we were on about the cartoon series and not the ABC Shield series. I don't see TLG making much of that material. Thought it was more about the agents than more recognisable heroes and villains. Quote
Jackattack7 Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 5 hours and 30 mins until the set confirmation, I am pretty much trapped because of the snow. Quote

I'm sure Marvel would want Lego to make sets on Avengers 2 and Ant-Man in 2015, the Justice Leauge film is supposed to come out in 2015 as well so DC would want sets to promote that. Plus they've barely scratched the surface of the Marvel and DC characters. DC is the Batman show with friends and Marvel is mostly the MCU and Spidey, with one X-Men set. Quote
Navy Trooper Fenson Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 (edited) Exactly, throw ten different colored rings in the set. They'll be important in the movie and who says they won't be magical in the movie? they might be sciencey or get powers due to Extremis. Multi colored rings would be perfect to make Green Lantern rings from. The rings are iconic to the character and I hope they are included by Lego for fans of the comics. I remember some interview where they said they would be either symbolic or technology based, but I have no idea when or where exactly. In sets I don´t see any use. Mandarin could wear only two at a time and they would look more like donuts and less like his rings because of the missing insignia. They could simply print it on the ring but a new mold would look better. And multicolored? They are all grey and when I look at them they all have differently formed insignias. Ach, it would just become an unsatisfactory mess if they include the rings. It would be like making a new part for Boba Fetts hand mounted flamethrower or Cad Banes mask thingie with the tubes (which they made). It´s impossible to accurately render those parts in LEGO form. I think the rings could work for a comic-based Iron Man set but I don´t see them making one in the near future. Or ever. Dang I was hoping we'd see the FF in the CU soon! Damn you Fox!!! I'm glad to hear that they have Daredevil, Blade and Punisher back. I could easily see Daredevil and Punisher being in the Cinematic Universe. Now if only Fox will give Marvel FF and X-Men back... I wouldn´t throw the possibility out of the window that LEGO asks Fox form licenses from their movies. I could see them at least getting the Fantastic Four license if it isn´t too dark.

Also, a rumor is out that the superhero contract with Lego is a 3 year one... That would mean it's up after 2014... I hope it gets renewed. I guess Fox has 10 years with all of their movies and Sony 5 with all of theirs. With the new Spider-Man they had a 5 year gap and they were at the edge of loosing him. Daredevil has reverted back to Marvel 10 years after his only movie. I guess those counts extend to all their properties. Fox bought their licenses around the end of the eighties I think and they had to do a low budget Fantastic Four movie to keep their rights in 1998.

I remember talk of the guy who is in charge of Fantastic Four reboot trying to get Fox and Marvel to cooperate with their continuities and maybe even doing crossovers or at least cameos but it is unknown if he will succeed. It could work with Fantastic Four but it would need a reboot of X-Men instead of the ejaculated mess that has accumulated itself in over 10 years of Fox letting the writers make up their own stuff without regulations, which I doubt since they finally got something going with First Class and the executives at Fox refuse to do a reboot since it would mean loosing Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen in their self-destructive minds that are the only ones who would have a problem with the same actors playing the same characters in different continuities.

Or ever I was thinking from a comic fan perspictive, so kids don't get confused, and Lego could reuse some of the colored rings for Lantern sets. I think that the ring mould is to small and round to be printed on. And doesn't the ring already look like a doughnut on Frodo or Bilbo's hand. I think if the rings are important enough in the movie, Marvel would want The Mandarin to have something resembling his rings. And I just noticed all the rings are different.

Repeter Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 Movies are cool, and we are in a golden age of super hero movie themes. That said, I have never really been interested in super hero movie themed collectables. They never, ever look as good as the actual comics they are based on. Further, the colors and style of comics translates into minifigs better than these movies, imo. Has Lego ever tried doing a licensed property that wasn't based around a movie? I know they did Sponge Bob, but I would love to see an action line from Lego that wasn't hemmed in or tethered by a movie property. I think it is premature and unproved to say such a license would never work. Without trying, how would we know? Quote

Avatar, TMNT, Clone Wars, Winnie the Pooh, Jake and the Neverland Pirates, Thomas the Tank Engine, Bob the Builder, and even Batman, Superman, Ultimate Spider-Man, and X-Men.

I hope they start making more sets than the 6 DC 6 marvel they seem to be making. Quote

Anything else about the MoS and IM3 sets or is that it? Edited January 19, 2013 by Neville longbottem Quote

The Avengers sets came out in April, and the movie came out in May (like the Iron Man 3 movie will in the US, but it comes out in April in the UK), but it's weird for Man of Steel as the movie comes out in June...
