just2good Posted April 29, 2013 Posted April 29, 2013 I'm very surprised at the X-Men stuff. Maybe we'll get one set to coincide with the release of The Wolverine? Then, Thor 2 would be 2014 sets. Hmm... Quote
Darth Lurtz Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 Maybe we'll get the X-Mansion to balance the scale between Marvel and DC sets. Quote
Big T Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 (edited) Remember that teasing rumor awhile back about Lego in talks with the people behind things like The Simpsons? While some assumed they may be working on a Simpsons license, another possibility is they are working on a much broader license with Fox. And Fox has an XMen movie coming out later this year. So we can hope... I'd presume regardless of whether they sorted out a deal with Fox they'd release an X-men set or two near the movie. Even if it wasn't based on the movies they could just release ones based off the comic books (which would probably appeal to more people here anyway minifig wise). Only thing is I thought Days of Future Past wasn't being released until next year? EDIT: Whoops was forgetting about The Wolverine. Edited April 30, 2013 by Big T Quote
Tobias_Jay Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 (edited) Looks like those (including me) can eat our words about the the Jor-El figure being fake. Up close, the detail on his face is amazing and the torso print actually looks different to the MoS Superman figure, I will definitely try to get this figure when it comes out. Also the first Russel Crowe figure if my knowledge serves me correct, which is welcome for me. Edited April 30, 2013 by Wall E2624 Quote
legofreak86 Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 (edited) I knew the Jor-El figure was real! Finally a crowe figure. The face is awesome and the suit is quite different to superman's. As many have said before this is what he wears underneath his armour in his costume. If this is a promo then i will spend the required ammount to get him with my purchase.

Blakstone Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 How cool would it be if they gave promotional minifigs for movie tickets? I am such a LEGO addict that I would go to Man of Steel on the opening day for the Jor-El minifig but would wait for Netflix otherwise. Quote

I am such a LEGO addict that I would go to Man of Steel on the opening day for the Jor-El minifig but would wait for Netflix otherwise. I would not like that personally. Not all movie theaters would carry the figure and it would be a hassle to research and then, once you get there, it might not be in stock anymore. Quote
The Kid Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 As presumed, Iron Patriot is an exclusive Walmart pre-order bonus in the US, with the new Marvel Superheroes game More details here. TK Quote
Sam892 Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 (edited) As presumed, Iron Patriot is an exclusive Walmart pre-order bonus in the US, with the new Marvel Superheroes game More details here. TK I'm not suprised they chose Patriot considering he wasn't in any of the sets. I'm also not suprised that the keyring isn't the only Exculsive. He looks pretty cool and I love that he comes with an assemble rack. I can't wait for the x-men set/s, maybe they are to collide with the game? Edited April 30, 2013 by LuxorV Quote
just2good Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 Argh, I can't see the image now. The website is blocked! Can someone post it through Flickr? Quote
Lance Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 Ha ha, now that is a pre-order exclusive! Any idea what chain will carry Iron Patriot in France or UK? Quote
LMB10 Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 (edited) Pretty nice looking. IM3 Spoiler: I hope it's Eric Savin in the suit. Edited April 30, 2013 by LMB10 Quote
legofreak86 Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 (edited) USA exclusive patriot... A great pity! I suppose he'll appear on ebay at some point and loyal non USA fans will be forced to pay £20 or over for him . God i'm beginning to hate theese USA exclusives. Jor el will probs be uk as well as USA if he is in a lego shop promo in june like hulk. If not then i am one unhappy customer. Lego do remember that you are originally a european company and the USA is not your original home market..... Edited April 30, 2013 by legofreak86 Quote
DJ Bricks Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 Pretty nice looking. IM3 Spoiler: I hope it's Eric Savin in the suit. Well the Extremis Soldier is supposed to be Savin (i know he's bald,and wears a different outfit, but Lego might have had a different look for him.) My bet is on Rhodey's head. Quote
Robinson6142 Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 I don't think there's any reason why the iron patriot would be USA exclusive. It doesn't say so in the article Quote
Drock Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 Argh, I can't see the image now. The website is blocked! Can someone post it through Flickr? see this? Quote
h-7 Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 That sucks I would rather buy from Game Stop. There is a chance I could have gotten 2. I guess I could pre order multiple from Walmart and maybe return the game. I just want 2 so I can open one and keep one poly bag sealed. Quote
Omicron Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 Don't give up hope for it to be a Gamestop preorder too. These things tend to crossover. -Omi Quote
CorneliusMurdock Posted April 30, 2013 Author Posted April 30, 2013 Well shoot. I guess that means I'm not getting an Iron Patriot. I don't have a gaming system that can play the game nor am I going to shell out big money on Ebay. That makes me sad. Quote
legofreak86 Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 (edited) Ha ha, now that is a pre-order exclusive! Any idea what chain will carry Iron Patriot in France or UK? Amazon.co.uk carried the exclusive lex figure and so did many other places like game in the uk. Fingers crossed they will do this again. Hopefully like lex on pc as well as i don't have a console as we used to have one but only i played on it and it hardly ever got used. If this is on PC i will buy it as it has the minifigure and i liked the dc one and am excited about the potential of a lego marvel game with galactus. I don't think there's any reason why the iron patriot would be USA exclusive. It doesn't say so in the article I hope you are right. Well shoot. I guess that means I'm not getting an Iron Patriot. I don't have a gaming system that can play the game nor am I going to shell out big money on Ebay. That makes me sad. It would have been far better to swap patriot with ironman with drone so we actually got a may lego shop exclusive that everyone needs for their collection and wants so many people can get it. And put the recycled iron man in the video game pre order it has more significance with the game as Rhodey's patriot is an iron man 3 related thing and may is the month that iron man 3 is primarily released (apart from over here which was last friday). The whole game exclusive thing is annoying as many people don't actually have a console (like myself and you) And some people don't play video games. Theese exclusives should be shop at home ones as they are the easiest to get hold of for all countries. Realistically though patriot should have been in the set and warmachine should have been the exclusive. Edited April 30, 2013 by legofreak86 Quote
RaincloudDustbin Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 I'm so angry right now! I'm really hoping LEGO haven't gone all 'Team GB' on us again... Really as LegoFreak said, WM should have been the exclusive rather than IP as it does say IM3 on it. I certainly hope that Amazon carry this as well. Quote

Really as LegoFreak said, WM should have been the exclusive rather than IP as it does say IM3 on it. I certainly hope that Amazon carry this as well. Exactly my point! That would make sense. Country exclusives (especially of such a main character) just don't work because so many people don't get the figure and those that do mostly put them on ebay!!!!!! Bilbo baggins of the hobbit for example. Tell you what though i'd be more upset about iron patriot then baggins considering other versions of bilbo were availiable and patriot is unique. Quote
