Lego Superheroes 2013 Rumours & Discussion

[GuntherThePenguin]

After seeing IM3 for the second time today, I'm really wishing we could've gotten a set with Happy and I wish Maya was in the Malibu Mansion set.

Oh that would have been nice. Here are a few more from the wishlist

- Hey Lego, see these dudes.

We need a few more of them with the clear window replaced with a blanked out grey or chrome. Yeah I know they weren't actually in the movie, but its a matter of principle. We Need AIM BEEKEEPERS DAMIT!

- Why oh Why oh Why did they give us a regular Warmachine in one set and save Iron Patriot for a video game preorder bonus? The regular silver Warmachine is never in this movie??? They would have been better putting him in the polybag and giving us IP!

- We need a John Faveau minifig to go along with the Peter Jackson one.

- We need a uniform or civilian Rhodey fig.

- It's probably too much to ask for a Tony vs "Drunken Mandarin with 2 Hookers" set, isn't it? DAMIT! It would be way cooler than the damned Ultimate Flame Throwing Golf Cart

- We were picking on the "Ultimate" IM vs Mandarin Battle set as looking like Iron Man was taking on a Drunken Homeless Hobo... who would have guessed that we actually got it right? Do we get extra points for that? That Mandarin fig has just become ripe for all sorts of interesting yet demented MOC's.

- Any chance of a female Extremis fig?

- I can't figure out how to fit a giant stuffed rabbit into my Malibu Mansion set.

OK I'm done with the weird stream of conscious babbling. Carry on with your normal thread.

I think that gold one might be Midas - Mk 21.

[Jackattack7]

That's not gold.......

And I'm having troubles finding the Godkiller on any of the armors.

It looked gold in the film.

Mk 21 wasn't in either of the pictures posted by Jackattack. I'm not entirely sure I even saw it in the movie?

Back on topic though, I am really hoping we somehow get a large exclusive set later on based of off the REAL Ultimate battle with like 5 different suits. It shouldn't be hard for TLG to make different suits considering they already have the helmet mold.

Ah yep. Female Extremis soldier and a civilian Rhodey would be nice too. I'm just glad we got a Pepper and War Machine.

is there any news yet on the Iron Patriot for Europe? It would not be good to have this exclusive to the US.

[TheLegoDr]

So I'm sure it was covered last year when the Avengers sets came out, but I recall everyone complaining about Loki's staff and how inaccurate it was to the film. I believe everyone talked about the Elven sword looking closer to the weapon used in the film (and it was). But I only bring this up because I watched the first Thor again recently and the staff used by Odin and Loki (later in the film) looks seemingly identical to the staff they gave Loki in the Avengers sets. The sai stuck in the pharaoh's quest mummy staff looked really good compared to that source material, just not the Avengers source material.

This has nothing to do with Iron Man or Superman currently, but I found it interesting so I thought I would bring it up.

Would also appreciate any news about Iron Patriot for Asia (Singapore) as well. It would be a real bummer indeed if this was a US-only exclusive, leaving the rest of us at the mercy of going to the secondary market...

I got a reply from Customer Service they don't have any information about Iron patriot for Europe yet. Since the game is coming out end of October, I am not giving up hope yet. Of course there are many super heroes fans around the world and not only in the US - so I really hope they can offer that via Amazon or whomever.

[Cammo]

For the Dutch/Belgian buyers, it will probably be at Bart Smit or Game Mania as usual.

[deskp]

All 42 suits images exist online taken from the game.

[Darth Lurtz]

Is the Extremis Soldier suppose to represent Eric Savin? Brickipedia claims it even though it has no resemblance to the character at all.

I would live to see them! Could you provide a link? I tried googling it and didn't come up with anything.

From what I understand he is supposed to be Eric Savin, but they didn't name the minifigure that to avoid spoiling the movie. And more than likely the lack of resemblance has to do with Lego probably having to base the design on concept art rather than the finished product. You can see this particularly with characters like Mandarin, Black Widow and Hawkeye who's figures look very close to the concept art but not the actual movie characters. Lego has to design these figures pretty far in advance and character appearances can change pretty late in a movies development.

Thanks. I suppose it makes sense, though I can never Imagine the Mandarin's Golf cart of doom ever being in concept art.

As Strangely said, he could have looked that way in concept art. His face bears much resemblance to James Badge Dale's (actor who played Savin) , but people want facts.

And the golf cart is easily Lego's creation, thinking that the Mandarin and tony would throw down.

[RaincloudDustbin]

I would have loved to see the look on a designer's face when

the Mandarin twist happened... only joking

[BlueberryWaffles]

More like his face when he watches the film......(omg, I am seriously screwed!)

[Kez]

Yes, I too would have also loved to see the designers face, but they don't get told too much about the plot so I presume it's very hard for them to design what they do

It shouldn't. I don't know how many times I removed that....

[8BrickMario]

Well, now the question is, "Does Brickimedia say so?"

[CorneliusMurdock]

Let's not even imply spoilers, please.

Today I recieved all 3 man of steel sets for my birthday and having built them I can say that they are really good and I would recommend getting them

[Tobias_Jay]

^Happy Birthday!

It's nice to know that you recommend these sets, the Smallville set is looking better every picture I see, so that may be a definite purchase. I might pick up the MoS sets during the mid-year toy sales.
