Super Heroes 2014 Rumors & Discussion

[vriverajr3]

Exactly! Two of my son's favourite characters in a set aimed just for his age group!

2 of my sons favorite characters as well!!!

My sons current spidey is Getting a bit scratched up from all the playing with haha, so this set will be perfect to get him a new one and a venom he doesn't have yet but really wants :)

I'm an adult and lovin' the set. I think it might be the best spider-man car ever haha.

Awesome. Yea, my post was more aimed at the people that said this set and the other junior sets looked bad and didn't appeal to them. I thinks it's a cool little car as well :)

I checked the preliminary photos again and it looks as if red hips Spidey is the new norm for 2014 (except for the Ock set, of course). Also, I added red hips to one of my Spider-Men and the result is extremely bizarre. Like I said before, they're just overkill.

Little boys and girls will have plenty of fun pitting Venom against Spiderman, I'm sure.

One thing that does not make sense to me is , why is Venom a minifig and Green Goblin a maxifig when their both the same size on USM.

Venom is technically a shapeshifter who can change and adjust his size. Whereas the Ultimate Universe and USM Green Goblin is more of a Hulked out Super Steroid type.

Most the the time in comics or shows(except Spiderman 3) ,Venom is always a hulking size compared to Spiderman.

That hulking Venom is more a modern artistic interpretation of the character. He was originally slightly larger than Spider-Man (muscular body builder Edie Brock) but over the years artists keep drawing him bigger and bigger. I think the version of him they used in Thunderbolts a few years back seemed 12' tall and maybe 20' wide at the shoulders. It starts to get ridiculous.

Sorry if this has been asked, but is Venom this year the same as the one we got last year?

[Im a brickmaster.]

Yes he is, just minus the tendrils.

We're still waiting on the Steam Roller set, but the three regular ones and the Juniors Batcave are online.

Thanks for that CM4S! I am still comepletely underwhelemed by this set, and this wave, was it so hard to give Riddler a new molded crane?

[4WD]

Thanks for the image CM4S!

I used to dislike that set for some reason, but it actually looks great here (in a clear image, especially!) I think the dragster is great and the Batmobile is astounding. Plus, we get Flash and a well-updated Riddler.

Freddy Bricker, I do echo your thoughts on the cane, but the colour sure beats the red crowbar he had in the Funhouse.

Yeah, but I used it as a red crowbar, not a cane, but of course because of Flash I will get this set anyways, thank you Lego for that.

That new Robin head....

Here's a link to the Junior Batcave set http://i-store.walmart.ca/images/WMTCNPE/NewImages/3a4e7d34c30248f1b3ea7dc5db4d0458/Enlarged_.jpeg.....note the very large printed part....ouch that's going to hurt on Bricklink eh ?

Depending on price.....it might be a cheap way of scoring The Joker.

[strangely]

Dick Grayson Robin YAY! I missed out the first time around, so I'm happy to have him. Now if the Robin in the steamroller turns out to be Damian Wayne I will be sold on this wave completely (Even despite some less than great builds).

The juniors set is surprisingly good, if that turns out to be printing instead of stickers I will be truly impressed.

[SlimShady]

It's nice to see some better pictures. Yeah, this year's going to be awesome!

It wouldn't be hard, but I think it'd be a bit wasteful. I think using a crowbar for his riddle cane is quite a clever solution, to be honest. Every theme only gets a certain budget for new molds, and I think that budget should be spent on things that actually NEED them, not just things that would be slightly more stylish as new molds.

OoOooOooOo looks gooooddd

Yeah, but that still doesn't change my views on the wave, I love the Penguin set, and dislike all the others. Batgirl for me is the only nice figure, and she wasn't given her leg printing. But you do bring up a good point, it wouldn't be necessary , but would it really be out of budget? Other than Batgirls cowl, Flash's mask, and Batman's cowl, there aren't any new molds in this wave and I just feel it was a missed opportunity, that's all.

[TheLegoDr]

I do love that new Robin in the Juniors set and the lighter blue Batman. But looking at Burt Ward's Robin vs this one, it looks like he had a black mask originally, so I may just modify mine to fit. Although I do still want that figure.

As for the rest, I am excited. Super Heroes is the only theme this next year I am actually planning on getting for myself. LEGO movie and SW weren't as appealing as I originally hoped. I will pick up Friends/Disney for my daughter, but I might be saving some money this next year. Maybe I can get caught up on exclusives before they disappear then.

[The Pearson]

I'm not really sure why but the Juniors sets look good. Honestly, they'll probably be the only ones that I pick up.

[Captain Nemo]

Love that Juniors set, and I think that's the one I'd be the most happy with--which is sad actually. I don't care too much for that new Robin in the Juniors set though, his face is just weird; just like Nightwing, their expressions seem to be forced, like they're at gun point or something!

Most likely I'll end up getting all the sets though, if only for the characters. Sigh.

[CM4Sci]

Oh, the thread was renamed. Wouldn't 'Super Heroes' be better?
