Super Heroes 2014 Rumors & Discussion

[DJ Bricks]

I`m not a Super Heroes fan but I`ve seen some blurry pictures of new sets:

Avengers logo on box

76018 - biggest set. Some kind of laboratory - 4 minifigs (Hulk for sure, Thor, one guy with wings and one with black hood) and strange "brick-built-minifig" with very big head (looks like minifig head but much bigger)

76017 - three minifigs (Cpt America for sure, two other guys - one is green) - olive green vehicle and motorcycle for Cpt America.

Spiderman logo on box

76016 - Flying vehicle with two rotors, Spider man, other minifig and big (brick build olive green/green monster?)

76015 - Spider, Octopus, other guy and a car

76014 - Spider on some kind of tricycle, and other guy (green torso, yellow hands and yellow legs)

Batman logo on the box

76013 - black plane and truck - 5 minifigures (hard to tell - Batman, Robin, Scarecrow(?) ant two others.

76012 - same like in first post.

76011 - black vehicle looks like a shark and two minifigures (looks like it`s placed under water)

76010 - small set - Batman and Penguin (in some of yellow duck vehicle)

All sets in march.

Well here are my thoughts,

76013- Supposed to be steam roller, but i hope no Scarecrow

76011 is supposed to be the Man-Bat set, but prliminary does happen

Marvel

76018 sound like a set based on Avengers Assemble with Thor (no helmet he wears as a often as he does in the movies), Hulk, which only new faceprint, Falcon (guy with wings), brick built guy is definitely MODOK, and guy with hood could be Red Skull

76017- This could be based on TWS and green guy could be movie Falcon, hopfully but not

76016 Spidey, Hero/ civilian and Goblin on Glider

76015 Ock could be based on his season 2 look, which is a diffent face print, Spidey and hero (though this sound like the lab set)

76014 Spidey on a weird vehicle plus Sandman or Electro (i'm leaning towards him)

[legofreak86]

From what I've seen the main villains of the show as well as MODOK and Red Skull are, Malaketh, Dr Doom and Justin Hammers super adaptoid. Out of those two it could be Malaketh or a really bad picture of Dr Doom.

I hope not doom as we got him in USM already! Malekith would make sense as maybe they would tie in the characters in this set, e.g. thor with Malekith to tie in for thor the dark world without releasing a set based on that movie (which is a pity). It seems odd to me that they would make sets for a run of the mill (rather dull in my opinion) TV show rather than making ones for money making big budget blockbusters such as thor 2 and cap 2. It just isn't a good product and marketing decision. Plus we already have the avengers members from the movie line. Falcon could've just been in the cap 2 set had they made the right decision. Then again the fact we may be getting hydra troops, modok and red skull then perhaps this has it's benefits! Still marvel not making sets for one of their biggest films of 2014 and a possible standout 2013 movie is just a risky decision that these "avengers sets" will gather more interest than movie sets would have. Then again comic designs to compliment the movie designs could be a welcome change. does anyone remember this cover?: http://www.fbtb.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/Marvel-Universe-Avengers-Assemble-1-LEGO-Variant-Cover.jpg could be seeing these variants as they appear in the TV show.

I was sure we would get sets for the new films but then maybe kids don't watch them and afol don't need films to buy sets, maybe the fact that they cant make them accurate to the film as another reason and that they can make better sets themselves, also the movie sets go out of date/interest faster.

Thanks for sharing even though you aren't a Super Heroes fan. I really appreciate it, even if these are a bit sketchy. One thing that I wonder though, could you tell if "Scarecrow" had a hood?

[Kez]

Wow thanks again for the new set news Kris, Im liking the sound of everything, although this year is going to be rather expensive, with the movie sets, Simpsons, hobbit/lotr? And the list goes on

[SMC]

^ sounds like Im buying the same sets as you, something might have to give is it bad hoping that some of the sets are bad, the worse thing is when there are figs you want in bad sets. I am liking the sound of lots of those but need to see them first. 6018 - biggest set, do we have any idea of price, I need a hulk.

[Tom Jurassic]

Pretty excited about the set information, thank you for sharing! :) Particularly excited for that Hulk set and the Cap one, suggests that the Hulk and Thor one may be Dark World or Avengers. Not sure, Cap may be Captain America 2 since we already have a Cap Bike set from Avengers. :)

[BrickG]

Too many Spiderman sets (seriously, I don't need 10 spiderman minifigures :P, though I guess the same could be said for my too many Batmans) and too few X-Men ones. :(

[strangely]

I'm hoping they'll give us at least one new variation of Spiderman because I really dislike the USM one. But I get the bad feeling it will be the same one as usual. If they gave us an ASM variation I would probably jump up and down.

[legofreak86]

so they can make a poster for the film but not sets eh? So many cool designs that will never see the light of day a pity! http://www.usatoday....d-lego/2941389/ lego doesn't appear to understand logic at the moment..

I like the sound of the sets except where are white tiger and power man... Like one poster said, I don't need another spider man minifig.

These are just the march sets X-Men and GotG are set for later in the year, I think...

Aargh, LEGO, stop teasing us!

[Legoman123]

Could someone please explain what happening with the Batman sets? I ask because I don't see any relevance to the Man-Bat attack set or the Joker's steam-roller set?

[RelicRaider]

Same, we'll just have to wait and see, I guess.

[The_Chosen_1]

I was just about to post the link to the Thor poster! I'm holding out hope that Lego has plans for a set from the movie, but that hope is dwindling fast....

[deskp]

Thats kindof infuriating ig they dont make Thor sets.. The poster is an ad for the video game so hopefully the designs will show up in that.

The only Malekith in the game is apparently the comic one. Odin might though. It annoys me beyond comprehension that Lego would fail to produce a set for such an excellent movie that they have the rights to make sets of. why do it from iron man 3 and not this or cap 2?

TT games confirmed at Gamescom that all the Thor 2 characters and designs will be made available as DLC and, Captain America the winter solider designs will also come out as DLC

[Oky]

I was thinking it's more based on Avengers Assemble cartoon. MODOK is the second main villain ( next to Red Skull ). Another thing pointing towards this is the mention of a guy with wings, who is most likely Falcon. On the plus side of this the Thor in this set will most likely use the Winged helmet.

That's exactly what I was thinking! I'm hoping the dark minifig is Red Skull and that Hulk will have a different facial expression and purple pants! Looking forward to this set!

Everything else sound very meh so far as it sounds like we'll be getting a lot of repeats, but I'll stay open minded until I see some pictures myself.

This is what Hulk and Falcon might look like (although I hope Falcon will comes with hair like in the videogame):

Could someone please explain what happening with the Batman sets? I ask because I don't see any relevance to the Man-Bat attack set or the Joker's steam-roller set?

Well, the way I see it, 76013 is the steamroller set, with the "truck" being the steamroller and the "Scarecrow" being Joker. I can see how one could mistake Joker for Scarecrow since they both have a lightly colored head and a hat. And 76011 is likely the Man Bat set with the black shark-shaped vehicle being the Batcopter. It probably looked like it was underwater because it was supposed to be flying.

Those must have been some really blurry pics!

[Moon_Knight]

We still have no idea if the first sets are from the movies or not. The photos are probably preliminary and my guess is they put the Avengers art on the boxes because the others images weren't done yet.

[CM4Sci]

Where'd you see the pictures?

-Sci

[Freddy Bricker]

I hope I'm not alone when I say I'll be saving a lot of money next year. That is only the anger speaking of course. I must agree with previous comments, why miss out on such good Thor character designs, and Captain America figs for a show that is worse than USM! There I go again, ranting before I see pics, but can you blame me? I too, like Moon_Knight think there is still a chance they just slapped on the Avengers logo for the sets. As far as I am concerned though, nothing for Marvel next year. I feel like my Marvel collection has almost no females. They really could have changed that with Thor sets. But no. I hope I don't get in trouble for ranting on and not saying anything constructive, my apologies to any of you who read this long rant. I'll try to hold myself back next time

[Moon_Knight]

@Freddy Bricker

I agree with you. You shouldn't rant, you haven't seen the images yet. Give it some time. We're all excited.

I was sure we would get sets for the new films but then maybe kids don't watch them and afol don't need films to buy sets, maybe the fact that they cant make them accurate to the film as another reason and that they can make better sets themselves, also the movie sets go out of date/interest faster.

It´s still weird to see Al Quaida and suicide in those films and in Germany Iron Man 1 and both Hulk films are rated 16+ but those films are what kids think about when they mention characters like Iron Man. The mainline comics are generally the same as movies or even edgier than the films and the cartoons are either depending too much on the movies image and have no identity of their own or are cancelled too early to get a decent following.

Too many Spiderman sets (seriously, I don't need 10 spiderman minifigures :P, though I guess the same could be said for my too many Batmans) and too few X-Men ones. :(

If this years Spideys are again the same as the USM one we got three times already it´s a problem. Spidey isn´t really the costume variation guy like Iron Man but doesn´t the USM show use a bunch of alt costumes? I always see yellow/red Iron Spider actionfigures in toy aisles so I think there have to be some more appearances like that in the show. If not and if there aren´t ASM2 sets planned (could see them released as exclusives or in a different wave but don´t have much hope now) they really should have put ASM Spidey in a random set with USM/comic style villains.

I hope not doom as we got him in USM already!

Bugle set Dooms head isn´t really what I would call a good design so I would like a new variation but it would be weird of them to do it just a year later, waiting until the set is out of production seems more logical.

It seems odd to me that they would make sets for a run of the mill (rather dull in my opinion) TV show rather than making ones for money making big budget blockbusters such as thor 2 and cap 2. It just isn't a good product and marketing decision. Plus we already have the avengers members from the movie line. Falcon could've just been in the cap 2 set had they made the right decision.

Doing Avengers Assemble sets makes sense. It makes it possible to put more than one of the movie heroes into a set, even in their movie costumes (or at least very similar ones), while not having to keep exclusively to sidecharacters and villains from the current movies which really don´t lend themselves good to playing fights. Completely ignoring the movies would still be wrong but the movies aren´t really good motives for sets. They have an unfitting story that doesn´t lend itself good to play sets (Cap2 is described as a political thriller ala Jason Bourne, Iron Man 3 is all over the place with buddy cop movie being probably the easiest choice) and the few sets we get have nearly nothing in common with the movies. A small set for each film with the principal cast in their current costume should be possible. One of the sets sounds like it´s WInter Soldier v.s. Falcon and Cap so that one doesn´t have a big problem but Thor 2 being absent feels weird. The new film is a bit dark and Thor 1s toyline was the weakest of all Marvel films but compared to IM3 and Cap2 it would lend itself the best for a line of its own with soldiers, knights and that big rock guy.

Hmm...set 76011 contains sharks and a black underwater vehicle. I really hope it's Black Manta and any other character from the DCU besides Batman.

Wouldn´t think so, a Black Manta set would require Aquaman and he is still available.

I`m not a Super Heroes fan but I`ve seen some blurry pictures of new sets:

Avengers logo on box

76018 - biggest set. Some kind of laboratory - 4 minifigs (Hulk for sure, Thor, one guy with wings and one with black hood) and strange "brick-built-minifig" with very big head (looks like minifig head but much bigger)

76017 - three minifigs (Cpt America for sure, two other guys - one is green) - olive green vehicle and motorcycle for Cpt America.

76010 - small set - Batman and Penguin (in some of yellow duck vehicle)

All sets in march.

Hulk set sounds like a definite buy. Modok and Hulk are pretty useful, Thor could come with his helmet and hood guy as Red Skull/Doom/Malekith is useful or sellable either way.

Cap set is hopefully based on the new film. Falcon/soldier and Cap v.s. Winter Soldier and an army vehicle sounds like a buy too.

Flying vehicle is probably the Spidercopter from the LEGO game. http://www.fbtb.net/...1jpg-883be4.jpg That thing doesn´t look like it´s designed solely for the game, otherwise they probably would have put flick fire missiles on both sides and not two flicks on the left and a net launching thingie on the right. Other people are probably White Tiger and Big Goblin. Sounds decent but not exactly a USM fan.

Ock set sounds interesting. Really hope it´s the Doc Ock from the game. Always found it weird to see classic Ock with a labcoat in the game trailerswhen the USM one would be a more obvious choice being in a show and having his own fig already. The arms would be hard to move but otehrwise he looks like from a set. The way his legs are completely green save for the white stripes in the front, this is the way LEGO would actually do the fig. Normally figs with labcoats in the games have their legs fully white safe for the parts where the real pants are showing, like for example the LEGO Marvel game Dr. Connors. Car sounds nice if it is more like Nick Furys car and not like a useless dotted prop like Metropolis Showdown. Other guy is probably Power Man so people can have the whole set of USM heroes.

Well, everybody is green and yellow in Spider-Man. Hope for somebody funny and useful but that fits nearly everybody. Mysterio, Vulture, Elektro, Sandman. I think I tend more to Elektro.

Okay. So it´s Batman, Batgirl and Robin v.s. Joker and Scarecrow/some dude. It didn´t sound appealing then and doesn´t sound appealing now. Maybe the Joker vehicle has a nice design but then again it is apparently a steamroller and looks like a truck at the same time. If it were the Slaughter truck from TDK I would have bought it Day One. Joker looks like he has a decent suit finally and Batgirl is nice but Joker gets repeated at some point again anyway and they probably won´t waste Batgirl for a single set.

Riddler set isn´t that bad anymore but I think I am going to take a chance and wait until they release a better (i.e. no New 52) Flash.

Sounds strange, wasn´t that Man-Bat? And who is even water themed anymore in Batman? Killer Croc? Probably a pass either way.

Already get Penguin in Arkham Breakout, don´t expect a costume change here. Wow, not a single Batman set that is appealing right of the bat. Will probably depend on the final vehicle designs and if I can get some good discounts, otherwise it means Bricklink for the Beware-Man costume if it is exclusive to these four sets.

Not euphoric right now. It´s an improvement from the other two years but still not right.

I hope I don't get in trouble for ranting on and not saying anything constructive, my apologies to any of you who read this long rant. I'll try to hold myself back next time

Let out your anger. This really is a stupid situation. Making a line for a movie that has nearly nothing worth to base toys on and then skipping the movie that lend itself better to multiple sets. This schizophrenic set design and wave assortment is worth criticising and if you can´t do it on the internet on a LEGO forum where else? In a conversation with your girlfriend?

I really thought they would have offered at least 1 X-men set. Seems that I will have to get the previous one eventually. Luckily Hulk comes in another set because the one he was in wasn't that interesting.
