JeagerEX Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 The Captain America set is supposed to be based on the sequel film, but it confirmed that Winter Soldier did not appear in this set. I hope the X-Men set will feature Emma Frost because she's my fave X-Men Character. Plus Cyclops and Storm too. Quote
legofreak86 Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 I'm happy to finally see red skull in a set as that was a huge gap in our collections and with a hydra agent no less or maybe even baron strucker. What colour was the prelim captain America figure light blue?, Dark blue? if he is based on the comics as it seems these sets are based on some kind of cartoon/comic then we could see a lighter variation of cap hopefully. It would be nice also to either get a TDW thor design or a comic styled one like in the avengers EMH. Overall this wave is shaping up to be quite alright. I'm sure people will start to realise who this mystery villain is when the prelims leak like they did with the Spiderman and dc sets. To be quite honest if it was hob goblin that would be fantastic! I remember mark Hamill portraying him in the old 1994 animated TV series and every word that came out of his mouth was comedy gold like what Hamill did with the joker so to get a figure of him would be superb.

just2good Posted October 28, 2013 Author Posted October 28, 2013 (edited) I didn't realise that. My bad. Awkwardly shuffles out.... It's fine, I don't think anyone mentioned that before. Perplexing... What sort of shield/sword was it? Was the purple and orange split so the legs had orange bits and the torso purple or was it sort of just distributed through the design. What fleshie head did it use? Did the face have any expression? I can't put my finger on who this is as none of my thoughts seem to match up an image of a character with the character you describe. Unless did he look like this guy? http://images1.wikia...Hobgoblin.gifI The Fleshie could be a stand in for olive green face and the black hood and cape could be a stand in for a purple hood and cape. Just a thought there. Shoot, I made a mistake. The guy with the sword does not have a fleshie head. It's a grey head. My bad! The head has a neutral face, but I cannot see the specific facial expression clearly. That image you posted doesn't load for me. He had orange arms and legs, a purple hinge (that thing that connects the legs), darkish blue or purple torso, black hood, and a white cape. The shield is a black non-printed round shield (Captain America's shield mould), and the sword is the one used by Gandalf. I'm happy to finally see red skull in a set as that was a huge gap in our collections and with a hydra agent no less or maybe even baron strucker. What colour was the prelim captain America figure light blue?, Dark blue? Dark blue, but I think it's just because it's the basic computer renders that they use for very basic preliminaries. He's on Wolverine's Motorcycle, and Red Skull (?) is holding the Cosmic Cube. Edited October 28, 2013 by just2good Quote

Well if he has a white cape, I think it just might be taskmaster. Darn, I actually really liked the idea of a lego Arnim Zola. And do we know yet how many X-Men sets we'll be getting? And why wait till March for Marvel? If the first 3 sets are based on Ultimate Spiderman, than what's holding lego up with the release? And is DC getting any more sets for the year? It'd be a shame to go another year with only the bat family and a random member of the league in a set. At this point, we may have half of the hero's marvel has by the end of the license. So any word on late DC/X-Men sets? Edited October 29, 2013 by Freddy Bricker Quote

After the mention of the black hood(stand in for white) with white cape and grey face and plus the fact he has orange arms and a possible dark blue torso taskmaster seems the only candidate that would fit. My guess is the grey face will be printed with a skull on the final version the only thing that doesn't quite add up is the orange legs. Thw shield and sword design sound very taskmaster. I'm gonna guess it is taskmaster as this image sounds like what you said: http://static.comicvine.com/uploads/original/9/97890/1736828-taskmaster__earth_616_.png Quote

All we know so far is that we're getting more Marvel sets later in the year based on X-Men and Guardians of the Galaxy. There's been no word on how many sets either theme will be getting. We're also rumoured to be getting Green Lantern in a set next year, but we don't know if it will be a DC Superheroes set or The Lego Movie. Quote
legofreak86 Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 (edited) So to sum up this wave it appears we have quite a few new figures/designs. Dc: Batman (black, grey and dark blue aqua suit), Robin (new hooded with green classic design), Nightwing (new 52), Batgirl, man bat, New joker, possible new penguin, new riddler, new henchman and the flash. Marvel: Spiderman possibly with a new dark blue variant in one set, Green goblin (USM), power man, Mary Jane Watson, updated or new doc ock, electro, a driver, Captain America (possibly a new design), thor (possibly a new design) and hulk maybe with new pants, Task master, modok, finally a red skull, falcon and a hydra agent. Not bad for the winter/spring line. The summer will be xmen hopefully yielding some new characters and guardians of the galaxy which I have no idea of what to expect from that.

At this point, we may have half of the hero's marvel has by the end of the license. So any word on late DC/X-Men sets? Yeah, I really think it's Taskmaster. Considering he was in the video game, the white hood piece was leaked, and that the dude in the preliminaries has a sword, shield, and grey face. No X-Men sets were in the catalog, and only the four DC sets were in the catalog. I think LEGO only can release sets two waves a year for Marvel (2012 had the Avengers/X-Men wave in April and the single Spidey set wave in August, while 2013 had the Spidey wave in January and the Iron Man 3 wave in March) so I think that they're releasing the Spidey sets and Avengers sets as one wave in "May" (which is most likely going to be April) to coincide with Captain America 2 and the GotG and X-Men sets in August as one wave to coincide with the GotG film. After the mention of the black hood(stand in for white) with white cape and grey face and plus the fact he has orange arms and a possible dark blue torso taskmaster seems the only candidate that would fit. My guess is the grey face will be printed with a skull on the final version the only thing that doesn't quite add up is the orange legs. Thw shield and sword design sound very taskmaster. I'm gonna guess it is taskmaster as this image sounds like what you said: http://static.comicv..._earth_616_.png MODOK (or whatever he's called) has the exact same attire (purple and orange) as Taskmaster (?) in the set so I really think the clothes are place holders, besides the hood (only Taskmaster has the hood for obvious reasons, but it also fits what he would wear). We're also rumoured to be getting Green Lantern in a set next year, but we don't know if it will be a DC Superheroes set or The Lego Movie. I really think he'll be in The LEGO Movie CMF Series as opposed to a set, but it's not confirmed. Quote
KingPixels Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 I'm very excited about this wave. Electro, Spidey variant, Doc Ock variant, Mary Jane, Luke Cage, Green Goblin. Then Captain America, Thor, Hulk, Taskmaster, MODOK, and Red Skull + Hydra Agent. Not too unhappy about not getting a Winter Soldier, he's fairly easy to do purist. Quote

At this point, we may have half of the hero's marvel has by the end of the license. So any word on late DC/X-Men sets? I don't think lego would want to upset either DC or Marvel by having a certain theme come out with more sets than the other theme, so I'm pretty if lego is going to make more sets for Marvel, they'll makle some more sets for DC too. Hopefully some sets like these... Batman-Showdown at Gotham Harbor: Batman, Deathstroke, Black Mask, Deadshot, Black Mask Henchmen, Warehouse, Crane, Cargo Container-49.99$ Batman-Gothma Police Station-Batman, Commisinner Gordon, Gotham Police Officer, Black Mask, Hush-49.99$ Batman-Bat-Boat: Batman, Robin, Killer Croc, Soloman Grundy, Sewer Lair-49.99$ Justice League-Hall of Jutice: Superman, Martine Manhunter, Green Lantern, Sinestro, Brainiac-49.99$ Any of those sets I think are possible since lego Marvel seems to be expanding it's terriorty in terms of characters.

Freddy Bricker Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 Yeah, but I don't want to go off topic, nice sets though Quote

We usually get high-res pictures for these "May" releases in February or March, so hold in tight. Quote
djmangunz Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 I rarely complain about Lego sets, upcoming or otherwise. Ultimately they are designed for kids, not thirty something males who fixate on their childhood through purchasing and hording expensive plastic toys However, I have to echo Piranha's lamenting and wonder why Lego didn't do at least one freaking set for CA2 or Thor 2. Besides the lack of vehicles and the risk of putting redundant figures in the sets. What it all boils down to is the fact that I really wanted a Winter Solder figure. End of rant about a first world problem. Quote
just2good Posted October 29, 2013 Author Posted October 29, 2013 The Captain America set may be for TWS despite it saying Avengers in the catalog, as it says something about it being released with a movie in May. I don't know, I'll have to translate it. Quote
Repeter Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 Seriously? How these sets could even begin to placate the masses is beyond me. There may be a good minifig or two in the bunch, but most are fairly tired rehashes or strange variations that don't match up at all. Why would anyone even want a New52 Nightwing (at least give us a blue version first)?!? Especially along with a BtB Batman in the same wave? There is theme, no direction, no sense of location...mostly stupid vehicles that are so uninspiring I wish any one of a hundred MOCers on this very site had gotten to plan them instead. Who is planning these? The only excuse is that committee after committee must've vetoed all the 'cool' out of them. The Joker steamroller is a big miss, if that is what we get. That could've been cool, but it's not. I guess the Penguin vehicle is pretty good, but it might just look that good because of all the Blahsville around it. In fact, the whole DC/Marvel/Disney/Fox/TLG miasma depresses me. I just want some good sets, some themes--both movies and classic/toon. Gimme some bases, some iconic structures or vehicles (HeLLOOOoooo, Star Labs? the Fantasticar? The Blackbird? The Watchtower? The Danger Room? Just to name a few...how hard is this?). I am pretty sure too many people within the various corporate entities involved in these projects are trying to justify a professional existence by having opinions. Great super hero product is never going to come out of that. Quote

Navy Trooper Fenson Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 (edited) Ok, I've seen prelims of the two other sets we haven't seen yet:-76017: Includes Captain America on a red motorcyle (different than the last one, think Mutt Williams) Red Skull (red head, black body) and some green guy with yellow hands. The vehicle is olive green and has 8 wheels. It's some sort of terrain vehicle, as the background is set in a snowy area. Two long antennas in the back. -76018: MODOK (head is a huge 3D minifigure head in grey), Falcon, Thor in a prison cell similar to the Helicarrier Breakout set, and some purple/orange guy in a black robe holding a shield and sword. Overall, it looks really blocky and there's studs everywhere. Black stairs leading to the prison cell on the right side, a yellow railing, and a huge breakable wall in the middle, which Hulk is bashing through. There's also some sort of yellow robot drone with 4 legs. -Sci Don´t know what I wanted more: a Winter Soldier set or a set with the classic Skull v.s. Cap. I guess the Jeep and Cap will be horrendous modern style. At worst probably even the same Cap fig as the Ameri-Cycle set with the same botched face printing. I just want classic comic-Cap with his wings or at least any of the outfits from Cap 1. Modok set is a bit better with Taskmaster now but I don´t think he can save the set. Probably a good value if it gets a price drop but it would have to be a regular store set for that which I am not expecting right now. What colour was the prelim captain America figure light blue?, Dark blue? if he is based on the comics as it seems these sets are based on some kind of cartoon/comic then we could see a lighter variation of cap hopefully. Seeing how the Marvel game includes apparently every character that gets released in the Spidey sets, Red Skull and Modok I would expect Thor and Cap to be either the movie version figs (which would be identical to the Assemble cartoon anyway) or the comic-versions where Cap is regular blue (haven´t seen more than the icon) and Thor has no helmet, light blonde eyebrows and looks exactly like from one of the 60s comics with regular blue pants and a simple black torso with dots. I could have sworn someone said that the Winter Soldier was in one of the Avengers sets. Sounds like that dream has been crushed. They got all necessary parts. Either LEGO knows that their IM3 sets were crap and now release movie-tie ins always a couple of months later like TDKR or Winter Soldier is a polybag or promotional figure. I mean really, that NinjaGo gets mouth masks this year that also fit the character is one thing but metallic arms, too? That must have been planned with Winter Soldier in mind. And even if it fails, we could still kitbash him thanks to the NinjaGo sets. Edited October 29, 2013 by Navy Trooper Fenson Quote
Ultron Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 Well if the set is called "Hulk's Laboratory" maybe this orange/purple figure is somehow bruce banner? I'm not sure how the orange would pan in, but he does wear purple pants. I don't know what the hulk would need a lab for unless he was bruce. Quote

JVM Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 (edited) Like all of the new minifigs, but really baffled by most of the sets. The Doc Ock and the small sets are the only ones I think I'd buy in full. Of course, these are only prelims. I kind of wish we'd get more locations and less vehicles though. Also really pleased to hear we'll get a Red Skull. And omw, is that a classic Robin in the Juniors set? I'll have to get his head at the very least. Batman-Showdown at Gotham Harbor: Batman, Deathstroke, Black Mask, Deadshot, Black Mask Henchmen, Warehouse, Crane, Cargo Container-49.99$Batman-Gothma Police Station-Batman, Commisinner Gordon, Gotham Police Officer, Black Mask, Hush-49.99$ Batman-Bat-Boat: Batman, Robin, Killer Croc, Soloman Grundy, Sewer Lair-49.99$ Justice League-Hall of Jutice: Superman, Martine Manhunter, Green Lantern, Sinestro, Brainiac-49.99$ An entire wave of $50 sets? No thanks. That said, of all these ideas, the one I love most is the Gotham Police Station :) A standard LEGO wave should be a $15 set, a $20 or $25 set, a $30 set, a $40 or $50 set and a $70 set.

Ceroknight Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 Oh wow, I just noticed the Junior sets have normal minifigures! I literally bought the Spiderman/Venom set yesterday for the minifigures! Ah well...honestly, the Marvel lineup seem lacking..and I don't get the hate on Joker's Steamroller! I think it's brilliant! Quote
