just2good Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 It'll probably be a TRU exclusive based on the fact that the set is fairly large and TRU has not had a superhero set exclusive yet. Well, it did have the Funhouse Escape 2012 set. Walmart had the Spidey 2012 set, and Target has the Braniac 2015 set. But, yeah, Toys"R"Us is very likely. Quote
Pointblank Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 Hmm.. I am surprised UCS Helicarrier is not being announced officially yet, given its mid way through January, and rumoured to be a Feb VIP release. Anyone at Alabama Brickfair seen or reported any sighting of it yet? Quote
Fatoran Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 (edited) Hey guys. Just a thought, but is it at all possible we'll be seeing the Helicarrier at the UK Toy Fair 2015? It's from Tuesday to Thursday. I'm going on the Wednesday with work, so may be seeing it then. I mean, if it's revealed there, I'd be a day late with any info (assuming there's anything I COULD reveal). Sooooo, yeah. But still, exciting! I haven't particularly followed Toy Fair announcements in the past before this year, so I have no clue how often they reveal stuff there. Think we could be in with a chance of seeing it this week?

kevkipo Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 So do you also have the description of the Quicksilver set? I really wanna hear it Quote
just2good Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 So do you also have the description of the Quicksilver set? I really wanna hear it No, as that set seems to be a retail exclusive not to Argos. Quote
kevkipo Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 (edited) No, as that set seems to be a retail exclusive not to Argos. Bummer, i'll wait some more then... Does no one have any up close pics of Quicksilver? Here are the other descriptions btw: Iron Man vs. Ultron (76029) Team up with Iron Man MK45 to take on the Ultron army in an ultimate battle! Defend against aerial attacks from the Ultron vehicle piloted by the Sub-Ultron officer. Take cover as Sub-Ultron troopers leap from the back of the vehicle and fire their stud shooters. Then activate Iron Mans Super Jumper to topple the Sub-Ultron officer and bring the vehicle crashing to the ground! Includes 4 minifigures with assorted weapons and accessories: Sub-Ultron officer, 2 Sub-Ultron troopers and Iron Man MK45. Duel with Hydra/Hydra Showdown (76030) Join Thor and Hawkeye as they chase the Hydra henchman through the Sokovia winter forest! Place Hawkeye in the cockpit of the awesome Avengers 4×4 vehicle and accelerate away. When you have the Hydra offroader in your sights, fire the flick missiles from the rotating turret and swerve away from the offroaders powerful stud shooter. Then launch Thor on his Super Jumper and disable the stud shooter with one perfectly aimed jump! Includes 3 minifigures with assorted weapons and accessories: Thor, Hawkeye and Hydra henchman.

Amazing Bricks Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 Bummer, i'll wait some more then... Does no one have any up close pics of Quicksilver? Nope, but i have the closeups on the other minifigures if you remember that. Quote

I haven't particularly followed Toy Fair announcements in the past before this year, so I have no clue how often they reveal stuff there. Think we could be in with a chance of seeing it this week? I'd say there'd be a good chance it'll be there, but a better chance for the Summer sets (not the Avengers AoU sets, though they'll likely be there too) to be there. If you get a chance to see them (Marvel and DC summer sets and the Helicarrier), and wouldn't mind giving us some details (I don't think they allow pictures at UK Toy Fair , though if you don't hear otherwise there...), that would be great.

kevkipo Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 Nope, but i have the closeups on the other minifigures if you remember that. Those blurry ones? yeah Quote
jzlego Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 Hmm.. I am surprised UCS Helicarrier is not being announced officially yet, given its mid way through January, and rumoured to be a Feb VIP release. Anyone at Alabama Brickfair seen or reported any sighting of it yet? I just got back from Alabama Brickfair. I tracked down the guy wearing the "Lego Community Team" t-shirt and asked him about the Feb 17th VIP early release set, and he told me he couldn't tell me anything since he "likes his job". I pushed a little bit and he was adamant about giving nothing away. Oh well. I also spoke to an assistant manager who work at the local Lego store, and he said he has heard the Helicarrier rumors, but has yet to see any confirmation on the set or a release date. Maybe we'll hear something soon... Quote

elederberg Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 Wait I thought the Helicarrier was confirmed Nope. The article from The Brick Fan was just speculation about how Alan thought it would appear at Alabama Brickfair. Quote
Scarilian Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 (edited) Wait I thought the Helicarrier was confirmed Its yet to be officially confirmed yet we have an unknown VIP exclusive release in February releasing to the public in March, we have the set name, number and pricing. Its pretty much confirmed at this stage other than us actually seeing the set, though they likely are unvieling it somewhere special soon and thus have been told to keep it under wraps. Recent details such as the new details released mentioning a Lego employee had the instruction manual also hint that it is real. Edited January 17, 2015 by Scarilian Quote
8BrickMario Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 The shot in the Detective's Office designer video of Marcos with the Helicarrier and downscaled Quinjet confirms the set's existence, but we have no other solid information on it. Quote

Yeah, that also. Keep forgetting that for some reason :L Quote
KCMatze Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 But can we surely count a snip of a pic in another video as confirmation? Not too sure about that. We all feel confident and sure about it, but the longer it takes, the lesser the chances for it to happen I am afraid Quote

We all feel confident and sure about it, but the longer it takes, the lesser the chances for it to happen I am afraid I suppose we can count it as official in the statement that their will be a Helicarrier shaped set coming out in the future with a Quinjet :P Though it is possible that the other information we have on the set could just be rumours and/or the set might be releasing later than we thought. Though their is still the possibility that they just want to unviel it as a suprise for VIP's in February :p Quote

We all feel confident and sure about it, but the longer it takes, the lesser the chances for it to happen I am afraid You're right because Lego are the masters of the tease......little tit-bits of either information or a shot of something in the corner of the room......time will tell.......though I guess a Helicarrier would be like a SSD in UCS and come with a handful of minifigs ?

TAFOL Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 (edited) But can we surely count a snip of a pic in another video as confirmation? Why not? After all, it has been done before. Edited January 18, 2015 by TAFOL Quote
kevkipo Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 Toy fair is the best bet to see more of the AoU sets Quote
Ultron Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 Toy fair is the best bet to see more of the AoU sets I thought they didn't allow pictures though? Quote
kevkipo Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 I thought they didn't allow pictures though? Not London, i'm talking Nuremberg or New York Quote
LegendsOfNinjago Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 People got pictures last year from London. They posted anonymously, but they were still taken. Quote
psqidexslizer248 Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 (edited) Toy fair is the best bet to see more of the AoU sets Lego hasn't allowed pictures of sets based on future Super Heroes movies to be taken at Toy Fair, EVER, and until last year they didn't even let anybody, but a select few, see the sets in person. Pretty good chance we'll get details of the summer comic sets at London and pictures of the summer comic sets at Nuremberg or New York, though. I thought they didn't allow pictures though? Yeah, they have not allowed pictures of movie sets in the past, and with AoU being a HUGE movie, chances are they'll take extra precautions to avoid potential spoilers.
