K-Nut Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 Only two? Depending on the jet, I'm definitely considering getting several of this set for the Shield Agents. Then again, if we're getting a generic one in this set... I think that bodes well for the Hellicarrier :D Completely forgot about the SHIELD Agent in the set. Then I might get a few depending on whether or not they go well with the helicarrier agents or the helicarrier doesn't supply us with enough agents. Yeah, I'm excited. Quote
Borex Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 We now know Sandman will have a big arm (brickbuild i guess), but what about the fig itself? Is it going to be a minifig or just a brickbuilt fig? Quote
elederberg Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 there was word HC would be announced between tuesday-thursday, so tomorrow is looking likely if this is to be believed? The person who told us this was lying, but I think The Brick Fan said that it would be annouced within the next week. Quote
DJ Bricks Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 We now know Sandman will have a big arm (brickbuild i guess), but what about the fig itself? Is it going to be a minifig or just a brickbuilt fig? Regular since I highly doubt we'd get two in one set? Quote

It'd make sense that the SHIELD Agent in the Carnage set might be based on Ultimate Spider-man (TV Series) so might not fit in with the movie-based Helicarrier, but its a good idea non-the-less. I plan on doing the same with Ultron :3 there was word HC would be announced between tuesday-thursday, so tomorrow is looking likely if this is to be believed? The person who told us this was lying, but I think The Brick Fan said that it would be annouced within the next week. TheBrickFan mentioned rumours that it would be this week however if we dont see it this week we will probably see it on the 28th. We now know Sandman will have a big arm (brickbuild i guess), but what about the fig itself? Is it going to be a minifig or just a brickbuilt fig? My guess is that Sandman is a regular figure, doubt he's anything other... given Rhino has a brickbuilt suit. Edited January 21, 2015 by Scarilian Quote
mattdev25 Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 How will Rhino work as a minifigure? The mech idea sounds awful...really wish TLG just made him a bigfig and stuck to the comics...(sigh). Quote

I plan on doing the same with Ultron :3 Fair, but I'm okay with getting two designs... How different could they be? In fact I'd almost rather get a variant. It would enable making agents of various ranks. :3 And yes, Ultron ^_^ Quote

I'm guessing its based on the Ultimate Spider-man TV Series so probably like this; http://www.spidermancrawlspace.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/rhino1.jpg Alternatively it'll be something like this; http://img4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140427193546/villains/images/8/8a/Amazing-spider-man-2-rhino.png Fair, but I'm okay with getting two designs...

Either way, I'm fine with multiples. Quote
Ceroknight Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 The non-Avengers sets sound awesome! Finally new Spiderman Variants! Looking at the prelim pictures of the Avergers sets look meh at most though Quote
d-delay Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 (edited) Here is how Alex O'Hirn (pre-mutagen Rhino) looks in USM. I think it would be quite hilarious if Lego gave us him in that brick built version - the nerdy target of bullies in the big mech. Although maybe the "mech" is not supposed to be a mech so to speak, especially given the organic look reported, but more of an example of the transformed state of Alex with Alex himself still "inside"? Weird. I'm not sure of Lego's history of dealing with organic changing characters. I guess they didn't give us a Norman Osborn inside a brick built Green Goblin... Just seems weird that it fits a minifig. An organic mech that isn't the USM concept or the movie one :/ I'm still gutted there's no White Tiger. Any chance there's an exclusive with her?? I have grave fears the USM team will never be completed due to female superheroes weak drawing power :( Edited January 22, 2015 by d-delay Quote
kevkipo Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 While all of you are just waiting for the Hellicarier, i am just keeping my "Patience" for Nuremberg Toy fair next Wednesday I hope they can take pics of the AoU sets!!! Quote
Risgrynsgrot Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 Why are you so obsessed over the AoU sets? We've already seen the pictures Quote
greeklad97 Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 I'm still gutted there's no White Tiger. Any chance there's an exclusive with her?? I have grave fears the USM team will never be completed due to female superheroes weak drawing power :( She could always end up being a SDCC exclusive... :P Wow, I really thought Marvel might have been outdone by the last DC wave, but after comparing the upcoming waves, it appears Marvel has done it again. Incredible what having almost complete cinematic control can do for a company, it really opens the doors for licensing a wider product range with multiple tie-ins. Quote
Scarilian Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 (edited) So, 'The Hulkbuster Smash' has been revealed, so time for thoughts; - Ultron Prime appears to have a piece that connects between the head and body piece in order to have his side spikes - Hulk doesnt appear to have the neck articulation i was hoping for from big figs like Mungus from Chima - Scarlet Witch looks alright, though the hair piece should have been this - Some transparent pieces presumably so you can have Iron Man flying, in addition a transparent piece connects the Hulkbuster head to the body - The Hulkbuster arms look a tad thin and the legs look like Chicken Legs... but it seems a good build Will probably pick this up as a cheap way to get the Hulk along with a bunch of other important figures.

deskp Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 - Some transparent pieces presumably so you can have Iron Man flying. The transparent thing is for scarlet witch as seen on box art. Quote
kevkipo Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 True, but it means we'll get the rest of the official images very soon :3 Yes, Quicksilver im coming!! Quote
Quicksilver Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 Weird though that the Hulk does not have the Avengers Pants on in the Hulkbuster set. Quote
just2good Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 (edited) Weird though that the Hulk does not have the Avengers Pants on in the Hulkbuster set. He does, it's just a printing error in that out of the box picture like the one with Gorilla Grodd. You can see the printing on the actual box, however. The fact that he doesn't have toe printing confirms this error. Edited January 22, 2015 by just2good Quote
Ultron Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 The Hulkbusters not bad. The only part that truly bothers me is the printed dome. It just doesn't look right. That part should've been a new mold. Quote
Quicksilver Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 I like that! It makes the one in the HYDRA Fortress set exclusive. Even more reasons to buy the Hydra Fortress! Plus Lego is getting it pretty accurate as from the trailer it does not look like Hulk is wearing the Avengers Pants during the Hulkbuster fight. The Hulkbusters not bad. The only part that truly bothers me is the printed dome. It just doesn't look right. That part should've been a new mold. Yeah, the dome piece is not the best choice but it serves its purpose. Quote
deskp Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 (edited) The dome head works great in my opinion, have you guys REALLY looked at the movie head? Edited January 22, 2015 by deskp Quote
