agoodfella77 Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 (edited) Perfect reason to just have one thread set up for future sets in the theme as opposed to just yearly ones. Agreed. Very reasonably, there is a decent amount of gray area here. When talking about what is "Rumored" there can be a reasonable discussion about what is likely, what is unlikely and what is possible. After all, the title for this thread isn't called "MARVEL Super Heroes 2015 Only Things That Are 100% Confirmed and No Speculation Whatsoever" -- indeed, it has the word "Rumor" in the topic! At any rate, I am all for a general "future" thread where a broader discussion / speculation can be discussed. So, back on topic, it's odd that we haven't had a close-up shot of Quicksilver yet, really looking forward to seeing it. Edited February 8, 2015 by agoodfella Quote
elederberg Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 Agreed. This can be a lot of gray area anyway. When talking about what is "Rumored" there can be a reasonable discussion about what is likely, what is unlikely and what is possible. After all this title for this thread isn't called "MARVEL Super Heroes 2015 Sets That Are Totally Confirmed and No Speculation Whatsoever" -- it has the word "Rumor" in it! At any rate, I am all for a general "future" post where there can be more speculation. So, back on topic, it's odd that we haven't had a close-up shot of Quicksilver yet, really looking forward to seeing it. We haven't had a close-up shot of Quicksilver yet because its a store exclusive just like DC's Braniac Attack Set whose minifigures were released much later than all of the other DC set minifigures.

JaseTJ Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 It's completely off topic and I don't think pulling a 'America and most of Europe are free' is particularly helpful. I'd take the comment as a cue to be more mindful of what we're all posting rather than to post a condescending reply. I wanted to make a point about freedom of speech, but as far as I know most countries don't have that spelled out in their law. Excuse me for standing up for myself, and I apologize if I truly came across as condescending somehow. I'm simply trying to be professional. We're supposed to be adults yet some here have the restraint of a 10 year old. Name calling really isn't necessary. I'm merely trying to defend myself and others because I see little-to-none wrong with the discussion of the past couple of pages. As I said, if the mod wants to specify that something is definitively off-topic for us, that's his call. But as I and others have voiced, the topic seems to us to be broader. I'm sorry to drag this out, but I tend to be uncomfortable with my name being dragged in the mud, however pure the intention. If we could just wait for the mod to respond, rather than slander each other? I'm really not trying to attack anyone... Quote
wilson3a10 Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 LEGO Set discussion not Movie discussion! There is a whole Culture and Multimedia section for this kind of talk. Thank you for your compliance. But the lego release is correlated to the movie series Quote

If we could just wait for the mod to respond, rather than slander each other? I'm really not trying to attack anyone... Majority of the last few pages have been nothing but off topic. I wont directly quote names but here's some examples of what the last few pages have been: " Any chance in 2016 that Lego does a Hulk and the Agents Of SMASH set? I'd love to get She-Hulk and Red Hulk in a set. We've gotten USM and Assemble Cartoon sets so it could happen." I don't even need to explain how off topic this is, and that post alone triggered off-topic responses. "Awesome Galactus figure I hope we eventually get one like this: http://imgur.com/a/E.../layout/grid#19 " Awesome figure, but its a off-topic wishlist post that doesn't belong here in the 2015 thread. This post triggered the off-topic who belongs to where reply's that also don't belong here. "I know this is a little too far ahead, but just think about what the Infinity War sets will look like. There's going to be like 12 sets or something" Again, no explanation needed. This post also triggered a bunch of off-topic reply's which included you, which led into talking about the deadpool movie which doesn't even come out in 2015. "About Infinity War, do we know if Marvel is going to gloss over The Illuminati? Mr. Fantastic and Professor X are members, so it is likely. No figs for them any time soon either. On the other hand, Tony Stark and Black Bolt are members. We should be getting Black Bolt, and a bunch of other interesting figs, as we are getting an Inhumans movie in the future. Doctor Strange (upcoming movie) could take one of the places, and maybe Nick Fury could take another. I know how Lego could do the good doctor. The Eye of Agamotto can be made with the CMF medal part. The current CMF Dark Wizard's cape top piece is almost the exact shape needed for his cape collar. Namor has yet to be established in the movies, but he also plays both sides. He would be relatively easy to make with the CMF elf piece in black with fleshie ears. The make-up of the Cabal is equally spotty, with both FF and Spidey villains as members. All speculation, I know. I just wanted to share my thoughts. " Again talks about movies that don't even come out this year. And if you read the last sentence, if this person knows its all future speculation outside of 2015, why even post it here in the first place??? posts like these are what i meant when i was talking about some peoples restraint. I'ts obvious it doesn't belong here, yet they post it anyway because they "just had to get it off their chest" I could keep going with other off-topic posts but i'll just leave it at that since it should be obvious now that the last few pages have been completely off-topic. And instead of people trying to justify off-topic posts and go against the mods, it'd be easier to just put your pride aside, admit it's off topic, and move along. simple stuff people. Obvious off-topic posts are what i expect from a teenager, not adults, which is why i made that comment. If people feel like everything's been talked about already for 2015, that's not an excuse to post irrelevant stuff "just to have something to talk about". Instead of going off-topic, just go to a different theme and talk about on-topic stuff there. I'ts very simple to stay on topic if you just but a little effort into it...

Steph 104th Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 I seriously dislike store exclusives, and when they add exclusive characters it makes it even worse. Quote
raminator Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 It's not exclusive. Atleast in Germany... Quote
Borex Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 So Avengers are coming in april? And when are the spiders and the ant coming to our shops? Quote
blarghiflargh Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 (edited) So I looked over the last few pages and didn't see anything about this, hope it hasn't been posted. Amazon US put two Avengers: AoU sets for sale tonight(as well as Pirates 2015, Elves, and new City and Ninjago). http://www.amazon.co...r/dp/B00NHQFIRE Avengers Tower http://www.amazon.co...duct/B00NHQFMMU Iron Man vs Ultron The tower sold out quick but the IMvU set is still available.

namioik Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 So Avengers are coming in april? And when are the spiders and the ant coming to our shops? March and June, respectively Quote
thefyfe Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 All listed on Amazon uk but all temporarily out of stock - anyone buy them when available on US? Also what is this about hello carrier vip release in uk being pushed back?where did this info come from? Quote
blarghiflargh Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 (edited) I ordered the Iron Man vs Ultron and one of the Elves sets. Guess I'll see next week if they do indeed ship out the Avengers stuff. Helicarrier listing's up at US Shop @ Home incidentally. http://shop.lego.com/en-US/The-SHIELD-Helicarrier-76042?fromListing=listing Edited February 8, 2015 by blarghiflargh Quote
thefyfe Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 Just been on lego s@h uk and interestingly enough it lists hellicarrier as available 19th feb before I log in to vip.us site says March 1st - hopefully this doesn't mean general release is 19th feb in uk and no vip advance sale. Quote

lightningtiger Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 Ouch, 499.99 for the Helicarrier in Aussie dollars......pass. Quote
vriverajr3 Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 I find it supremely ironic that your post does nothing but point fingers and is more off topic than anything you've highlighted. Let's get back to discussing the upcoming sets shall we? Well, the person who quoted me earlier said they seen nothing wrong with the last few pages after going against the mod for saying to get back on topic. I was just showing him/her that they were obviously wrong. Some people just cant see the obvious so i had to lay it out for them like a kid. My bad. Also, don't be mad at me just because you were part of the irrelevant off-topic posts. I've posted my opinion on the situation with intentions to hopefully stop it, as to where yours and others posts did nothing but trigger even more off-topic posts than ill ever have. I'm not trying to be an megablocks, but its just dumb when people are clearly off-topic and then try to justify it to mods after they tell them to stop it. You were part of the problem, accept it, and move on. No need to get defensive towards me for calling out the obvious. There's nothing wrong with being wrong sometimes... Quote

You are quite skilled at calling people "kids" calling people "dumb", patting yourself on the back for being some kind of self-appointed mod and being judge, jury and executioner of "what the problems are and that you are right and everyone who disagree with you is wrong". Here's some advice: why don't you get off of your high horse and start contributing to the actual topics at hand now? (p.s. in case you don't realize it, you are proving my point about your own hypocrisy of perpetuating off-topic discussions -- carry on then :) And don't forget those microfigures too ? $$$$$$ lots of cash needed if you BL them. Does anyone know how much figs which were exclusive to similar large sets went for on BL? Edited February 8, 2015 by agoodfella Quote
Peppermint_M Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 Okay, lets put a lid on this now. First, Hi, Peppermint_M, A-F-FOL. As an EB Moderator I step in outside of my subforum when there are reports in areas I know the moderator is busy. Real life gets in the way of everyone, so I am stepping in to help Cornelius out. Now, Eurobricks keeps yearly rumour and discussion threads because it is more relevant year by year. There is a Rumour Mill in licensed for a reason after all. It would be really annoying if you wanted to find pics/gossip about Age of Ultron LEGO and found everyone talking about potential Inhumans sets. No one could find anything. As it is just on topic, miss two days looking in this thread and there is a lot of posts to catch up on. Hence why I am deliniating that this is for 2015 information and rumours and not movie discussion. By all means, mentions of no Fantastic Four sets and reasons are fine, FF is out this year and might have had sets, but now we know there isn't just let it drop. No need to drag Marvel character rights into indepth conversation. So, can everyone stop with the arguing and keep with the set discussion for stuff possible to arrive within the 2015 calendar year. I'm being pleasent as this isn't my beat, but it other staff or Cornelius wants then some people could be talking one-on-one with staff. Thanks. Excelsior! Quote
Robianco Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 Does anyone know how much figs which were exclusive to similar large sets went for on BL? I actually managed to pick up the parts to build Dengar, IG-88 and Admiral Piett from the SSD for around £10 each... I then sold a couple of spares I'd ordered the parts for to pay for mine. I think we're only looking at 2 torsos, 1 hair piece and one set of legs that are unique to the set so we might be lucky... Might take a bit of patience on BL but I live in hope! Quote
