Marvel Superheroes 2015 Rumors & Discussion

[Gatthekid]

I also want a set with Yondu. Possibly his ship?

[Legoman123]

I don't know if it means anything, but a picture of one of the boxes was an upright one, but it could mean nothing.

That sounds interesting, I hope it's The Avengers Tower. :-)

[StarLord1987]

I hope we get the wasp in the ant man set(s)

I'm dying to see quicksilver and scarlet witch , you think we will get pics around the time we got images from gotg sets?

I'm guessing a lot earlier. These sets will probably come out around the time the first Avengers sets did which was in March/April. We'll get some prelims beforehand and I'm guessing we'll get some good ones at Toy Fair.

[rexusprime]

@hulk_smash can you tell us something about the sizes of the boxes? I mean is there a small set? 2 small sets? 3 small sets? I hope you get what I mean.

[Tom Jurassic]

Was going to say, how easy would it be to get a Second Milano, and add bits to make it into Rocket's Warbird?

Pretty easy I'm guessing. An easier MOD (personally) I think would be replacing the yellow parts with purple to make Yondu's ship and/or just changing that pallet a couple times to get a full fleet of Ravager ships.

Avengers Tower would be awesome if done right. I'm not expecting anything with the size and detail of Orthanc - but it needs to be a lot more substantial than what the Daily Bugle set was. Something along the price point of this Police Station would be good - around four stories tall and filling out a 16x16 baseplate. Would be nice to get some of the heroes out of costume too like Bruce Banner and Steve Rogers.

I hope we get the wasp in the ant man set(s)

I really hope we get her too.

I THINK we will see Ant Man in both waves. The first one will be mainly Avengers AoU because MONEY! But we will have a Ant - Man set to kids get familiar with Ant - Man. Maybe on this wave there will be only one USM set or none. On the second wave it will be only Ant - Man for sure, some USM (because we still need white tiger figure), maybe an x-men set and a AA set ( with iron man, widow and hawkeye because we still need those)

I totally doubt that we'll see Ant-Man in two waves. They didn't do this for GOTG. Additionally, I do see the possibility of some USM sets, but more as a wave with Ant-Man. There's going to be five AoU sets. In terms of set numbers, we got nine in 2012, five in 2013, ten in 2014, and now at least five in 2015.

[Hulk_Smash]

Well the sets come out in March

And they seemed about the size of the first Avengers ones, apart from the tall one, and I don't remember seeing a really small one (alba caps avenging cycle)

[Piranha]

Tall one has to be Avengers Tower, as it plays a big role in the film (from magazine). I really hope it is a Marvel D2C as that is the only way it could be done justice. However D2C are not normally shown in catalogs, so that has me worried a little.

Five sets sounds awesome though, looking forward to this wave.

March? Alright, so they should have an early release in about February, like the IM3 sets and this year's USM/AA sets.

I understand that would be a Ant Man set on the first wave but i don't think they would only one for ant-man. That's where the possibility of Ant Man on both waves came.

Well the last tall box set was the Lex mech set. So i think this one is the Hulkbuster set.

Even if it was Avengers. Towe this seems like a medium set so. It wouldnt do the tower justice.

[Numbuh1Nerd]

Wasp is probably pretty likely, given this.

So we have 5 sets and 9 Avengers, plus at least one villain... Hm...

[K-Nut]

Well, with the first Avengers wave we ended up getting 14 figures (9 different) plus the Hulk in only four sets, so really about 10. That gives us room for the 9 Avengers and Ultron (plus a couple of extra drones that can be fit in with the extra set).

Yeah. We will get two wave, one for AoU and another mid summer for Ant-Man and.maybe USM.

Cant forget about Vision, hes important to the plot

[K-Nut]

Cant forget about Vision, hes important to the plot

I was counting him among the nine Avengers, though I did forget about War Machine. We also don't know how large of a roll Strucker has in the film, or if he's only in the beginning. I'm sure we'll get all the necessary figs.

[Douglas_Jon]

I honestly cannot see us getting any more GotG sets, at least until the sequel comes out. And as for the March release, is this just because A:AoU is released in April, or do all Marvel sets (inc. USM/AA) come out in March? (I was just hoping for some possible USM or AA sets in January to at least tide me over until the A:AoU sets are released).

It seems to be centered around the release of a film, though we did get some in March/April this past year for no movie. I doubt we'll get anything before AoU, though, seeing as we'd have probably heard something about it by now (and before we heard about AoU sets). We'll probably get a set or two in June to coincide with Ant Man. Whether it's Avengers Assemble or Ant Man, we don't know.

Ah, i think.that Rhodey will just be a cameo. strucker will probably be just in the begining, and we might have one set based on that.

[K-Nut]

Yeah. I feel like if Rhodey had a large part in the film they would have had him on one of the Comic Con posters they were releasing. He could just be a liaison to the Government in the construction of Ultron, which would mean he wouldn't really need to be in any of the sets.

More back on topic, a small set with Strucker, Quicksilver, and SW could make a good buy and get us a couple good figures. Just for $10/$20ish.

[Ultron]

Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch will definitely be in the more expensive sets, unless we get them in a different variant or suit.

is this just because A:AoU is released in April, or do all Marvel sets (inc. USM/AA) come out in March?

Age of Ultron actually comes out in May. We got the first Avengers sets in April and that movie also came out in May.

[DJ Bricks]

I got the feeling that 2015 will be like this year's. Wave one AA/USM (for TWS and ASM2) and second wave later in the summer for GotG and X-Men.

So five in March for AOU and a second for ant-man and maybe USM
