Gooker1 Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Ah crap. I thought all things posted on the interwebs was fact. :( Quote
Zilcho Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 A guy in one of my lego FB groups did this tower mod http://imgur.com/A0z57IO Do you know how many towers were used to make this? Quote
Robianco Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 That looks like 2 sets but with an extra amount of dark bley slopes to make the base levels. Quote
Quicksilver Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Looking forward to it, i get the feeling we'll see our first glimpse of Vision and possibly a group shot of the Avengers surrounded by an Ultron Army :3 Wishful thinking... The first time we'll probably see The Vision is on April,23rd in the UK. :) Marvel is just holding the Vision back to create hype but tormenting the fanboys is all they are doing. Quote
MoxieBrown Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Yesterday I picked up the hydra showdown set at a walmart for $16.24. I checked the online price and it was listed for $19.99. I wonder if they didn't get it confused with the Cap vs. Hydra set from last year. Has anyone else seen this? Quote
Sir Gareth Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Should I pick up the Hulkbuster Smash tomorrow or hold off till Double VIP Points later this month? Quote
BrickSev Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Should I pick up the Hulkbuster Smash tomorrow or hold off till Double VIP Points later this month? If you really like it, I'd suggest to buy it asap. It is selling fast and beside you won't lose many "bonus VIP points" so it is a reasonable "price" for getting it sooner Quote
Legoman123 Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 I hope we get some instructions on how to make a tower like that because it looks awesome! Fingers crossed it's just two towers. Quote
ZionAzure Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Do you know how many towers were used to make this? 2 towers plus some spare parts. He doesn't know if he's done yet. Quote
Quicksilver Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 Yesterday I picked up the hydra showdown set at a walmart for $16.24. I checked the online price and it was listed for $19.99. I wonder if they didn't get it confused with the Cap vs. Hydra set from last year. Has anyone else seen this? Is that $16.24 with or without Tax? Because, Last year Walmart had the Doc Ock Truck Heist and Cap vs Hydra for $14.99, so the store might have mixed it up. Also, I got the Hydra Showdown for $19.94 Canadian and Iron Vs Ultron for $12.94 at TRU in Canada. Quote
MoxieBrown Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 Before tax. I had a mind to wait a few months for a price drop before I snagged it but, seeing as how this could have been an error, I couldn't resist. Quote
Gilberto_Aguilera Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 Alright guys now that all the sets are out and most of us have had a chance to buy and build the sets, what would you have changed about the sets and minifigures? personally, i'd have tried to include a war machine minifigure somewhere, probably the hydra fortress smash seeing as how an extra minifigure could have more so defended its high price point, another would be making the actual fortress better, also the jeep is a little dissapointing, the quinjet is amazing, no problems there other than the lack of minifigure room, and the tower is meh, but it is intended for kids, so us more mature colectors can simply buy two when the sets go on discount and make it it taller, also, i think the inclusion of a bruce banner minifigure in the tower would have made the set all the more perfect. Quote
Brickcraz Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 I agree. They had plenty of great opportunities to in cloud more figuers. Quote
Butterfingers27 Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 Had they put Bruce Banner in the Avengers' Tower set as opposed to a 4th Iron Man, I would have bought it this weekend. Instead, I'll probably just get the tower itself and skip the minifigures in it. Quote
Ultron Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 I also would've put War Machine in the tower in place of tony. It'd be nice to get him in the darker gray and black that his suit actually is. I also would've put about 100 more pieces in the fortress to build maybe a smaller tower. Also an alternate face on the hydra soldiers so they're actually usable. I'd put Leg printing on Thor and arm printing on Iron Man and Black Widow. The iron legion could also use some arm printing to break up the white on their bodies. Scarlet Witch would get a less generic face and better leg printing. Also red friggen hex pieces for her. I'm being picky here though but I'm mainly in it for the figs so they all need to be top notch for me Quote
Neomars Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 (edited) Prices for the tower without the figures are going around $40 to $45. That's a price I could live with but it would be best to wait till more go online and the prices go down. It would be a good idea also for the fortress to possibly make it bigger. The price usually goes down to $5 more than half. Edited March 4, 2015 by Neomars Quote
Gilberto_Aguilera Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 maybe we could still get a bruce banner and war machine from the exclusive minifig from the game? or maybe just an electro/red rocket raccoon style polybag? personally i dont think arm printing on the iron legion drones is such a big deal, but it is on iron man and black widow, although, you could just use some dark red vambraces instead.

Zhagas Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 maybe we could still get a bruce banner and war machine from the exclusive minifig from the game? I'd dare to hope for Coulson but I think it's pretty much a lost cause at this point. :) We'll likely end up with some variant like a Sam Wilson cap or something but I'll hold out hope for getting some other fan favorite Avenger (She-Hulk perhaps?) Quote

I actually like the Sam Wilson cap Should I pick up the Hulkbuster Smash tomorrow or hold off till Double VIP Points later this month? Yeah like Bricksev said, get it now. Enjoy life today Gareth don't wait till tomorrow Quote

I know armors should look different but it's better than nothing Quote
agoodfella77 Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 Current BL prices for the exclusive figs are in the $40-50-ish range per fig. Obviously those prices should start coming down, but I'm curious, at what price (per fig) do people think the prices will stabilize? Quote

Obviously those prices should start coming down, but I'm curious, at what price (per fig) do people think the prices will stabilize? Are those for Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch, too? I have seen those prices for the Helicarrier exclusives, but not the normal line exclusives. Thinking positive: with all the Iron Man duplicates we can build our own version of the Iron Legion. I know armors should look different but it's better than nothing I am not complaining, as Iron Man is my favorite character. But, the love could have been spread around a bit. Quote

Yeah, I guess I should have been more specific. The Helicarrier exclusives are around that range. Quote
adotnamedstud Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 Scarlet Witch seemed to be the cheapest of all the Avengers! I got one for $6 with all of the accessories. Quote
