undeadpool Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 the marvel figures are obviously prototypes and were just shown to create hype, i cant wait to see the final versions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 I'm actually of the opinion that Marvel Legos may be able to actually help sell Minimates. When parents don't want to spend $25 - $100 for a set of Legos just to get one Lego minifig, they may decide to buy a pack of 2 Minimates for $7.50 instead. It sounds silly, but it may actually help sell some Minimates. TRU relocating Minimates to the Lego/MegaBlocks aisle would also help with that. Although they haven't actually said if they are selling these individually (as the various series of blind pack Minifigs) or if they will make sets, have they? I'm not a DC guy by any means, but I would definitely buy a Lego Invisible Plane with Wonder Woman set!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hellpop Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Lego Iron Man looks like they stuck a Mega Block head on him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twisted Two-Face Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Pretty underwhelmed with the Marvel sets. After the Batcave, the Funhouse, and even the Lexbot, the best they could do was a helicopter, a very small part of SHIELD interior, and a Quinjet?? Even Cap's cycle i was hoping would have some scenery. Sigh. And Loki escaping on a van is the funniest thing EVER. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minivenom Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Deadpool looks cool. Not real impressed with Iron Man's helmet. Looks way too big for his body. I'm hoping this isn't the final design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dj87 Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 go to agree, the Marvel sets are pretty underwhelming, and Iron Man looks ridiculous. Quite like Hulk, but he doesn't exactly look Lego-like, does he now. like I said in the DC thread (for some reason), Cap's bike will be pretty perfect for mates. It is the same model as the big generic cop bike. I have my Ghost Rider one it, and it is pretty huge, just had to give the handlebars a trim, of course. so... something for wave 42 Cap to ride.

symbiote1982 Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Maybe I'm just spoilt by Minimates and Mega Bloks renditions but these look ridiculous, bobble head iron man? some sort of emo hulk? I'll be steering my nephew clear of these, although I will have to purchase a video game if they make one, my partner collects lego video games (and I don't mind them all that much to be honest). I help out at my nephews school every week for a few hours, supervising/encouraging kids to play with lego, but all the stuff they have is oooooold and it's much better for playing with, I'm just not into lego's current output.

minivenom Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 I'm excited about the new Super Heroes lines. I feel like the new Batwing is weak compared to the first one, but I like the new Joker copter and the new Batmobile better than the originals. The minifigs look great, and the 2 sided heads are a welcome touch. They don't have the paint apps or the articulation of Minimates, but LEGO figures are cool in their own way.

Twisted Two-Face Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Turns out there's one set we did NOT know was coming: Ultimate Spider-man: Spidey, Iron Fist, Doc Ock. No pics of the set, just the minifigs. They look pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattallica Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 did anyone get any of these sets today? if so what are the aliens called in the instructions/back of box? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minivenom Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Not put here yet. Target's website lists them as available 4/8, but I've seen where some people have gotten theirs early. I read a review where the guy referred to them as alien soldier and alien general, but I don't know if that was the official name or just what he called them.

minivenom Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Just got the set, and they are not named on either the instructions or the box. Not even "alien general" or "alien soldier." Bummer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romeo Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 So far the only store around here that has them is TRU and they had alot of em. I picked up the Loki's escape with the S.H.I.E.L.D. truck since i could handle the $2 price increase over the $10 one for the Quinjet. Everything i saw referred to them as 'alien soldier'.

Twisted Two-Face Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Picked three of these up on Saturday (TRU had them early) and had them built by that night; Quinjet, SHIELD, and Cap's cycle. Quinjet is really the only set i'm impressed with; it's MUCH bigger and heavier than expected, and the entire team besides Hulk can fit inside. The SHIELD bay is really small, and so under-detailed to what it could and should be, however. That blank white wall kills me. This should have been a $100 set and had AT LEAST two FULL floors of the Helicarrier, not this one tiny bay to hold Loki. (That big meeting room in the trailers would have a perfect addition). Cap's cycle would have fared better, but one of his Shield stickers was missing, so i couldn't put the other one on, and that's just horrible QC for such a small set. The minifigs are wonderful though. All except Thor and Loki have back tampos (Hawkeye's has his quiver) and the detail is GREAT; Black Widow's belts are especially well done. Hulk is pretty great as well; nice and chunky. Hawkeye is my fav though; they really nailed that design down in their simple style and he came out fantastic. Not going to be buying the Wolverine chopper yet, and probably not at all; LEGO's done better choppers than that and they know it. Undecided on the SHIELD Truck, though i do really like the look of it. Think i'm more disappointed in the lack of a Nick Fury in any of these, really. I would have gladly sacrificed a Hawkeye in one of the two he comes in for Nick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have gladly sacrificed a Hawkeye in one of the two he comes in for Nick. I was kind of annoyed by that as well, of the 4 Avengers sets we get 3 Loki, 2 Thor, 2 Hawkeye, 2 Ironman(but at least they are different armors), 1 Hulk(understandable as he is huge), 1 Captain america(?WTH where's the Love?), and 1 black widow we could have done with Nick fury, Agent Coulson, and/or Maria Hill in place of a Thor and a Hawkeye and maybe 1 Loki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dj87 Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 while I don't have it hand, the Cap bike looks to be the same one as the deluxe cop bike. If it is, if anything, its a little big... the thing is huge, I have Ghost Rider on one I sprayed black. You'd have to trim a handlebars a little for a minimate, of course.

Mirymate Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Well... it's possible we'll get more figures later, lisencing window permitting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattallica Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 No, the Motorcylce in this and other "standard" lego sets are too small you need the larger ones from the "juniors" sets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystery Man Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Well, thanks for answering, fella's! At least now I can save my money and buy, um, more extra's of figures I already own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediJohnson Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Can someone with the Quinjet tell me the following: 1) Does the landing gear work? 2) Does the rear door close all the way, or is there a significant gap like w/ the Cars jet? 3) Does Cap's motorcycle fit in the Quinjet? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gambitron Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 I just finished putting together my Quinjet and it is amazing! 1. The landing gear in the back is fixed, the front landing gear rotates but it doesn't go up and down into the jet. 2. The back door closes up prettly cleanly 3. Don't have the motorcycle to answer that question Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
