Taxes.... no $$$ for new sets...-_- (avengers & s7s)

these guys are out! its a bit steep for what i'm getting... and wolverine is a nice addition to have. altho, i am ecstatic about having a deadpool and a magneto figure soon....hmmm wonder which set will have the black widow figure? (they are currently showing three sets, one with steve rogers, one with logan, wade, and erick, and one with hulk, hawkeye (?), and loki) i'm noting that they have not brought any mention of the sets that will contain tony, sasha, and dr blake)


lastly, i got this in an email. i dont know if thats alot of sets sold or not, mostly because my own pile from that year alone towers over 24 ft high easily. and the local LS sells ALOT of Lego sets. easily 600k-2 million worth in a month. are they referring to my LLS or statewide, or nationwide, or worldwide or what? where do they get these statistics from?

(as mentioned... series 7 is out. i'm not going to rush. i'm going to wait a month before i pick mine up this time around.)

DC Universe was OK. Avengers look Better!

yes... the previous post was a joke. =D altho those figs should be coming soon.


these figs however, are NOT a joke, and are coming soon to a toys store, target, or Lego store near you. there's alot of chatter about how iron man's helmet is too big for him, but how else would TLG be able to make a moving visor for tony stark? if the helmet is made to show his face... why isnt there a suit for him to remove, and why is steve roger's mask stuck to his face? where are the trademark ears on the side of his head? side note... black window... that hairpiece looks like the new standard for all the pretty ladies (eg serena, hawaiian girl, and dr. pamela lillian Isley).

Marvel Minifigs + LOTR

i have been seeing lots of pictures on google lately with the upcoming sets. The batman sets weren't as great as i had hoped for, and was centered mostly around the figures itself. They seemed like glorified minifigs with some accessories. with that said, the batcave is pretty nice afterall compared to the other larger sets. can't beat the smaller sets.

The marvel sets.... i wonder what kind of sets will be surrounding them. i'm guessing that capt america will have a jeep, if he had that lab where he transformed it would be rad. it'd come with minifigs like before and after, the girl, and howard stark. =]
The hulk... he has the ogre mold. so his feet can't move. not that he would really need to anyways, as he goes "hulk smash!" and thrusts his arms into the ground. Other then marvel vs capcom, the hulk doesnt really kick. He doesn't "walk" neither, he just jumps several miles at a time. so that works out.
i can't tell if wolverine's hands are just claws and if they can hold items. so far, my own wolverine has the similar hair piece, a head from the power miners set, a bomber jacket and the claws from the prince of persia set in his hands. will he be the only xmen released? cool to have a gambit, jean grey (or dark phoenix), cable, beast, and professor X (ok that dopey cyclops too maybe, but we know TLG will make him with no unique pieces, just slap on some old ice planet pieces and a new torso).
Hoping the figs from SDCC are real as well. still waiting for thor. iron man looks silly. looks like they arent going to make a Mark IV edition (circle on chest). Complete the avengers... bring in black widow! (woohoo a scarlett johansson minifig! LOL.) and maybe a slightly larger minifig. flashlight sized. The ant man.



LOTR minifigs.... since its in the realm of fantasy, i'm having high hopes for the sets. hobbit huts, castles, mage towers, and walking trees. But hopefully these sets aren't here to replace the medieval and castle themes. don't get me wrong, i love the POTC sets...but don't like them replacing the classic pirates theme.
