I heard more fast & furious cars. But I don't know which ones. I personally hope for the 98 orange supra & the 71 skyline from the movies. There's also supposed to be Porsche 963. These rumors come from various Lego YouTubers
Just sharing a quick mod for the new Spiderman. Basically just changed the connection point for the shoulder pads to the arms.
Got a full set from the two boxes I ordered from Amazon. I'm happy and now look forward to the duplicates that I ordered from Lego.
I put in two orders of the box of 6 minifigs from Lego.com even though it's backordered for 60 days. I don't mind the wait since I wanted the GWP VIP Pirates pack (been trying to collect five of them so I can give my Barracuda Bay pirate ship a full complement of 8 cannons). Apparently the free Pirate pack is now sold out (or rather backordered status, according to my most recent order).
Idle thought: remember when brick separators were rare, arcane things you had to buy separately? I do. Now I'm an adult who buys larger sets, and I have fifty of the damn things. This month, I've treated myself to BD-1! I'm impressed by how tight and layered the core is, the joints seem sturdy enough to handle display and what posing duties he can (with no postmortem fixes a la Wall-E), and just the fact that he's very nearly lifesize just eyeballing against the game is such a neat factor. I'm surprised I haven't seen a dozen color-swap MOCs or digibashes for the other skins in the game. Only couple nitpicks I have with just the short time in-hand are that I think the regular Lego red is a smidge too bright for BD's default look - maybe it's my monitor, but he looks a little darker red in game; on the other hand, the next-darker Lego red is too dark, so regular red is about the best option. I'm also still not super fond of any construction that has you shoving bars through technic pins; didn't like it on the AT-ST I've built, don't like it here - it just doesn't feel right. And...yeah, I wish we'd gotten minifig Cal instead of (or in addition to) the teeny minifig-scale BD. Also, my first time claiming this no-prize, but - called it last December!
Black Panther looks good, but... Another big, expensive display piece that I have no room, money or need for. Easy pass.
That aside, there’s been a substantial increase in the amount of stickers in sets. Don’t get me wrong, more detail is nice, but 15 stickers on a 30 dollar set seems a bit much in my opinion. Some of the details could be universal prints to apply to multiple builds and themes, but 90% of the time they opt for stickers.
"Hey, that looks pretty good for a Lego superhero helmet; better than Venom and Iron M--" *sees that it's SEVEN TIMES the price & piece count of the helmet line* "...never mind." Really boring for such a hugely expensive set that uses so many pieces, in my opinion. Easy pass. If you want an expensive Black Panther display, you can buy a frickin' Hot Toys for less than this thing. I guess the leakers got mixed up, and the mystery $500 set is probably the Hulkbuster? I'll just keep saving up till they make an X-Mansion.
