What's intriguing is that in EB they were discussing a leak of a blue/purple-gold IM that showed up a long time ago (I check the leaks almost daily and even I don't remember that, but if some of the users associated with leakers talk about it then I assume it's legit). There was some arguing that it could've been for Igor but turns out he's all brickbuilt, and no one thinks the AOU Iron Legion will come back in Endgame. Obviously this all points to Rescue. I'll try and find related posts and edit them in here.
I've seen that, but it actually seems to be the IM helmet piece in Blue with Gold faceplate. Check my previous post again - I went through the last 10 pages of EB discussion and these are the most related posts I found.
Thinking about it now, I honest feel like I have seen it. It was just the helmet... But IDK if I’m making things up or not.
Speaking of Iron Man armors, I'm curious to see how Lego would have handled some of the other suits like the Mark 35 or Mark 26.
35 - could've technically kept it as it is (claw hands ) or use the bar-with-stud piece with an exo-force claw part. 26 - minifig/brickbuilt accessories that you just put onto the hand. Also time for some fiery leaks!
The back of the head makes me think the original spinjitsu master, tho I think that also may just be a show accurate WU head
Any double VIP or cool freebies coming up @ the LEGO Shop? I want to buy Cloud City but if something is coming up I would rather wait.
If you can wait until May 4 I bet there'll be double VIP points as usual plus a Star Wars themed gift.
There has usually been double points at some point in March, but since they’ve changed how they do the calendar (don’t mention the 2x VIP and some of the GWP anymore) we don’t know when exactly. As above though, May is also a safe bet.
Quite a damn lucky find today at WHSmith - 6865 Cap's Avenging cycle from the OG 2012 Avengers line. Box looked like it's been to hell and back.
I was at Brick Universe yesterday. Awesome stuff as always. Loved these custom figures by Big Kid Brix Fabio! Picked up a loose Nebula and Loki
That's really cool. Digging the One World Trade Center (Freedom Tower) and NASA space shuttle MOCs. Puts my little MOCs to shame for sure. Speaking of which, I've been working on rebuilding and expanding the Star Wars Final Duel (aka Death Star 2 Emperor's throne room set 75093) over the weekend. More or less finished the turbolift area (they should have included this instead of the sliding bedroom doors, IMHO). The interior cylinder can actually rotate with a knob from the very top to open/close the door and reveal Luke and Vader inside. It's a gimmick I stole from The Last Jedi Snoke's Throne Room set. Still working to reshape the rest of the throne room with more steps and plates. So far, so good.
That Imperial Star Destroyer is also quite impressive. Really hope we get a UCS set of one this year or the next.
