2014 Marvel Super Heroes Images Unveiled

This isn't exactly the freshest news on earth, but the 2014 Marvel Super Heroes box art has been revealed. The only major difference from the sneak peek we saw earlier this month is the better images. But we also know that the Spiderman sets are from the Ultimate Spiderman TV show and not The Amazing Spiderman 2, and the other two sets are from the Avengers Assemble show.

Note: The prices projected for these sets are merely guesses. So far no information has been revealed concerning price points.

76014 Spider-Trike vs. Electro. Minifigures: Spiderman, Electro. 70 pieces. Price: $9.99-$12.99.

2014 Marvel Sets

Thanks to an Australian consumer magazine, we have some new images of the 2014 Marvel Super Heroes sets. Three Spiderman sets, a Captain America set, and a Thor/Hulk set make up the wave. Not sure if the Spiderman sets are from The Amazing Spiderman 2 or not. The Captain America one appears to be a more cartoon version of The First Avenger, and I have no idea where the Thor one comes from.

76014 Spider-Trike vs. Electro.
76015 Doc Ock Truck Heist
76016 Spider-Helicopter Rescue
76017 Captain America vs. Hydra
76018 Hulk Lab Smash

Looks like a pretty solid wave. With some fantastic minifigures (Electro, anyone?). Expect more details soon.

New DC Super Heroes Set Images

Hot behind the 2014 Star Wars sets the 2014 DC Super Heroes sets have been revealed. As in every wave, Batman is the focus. But who's got a problem with that? After all, he's Batman.

New heroes and new villains in this wave, so make sure you check out all the pictures.

76010 Batman: The Penguin Face off. Batman makes his scuba-suit debut. You gotta love the duck-boat.

Superman: Man of Steel Sets Available at Amazon

With the release of Man of Steel now just 3 weeks away, Amazon is shipping the new Man of Steel sets.
Even though you'll have an army of Superman and General Zod minifigs, these sets are still great. Especially the new armor for the "bad guy" characters. And who doesn't love dark bluish grey?!

Buy them on Amazon.

LEGO Batman: The Movie - DC Super Heroes Unite Available

Amazon now has the LEGO Batman: The Movie - DC Super Heroes Unite available, and on sale for $9.99 (regular $19.99). I haven't seen the film, but judging by LEGO's previous films, it should be a fun movie for the kids.
The disc has a total running time of 71 minutes, plus, you get the exclusive Clark Kent minifigure. Can't go wrong here.

Buy it now on Amazon.

Free Iron Man vs. Fighting Drone at S@H

From tomorrow until May 31st, you can get a free Iron Man vs. Fighting Drone polybag set with any purchase of $50 or more. Offer is valid only at LEGO Shop@Home and at LEGO stores.
The Iron Man minifigure isn't exclusive to the set. It's also available in 6867 Loki's Cosmic Cube Escape.
Time to do your summer shopping!

Marvel Super Heroes Pre-order Iron Patriot Bonus

Walmart is having a special pre-order bonus for the Marvel Super Heroes Video Game. Pre-order a console version of the game and you will receive an Iron Patriot polybag.
Stinks for those of us that want the figure but not necessarily the game. LEGO's promotions are getting just plain annoying!
Thanks to FBTB for the info!

Jor-El Polybag Available on Ebay

This Jor-El polybag was found on ebay for $50. No one knows where it cam from. It's probably a promotional figure that was leaked a month ahead of time. LEGO has some explaining to do.
Thanks to Brickset for the news!

Super Heroes: Superman: Battle of Smallville

Brickset has posted pictures of a new Summer 2013 Superman set. Superman: Battle of Smallville. No word on price or piece count but you can see for yourself that it'll be a great set. The minifigures are especially good. Though the weapons used by the bad guys look more like a sextant than a weapon to me.
Price will probably be in the $40-$50 range. With piece count probably 400-500 pieces.
Overall an exciting set. Can't wait to find out more!

Iron Man 3 Sets Available at Amazon

Amazon now has the three new Iron Man 3 sets available for purchase. Each one is priced excellently, and has plenty of new pieces and minifigures.
Pick up yours today!

76008 Iron Man vs. The Mandarin Ultimate Showdown
76006 Extremis Sea Port Battle
76007 Malibu Mansion Attack

Marvel Super Heroes Iron Man 3 Sets

Images of the Iron Man 3 sets have at last been revealed. Actually, they were revealed nearly a week ago, but due to a busy schedule, and probably me just being lazy, I have failed to post them until now.

We'll be getting three sets, each with a new and different version of Iron Man, and a second Ben Kingsley LEGO character.

76008 Iron Man vs. The Mandarin: Ultimate Showdown

91 pieces. Minifigures: Iron Man, The Mandarin. 

Estimated price: $12.99.

76006 Iron Man: Extremis Sea Port Battle

195 pieces. Minifigures: Iron Man, War Machine, Bad guy with a scary face. 

Estimated price: $19.99.

A little spoiler here. Iron Man and War Machine work together to take down a dangerous villain. Probably one of The Mandarin's henchmen. Gotta love that War Machine figure!

76007 Iron Man: Malibu Mansion Attack
364 pieces. Minifigures: Iron Man, Tony Stark, Pepper Potts, The Mandarin, Evil Henchmen.
Estimated price: $39.99.

If the picture of this set has anything to do with the movie, then we know that Pepper Potts puts on the Iron Man armor and possibly fights The Mandarin.
I'm very happy we'll be getting a Tony Stark figure. No one hangs out in an armor suit all day.

What do you think of the Iron Man 3 sets?

76002 Superman's Metropolis Showdown

The first set from the upcoming Man of Steel film has been revealed. In it, we have Superman taking on  what appears to be an Evil Superman. I don't follow Superman or any of his villains, so I can say that I'm really not sure who the villain is. But judging by the outfit, it's a black Superman-suited Clark Kent wanna be. EDIT: His name appears to General Zod.

 76002 Superman's Metropolis Showdown
$12.99. :)
Release date: June 14th 2013.

LEGO Games Legends of Chima and Super Heroes

We'll be seeing two new LEGO Games later this year. 50003 LEGO Games Batman, and 50006 LEGO Games Legends of Chima.

Both should be available in the summer.

Thanks to Flickr user Motayan for the info!

War Machine Minifigure Revealed?

 I had refrained from posting this earlier because of it possibly being a fake, but because so many other sites have been accepting it as fact, and because I can't bear not to speculate, I have decided to post it here. If it's fake, we shall be laughed at together.
This War Machine minifigure from Iron Man 2 was listed late last week on Ebay. How the seller got this figure we shall never know. LEGO does seem to have a problem with Ebay sellers listing figs months before the release date.

If these are real, it means we will be receiving Iron Man 2 sets as well as Iron Man 3 sets. Because, as most of us know, this suit (with this paint job) has so far only been seen in Iron Man 2. In Iron Man 3 it gets a stars and stripes paint job by the US Military.
An Expo fight scene set would be great. With Iron Man, several rogue machines, and War Machine. Wouldn't a chain-gun look great mounted on the shoulder of this thing?

Marvel Super Heroes Video Game Announced

Imagine playing as the LEGO Hulk, running around a video game world smashing everything(and everyone) in sight! I'm sure most of you have wanted to do this very badly, I know I have. But want no more! Soon you will be able to play as the Hulk, Thor, Iron Man, and many other Marvel characters on LEGO's newest video game.
Though I don't usually get the LEGO games (unless they are extremely awesome), I will be getting this one as soon as I can.
Official press release below.

Marvel super heroes are assembling for an action-packed, brick-smashing good time! Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, TT Games, The LEGO Group and Marvel Entertainment announced today that “LEGO Marvel Super Heroes” will be available beginning Fall 2013 for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation 3 computer entertainment system, the Wii U system and Windows PC, as well as the Nintendo DS handheld system, Nintendo 3DS handheld system and PlayStation Vita handheld entertainment system. “LEGO Marvel Super Heroes” is the first instalment in the highly successful LEGO videogame franchise to feature famous Marvel characters.

“LEGO Marvel Super Heroes,” coming Fall 2013

“LEGO Marvel Super Heroes” complements the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes construction toy collection, which brings the characters, vehicles and action of Marvel’s renowned universe to the world of LEGO build-and-play adventure. There are currently eight iconic scenes from the X-Men, Iron Man and Spider-Man franchises available and more construction sets tied to the new “Iron Man 3″ feature film will launch later this spring.

“LEGO Marvel Super Heroes” offers an original storyline in which Nick Fury calls upon Iron Man, the Hulk, Thor, Spider-Man, Wolverine and other heroes spanning the Marvel Universe to save Earth from such threats as the vengeance of Loki and the hunger of Galactus, Devourer of the Worlds. LEGO and Marvel fans will enjoy classic LEGO videogame adventure and humor, while playing as their favorite Marvel characters.

“We’re very excited to bring a myriad of classic Marvel characters to life in LEGO form for some fun, family-friendly gameplay in ‘LEGO Marvel Super Heroes,’” said Tom Stone, Managing Director, TT Games Publishing. “Players will brave the ultimate mission to save the world as they explore famous landmarks in LEGO New York and take the adventure beyond Earth to iconic locations in the Marvel Universe.”

“Fans of both LEGO and Marvel have wanted this game for years, and we’re addressing that demand with more Marvel Universe characters than ever in a console game,” said TQ Jefferson, Vice President, Games Production, Marvel Entertainment. “If you’re a fan of Spider-Man, the Avengers, Fantastic Four, X-Men, Guardians of the Galaxy or scores of other Marvel characters, this is the game for you.”

In “LEGO Marvel Super Heroes,” players will unlock more than 100 characters from across the Marvel Universe, including fan favorites like Spider-Man, Iron Man, Wolverine, Captain America, the Hulk, Thor, Black Widow, Hawkeye, Deadpool, Loki and Galactus! The game will pack in a plethora of super-cool character abilities, combat-like action sequences, epic battle scenes, puzzle-solving and a unique story told with playful LEGO humor.

“LEGO Marvel Super Heroes” is being developed by TT Games and will be published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. For more information, please visithttp://videogames.lego.com/en-us/lego-marvel-super-heroes.

Sound exciting? Wicked exciting! The thing making me most happy now will be to see Cap's awesome shield-smashing abilities. And Spidey's web-flying from building to building.

Coming Fall 2013 after the release of Iron Man 3 and just before the release of Thor: The Dark World.
This will be a game you won't want to miss!

2013 Sets Spotted at TRU

It's that time of year again. The time when all the 2013 sets start appearing on different websites and in different toys stores. Don't you just love when TRU has all the new sets and the only ones you can buy are the ones that cost less than $20? Me neither.
Toys R Us now has the 2013 Star Wars, Super Heroes, Ninjago, and other sets available at certain stores. I've yet to be at a TRU this month, the prices scare me away from the door. And I can always go across the street to Target and save $30 on a Battle of Helm's Deep.
If you want to get your Christmas shopping done before the rush, get to a TRU now!

Thanks to FBTB for posting the news first.

Two New 2013 Super Heroes Sets

Two more Super Heroes set images have come up. No word on price or piece count.

76004 Spider-Man Cycle Chase
76000 Arctic Batman and Mr. Freeze

Aqua-Man, Venom, and Nick Fury make their LEGO debuts in these two sets. Not to mention Arctic Batman. My guess is a $20-$30 price range.

Marvel Ultimate Spider-man's Doc Ock Ambush at S@H

Shop@Home finally has the Ultimate Spider-man's Doc Ock Ambush for sale for the pretty little price of $30. I guess I shouldn't say finally, as this set was scheduled for an August release date. But at least we have it. And $30 is a small price considering the 295 piece count and the fact that this is a licensed set. But so far, all the Super Heroes sets seem to be decently priced.
This set should go well with all the hype from the new movie. So if you like Spider-man, get this now!

Deadpool-Marvel Legends Scale by M McCooey

Check him out! This guy is incredible! And this is M McCooey's first Mocpages creation.
This is one amazing figure! The detail in his arms, torso, legs, and everything is just crazy!

See it on Mocpages.

Spiderman by Mortal Swordsman

There goes a Spiderman... This is one terrific Spidy. Is it possible to get better positioning with bricks? And check out his six-pack.
