Brick Fanatics has received information on what the initial line-up is likely to be, when they are released later this year. Thanks to Marvel Toy News we now know that LEGO has just rolled out all of its summer sets for the year and they are quite incredible, including one that I mentioned with the rest of the upcoming Doctor Strange collectibles.
At the time of writing this all of the sets are available either at their exclusive retailers or on the online LEGO store. First up a bit of a late comer since the movie has been out for awhile, which is the last of the Captain America: Civil War sets and that is the Tanker Truck Takedown set which includes the first of many MCU Spider-Man mini figures. This set also includes Hawkeye, The Vision, and yet another Captain America figure. So if you have all the sets you basically have enough Steve’s to create a mini army of him. But this set is a perfect addition to those hoping to finish off the airport battle scene from the film. This set is a Toys R Us exclusive in stores but you can pick it up on the LEGO online store as well. The next three sets are based on the Marvel Animated show Ultimate Spider-Man and these sets are just as incredible. There’s the Spider-Man: Ghost Rider Team-Up set which will include both Ghost Rider (Johnny Blaze) and the first Hobgoblin mini figure, the Spider-Man: Doc Ock’s Tentacle Trap which has the first Captain Stacy, Vulture, and White Tiger mini figures (with White Tiger being the last one to finish the set of Original Team Spider-Man from the show), and the Spider-Man: Web Warriors Ultimate Bridge Battle set that adds in Scarlet Spider
, Spider-Girl (Ultimate Spider-Woman), Scorpion, and Kraven into the LEGO Marvel Family. All images from Marvel Toy News Which sets will you be picking up? Let me know down in the comments.LEGO Releases New Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2 SetsIn case you’ve somehow missed it, Guardians Of The Galaxy, the surprise Marvel hit from 2014, has a sequel coming out in just a fewThis coming week, toys-to-life franchise mash-up Lego Dimensions will start its second year, and begin rolling out an even larger range of new inclusions than its initial offering.Harry Potter, Adventure Time, Mission Impossible and Sonic the Hedgehog are all headed to Dimensions over the coming months, as well as a surprisingly number of nostalgia-fuelled 80s franchises - Knight Rider, A-Team, The Goonies and Gremlins - to appeal to older Lego fans, perhaps playing with their kids.It also marks a slight change in how Lego Dimensions is being sold - now with complete movies in their own six-level Story Packs - as well as the usual Team, Level and Fun Packs.
Dimensions is completely modular - there's no continuation of its Year One story which unified the game's initial range of brands, although this hasn't been abandoned for good."[A story continuation] got teased at the end, and this year isn't the end of anything," producer Mark Warburton told me at EGX yesterday, "it's a continuation..."That said, this year will focus on the idea of Story Packs as a way to provide larger chunks of story than singular levels, for movies such as the new Ghostbusters film, Harry Potter spin-off Fantastic Beasts and the Lego Batman Movie, which will all fit into the Lego Dimensions wrapper. "We wanted to try something different [with Story Packs] and tell the story of those movies. This year is going to be a great barometer of what the appetite is out there, to see if people like our story or want something else. We'll see if the preference is that they want to play the whole Ghostbusters movie or Fantastic Beasts movie. :: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe - new Switch characters, battle mode and everything else we know
"There are ideas for continuations of the story, and there are ideas for continuations of the movies [and other IP] through some new free-play areas we've stuck in."Fans with sets from Lego Dimensions' first year will be able to see these continuations in new areas which take advantage of their existing toys. Dimensons co-director Jimmy McLoughlin told us back at E3 there will be new Doctor Who and Back to the Future areas in the game this year for people with those Year One playsets. Warburton says there will be at least one new Portal area, too.Another big change this year is the arrival of two promotional figurines not available to buy on their own. DC Comics hero Green Arrow has become a giveaway figure if you play Lego Dimensions at an event - and it has been given away a fair amount now, although the only reliable place to find one is via eBay and at a hefty markup. ("We never saw that coming," Warburton drily notes.) The other figurine is fellow DC character Supergirl - and this one is a little different.
The only way to currently get her is via new fresh Starter Packs of the game on PS4. It means collectors with the game already must rebuy the game's original portal pack on PS4, or wait for her timed-exclusive status to expire for news of some other way to get her."I keep stressing it's a timed exclusive..." "The exact specifics of that is something for [publisher] Warner Bros. I'm sure there will be more things to come..."TT Games is slowly teasing the figures and sets for the rest of its second year - it recently showed off its Lego Batman Movie story pack due in the spring of 2017, for example, and has announced but not shown franchises such as Powerpuff Girls for around the same time.Warburton says there have been no changes to the game's three-year plan, which he first mentioned to Eurogamer this time last year.But how about Marvel and Star Wars? Lego Dimensions fans have pointed to the cancellation of Disney Infinity as an opportunity for those franchises to find their way into Dimensions now instead - but it sounds like this won't happen anytime soon, if at all."
