Most tentpole filmmakers know that once plans start being sent to toy companies for various film tie-ins, your movie is about to be spoiled. The toy companies need plenty of lead time to develop and produce a large amount of product, and specs start coming out in the months leading up to a film’s release. J.J. Abrams famously fought to have the USS Vengeance toy from Star Trek Into Darkness held off until the last minute, and he and Lucasfilm/Disney are working together on Star Wars: The Force Awakens to ensure that the sure-to-be-insanely-profitable toys don’t spoil the movie. Which leads us to today’s bit of business, the Avengers: Age of Ultron LEGO sets. Check out what they may or may not reveal about the film after the jump. Boxes for the Avengers sequel sets have landed online via Brickset, previewing what could be some of the major set pieces of the film. Sometimes in the recent past these LEGO sets mirror sequences from the film very closely, while other times the LEGO sets feature situations that don’t exist at all in the finished film.
More often than not the Marvel LEGO sets have turned out to be the latter (Red Skull appeared in tie-in sets for Captain America: The Winter Soldier), so it’s possible that these boxes aren’t all that revelatory. Regardless, here are the Avengers: Age of Ultron LEGO sets you can expect to see hit shelves next spring when the film opens in theaters on May 1, 2015. Iron Man vs. Ultron The Avengers Quinjet Chase Attack on Avengers Tower Burglary at the Hydra Fortress Your Lego® set guide Avengers: Age of Ultron Sets RevealedPosted by CapnRex101, 16 Dec 2014 01:00 The Avengers: Age of Ultron is one of the most eagerly anticipated sequels of all time and the LEGO sets accompanying it have garnered great interest too. Although set names were revealed a few weeks ago it was not until the last couple of hours that images appeared in a German catalogue. There will be six sets accompanying the film, all of which can be seen here. We have listed the set names, piece counts, minifigures and set images below:
76029 Iron Man vs. Ultron - 90 pieces - Iron Man MK 45, Ultron Drone Officer, Ultron Drones (x2). 76030 Duel with Hydra - 220 pieces - Hydra Henchman, Hawkeye, Thor. 76031 Hulkbuster Rescue Mission - 248 pieces - Hulk, Ultron Prime, Scarlet Witch, Iron Man MK 43. 76032 The Avengers Quinjet Chase - 722 pieces - Captain America, Vision, Black Widow, Ultimate Ultron, Iron Man MK 43. 76038 Attack on Avengers Tower - 511 pieces - Iron Man MK 45, Thor, Iron Legion Drones (x2), Ultron. 76041 Burglary at the Hydra Fortress - Piece count unknown - Quicksilver, Hydra Henchman, Baron Von Strucker, Hulk, Captain America. It is getting rather late in the UK, so I will leave it there for now, but expect further analysis soon. The last few Legends of Chima sets also appear on pages 82-84, so you can take a look at those too. This is exactly what I wanted to see in an Avengers: Age of Ultron line, so I am delighted with how these look. Post your thoughts in the comments.

What can we learn about the movie among all the brick-based Lego goodness? The German version of the catalogue was released on Lego's servers overnight, and has a bunch of new sets for next year, but the real interest is in our first look at the first 6 sets based on the upcoming Avengers sequel: We've known the names for a while, but this is out first look at them, and there's a lot of little interesting tidbits about the movie to be learned.
Let's go set by set and see what we can find! Although it's named Iron Man vs. Ultron, this small set doesn't actually come with Ultron at all - according to the catalogue, the robot drones included are a 'Sub-Ultron Officer' and two 'Sub-Ultron Soldiers'. This might be a quirk of the German naming here, but it's still interesting to note, as is the strange contraption the Ultron soldier is flying. Does Ultron's drone army build themselves a bunch of attack vehicles too? Also of note is that the Iron Man including in this set is specifically called the Iron Man Mk. 45 - the suit we've seen in the trailers so far (and turned into a fancy new Hot Toys figure) is the Mk. XLIII, or 43. Looks like Tony loses a few suits fighting off Ultron.Also, a new version of the Hulk plus-sized minifigure that's closer to the colours and look of the movies is making its début - as is a Scarlet Witch figure.The interesting note about this set is its name - it's a rescue mission. It looks like the Hulk gets trapped by Ultron, and somehow Tony needs the Hulkbuster to free him.
Or given the presence of Ultron in the set, is the Hulkbuster under Ultron's control - leading to the fight we see in the trailer? Also interesting is the Ultron figure included in this set. He's labelled as 'Ultron Prime', and has a different head and colour scheme to the more human-looking Ultron we see at the end of the trailer. We've seen it before though - it's the Ultron that graced the cover of Entertainment Weekly earlier this year. It looks like this truer-to-the-comics design is just one of the few Ultrons we'll get throughout the film. LEGO VISION OH MY GOD. We've had plenty of snippets giving us a look at Vision's movie appearance, and now here he is in Lego. Look at those colours! Also interesting for Vision seems to be the set's implication that the Quinjet is, err... dragging him out of the van that Ultron is holding on to. Does Ultron kidnap Vision at some point in the movie, necessitating this chase? Also to note that this is the Ultron we see throughout the first trailer - and he's designated as 'Ultimate Ultron'.
Presumably then he's the villain's final, most prominent form. There's not really much new in this set, other than a better look at the new Hulk figure and the new Quicksilver figure. As he does at the end of Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Baron Strucker has got his hands on Loki's tesseract-powered staff. Presumably, this 'Burglary' is one of the movie's opening setpieces. Is Quicksilver simply escaping during the Avenger's attack on Hydra, or is he helping them? Likewise, not much to say about this Thor and Hawkeye-starring set either, other than it looks like Tony bankrolled a nice new Jeep for the team to truck around in. Looks like we're finally getting Tony's tower as a Lego set, hooray! The 'raid' itself looks like it comes after the broken down Ultron confronts the Avengers while they celebrate together. We get the battered Ultron, his third variant across the sets, and two 'Iron Legion Accomplices', presumably similar to the broken early versions of Ultron Marvel has shown - but what we should point out is that one of the Iron Legion drones is carrying Loki's staff.
