Capt America Civil War Polybag

As luck would have it I stopped into my local Toys R Us to see if they had any new polybags and they did.  I managed to snag one of these Captain America's Motorcycle bags.  The nice thing is it was priced the same as a blind minifigure bag and you get a neat motorcycle with side card.

I'm not sure, but I'm don't believe the minifigure is unique to this set.  It looks a lot like the one you get in the Airport Battle set, 76051, but you don't have to shell out the major dinero for it.

The cycle is a nice minibuild and it even has a place for Cap's shield.

Better know your Minifigures - The Captain Americas

If you didn't already know the Lego world is abuzz with the announcement and official images of the new SHIELD Helicarrier mega set.  It looks pretty cool, I won't be picking it up way out of my price range and it's set #76042, so I'm interested to see what fills the gap with the new Avengers sets and the Stark Tower and this set.  With the Helicarrier set we also get 4 old characters that get totally new minifigures.  This might be premature seeing as there might be another Captain America minifigure with his mask on in one of the new unannounced sets.

Anyways so far since Lego has acquired a new Marvel license we've had 2 previous versions of Captain America.

The new Cap also comes with a dual face.

From the released photos  I can't tell if Cap's shield is different, but it doesn't appear to be.

A few new Lego Marvel Super Heroes sets I'm excited for.

If you're a Lego Super Heroes fan like me I'm sure you've already seen all the new sets coming out in the early part of this year.  The DC line as 3 new Batman sets, two of which are out.  Lego has announce that there will be 5 new Marvel Super Heroes sets 3 of which will be Ultimate Spider-man themed. I find that unfortunate. Especially since it looks like there will be no variation in the Spider-man minifigure. The only Spider-man set I'm really looking forward to is the cheap one featuring Electro. And to add even more redundancy there's even a new Doc Ock set.  Don't get me wrong I like the characters and the villain, but we've already had a medium size set that featured Doctor Octopus. And while  it features a new version of the character is more true to the comic book,  I think Lego could have drawn on some other characters.  I'll feature them all in a closer look when they officially get release later this year.

The two Marvel sets I'm really excited about are the two Avenger themed ones. Especially the Captain America set.  I missed picking up the old Captain America set. I kept seeing it on the shelves and passing it up for other sets. By the time I saw that it was going to be discontinued and went to try and find a set, they were all gone. And I definitely was not going to pay discontinued prices, so I'm glad to see that I still have chance to pick up a Captain America minifigure. And while I know that the figures are different, which is a good thing, I'm not too worried about it. Plus the Captain America vs Hydra set also features one of Cap's best foes, the Red Skull and a cool looking tank and Classic Hydra soldier!! I'll be all over this set. Plus this is a $20 set!! Perfect!

 The other set I'm glad to see is the Hulk Lab Smash set. Sure we've already got Hulk and Thor minifigures.  Looks like Thor might even be a new version, but it's the supporting cast of minifigures included that's so awesome. Seriously MODOK??!!!!! And he's got a huge head!!!! Plus the Taskmaster is a bad ass and  the Falcon, genius. While this might not appeal to the average Lego fan, any Avengers or Marvel Comics fan will get a real kick out of it.  And while I'm not going to rush out and get this set, I most definitely will pick it up at a good sale.
