It's not yet big guns, but LEGO has put online the microsite dedicated to the Marvel range: marvelsuperheroes.lego.com.

On the menu, a sheet for each character with their physical and mental characteristics ... Still no mention of the Spider-Man theme, only the Avengers and X-Men themes are presented for the moment.

Another view of the Iron Man minifigure that will be delivered in the set 6867 Loki's Cosmic Cube Escape and that is already for sale on eBay. The seller is, need I say this, Mexican.

From the front, the minifigure still passes, but then in profile, it is still very very average for my taste.

Definitely, Mexico is a country that is really one step ahead of the rest of the world when it comes to LEGO ...

The same seller which sells minifigs by buckets long before their marketing also offers the minifig of Captain America which will be delivered in the set 6865 Captain America's Avenging Cycle as well as that of Wolverine that we will discover in the set 6866 Wolverine's Chopper Showdown.

Linconubrick threw up a cool idea in the comments of the previous post: Post in the comments of this post your predictions about the content of the set 9526 Palpatine's Arrest and if one or more of you find the right content with the right staging, I might even be able to possibly find something to reward him / her ...

Knowing that the set will contain 645 pieces, for a weight of 1.20 kg (!), That the box will have the following dimensions: 540 x 282 x 79 mm and that the public price will be 89.99 €, it is up to you to determine the most realistic....

To keep it neat and readable, I suggest you post your forecasts in this format:

9526 Palpatine's Arrest
Scene: Palpatine's Office / Platform, etc ...
Vessel: Yes / No / What, etc ...
Number of minifigs: 1/2/3, etc ...
Minifigs: Machin / Truc / Bidule, etc ...

It's your turn.

... and we still do not know how many minifigs will contain this highly anticipated set which is announced for the month of August 2012.

At this rate, it would be better if it contained at least six: Mace Windu, Saesee Tiin, Agen Kolar, Kit Fisto, Anakin and Sidious / Palpatine ....

Information on the price of the set and the number of pieces it will contain was given by Sir von Lego on the Eurobricks forum, as was the public price of the set 10225 UCS R22-D2 which will therefore be € 179 ... A price that will certainly cool some who hoped for a price lower than 150 € ...

Here are some pictures taken from the HD video of Mike and Kurt's presentation of the 10225 Ultimate Collector Series R2-D2 set.

These close-ups will allow you to distinguish more easily than in the video the key functions of this astromech droid. Retractable central leg, control housed in one of the side legs, telescopic arm, retractable circular saw, etc ...
