LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2014 Set Images

Now that I am back from being on holiday last week, we can get stuck back into the latest LEGO news and, in particular, 2014 set images. Brickset has reported that images of next year’s first wave of LEGO Marvel Super Heroes sets have been revealed in a catalogue.

I received that early 2014 consumer catalogue with December’s Australian/New Zealand LEGO Club Magazine and it does show five Marvel sets (76014 Spider-Trike vs. Electro, 76015 Doc Ock Truck Heist, 76016 Spider-Helicopter Rescue, 76017 Captain America vs. HYDRA, 76018 Hulk Lab Smash). All these sets will be released in March and April 2014.

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2014 Set Images

It seems as though LEGO is starting to take a different approach with the latest Super Heroes sets (the Spider-Man ones in particular ) and focusing the sets and minifigures on the comic books rather than the current films that are being produced.

This probably is result of MEGA brands (who are the parent company of Mega Bloks) has the license for the Spider-Man movies and LEGO has the one for Ultimate Spider-Man (a comic book series running from 2000 – 2009 from which a cartoon TV series was based off).

Personally, I’m not that much of a LEGO Super Heroes fan as much as some people are, but for this wave my favourites are the Captain America and Spider-Man helicopter sets.

What is your opinion on the first wave of LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2014 sets? Do you prefer the cartoonish look over minifigures and sets being based on current super hero movies? Share your thoughts on these five sets in the comments below.
