To me, it will help. I want both and will pair them with the Ferris Wheel and Fairground Mixer.

Go all in - use Grand Carousel

will that hurt or help Funhouse... hmmm

I also think that Jokerland will help the Funhouse as the size difference is significant enough to sell better as a pair.

And Harley is different.

JokerLand looks really good, as do the majority of these. Tons of great minifigs as well, I`m impressed with this batch. Mugs up Lego!

I can almost hear Chinese fake factories revving up...

A little early to start that conversation going, isn't it?

Oh you had to mention that did you!!! Damn cheap plastic fakes!

 

Well you know what they say, where there`s gold there is also plenty of brass. 

Keep the counterfeit talk where it belongs please.

Well, it was taking for GhostDad too long...

That Rhino is a fail......would have been much better to do a simple maxi figure rather than the Paul Giamatti version

I just think there is a huge lack of detail in it. Looks like a 5 y/o designed it.

The ant-man set is cool... especially the huge lego bricks !

Too bad we have another batmobile.  Lego, we don't need one in every set.  I am also disappointed in the rhino build.  Looks pretty stupid.  I do like how a lot of the sets have different versions of the figs. 

76031 - Hulk Buster Smash

76032 - Ultron Quinjet Chase

Man, in general those are fantastic. That batboat/Deathstroke set is going to be money. Jokerland is not what I expected but certainly will pair well with the Funhouse.

Deathstroke could be the next Deadpool and although we didn't need yet another Batmobile, Jokerland still has plenty of variety in design and characters both.

76038 - Attack on Avengers Tower

Here is a New Elementary review on 76040 Brainiac Attack. I must say I love how many old Space colors are returning in new parts.

MARVEL sets are very underwhleming, IMO........Most (AVENGERS TOWER, both HYDRA ATTACK SETS, RHINO, IRON MAN v. ULTRON) have rehashed figures from the last line or poor variants (different Ultrons/Hydra Guy). Not a lot of meat on those bones in regards to piece count on the set pieces either.  Quinjet/Hulk Buster and Carnage are probably the three that will have the most success. Ant Man can go either way.  Neat concepts/designs....but if the movie falters; it won't do anything.  Best figure for the MARVEL collector is probably the Green Goblin from the Juniors set.  All in all though.....not a great line to invest in.

From a design standpoint, i agree (I've stopped investing in hero sets because of the many refreshes). I do think the Avenger's Tower is "ok" but does remind me of the Malibu Mansion set (on a larger scale).

You are 100% dead right about the Green Goblin minifig.

I like the designs on 'the Ultron collective' minifigures in Iron Man vs Ultron set best as I can see great uses in other scenarios followed by the Ultron in Avengers Tower second seeing how battle scarred he looks that reminds me of the comic book character more than the other LEGO variants. Avengers Tower has a ton of big pieces mostly of the translucent variety which is fantastic. It's one of those sets I could purchase a few in its near perfect selection of pieces to put towards that dream space base of mine. I think the vehicles in the other Marvel sets are fun while the scenery is a tad lacking but it usually always is for the price range LEGO has to work with so I can't fault them much for the standard we all know by now.

With all considered if we were to play the "Which side takes the year?" game then unfortunately I am not quite sure about a clear winner. Marvel's Ultron sets are a mixed bag of "new with a pinch of the same", then there is Carnage who wins by default just for being himself even if the vehicle is so-so, then the Ant Man set with some clever builds of macro sized LEGO bricks made out of LEGO, and finally the Sand Man set that although Rhino is the hardsuit film version thankfully Sand Man is true to the comic. DC's side does have yet more Batman sets but a couple like Jokerland or Gorilla Grodd are quite good either in the build or selection of characters and thank LEGO for finally giving us more superheroes & villains from the DC universe like Captain Cold or Sinestro. Now if I am honest, I only want the Gorilla Grodd Goes Bananas set for Captain Cold and then perhaps the Black Manta Deep Sea Strike for the parts.
