I read the original Guardians of the Galaxy. I have no idea who the heck these guys are.

I don't follow this stuff, so I don't really know who GOTG are, but I do want Rocket Raccoon.

That figure I would bet will sell for $20 awfully quick. That set is probably a winner having Groot and Rocket in it, even though everything else in it is so bleh.

First ship in video has the CHIMA effect. You have no idea what it is and it is blue and yellow. IMO

Some more high resolution images for the upcoming sets.

X-Men Vs. The Sentinel

Full disclosure on this post - I have no knowledge or understanding of Guardians of the Galaxy, so I can't tell if any of the figs are good representations of the characters.

That said, I think the figs look phenomenal. The detail on each is impressive, and the raccoon fig is really sweet. The X-men set looks really good too, although I understand some don't like the brick built Sentinel fig. I suppose I can see the disappointment as it's kinda blocky, but I have a feeling it will look better in person. I think fans will still want it.

All in all, I think these sets are nice additions to the theme.

Is the grey guy with a hood holding a fish gun?

I agree Quacs - they look excellent. I don't know how popular this theme will be but it certainly looks good.

The X-men set looks really good too, although I understand some don't like the brick built Sentinel fig. I suppose I can see the disappointment as it's kinda blocky, but I have a feeling it will look better in person. I think fans will still want it.

Part of my qualms with the build for the Sentinel is it's kind of small. I mean, the Sentinels are friggin' HUGE!!!!

Then again considering the classic attire for the characters in the set perhaps this is also meant to be more based on 'classic' X-Men.

Those Guardians of the Galaxy figs do look excellent.

 

Any more pics available of the figs in the X-men set?

I saw the X-Men 75022 in the wild today at a Fred Meyer, so release date must be soon. Makes sense with the movie of course.

x-Men set.... TAKE MY MONEY!!!!

Yeah, same, but will wait for a sale. $49.99 is steep for a set of that piece count with no "extras" (maxifig, animals, etc.) in my book. GIVE ME MY COLOSSUS MAXIFIG!!

Oh agreed. Price pr brick is too high, but TRU's frequent coupons will get me at least 15% off. I can wait that long. Or K-Mart points.

Check out this Brick Fan article, dude. You're famous! ....Sort of.

You should have took one set or two and put it on a ebay auction...

These look quite good! Honestly I`ve never been a big comic book fan, so I know very little about GotG or X-Men, other than to say that they are popular. Which isn`t much....   but still. As sets go, this years seems to be shaping up pretty well. We`ll have to see how well the films do in theatres and if that helps demand at all (specifically GotG, as X-Men has obviously held a large fan base for a long time). Days of the Future Past is up pretty quick, so we`ll find out soon enough in that area! 

Found 76022 at the Fred Meyer in Olympia WA

Lego really looks like the phoned it in on the Sentinel. The rest of the set should be cool though.

Hey buddies,

I have never parted out a set before, but for set 76022 (X-Men/Blackbird), in my opinion this is the best superhero set ever to part out. ALL minifigs are exclusive so far, and the buildable maxi figure is a sentinel which you can have an infinite amount. Do you agree? Thoughts please. (Glad they finally came out with Storm. I hope she has a back printed head that shows distress. In comic book lore her ONLY real fear is claustrophobia and she sits in a very limited space in the Lego Blackbird! Lol!)

I hope my last few Wolverine Chopper's sell soon.

The 6865 Cap set has soften a fair bit in price here with the release of the new one and the waves of fake figs on the market. 
I expect the Wolvie chopper to ease up in price a bit, though having Deadpool as an exclusive (and fingers crossed, yet to see a fake) and Lego making alternate prints will help retain some of the value.

I just think that the market will be flooded a bit when they first come out and only become a really good part out set after EOL. Just my thoughts.

I am really anxious to see how 6866 is affected by 76022. I don't think it will have a huge effect but we shall see!

There are a bunch of fake deadpool figs so the fact he is selling well still is great news
