Lego Super Heroes: Marvel

The first wave of Marvel sets in the Lego Super Heroes range are imminent, and thus, so are decent pictures. I don't have a clue what's going on in most of them, as they are almost all related to the forthcoming Avengers film, which has failed to peak my interest - So I'm hoping the next wave has more Spiderman and X-Men based sets; then I might have half an idea what they're meant to be. Until then, enjoy these:

The first Lego Lord of the Rings sets are on the way, and the first officially released pictures of the sets are starting to show up. Lots of the lovely new horses, loads of new minifigure accessories, piles of the new brickwork detailed bricks, and even some nifty use of the Games microfigs. Have a looksie:
