Rumoured LEGO Marvel Battle Pack may now not be what we expected
Get ready to lower your expectations for an upcoming LEGO Marvel Battle Pack, if the latest rumours regarding the set are to be believed.
Recent rumours have suggested that multiple LEGO Marvel models may be incoming this summer, with a number of those builds going back to the well and focusing on the likes of Avengers: Age of Ultron and the Guardians of the Galaxy movies.
Now come a fresh batch of details regarding one of the potential superhero sets and they don’t sound that great. 76287 Iron Legion vs. Ultron Sentries Battle Pack was first hinted at earlier this month and was said to include both Iron Legion and Ultron Sentry minifigures, arriving on August 1, 2024 priced at $14.99.
However, Instagram user mtdbricks is reporting that the LEGO Marvel build might not be what we were expecting after all, if the latest information is to be believed. The set is now said to be called 76288 Iron Legion Battlepack and may see its price increased by $10 up to $25 for just 135 pieces.
That puts the piece count of the set in line with the likes of 75345 501st Clone Troopers Battle Pack, but the higher cost would make it as expensive as 75372 Clone Trooper & Battle Droid Battle Pack. The model’s product number was also originally allocated to the rumoured 76288 Surtur Battle, although nothing is set in stone at this stage.
The biggest change to the 76288 Iron Legion Battlepack may be that the set now reportedly won’t include any Ultron Sentries at all and will in fact come with minifigures of Iron Man, a Hydra Agent and two Iron Legion characters. If that’s the case, then the lack of those minifigures and the proposed price hike could well see the build sitting on store shelves for quite some time.
There’s no way of knowing at this stage if these latest details will prove to be accurate and the LEGO Group has yet to confirm the existence of any LEGO Marvel models for summer 2024 so far. For now, treat all of the above with plenty of speculation until we have more updates.
