ALL POSTSIs it too late to expect Thor TDW sets? If so, reasons for no sets? 
<p>There is only a month before Thor The Dark World is released in theatres. Typically, they release Lego sets before the movies, right? Likewise, pictures of sets tend to be leaked beforehand, too. We have seen none. Is there any chance we will see Thor TDW sets, or is it beyond hope?
</p><p>Also, if they are not making Thor sets, why not? The most obvious answer is that they have already released their limit of Marvel Superheroes sets this year - Ultimate Spiderman and Iron Man 3.
</p><p>Another idea I have is that Lego is unable to make Thor TDW sets, because of the Dark Elves. Perhaps TLC has some sort of agreement with the New Line Cinema/Middle-earth Enterprises that they cannot create any elf characters while they are still producing LOTR/Hobbit sets. They have made Collectible Minifigure elves, but maybe there are restrictions about elves from other Licensed Themes. What do you thing of Malekith, Algrim, and the other Dark Elves ears being the reason for no Thor TDW sets? I was really hoping for Thor sets, because I thought they'd go well with my LOTR/Hobbit sets.

Hogun is played by Tadanobu Asano, who is Japanese. Or did you just mean that Hogun, as a character, is not human, and thus he can't technically be Asian?

<p>There's absolutely no reason that licensing with New Line would prevent them from making LEGO elves. Dark Elves are a staple of Norse mythology, not just Tolkien's world. They aren't something you can put an all-encompassing trademark on.

<p>I hope to make at least three lego sets Thor.
What do you think of this idea:
</p><p>Bifrost Watchman
Heimdall with two ice giants (type head as Azog), Gateway, Bifrost piece :)
</p><p>throne room attacked
Odin (with Hemet), Asgard soldier, Malekith, Dark Elf soldiers, DE ship, throne
</p><p>?????
Thor (with helmet is very necessary), Loki, Jane Foster, Malekith, Kurse, DE soldier

I believe the Superhero agreement is only one movie per year per company. Marvel chose Iron Man 3 because it was probably the more profitable option. This is also why we get GOTG sets nut not CA:TWS sets this year.

<p>Maybe. So in 2015 we can get Avengers 2 or Ant-Man and then in 2016 we are getting Batman vs. Superman.
