It looks awful. I'm pretty sure it does not at all capture the actual feel of whatever is in the film even if you consider that such a stealth ship design would always look kind of bland and weird.

It looks quite bad, especially that random big panel

So is it just Namor versus a ship and two drones? Seems like a one-sided war to me. Interesting epaulet on the figure standing at the stern of the ship.(Okoye?)

@Mr_Hankey: Considering this isn't a leak, but comes from Target's official website, I wouldn't worry.

Those mini dragon-flyers are pretty cool, more so from the photos of the box artwork I've seen leaked elsewhere. Also in those issues the boat had more black on the outer faces which made it look better

EDIT - just checked those images again and I'm wrong it's not all black, but they grey does appear to be more dark bley.

You jest, but I'd buy a purple/silver Dyson handheld if they made one (to go with my trainer). It will happen!

Obligatory fire extinguisher on the deck stands out lol

This kind of software has existed for a long time. They give the image a kind of painting style which is pleasant to the eye but does not actually have more resolution. The oldest ones were based on Lanczos (and other mathematical) kernels but now are called artificial intelligence. Like everything else today :-)

Thought it was a picture of a bootleg version.

Does anyone have a reference image to how this is supposed to look in-universe? It kinda looks like a big tanker boat, but then the scale would be really exaggerated even for lego standards.

Target photoshopping the box art onto their monochrome blue background also doesnt make this look any good

This look awful and overpriced. I'll take all the black Zane headpieces though, I need the for da cloams

Try the Dyson V8!

@huw Gigapixel AI?

This set is so... boring.

Sigh...

We definitely need to see the actual set, because as of right now this very uninteresting, and at that rumored price, one of the easiest Lego passes ever.

"Not overly impressed with the set though. As other have pointed out it looks like some kind of cross between an iron and a handheld vac."

It's not iron, it's vibranium."

Couldn’t call it a vibranium, though, could you? That just sounds… wrong :~s

The upscaling is very impressive the me, though the true test will be a comparison with the large scale official image when it comes out. Definitely worth doing, Huw.

Surely the prow of the ship will open up for some playset action... right? If not, I agree with the consensus, it's not a looker.

This thing has been on shelves for so long and they still haven't announced it? Very strange. By the way it retails $89.99 USD.

That price, though. Looks like a lot of money for not very much.

The last black panther movie I saw was Disney's 1967 Jungle Book.
;-)

And clearly this isn't an iron or a handheld vac.
It's an axe where the wooden handle has fallen off.

And as for those flying spanners, give them cute eyes and you have the return of Mixels. 41550 anyone?

Oh it’s upscaled? Phew, it look like it was generated by AI for a sec! ??

The fire extinguisher trend lives on! Almost every Marvel wave since 2012 has had one, and it continues on 10 years later.

Its upscaled using an AI

Very weird and overpriced set. Looks unfinished. Before reading the text, I thought it would be an article about MOCs or prototype Lego sets.

600 pieces for $90 USD? I see some larger wall type elements and plates, but nothing about that set indicates why it should cost so much. Maybe there are some elements hidden inside (but I can see that it doesn't open at the front, so not sure how they would be accessed). Maybe they should have gone with an actual boat piece to make it float?
All of those figures appear in much better sets. This one is going to be sitting on Target's shelves for a LONG time.

I’ve never built a LEGO turd before, should be fun.

They don't. Namor's the only one not exclusive to this set.

It's so plain. Which would be fine I guess if it weren't for that price. Maybe if you're really looking for more orc swords?

I can probably verify the price for you, as my local target has had these on shelf for at least a week, now.
And yes, it is just as boring looking in person.

Brick Fanatics mentioned it's on the Australian LEGO site: https://www.lego.com/en-au/product/black-panther-war-on-the-water-76214

Looks like the estimate of $80 USD is likely converting from AUD.

Photo AI, their new product. "

Enhance!

That has to be about the worst way to spend $80/$90 on Lego....

As for the upscale, it can't do wonders but the result is nevertheless pretty decent. Better than just a tiny picture.

Strong 3829 vibes.

$89.99 USD, what a time to be alive.

I had a dream where I was building that one, there was a class specifically just for building LEGO and I was taking it.
Look at the printing of this one, though, is this LEGO Black Panther or Lepin Black Ponther?

I'm looking at the actual product photos on the Australian LEGO Shop and uh... price aside, this has got to be one of the worst vehicle models that they've produced in recent years. It's fine that it's a simple shape but to also have no exterior detail, no interior other than a small empty cube representing a jail cell, and no play features besides stud shooters slapped to the upper deck - and for the scale to be so blatantly wrong that the side builds are polybag-scaled versions of a full-sized set from last year - is just ridiculous.

Im a sucker for water based sets. If it's boat related then that's my thing. That being said I must admit I really like this. Even though it's bland and boringly gray. But still a boat. I might think about getting this without minifigs.

I'm sure this thing looks incredible in the film, but this might be tied with 75334 for blandest set of the year. The first few images I saw, I skipped over because I thought it was a MOC or bootleg.

This is the ugliest set I have ever seen.

Unfortunately the trans-yellow parts are 1x1s. If there would be 1x4s in trans-yellow that would be an excellent redeeming feature - as it stand, I suppose all the comments above are fitting.

Ooh, look, a Zumwalt found a nice entry-level fishing trawler to shack up with, and this is their love-child. Also, M'Baku. M'Bout time. He was hands down the best thing about the first film.

This is worse than Darth vs Obi wan, that set could at least be used as a cool base for ships or the new galaxy explorer.

(edit i swear i didn't see the pics before this, but im impressed there's even less inside of it that i thought. )

90$ for this has to be the worst Price Value since the last Grievious Starfighter

The SW expanded universe nerd in me sees a potential Moldy Crow model in this...
