Especially when that 501st pack gets to toilet-paper levels of scarcity and we can only find it for $500 on ebay . In all seriousness I agree about the smaller sets being great this year, there's some from themes I never buy from (like DC's wonder woman set), that I'm planning on getting. The marvel sets seem great this year too, like the black widow set and hulkbuster (though at $40 it's not exactly a small set), but the real good ones are looking to be the helicarrier and avengers tower, which unfortunately are both pretty expensive. 2 hours ago, HarryVader said: Didn’t get Black Widow set at its release. I always like getting my movie sets after the movie to see if it’s a must buy or not. Glad to see that the Black Widow set will still be in shelves when movie releases. Like the idea of 2020 not being too crazy so I can save up money for Eternals. At least for marvel. Honestly even though it's seemingly going to be a great wave I might just end up buying the hulkbuster and bricklinking war machine.

What I don't like about this wave is that there are no small sets. 120€ Helicarrier and 90€ Avengers Tower (I would love to get those but there's no way I can spend that much money on a set, I just bought a 200€ on a D2C which heavily loaded my budget for this year), 4+ Avengers Tower (no way I am getting a 4+ set, the build won't be definitely something that I like) and a 40€ Hulbuster (this one is not expensive, but the minfigures aren't really interesting... Iron Man and 2 agents).

I do know what you mean about affording it though, I've just bought the Taj Mahal and that's set me back quite a bit.

Especially with Covid-19 heavily affecting my LEGO budget I'm gonna have to make some sacrifices so I probably won't pick up the new Marvel sets untill sometime next year. Though for the Avengers waves so far I'm really looking forward to the Helicarrier and (normal) Avengers Tower, I never buy 4+/Juniors because I really dislike it and the Hulkbuster is just yet another Hulkbuster. Usually the only thing I buy from Marvel are the MCU sets so I save a lot of money on the comic sets but as a fair amount of these gamesets go alongside the MCU sets fairly well I'll probably pick them up.

I mean I love the fact that we are getting some expensive Marvel sets, even tho they are not affordable for me. What I mean is that we are getting 5 superheroes in a 120€ set, 4 in a 60€ 4+ set and 2-4 in a 90€ set, but in a 40€ we're just getting one. If Hulbuster, and affordable set, would include at least 2 superheroes (doesn't matter which ones), I would buy it immediately. But it only includes another Iron Man/Rescue, therefore I am not interested.

But there's a possibility that the Hulkbuster comes with both Iron man and Rescue, plus two agents. So, 2 heroes. Also (very wishful thinking), I hope the Hulkbuster is actually in a different colour scheme, like black and gold, for differentiation of the previous ones. I just saw a comparison of the Loki fig with his design in the first Thor movie. I guess we can say this is a MCU based fig, after all.

If Hulkbuster's design is fresh (a new colour scheme would definitely help) and includes 2 superheroes, I will definitely buy it. Most 40€ Marvel sets have 4 minfigures, so I hope that's the case.
Legoman123 Posted April 4, 2020 Posted April 4, 2020 Any word on the interior of the Helicarrier and Avengers Tower?

Hopefully the Helicarrier will be able to open like the £120+ Star Wars sets.
lego_guyon02 Posted April 4, 2020 Posted April 4, 2020 76152 - Wrath of Loki - $60 - 223 pieces 76153 - Helicarrier - $120 - 1244 pieces
doclord Posted April 4, 2020 Posted April 4, 2020 I have a nasty feeling that the Helicarrier will be VERY similar to the Flying Fox from Justice League and have a huge hole in it for a Mini-Quinjet.

I guess we can say this is a MCU based fig, after all. This reminds me of the first Thanos, where some believe that it’s a comic version others believe that it’s based on GOTG. Heck, Lego themselves even used that first Thanos as a placeholder for GOTG movie Thanos in games and shorts. I guess that’s the magic of LEGO minifigs as their inspirations are often ambiguous... 28 minutes ago, doclord said: I have a nasty feeling that the Helicarrier will be VERY similar to the Flying Fox from Justice League and have a huge hole in it for a Mini-Quinjet. Honestly, wouldn’t be the worst idea out there. Depends on how they execute it. I would heavily prefer actual interior though
THELEGOBATMAN Posted April 4, 2020 Posted April 4, 2020 With that piece count I hope they execute it well, it's got some big potential.

hvader Posted April 4, 2020 Posted April 4, 2020 I’m honestly so excited for this helicarrier and the brickbuilt MODOK. I wanna see the set pictures soon

Toy Fair descriptions phrased it like "Iron Man (Rescue) and 2 agents", so it could mean both things. I guess we just have to wait, no leaker can confirm it yet I think.
THELEGOBATMAN Posted April 6, 2020 Posted April 6, 2020 Do you think June and August Avengers sete are gonna have box arts like WW84 set? Or do you think it's a one-time thing?

SuperGrover Posted April 6, 2020 Posted April 6, 2020 Speaking of the WW84 set, I noticed it’s really detailed for a one set series. I really hope LEGO keeps up the details for the Summer Avengers sets!
