I hope we get something based off of Hawkeye, Ms Marvel, She Hulk, Moon Knight I'm not sure how reliable @news_funko is on Twitter, but they're claiming LEGO is making a set for Moon Knight.
Anonknee Muss Posted December 6, 2021 Posted December 6, 2021 (edited) This eagle-eyed fan has noticed the Marvel Mech sets have been removed off of the LEGO Shopping site. The rest of the January wave plus all of the City and Star Wars sets are still listed. Edited December 6, 2021 by Anonknee Muss

I hope we get something based off of Hawkeye, Ms Marvel, She Hulk, Moon Knight What about sets for the previous Disney+ releases that did at least very well, if not phenomenal... like WandaVision, for example? My son and I have worked on a few MOCs but there are a LOT of possibilities for sets and minifigures there. And considering they already know that most Marvel fans loved the show, I would think from a business standpoint it would be a HUGE missed opportunity! I can guarantee you, no matter set size or cost, a WandaVision set would have me first in line on release day. I could say most of the same for Loki as well!
Mandalorianknight Posted December 6, 2021 Posted December 6, 2021 I haven't bought a marvel set since the iron man mech in january 2020, but if we get a set with Tobey and Andrew, instant buy. As-is, I'm looking at the new iron man $10 mech, and I'm trying to bricklink Shang-Chi and the upgraded suit.
lego_guyon02 Posted December 7, 2021 Posted December 7, 2021 With the Shang-Chi sequel now officially confirmed I'm really crossing my fingers for the film to return to Ta-Lo and LEGO to do a 4 set wave like they will be doing for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.

lego_guyon02 Posted December 7, 2021 Posted December 7, 2021 The 3 mechs have been delayed due to a stability issue.

Hoping we see Ta-Lo vs Kun-Lun with Iron Fist.
THELEGOBATMAN Posted December 7, 2021 Posted December 7, 2021 Bruh, what does that even mean. How could they mess up three separate mechs?

benderisgreat Posted December 7, 2021 Posted December 7, 2021 Any ideas what the “stability issue” with mech could be? This new batch looks to be using same build technique as 2020/2021 mechs and their stability is good. Really confused by this news.

I'd suppose if they used the same pieces and technique for the structure of each, that wasn't used in earlier sets, then all 3 would have issues. Not sure HOW they can mess that up though. I'd think production is already underway at this point for them.

KevinMD Posted December 7, 2021 Posted December 7, 2021 Wasn’t there a new ball joint piece spotted? Maybe that is the culprit.
BlueberryWaffles Posted December 7, 2021 Posted December 7, 2021 Honestly, the one mech I do own (Miles Morales) didn't seem very stable either. But it is weird that they got this far in production without this issue coming up.

lego_guyon02 Posted December 7, 2021 Posted December 7, 2021 It's probably an issue with the new technique used to attach the legs to the body, other than that all basic design choices seem to be the same as they were before.
kevkipo Posted December 7, 2021 Posted December 7, 2021 Terribly sorry if this has been answered already, but as of yet Doctor Strange 2 will only get one set?

Lion King Posted December 7, 2021 Posted December 7, 2021 Which new sets that willl include comic chracters (not MCU characters)?

That’s my understanding. Apparently, the ball joints at the hip loosens too much with play, eventually leading to the mech flopping over and falling. For AFOLs who are likely to pose it a few times that wouldn’t be a problem, but for kids playing with it, that’s an issue. What’s surprising is that LEGO didn’t realise sooner. Was it still testing after going into production? I hope the Wolverine one gets re-issued with the hip joint used in the previous Marvel mechs.
