Marvel Superheroes 2024 - Rumors & Discussion

[calebcold3]

I don't know if anyone has mentioned this in the forum yet so forgive me if this brought up again but I just noticed that in the pics of the kid playing with the upcoming Age of Ultron set, the Hawkeye in the pictures is the one from Avengers tower instead of the one from the actual AOU set 

Just thought this was a funny error. I wonder how that slipped past LEGO.

What is quality control anyway?

I legitimately thought that they were all different universes. Is Morbius in the venomverse? Or I guess more accurately, is Venom in the Morbiverse?

The events of Venom 2 were referred to by some police officers in Morbius. Haven’t seen the film. But my friends showed me the clip.

Gonna have to burst your bubble here, that is the AOU Hawkeye in that image

Below is the AT Hawkeye

Or who can forget the slide-splitting „I‘m Venom!“ joke that only appears in the trailers  Sony make the X-Men movies (post TLS) look cohesive, and that‘s saying something!

The torso‘s the same between the boxart and the lifestyle pictures, but the arms are not, which is weird. TLG actively discourages people from swapping arms and it’s not very likely they took these images with anything other than the finalised set, so where did this bare-armed version of AoU Hawkeye come from?  Some people think that this is the version actually included in the set and the black-armed one from the boxart and renders is the wrong one, but we will see

He should have black arms in the set, since the torso and legs designs are for Clint’s coat; he also wears a version of his original Avengers suit, albeit without the S.H.I.E.L.D. logo, at other points in the movie, but if LEGO intended to represent that here (inaccurately, given the scene depicted), they would probably have just reused the Avengers Tower version.

I'm gonna be honest with you, I may have seen Morbius and forgotten about it. I'm not sure. It might have just been various clips and memes. I legitimately don't remember. ...I think I got morbed.

This particular instance doesn't bother me, but lego's QC has plummeted. I've had more missing parts or misprints in the past year or two than in the rest of my life.

??? I know they don't exactly advertise it, but when have they discouraged it?

I'm not saying they don't, I'd just be interested to see where/how.

God the new Hawkeye figures look sooooo incredible. I absolutely adore the Avengers Tower and AoU variants we've gotten recently. 

 

So apparently Agent Venom is in the comic art present on the Brickheadz box for the new Mark 5 Brickhead. Perhaps it would be too much to assume this is a sign of an Agent Venom figure being teased, but honestly? I would love for that to be the case. Lego loves making Venom figures, so I think this would be a great way to spice things up. Plus, that would be our 3rd comic accurate Guardian of the Galaxy! We had Nova in 2013, the Rocket Raccoon mech was confirmed to be based off a specific comic cover, wish I remembered which exact one but I do remember someone referencing the exact image and confirming. Any who, this would give a little more life to comic accurate Guardians, which I would really appreciate. 

On that note, I would love for Lego to take the opportunity to produce a great comic accurate Mantis, while her head piece is still in production. Before they retire that mould, I would love to see her in a comic variant, otherwise the likelihood of them bringing back the mould in the future looks rather bleak. I know the Guardians 3 sets were very close to comic accurate, with Starlord and Rocket being "good enough", but Mantis and Drax are still noticeably MCU accurate, even with their respective suits. So that would be fun to get.

Weird picks, but I'd love to get Agent Venom, Silver Samurai, and comic accurate Hawkeye mechs next. I kind of just want at least one mech that's out of left field. Maybe a do over for War Machine because his last mech had such a disappointing figure. For me, that is.

Overall that'd be fun, but since the two last mechs we got were War Machine and Venom, I'd be OK with them not remaking them so soon.

Yeah. 
Deadpool Mech?

Cable Mech?

Captain Marvel Mech?

Dare Devil Mech?!!!

I wouldn’t mind if there was only 1 Marvel Mech next year. As then DC could get 2 mechs. (The mandatory Jonkler and maybe a non-Batman hero. (Green Lantern Please!!!))

[thebricksbear]

Has the "Cap 4: 2 pack" from Brick clicker been talked about already?

I'm super disappointed because it seems to indicate the other set with Sabra and Falcon was cancelled.

Unless it's the same number, I kind of doubt it. If lego did decide for whatever reason to remove certain figures from that set, they've shown they're fine just releasing it with other figs. As-is, I'm assuming this is just a previously unknown set- it's not difficult to imagine a brickheadz pack flying under the radar.

A falcon mech and a winter soldier mech could both be fun (wings and sort of a hermit crab style big arm), and I'd also love to see marvel mechs like the recent X-wing mech. (Star lord in a milano mech, black widow in a quinjet mech, cyclops in an X-jet, etc)

Which set do you mean? As far as I'm aware, there were only two Cap 4 sets we knew of before (the playset with Red Hulk and the buildable figure), and now this Brickheadz 2-pack is our third set

A War Machine Punisher Mech would go hard fr, with a War Machine suit Punisher

I wish Lego would get with the times and get rid of their family friendly branding, If Disney is willing to make more Rated-R Marvel Movies then Lego should start to make sets for more R-RATED franchises, I will say that it's a no brainer to stay away from sexual content but violence,blood and gore shouldn't be a problem, most video games and movies have it, a lot of kids like that stuff even though Lego doesn't think so, When I was like 9 I would always watch Horror and Action movies and I'm fine to this day (At least I think I am lol)

That 18+ branding on sets even though it has nothing to do with the IP could be a way out for them.

Also a potential way around worry about the punisher being associated with the R-rating.

I have to strongly disagree on that second point. It's not so much about what kids actually see- most kids probably watch rated-R films years before they're 17, for instance- but about what's socially acceptable to show to kids. At the end of the day, lego's a children's toy brand, and even when sets are marketed to adults, they're still from a children's toy brand.

There was no indication of this in the video. The set numbers aren't even the same.

It's unfortunate seeing other companies like Hasbro and Funko having figures for Deadpool but not Lego. We know Lego is open to adult audiences, but its always a D2C set. I don't get why Lego won't make a smaller retail set for the new film.

Agree. I don't really get how you'd get that the brickheadz pack means the system set was cancelled. Both the sets we already knew about were pretty clearly just pushed back because the movie was.

I'm not too sure about Hasbro, but Funko routinely does figures on R-rated properties. Lego avoids that pretty hard. While after my conversation with @ARC2149Nova awhile ago, I'm willing to agree there's a possibility a clear comic-based deadpool shows up in a D2C, I don't think there's any way imaginable anything deadpool would be in a smaller retail set. Doesn't matter what the branding is, the small and mid-sized retail sets are seen as for kids, and it'd be a PR nightmare. Especially if it's retail and not some sort of weird limited-release lego.com only thing.

Because the movie has an R-rating, which is where TLG draw the line. R-rating = no sets. Simple as that.

As @Mandalorianknight points out, a small retail set would be a PR disaster. “HOW DARE YOU POISON MY POOR BILLY’S MIND BY ADVERTISING A VIOLENT VULGAR DISGUSTING MOVIE TO HIM, I WANT TO SPEAK TO THE SPIRIT OF OLE KIRK CHRISTIANSEN RIGHT NOW” would be the consequence

I missed that it was a brickheads set, which is why nobody is talking about it 🤣

No Sabertooth? He was in the preliminary version of the set? Not sure why they'd drop him.

It might feel like it to you but it was less than 10 years ago that @JeanGreyForever gave us the descriptions from the survey.
