Just watched The Marvels (Captain Marvel 2), what a horrendous movie. Sad to see the Marvel theme getting impacted by terrible movies and shows, and also overpriced and poorly designed sets. Makes me question the future of the LEGO Marvel theme.

I'm tempted to buy the Ornithopter but it's way too big. Really wish they reduced the size significantly and used the parts for a stand instead.

Damn the X-Jet is insanely overpriced. What are the chances we'll get another X-Jet with similar quality/piece count as the Benatar and recent Quinjet?

Saw the minifig leak for Cyclops.... wow is it bad. No yellow spandex, no dual-molded legs, and should've given the batman belt accessory instead of print. The printed visor is probably the worst part, a dedicated hair/visor piece would've been ideal considering the cost of the X-Jet.

I'm still torn on whether I want to buy Avenger's Tower... it shouldn't be a hard decision, but right now I'm leaning NO Not sure I want to buy a set that looks significantly worse than the Bugle and also manages to be a downgrade compared to the Sanctum. The Sanctum also had a minifig quality and selection problem but the design of the house more than made up for those flaws. Avenger's Tower has a major minifig problem and the tower's design itself is quite boring.

Crazy how fast this topic moved on from Avenger's Tower as soon as it was officially leaked.

Chinese/Lunar New Year is lowkey one of Lego's best designed theme at reasonable prices. Please have whoever is designing Lunar New Year switch to Marvel Super Heroes.

I can't wait to get this, hopefully the preorder period overlaps with double VIP and some good promos.

Instead of a buildable Captain America's shield... we should've got a buildable Miss Minutes

There's no confusion, Wong is a good character but a terrible minifig with a borderline racist fu-manchu faceprint. Agent Woo aka Jim Halpert would've been a far better choice for Asian representation:

Disney Princess, Gabby's Dollhouse, and even City are better suited for 4 year old girls than Duplo.

Minifigs makes or breaks a set. Went from being moderately hyped for Avenger's Tower to completely disinterested after the minifig lineup reveal.

Looks like Vision's cape is going to be vinyl , also I'm not sure I'm liking the minifig head, I think the prior versions are better

Oof these posts didn't age well, this is what complacency and low standards gets you... 8x duplciate minifigs

Fortune favours the patient, even the Bugle went on sale.

I dunno it looks too basic and uninteresting. I'm definitely going to mod it so it's a mix of jumpers, studded and flat plates. It's prime real-estate for posing minifigs. Overall, I think it's a great set and maybe the high-res pics/video will change my mind at some point, but right now I feel like Avenger's Tower is last place after the Bugle and Sanctum in terms of design. I will still probably get it near release date since I've been trying to find an excuse to use up my VIP points.

Lol one step at a time, but I do agree clutch power should be improved especially on a number of specific pieces that almost have no clutch power at all. While I haven't experienced it myself, cracking light bluish grey parts is another big issue.

This part bothers me... it's so flat. A more gradual angle would've looked so much nicer.

Definitely not dual molded. With this many window pieces... I wonder how scratched up they will be

Ok I have to admit the tower itself looks really good. My initial thoughts is that the Quinjet is highly unnecessary, the broken windows where Hulk is holding is too small compared to GG bursting out of the Bugle, and not having an actual Ultron Prime. Also I'm really glad they didn't go beyond 32x32 baseplate.

Very cute, can also be good for 4/5+ as well

Rather than have a subpar Quinjet as a sidebuild, I'd rather they spend the parts budget on transparent technic beams (new piece) so you can integrate the recent Quinjet with Avenger's Tower. The Leviathan, I would want to see more before commenting but I wouldn't mind seeing built-in dmg, i.e. Ultron bursting out ala Green Goblin on one floor and Leviathan side swiping broken windows on another LOL

LEGO needs to spend the necessary investment to formulate and produce non-yellowing white pieces.

It'll be a huge disappointment if LEGO doesn't include a damaged print on the helmet/mask to go with the damaged chest.

I desperately need a Loki diorama set. Both S01 and S02 are filled with amazing moments and set pieces. Also, Loki deserves far more attention it's the only well written and well acted show. Every other D+ or Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Punisher show pales in comparison. It's also covering wasted opportunity, inefficiency and bad product decisions with the 4x Chitauri, chariot and "Quinjet". Don't think its a written rule but LEGO designers often design bloat into sets to justify the budgeted final price.
