Okay, thanks for the insight! I ordered them in conjunction with one of the Far From Home sets. So while that’s already been delivered, the tracking for the B&P order hasn’t changed in a week. I’ll keep an eye out for an email, many thanks. -
I made an order early Monday morning of about 1,400 pieces (not licensed, just sharing the experience). I had kept it in my cart for about 5 days, while waiting for Double VIP to kick in, and I didn’t experience any performance or software issues. For reference, I was using Safari on an iPhone. What problems are you experiencing? Also, I have a question of my own. This is my second Bricks and Pieces Order, though this one is much bigger than my previous order. While the site lists the orders as having shipped 3 days ago, I know better. When can I realistically expect them to ship, as right now doesn’t seem to be an overly busy period for the program?

I know the history is controversial, but man, opening that link made me laugh!

Of course no one was asking for those variants, but they’re Deadpool all the same. And LEGO refuses to make him easily accessible to the open market now. In the case of Spider-Man, how many Spider-Men have we gotten in the Marvel theme? No fewer than 20 sets come with at least one variant of him. I’d rather get an out there variant of a character we have a plurality of than a niche variant of a character we’ve only ever seen once (whose appearances in LEGO form are now 66.7% from SDCC) While I understand the appreciation for the PS4 Spider-man, it’s more or less another variant in a line of Spider-man minifigures spanning 7 years.
-
I agree. Including Deadpool 2 years in a row was a slap in the face, given LEGO would never make him in a set after the movies. But this is a return to nice, niche variants of existing characters, like 2016 Cap.
-
^I agree, I think I can live without this one. I’m so glad LEGO didn’t make it something from any of this year’s MCU outings.

He might be referring to 75938, which is only 8+ I got one definitely remember this from the movie. There were some memorable shots of it in the final battle, namely with Ant-Man and Rocket Raccon, and that’s not even mentioning their prominence in the first Avengers back in 2012, for which we never received a LEGO Leviathan model
-
They ran the Darth Revan promo in May 2014, and again in September 2016
-
Yeah, I saw this ad in the Leicester Square Store yesterday. They had a stockpile of them behind the counter. interesting that they’re revamping the promo. Maybe it’s just in time for the rerelease of Endgame, as the last promo was for Endgame’s initial release? Maybe it’s just getting rid of overstock.
-
Excellent observation about that head piece! Thanks so much!
-
There’s no way most people INSIDE the US can get this without paying a huge price either. I really hope we see this released by similar means to the Darth Vader bust. The past few years of SDCC exclusive sets with reused minifgures have been more than tolerable. But this one, including 2 exclusive minifigures, is truly a slap in the face.
-
We don’t yet know how the sets are selling, but probably well given the popularity of the movie. That being said, Lego may not feel they have to make up anything. If we got a compound, I have a bad feeling it’d be microscale with a few minifgures thrown in, like other large complex models such as Hogwarts, or the Helicarrier. However, it would give us an opportunity to get nanofigures of the main six avengers, plus Rhodes, Vision, Wanda, and maybe others.
-
I spoke to the manager of my local LEGO store yesterday. She seemed hesitant to talk about the pack as she didn’t believe it had been officially revealed yet. Now that it’s up on the website, albeit labeled “coming soon,” maybe we can get a solid answer. Given some people already have them in-hand, I’d expect that they are. They’re store exclusives, right? Update: I just called again, and the only things releasing tomorrow (June 1st) are the Creator Expert Lunar Landing and the Lady Liberty Brickheadz. The next round of new products will release June 23rd.

I may be confusing it with the chitauri ship from The Avengers, but they’re pretty similar in design.
-
The HH-87 Starhopper, set 75024, somewhat resembles the Sanctuary II. Take off the two upward-pointed structures, add two wings at the bottom, and you’ve got a Mod that looks somewhat like a scaled down Sanctuary 2.
-
Thank goodness, it’s only $200!
-
That’s a good point. The variant definitely makes me less upset about them dropping the ball on the black and red suit (again).
-
Well, they’re not high quality pictures. I just don’t see 2,200 pieces personally. Looks about the size of the biggest Hidden Side set to me
-
The inside has leaked too. I know they didn’t have too much space to work with, but it looks like the lights will be a sticker. Just looking at it, I really hope this is around $150 to no more than $180. I saw $200 in the Simpsons House. I don’t see $200 here.
-
I would’ve loved a Steve minifigure. Maybe as a polybag, like they did with the Classic TV Series Batcave? He’s a fan-favorite for sure, and clearly they’re not using the earliest season as inspiration.
-
The pic is back on Instagram, top of the legoleaks tag! I’m really interested in seeing how this will be displayed. Not sure it’ll balance from the bottom without additional structuring you can’t see on the front of the box. That being said, it looks good. Not a clear or official picture, but the box art is very nice Note: There are 2 LEGO and Stranger Things logos in opposite corners of the box, so you can flip it either way you’d like! So cool!
-
They’ve been taken down from Instagram. I don’t see them anywhere in the legoleaks tag. If anyone happens to have pictures, I’d appreciate it if you could please PM me!
-
Even if Target doesn't, they’ll match the price whenever Amazon has it at 20% off. I’ll be honest, that set is not for me. Even at 20% off, or $54 US, I’d still be buying it for 2 minifgures and a questionably good build. To each their own, but I’ve looked over it a lot and it’ll be the first set I don’t buy since the Hydra Fortress Smash in 2015.
-
After building 76126, I have to say that I love both the minifigures and the Quinjet. It’s a nice selection of figures, even if 4 do share a suit. The Quinjet is a surprisingly engaging build, with nice detailing and texturing, and a great color combo of earth blue and trans-orange.
-
Picked up the Quinjet and the Avengers Tower promo this morning, first one through my local LEGO store! They threw in the chick promo they had leftover, as well as the Captain Marvel art. I love the Avengers Tower. Some fans have pined for a Marvel/Star Wars/licensed architecture subtheme before, and I think this is an excellent start. The tower is about 2/3 the height of the 2015 “minifgure-scale” model, and detaches easily from the black base. I at first thought that the Avengers logo dish was exclusive, but it’s the same one included in 76123. I actually replaced Iron Man’s stand here with one of these dishes from the bike, as it looks smoother and doesn’t require a minifigure to be displayed with the model. That being said, Mk. 8 is a nice minifgures to get, and is detailed well, with a few prints of uncovered mesh and metal around the front and back torso representing extending and/or exposed armor. While it isn’t the choice I would’ve gone with, I think it looks good. The promo is fantastic over all, and actually has more pieces than the aforementioned 76123. I like it much better for a $20 value, and if you have a means of reaching the threshold, you won’t be disappointed by 40334!
