It's not illegal to buy a knockoff.

There was never any hope for Snyder-Cut sets.

Well those character designs are boring.

I mean, no? They don't? Collectors buy those lines. Theyre completely different demographics...and what kid is going to turn away a sweet robot for "tony stark's office" or whatever? Call me crazy, but I still trust the billion dollar toy company to have a pretty good idea about what kids like.

You guys are crazy if you think Marvel isn't approving every set decision. Lego isn't Funko, they're targeting totally different demographics.

Thank you. The movie sets are popular when the movie comes out. Spider-Man is forever. Anyway I'm not saying they wouldn't have MCU inspired designs. They will 100% have some. It just won't be an MCU only "fill the holes in my movie collection" set. That's a pipe-dream. It'll be like the Avengers sets this year, with tweaked designs of looks inspired by the films as well as variants from cartoons and classic appearances. The majority of spots will be taken up by new variants of existing fan-favorite characters with four or five oddball choices to please the hardcore collectors. Just like the DC CMF.

No, I'm talking a Miles Morales variant. Not to mention a Venom. There's always a Venom. You guys need to stop thinking like collectors and think like Lego. They don't care about filling the gaps in a collection, they want kids to see their favorite characters on the packaging.

It's not mixed. It would be Marvel characters with designs from various eras. Just like the closest possible comparison CMF, the DC Minifigs. You had 1st appearances, famous comic variants, cartoon versions, and lots of fan favorite characters. I think an "MCU only" CMF is completely unrealistic. For one thing it's going to cut out 90% of the Spider-Man figures they will want to include. You have to have a Spider-Verse fig in there somewhere.

There's no way they would do an all MCU wave. They would do a mix of designs from the comic with others inspired by the film's.

It has nothing to do with Lego "liking" the video game designs. The licensor tells Lego what they want. Marvel wants to promote the videogame. Same reason you always get Batman Batman Batman in DC. That's what DC wants. Lego is not the problem.

You all don't think Marvel's the one that asked them to make game tie-ins?

I would imagine it's a simple matter of branding. Those pieces are specific to the Lego Batman Movie characters. So you wouldn't use them in another set because that Joker isn't Lego Batman Movie Joker, he's just "a" Lego Joker. Think of it like how a blue spaceman figure isn't the same as Benny, even if they are "the same". Honestly, that's probably the entire reason they made those pieces. Each one of these versions of the characters would be special to the movie

What adults want is display pieces. These are display pieces

If kids didn't play with physical toys, Lego would be out of business. How is this even an argument.

Where's the Pikachu shocked face meme for people who are shocked the figure looks like the preview and not a regular minifig.
