Legocity2713 Posted June 16, 2019 Posted June 16, 2019 In a video that you guys may have seen, designer Marcos Bessa revealed that the Harry Potter advent calendar was put into production due to how well the sets have been selling. Do you think this means that Superheroes may be able to get one one day? I feel like DC would get one before Marvel does but I want a Marvel one so bad.

I don’t think marvel sets have the same type of outcry that Harry Potter sets have, the level of demand is very different, I think HP has a much broader audience to sell to. Never say never but I doubt we will ever see super heroes advent calendars. Hope I’m wrong.
Mattallica Posted June 16, 2019 Posted June 16, 2019 anyone have any info on the fathers day free captain marvel mini quadjet ?

The Harry Potter calendar was only made because the theme did very well and you can't really say that about the Marvel theme. Most sets are shelfwarmers because 90% of them are very inaccurate or just plainly overpriced. As long as lego keeps the quality seen in Marvel sets (in both figures and setdesign) as low as it is I can't see the theme doing any better in the future, and therefore not getting an AC

From what I know the marvel sets don't sell too well, hence the lack of printing being due to lower funding. I'm not sure, just what I heard. If they did start selling well though, maybe? 18 hours ago, Mattallica said: anyone have any info on the fathers day free captain marvel mini quadjet ? I don't know when/where it is, but you could buy it for like $4 if you bricklinked the parts, there aren't any exclusive parts or prints.

I was like 80% sure that we'd get one for TLBM, seeing as they had so many Batsuits and literally had a Christmas Batsuit in the movie and promotions. Plus, I wouldn't have seen it selling poorly. I doubt Marvel would get one though, because Marvel sets generally warm shelves and there isn't a lot of opportunity for other builds.

Marvel sets don't sell to well, yeah, but at least in my experience those TLBM sets were warming shelves all over the place. They made SO GODDANGED MANY too, and they were always on clearance at the target I go to. I think others had mentioned this before, but as we're talking about marvel lego not selling too well, there's a vicious cycle taking place. Marvel sets don't sell well, the theme gets a smaller budget, the designers have to make less printing and detail, the sets sell worse because they're not detailed and have less printing than other themes, the theme gets a smaller budget, and repeat. This could osteniably be fixed by lego injecting some more money into marvel's budget, but the relative flop of the lego movie 2 couldn't have helped.
SgtKilr Posted June 17, 2019 Posted June 17, 2019 The sdcc set would be so cool and has 2 exclusive figures, I hate these stupid exclusives

SgtKilr Posted June 17, 2019 Posted June 17, 2019 Are there any new parts on that Monica Rambeau? I cant tell
Balrogofmorgoth Posted June 17, 2019 Posted June 17, 2019 (edited) I hate these Comic Con exclusives. So much. Is this real? Edited June 17, 2019 by Balrogofmorgoth
Falconfan1414 Posted June 17, 2019 Posted June 17, 2019 2 exclusive characters and a cool build for goose...this one sucks for people not going to SDCC
strangely Posted June 17, 2019 Posted June 17, 2019 Yeah, these exclusives are annoying. They really should do a wider release of this one. The level of contempt I'm feeling right now...

I don’t get SDCC exclusives, I think it’s the most ridiculous system
cookiemonster Posted June 17, 2019 Posted June 17, 2019 The best is the price 45 USD? The Avengers Tower was about the same size and was given away for "free" as GWP:
hvader Posted June 17, 2019 Posted June 17, 2019 I'm so sad that this is an SDCC exclusive, as this means that it's impossible for me to get this set...
Hulk_Smash Posted June 17, 2019 Posted June 17, 2019 Motherflerkin! Why on Hala is that an exclusive! Normally these exclusive don’t bother me but his one does!

legosamsonite Posted June 17, 2019 Posted June 17, 2019 I wonder if enough people complained about this like the regional exclusive sets, if it would change anything

Robert8 Posted June 17, 2019 Posted June 17, 2019 To the surprise of no one, the air mask introduced in the sky city police is being reused for a fighter pilot. I said it in City thread, that mask was totally a jet fighter mask. There is no way a normal police department would use that That Maria Rambeau is a military minifigure through and through.... which is is very interesting...
Ultron Posted June 17, 2019 Posted June 17, 2019 What a slap in the face to us fans. Shameful practice, Lego. Shameful.
BrickBob Studpants Posted June 17, 2019 Posted June 17, 2019 I didn’t mind sets like the Ultron throne (or whatever it was called) being exclusives but this is on an entirely different level I can already smell the astronomical prices on ebay

Pchan1983 Posted June 17, 2019 Posted June 17, 2019 I’m really disappointed as there is no way people outside us can get hold of this sdcc exclusive without a huge price ...
