These were two merely recognisable variants, which were perfect for an SDCC exclusive. We got a perfect Deadpool in a set. This time, it's a Spider-Man variant, but based on an amazing game design. People actually wanted this minifigure, but no one before two previous exclusives said "I want Cowboy Deadpool as a minfig" or "I wish we could get Duck Deadpool someday". 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.

If that rumor is true, that would point towards War Machine mk7. That isn't a rumor. It was on a production run. And that's a good thing you pointed out. Only gripe is it's not accurate because face plate should have been printed. 2 hours ago, benderisgreat said: After watching MGF new vid on new set I realized that Black Widow face now has eyebrows in orange to match her hair. Or is it just Photoshop? That's correct.

I mean... Deadpool already is just a variant of a character we already have.

tafkatb Posted June 29, 2019 Posted June 29, 2019 I take it the was not a strong enough indicator of the jesting nature of my comment.
Mountain Drew Posted June 29, 2019 Posted June 29, 2019 I'm not really surprised about the SDCC Spiderman fig this year, I just hope Lego makes it up to the people who don't get their hands on this fig with the November Endgame sets. At least it wasn't a character absolutely EVERYONE wanted like Rescue or Ronin, but then again they haven't revealed the DC exclusive fig yet so finger crossed that its just another Arrowverse fig
calebcold3 Posted June 30, 2019 Posted June 30, 2019 So I work at a Target and from what I see, most of the Marvel based sets seem to sell well (espically the Winter 2019 Spider Man theme and War Machine Buster). Is it possible that we get a CMF sometime in the near future?

In my city Hall of Armor has been impossible to find since may and only now it’s been restocked. The rest of Endgame sets are all over the store shelves . So I guess it’s really depends if a set is liked by people or not.

Marvel really doesn't sell too well in most places, at my target they don't get too much bc they don't want to overstock. the only set that I can never find is the HOA, which I still need my third of to house the rest of the armors. 9 hours ago, Balrogofmorgoth said: Welp, just a heads up, the real fcl has FFH spoilers in his story so stay away from that.

It’s all about the history behind the creation of those characters, not so much what their powers are.

That's honestly news to me. I checked the top 100 in Building Toys list on Amazon a while back and iirc, 3 of the endgame sets and 1 Far from home set are in the top 50. I really think The Hulk Helicopter Set could be a seller due to Rescue but who knows.

I'm sure I'll find uses for the rest of the set.

Lego released their top 5 selling themes, and marvel is not one of them. 3 hours ago, Balrogofmorgoth said: It’s all about the history behind the creation of those characters, not so much what their powers are. ah. Marvel and DC did have that whole period where they ripped eachother's characters off.
Hoth Rebel Posted July 1, 2019 Posted July 1, 2019 Nothing 2019 related, but does anybody have good leg piece ideas for the Shield Agent minifigure from the Carnage set a few years back?
