What are the chances that we're getting the Cap from WS and the beginning of Endgame insetad of the scaled one?

Probably just as high as our chances of getting the scale suit: none

I'm gonna say it's possible we could get a scale suit, but the stealth suit is doomed to be at most a future random SDCC figure.

The scale suit might come with the new cap head

Falcon1414 on Instagram said that a calendar will answer a big question we've all been asking

What do you guys think that means?

Personally I think it's something Bricktober related like a similarly formatted giveaway, because GWPs often show up on calendars

As it's a calendar it will likely relate to October/November/December at the latest

The Avengers subtheme is included in the 2019 1HY sales report among the 6 best-selling themes:

I thought the sets wouldn‘t sell because of the QR suits

I guess Marvel will get a bigger budget now considering is a top seller

That's really surprising, as the Endgame sets were constantly on shelves in my area. The stores only managed to sell them with a pretty big discount

Which is exactly why local sales are not a valid indicator for the overall success of a theme  I think I‘ve said it in other threads before, but we simply lack the data to support any theory concerning TLG‘s strategies. They keep the juicy data for themselves (which is totally legit IMO) and all we can do is speculate  

I don‘t mind people speculating as I‘m guilty of that as well, but we as fans shouldn‘t think we know better than TLG, given how little we actually do know

Except for when it comes to what the fans want, that's something we do know much better than TLG

Of course, but they can gauge the potential marketability of our wishes much better than we can

Earliest we should see the impact from it being a top selling theme would be August 2020

Yeah, probably a GWP.

Yes, don't expect the november wave to suddenly have scale suit caps because the sets sold well this year.

I wouldn't be surprised if there are more Endgame sets

I think it will just be regular falcon in a more comic accurate costume, judging from the poster.

I would. They rarely do a second wave unless there's a spoiler in the set.

The show appears to be some kind of "Falcon going on an adventure resulting in him proving to himself that he's worthy" type thing, so I expect he'll only put on the Cap costume at the very end. It makes sense for Lego to include the outfit that's looking to be exclusive to the show and worn for the longest time in it. Maybe they'll be lazy though, like with Captain Marvel, and include the final costume in the set instead of the one they wore for most of the series.

Yeah, they tend to do that. They sometimes go for the suit worn shortest in the movie/series. The Endgame Quantum suits were worn for 5 minutes, on and off. Like you said, Captain Marvel also had the ending suit, but we also did get the star force one at sdcc (does that count?). And the MK5, as awesome as it was, was only worn for one scene. The black and gold suit from the hall of armour set isn't even that recognisable. I don't know what it's called, or what it's function is. I assume it's from iron man 3, or the background in a different movie,because I don't remember it from anywhere else. They also went for armoured thanos, but I think that was because of concept art.

It's one of the AI-suits in Iron-Man 3 to actually get some proper screentime. It's codename is Bones, it completely comes apart with seperate repulsors and everything. You can see it in this clip around 0:55

What poster? the logo? I legitimately don't know where you're getting this.

Bones has some solid time in the film like you said, it makes sense for him to get a figure in a HOA.
