1000% this will not occur. With 2 exclusive minifigs, this simply can never drop much lower than the $80-$90 it commands right now, and will only continue to rise. 

I don’t think anyone expects the figs to stay exclusive, much like the captain marvel set.  However even then, that set is currently selling for $300 on eBay.

Maria is still exclusive though

The face print is. And searching auctions people have represented the figure well enough. The price is for people wanting a boxed (and probably sealed at that) copy of the set.  Same will happen with Taskmaster.

The Square Enix Avengers game lost the company $63 million. I don't know how the tie-in sets did but PLEASE Lego, stop making so many sets with variants that nobody cares about (I desperately hope the Iron Man from the Thanos set is not a reuse of the Square Enix version).

LEGO needs to bank more on the MCU and comics, if anything the Avengers game just proved that ''sidecontent'' doesn't tend to do well. They need to up their game anyway, only 1 new Iron Man suit in the Armory expansion was really lazy  My general advice for future Avengers sets consists of 2 words: MCU Legacy.

I agree with you 100%. What angers me about the Square Enix sets is not just that the character designs are terrible, but also because making these sets came at the cost of fewer MCU sets, especially when the Endgame sets are not even accurate. We could have gotten bald Thanos instead of minifig Thanos, we could have gotten Bro Thor instead of the same Square Enix Iron Man variant, and they could have gone back in history and made Iron Monger instead of random mechs. Nobody asked for Square Enix Lego, and everyone knew the game would be unpopular, yet Lego insists on making more tie-in sets of this game than Endgame. While having 0 info on Disney+ sets, we know we'll get even more inaccurate Marvel mechs... The fact that Lego continuously refuses to give us the most obvious things that we want baffles me. I hope by this point, Lego realizes that it can't just slap the Marvel logo on sets and expect them to do well. Knowing that we're even having doubts about the $300 D2C being a good and proper MCU set concerns me.

Exactly. The MCU is a massive franchise that currently consists of 23 movies, at least 7 of which have never even gotten a single set (the entirety of Phase 1 bar Avengers, Thor TDW and Cap WS).

Going just of what I can remember there are already a bunch of sets that could be made for those movies. I'll put the list in spoiler tags so it doesn't clutter up the thread.

These are fantastic ideas! I'd be happy if Lego makes even 1 or 2 of these sets

Mysterio's head is just plain light grey underneath the fish bowl

[TOTDForever]

I hope this means the marvel d2c isn't avengers tower with the "avengers game" 2020 minifigs...that would piss me off

Once I get one, I´m gonna try a glow in the dark head, hopefully the glow will at least be somewhat visivle...

I highly doubt that. The color of the bowl piece is the plastic itself, not just a 'skin'. And besides that glow in the dark heads aren't all that bright.

It won't. Lego is already deviating away from that game in the 2021 wave

Any pictures of either Mysterio with the grey opaque bowl piece from Sesame Street?

@CM4Sci posted these on his Instagram story recently, I personally like this color way more than the blue one we've seen on the comic figure.

If Mysterio ever returns in the MCU (which I think he will), Lego should rerelease this figure with accurate gold armor printing (kind of like what they did with mark 46 and mark 47, where the patterns are the same but colors are different) and the Sesame Street helmet

Looks perfect, exactly what I was hoping. The blue recolor is kind of ridiculous in comparison.

[BusterNut31]

I was looking at movie and the hot toys version on Mysterio and his bowl does have a pink/purple/blue hue to it. I think both the pearl white (Sesame Street) and the new bowl color is quite fitting.

This is what his helmet looked like in the movie. I'd say both the Sesame Street and the new blue color have a good case in terms of accuracy but my personal preference is the SS one.

No, I mean what color plastic is the Sesame Street Dome in

Oh, yeah that makes more sense  It's satin-white according to Bricklink
