HRC Posted December 7, 2020 Posted December 7, 2020 As much as some people might want comic variants, Lego wouldn't do it anytime soon. I think Lego wants to capitalize on the big-budget entertainment events that have the least licensing fees. I think choosing to make Square Enix sets was thinking "this is a video game, people like those, right?", and making a bunch of sets based on it and excepting to see their sales rise", instead of "do Marvel fans actually want this?". I agree with the general consensus that Lego isn't taking the full potential of the Marvel theme.

The D+ sets are delayed to prevent spoilers in merch, and even after the child was revealed, it took Lego 9 months to release the fig. I'm sure we will get a set or more eventually, but like Falconfan said, it will take a lot of patience. wait are we confirmed to get D+ sets? regardless of when they come out?

HRC Posted December 7, 2020 Posted December 7, 2020 AaarrRGHhgH. They better eventually be a D+ lego set. or I'm not buying marvel anymore
hvader Posted December 7, 2020 Posted December 7, 2020 I think the coolest characters from that Eternals wave are Sersi, Ikaris, Kingo, and Druig. I can't wait to get minifigs of these 4. This is the wave where Lego needs to go all out with arm and leg printing. Also, I wouldn't worry about Thena and Whitman just yet. Lego usually makes more movie characters than Marvel Legends in the initial wave (ex: Lego made Quicksilver and Strucker). Also, I think Marvel wants to keep Whitman's appearance a secret, thus the lack of merchandise (remember the Celestials are also not in this wave but I'm pretty sure we'll get them in sets)

It's a huge cast so I'd already be happy with legprints and some new faces
hvader Posted December 7, 2020 Posted December 7, 2020 How big of a role (if at all) do we think Thanos will play in the film? It'd be interesting to get young Thanos as a figure

It'd be interesting to get young Thanos as a figure I highly doubt it'll be more than a cameo. Definetely nothing big enough to warrant a figure
Noobmaster69 Posted December 8, 2020 Posted December 8, 2020 I think that if Thanos is in the movie he could be a big role because he an eternal and thanos is the most popular marvel villain right now and they had planned to have young thanos in infinity war sooooo I don’t know
Felkin Posted December 8, 2020 Posted December 8, 2020 Dunno how much screen time all these various Spider-Verse characters are gonna have, but hopefully we'll get some updated minifigs out of it. An updated Doc Ock would be cool!

There is no way lego wouldn't capitalize on this movie especially since the first 2 movies in the MCU got sets.
hvader Posted December 8, 2020 Posted December 8, 2020 Oh boy we better get a remake of Molina's Doc Ock

The only 2 that are up in the air at this point are Tobey Maguire and Emma Stone (she is pregnant irl)
Falconfan1414 Posted December 8, 2020 Posted December 8, 2020 I wouldn’t worry about Tobey Maguire rn he will sign on shortly
hvader Posted December 8, 2020 Posted December 8, 2020 This movie just excites me so much. I hope we get some amazing sets
cosmic Posted December 9, 2020 Posted December 9, 2020 Do we know the total number of sets we’ll be getting for the entire year or are surprises possible? Is it just the Shang Chi sets now? Whats next years lineup looking like altogether?
1980-Something-Space-Guy Posted December 9, 2020 Posted December 9, 2020 These casting news are insane! I'd really like a new take on Doc Ock. Heck, I'd also love an updated version of the Tobey Maguire spidey suit!

The info is out there but it's just setnumbers and prices with no way to see what is Marvel and what is DC.

SuperGrover Posted December 9, 2020 Posted December 9, 2020 This could also mean we get a new electro, and depending on what he looks like in the movie, could be more comic accurate, but all we know so far is that he won’t be blue.
THELEGOBATMAN Posted December 9, 2020 Posted December 9, 2020 So you're saying that right now all confirmed / rumoured superheroes and supervillains in this movie are: Spider-Man (Tom Holland), Spider-Man (Andrew Garfield), Spider-Man (Tobey Maguire), Daredevil, Doctor Strange, Doc Ock (Alfred Molina) and Electro (Jamie Foxx)?! Hell, this wave's builds could consist entirely of mechs and I'd still buy every single set if minifigs are done right. This movie has potential to make the best Lego Marvel wave yet.
nintendude64 Posted December 9, 2020 Posted December 9, 2020 You're telling me we could finally get a minifig of Daredevil, and it would be Charlie Cox too? ... I think I need a moment.
