Falconfan1414 Posted May 27, 2020 Posted May 27, 2020 It wouldn’t surprise me if LEGO didn’t delay the eternals sets and kept them as a October release
THELEGOBATMAN Posted May 27, 2020 Posted May 27, 2020 (edited) I think October and February is not that big of a gap for them to delay those sets, it's just 4 months. For example Ragnarok sets released in June, but the movie didn't come out until November (5 months), and also the Aquaman set came out in August, while the movie came out in December (4 months). I think this date has a really high chance of staying there. 7 hours ago, upliftingbricks said: It has to 5th November 2021 pushing Dr Strange back to March 2022. The next few years will likely have few comic sets or more sets in general *snap* Don't forget that there's still an untitled MCU movie slated for October 7th 2022 Edited May 27, 2020 by THELEGOBATMAN

I think Lego has a schedule it needs to adhere to. Look at what happened with the Spider-Man Homecoming sets and the logo on that. When Lego got that logo the studios changed it one month later and Lego sticked to their deadline and didn't change it. I guess I'm just wishful thinking here. This year only two sets (black widow and the tower) interest me so I would rather have the Eternal sets sooner than later. SIGH... Edited May 27, 2020 by BusterNut31 grammar

Even though he'll probably appear in the most expensive sets I really hope Kit Harrington's Black Knight and Richard Madden's Ikaris come in the cheaper sets

They can't throw something else together in that amount of time and delaying the whole wave would be a huge loss in revenue, not to mention throw off their release schedule for next year. The only way I see them delaying the Eternals sets is if Disney forces them to(assuming they have the power to do that).
lego_guyon02 Posted May 27, 2020 Posted May 27, 2020 Stonewars released an article regarding product availability etc of LEGO sets and LEGO confirmed the pandemic will not affect any of their planned releasedates. Wether or not a movie delay might change things up is unknown but this would suggest an october release for Eternals

The only way I see them delaying the Eternals sets is if Disney forces them to(assuming they have the power to do that). How do we know they don't have anything to replace them with? Even before the pandemic, release dates for movies would get shuffled around on a semi-regular basis, so it seems pretty likely that LEGO would be accustomed enough to this to have contingency plans in place. For all we know, they might have dozens of comic-based set designs tucked away just in case they need to fill a gap. (Obviously production and shipping times need to be factored in, but if the actual design process is complete and just waiting for the green light, four or five months might be plenty of time to get products into stores.) Personally, I think the likeliest scenario would be akin to what we've already seen with the Minions sets - maybe one or two Eternals sets could be released as originally scheduled, with the rest held back until a little closer to the film's actual release. And yes, Disney absolutely would have a say in this - maybe not force a delay, but certainly strongly suggest one, possibly involving hired goons.
Harkonen Posted May 27, 2020 Posted May 27, 2020 Do we have any prices for the Eternals sets? I know we have like 4 sets. I would love if they would make a Celestial though I doubt it because of its size and probably not so big role in the film.

The prices are 10, 20, 60 and 100 euros, so a Celestial (mech or Giant-man style) is a possibility in the biggest sets.

That would be nice but the city of the space Gods might be a set too. I think an incan temple would be something fresh.

Celestials are pretty much a guarantee, I think they'll most likely be mechs. If they can make a big mech like the Monkey Kid Golden Mech, I'm totally in. Edited May 27, 2020 by HarryVader

Leggomyleggo Posted May 27, 2020 Posted May 27, 2020 By now they could have made a crimson dynamo mech instead of these hulkbusters. We need some variety. Does anyone think we will receive more game-based sets in the winter or next year?

The Minions delay wasn't really LEGO's fault. They couldn't release the entire wave for a movie that's been delayed for a year, a couple of months for Eternals/Black Widow/WW84 doesn't matter much

The game comes out at September if I’m not mistaken, and it’ll most likely not be as much of a hit as Spider-Man PS4. LEGO’s probably gonna stick to comic Avengers with new variants next year.
THELEGOBATMAN Posted May 27, 2020 Posted May 27, 2020 I would really love to get sets like "MCU Legacy" or "The Infinity Saga", which would be sets based on previous MCU movies. I think they would sell really well. Eh maybe one day...

I don’t know what’s happening with those animated shows they made sets on, but I could see them using their very loose game-inspired thing for a bit if there aren’t any upcoming shows. 5 hours ago, Guyon2002 said: The Minions delay wasn't really LEGO's fault.

Although I guess that was less so “due to the pandemic” and more so because minions completely overreacted in terms of how far they delayed the film.

There are only like two MCU inspired Iron Man armours, two MCU inspired villains and some random easter eggs in Avengers Tower.
PRbrickbuilder Posted May 28, 2020 Posted May 28, 2020 (edited) Knowing LEGO likes to reuse molds, do you think it is possible (if Striker is in the Armory set) that the Shuri gauntlet pieces in yellow are used for the suit gauntlets? Or do view another possible piece? Edited May 28, 2020 by PRbrickbuilder

Infinity War's Benatar, while yet another M-class Starship, is a completely seperate thing as the Milano was destroyed in Vol 2
