TOTDForever Posted March 8, 2021 Posted March 8, 2021 Im not gonna lie, that second Shang Chi set is disappointing....especially after how awesome that first one that leaked was. **Sigh** well 1/2 ain't bad
JediJosh Posted March 8, 2021 Posted March 8, 2021 I'm gutted the second Shang Chi set doesnt include Fin Fang Foom. At least we are getting 1 dragon in the other set. Just wish we were getting Fin Fang Foom.

Unless they have changed everything about him for the film, which would kind of suck if they have.
Fenghuang0296 Posted March 8, 2021 Posted March 8, 2021 Is that set literally just a car and two bikes? It sort of looks like there’s also a turret of some sort but that might be part of the background art, I can’t tell. All the same, definite meh from me. (Might be good for my biker gang though, hmm.)
NXS7 Posted March 8, 2021 Posted March 8, 2021 Just my own educated guess, but I think the third figure is Katy (Awkwafina's character), the fourth could be Razor Fist, or someone else completely, but the name is about the same length as Shang Chi
Legocity2713 Posted March 8, 2021 Posted March 8, 2021 That Shang Chi set looks like one of funnest set for kids. 2 bikes, a car, and a turret is sick. As for us AFOLs, its just a Lego City set with some generic MCU-based figures. Nothing iconic or crazy. The other set may have more value for us, but I may wait and see if the polybag includes Shang Chi because his fig is all I want.

But once again, I still don't think he's 100% confirmed for the film Even if he was in the film though, I wasn't expecting him in this set anyway, if the larger set is a dragon, I doubt the smaller would've been a second dragon Just now, Legocity2713 said: As for us AFOLs, its just a Lego City set with some generic MCU-based figures.

Bit of a crazy circumstance for us to see sets before any trailers, usually we're speculating what the sets will be from the trailers

I always assumed if he is in the film then the set would have included him not some generic dragon. I get that dragon could be him but I hope not because Fin Fang Foom deserves to be this big and mighty green dragon not some water based serpent dragon. The set with the dragon is 100% the best one out of the 2.

I have a feeling that the second set isn't actually screen-accurate (especially them all having a fight while a big dragon hangs out) and may be something they whipped up based on concept art.

SuperSith Posted March 8, 2021 Posted March 8, 2021 (edited) (Regarding the new Shang-Chi set) Is it just me or do the character designs for the two antagonists look different in the set picture vs the minifigure line-up in the bottom right? Edit: If my eyes are correct, and the bottom right character is Razor fist, it looks like his right hand is normal and his left "hand" is one of his signature blade prosthetics.

It could very well be Shao Lao which would make a lot of sense given Shang-Chi's Chi powers and the general look of the dragon. As for the newly leaked set, wow that's disappointing. Looks like it'll be a miss. The builds are boring and generic and the figures aren't very exciting. Come on LEGO, we get a movie about a superhero martial arts tournament and one of the sets for it isn't an arena!? For shame... Edited March 8, 2021 by ToaDraco
Surge Posted March 8, 2021 Posted March 8, 2021 Ngl im pretty disaponited by this. Its just so generic imo, at least the other set is really good tho! Can someone remind me how much has this been said to be?
cosmic Posted March 8, 2021 Posted March 8, 2021 Consider it money saved on an expensive year. If I collected MCU sets I’d see this year as really expensive lol I’d be happy the Shang-Chi set is unappealing, this summer wave sounds amazing and costly.
Fenghuang0296 Posted March 8, 2021 Posted March 8, 2021 On the bright side about the new set, it looks like Shang-Chi is the only repeated character. So there’s a total of seven new figures (nine counting the dragon and weird little lizard thing} across these two sets! Is that a record? It’s pretty great for a sub-theme with only two sets.
hvader Posted March 8, 2021 Posted March 8, 2021 (edited) That’s a Shang-Chi set??? Haha looks like Speed Racers (like someone has pointed out). Could be a cool scene in the movie Correction: fourth figure seems to be Razor Fist The second minifigure seems like a Wenwu repeat (I don’t mind getting more Mandarin figures) The third minifigure seems like Katy Seems like a cooler selection of figures than the other set Edited March 8, 2021 by hvader

Pretty sure Mandarin/Wenwu is also in this set too

Just compared images of the two sets. 90% sure that’s a Wenwu repeat. I’m excited because this means we may get more action sequences with the Mandarin Edited March 8, 2021 by hvader
doclord Posted March 8, 2021 Posted March 8, 2021 (edited) The idea that the Mandarin is going after Shang Chi personally in a motorcycle is more intriguing than the set itself.. Would be funny if it was Lego's nod to the Iron Man 3 Mandarinmobile. Edited March 8, 2021 by doclord
hvader Posted March 8, 2021 Posted March 8, 2021 (edited) Mandarin golf cart Mandarin bike I’m loving this. Imagine Mandarin on a motorbike doing magic. That’d be pretty awesome Edited March 8, 2021 by hvader

Llke they did with having two variants of Killmonger in 2018. I’m happy with that!

Once Lego added that detail on the arms the dual molded legs look noticeably un-webbed and I think it would really perfect the figure to add that webbing. To each his own but I really think the new arms won’t work (for me at least) until the same webbing is added onto the leg print.
