cosmic Posted February 5, 2021 Posted February 5, 2021 (edited) Really digging the idea that Korg comes in. Shang-Chi set, it makes sense based off of rumors of that film. These discussions of “will it be an oversized Milano, an oversized Infinity Gauntlet, or another oversize HulkBuster, is exactly why I want a comics based D2C. The options are limitless and quite frankly I struggle to see any type of appeal in oversized vehicles or builds that serve no practical purpose. I guess we could get a D2C of Asgard, the Avengers compound for the final End-Game battle, or a proper Stark Tower (seriously how was the last Avengers Tower $100, it was on par in size with the $50 Daily Bugle). But aside from that there are no MCU builds that intrigue me and I really want a large playset with many figures. Star Wars and Ninjago get D2C’s of large structures with many figures all the time, its about time we break the cycle of SuperHero D2C’s that include very little figures and also don’t have any play value to them. Also not to be annoying but I reviewed a character list of MCU heroes and yeah I am praying this CMF series is comic based bc we are missing literally zero interesting costumes for major heroes in the MCU besides fat Thor, and battle damaged Cap and I am so okay with them releasing an end game set to cover those but good lord all the interesting suits for major heroes we are missing are comic based and I pray Lego recognizes that.

I could see them doing a mixture of costumes from a variety of marvel medias. DC is not Marvel. Marvel has MCU, a consistent universe which has been going on for nearly 13 years now, and it will definitely be going for another 13 years and beyond. DC has movies. Independent movies, which at least half of them are either rated R or too un-popcorney. It's also great, but it has no potential for a CMF series - which has to be consistent.

BrickBob Studpants Posted February 5, 2021 Posted February 5, 2021 (edited) Besides, the general public gives a flying Kre-O about Marvel comics. The MCU is where it’s at. Ever notice how the Marvel Studios logo doesn’t feature the comic book pages any more? I don’t mind comic-based sets at all, but D2C sets and CMF series should be dominated by the MCU in my opinion, and rightfully so. Edited February 5, 2021 by Lego-Freak

SpiderJazz Posted February 5, 2021 Posted February 5, 2021 Lmao tbh, Endgame alone is missing a lot of characters. The whole culmination of MCU needs Wave 2 already!

BrickBob Studpants Posted February 5, 2021 Posted February 5, 2021 They could easily fill more than one CMF series with stuff missing from the MCU. Just look at @just2good’s and @Ashnflash’s CMF drafts, there are more than enough options available

Some of them are the main superhero costumes that we missed getting. Characters that appeared multiple times in movies. Oh man this will be never-ending so I think let's just stop talking about it.
hvader Posted February 5, 2021 Posted February 5, 2021 (edited) I understand and respect that some people prefer comics LEGO over MCU LEGO. However, they have to realize that most people (myself included) don’t really want the other stuff (new comics or Enix sets) when 80% of the highest grossing film of all time and a 11 year culmination of the entire MCU is not represented in LEGO form. How can we be happy with LEGO moving on to something like Enix when all the other toy companies (I can’t believe I’m saying this again) are still making Endgame products? Please just let me have this moment of glory thinking that we’ll get more Endgame and MCU legacy sets . Some people move on, but not us. Edited February 5, 2021 by hvader

It should be pretty obvious by now that a lot of people clearly don't agree with you and you're one of the few who thinks there's nothing missing Or maybe the lists I keep seeing don’t interest me and I think the newer molds and vibrant colors of the comics would translate better. Ronin I still believe can be released in a set along with fat suit Thor and while you may be correct that others are excited for newer Iron Man variants I am unfortunately a bit too stubborn to be quiet on the fact that I see comics Gamora, Squirrel Girl, or a Marvel Now Wasp as more desirable than a new Iron Man suit, of which we have many. You’re correct, I failed to consider the demand newer Iron Man variants have. But again, these lists don’t excite me and maybe I should rephrase it to be, no missing MCU suits that I think are worthy of taking up a minifig slot. I’m okay with an endgame set covering some of these missing suits, but I think this series should be an opportunity to give us comic variants of Ant-Man and the Wasp (both of which have at least 3 variants I’d like to see them in. Over MCU figures which can feasibly be released in sets and which cover characters who are already heavily represented in Lego. Also I’ll comment what I want if I feel it expresses my thoughts correctly. Those previous comments were on a speculation nothing was missing and this one came after checking a list. It’s fine if others disagree thats cool, but I still think the comic designs are far more desirable than whatever is missing from the movies. And those figures could still be released considering how popular the MCU and how likely we are to get sets for it for years to come. As opposed to the few comic waves we get which are sparse and mostly cover Spiderman. I think this series would be most useful for the theme overall if the roster of heroes covered covered heroes we are unlikely to see in sets. All those figures are 1. Boring to me (and I’m okay with being in the minority there) 2. Easy to include in sets (I see that as objective). I’ll hold back on this sentiment for now and will continue to comment as more news is released, but I needed to clarify that I don’t need to be in the majority to express an opinion and the reason I re-expressed this sentiment bc I specifically engaged in a new behavior to try and see if I would change my mind.
RobbieHxC Posted February 5, 2021 Posted February 5, 2021 I adore the MCU as much as the next super-nerd, but consider the following inequality: the number of Marvel comics main characters who haven't appeared in minifigure form > the number of MCU main characters who haven't appeared in minifigure form I have 5? War Machine minifgures yet not a single Daredevil, so I think we can see why some people people would rather unique comics characters to a MCU variant minifgure such as Iron Patriot Mk2

The general public won't care about unique characters from comics because MCU is the main focus today.

You phrased my thoughts better than I could have. Its an opinion and I’m fine being outnumbered but it’s specifically because of how few comic sets we get and how many figures are missing comic variants over MCU variants. Also considering how many of their inclusions are characters which are still well represented in Lego sets. It’s how few we get and how easy it is to include their desired characters in sets. If Lego can revisit the Tim Burton Batman films and the Adam West Batman series I’m sure it would be easy for them to revisit an endgame set while the MCU is literally still producing content. on a different note I still want to take a moment and marvel at what the theme has accomplished thus far. I’m looking at my counter and I see mini figures of White Tiger, Nova, Captain Marvel, Groot, and Rescue. I’m just so impressed by what we’ve gotten so far I’m not angry at whatever Lego does so long as they keep up the quality. Really happy with my Lego Marvel collection I think this theme really lived up to the hype it instilled in me when it was first announced in 2012. And yes I will admit the MCU waves played a huge role in that (Infinity War and Far From Home were some of the best waves ever).

They aren't satisfying either side. Well, with those Square Enix sets, we did get new variants of Black Panther, Thor, Black Widow, Hawkeye, Captain American, Thanos, Falcon, War Machine, Captain Marvel, Rescue, and Iron Man. And we got new variants of Spider-man based on variants that were based on comics. But they just weren't what fans wanted.\ Off-topic: Spoiler 4 hours ago, Lego-Freak said: Besides, the general public gives a flying Kre-O about Marvel comics.

Several of the non-film sets are based on the various TV shows.* And then on top of that a lot of the 'comic' sets that aren't based on the TV shows are just weird random assemblages that Lego has made up (all the Spider-vehicles, for instance, although I guess the same could be said about various MCU sets). At this point though, I'm happy for the CMF to go either way. I just hope it's a healthy balance like the DC line. I know you all want all the missing costumes, but I hope we get some new stuff too. 6 redesigns and 6 new characters would be cool. Edit: *Luke Cage is a good example of what I mean. He's one of my favourites. But if you want MCU/Netflix Cage, you're out of luck. And if you want a comic-book Cage, well, you're still out of luck because it's based on the Ultimate Spider-Man show.

gedren_y Posted February 6, 2021 Posted February 6, 2021 When it comes to the Marvel CMF, I'm of the opinion that an MCU series wouldn't give us much in the way of new and interesting molds. Even cartoon based would give us much more mold value. A six-armed Spider-Man would be interesting. I have my hopes for what the rest of the upcoming Marvel sets will be, but I think I'll leave off on any more speculation. We don't have much longer to wait for more concrete leaks to start surfacing.
