After all the cool Marvel sets recently, it’s like they didn’t even try (and YES more Square Enix variants to accompany me in the holidays) Feels like the AC sets this year are primarily a spare parts dump. None of them have good exclusive figures and the best thing so far are the unsorted robes in HP... which are both boring and repeated three times.

I won't levy criticism on the Korg head until we see more. The one that leaks looks to be slightly misprinted and I'd like to see it with the headpiece attachment first. That Marvel advent calendar is horrenous though. All the figures are reused. The Iron Man sweater is meh and the Spider-man with the jacket ISN'T EVEN THE HOMECOMING VERSION, It looks like someone just put a Hidden side torso on a Spider-man. What a terrible selection of calendars this year all around. It seriously looks like a coast guard torso with green arms to me. Awful first advent calendar. Hopefully, when it doesn't sell well, Lego doesn't take it to mean that we don't want Marvel advent calendars.
Legocity2713 Posted June 3, 2021 Posted June 3, 2021 (edited) Not sure why everyone lost their sh*t when we knew that the Advent Calendar was going to repeat figs and that Spidey’s torso was not Homecoming accurate only Homecoming inspired. Its a set filled with fun surprises and main characters for kids. My biggest gripe is that they gave Thor his Infinity War hair instead of his Square Enix hair. The video game hair was the perfect color and here they excluded it because of the scarf. Also, does anyone see the 1x1 arc reactor print? I can’t see any print on that snowman. And what on earth is Spidey holding? A churro? What pieces are those? Edited June 3, 2021 by Legocity2713

I love the set and the others that just released but like.. seriously.. it's a bit insulting for the Marvel line if you see what I mean I had the exact same thought looking through the Star Wars sets. I'm glad Star Wars gets such beautiful figs but I would kill for Marvel to get that budget. I assume it's probably got something to do with Lego Star Wars being a money printing machine.

I cannot understand also what is Spidey holding. It looks like an yellow axle or bar (3L), but what does that means? Let's see if the hall of armor improves the quality of the set. At least, there is a fire extinguisher in the AC!
mrcngrck Posted June 3, 2021 Posted June 3, 2021 arc reactor is on that table next to black widow, isn't it?

dyl-and Posted June 3, 2021 Posted June 3, 2021 pretty sure ajax from eternals sets has the same head from one of the leaked jurrasic park figs
Lego lover 88 Posted June 3, 2021 Posted June 3, 2021 I’ve just thought of the possibility of big fig hairpiece if they reuse the new thanos mold for a hulk fig
GoldenNinja3000 Posted June 3, 2021 Posted June 3, 2021 The What If set looks awesome! A very unique build even though it's yet another oversized Iron Man mech. I really hope we stop getting Hulkbusters next year. The Advent Calendar is pretty meh, much like the HP one, which is disappointing. I wasn't expecting a ton but the exclusive figures aren't even good and like everyone else I’m sick of the video game variants.
ApocSlay Posted June 3, 2021 Posted June 3, 2021 8 hours ago, THELEGOBATMAN said: Most of them are either useless, or are micro builds of things like Quinjet (which are also useless). I'm planning on adding those to the toy shop in my town. To me they aren't far off some of the licro builds we've seen in the HP sets. Adding the ship from last year's HP AC set to my toy shop too. We all see potential in different places
PRbrickbuilder Posted June 3, 2021 Posted June 3, 2021 The legs of the Sakkar Hulkbuster are a bit weird. They look like the mech is in a sumo fighting position. And I wonder if in the show Tony builds the suit from a car in Sakkar junkyard. Would be nice (and explain the transformation).

Yeah, they´re using the 2018 HulkBuster Style of Leg Design, really wished they had used the 2020 Leg Design, it may be less accurate and Skinnier, but it looks much better imo.

LegoFjotten Posted June 3, 2021 Posted June 3, 2021 Wasn't there talk of the gauntlet being in the advent calendar as well, is that a bust or is it just not shown?
doclord Posted June 3, 2021 Posted June 3, 2021 (edited) Apparently, Promobricks has updated some information that confirms the WW2 Mech. The 76201 set is named "Captain Britain and the Hydra Stomper". It does make me afraid that the set figure will be Captain Britain and the CMF Peggy will be the army Peggy instead of vice versa....

THELEGOBATMAN Posted June 3, 2021 Posted June 3, 2021 Really? We get 2 Marvel Disney+ sets, and both of them are What If...? mechs? Such weak choices... 12 minutes ago, doclord said: Apparently, Promobricks has updated some information that confirms the WW2 Mech. The 76201 set is named "Captain Britain and the Hydra Stomper".

Nah, it's already confirmed CMF Peggy will be the Captain Britain Peggy.
lego_guyon02 Posted June 3, 2021 Posted June 3, 2021 Managed to squeeze the first 2 bags of the Final Battle set in between projects. I gotta say I'm already starting to get really annoyed by the sheer amount of clear-backed stickers, there's a ton of them but only like 5 that actually needed to be clearbacked At least the figures have been incredible so far.

Hopefully we get some WWII Hydra soldiers, maybe even an MCU Red Skull (I know the Avengers Tower Skull is technically MCU but I want an official one). However, knowing Lego, I think we'll get a repeat Watcher as the third figure. Edited June 3, 2021 by hvader

Nah, it's already confirmed CMF Peggy will be the Captain Britain Peggy. They are inspired designs, screen accurate and we don't know if any vehicles exist that are worth a set. I don't think we've even seen what ship Starlord T'challa drives. So I think they aren't bad picks. Good to hear about CMF Peggy.

Falconfan1414 Posted June 3, 2021 Posted June 3, 2021 (edited) Promobricks lists 76201 as Captain Britain and The Hydra Stomper looks like the set numbers were mixed up Edit: I should read more posts before I post Edited June 3, 2021 by Falconfan1414
Scarilian Posted June 3, 2021 Posted June 3, 2021 17 hours ago, Scarilian said: Personally leaning towards the idea of New Asgard being a thing and giving us Bro Thor (76193), Korg, Meik and either Rocket (76193) or Valkyrie (76194 or fishing variant). The other missing set could also wind up being What If variant so I would not say we have dodged the bullet yet on a potential WWII Iron Monger just yet... 43 minutes ago, doclord said: Apparently, Promobricks has updated some information that confirms the WW2 Mech.

I guess 76200 is going to be Thor's House/New Asgard then.

Caps Beard Posted June 3, 2021 Posted June 3, 2021 Seeing as What If sets are being released pretty much alongside the show do we think that means no WandaVision, F&WS or Loki sets? Personally hoping we may get a once a year Disney+ wave with 1 set per (live action) show. I’m choosing optimism over pessimism!
