I just hope they make the villain figures look awesome. Official reveal won't happen for a long time I'd say. Lego Con sounds terrible, they revealed LITERALLY every possible set before this event, I mean what is this...

It was pretty obvious what they were going for.

Gunship, D+ cmf, HP D2C, more MK sets, something about Ninjago probably, so I wouldn't give up my hopes.
PsychoBuilder Posted June 22, 2021 Posted June 22, 2021 Okay, I double checked the description—apparently it’s both CA and DS.

The LEGO Con description only mentions a Star Wars set reveal, and today they revealed Mario sets, so I wouldn't be surprised if tomorrow, thursday and friday we get reveals for other themes, including Marvel (hopefully the mech, CMF and advent calendar), leading to the event itself, which seems to have a focus in other stuff instead of set reveals.

Same goes for the CMF, they messed up literally every reveal so I don't think this time it'll be different. There's nothing Ninjago left for this year too. Edited June 22, 2021 by THELEGOBATMAN

Yeah, but it doesn't mean they will reveal only SW set reveal.

Yes, but it's Lego Con and it's a perfect place to reveal sets, especially D2C. It's like Comic Con, where they sometimes reveal sets, too. Let's just wait

In the video they said "official exclusive set reveals" I'd lean towards a reveal of the Korg set at Lego Con, it is apparently meant to be a 'store exclusive' so I can see it being revealed at the Lego Con as opposed to elsewhere. The WW2 mech has already leaked, so I expect that to be revealed as it's bound to leak again (In clearer images) and if they fail to reveal it officially we'll likely see it before July regardless. Maybe we'll wind up with a surprise set or polybag or something featuring Drax, as he's a notable absence from this wave, though I suppose that is wishful thinking. I still would not be surprised if we get blindsided by an additional set or polybag at some stage though - we only really know about the Korg set thanks to the leak of Korg's head piece and the early remarks on a 'New Asgard/Thor House' Marvel CMF series could wind up appearing, but it'd make more sense to wait until after we a new trailer/teaser for 'What If' that shows all the characters we are missing - so I would not expect that till August. Everything after September that is Marvel related is unlikely to be revealed at Lego Con, they'll probably wait till closer - even if some of it is unrelated to current films such as the Far From Home legacy (?) set with Mysterio. I also hope we get some other Marvel stuff revealed, at least an acknowledgement that they plan to do more legacy sets. That would be enough to tide us over for a while.
THELEGOBATMAN Posted June 23, 2021 Posted June 23, 2021 Just watch them reveal literally nothing from Marvel
hondohnaka Posted June 23, 2021 Posted June 23, 2021 I got my hands on the Benatar, damn it's pretty but the figures suck. The Chitauri was wholly unnecessary, Rocket's such a boring-looking figure and Thor really doesn't fit. What's that, those three could be replaced by Nebula, Gamora and Drax and the set would be perfect? Dang.

Why would you replace the character who literally pilots that ship I agree that a Chitauri should've been replaced with Drax tho.

Fair enough. I guess I'm just salty because the grey is so drab and boring IMO. I like the tail addition tho. And I get why they put Thor in it but come on he was in the ship for five minutes. Nebula if anyone is the biggest oversight she flew the ship most during Endgame which is clearly when this is from.

To be fair it's supposed to be from Endgame's ending, but we know how loosely based on it this is. Why does Thor wear his final battle outfit? Why is a Chitauri here? Why is there no Drax nor Nebula? It's one of my favourite Marvel sets ever, but the selection of the minifigures (not the quality) is quite... questionable.

These figures look really damn good (with the exception of Rocket) but they're just dumb choices. Fortunately Nebula and Gamora are cheap on Bricklink as of now (they're slowly rising on Ebay) so I grabbed those, Ravager Gamora because it just looks cooler. Still a swing and a miss from TLG tho.

GoldenNinja3000 Posted June 23, 2021 Posted June 23, 2021 I'm honestly just surprised at the lack of Nebula in general in these Endgame sets. She had a prominent role in the movie and the last figure of her wasn't accurate since it didn't have her orange stripe, so I really would've liked an updated version of her.

Honestly I don't get it.. they remade Mantis with an updated torso when her previous one was perfectly fine but we still haven't got a Nebula minifig with her ravager outfit.. and she's got it since 2017.. in 3 movies, where she was an important character in all of them...

Yes that’s the point I’m making, we are all expecting it to be revealed about late July/early August but in fact it could be revealed Saturday well ahead of schedule like Vidiyo Bandmates Series 2 was. I apologised if I missed your point, I think I may have.

While I’m excited to get this set, I think the selection of minifigures is odd. Drax should’ve definitely been the obvious choice over Thor but I guess the inclusion of an already used minifigure in this wave was inevitable. I know I’m in the vast minority but I really don’t care for the Star-Lord minifigure, either. I think the Superman hair doesn’t fit, the dual molded legs are a little dull without printing and yet another absence of his signature helmet in a set is ridiculous. I get that I’m being a huge stickler but Star-Lord is my fav character in the MCU. Luckily, this is Lego and I can customize my minifig however I want.
