Well that's certainly possible, it's important to remember that the part isn't exclusive to marvel sets. It could be as simple as an architectural element in the next modular.

Prediction: the Avengers sets next year will be the anniversary sets like Harry Potter

…why would they celebrate the theme‘s 11th aniversary

It's also important to note that Thor had a golden Mjolnir in the comics for a little while(and had a golden arm) so it could just be for a new comic Thor figure which would be pretty cool.

Keep in mind too this could be just a custom colored hammer. I have seen these before in other colors 

 

and I would not expect avengers anniversary sets

Agreed. If they didn’t celebrate the 10 year anniversary celebrating the 11th sounds kind of ridiculous and unlikely. 
 

When did we see the 2022 mechs leak? I’m hoping we see the new mechs sometime soon. I actually ended up regretting not getting the Captain America mech when it released. Currently looking forward to the possible comic based Rocket and finding out whether Ghost Rider is a better face print for Ronnie, or a blue flamed variant. Also excited to see what movie the Quinjet is based on.

Oooooo I didn’t even consider that Ghost Rider might be the blue flame one. They probably won’t do it since it won’t be as easily recognizable as the og but I’d love to have that one.

Prediction: no.

If they wanted to celebrate the anniversary, we would've gotten sets this year.

Also, Raymundo is first and foremost a collector of prototypes, oddly coloured parts, and misprints. Sometimes he gets ahold of leaks (like that new plant part or Tonks‘ hairpiece early this year), but those are usually prototypes as well.

It could still be from an upcoming set, but since that hammer piece is not exclusive to Marvel, it could be a random weapon wielded by a Ninjago antagonist or a greebling detail in a bigger set to name two examples 

Other than 76222 and 76224, which might not happen at all, that's it for 2022 Lego Marvel as far as we are aware. @Captain Nemo 2023 thread when?

On the bright side, Instagram is slowly fixing itself to be something other than a completely broken mess and is finally showing the additional hashtags, so maybe we'll be able to actually use instagram to find images... A revolutionary concept to be sure.

@Ransom Fern is apparently planning to do something with his version of 76210 Hulkbuster, potentially modifying it. So keep an eye out for when that happens. Perhaps they can salvage the set.

Chances are we'll see the 2023 sets in around a week or two, or at least the mechs, so fingers crossed they have fixed the issues from the 2022 sets. A new mixel joint piece for the connection to the legs would be really useful so hopefully we get that. I really hope the Rocket Mech is actually a mech version of Groot, would be neat. Best set of 2023, Miles Morales Vs Morbius, is scheduled for January so we have something good to look forward to in the new year.

I wonder how hulkbuster is selling 

You think its selling? I was probably the most attached to it and even for me its a pass, unless it drops severely and even then it'd require a lot of changes to the design so it'd be more akin to a parts pack

Best case scenario? A mixture of delays resulted in the 10th anniversary wave getting pushed into Spring/Summer 2023 - such as Quinjet, Hulkbuster and the missing 76222 and 76224. Though that is best case scenario and not as realistic as them just revisiting specific sets under the legacy theme. We won't know for sure until we see both of these sets, but hopefully we'll see them before the end of the month.

Though a golden Thor hammer shared by someone who is into prototypes, miscolorations, etc... is not enough basis to remark on golden anniversary figures.

It's Robbie not Ronnie and considering the set includes a motorcycle it is most definitely NOT Robbie. Blue flames would mean Danny Ketch and that would be great considering we have yet to get him and using the version of him when he had blue flames would help differentiate him from Robbie and Johnny whom we've already gotten. As a mega Ghost Rider fan, I'm very excited to see pictures of this new set, hopefully it won't be much longer before we see it.

Official reveal was on the 15th November, I'd perhaps expect us to see the January 2023 mechs around the same time this year, perhaps the other non-movie associated sets also.

Manage your expectations. This is many times bigger than anything I ever worked on and I have had to abandon many projects that are a lot more simple

Thanks for correcting me. Honestly the biggest anticipation regarding said set is confirming whether or not we’ll actually get a villain. I still don’t like the thought of a $35 set with just one figure. Especially if said figure ends up being a repeat. 
 

But the fact that all the mechs, the Morbius and Ghost Rider sets are set to be comic based is wonderful. Feels like 2022 was so MCU focused and not in a good way (looking at you $550 Hulkbuster). I mean I guess we got Spidey and Friends sets but thats cartoon and not comic based (but who’s counting?).

Agreed, it's great to get more comic-based sets. As much as I love the MCU, it's incredibly limiting and a lot of characters I love, like Ghost Rider, have yet to appear in the MCU.

I'm almost done building the Black Panther bust and it's honestly pretty disappointing. I was excited for it because I thought it was a nice display piece, and I still think that. But the design does seem to cut some corners. I understand that LEGO designers have to work with challenging restrictions and Mark Stafford did an incredible job here for the most part. But there are more gaps than I expected and several panels on the helmet are so loose that I had a hard time attaching them and keeping them in place. And while I love that pink and purple pieces make up the interior to represent glowing vibranium, those colors poke through a little bit in too many places. I don't know why some of them weren't done in black instead to prevent that color leaking through. 

Between this and the Hulkbuster, I think I need to re-evaluate which Marvel sets I buy. I've been a Marvel completionist for several years but these D2Cs have really disappointed me. 

Personally I think that with the Marvel line doing well, they tried to turn it into the Star Wars Line with multiple big UCS sets every year. The problem is, Star Wars just inherently lends itself to more large sets, in multiple formats. While the marvel line definitely has that potential too, (I have and love the Bugle), the Sanctum could have used a bit more love, I think they need to choose more carefully.

Black panther is awesome, however they could have done a regular helmet for much less and I'm sure it would have done well!

Hulkbuster just cost too much, and there are already so many sizes and versions. They should have stuck with a $300-$400 version at most.

 

Star wars had years of standard UCS at $200 before dropping in occasional bigger sets, and even now they are going crazy with multiple larger and expensive sets. I think the Marvel line just needs to pick more carefully and slowly build up those big sets!

Marvel is the superheroes, the characters, the costumes and the design.  Lego has to give us minifigures, explore vehicles and locations as a side dish, and occasionally create themed builds.  Occasionally, they can't do 50 builds, big and small in a year, without minifigures, or almost ... one D2C a year is fine, but like the Bugle, not the bust and the HB 😑

Guys, hello everyone!

Please tell me, how long are LEGO sets being made? Right after the 2nd half of the year? Or how?

Sorry for the off-topic question

I don't quite understand your question. Do you mean how long does it take from the start of a set's design for it to show up on shelves? How long a set is produced before retiring?

These Marvel D2Cs have rivaled Assault on Hoth and Camp Nou for the worst D2Cs of all time. The BP bust is not only a weird choice, but has failures even as a display piece. The Hulkbuster is a solid idea for a D2C, but has horrible proportions and as such also fails as a display piece.

Yeah... I wasn't ready to put the Black Panther set in that camp when it was revealed but I kinda agree after completing the build. It felt very weird to me and I completely lost steam by the end because of how unfinished and rough around the edges some areas are. I feel like it needed one more pass before it was released. It's definitely not up to the standards of other LEGO D2Cs build quality-wise, although it still looks awesome on display if you can ignore the gaps and colors peeking through the black. 

Looks like Rescue will be included in the next LEGO Marvel magazine, certainly a great opportunity for those who didn't get the Hulkbuster set

Я не совсем понимаю ваш вопрос. Вы имеете в виду, сколько времени требуется от начала разработки дизайна набора, чтобы он появился на полках? Как долго производится набор перед выходом на пенсию?

Эти Marvel D2C соперничали с Assault on Hoth и Camp Nou за худшие D2C всех времен. Сбой BP - это не только странный выбор, но и сбои даже в качестве элемента отображения. Hulkbuster - отличная идея для D2C, но имеет ужасные пропорции и, как таковой, также не подходит для отображения.

I mean 1 question

I saw it leak with brick clicker. Thanos is the current magazine and that one is advertising black panther as next. So presumably rescue won't be until March 2023?
