Not that it needs updating, that figure was amazing (yes pun intended), it's more about the potential to get more Spider Man that isn't just Peter, Miles and Gwen every wave Okay this is just a thought, but for the sake of argument let's assume we're 100%, definetly getting a new minifigure of the character. The only thing they could tweak would be the logo on the torso. That is, unless, they decided to give him a new colour scheme (maybe a darker blue for the hoodie and dark red for the rest of the thing). I think that would make the two figures more distinct. Quote

For what you're paying, you're not getting much. Yeah I don't think I can justify getting the guardians advent calendar. I got the benetar last year so already have most of the figures. I'd like a drax and nebula but I'm bit fussed about the Christmas versions of them. I'll wait for the gotg3 sets next year Quote

Unsure what you'd like to go for in terms of your design, but personally: Scrap the Alley, extend the build back allowing for more interior space on each level Restructure the ground layer to provide more space between the door and the staircase, have a square chunk of the stairs removable to reveal Bruce Banner Restructure the middle layer either to allow for more flexibility with Gargantos battling OR to allow for more bookshelves and magical book display Restructure the attic layer to provide more space between the entry and the window, allow for room to display Doctor Strange near the window, add more display cases for magical stuff If you intend to display the Sanctum seperately then mirror the build to the other side (Note the roof is not possible to mirror existing design) Look into potentially making a seperate layer that may not be attached that could represent the basement/prison from NWH if you feel inclined I'm exploring some of these possibilities in my virtual redesign before I decide if it's worth going for the two copies of the set myself.

Not that I'm complaining, I really like it, but I don't know how they could update it in any way to make it better. Maybe a darker vest? Not sure he needs it, just spitballing. In any case, it wouldn't be the exact same prints of course, but I think you're right that it'd be pretty much identical. Man, how can one IP have a franchise so good and a franchise so bad from the same company? Like sure, you could compare Winter Soldier or the avengers films to Eternals, but that's nowhere near the level of difference between ITSV and morbius. It's closer to the gap between, like, Dark Knight and birds of prey or suicide squad 2016, and even then, those are seperated by around a decade. Quote

If they could change the logo on the torso to be in the center as well as increasing its size this time, it'd be perfect. The 2016 version was pretty much flawless, but I never liked how the logo was moved to the corner so that the hoodie piece didn't cover part of it. Plus getting some side leg printing with the ankle pouches would make it look more complete over using plain red legs. Edited August 18, 2022 by TheBatstan Quote

Thanks for the input. All are good points and some that I wanted to do for sure. I will make a special base for the sanctum and display it by itself. The idea is to double/mirror the build (I will figure out what parts to use for the roof) and make it wider/deeper. I'll try to start working on it next week, but probably next month during my vacation. Quote
thebricksbear Posted August 18, 2022 Posted August 18, 2022 (edited) Is Shuri's new hairpiece too feminine? I'm wondering if it'd make a good hairpiece for unmasked Killmonger.

As for Mordo's hairpiece, I think it's the most accurate representation of her hair existing in LEGO form. It's much better than what they actually went with. Quote

PGBQW Posted August 21, 2022 Posted August 21, 2022 Surreal how all the clues we get about the set are about what it's not. If you had to put your money, what do you think it would be? Not what you'd rather or hope to, instead what do you think it's more likely to be? Quote

Well if that ends up being true, my wallet will be relieved! I cant think of something currently that I would consider blowing $500 that wasn't Avengers tower or a Helicarrier. Maybe they will surprise me, but I'm hoping I won't even be tempted by this. Now to just wait to see the Hulkbuster, so I know if I can skip that too. Darn pricey sets! Quote
GarmadonFan Posted August 21, 2022 Posted August 21, 2022 My guess is something like the Harry Potter Icons collection. A bunch of Avengers gear from the movies that might look great next to Thor's Hammer. Quote
Meaf Posted August 21, 2022 Posted August 21, 2022 At this point I think the most likely choice is something related to the original Avengers as a sort of nod to the anniversary. My guess is either a diorama of the Battle of New York or a UCS Quinjet, though I don't know if there's actually much demand for either of those (especially the latter). Quote
GarmadonFan Posted August 22, 2022 Posted August 22, 2022 If it was a giant destroyed Battle of New York with a crashed Chitauri Leviathan that connected to the other modular buildings I would be interested. Quote
Scarilian Posted August 22, 2022 Posted August 22, 2022 (edited) Wish I could get into the spirit of speculation, but if it's anything other than Avengers Tower or potentially a new Helicarrier then it's really dropped off my priorities and I think it'd be a hard sell with that price releasing in November. Coupled with remarks made that I've relayed prior, I'm lowering expectations and happy just waiting to find out. At least my wallet has stopped screaming. 3 hours ago, PGBQW said: Not what you'd rather or hope to, instead what do you think it's more likely to be? Something similar to the HP Icons collection. Including Rocket Racoon (To display alongside the Baby Groot set), Captain America's shield, Iron Man's arc reactor and probably Tony Stark's glasses from FFH. That way it'd end the year with you being able to have Thor's Hammer, Cap's Shield and Iron Man's Reactor on display or you could pose like Cap with the Shield and Hammer. It was such a universally hated idea that it became the subject of an April Fools joke post that also recieved anger and frustration at the concept of it... but sadly it's the most realistic possibility - if not for some remarks I've relayed prior in this thread regarding what it isn't. The alternative would be something else Infinity War/Endgame inspired or perhaps a comic inspired set. 7 minutes ago, Mandalorianknight said: It's the UCS Quinjet. If it was around $320 which would be double the Guardians Ship, I'd agree, but even if you included a new big fig Hulk and all the core Avengers, Chitauri, Loki, etc... I doubt the Quinjet alone could justify the $500 price tag. Edited August 22, 2022 by Scarilian Quote

jonwil Posted August 22, 2022 Posted August 22, 2022 As someone who collects all the MCU buildable things (Iron Man helmet, Infinity Gauntlet, Thor's Hammer and hopefully the Nano Gauntlet if I can score one on sale) I hope its not more buildable things. Quote

When the year (in LEGO sense, because nearly all regular retailer sets release until October 1st) is ending, and we know only the set numbers for a set, usually it means it was cancelled — or postponed. Perhaps those set numbers were for Aquaman. Quote
BusterNut31 Posted August 22, 2022 Posted August 22, 2022 After looking at jjpsleaksite stories on instagram im so nervous to see what this 500 dollar set is. maybe ill be surprised by it but at least its off my shopping list. Time to continue building on my own avengers tower. Quote
