Marvel Superheroes 2022 - Rumors & Discussion

[Scarilian]

Still waiting on the Promobricks update, it's possible it may have been relating to the official images of 76207 which appeared online recently and they reported on yesterday, have tried contacting them but not heard any updates.

In regards to the Sanctum, I've realised we might not actually see it anytime soon - it depends how spoilery the characters are. If they indeed include a potential variant of Spider-man, Iron Man and/or other mystery characters they may intend to not reveal the set until very close to release. We are currently only certain of the August retail release date and it's unclear if the May online release is the start or end of May, if the later we may not hear anything more about the set until May.

Sadly other than the releases we are aware of, April might be a mostly quiet month also. Though it is hinted we are getting a Thor L&T trailer around the middle of the month (Possibly 11th April) which might give us a little more to talk about in regards to the sets and things we would have wanted the sets to include.

[Legocentrico]

last year we had a complete list of summer releases and a lot of minifigure leaked, this year almost nothing

Someone is clearly killing it at that new leak buster position at Lego!

Did the Korg battle pack release already? Seeing it pop up quite a bit but haven't heard anything or seen it

Yes

[HatBricks]

I'm going to predict we don't see the Sanctum revealed until mid May, with a late May release with first leaked pictures being early-mid May)

When Lego was making this set, they probably expected the movie would still hit it's March release date, meaning if the Sanctum would fill the Daily Bugle's previous release period it would release far enough afterward to not risk spoiling anything (since while not confirmed, the rumored minifigure roster of the set at least strongly implies there will be some spoiler characters included). And since the it was probably too late to delay the set once the movie was delayed, it would make sense how we could get a set with spoiler content so close to the release of the movie.

Who knows for sure, but I'd be shocked if it comes any earlier than late May.

"too late to delay the set"

Dude, they delayed eternals sets when the movie delayed, and AFAIK those had already had images leak, so clearly they were far enough along in production. They cancelled the osprey set when it had already reached stores. They 100% could delay a set if the delay was announced 201 days in advance.

[Clone OPatra]

They delayed the mechs after they'd already sent out review copies 

It's never too late to delay anything.

[HatBricks]

You make some very strong points I forgot to consider I was thinking in regards to the first Doctor Strange set from January, that probably would have come in March had they'd always known it would end up being in May from the beginning.

But you're both absolutely right about that, I guess I'll just hope they don't then  As long as it comes out after the movie hopefully they wouldn't see it as a problem.

[kevkipo]

I defenitely doubt the credibility and don't want to stir up any fake leaks (we've had enough of those already) but what do you guys think about this user account on instagram called (bohn3r_bricks) who posted a handful of leaks the past couple of days?

Several of these leaks sound a bit specific however, yet the username completely throws me off... Also the piece count almost seems copy pasted but I usually don't really pay attention to that.

Was typing up this post when you commented, lol. Guess we both had a similar idea to address the Bohn3r situation

• Last year the user bohner_bricks provided us with information on the Daily Bugle and the CMF series.
• This year a user 'bohn3r_bricks' has been posting leaks starting on April 1st.

While legitimacy was unclear at the time the three newest fake leaks are of sets we already know the identity of or have enough information that we can dismiss 'bohn3r_bricks' remarks. The accurate information we have provided by Promobricks is as follows:

• 76216 is Iron Man 2 Workshop
• 76217 is Baby Groot
• 76220 is a 43 piece set priced at 9,99$

'bohn3r_bricks' tries to claim the sets as being a 'Battle at Kamar-Taj', 'Illuminati Ambush' and a '6+ She-Hulk polybag' respectfully, which vastly decreases the likelihood of any of the leaks they provide being accurate. I would not view any of the leaks mentioned by 'bohn3r_bricks' as accurate primarily due to these three most recent leaks contradicting elements of information we already know.

If the original bohner_bricks were to return, chances are high they would use the same instagram account rather than creating a new one. As such I've deemed 'bohn3r_bricks' as fake leaks.

Thanks Scarilian  that clears things up (and is some Batman-level detective work at that)

You don’t need Batman-level skills to figure this one out  One of the most boneheaded fake leaks I‘ve seen in a long time. Remember, kids:

1. Check if the set numbers already exist on proper set lists
2. Polybags obviously don‘t have regular set numbers 

[Scarilian]

The Harry Potter June sets have been revealed, so this officially starts 'Summer Reveal Season'. I'd guess this week has potential for reveals, though Marvel normally winds up being one of the last.

Yeah, they tend to be among the last sets to be revealed. Baby Groot and the Iron Man 2 set are the only regular ones scheduled for June, right? The Sanctum and Hulkbuster are both D2C sets it seems  And then there are the unknown sets scheduled for September! I hope we learn soon what those are

It happened because of Secrets of Dumbledore releasing. It was a special occasion, which fortunately for us LEGO decided to celebrate.

We'll have to wait at least a month for Marvel ones.

In general:

• MAY: 76218: Sanctum Sanctorum (Online Release)
• JUNE: 76216: Iron Man 2 Workshop + 76217: Baby Groot
• JULY: ?
• AUGUST: 76220 4+ ($10, 43 pcs) + 76221 ($45, 456 pcs) + 76218 Sanctum Sanctorum (Retail Release)
• SEPTEMBER: 76225 ($25) + 76226 ($25) + 76230: ($25) + 76231 Guardians Of The Galaxy Calendar ($45, 268 pcs) inspired by Guardians Of The Galaxy Holiday Special

We also have 76222, 76223 and 76224 which are undated but probably fall into those four months along with 76215 (Hulkbuster MKII) and 76210 ($500 D2C)

That's unfortunate, but I suppose when we finally do get Marvel Summer stuff revealed at least we won't have long to wait for them to release.

Have you any of you guys near Lego shops seen the minifigure set selling out? 
 

Im waiting to visit my local store until the Jurassic world sets come out and want to pick up the Thor set at the same time. Do you guys think it will should still be there if it’s only 2 weeks after release? 

[Legocity2713]

Just picked up the Korg pack. Pretty awesome that the value here is on par or greater with sets from 10+ years ago when figs were $3 each. Only have the Chitauri fig so the rest of them are first timers for me.

Thor: liking him a lot. Great, great, great face print. Every Thor figure has honestly been awesome in their own right.

Valkyrie: very nice torso but her face print is a little big. Not sure how to explain it but it seems like they “zoomed in” on her face. Still a good figure.

Chitauri: probably my least fav design of the 4 Chitauris they’ve done, but I’m loving that purple shield.

Miek: strange printing on the face and I’m not a fan of very small and delicate builds like his armor but it looks good all together so I cannot complain here either. Probably will display him without the armor and will have Korg just hold him. I think the flower petal pieces are a great move for his body.

Korg: the reason I got this set. I expected to not like him much and thought that his headpiece would make him look too much like Toad from Super Mario but I actually think he’s great. The face and head probably still should have been one mold because those gray rock lines just make him look old or the headpiece should’ve been molded smaller/tighter but he still looks good and recognizable. More on par with his comic book look tbh. Will display him with his mouth closed face print because the open one looks a little too silly.

Overall, a very nice pack and I hope to see more like it. I’ve always loved these types of sets. Its crazy how fast they’ve been selling out online so be sure to check Lego stores.

[Buckethead]

If we're getting another NWH set, I don't think it's arriving this year. Lego could be different, but I don't know.

 

[NoOneOfImportance]

If anything this year, I'd guess not until closer to October time-frame, but even then. LEGO could also rush out some smaller set to go with the movie and get the figs out there, but I feel like they'd opt for a larger set/sets very late this year or early next year.

[Scarilian]

I honestly would not be surpised if they capitalised on the popularity of the Spider-men by having Tobey's Spider-man exclusive to the Sanctum set (Just speculating that he might be the Spider-man included) until that same figure is included in a potential NWH set where the main appeal would be Andrew's Spider-man.

I feel August 2023 has potential for NWH legacy sets, given the last announced release date for a Phase 4 film is July 2023 - meaning the rest of the year is currently empty for Marvel movies so they could easily do some legacy sets to fill the gap.

Edited April 12, 2022 by Scarilian

[The Stud]

It makes sense too since we likely won’t get another Spider-Man film (not including the animated stuff) until like 2024 or 2025. Releasing some more spoilery NWH stuff to bridge the gap sounds logical (plus more comic stuff of course and probably sets for the Freshmen Year animated series.) In addition to the legacy characters, it’d be nice to get some arm printing for Tom’s Spidey too. It bugs me how the Upgraded and Integrated suits don’t have it while the black/gold suit (which is just the same suit inside out!) does. I’d like a new Ned with that letterman jacket and finally an MCU Aunt May as well.

[Scarilian]

It's been over a month since the last bit of new information, plus Lego missed doing/announcing anything for the 10th anniversary of the Lego Marvel theme.

It's unlikely that we'd get a big Marvel announcement on May 4th (10th Anniversary of US release for Avengers 2012) as that tends to be focused around Star Wars, however the International release of Avengers was around the 25th/26th April, so perhaps we'd get something revealed then? I hope so at this stage...

[CF Mitch]

Ooh, that sounds like a good possibility, indeed. But, I wouldn't expect the Sanctum Sanctorum yet (not saying YOU were, just to be clear), 'cause of possible spoilers and everything.
I can't exactly recall when other sets will supposedly be released? But maybe they will be revealed/announced  

Regards,
Mitch
