My ideal X-Mansion would be to have it split up and sold as 2-3 separate modulars - center of the house should be 32x32 with classroom and lounge on the main floor, rooms on the 2nd, and Cerebro room on the 3rd since you can't have a basement, and a bit of a backyard. Then the east and west wings could be ~16-20x32 respectively giving you a lot of space for green areas and outdoor facilities. Being sold as 2-3 separate modulars would also guarantee that most of the key X-Men and villains would get representation in minifig. That sounds like a fantastic way to add some width and keep costs spread out over a few years. Let's hope we'd end up with a Daily Bugle minifigure situation, rather than the Sanctum.
JVM Posted January 6, 2023 Posted January 6, 2023 Unlikely as heck at this point, but the Green Drax minifig has made me really crave a Comic-inspired Guardians of the Galaxy set. The short hair/white armor Gamora and Green Drax would both make pretty neat minifigs.

I can't think of any time it's actually happened, but I always see people expecting them to happen together The Fantastic Beasts: Crimes of Grindelwald set, and a few Jurassic World: Dominion ones (with the rest revealed a week after that). But it's an incredibly rare event.

Last info we had on the set was a potential release date of March, so they could hold off on the official reveal until after the film releases on February 17th if they wanted - depends whether they include spoilery aspects in the set would could explain the lack of marketing for the set currently. MODOK seems like an options he's not been focused much yet. I'd lean to Ant-Man, Wasp, Kang and a buildable MODOK - Cassie getting saved for Kang Dynasty/Secret Wars.
Legocentrico Posted January 6, 2023 Posted January 6, 2023 some new promo-art leaked and Cassie is very present, I start to fear for Kang 🤔

Let's hope we'd end up with a Daily Bugle minifigure situation, rather than the Sanctum. Yeah, this is definitely a "concern" for me as well, there's just so many iconic X-men. I really hope they upgrade Cyclops and do him justice, I'm not a fan of just the minifigure head + print and Lego has done a lot of hair/visor specialized pieces in Ninjango so hoping Marvel can get that same treatment. Also, hope we get some of the characters like Beast, Jubilee, Psylocke, Gambit, Iceman, Bishop, Cable, Angel, Banshee, Apocalypse, Mr. Sinister, there's just a lot of potential that Lego has yet to explore with X-men. Playsets are not the way to go if you care about quality.
BusterNut31 Posted January 6, 2023 Posted January 6, 2023 yeah but those seem like the hero promo images. The ant-man team can't fly towards or battle nothing. there has to be a villain in a set to create action.

Either way, people are going to complain. If it's Cassie, people will complain that we didn't get the main villain. If it's Kang, people will complain that Kang is definately going to appear again soon, but it might be longer for Cassie. And the complaints are reasonable, too. 4 minifigs in a $30 set shouldn't be unrealistic.
Legocentrico Posted January 6, 2023 Posted January 6, 2023 I only complain about the repetitions, if they are unreleased minifigures it's ok in any case 😁
Lemerbrix Posted January 6, 2023 Posted January 6, 2023 Just a reminder, the $200 set could be a modular, it’s got more pieces than the sanctum, other modulars are similarly priced, etc now I doubt it is avengers tower, but anyone got a good idea

THELEGOBATMAN Posted January 7, 2023 Posted January 7, 2023 Why do people still think that they'd ever make a No Way Home 200€ D2C? Making a set for a movie that has three Spider-Men, and five of their villains unavailable to children, which are the actual target of those sets, would be a ridiculous business decision.

While I’d prefer a D2C with all the relevant characters, the cash cow that is NWH can be milked more efficiently with 3 sets in various sizes I hope they FINALLY take advantage of it this year
Legocentrico Posted January 7, 2023 Posted January 7, 2023 10 ore fa, THELEGOBATMAN ha detto: Perché la gente pensa ancora che farebbe mai un No Way Home 200€ D2C? Fare un set per un film che ha tre Spider-Men e cinque dei loro cattivi non disponibili per i bambini, che sono il vero bersaglio di quei set, sarebbe una decisione aziendale ridicola. I don't get your point 🤔

A smallhandful of regular sets with these characters would very likely outperform a D2C one
Kaijumeister Posted January 7, 2023 Posted January 7, 2023 @BrickBob Studpants Couldn’t agree more, I’d go as far as saying that a wave of more affordable sets would be guaranteed to outperform a D2C. Why price out your main target demographic right? Plus, I can’t imagine Lego wanting to miss the hype train given that Hasbro and Funko will soon be debuting their NWH merchandise this year anyway.

The $200 set also has a $14.99 and a $99.99 set to go along with it so 3 sets across 3 different price ranges could work. You could also say the same thing about the $25, $35, $100 sets too. Either way I wouldn’t write out the $200 not being no way home based
THELEGOBATMAN Posted January 7, 2023 Posted January 7, 2023 Is it just me, or has the idea of No Way Home sets become a distant, abstract, amd unobtainable thing? It just feels like something we'll never get at this point, even tho it's likely that we actually will.

THELEGOBATMAN Posted January 7, 2023 Posted January 7, 2023 (edited) I feel like a wave like this would be great: A 20€ set with Spider-Man (Black & Gold) and Electro, with a buildable Sandman. A 40€ set with Iron Spider, Doc Ock (regular arms), and Green Goblin (original suit), with a bridge. A 100€ set with Spider-Man (Integrated), Spider-Man (Tobey), Spider-Man (Andrew), Green Goblin (new suit), Doc Ock (Stark Tech arms), and Lizard, with the Statue of Liberty.

How big would people want this theoretical statue of liberty to be? I watched a YouTube video earlier today where the YTer designed a NWH final battle set based on those giant Harry Potter figures. Replace the second fig with some scaffolding, a stand and a shield and you've got a pretty packed set for under £100 (if they were to price it similarly) . Unrelated, any new thoughts on the Quinjet? I'm planning on selling my Endgame one but I'm wondering if it's worth upgrading.
