X-Mansion is not one of them because it doesn’t make sense to connect it to other buildings and would make more sense as a stand-alone building like Rivendell. Rather than just skyscrapers, a classic Avengers Mansion from the comics, with comic inspired minifigs similar to the Daily Bugle could be a lot of fun. There are lots of skypscrapers in more modern Marvel, but X-Mansion and Avengers Mansion both would fit in a lot lower. Avengers Mansion appears more urban anyway, and a could fit in nicely with some fencing in a modular city?
THELEGOBATMAN Posted August 26, 2023 Posted August 26, 2023 If they reuse even a single character from the CMF for the Jet, this set is gonna be even a bigger disappointment than it seems to be right now.

Prepare to be disappointed then, because there is no way they don‘t include at least one of them in that set I mean, how likely is an X-Men set without Wolverine?
wesker Posted August 26, 2023 Posted August 26, 2023 Hopefully any reused minifigures will be limited strictly to the X-Mansion. I do wish we could get some confirmation from leakers already as to which characters are actually included in the X-Jet so we can put all this speculation to rest.

Well I'm already disappointed, because that piece count is absolutely atrocious. Now, if the minifigures were amazing, the set would have a redeeming quality. If they're not, then it will be one of the most disappointing LEGO Marvel sets ever imo (which I'm prepared for). Even if the minifigures are good, there's no universe in which I buy a 360-piece set for 85€.

The only way I can imagine them repeating one from the CMF is if they're wearing a different costume, which I haven't seen any merchandise or evidence of. But then again, no one knew about Captain Carter's stealth suit when the Hydra Stomper was announced.
BrickBob Studpants Posted August 26, 2023 Posted August 26, 2023 Not sure how reliable mtdbricks is, but they claim that the $10 Spidey set includes Electro (the female version) and the $20 set features Arnim Zola Weird context for the first Zola figure, but I’ll take it Of course this somewhat increases the likelihood for the Thing to show up in the largest set

Lego once again letting us down.

As you say it's quite a weird link so we'll see how it pans out. My first reaction (if it is true) is that it will be a junior version, but looking at the previous figures in the Sahaf theme have been pretty good so fingers crossed its a decent fig! Though looking at the ig picture it might be something buildable rather than a fig. Edited August 27, 2023 by squiz18

I just want them to complete the main cast for the 97 series. I know including the rest of the main cast is highly unlikely, but give us at least three or four. Jean Grey, Gambit, Rogue, Jubilee or Cyclops.
Legocentrico Posted August 27, 2023 Posted August 27, 2023 (edited) wow, so many details for the march sets and not even a name for january x-jet :-D ps. iron man comics in the encyclopedia, iron man comics 4+ and now iron man cartoons… i want the missing MCU versions, lego!!! :-D Edited August 27, 2023 by Legocentrico
PsychoBuilder Posted August 27, 2023 Posted August 27, 2023 (edited) Anyone have a clue what Lego Minecraft Goat just put up? Is it like a Wolverine car? Edited August 27, 2023 by Brickroll
Lego_Minecraft_Goat Posted August 27, 2023 Posted August 27, 2023 An unexpected GWP for the Avengers Tower.
BrickBob Studpants Posted August 27, 2023 Posted August 27, 2023 Looks decent, but it's incredibly hard to make out the minifigs. Looks like two outriders and a character in a grey shirt?
Lego_Minecraft_Goat Posted August 27, 2023 Posted August 27, 2023 2 Outriders, Black Panther, and a likely unnamed civilian.
squiz18 Posted August 27, 2023 Posted August 27, 2023 (edited) Nice to get an unexpected gwp. Can't work out what's going on though. Racking my brains for when outriders were in a scene with a yellow car but can't come up with anything 4 figures in a gwp is great though. Especially compared to the Hoopty Edited August 27, 2023 by squiz18
PGBQW Posted August 27, 2023 Posted August 27, 2023 If I had to guess, I'd say it's a reference to that one scene in Black Panther where he jumps on a car, but they made a yellow one to have a more colorful set. The outriders would be there just for the sake of being there.

Breaking news: The Avengers Tower has been cancelled, and will now be replaced with a brick-built Venomized Outrider statue! Also, the price has gone up to $550. (This is a joke, please don’t get any ideas, LEGO).
squiz18 Posted August 27, 2023 Posted August 27, 2023 That gwp could make buying the tower on day 1 very tempting. Double vip points and probably 3 gwp's for the black Friday weekend.

All three minifigs from the CMF are repeated - there is only one new minifig and this will end up being repeated in a future set! LOL That can possibly happen. Then it's instant death of the Lego X-men line. Sad. Edited August 27, 2023 by hikouki

This is an absolutely horrible figure choice. We're getting 4 minifigures, and it's 2 outriders, a character who never went to the avengers tower, and.... the random civilian is actually my favorite of them if true. I get that we can't have a ton of new prints, but why not do two chitauri, Captain America, and the waitress he saves?

I would honestly have preferred a wolverine car given the figure count.
