Ancora non credo che ci sia mai stato un caso in cui un personaggio è sulla scatola e Lego non ne fa un fico.

Chiamami ottimista, ma sento che ci può ancora essere un altro set con Cassie, Kang e MODOK

It's just the promotional art of the movie.  There are no other sets, just as we won't have the other 2012 avengers, we won't have the lizard and captain america with the bike won't have the stealth suit.  When you think about lego you pick options, from worst to best: the worst will always be the closest to reality

There isn't. 

Also, notice how the box art doesn't include minifigure versions of the characters? They always do that — minifigs on the front, live-action on the back.

Why do you keep on acting like you know this for a fact, there are still 3 sets we know nothing about, and their is definitely the potential for a store exclusive set we just haven't heard anything about.

Tbh that’s just generally a 2023 thing. None of the 2023 sets have the minifig renditions on their boxes. 

I just think there’s hope because we’ve never seen a character on a box who does not eventually get released as a fig

Per @Scarilian these are the unidentified sets for the year, and as much as I'm hopeful I don't see it happening. There's always the possibility some of these are What If/Xmen, and some are likely to be Spiderman sets as well IMO. 

• 76263: ? (4+, 66 pcs)
• 76266: $99.99 (10+,794pcs)
• 76222: (Likely DC due to delays)
• 76246:
• 76250: $69.99 (18+, Helmet?)
• 76252:

Fantasizing for a minute, it'd be cool to see a MODOK mini build (a la Miek) that uses the new bigfig head!

Ohhh I've never thought of that but that’s GENIUS

Can't wait to see the 4000 piece, £500 Giant Man set that the buildable Ant Man fits inside.

Perché continui ad agire come se lo sapessi per un dato di fatto, ci sono ancora 3 set di cui non sappiamo nulla, ed è sicuramente il potenziale per un set esclusivo del negozio di cui non abbiamo sentito parlare.

I'm telling you: a helmet, a 4+ and the chris evans butt statue :-D

Not a fan of buildable characters in general though at least with Antman, the Giant Man makes sense (though Id prefer the HP style big brick built version).

I don't see why they couldn't have increased the cost of this set by 10 (other than allowed budget) and thrown in some minifigs and kang with his flame buggy for Giant man to squash. Wasted opportunity to me!

That reminds me, why haven't we heard about the 10 year anniversary D2C Mandarin buggy yet? If we can get Luke's speeder, we can get this. GET THE PETITIONS READY!!

Say what you want about that set, but back then it was a great way to get Iron Man cheaply. Not to mention it came with one of the best looking (and exclusive) Iron Man figures to this day, at least imo.

Because it's the only logical conclusion.

LEGO has only twice made additional sets for MCU movies (without counting The Infinity Saga line, as that's a whole other thing) — Civil War (when Spider-Man was revealed much later in the marketing process), and No Way Home (when Sony decided not to reveal Garfield and Maguire until the movie premiered).

For Quantumania, we've seen everything. They haven't even tried to hide any elements. The second trailer is basically a two-minute summary of the whole movie.

My point is, if LEGO wanted to make sets for this, they would've. Nothing stopped them. They knew about Kang, M.O.D.O.K., and everything else. They just chose not to. Which means that we won't get more sets, however much you want to see them.

[Buckethead]

I wouldn't get my hopes up for another Quantumania set. It's possible, but I wouldn't stress over it.

I agree that another set is a pipe dream, but this was literally the scenario for the Wanda fig in Multiverse of Madness, which is why everybody's latching onto Cassie on the box. I'll point out that Cassie being on the box is a decision Lego's artists decided on, despite it being promo art and not minifig art, but that doesn't mean a set is coming.

[ToaDraco]

It looks good for what it is and works for  Giant Man, especially with the Wasp microfig attached to it, but I cannot believe that this is the only set we're apparently getting based on this film. A film that features Antman, Wasp, Stature, Kang, MODOK and more, with tons of set and minifig potential... 

Maybe we’ll get another set in the future but that seems really unlikey considering the past 2 Antman films only got 1 set each.

Well but Cassie isn't a minifigure on the box, which completely disproves that point.

[Legocentrico]

Ant Man is probably a closed discussion, but it's still mid-February, there might still be some surprises out there.  I'm very curious to hear what Promobricks has to say…

[BrickBob Studpants]

The Ant-man set has been added to s@h. Hopefully we‘re going to see official pics of the GotG sets soon too!  Definitely the most exciting Marvel sets this year apart from the NWH set

I agree, Heartbreaker was my favourite Iron Man figure before Silver Centurion. I'd love to see them both updated with the new helmet (probably an unpopular opinion). Even if SC got an update that wasn't as good as it's predecessor, I could at least swap the helmet

Not to continue the minifigure-on-box debate, but the Wanda figure on the Gargantos box wasn't the one from the Sanctum. It was the CMF one, which "proved" to people (like me) that LEGO wouldn't be making a new figure of her. And yet we got one anyway! I don't expect a second Quantumania set since only Civil War, Endgame, and now NWH have gotten after-the-fact spoiler sets that primarily centered on hidden characters, and Quantumania doesn't seem to have any spoiler characters in the movie. 

I do like the build more than I expected, although I was already a fan of these buildable figures to begin with. The Wasp nanofig looks great but I agree it should've been a new mold with wings that LEGO could repurpose as a fairy in other themes. It looks like all the decorations on the build are printed too, which is also nice to see!

I honestly think this would be a perfect set for the movie if it included minifigures. I don't even need a new Ant-Man. If we got Wasp, Cassie, and Kang with his Time Chair or MODOK as a side build for $15 more I don't think there'd be so many complaints. It's just baffling that LEGO wouldn't throw a few figures in here.

The reason it doesn't is that there's no standard of what can or can't be on the boxes, literally only what we assume. Lego doesn't HAVE to do minifig designs on the box to legitimize it. Many of the Infinity Saga sets have Thanos on the box. Neither Antman or the Wasp are even on this one.

Lego fans love pattern recognition, but the biggest fallacy I see in this thread over and over: because Lego has done X in the past means that Y is/isn't happening because it's there. They're a business and can deviate from their own models at any point, ie. Black Panther bust, Daily Bugle D2C, and even this Antman buildable fig instead of a minifig set.

 

Again, none of this is grounds for holding out for another set, but the question we should be asking is, "If I'm the marketing department, am I putting a character on the box that isn't available for purchase?"

Facts. Toy boxes are a form of advertisement for the products. Lego could have just edited Cassie out and included only Ant-Man and Wasp. Including Cassie was a conscious decision.

My belief is still that minifig rendition or not, Lego won't just print a character on a box and be like “just kidding, we’re not actually making them”. Just doesn’t make any sense to me.

any guesses as to when we will see the guardians set?

I'd say early–mid March.

Hard to say if it will leak. A lot of LEGO sets have been leaking recently, even tho they've been doing such a good job recently at keeping the leaks at bay.
