benderisgreat Posted May 10, 2023 Posted May 10, 2023 (edited) If we return to topic of missing characters since High Evolutionary is missing in other companies toy lines as well, I think it's more understandable why Lego didn't even make him(although still disappointing). When it comes to Gamora there's no logical reason here, she was heavily featured in marketing and important character to the story. Someone will inevitably bring budget as reason, but only Adam Warlock has entirely new figure in the wave. All guardians share same torso and leg prints among them, so Lego must have saved money on their design here, as opposed to making 5 entirely new figures to represent each member. I hope I'm wrong but it looks like they just didn't care enough to make Gamora here. Edited May 10, 2023 by benderisgreat

Other toy companies also didn't make Gamora for Vol. 3... kind of interesting why everyone decided to skip the same characters. What IS disappointing, on Lego's part, is not making Cosmo and Kraglin, since everyone else made them...
mgetz Posted May 10, 2023 Posted May 10, 2023 What are the odds the cap figure in the Captain America Shield set (assuming there will be one like thor in the thors hammer set) will be the same one in the Avengers Tower set
Legocentrico Posted May 10, 2023 Posted May 10, 2023 21 minuti fa, mgetz ha detto: Quali sono le probabilità che la figura del berretto nel set Captain America Shield (supponendo che ce ne sarà uno come thor nel set di martelli thors) sarà la stessa nel set della Torre dei Vendicatori If we take Thor's hammer as an example it could be one of the missing versions: ww2 or stealth. Best move to sell a stupid $200 shield :-D (then in 2024, when we have bought the shield, it will lose its exclusivity)

Legocentrico Posted May 10, 2023 Posted May 10, 2023 I bet on ww2. even if it makes me sad because i would have preferred one or two sets based on the first avenger

Nylock Posted May 10, 2023 Posted May 10, 2023 I think the shield is gonna include an exclusive Cap. Whether it’s first avenger cap or WS cap, I’ll be bricklinking it as soon as it’s available. It’s kinda insulting that we still haven’t received a single set based off WS. I recognize that there isn’t exactly a lot of cool scenery or an iconic location, but they could still do a small one like the boat fight. Especially given its popularity even with kids. But as @Legocentrico said, I’d want a First avenger set(s). It’s a great movie with lots to pull from. Plus I want a FA Cap just as much as I want a WS cap. Does anyone remember getting the original 2012 Cap set and seeing the First Avenger Cap in the instruction manual? I was convinced that we’d be getting him after seeing that. Hopefully that dream will be fulfilled
hvader Posted May 11, 2023 Posted May 11, 2023 Imagine if it's Winter Soldier Cap.... I'd be mad and happy at the same time
Legocentrico Posted May 13, 2023 Posted May 13, 2023 What a silence… This year is so sad that even fake-leakers are demotivated… the only one who was still writing nonsense about the Tower blocked me :-/ do you think we will see at least one new mold before cmf? Some funkos show Electro with the energy mask, and in fact it's the only song that comes to mind (unless a Lizard comes out somewhere ..)

In terms of new molds are main chances are: Electro's Mask &/or new web pieces, for the NWH set in August Thanos & potentially Thanos' helmet for 76266 if it's based on the Avengers Endgame Final Battle as rumored Granted we don't know if those aspects will necessarily be included, but those are the primary sets to keep an eye on regarding new molds. As for general lack of info, I think at this point because we know most the names and most the sets are movie-based on under higher levels of secrecy due to being D2C's that we'll probably not get as many leaks for a little while. I also think, at least for this year, that what would normally be a June wave has been pushed to August so that could also explain the lack of leak, all the good stuff is later in the year so less likely to be visually leaked at this time.

I think they are both unreliable
Surge Posted May 14, 2023 Posted May 14, 2023 i dont understand why we did not get both kraglin and cosmo, both fairly prominent in the other toy lines from what ive seen this might be a spoiler so flagging it just in case Spoiler had the idea for a sanctuary 2 style knowhere with those two, then maybe even high evolutionarys ship with him, either two separate sets or both in one
hvader Posted May 14, 2023 Posted May 14, 2023 Spoiler The filmmakers of Across the Spiderverse recently revealed that Lego Spider-Man is in the movie, so the fact that we got no Lego merchandise with the film is even more bizarre now… Spiderverse spoilers above
steveholt Posted May 14, 2023 Posted May 14, 2023 getting no Cosmo was probably the biggest disappointment from this series
Nylock Posted May 14, 2023 Posted May 14, 2023 The superhero theme has been so disappointing this year. In terms of play-sets we got the lackluster guardians sets which omitted so much, a unknown cap marvel set, a dual bike, an overwhelming amount of mechs + construction figures, and (after nearly 2 years) a NWH set. The only ones (that we’ve seen) that I believe are good are the quinjet and hulk buster. I’m glad we’re getting the cmf at least this year but on the whole these sets do not seem exciting like they used to. Wish we could return to the hype of Final Battle set. 3 hours ago, hvader said: Reveal hidden contents The filmmakers of Across the Spiderverse recently revealed that Lego Spider-Man is in the movie, so the fact that we got no Lego merchandise with the film is even more bizarre now… Spiderverse spoilers above Given how popular Spider-Man is (especially in terms of lego), its insane that they don’t produce a full wave on the spider verse. There’s more than enough material to make lots of sets and minifigs. Genuinely wonder if there’s something that prevents Lego from merchandising the Sony stuff. We know the mcu spider-man merchandising falls under the Disney umbrella so maybe lego doesn’t have an agreement with Sony.
Mandalorianknight Posted May 14, 2023 Posted May 14, 2023 After I heard a spoiler about guardians three: namely, that Spoiler none of the guardians die , I was concerned. After seeing it, it might be the best MCU movie. That said, the only set I'd want is the Bowie, but I don't believe the Bowie was done justice whatsoever, or that it really can be at a $100 price point. The film really gets across how massive this thing is.
brickbride Posted May 15, 2023 Posted May 15, 2023 (edited) Second that: The movie is awesome and the larger sets don''t do it justice. I think the smallest is the best in terms of value for money (and I sorta want that GotG sticker after watching the movie :-)). Also, the cinema I went to showed the trailers for both The Marvels and The Flash. I hadn't seen either before. And while I cannot even remember the last DC movie I liked, plus there's the Ezra controversy, plus I could not even stand the Flash when he guest-starred on Arrow, plus I like Captain Marvel a lot and I loved her movie - I still have to say that the trailer made me not wamt to watch The Marvels, and that The Flash looks a million times better. Which makes me sad. Edited May 15, 2023 by brickbride

Hopefully that dream will be fulfilled Another Helicarrier but designed after Project Insight would be a good choice, since people would buy 3 Helicarriers
thebricksbear Posted May 15, 2023 Posted May 15, 2023 If I had to redesign the Guardians sets: $15 set- Small Knowhere Build, Star Lord, Cosmo, Kraglin $30 set- Small Arete Labs build, Star Lord, Groot, High Evolutionary, baby Rocket $100 set- Bowie with Rocket, Gamora, Drax, Mantis, Nebula, Adam Warlock Because we're talking about it, I loved the movie. Definitely not the best of the three or anywhere near the best of the MCU, but it was a great closer to this trilogy and I'm super stoked to see the projects that come out of it.
Agent Kallus Posted May 15, 2023 Posted May 15, 2023 Since, as we know, the Endgame set rumour is bogus, could that set not be spider verse or Guardians 3? ( I'd like legacy sets from the first 2 films at some point as well) or no way home lizard set? Or literally anything? (Maybe it's even DC?)
