hikouki Posted January 26, 2024 Posted January 26, 2024 16 hours ago, Scarilian said: The primary suit missing is the MK4 suit, it only appeared in Iron Man 2. We'd already had the Silver Centurion figure, but we're missing three suits he wore in Iron Man 3's final battle: 'MK16 - Nightclub', 'MK40 - Shotgun' and 'MK15 - Sneaky'. I'd say you could make an arguement for certain suits that are directly named by Tony during the final battle such as 'MK 35 - Red Snapper' As such I would expect the MK4, MK15, MK16, MK35 and the MK40 to be the suits that Lego will aim to release in the near future as they were all either worn or directly named by Tony Stark in the films. A potential 'Iron Man 3 Final Battle' set would be an easy way to give us the MK15, MK16, MK35 and MK40. While the MK4 was only used up to the mansion fight with Rhodey in the MK2. A Malibu Mansion set, Armory set or polybag seems the most likely way to release the MK4 as they'd probably want to avoid directly adapting the drunken fight. Missing suits (Total 26)MK4, MK8, MK9, MK10, MK11, MK12, MK13, MK14, MK15, MK16, MK18, MK19, MK20, MK21, MK23, MK24, MK26, MK27, MK28, MK29, MK31, MK32, MK34, MK35, MK36, MK40 I've listed some that were 'clearly inspired' along with the full list of suits we've had as I doubt Lego would revisit those suits that they've already released a reasonable likeness to: Iron Man MK1 Iron Man MK2 Iron Man MK3 Iron Man MK5 Iron Man MK6 Iron Man MK7 Iron Man MK17 Iron Man MK22 (Kinda, not exact) Iron Man MK25 Iron Man MK30 (Kinda, not exact) Iron Man MK33 Iron Man MK37 (Kinda, not exact) Iron Man MK38 Iron Man MK39 (Kinda, not exact) Iron Man MK41 Iron Man MK42 Iron Man MK43 Iron Man MK44 Iron Man MK45 Iron Man MK46 Iron Man MK47 Iron Man MK48 Iron Man MK49 (Rescue) Iron Man MK50 Iron Man MK85 Very helpful! Thank you!
Lego Nostalgia Posted January 26, 2024 Posted January 26, 2024 76283 on Brickmerge says it will be out sometime in 2024 (I'm hoping it's Deadpool 3 related) 76328 is a DC set, Brickmerge says.

cosmic Posted January 27, 2024 Posted January 27, 2024 (edited) According to Lego_bam on Instagram, the tousled hair piece in white is set to appear in BAM settings soon. Namely, for a girl clown figure. Previously this piece was only available in the Ghostbusters Firehouse set for the library ghost. Luckily that ghost has an alternate hair piece so many people, as I intended, may have used the spare tousled hair for Storm. I believe this may have been available on PAB during the time the GB Firehouse was being produced. If this piece is indeed returning, that would be stellar. I need this hair for my OG Storm figure but also for my spare CMF fig, where I intend to display 1 CMF figure as is and the other without the shoulder pads and with the tousled hair instead (to be accurate to the 90's cartoon). In general I find that quite a few nice BAM figures have been released in the past few years and I should probably take advantage of that. But yeah the return of this piece is great for X-Men fans. Edit: I believe it's piece 20595 on Bricklink. Edited January 27, 2024 by cosmic
CF Mitch Posted January 27, 2024 Posted January 27, 2024 Aaaaggh! Yesterday I finally got around to start building Avengers Tower, continued this morning and now I'm at bag nine, where it turns out one of the smaller bags inside with tiny parts is missing from the set. Now I have to wait till the replacement parts arrive I did get an extra Helen Cho head and hair, though I guess it was bound to happen at some point, since this is the first time ever for me. Did you guys have any similar situations with Avengers Tower? Regards, Mitch

And anyway - given that their gamble with the bust (based off one very popular film followed by a much less successful sequel) clearly hasn't paid off, I very much doubt they'd do it again. Especially for Captain Marvel, since The Marvels seems to set new records for the least-grossing MCU movie, though admittedly that's with the MCU as a whole in full downward swing. That's not to say there won't be large D2Cs based off older, high-grossing movies. But I'd expect them only for movies with a bankable main character (in Marvel, basically Iron Man or Spiderman or, just maybe, the Guardians as a group). Edited January 28, 2024 by brickbride

Yeah there's been enough time since the black panther bust that I don't think they're gonna make a gamble like that again. Especially when the marvels was underperforming compared to Morbius in some places. The big D2Cs have to be based on the most iconic characters, and- let's not forget the hulbuster didn't really fly off the shelves either- LOOK GOOD, and likely also have a number of figures.
doclord Posted January 28, 2024 Posted January 28, 2024 After the BP/Hulkbuster fiasco we will probably only get one Marvel D2C a year. LEGO one knows that Batman D2Cs sells better and he has more "things" that can be built at that scale.
Legocentrico Posted January 28, 2024 Posted January 28, 2024 It's actually strange, we have more than 30 films but few truly iconic elements that could make a great set

I've just checked again now and it says the same. Weird thing is the part is in the Avengers Tower so clearly still in production. I'll chase them up. I've been a bit slow as you can't see it on the ship on display so I'm not too fussed. It's more the principle!

Marvel however has to mostly rely on its characters. This is not to say Marvel has nothing iconic other than its characters either, but they've already done most of the really well-known stuff I mean, they're very quickly running out of iconic buildings for instance
ToaDraco Posted January 29, 2024 Posted January 29, 2024 I recently got the new X-Jet for $22 without the minifigs(I have the original X-Men sets with the far superior figures and the recent cmf X-men)and I absolutely love it. It might be one of my favorite Marvel sets in recent years. It captures the contours and sleakness of the plane so well and the new part usage is fantastic, plus the interior looks quite nice and is plenty spacious. It really tickles my nostalgia for the 2000 X-Men movie blackbird toy. I played with that thing so much as a kid, with it's lights and sounds and the weird chunky light up missiles and extendable claw. Good times. The only thing I felt needed to be fixed on the new set was to add a pair of 1x8 dark blue tiles to the exposed studs at the back. It's baffling that LEGO couldn't spend the extra fraction of a cent to add those to the model to make it more sleak and elegant, especially considering the astronomically absurd price they're charging for this set. It's really a shame how the price completely overshadows the set itself because it's really quite nice, especially when you compare it side by side with the original and, I thought that thing was ugly and chunky back when it released.

Movies: Tony Stark's Malibu Mansion Asgard/Rainbow Bridge Wakanda/Panther Statue Avengers Facility Comics: Oscorp Fantastic Four Baxter Building Fisk Tower/Nelson & Murdock's Law Offices/Alias Investigation The Raft Though the movies and comics do have other buildings that lack adaptation, I feel this are the main ones with a chance of adaptation in the forseeable future. I have listed some that appeared in the 'movies' as 'comics' because it'd be more suited to a comic-inspired set enabling freedom of figure selection where otherwise you'd be severely limited on characters you could include. 21 hours ago, Mandalorianknight said: Dude we get like 2 DC sets a year and they're just increasingly expensive batmobiles with man and jonkler, let us have this. That's partially why I find it disappointing. I don't see much originality with the DC sets and I'm expecting another primarily black/gray build of probably another Batman themed aspect. Perhaps they could do the Hall of Justice, but it'd probably need as many pieces as the National History Museum if that were the case. A comic/animated inspired Daily Planet would be a must-buy for me but it's also not gonna happen for that piece count. 19 hours ago, squiz18 said: I'll chase them up. I've been a bit slow as you can't see it on the ship on display so I'm not too fussed. Yeah, that's a bit weird. I've only ever had to order one replacement piece and mine arrived within two weeks, but that was for a fairly standard piece.

I would also add the Triskelion for the MCU and Avengers Mansion for the comics. Just sayin' Waiting for my missing parts from the Avengers Tower to arrive, I started building the X-Jet today. What a great little set. I'm still so thrilled to finally have an Animated Series Cyclops and -with a little modding- he looks superb Rogue looks great too, but the yellow on her torso is noticeably darker than that on her hips, legs and gloves which is quite a shame. Hopefully we'll get the remaining X-Men in future sets (maybe with additional/improved Sentinels), some day soon Regards, Mitch

Just sayin' Triskelion I'd lean more to it being released as a smaller build in scale with the Mid-Scale Helicarrier as a sorta microscale (?) build/display. I'm not sure on its own if it'd sell particularly well. I think the design is alright, but I'm not sure it has anything internal that would work for adaptation beyond generic offices, open lobby, that sorta thing. Avengers Mansion could definitely work for comics, primarily as a way to flood us with comic versions of the Avengers, though I'm hesitant because I think Lego would'nt want to release it so close to X-Men Mansion as the builds would no doubt draw comparisons. 17 minutes ago, CF Mitch said: Hopefully we'll get the remaining X-Men in future sets (maybe with additional/improved Sentinels), some day soon They've chosen to tease the Sentinel in the CMF and by its exclusion from the X-Jet I'd lean to it being saved for a later set. Maybe a Danger Room playset or GWP for X-Men Mansion. I'd definitely expect to see the Sentinel this year or next though as the exclusion is notable. Edited January 29, 2024 by Scarilian

AndrewCole14 Posted January 29, 2024 Posted January 29, 2024 The midi-scale Star Wars sets are fantastic, can’t wait for the Helicarrier.
