The primary suit missing is the MK4 suit, it only appeared in Iron Man 2.

Tony-Starks-Iron-Legion-Armors-In-Iron-M

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:

Very helpful! Thank you!

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.

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 :sing:
I did get an extra Helen Cho head and hair, though :laugh:

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

Sorry to hear that, hope you get the replacement soon! 

I had a broken piece on the Bowie and it's been about 8 months since I requested and still haven't had it.

76328 is a DC set, Brickmerge says.

If that is the case, that's a bit unfortunate. I'm hesitant to write it off yet though until we know for sure what it is.

Chances are it got lost in the mail, request it again and explain the situation.

It's also possible that given we got a Black Panther D2C due to the popularity of the first film, we might get a Captain Marvel D2C due to the popularity of the first film

I'm pretty sure the Black Panther bust had more to do with the actor's death, not that anyone at TLG would say so out loud. 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).

Whoah, eight months? :oh3: That's terrible...
I hope mine arrive soon as well, and yours too! Good luck.

Dude we get like 2 DC sets a year and they're just increasingly expensive batmobiles with man and jonkler, let us have this.

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.

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.

It's actually strange, we have more than 30 films but few truly iconic elements that could make a great set

Because the most iconic elements of Marvel are the characters themselves, rather than buildings, vehicles, or gadgets :laugh:

When I requested it, it said it was out of stock. 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!

You're right, sorry, I forgot that, for example, Star Wars has anonymous and insignificant characters and all the success of the franchise is due to the vehicles and settings

I didn't say or imply that :tongue: EVERYTHING in SW is iconic, from characters, to vehicles, to locations, to weapons, to random background characters, to hairstyles even, and insignificant props. 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 :shrug_oh_well: I mean, they're very quickly running out of iconic buildings for instance

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.

I think they have enough to last till probably around 2032, based on the idea of us getting an iconic building set each year.

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.

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.

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' :blush: 

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 :wub: 
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 :sweet:

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.

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.

Hm, yeah, I guess that's true. 

Also, regarding your Sentinel theory; that makes sense too :classic:

I was able to snag a NIB one for $50 and concur this is a nice little set.
