We already have. It looks... just as you'd expect—plain black legs, generic red torso, Superman's hairpiece, and a pretty cool faceprint with sunglasses and a moustache.

I had started loving LEGO Marvel again then I saw these sets... The only one I really like it the one from Spiderverse but gosh this price... Bucky and IM from the civil war set feels like so much downgrade from what we had before

cap and IM from sign set are really cool but I'm not gonna pay 100 bucks for marvel written with lego

The Marvel set is of course weird, but there must be a need for sets like this, otherwise they won’t make them i guess. But if they make a set like this, why don’t they make it spectacular? Why don’t they use the original comic Avengers or use Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, Ditko, Byrne, Jim Lee and John Buscema OG marvel people for instance

Anyway i love the set with the Spot. And although small, i’ll be happy to build something bigger out of that deli. It only needs a Ms Chen in it.

Crazy how Two Face got more love than Bucky lol

When Jeremy Renner drove his snowplough to rescue his nephew from that snowdrift, did he run over a Lego designer's dog on the way or something?! Hawkeye's absence from the Marvel logo is baffling (and that's saying a lot, given the set's many glaring issues).

Looking at how lazy and cheap the figures in this wave (and past ones) are I doubt they'd be able to fit a bunch of new figures like that in their $8 budget.

Also got Gwen's hair

I really don't like this display/playset thing they has been doing for some time. too many parts go into building ground levels, terrain, etc and they end up with weirdly small quinjet...

Remember when they "forgot" the 10th year anniversary of Marvel? Well someone remembered as employees were given a 10 year anniversary Iron Man according to usual place on reddit.

Hands up if you already had a purist julia carpenter spider woman using a venom body and a cat woman face

anti-venom looks good btw

oh they forgot that they are using rubber capes now. thor in the sign set has a fabric one

 

[Lego Nostalgia]

And I thought Star Wars was cutting corners, my god, this is terrible, how come we didn't hear the excuse of ''budget'' years ago, sickens me how careless Lego has gotten

Lego is known to not be consistent 

[mrcngrck]

they are pretty consistent in disappointing us with marvel waves

I have to say I'm lowkey pretty jealous of the Marvel team in that regard. Imagine having that same level of confidence that allows you to just put out bad products that are seen by people all over the world on a regular basis and yet not give a damn. Having to work with a limited budget is something that I, while I definitely don't like or justify it, at least have some level of respect for as that's something the designers themselves have no control over but basing characters on outfits from completely different movies is some truly next level incompetence.

Thoughts on the Spider-Verse overall haven’t changed. Gwen using the Pepper Potts face and a simple short ponytail piece is disappointing, though. I feel like I’ve been on a drastic decline of anticipation since the original rumor of this set.

 

Hope those figures in that Marvel logo make their way into other sets. I would especially love Red Skull’s car from CA: TFA.

 

Anti-Venom looks good. Not stellar like Ultron, but I like it nonetheless.

 

Bucky feels insulting, especially with the lack of arm detail. Hair is just wrong, face doesn’t look any good. Cap still uses an AoU suit in a Civil War set. Iron Man Mk. 46 is the only standout. I might skip this set entirely and track down the set from 2016.

I predict Lego will go bankrupt again if they keep making garbage sets with high prices, then those will be discounted, greed is their downfall, is it just me or did Lego feel less corporate years ago

Yes, but the lego fanbase is also more expandend i think. New adult fans that are in it for the big sets. I think they make more money now than they did years ago.

The problem is that nothing will change no matter how loudly the fans complain. The average consumer neither notices nor cares about all these cheap decisions and inaccuracies and will just buy the sets anyway. Our only hope is that alternative companies like FunWhole (man they need to change that name) manage to dig out and expand their little corner of the market so LEGO has to think twice about what they release and at what price. It absolutely pains me to be positive about alternative brands for once but right now they are absolutely a necessary evil to get LEGO to care again.

I bought a marvel logo that lights up, and one to hold books, the lego one is a welcome addition to the collection, and the minifigure selection is awesome! With WW2 and Mark 6 awaited for so many years!!! Finally the room with the first 7 armors will have all the updated models :-D Civil War overall I like it, but I agree that the minifigures should have received more love. The new Iron Man makes me turn a blind eye to this though. Spider-verse is nice, I'm not a fan of the movies but I'm always excited for new characters. The minifigures in the mechs are amazing, not much to say. And venom ok, it's a tax we have to pay... overall a nice wave

[mrcngrck]

I don't get what they trying to achieve with this line. these are to expensive to be playsets but also too poor and inaccurate to be collector items. like they are trying both at the same time and fail miserably

I feel like the 10 year anniversary of the Marvel license is one of those that's maybe more notable internally than it is to fans, since unlike Lego Star Wars (which has a clear, unambiguous start date) the Marvel one is slightly more ambiguous—technically the earliest Marvel-related sets would be the Spider-Man sets in 2003, but of course those were licensed from Sony and the broader Marvel Super Heroes license debuted much later.

Anyway I like the look of the new sets, even though I mostly don't collect licensed themes. The Marvel logo is a well-done, moderately sized display piece that makes good use of some newer slope pieces, and I like the pop-up function that makes it slightly more dynamic and playable than just a static display. It's cool to finally be getting a Spider-Verse set, and I'm looking forward to the rumored CMF series which has plenty of material to adapt. The airport battle set isn't my cup of tea, though (I prefer a "big minifig" approach to size-changing minifig characters like Ant-Man, even though I appreciate action figure type builds in isolation).

yeah, there has been always that one or two minifigs that are cool but it's hard to justify paying that kind of money for that one reason. idk just make more cheep sets or try do better LEGO. it cannot be how it is now.

I don't see how companies like FunWhole, which are just cheap imitations of LEGO, could affect the market in any way.
