I think i missed on the hype of wonder man, but is he getting sets? And does he look a little comic-based? I think wonder man is a great character. What sets can we expect more?

Wonder Man is a new show not due out until a year or two. If we get him, it'll more than likely be in a CMF (unless he shows up in another project).

The director for Shang-Chi and the upcoming sequel is a producer on the show, so another option is he may show up in Shang-Chi 2 sets.

 

Does anybody know why Spider-Man 3 (the Raimi film) didn't get any Lego sets when the first two movies did? I saw that Mega Bloks made sets for Spider-Man 3 so did Lego's license expire?

Ironically, you've more or less answered your own question. Mega Bloks picked up the license. I don't know if we know the reason Lego lost it- I assume the sets for the first two films did well- but your general guess is correct.

That's what I figured but I just wanted to make sure since I also assumed the sets for the first two movies probably sold well enough. 

It's a pity the Fox movies never got any sets back then whether the X-Men films, Fantastic Four, Daredevil, and Elektra.

I just realised that none of the 2HY sets are scheduled for June  I was expecting two waves as usual, but nope  Well, the reveal will take a while then since Marvel is usually among the themes to get pretty late reveals

Are they June for Europe and August for America? Ive lost track but I believe some themes are doing that.

I thought so too, but I looked it up on brickmerge and they‘re all scheduled for August

Yeah, tis unfortunately why we might not see them till a bit later this year. It damages the hype cycle a lot sadly. We could still see something as there's supposedly some of the 4+ sets scheduled for earlier release if I remember correctly along with a Brickheadz and perhaps some of the August sets going up for early pre-order?

Probably gonna be about a month from now that we see them then--IIRC, that's when most of last year's Marvel wave leaked.

More X-Men '97 spoilers on what we could see in S2 sets

Reveal hidden contents

Wolverine will be getting his brown and tan costume as his new look. This along with Storm getting her original black and gold costume with tiara means that we could see the previous Wolverine and Storm minifigs from the first X-Jet set redone come S2. Hopefully Wolverine will still get dual molded legs and arm printing.

 

Looks like HD quality images of those Captain America McDonalds toys leaked a couple days ago, but I don’t see anyone talking about it, so it may be fake.

I hope Falcon gets a new helmet mold. I like the orange visor and white stripe.

I'm warning you guys, if we don't get the pictures of the August wave before June then I guarantee this forum will meet the same fate as the DC one (Insanity not even doctors could understand)

I was at mcdonalds today and they had them on display for some reason. Why are these coming out now? Isn't the film next year?

Honestly if Deadpool and Wolverine is a success (You never know in these days when the CBM genre as a whole is in decline BUT I personally hope and think D&W will have Guardians 3/NWH reception and Guardians 3 BO numbers), I would love to see some sets based on the older FOX Marvel movies since we've never gotten any. 

But best case scenario for those sets realistically are probably going to be construction figures of Wolverine and Magneto from the OG trilogy

We’re safe here. The criminal mastermind behind jonkling up the DC thread strongly believes in Batman supremacy and won’t even touch this thread. The madness is contained

I suspect they couldn’t delay them, unlike LEGO? Maybe they can’t do it logistically

Let's hope he never gets interested in Marvel or we're all doomed.

71818 Tournament Battle Arena seems to have some blood-red claw pieces, wondering if we'll get a re-use for Carnage sometime.

When the film was pushed back it was likely too late to delay, places like McDonalds may produce this far in advance because it's packaged in meals that young individuals might try and devour so they can't really afford to just sit on the product for nearly a year.

I'd love for them to revisit the Sony films and the Fox films. A revamped Doc Ock's Hideout would be my dream set. Still surprised no Sentinel for the X-Men sets, maybe that'll be in 2025.

New X-Men ‘97 trailer just released. I don’t want to spoil anything about the show, but there might be hope for those of us who didn’t find a certain minifigure’s design all that attractive.

I can see that, along with a black recolour for Venom.

I hope so. Those new pieces look like a massive upgrade over the ones they've been previously using for Venom and Carnage.

Looks like a few of the characters will be getting makeovers. I noticed Jubilee has her modern uniform in the trailer and judging by how torn up Wolverine's costume looks I wouldn't be surprised if he gets a redesign by the end of the season as well.

I don't think we'll see many of these costume changes reflected in the X-Mansion set but it does bode well for more minifigure variants in future waves.

Is there a reason why MJ was excluded from the Daily Bugle set? It's so jarring to exclude the second most popular character from the franchise, after Peter/Spidey himself, from a comic book Spider-Man set.

And if anyone's wondering why I keep asking Spider-Man questions, that's because I've been watching the theatrical re-releases so they're on my mind. We really need a new MJ figure.

I seem to recall it having something to do with either Lego or Disney not wanting Mary Jane and Michelle Jones appearing in merchandise at the same time.

That's a horrible reason but doesn't surprise me. I also wouldn't put it past Marvel because they've been trying to sideline Mary Jane ever since they erased her marriage to Peter. I wouldn't even be shocked if the reason that Peter's love interest in the MCU has zero in common with Mary Jane, besides the initials, is so a new generation of fans doesn't grow up thinking of Peter and Mary Jane as a couple.

If there is another D2C Spider-Man set, like Oscorp, I hope they make up for it by giving us at least two MJs since the Daily Bugle had no problem giving us two Gwens. Besides the classic MJ (and I'd love to see her get a new hairpiece designed after her original Romita look), it would be nice to also get Spinneret, the version of MJ married to Peter in Renew Your Vows who becomes a super heroine.

I do remember reading that the designers wanted to include Deadpool, Iceman, Human Torch, and Spider-Woman (Jessica Drew) in the Daily Bugle. The former three should be safe to include now that the Fox ban is over. No idea why Marvel refused on Jessica Drew but she's another character they're weird about. Despite being the premiere Marvel heroine of the 70s and 2000s, they've been sidelining her ever since Spider-Gwen became a thing. That SDCC minifigure is way too expensive and she deserves a new one that is readily available in sets.

While they have definitely been repeatedly character assassinating Mary Jane since Peter's deal with the devil, I think it's probably a more blanket "we want our thing to be the one getting merchandise". Same reason X-men and fantastic four stuff was heavily discouraged after the MCU picked up.
