And sure, if all you do collect is minifigures, then there’s no point in getting the Quinjet, so long as you’re willing to drop $500 on the Tower.
cosmic Posted May 6, 2024 Posted May 6, 2024 Call me delusional but I am still saddened that the figure scale Quinjet couldn't land on the Tower.... But the set very well may have been worth 1K if they did that.. lol

The landing pad would have to be several times its current size to hold that set (even just from a statical point of view), and you would have to multiply that factor by 2 for the volume if everything still has the same proportions. Twice the area means 4 times the volume. 1k? I think that would be closer to a 5-10k set

Exactly I get he's a mega fan of the theme but still there comes a line. If he comes by here it's gonna give the Batman forum a run for it's money. 7 hours ago, NXS7 said: It was hardly worthless to me, my original Quinjet fell victim to turning slightly yellow over time, so getting a new one was ideal. Plus newer fans who never owned the original can have their own SHIELD Quinjet As for the minifigures, some good things to come about having those duplicates are spares of Caps head and Black Widows arm printing to add to their older figures (or for the arms, any other SHIELD agent), plus multiple Lokis are great for displaying his illusion casting Agreed. It's my favorite Quinjet and sits proudly on my collection. It's a great set and I don't even have the Tower yet. (I'm still trying to save up for it though). Even if it didn't have minifigures, I still think it's a great display piece. Edited May 6, 2024 by calebcold3

That said, I look forward to seeing some professional MOCer create this realistic Tower, with the Met Life building and everything, and show it off at some Lego convention one day. I always thought I’d create it if I had the means, and I’m starting to realize that is a heftier task to take on than I initially anticipated. Delusional indeed, lol.

psqidexslizer Posted May 7, 2024 Posted May 7, 2024 X-Men ‘97 spoilers A promo with the new suits just dropped. Looks like Cyclops, Storm, and Wolverine are going back to their costumes from the 2014 Blackbird, Jean is going to her Marvel Girl look, Rogue to her original costume (but with longer hair), and Jubilee is getting a black onesie with the yellow coat. It’ll be interesting to see if any of these end up in the Mansion. Personally, I’d rather get the costumes they started out with in the show, but I could see us getting that Jubilee just because it’s be easier to reproduce than her ‘90’s outfit.

I'm hoping and rooting for Oscorp. With the Daily Bugle retiring by the end of 2025, it makes sense to have a new Spider-Man D2C out in time to replace it. The Baxter Building seems very unlikely when the FF are an untested property. Avengers Tower and Sanctum Sanctorum were only made after the public responded to these locations and franchises. Lego had faith in those sets but especially with a declining MCU, it makes no sense to develop a set that will probably be $350-500 like the Daily Bugle and Avengers Tower, but without the same guaranteed mass appeal. Also even in terms of minifigs, I can't see how they could justify 25-30 characters. The FF movie seems so isolated from the rest of the MCU and they can't even repeat characters like they did with the other two tower sets. When it comes to Oscorp, I'm really hoping we get a better variety of minifigs than the standard sets are giving us, always focused on Spidey, Miles, and Gwen and usually Goblin or Venom as the villains (occasionally Doc Ock or Carnage). We still deserve comic versions of Lizard and Electro. Hobgoblin, Scorpion, and Kraven should be brought back. Based on the lab setting, Lizard and Electro seem very likely. The Osborn connection makes me think Kingpin could show up and if so, why not Elektra as well. This set is the perfect chance to include Deadpool the way the Daily Bugle was able to skirt around Daredevil, Punisher, and Blade's more mature status. Maybe the Human Torch or even all of the FF would be nice. Iceman could get in as Spidey's other Amazing Friend since it's unlikely he'll show up in X-Men '97 sets. Spider-Woman is a must-have at this point. I'd like to see more of the female spider characters because Spider-Gwen is overused. Besides Jessica Drew, hope we can see Spider-Girl considering that for years, she was Marvel's heroine with the longest solo book, and is also relevant again since a younger version of her appears in Ultimate Spider-Man which is currently outselling Amazing Spider-Man. Mary Jane is a must-have and they better not have a stupid excuse not to use her again this time too. She's long overdue for a new figure and in fact, I hope we get a second figure of her as Spinneret. Peter and MJ's daughter from Renew Your Vows, Spiderling, would be nice too. Also want to see more of Peter's classic supporting cast. We've never gotten a Flash Thompson figure or him as Agent Venom. Norman and Harry Osborn are both a must and Liz Allan is a natural choice with Harry around. A 616 Gwen is also overdue especially with the goblin theme. 2 hours ago, psqidexslizer said: X-Men ‘97 spoilers Hide contents A promo with the new suits just dropped.

Floor 2: boardroom and the non-supervillainous laboratory with a spider in a glass box. Floor 3: Secret laboratory with cloning vats and Goblin transformation chamber. Floor 4: Osborn Penthouse. Figures: (Civilians with re-used parts): Peter Parker, Harry Osborn, Mary Jane Watson, Flash Thompson, Norman Osborn (new face print with a goblin-like second expression), Curt Conners, Miles Warren, Security officer, Oscorp Scientist. (Heroes re-used from sets we've gotten): Morbius, Wolveriene, Venom. (Re-used from 2025 sets): Spider-Man, Scarlet Spider, Spider-Man 2099, Green Goblin, Doctor Octopus, Vulture, Kraven. New: Kaine, Electro, Rhino bigfig, Morlun, Silk. 59 minutes ago, HarryPotter said: Disney is reportedly very satisfied with X-Men 97's performance, so we can only hope that they'll be willing to invest more in X-Men merchandise now, specially Lego 🤞 A real possibility, but not something we'd see in 2025.

I'd love an Oscorp D2C but I don't think it will happen next year. At this point I'm leaning more towards Marvel getting a Helicarrier remake for Age of Ultron's 10th anniversary and DC getting the Daily Planet for the new Superman film. I suspect the Spider-Man sets in the January wave will probably lean heavily into the Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man cartoon that's due to air in November. 2 hours ago, calebcold3 said: PLEASE.

I'd rather Wayne enterprises but yeah Oscorp is probably more likely. I will say I suspect that in terms of D2Cs I suspect that outside of the modulars ( Bugle, Sanctum, Avengers Tower) that DC's D2Cs are probably outselling marvels. So they might want to try a DC modular but probably not yet. Though the reason I expect that DC's D2Cs ( again I don't have any so I'm making baseless assumptions) are outselling Marvel's is because of the 'random sh*t go' approach they've had with the marvel ones, l mean a scale Batmobile, a batcave shadow box and the beautiful Gotham city skyline art set all make more sense than a hulkbuster made worse in order to accommodate a buildable figure that isn't included and was discontinued long before the set, or black panther's firearms and head or the full sized prop shield with it's centre star left unfinished ( in mean in general something with so little detail like the shield is never going to make as interesting a set as something like a Batmobile).

New: Kaine, Electro, Rhino bigfig, Morlun, Silk. From what I've heard about the Daily Bugle set, all the civilian characters that don't really resemble the actual characters is deliberate. Lego wanted to just include random civilians because it was cheaper to reuse parts. Marvel said no, they have to be specific characters. This is why we have a Gwen Stacy who doesn't resemble herself at all, in terms of ponytail or clothes, because it originally wasn't mean to be Gwen. They just labeled a random blonde Gwen. And the instructions mention that she's the alter-ego of Spider-Gwen so it's technically not even 616 Gwen. I was hoping we could get Gwen in her classic trenchcoat, like how she appeared in the Lego Marvel Super Heroes video game. And considering how tied she is with the Green Goblin, it would seem almost an omission to snub her. But I don't mind as long as they don't snub MJ again. I'm really surprised Silk doesn't have a minifigure yet. I've heard she might appear in a female Spider-Verse spinoff movie so maybe we'll get more merch for her around then. She's even got a surprise cameo in the Spider-Man 2 PS5 game suggesting she'll be a playable character in future games, so maybe Lego has held off on her because it's better to save her for those later projects. I'm really glad you included the Osborn penthouse as part of the set. The Osborn penthouse is such an iconic part of the Raimi films (especially since there's no Oscorp tower there) with so many significant scenes. Would love to see that balcony recreated along with the Goblin's hidden lair and armory. Maybe a reversible mirror that shows Norman's reflection. Would be cool to get a remake of his movie outfit as well and maybe even Harry as the New Goblin, although since this is a comic set, that's unlikely. But the helmet from the movie could appear as an easter egg in the lair. I forgot about Curt Connors and Miles Warren. They're both must-haves since they're pictured in the Daily Bugle set. Also bigfig Rhino. Including Miles Warren is actually another reason to include Gwen since she's connected to him too. And I'm glad you brought up Scarlet Spider/Ben Reilly. If they featured Ben in his Spider-Man outfit instead of another Scarlet Spider, I'd be fine with that too. Along with a blonde hairpiece and a duplicate Peter Parker face for him to unmask Ben. Wolverine is also a character I thought could very likely show up now, although I wonder if Lego wouldn't give that spot to Deadpool instead since they wanted him the first time around. And Wolverine can show up in just about any set whereas Deadpool can't. I'm not really a Deadpool fan so he's not that important to me but I know lots of people want him. I'd rather get Wolverine, Iceman, the Human Torch, or Spider-Woman (Jessica Drew) as a team-up character. Finally, Oscorp is a wonderful way to feature so many villains because the majority of them had connections to Norman or were created in freak accidents. Doc Ock is tied to Osborn in the Raimi movies, Ultimate universe, and PS4 game. I can see him getting his own lab section. Venom is also a lab creation in the Ultimate Universe and in the PS5 sequel game where Harry is Venom. Electro worked at Oscorp in ASM2. 5 hours ago, calebcold3 said: PLEASE.

Jubilee was mostly sidelined after the 90s in the comics (as well as other media like the movies and shows). She's really only gotten a revival in the last few years, in terms of comics and media, and there's been speculation that she might be the POV character in new X-Men movies.

I would personally like to see multiple Sentinel sets: A Sentinel mech with Sentinel Minifig, a Surtur-size Sentinel with 1-2 X-Men (80’s Wolvie and Cyclops, maybe?), and a Master Mold/Sentinel 2-in-1 buildable figure. Buildable figures are probably the closest to properly Minifig-scale Sentinels, but they are somewhat impractical to army-build; Surtur-scale is a bit small, but it is better for building up a decent number. Having both available allows us to get a Master Mold at a reasonable size, while still allowing him to be significantly larger than the normal Sentinels. 12 hours ago, calebcold3 said: But more sets would be awesome, for any X-Men media, especially if we got FOX-Men sets from the OG Trilogy.

If you’re really that desperate for those designs, just take a black sharpie and scribble all over the ‘97 designs and that’ll be good enough.
Darth Shadowthrone Posted May 8, 2024 Posted May 8, 2024 Prices have been officially revealed for the UK - they are pretty reasonable except for the Avengers display set imo. Very happy that the Surtur set at £25 is only five pounds more than the battlepack, and a £45 Leviathan is pretty tempting too
poisonbricks Posted May 8, 2024 Posted May 8, 2024 TandN Bricks on Instagram, who is generally very reliable, has posted a few details to his story regarding the X-Mansion • He believes it's a stand-alone model, not a modular • Only 10 figures, no more • The survey leak image was 'super unfinished' and it 'has to change the most' from that • 99% sure the set will be specifically based on '97 (which would again mean the build would be very different to the prelim) Mostly stuff we knew or could guess, but something approaching confirmation is nice. Apparently we'll see the Helicarrier and 4+ Iron Man set in early July, but they're 'nothing to get hyped for'
Mandalorianknight Posted May 9, 2024 Posted May 9, 2024 1 hour ago, poisonbricks said: He believes it's a stand-alone model, not a modular Realistically speaking, all this means is that it doesn't have any connection points to the other modulars, right? Or is this not going to be built on baseplates? The latter would be somewhat annoying- understandable, given it'll probably have a much more rectangular shape, and lego mainly just does square baseplates- but still annoying for those who have the modulars and want to connect the mansion too them. (Though that never made sense to me- the first three buildings work in the way the architecture skyline sets work- they aren't actually right next to eachother in-universe, but they look nice on display anyway. The X-mansion isn't even in the city...)

The sides probably won't be able to sit flush next to anything else, due to things like window frames overhanging, and I'd bet that the baseplate goes a couple of studs off the side. I also wouldn't be surprised if there is some fauna detailing. It'll probably moddable into fitting with the other modulars, but it'll take some work.
wesker Posted May 9, 2024 Posted May 9, 2024 I wasn't expecting the mansion to be a modular building in the first place so that doesn't come as a surprise. Always made more sense for it to be a stand alone model. I'm more interested in knowing whether the final product is going to be fully enclosed like the Home Alone house or open back like Arkham Asylum and Joker Manor. I also wish we would get confirmation already on who the 10 minifigures are. The character line up for the UCS Sail Barge has been revealed so the mansion shouldn't be far behind.
Classic_Spaceman Posted May 9, 2024 Posted May 9, 2024 I just realised that we may have another shot at proper Cyclops legs in the future: Spoiler Cyclops's '80s suit in the show is basically the same colour as his '90s suit, which LEGO has rendered in normal blue (not dark blue); if we get the '80s designs in '97-based sets, then we could get proper legs for both versions (and Morph, if we get them at some point). Also, another set idea: Spoiler The new jet in the latest episode, which looks like the old comics Stratojet!
