I don't have time right now to rant fully about the name, but lego is either using AI for their set names now or choosing the most ai-friendly names possible. It's not a name any more it's just a description of the set- this is almost as bad as the new batmobile's name.

I think that it is less likely that’s LEGO is using AI to generate names, and more likely that they are just trying to cram as many search keywords into the names as possible (so that when parents Google “LEGO Iron Man”, this set appears).

"Iron Man, Bike & Hulk vs Brick Wall" has got to be the most random set since "Iron Man vs Hobo on Lawnmower (76008)". Like, if they want to have two "hero" minifigs and no antagonist, maybe have it be a jungle gym/obstacle course, or maybe some kind of target practice dummies like 30523. Or, maybe a hot dog stand. Just something other than... A blank wall.

Sounds to me like we're becoming the DC thread

Completely agree at how zero effort the latest set names are.  It's either AI generated or SEO over-optimised - but either way it's creatively bankrupt.

This is what I just can't understand about Marvel sets lately, the relative lack of villains compared to years past.

Kids LIKE having bad guys to play with. Especially for a theme like this where good guy / bad guy conflict is like the whole point.

Even if it was a random brick built robot, no additional figure required, I'm sure kids would enjoy this set more. 

[THELEGOBATMAN]

It's even more painful when you get reminded that once upon a time Super Heroes sets had awesome names like Gorilla Grodd goes Bananas or The Goat Boat.

Now the latter would just be named Thor with the Goats and a Boat and Mighty Thor and King Valkyrie and Korg vs. Gorr.

This is completely unrelated to Marvel but maybe it is but is there gonna be 2025 leaks soon ? Brickclicker posted something about 2025 with a vault

If it is, probably just numbers and prices. We usually don’t get set names until later on.

I mean, set prices can hint towards what a set is sometimes, like if it's 110$ then it could be one of those final battle dioramas like the No Way Home,Endgame or Age Of Ultron Forest one

Maybe not names, but hopefully branding. Unless I'm misremembering, I think it was this time last year that we first learned of sets based on No Way Home, Cap 4, etc.

My hope is that we find if and how many sets there'll be for Thunderbolts, Spider-Man, Fantastic Four, etc.

Sure, but a $110 set could also not be one of those. It could be a vehicle, or a giant Buildable item, a building facade, etc. And even if it is a movie diorama, there’s 20-30 movies out there with multiple scenes that could be turned into dioramas so it doesn’t narrow it down much at all.

Okay so maybe the name is kind of dumb but I love this set. I really wanted this Iron Man the first time he popped up but I hated the set he came in. That had to be the ugliest hulk buster we’ve ever gotten and we already had comic accurate Thanos in his mech. Being able to skip the ugly Hulk mech and the ugly Hulk Buster set and getting the best figures from both sets for just $15 is such a steal. Who cares if there’s no antagonists, 2 amazing figures and a decent build for $15 is a catch for me.

If you didn’t skip out on the Hulkbuster and Hulk mech, you may not understand. But for people like me who missed out on both figures because the sets they came in were ugly, this relatively appealing build with both figs is exciting. The name is dumb but I’m not keeping the box anyways, so this is cool to me.

Is the mini-scale Helicarrier the last Marvel set (not counting The X-Mansion of course) that is left to be revealed for this year? 

If so, that was fast. I wonder when we will hear about 2025 leaks since it was August last year when we first heard about this year's winter wave. 

Anyways, I'm bored and here's what I expect (plus some wants) for 2025 tbh: 

• 2 Mechs
• 1 Comic Spider-Man set 
• 2 Thunderbolts* sets
• 3 Construction figures
• 1 helmet/mask (Miles Morales maybe?)
• 3 MCU Fantastic Four movie sets
• 1 X-Men '97 set (a Sentinel build similar to Surtur?)
• X-Men '97 Advent calendar
• D2C Helicarrier 
• 7 Infinity Saga Sets (One of the sets being Civil War based)

Can't believe I made a 2025 set prediction list for the whole next year but hey I was bored

Oh. I figured that would've came out in January 2025, but it's nice to hear we should get a reveal before December obviously. 

I'm not super excited for Brave New World, but here's hoping the set at least looks worth something.

I feel bad for Anthony Mackie. He was a great falcon and I feel he would do well as captain america (though I thought the TFATWS writing for him was pretty weak... especially that end speech. It feels like someone remembered last-minute that Cap gives great speeches and just made something up on the spot for him to say), but man, I have no faith in this movie. The random assortment of Hulk elements, the fact that they've chosen the controversial concept of "captain america fights the sitting US president" which is way beyond MCU writing's current ability to pull off, the fact that it's probably one of the most extensively reshot marvel films for a "solo" film at this point- allegedly due to test scores, the amount of delay after the start of filming- I just don't think this is going to work. 

 

My main want from the marvel line right now is Oscorp, so I'm crossing my fingers the january wave has a solid number of spider-man sets with new figures, because otherwise I don't think we're getting it unless the fig count is drastically lower than the bugle.

I'm looking forward to the film and set. I thought the speech was alright; it just drags on a little longer than normal. And the first round of reshoots only just started a couple weeks ago. It hasn't been "extensively" reshot. I'm hopeful that with D23 in a couple months, we'll see a first look at the film, and I hope the set gets revealed sometime soon.

When do sets in December usually get revealed? Early or late Fall? Sooner?

I feel like people aren't giving the Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man series enough credit. This show is giving us multiple Spider-Man suits, Daredevil, classic Dr. Strange, classic Doc Ock, Scorpion, Chameleon, and more. I'm looking forward to Brick Clicker's next video because I'm hoping to hear of any news (if any) regarding sets for this show.

Aw, really?
I thought the speech was quite good. I thought it showed how Captain America wasn't all about superstrength and his shield and how that's why Sam is also worthy of being Cap. 
Sure, the words 'do better' are a bit... lame, but the speech in general and its message  

I'm still excited for the film and hope LEGO makes a good set for it

Mitch

The series devotes a scene to exploring the idea that Sam's family has financial difficulty and they are helped through the notion of community coming together. This should have been reflected in the solution to the displacement caused by the snap/blip, Sam becoming a figurehead of bringing communities and people together. Sadly we did not get that.

Oscorp in the comics is just a skyscraper with Oscorp on it, so that might be a factor as to why they'd choose something else as a basis. It'd be neat in the idea that you could have rooms devoted to Otto Octavius, Norman Osborn's lab, perhaps the Spider room from TASM or some offices though.

I believe so, 2025 should hopefully be more packed given film tie-in sets. Still waiting to see the midi-scale Helicarrier, but seeing the other midi-scale sets has me a bit nervous for how it'll look.

That's another thing- it feels a lot more aimed at that random senator and the government in general than at the people, who cap's speeches are normally for. I'm not asking for Sam to deliver the speech from Winter Soldier every time he shows up, but I need more than the "do better" speech.

I mean.... so is the Bugle, isn't it? Oscorp arguably has more to work with design-wise as you can throw some more sci-fi esque architecture onto it, sleeker angles, black coloration, even some tinted green windows around the penthouse if they want.

'Do better' is one of my main gripes, because it sort of just exemplifies the speech in general for me. It feels like something some random guy would say if he confronted a politician he didn't like, not like a captain america speech.  The message also just seems to be "hey government, you should help people", which again, just comes off more like Sam lecturing some jerkwad politician than the inspiring speeches Cap is usually giving out.

Just a thought, but hear me out. Steve comes from a time where the people were thought to be the government, whereas Sam lives in a time where the politicians are thought to be the government. Thus, both are changing to change government policies, but address different aspects. I think Steve’s line of thinking is more correct, but I’ll be interested to see how Sam’s dynamic develops in CA:BNW. To be fair, the speech is still dumb, but nonetheless intriguing.

Meanwhile, I’m cautiously optimistic about BNW. Kevin compared it to TWS, and that alone gives me hope. The only thing that could  hold BNW back is a lack of the emotion that TWS has. Regardless, we’ll get Old Man Han Red-Hulking out and I really enjoy Anthony Mackie, so those two aspects alone should hopefully redeem the movie, right? (“We’ll get Kang the Conqueror and I really enjoy Paul Rudd, so nothing can wrong!”)

 

For sets in 2025, bring forth Galactus! At the very least, though, I expect Fantastic Four set or two and a Thunderbolts* set as well. I also hope for Civil War, AoU, and RagnaThork sets. An X-Men ‘97 set, similar to the Surtur set with a Sentinel, Gambit, Wolverine, and Jean Grey instead, would be appreciated, That Doc Ock construction figure is a genius idea, @Scarilian, I would really love that. Maybe we can even finally get AtSV-inspired sets?

[Buckethead]

Spoiler

Some new rumors for Fantastic Four and X-Men came out.

Fantastic Four may feature other villains besides Galactus for small roles in the first act. Some suspected characters include Mole Man, Red Ghost, and maybe more. I feel like Fantastic Four should get at least two sets. Cramming the four in one big set with Galactus and Silver Surfer (if we get them) will be much, and I hope to get alternate versions of the characters (Johnny's flame on form, translucent Sue, etc.), so hopefully we'll get some other characters besides the four plus Silver Surfer.

The new X-Men reboot is rumored to feature most, if not all, of the characters from the '97 series. Not the same versions, of course, just that we'll get a similar roster. This would suggest that the lineup we get in the X-Mansion set will roughly be the lineup for the MCU film. 

Set possibilities based off some new rumors floating around.

Regardless whether we get Oscorp or not I just want something new out of the Spider-Man sets. I'm getting pretty bored of the same recycled characters and throwaway builds in all the comic themed sets. Outside of that one Morbius minifigure there hasn't been anything worth buying since the Daily Bugle came out. Hopefully next year's range will take some inspiration from the Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man cartoon.

I'll be disappointed if one small set is all we get out of X-Men next year. At the very least the characters should also have some presence in the next CMF series. Nightcrawler and Jubilee are essential to the team and it would be nice to get Sinister and Bastion before Season 2 rolls around.

As a long term Marvel collector I also hope next year won't be too heavily focused on the Infinity Saga. There's only so many times they can keep recycling the same material. At this stage the only sets I really want out of Age of Ultron are an updated Quinjet and Final Battle diorama. As long as they include Ultron, Quicksilver, AOU Scarlet Witch and a non-phasing Vision I'm happy to leave it at that.

Revisiting Civil War doesn't excite me in the slightest because I can't see it bringing much new to the table. We already have a giant Ant-Man set still on shelves and most of the character variants aren't all that exciting. The only draw for me there would be getting a regular sized Ant-Man minifigure to go alongside the Wasp that came in Avengers Tower.

Don't have much interest in Thunderbolts beyond US Agent and Red Guardian potentially getting minifigures but I am looking forward to the Fantastic Four. Even if the film turns out to be a flop I'll still be happy just to have sets for them.

I have a theory 76283 is an Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man set, which is why we haven't heard anything about 76283 really.

Hm, yeah, I suppose I hadn't thought that far, back then. 
To be honest, I don't exactly remember the speech, just that I thought it was decent, but I stand corrected  
Let's hope that will be much better in BNW.

Was there any knowledge on the Cap 4 set, btw?
