Hopefully they at least make sense for the characters (like the War Machine mech), and that we get some cool new characters and/or variants (maybe some X-Men? Brown Wolverine, perhaps?). A Cable mech would actually go hard (bulky mechanical left arm, ridiculously oversized gun, brickbuilt pouches everywhere, etc!), though it is a less likely possibility.

In seriousness, I assume that one of these will be the CA:CW set (probably airport battle).

PsychoBuilder Posted July 9, 2024 Posted July 9, 2024 Minisuperheroes today received the whole August wave today, so I have to imagine we’ll start seeing reviews pretty soon. Dunno how much we’ll find out from this, but I’m at least looking forward to seeing the Milano and the Benatar together.

If we can't get either comic Spider Mechs (SP//dr or Leopardon) highly doubtful we'd see any legitimate Venom variants either So I hear your actual comic variant that would make for a cool figure, and raise you...

Venom car A Venom car could actually be interesting if they lean fully into the concept and give the car a face with a giant mouth and tongue, lots of tendrils, etc; just a regular car in black and white (which is more likely, given how plain the Venom mechs are) would be boring. 5 hours ago, Agent Kallus said: Gwenom maybe?

Gwenom would actually be a cool and new Minifig/character, and not a reuse of the same ‘figs that we have been getting for a while, so that is obviously off the table!

Groundbreaking news (watch me still be wrong about this) @Agent Kallus, there another Venom thing you'd like to see? Something of an equestrian nature? Equestrian? Like a (Venom) Horse? A Venomised (Venom) Horse, Venom Horse? No that's absurd . Ah who am I kidding, I love absurd . But if Venom 3 isn't gonna be him fighting and then joining forces with Spider-Man ( Preferably Garfield as that would've made the most sense) then I suppose Venom Horse is the only way to go. The ONLY way!! But the Morbster was included in a set post Morbing so it's possible we'll get some more symbiotes post Venom 3. Of course a Lego Venom horse would make my month ( my year should hopefully be made in celebration Japan) but TLG are probably too cowardly to embrace our new god (Venom Horse).
BrickBob Studpants Posted July 10, 2024 Posted July 10, 2024 We’ve had a venom T-Rex before, so a venomised horse wouldn’t be too far-fetched
BrickBob Studpants Posted July 10, 2024 Posted July 10, 2024 According to exabricks, there’s indeed a CA:CW airport battle set coming, priced at $100

As such, I can see the airport battle having a similar breakdown: New Iron Man Mk. 46, New Cap (torso print), Wanda (Endgame battle reuse), Spider-Man (Sanctum reuse), Falcon (Avengers Tower reuse), Vision (reuse, but with new legs and cape), New Bucky (torso print, reused tactical legs), New Hawkeye (torso print, reused legs), New Black Widow (new torso, reused legs), Black Panther (possibly reused from Shuri’s lab, despite the set being retired); I can see War Machine and Ant-Man being skipped, as they need at least three new prints each (helmet, torso, legs). Ten Minifigs seems a bit optimistic, given that the AoU battle set included three of the same Minifig, but a Bigfig is probably worth 2-3 regular Minifigs, and characters like Clint and Nat can be made with only a single new print each. Additionally, we could get repeats of some of the characters (along with any missing ones) in an expansion set later in the year. AoU battle new element total: 10 (counting Iron Man and the HYDRA soldier) CA:CW airport battle hypothetical new element total: 11

Sounds like a perfect set in the making, so I’ll lower my expectations, lol. But it’ll be a guaranteed purchase anyway they strike it. In the worst case scenario, we still get a new Mark 46 and Bucky.
JohnTPT17 Posted July 10, 2024 Posted July 10, 2024 1 hour ago, Classic_Spaceman said: I can see... Ant-Man being skipped I think it's more likely that he gets the buildable figure treatment again. Him growing big is pretty iconic to the scene and adds a lot of playability. At the very least, they could throw in a microfigure without breaking the budget. A regular minifig is more likely to be passed, though.
thebricksbear Posted July 10, 2024 Posted July 10, 2024 Curious if the Airport set appeals to anyone who's been in the theme long enough to have the old sets? The August wave is tough for me to justify (though I'm tempted to get the new Hulk and a second leviathan after the Tower set.) I'll be surprised if the new Civil War set is better than the old one with the Antman buildable fig, and curious whether anyone with existing figs from that movie really want a new one.

I have the old airport battle set and yeah I don't really care about the new one, if they spiced it up with DC characters based on the hit show 'Young Justice' then that'd be another story. In fact what if rather than an airport battle it was a martian bioship? Now that would something! But keeping things *Ahem* marvelous, since this set is bound to include a big ant-man, I'd like a set with a big Sentinel. X-Men sets should hopefully exist beyond just the overpriced jet and the mansion.

A regular minifig is more likely to be passed, though. Maybe he could be the centrepiece of the build, with crates, some flames, and a broken airplane wing surrounding him? I can also see the new curved clear stand piece being attached to his back (like Surtur) for Spidey’s ESB move.
