Wait, what's even the point of an armory if there are no additional armors to display?

To introduce a third design for the armory so the last two will become obsolete and you’ll have to buy multiple sets to redo your existing armory.

The point is to add more halls of armor to the armory, the suits are just an add on

No you're thinking of the Hall of 'Halls of armour'

Maybe one day we’ll have enough to build a mech out of all the modules, an Armour of Halls (of Armour)

The mech should be able to transform from an ordinary mech into a modular building styled Hall of Armour.

Or, in English, the Armour of Halls (of Armour) is also a modular house mech of modules housing mechs.

Well, that's not great news. A Rescue figure to me would've added like $10 value at least, without her the only real draw is Iron Patriot, because I really can't see the Igor build being particularly competent. Killian might be cool, I'd love to have a figure that looks more like him, but if he's not got any cool Extremis details he might just end up looking like some random guy.

Still holding onto hope that maybe Rescue is in the Endgame portals set and there was just a miscommunication haha

Regardless, they better not change the armory cell design again, and they better include as many as they can possibly budget for. The last set was an abysmal value.

Yea, the Killian fig from IM3 is pretty awful lol. It's weird how lego randomly decides to give figs white skin.

 

Personally this sounds like a definite skip for me, given I lived the original Hall of Armor sets, and since then they've remodeled the containers and the suit helmets. A new Igor sounds cool, but I worked hard to get mine down to minifig scale and I'd bet this one is gonna be even bigger than the original.

I suppose it really depends on whether Rescue and IP are in the set and look good.

Exabricks amended his minifig list for the Hall of Armours. He confirms Killian ()

Did he say what Killian will look like? I would personally prefer the Extremis + dragon tattoos design from the end of the final battle, since his other outfits are fairly generic and relatively easy to cobble together (the original torso also holds up pretty well).

I really hope that it’s Black Suit Spiderman in the Mech. Why else would they use Anti-venom instead of venom or carnage.

As for my thoughts on the Modular next year. IMO it will either be Arkham or Malibu Mansion.

I highly doubt it would be the Daily Planet or Oscorp. As both could impact the sales of the Daily Bugle.

The sales of the Daily Bugle shouldn't even be a factor. The earliest we can realistically expect the next modular to release is the second half of 2025 and by that point the Bugle will already be winding down its production run. If Lego decides to keep November as the release date for all superhero modulars going forward you'll be lucky to even find the Bugle still in stock.

Marvel sets we need - DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE SPOILERS

Spoiler

 

1. Wade's birthday party - similar to New Asgard/Bro Thor set, should include a lot of minifigs, Wade, Colossus, Negasonic, Yukio, Vanessa, Blind Al and Peter

2. DP&W ending scene diorama - might be harder to execute since minifigs don't have horizontal arm movement, but should include Deadpool, shirtless Wolverine, Cassandra Nova and Paradox

Obviously the R-rated stuff isn’t something Lego would compromise on, but you just know the Lego Superheroes team would’ve watched Deadpool and Wolverine and lamented at how good the set (or at least minifigure) potential was. I’d love to see that live action yellow suit for Wolverine in minifigure form at least at some point.

The R-rating is a cheap excuse and pathetic copout in which Lego already has a solution, they can just spam 18+ Adults Welcome branding all over it.

Hopefully LEGO's greed and desire to maximize profits surpasses their silly self-imposed restrictions.

@LegendaryArticuno When did Sesame Street, Disney's Winnie the Pooh, or Flowers become adults-only, Rated R material? 18+ is just a marketing thing... nothing about it is actually for mature audiences. It's simple gimmick, plain and simple, so Deadpool is NOT happening. Not now, not anytime soon, and probably not ever.

 

We'll get Deadpool when LEGO releases sets from WWII, or a minifig-scale torture chamber. This will, of course, happen two days after the end of time.

Why does this keep getting brought up? The 18+ branding is only a marketing strategy, not an age restriction. Nobody would take it seriously as such, considering that the Winnie the Pooh and Sesame Street Ideas sets also have an 18+ branding  They would not be able to hide behind that.

Edit: Ninja’d!

Boo, well maybe we'll get a comic version of Deadpool then similar to Dare Devil.

At it's core DP&W is a movie about family and friendship, it forced the "R-Rating" with some jokes about cocaine and a bit of gore, otherwise it's family friendly as it gets.

Everything about this rumored armory is an easy pass for me. Hoping we get a D2C Malibu Mansion with a decked out interior to put an end to all Hall of Armors by giving us not just the armory, but the very building its inside of. 

Also I feel the Portals set should have came with Giant Man, Iron Patriot, Rocket Raccoon and Hulk in his End Game black and red suit. That scene where Giant Man bursts out of the broken head quarters felt so iconic and would love to recreate it. I know this may be harsh but besides the Helicopter with Rescue and the Iron Gauntlet, all the End Game sets Lego has done have been kind of terrible. To me, anyways.

And finally, no I have not yet watched Across the Spiderverse, and I do understand that her inclusion is likely very reasonable, but good lord I am so over the Spider Gwen presence in Lego. Like? I would have killed to have another SpiderMan Noir, or finally getting Jessica Drew in a mainline set. It would be awesome to see Gwen Pool, even. It's not so much that I don't think she should be in this set, on the contrary I feel her presence makes lots of sense. But the choice to constantly include her over Spideys other supporting cast is tiring. I want to see Gwen Stacy, Mary Jane Watson, Flash Thompson (not as Anti Venom just as himself), Eddy Brock, or Eddy Brock mid transformation into the Venom. Feels like we get the same cast of Spidey characters every year, and besides the villains this year seems to be the same. Sure Anti Venom and the Spot are new, but the side characters are as repetitive as ever.

And finally I really wish they had the hair piece used for Dr Grace Augustine available for sale on pick a brick or build a mini figure. In my opinion, works better for 2012 Black Widow than the piece we have. Wish it would pop up again.

I agree with you, I'm sick of seeing Spider-Gwen and Miles in every set. I'd like to see Peter Parker's actual friends like the ones you listed as well as Harry Osborn, Liz Allan, etc. We've never gotten a minifigure of 616 Gwen Stacy (the Daily Bugle minifig is just a generic blonde character they named Gwen last minute) and we haven't had a proper MJ in forever.

Well, I mean Miles and Gwen are basically the main characters of these films, ofcourse they're gonna be included. And thank God for that, we've waited years to finally get a set for these movies, these are some long overdue variants. I just kinda hope Gwen will be unmasked, or alternatively have some printing on the hood.

That... doesn't change anything.

It's a still a movie with an f-bomb every minute, blood being splattered on screen all the time, and countless sex and drug jokes.

LEGO won't touch it with a ten-foot pole, and for good reason. If they cross this boundary once, people will flood them with various requests of sets based on even less family-friendly properties.

And don’t forget that VERY graphic death scene (iykyk). It‘s played for laughs of course, but gruesome nonetheless

Funny how we keep circling back to this discussion. It’s simple, TLG are a toy company with a family-friendly reputation, so they won’t touch anything rated R, M, or TV-MA (and before anyone brings up Echo, that was an accident). They will not risk their reputation and brand image just to make a quick buck with tie-in products to a successful R-rated film.

I do enjoy several properties rated as 15s or 18s. Take Baldur's gate 3 for example, it's a game I've fallen in love with but I can fully understand Lego not wanting to touch, I can respect it. As much as I'd find sets based of BG3 or Skyrim(though Skyrim is barely an 18, it's wasn't before special edition) or the Fallout show or the Witcher or House of dragon (and so on), it's a line I don't really want them to cross.

Despite wasting more set slots strange display pieces, Lego is not an adult product. It's for everyone*, kids are main audience for some (most)  sets, adults for others but really it's all universal. 

For deadpool in particular his films would be quite low down on the list of untouched properties I'd like TLG to cover. I mean I guess having the og set with Wade in means I'm less desperate for him. But he's not one of my favourite characters anyway so I'm not desperate for them to remake him.

Word are the deepest thing that exist. Language is the backbone of most communication, the foundation of poetry, the building blocks of fiction and the substance of thought. Of course there are other way such things exist i.e thinking visually or communicating with sign language and so on. But the importance of language, of words cannot be understated. Words end wars, words incite riots, words can save your life, words can get you killed.

Telling the doctor what is wrong with you WORDS, reading path of deceit by Tessa Grafton WORDS, looking at the ballot paper before you tick your vote WORDS, me typing this with all it's inevitable typos WORDS, checking the menu before ordering the same cod and chips I do 50% of the time WORDS, The praising of gods WORDS, the application for a new job WORDS, your exams and dissertations WORDS. et infinitum 

Words regardless of language have been pivotal for civilisation itself! Society itself would not exist as we know it! Invention needs the sharing of ideas and there few methods more succinct than words.

Now after typing and reading it so much the word word looks to be an odd looking word in and of itself.

*- obviously when I say everyone I do t include tiny babies who'd choke on it because of thier baby instincts to be incredibly stupid.

Deadpool is most likely going to be in Avengers Doomsday and Secret Wars, I'm pretty sure Lego will make him then since he's in a PG-13 movie, he'll also be in future MCU movies too I bet, once he's in a PG-13 movie, Lego will make him, He can be toned down and still work if written well
