It‘s probably something like SSCU, but they should absolutely call it the SSUC because that‘s exactly what it did No chance in hell those ever get sets, but ASM stands a decent chance too! Definitely lower on the probability scale than the Raimi Trilogy and Spider-verse, but still. Also, funny how we may end up with three very different superhero movie subthemes me and many others have advocated for ages, all in the same year (the third one being the rumoured Schumacher Batman set(s)) Edited January 13 by BrickBob Studpants Quote

I've never held the elastic arms and may not understand how they work, but yes there is a normal length arm. It almost looks like a normal length arm can be place on/removed from the long piece and put right onto the body? Quote

Ah, I'm afraid that's nothing new, it's just what the end of the part looks like, with two thicker stoppers that look more like proper straight arms. Quote

Interesting... does the long piece go through the whole body? So essentially you have two arms of one determined length? Quote

It‘s not possible to remove it from the torso though as the cuffs at the ends are moulded into the piece. Quote

THELEGOBATMAN Posted January 13 Posted January 13 If most of the sets are based on Sony's Spider-Man movies, it perfectly makes sense why most of them are in the 200–400 piece range. You can't really make a lot of bigger sets for those movies, because most scenes (especially the fights with the villains) have only 2–3 characters, including Spider-Man and the main villain. (Unless they'd include generic civilians, which they won't, or side characters, which LEGO is usually allergic to.) The only bigger sets I could imagine are the Goblin's first public appearance (with MJ and Harry), and the Spider-Man 3 final fight (with MJ, Harry, and JJJ). Still, that's 4–5 minifigures at most. Quote
oxy220 Posted January 13 Posted January 13 (edited) I dare say that the 3 summer sets will be based on Spider-Man, because: 1) They have the same price – $50. 2) Approximately the same number of pieces – 380-390. 3) Rumors about Sony Spider-Man. Don't get me wrong, I'm just guessing, but this kind of coincidence makes you think. Edited January 13 by oxy220 Quote

I really hope we get a regular Reed fig though :( Quote

This one you could get 6 figs out of if you play a bit loose with it- Spidey, Venom, Harry Goblin, Sandman, MJ, JJJ. But like you say lego's allergic to side characters, so it'd probably just be the main four, maybe MJ, and then be $110. Edited January 13 by Mandalorianknight Quote

It‘s not possible to remove it from the torso though as the cuffs at the ends are moulded into the piece. You can remove the long rubber arm, provided you have a pair of scissors, but the result is sadly irreversible. Also, the torso piece isn’t exactly the same as the regular piece used by regular minifigures, so the arms don’t snap nicely into place and will pop out without much effort. Quote
Scarilian Posted January 13 Posted January 13 (edited) Probably going too overboard with Spider-man speculation as I doubt we'll get a full wave of Spider-man-related stuff, but could see the following: $19.99 - Green Goblin Attack: Green Goblin (Mask & Glider), Spider-man, Mary Jane Watson $34.99 - Spider-man Dinosaur set (Featuring T-Rex Spider-man) $49.99 - The Prowler's apartment - Prowler, Miles Morales, Rio Morales, Peter B.Parker $49.99 - Doc Ock Train Battle: Doc Ock, Spider-man, Train Driver, J.J.Jameson - Train build $49.99 - Venom Villain Showdown: Venom, Spider-man, New Goblin - Brick-built Sandman $119.99 - Age Of Ultron: Final Battle: Ultimate Ultron, Vision (Repeat), Scarlet Witch (Repeat), Quicksilver, Hulk (Repeat), Thor (Repeat), Iron Man (Repeat), Ultron Drone $129.99 - Spider-Society HQ: Spider-man 2099, Miles Morales (Repeat), Hobie Brown, Pavitr Prabhakar, Peter B.Parker (Repeat), Mayday Parker, Spider-Gwen (Repeat), etc... 5 hours ago, THELEGOBATMAN said: You can't really make a lot of bigger sets for those movies If you did 'inspired by' sets you could probably throw in more characters if needed, but I feel the locations would work for interesting builds.

Having two versions of Spider-man for a 'transformation' feature swapping between the two. Sandman can be included in his regular form piloting a mech-version of himself to help vary it from the constraction figure in the NWH set (Similar to the rumored Endgame Giant-Man mech). You could even include regular versions of Peter Parker and Eddie Brock if you needed to add to the figure count and story opportunities. Edited January 13 by Scarilian Quote

Picking on you for no reason despite the valuable service you provide, but I think the amount of civilians and civilian locations you have in this list really cements why I don't think they'll do many large sets for the pre-MCU spidey films. Almost half your figure slots there are going to civilians. Kids are not as interested in civilians as heroes and villains, I don't think lego would go for sets that limit the amount of heroes and villains you can have that much. A diorama might be able to get away with it, but that's about it. (And even then, all the diorama style sets they've done for marvel are full of costumed characters). And then most of the builds are generic civilian city builds. I do think the construction site would work, because Sandman can be a significant chunk of the build and you can have 4 heroes/villains in the one set, but we've seen that lego's pretty averse to giving us generic city backgrounds rather than "Wolverine's Car and Helicopter" (Side note: How do we not have a wolvmobile yet? I feel like it's an obvious choice). When they have done them, they tend to fill them up with a solid number of heroes and villains- most of the spider-man movies can have 2-3 costumed characters max. I think the most we get in terms of pre-MCU spider man sets bigger than, say, $37.99 or so is the SM3 construction fight (because you can have up to 4 costumed characters) and a diorama of the SM2 train scene (because we know it's coming, my guess as to why is that it's THE superhero movie scene. It's the massively popular, constantly parodied exception to the rule.) 1 hour ago, Agent Kallus said: SP/DR would be a hope for a Sony movie set. ITSV Sp//dr would be nice for a battle pack style set's build, the ATSV (Post Peni's truly disturbing Canon Event) or comic sp//dr could be a nice larger sized set. Also, give me Rivals Sp//dr in a battle pack. I won't repost the wave I made in the wishlist thread, but Sp//dr and her nest with some gold webs and spider-bots is the perfect size for a battle pack build. Throw in Rivals Iron Man, Luna Snow, and Moon Knight or something. (Then make a ton of other rivals sets so we can get everyone). Edited January 13 by Mandalorianknight Quote
HadesKing28 Posted January 13 Posted January 13 (edited) Hint towards the next marvel modular on instagram - emojis of the Statue of Liberty, a skyline and a scientist Seems like a weird combination, but the scientist is definitely making me lean towards Oscorp Edited January 13 by HadesKing28 Quote

I wouldn't put any stock into it unless a reliable source corroborates. Another reason to not put stock into it is the fact that it would technically fit the two most requested and guessed modulars, the Baxter Building and Oscorp. Really a nothingburger of a "leak" Quote
LemonFlavouredBleach Posted January 13 Posted January 13 If its either oscorp or baxter building, thats amazing . Hope that it is Oscorp Quote

Brick Reporter being involved is the important part - he is consistently an unreliable source of information. And yeah, the emojis are about as vague as possible for Marvel. If A-Tower hadn't been released, people could just as reasonably claim that the scientist was Stark and it must be that set too. I.E. the emojis literally mean nothing. Quote
psqidexslizer Posted January 14 Posted January 14 (edited) I’d be surprised if both Marvel and DC got big building sets this year, but guess I could be wrong on that. Maybe Arkham will be more in line with Rivendell than the modular buildings? Also surprised they would go with Oscorp over the Baxter Building, but I’m not complaining. I really hope 1) it’s comic based and 2) we get some new villains (Kingpin, comic Electro, and comic Lizard are the three I’d be most interested in). Assuming, of course, there’s any truth to these rumors. Edit: TBH, the three emojis (statue of liberty, skyscraper, and scientist) could mean the Baxter Building just as much as they could mean Oscorp. Edited January 14 by psqidexslizer Quote

If the FF set was comic based that might be a bit of a lead-in, but it's not and no way we get an MCU modular before they can judge how well the movie did.), as-is aside from spider man and venom always being on shelves, oscorp could re-use, what, anti-venom and spider-girl? The bugle had a much larger selection of re-uses to go off of. Edited January 14 by Mandalorianknight Quote
THELEGOBATMAN Posted January 14 Posted January 14 (edited) I really hope we get a full set list soon, because this Summer sounds pretty exciting for LEGO Marvel. If there's a Spider-Man set extravaganza, I will definitely go bankrupt though (especially if they are based on Spider-Verse movies). Edited January 14 by THELEGOBATMAN Quote
