Also Yellow/Red dual molded legs for classic look of Ironman (MMicros) 

Nah, the colors would have to be reversed, as in yellow legs with red boots.

Just realized. Yah my bad. I guess, I'll have to stick with my pure red legs.

The Thor boxes look quite big actually.  I mean for a trilogy that hasn't had any sets before surprises me with how big the sets are.

With those characters that has been revealed to appear. It will be worth it. but I think it will be pricey!

[Scarilian]

I dont particularly mind two large sets, we tend to get better vehicles and structures in the more expensive sets and it reduces the need for extra sets based on lower price ranges. That said, it probably wont sell too well amongst the target audience of younger fans who primarily tend to go after the cheaper sets.

Though admittedly, being the third in the trilogy and with no prior sets for that movie series - perhaps Thor's Lego sets are not going to be too focused at targetting younger members.

Personally the only aspect i'm perplexed about is Hela, her helmet/crown is too intricate to be represented in Lego form, so i expect they will cut it down to size a bit. Interested to see what they do.

[SpiderJazz]

Imagine loki's helm they did a great job with thAt. But as far as I'm concerned Hela's will be rubberized too.

The more I see the new Milano, the more I want it. I really like the orange color scheme and it looks amazing even though it's a lot smaller than the old one.

Tell me about it....

I said to myself, you don't need it. You have the old one. The superior one, you have the figures. 

But the orange....

And the seemingly reasonable price...

And the new variants...

Hahahaha actually ur right. Even if I have the old one, figs are must get if ur collecting the marvel wave.

I can't wait for two bigger sets personally.  I mean yes it's going to cost a fair bit more, but it'll be nice to get a decent sized movie set for once.  Do we have names for the sets? 

[SpiderJazz]

Nope we don't have the set names yet. But we have a description on what it will contain

[Dr Axels]

I personally hope the new Milano is smaller.  I have a Marvel display set up with all my modular buildings, so a smaller Milano would be easier to balance on top of a building.

Yeah, I'm running out of space. The new one can still fit all the minfigs in the set, so no loss there.

[SpiderJazz]

I can't see the new Lego Milano promo. How bout you guys?

[THELEGOBATMAN]

Me too.

Probably they took it down. Released it accidentally because it's too soon. Lucky @benderisgreat

[Battlinpanther]

I can't wait to get a look at Valkyrie and Hela.

Wait, did we account for three sets initially? It's probably just wishful thinking on my behalf, but could we see an updated Doctor Strange figure in one of those? He's supposed to play a pretty big role in the movie, and it would be so nice to get a new figure with more screen-accurate printing.

[VaderFan2187]

It may be an accident, as it is labeled "Mighty Micros", but the video description is correct.

Well new Milano is way smaller than last one, so Mighty Micro might be right title.

I like minifigures in the set and they are the reason why I will buy new Milano. But both builds in the set look plain bad! In my opinion Lego should have either made giant Abelisk using majority of sets piece count, or just updated and improved Milano. The 2014 version just looks so much better, it had interior, was bigger and more accurate to the movie. New one isn't substantial enough, just like Quinjets. 2012 one had great interior, but exterior was meh, 2015 was vice versa , and 2016 one wasn't even the main build of the set and was downsized like new Milano.

I'm kinda sad because it became a trend on releasing spaceships within the Line. I was looking forward if it's a new Milano with a much better interior and design, or just pure Abilisik build with a ginormous size. Well what we can do.

Alright, guys, I'm in the US, but I bought a Ms. Marvel figure on Bricklink. Here are my observations and thoughts:

• The torso comes in an unusually large plastic bag with perforations. If the bag is unfolded, it's about the area of the front face of a $13 set.
• The hands (not the bracelets, the actual minifigure hands) are removable from the arms and can be replaced as well, but they require more force than when removing or replacing hands from regular arms.  Once removed, they appear to be standard hands.
• The arm piece feels less like rubber Friends hair and more like Lego's typical soft plastic tubes.
• There's no metal wire, it's just molded into the curved shape, so it can't be posed well, and the shape just snaps back to default as soon as pressure stops. However, the plastic does feel like if you left it in one position for a while, it might tend towards that position.
• The printing quality on the torso looks fantastic.

I then used scissors to cut the arm tube.

• The tube is very soft, and is very easy to cut.
• The tube is solid; there's no hole through the center, nor is there a core made of a different material
• Standard minifigure arms definitively DO pop in, with no further modification needed.
• The balls are not compressed once inside the socket, so the figure shouldn't be damaged, nor should the arm pieces.
• The arms can be rotated without popping out or breaking.
• However, the interior socket is uneven; it's rectangular, so the ball joint on the arm experiences uneven friction as the arm is rotated; in some positions it has more friction than others.
• Because the sockets aren't designed to hold minifigure arms, there's a tiny bit of give: in some positions, the arm comes a millimeter out of joint. However, in most positions it looks completely normal.
• Arms come out easier than from normal torsos, but they should stay in fine, even during posing or play.

Edit:

Other things of note:

• The torso piece doesn't have the customary white/black square on the neck peg. I assume that's because the arms are back-front symmetric, so it didn't matter which way the torso was facing when they were inserted.
