However, regardless of the minifigures, if it were a mosaic, I could evaluate the end of my relationship with lego ☹️

I don‘t get why this option is brought up every time a new D2C rumour shows up. Art is its own theme with its own distinct range of set numbers, so a mosaic can be ruled out 100%

These are jjpsleaksite‘s hints:

• The set is neither minifig nor microscaled
• It’s not an AT, nor a quinjet
• It isn‘t Icons collection 2.0
• He expects many people not to like it
• He says there‘s a hint in his story

In his story, he also posted a meme-y picture of the creator tiger (LEGO) eating the buildable Iron Man‘s leg (the set) while a shocked Spidey watches (the fans)  Can’t imagine that’s supposed to be the hint

Also worth noting that he said that it’s not a UCS Quinjet but that’s the “right idea.”

I'm guessing it's a large scale dragonflyer. They said it's not a Quinjet, but they had the right idea, so maybe a vehicle. They posted a photo of the aircraft earlier, and with Wakanda Forever around the corner, it may be attached to that film.

That wouldn‘t make any sense though. As big as BP is, it‘s not „$500 UCS set depicting vehicle with limited screentime“ big

[LegendaryArticuno]

Looks like it's going to be a long wait. Not interested in those hideous buildable figures, and not really interested in the Black Panther 2 sets, overall set design seems to be a bit of a step down from the Endgame sets.

I'm actually really glad that the $500 USD set is going to be controversial and not a set for most people, that's A LOT of money saved! The hulkbuster 2.0 might be tempting depending on how good the design looks, but I find the dome headpiece to be a bit limiting and it looks quite bad when scaled up for bigger mechs.

The Iron Man armoury set is currently £20 off on Amazon UK, certainly a better grab than £80 so I've finally bought it

??? This is the set that took up most of this year's superhero budget?

 

Someone's been lying

 

 

Unless the bust opens up and u can reenact scenes inside tony stark's skull lmao

My guess is something like the Harry Potter Icons collection. A bunch of Avengers gear from the movies that might look great next to Thor's Hammer.

Something similar to the HP Icons collection. Including Rocket Racoon (To display alongside the Baby Groot set), Captain America's shield, Iron Man's arc reactor and probably Tony Stark's glasses from FFH. That way it'd end the year with you being able to have Thor's Hammer, Cap's Shield and Iron Man's Reactor on display or you could pose like Cap with the Shield and Hammer.

Thing about this concept, is that I could see getting an Arc Reactor and the glasses in lego form, as they're fairly small items.

But the shield alone would be way too big to be actually doable with Lego pieces.

And following that, if they can't include a captain america shield I doubt they'd do an icons set at all.

My theory is the set is a statue or large scale buildable humanoid figure of a character holding the Infinity Gauntlet. Either Iron Man MK85, Thanos or both. Probably with a selection of figures to display on a stand.

If I had to bet, I'd go with this.

We know its not microscale or minifigure scale, so I'm fairly confident it will be a bust/sculpture depicting one or a few iconic scenes.

I think the "they had the right idea" was about the set being something different we're used to

[Ghostcat]

Interesting it isnt either Tower, Was really looking forward to how Lego would do Avengers Tower themselves to compare with my own.
But in all Honestly I Didnt think they would attempt/Could Stark Tower at that price range. 

No doubt Lego could do the external of Stark Tower and a breaking Sign play feature but because of the size needed for certain parts they would really have to make some changes in order to flesh out the interior of the top floors like the "bar" , Stark and Loki scene or even a MK7 pod. Heck fitting hulk in there will be a challenge as the upper floors above the flight deck will be the smallest as opposed to Avengers tower where the Smaller floors are Below the flight deck.

Also Threw off my prediction this set would have the last 3 stones as the sanctum had Time, Space and Reality.


Didnt want to see a Helicarrier. I supposed the old one about 50% bigger could have a couple rooms inside at fig scale like the Bridge, Lab and the Prison (Drop out play feature ofc)


Wayyyyy too early for Spidey NWH sets. Dont get why everyone was expecting a Liberty.

A Marvel set like the Harry Potter one would always work but It really seems like they were saving budget for this set (ignoring the 20 or so "bins" the armory and sanctum each got)  So Figs make sense.
So thinking that, its been 10 years since Avengers. A Bridge Diarama with the Big six, A Brick Built leviathan and a bunch of Avengers brick builds could be a idea? Lokis Staff, Tessaract, Widow Stingers, Grapple Arrow, Arc Reactor etc. Thats my current prediction!

JJP also mentioned that it’s not an icons collection, probably worth relaying that here too.

Edit, never mind, Brick Bob already covered this.

Maybe it could be Lego's version of the Avengers sculpture shown during the Age of Ultron credits?

 

 

[KevinMD]

Sanctuary 2 UCS!

Or a wakanda diorama. That has the giant panther

[MasterofElements]

From all the hints and whatnot, along with following Lego's recent trends of unusual D2C's (the ? block from Mario, buildable figures, the Mosaic's line, and Hogwarts Icons), I would say the D2C is either a bust with a specialized mini figure plaque, a Marvel version of the Jurassic Park Gate with an oversized monument (maybe the Avengers Logo, as others have said), or something related to the Infinity Stones. I think maybe a new, giant Gauntlet or a box of the Stones with brickbuilt stones with lighting features and figures linked to each stone. 

I think that's a bit unrealistic for a $500 set though. 

[AndrewCole14]

With the 2023 Star Wars sets info being revealed the end of last week and Harry Potter being revealed later today, do you think we will get info for Marvel by the end of the week?

"Iron Man vs. The Mandarin: Ultimate (Collectors' Series) Showdown", is it finally time to realise the dream?

Or it could be a 4,500-piece model of a fire extinguisher.

Don't do that... Don't give me hope

[HatBricks]

With all the hints, my theory kinda picturing maybe some sort of endgame final battle diorama built out of Jazz musician style figures/legoland style figures. At that price you could get 12-15 figures of that style with a sizable base maybe. The one who asked why it would be disappointing asked if it was either cause it was something unique or a vehicle. And with no quinjet or helicarrier, I struggle to see a vehicle that would be iconic enough for that price point. (Maybe the Milano, but I doubt people would find a ucs style Milano disappointing) so I feel like its gotta be something unique on more of the sculpture front. But who knows, maybe it is the dragon flyer?

The thing that really thows me off is the iron man missing the leg, to me that sounds like there is something "missing" from the set. But it's hard to imagine what that might be.

I'd suspect, perhaps, it's a USC Benatar, only slightly bigger than the Benatar we currently have but costing a lot more.

Yeah I saw that. I'm still hoping to get it for £50. Not sure how realistic that is. I'll probably end up getting it full price in a panic just before it retires

[LegendaryArticuno]

Possibly a UCS Q-Ship? But in all honesty, pretty sure the leakers are just clickbaiting like crazy right now and overall spreading as much misinformation as possible. 

 

[hvader]

I’m now convinced that it’s NWH final battle

You're saying the 2021 benatar was so good that they decided to make a actual UCS version despite the last one only just coming out and people already call it a UCS?

Like I guess if it had the actual drop pod I guess? but not this soon. give it a couple years or GOTG3  

The Milano would make more sense as a new GOTG set tbh

These are all really good reasons it can't be the Benetar... I'm now convinced it's the Benetar.
