Well, there’s no guarantee we’re getting a new modular next year in the first place  Sure, there’s been one every year since  2021, but that doesn’t mean it’s still continuing as a yearly thing  Next year’s D2C set might as well be a new Helicarrier

That's always possible, but I feel like four in a row is enough to be reasonably confident in the pattern.

The pattern doesn't have to mean anything, but the first set (Bugle) tied in with the regular sets and reused the figures/recycled misc parts with a high total fig count, the second (Sanctum) was tied to relevant media (DS:MoM) and introduced more new figs rather than repeating, with a low fig count, the third (Avengers Tower) tied in with Legacy sets, reused figures and recycled misc parts with a high fig total count, and the fourth (X-Mansion) ties to relevent media (97)... figures currently withstanding, but hopefully introduces more than it repeats with it's low fig count. If that pattern isn't a coincidence, next year's could be tied to the sets released at the start of the year.

I really do hope it's Oscorp, comic Spider Man sets have so much more to give than just the same 1.6 inches of Venom over and over. Since the Bugle gave us new heroes, and important civilians made from recycled parts, Oscorp could do the opposite with new villains and some villainous civilians made from recycled parts

I agree. It wouldn't confirm anything, but getting some more comic-based spider-man sets next year would at least open the gate for an Oscorp in the fall.

Kingpin Tower or an amalgamation of smaller buildings in one set like Nelson & Murdoch/Josie's Bar/Fogwell's Gym/Bar with No Name/Alias Investigations that wouldn't get a set by themselves with a bunch of cool new characters.

I generally agree with the wider sentiment on modulars being a place to get a large number of figs, including new ones, but we're never seeing a modular based on the newer defenders' corner of the marvel universe. It's become synonymous with the extremely gritty and not child-appropriate netflix shows (while I think daredevil is the best piece of superhero television/film ever, it's certainly not something lego would make sets off), and we know the 18+ label gave them just enough leeway to fit comic-based versions of DD and punisher into a spider-man set. I don't think lego would go for a set that, realistically speaking, would be heavily inspired by those netflix shows.

I'd love to see it happen- I made one from daredevil a year or two ago, though it's got a pretty basic exterior looking back- but it's not something lego would ever do.

Considering the Daily Bugle is still available in 2025 it's hard to believe Lego will make and sell 3 "skyscrapers" based on Marvel at the same time.The house/appartment of Peter Parker as the replacement of Sanctum makes more sense for me. The Bridge based on Spider Man comics/movies also seems more interesting like a model/architecture and very useful for those who create a city in Lego (the target audience of such modular buildings of Marvel i believe) 

[NoOneOfImportance]

Is there any indication that the X-Mansion will even be a modular? For all we know, MARVEL modulars are done, and the X-Mansion is just a big location set

[PGBQW]

Would you really consider it happening 3 times enough to be a pattern?

Not to mention, we have absolutely no reason to believe the X Mansion is a modular. I'd expect it to be something more akin to the Wayne Manor set from TLBM

[Lego Nostalgia]

I wish Lego made the Marvel Dioramas like the Star Wars ones, more detail and looks better for display, however I guess there was plenty detail on the Endgame one.

The Daily Bugle would likely be phased out at the end of 2025 as it would have been around 4 years at that point, at a push it sticks around till 2026 but that seems unlikely. We're already seeing Lego sell the Daily Bugle, Avengers Tower, Barad Dur and

I'm still leaning to a remake of the Helicarrier for 2025, would work well for the 10th anniversary of Avengers: Age Of Ultron as it appeared right at the end. Then they could include some Age of Ultron figures from that scene such as Captain America, Black Widow, Nick Fury, Maria Hill and War Machine.

Honestly the product leak made it look more like a stretched version of TLBM Arkham Asylum just with a seperate gate at the front. Primarily a facade as opposed to a modular.

I could see them doing something like this in 2028 and beyond, depending where the MCU goes. As by that point it'll have been 20 years and if the original phase 1-3 are still held in fairly high regard they'll probably keep revisiting them. I imagine they'd want an older MCU audience in order to justify more sets focused on display as opposed to play.

That's too late honestly, There's plenty of things they could do like Battle On Titan,Winter Soldier Street Fight,Iron Man 2 Japanese Garden,Avengers Assemble Bridge scene.

To me it looked like the 2012 version since that was more thinner on the sides than the 2017 one.

Isn't the Daily Bugle retiring by the end of this year? They might want a new Spider-Man D2C to replace it then for next year.

Oscorp would be great or maybe Kingpin's Building ?

I guess but if they include good figures and the build looks nice and like a skyscraper I'm sure it'll be popular with AFOLS

I'd agree, but I imagine that Lego's justification for dioramas is that it's targetting the Star Wars audience that grew up with the live action movies from around 1977 - 1983. The MCU doesn't have that amount of time yet so their experiments with older-focused products have been the busts and giant vehicles/robots. I suspect the 'Final Battle' sets are the first venture into the dioramas, but they are still trying to balance play with those.

Personally the Japanese Garden battle from Iron Man 2 would be a must buy if they ever made it.

I think Oscorp would make the most sense. I don't think The Kingpin's Building is really well known enough to sell (and when I think of the Kingpin's Building, I think of the tower he lived in from the 2003 movie). I would like to see a set with Daredevil peripheral characters like Elektra and Bullseye though, since both are long overdue.

With Oscorp, they can add as many Spidey villains as they want plus flesh out his supporting cast. I'd love to see the Jessica Drew Spider-Woman in a non-SDCC exclusive minifig, plus new versions of MJ and Gwen. Maybe MJ in one of her 1960s dresses from the comics and Gwen in her iconic outfit from her death. There's also Harry Osborn, Liz Allen, and Flash Thompson.

Maybe we could finally get Iceman now that the X-Men ban has been lifted, especially since he hasn't appeared yet in X-Men '97. Bring back Firestar (with dual molded legs) and include Ms. Lion.

No, it's Sanctum

In that case, I don't think that next year's D2C will be Spider-Man themed. Not with the Daily Bugle still around for a while longer.

End of 2025 currently. Was on list to retire last year at one point so these lists change

[JeanGreyForever]

I wonder if that's something they would currently have in development or if now the positive reception to X-Men '97 means they'd consider making that in the future. I don't feel like the X-Men would get two D2C sets back to back especially without any movies on the screen, but I have heard that the X-Men movie is being fast-tracked now so I do think we're very likely to get more sets.

Thanks for also confirming. I can see why they've kept it around due to its popularity. I wonder if the Sanctum Sanctorum sold less than the Daily Bugle hence why its retiring first.

[Clone OPatra]

This thread is locked until I can clean out the political discussion that doesn't belong. Doesn't matter that it's adjacent to a Marvel movie, and tangentially to a figure in a LEGO set. It doesn't belong here on Eurobricks.

Back open for business. anyone carrying on further political discussion is on notice and will have a timeout.

[Lego Nostalgia]

If they do make an Oscorp, a Bigfig Venom,Classic Electro and Rhino is a must, plus maybe even a Kingpin and Bullseye even though they don't have anything to do with Oscorp.

The Helicarrier definitely seems like something they would remake in the near future but I don't think it would replace the big location D2C. I think it's more likely to be a separate release like the UCS Hulkbuster was to the Sanctum Sanctorum.

The Baxter Building could be really cool. I don't think it would include many characters since we only know of 5-6 possible Minifigures so far. Hopefully, if true, they could compensate with a massive Galactus buildable along with the Baxter Building.

One option could be to double up on the main characters depicting both their human forms and using their powers. That would give the set a decent number of minifigures while getting around the relatively small cast.

Depends on the direction the next Spider-Man movie takes. If it does incorporate Daredevil and Kingpin as rumors have suggested then some of those locations could be safe to release as the characters would no longer be associated with just the Netflix shows. I think Nelson and Murdoch could pair quite well with Spider-Man's apartment (not just as a modular but even as a reimagining of 76108 replacing the Sanctum)

Good call on Iceman, Spider-Woman, Elektra and Bullseye. There's a lot they could do with an Oscorp set. Harry and Norman Osborn would be good inclusions as well since we haven't had either of them in a set since the original Spider-Man line from 2003-2004.

One thing I'd really love to see are classic variants of Electro, Rhino, Shocker and Lizard. I'm surprised none of them have happened yet. Kraven and Scorpion could probably do with another release as well.

In your response to your earlier, now deleted, post about potential Deadpool sets and how he'll factor in, it should be noted that Disney+ just added X-Men '97 to their MCU list. Now it's canonically part of the MCU multiverse and this seems to indicate that any X-Men who might appear in the new Deadpool movie will actually be live-action versions of the '97 characters. So even if we aren't getting any specific Deadpool sets, the X-Men minifigs we're getting will seemingly tie into the movie...maybe Deadpool might show up in the X-Mansion set after all for cross-promotion?

These Spider-Man comic sets are the only way we're getting comic book characters in Lego form so I don't think anyone minds how tenuous a connection Kingpin and Bullseye have to Oscorp. I think Green Goblin's gang were rivals with Kingpin's mafia at one point so there's some sort of link.

Only thing I want is just the MCU version suits of Deadpool and Wolverine from the new movie, no actual set but if a comic version suit is the only way then so be it, better than no new Deadpool

That's smart, like how Elastigirl had two minifigures in the Incredibles 2 sets, one with long stretchy arms. It's too bad Stan Lee isn't alive anymore because I would have loved a minifig on his Willie Lumpkin which we saw in the 2005 movie. The Baxter Building won't feel complete without him.

I forgot that Norman Osborn hasn't received a minifigure yet since the original Spider-Man movie sets, excluding his Green Goblin persona. Did Agent Venom ever receive an official minifigure? I could see him or Anti-Venom showing up too. I haven't played the new Spider-Man Playstation game but I remember in the first one, there were hints that Harry Osborn was becoming Venom.

Yes, to classic versions of all those villains. Really surprising we never got any of them, especially classic Electro.

Probably in future MCU movie sets like maybe Secret Wars even if that's a couple years away.

[JeanGreyForever]

Taylor Swift has potentially hinted that she's playing Dazzler. Swifties are a very passionate fandom so if Taylor really is in Deadpool & Wolverine, it's going to be a missed opportunity that there are no sets that could feature her in minifig form.
