Wow, what a lame minifig list. The only somewhat interesting character is Kraven. And of course Venom’s included. Can‘t say I‘m surprised tho :tongue: 

The new Iron Patriot on the other hand is awesome and Igor is certainly an improvement! :sweet:

No Mark 42 is super disappointing, I feel like out of all Iron man’s suits that’s the one which needed a remake the most. I would pick-up Iron patriot separately but I’m like 90% certain they’ll reuse it in the Endgame battle. The Oscorp list is disappointing but I kinda expected it. I wonder why it’s so expensive, kinda hope Venom is a bigfig or at least it’s Symbiote Spider-man but I know none of these will happen 😂

Grateful that we're finally getting Kraven but it's a real shame they're not leaning more into the villains you'd associate with Oscorp. Obviously Green Goblin's a must, but Venom? Again? It's not surprising, just disappointing. 

Still, holding out hope that the Osborn waves make an appearance. Hopefully Gwen Stacy is a little more on point than the Bugle version as well.

So with the Oscorp minifig reveal I have some interesting thoughts about this set... I'm intrigued if Gwen will be a civilian version of the character, and with Norman Osborn, there's a possibility that the Oscorp building might have a function where you can turn him into the Green Goblin.

Regarding the other characters... Venom and Kraven in the same Oscorp set... wow, I never expected Lego to go down such a dark path... if you know what I'm talking about 😏

Hall of Armour is extremely lacking in its contents. It's completely barebones, yet somehow costs 55€. The build is nice, but for a 20€. Igor is an improvement, although it's still not particularly good. The minifigures are super mixed—it's supposed to be an Iron Man 3 set, so why doesn't it include Iron Man 3 Iron Man and Pepper Potts? Baffling decision. Iron Patriot looks great, and Killian's facial expressions are killing me.

The Hulk Truck is surprisingly good. I may be in the minority here, and I couldn't care less about this set, but I enjoy it simply for how absolutely ridiculous it is.

The Oscorp minifigure selection is disappointing, as expected. Not a single new villain. Bigfig Venom would be its only saving grace, but we know it ain't happening.

Not a massive deal breaker, but why does Hulk have plain legs? The past few sets (all being cheap ones) gave him purple/green dual print

That Thanos figure is incredible though, definitely the best when it comes to comic book Thanos (only mini fig scale though, 2016 big fig reigns supreme to me)

I agree with this, the only way I can really accept the absurdity of it is just to picture an in universe demo derby where someone has designed a vehicle on Hulk's likeness. Pair it with the Spider Man monster truck for a good ol' face off

I was Kraven for more than 1 newish villain.

Please let Spider Girl refer to Mayday.

It's Kraving time! Technically there's 2 newish villains, Norman's not been seen since the yellow skin days, when he had no abs, just a plain yellow torso

After the Venom car initially said Gwen would be included, but ended up being Julia Carpenter, not sure what to expect with 'Spider Girl'. Could be Mayday (🤞), could be Anya Corazon, could actually be a various Spider Woman, could even be Peni Parker

I'll bet all my money on it just being a reuse from Venom's Muscle Car.

Don't expect Peni, she's not a Spider-Woman and is completely unmistakable as a character.

Wanna bet he‘s just Charles Xavier (either version) with a generic hairpiece? :tongue: Geez, I‘d sacrifice this set for another Raimi one in a heartbeat. I expected nothing and am still disappointed. I was even joking before about Venom being included and they actually did that!

They should give him a green suit with a blue and black striped tie just to watch everyone here lose it.

I wouldn't have thought anyone could mistake Gwen (white suit and a hood... wait...) with Julia Carpenter (black suit with hair) but that happened. To the non-nerds who have watched Spiderverse or played Rivals, Peni literally fits the description of 'Spider Girl'. Not definitively saying it could be her though

Now Lego just needs to produce 3 more spider women. Then they’ll make 1 webmillion dollars.

It‘s kinda hilarious how they included Morbius and Kraven in sets one year after the respective cinematic masterpieces dropped, yet they entirely skipped Madame Web :laugh_hard: A comic-inspired version could‘ve been an interesting inclusion! Certainly better than the 50th identical Venom :tongue: 

Hopefully Gobbie is a new variant, the rest (bar Kraven) will certainly be the same minifigs as before, and Norman I expect to be kitbashed.

This hall of armour is sad. inclusion of mark 43 makes me sure that we won't get iron patriot mk2. They just use this one for the endgame set.  The wrong winter soldier suit wasn't one time inaccuracy, this is what the marvel line is.

I hate idea that igor is mech, it's just bulky suit not mech. this is inaccurate and ugly. I think I'll skip this, maybe just bricklink mk3 or iron patriot

The hall of Armour set is okay by itself, but stacked up against previous versions it's a bit lacking, it doesn't really bring anything new to the table. I do really like this Iron Patriot variation though, I might bricklink it.

The new orange color for Peppers hair looks pretty good. The choice of hairpiece doesn't work for her as she pretty much always has bangs. It's too bad they didn't recolor the Dreamz ponytail instead, it would have been closer.

I love the Hulk set, it is campy and wonderful. When a sale hits I might actually pick it up. The legs on Hulk are a downgrade and I also think Thanos is a pretty boring choice of villain for this.

I think the Oscorp minifigure lineup is okay, but definitely might end up sucking depending on what variations they go for. I'm happy to get another Kraven. And Norman Osborn is exciting if they give him a comic design, but could be terrible if he's all recycled pieces.

I'm hoping the presence of Spider-Girl means that Gwen is a civilian. And if they could do a ASM #121 inspired look for her, that would be perfect. If they can give me comic versions of Gwen and Norman and even a halfway decent build, then I'll buy it.

I think the Hulk Truck does exactly what it sets out to do and does it well. It's supposed to appeal more to kids than adults, and kids like big vehicles. Not for be, but I honestly don't have any issues with it.

New Hall of Armor and Oscorp though? Meh. Both seem overpriced, and while both have some potentially good-sounding minifigs, there's also some filler reuses that no one is excited for in both sets. I'll wait until we see pictures to see if I'd want to Bricklink anyone separately.

New Hall of Armor is ok as a 40$ set but for 55$ it’s insanely overpriced. The Iron Patriot fig looks great but Pepper and other Iron Man suits are reuses so nothing exciting. Killian is ok but what is that face print? Couldn’t Lego be bothered to make new face print to accurately represent character these days?

Hulk truck vs Thanos is hilariously bad set. Even that Hulk vs Red Hulk truck fight from 2017 is way better in comparison. Not sure about the price but it’s just a no for me.

Oscorp set is priced at insane 130$ for 800 pieces. Like what is Lego thinking here? It’s Captain Marvel 2 set all over again! At most it should be 100$. The figure selection is also uninspired and if I had to guess most of them will be reuses. I just hope Norman and Green Goblin are new here but knowing Lego they probably are reused. Kraven can be interesting but I’ll wait for pictures before deciding on this set.

The Pepper figure is fine for Iron Man 1, but beyond that she wears a lot of white outfits and has her hair down a lot more. I think the Hermione hair piece would work well if recoloured (after looking it up, I'm surprised that piece hasn't actually been recoloured other than bright yellow for the exclusive Supergirl/CMF sleepy girl or gold for the anniversary Hermione)

 

We need Gwen how she looks in the LEGO games. Since the Bugle figure felt more Spider Gwen civilian based, I tried to craft a regular Gwen with that green/purple colour scheme, but the best green torso I could find was Ginny from the Burrows. Legs I used Daphne from Scooby Doo, but all together while it was the best I could do, I wasn't completely satisfied with it

Technically, they made Julia Carpenter this year, who was featured in the critically acclaimed Madame Web. While it’s not the Web herself, it’s something, I think. 
 

Agreed about the minifigures. Hopefully Spidey will at least have his dual-molded legs, but that doesn’t feel likely.

Oh god!

It’s blonde Han Solo?!!?

How the heck is Tony going to survive?!??

 

Also the Oscorp figlist leaked.

I was Kraven for more than 1 newish villain.

Please let Spider Girl refer to Mayday.

It's actually Han Solo, the Immortal Iron Fist, and we can now recreate the iconic scene where Killian screams "Qi Guan Chang Hong!" or "Dragon Unleashed!" and inexplicably starts rapidly advancing through the sky towards a frantically flying-away Tony by kicking and punching the air.

I'm pretty confident that it'll be a re-used suit with the Star Wars Finn hairpiece and a generic head.

Lego accidentally making a set where you can recreate the worst spider man storyline by having civilian Gwen and Norman figs in Oscorp would be really funny.

I’m honestly surprised that Lego’s putting Gwen and Norman Osborne in the same set. IYKYK.

What's funny is a lot of people are doing to assume this is a "Gwen Dies" joke, when the reality is much more disturbing.

 

 

I knew we were never going to get a fig list like Kaine, Daredevil, Moon Knight, Luna Snow, Bigfig Venom, Comic Lizard, Raimi Goblin, Doom, but c'mon, that fig lineup? For a set that's $130 with only 800ish pieces?

My worst-case scenario guess was Norman (Re-used parts), Green Goblin, Venom, Doctor Octopus, Spider-Man, Spider-Gwen, Miles, Iron Man or Black Panther from the car set. And the only things I got wrong were that the 4th hero re-use was spider-girl and that we actually did get a new Kraven over the Doc Ock. I think this is a bad set, it takes away the hope for an oscorp modular anytime soon, and I hope it retires soon so that a modular oscorp that can actually include a number of interesting characters can come sooner.

 

Also the Hulk truck is one of the worst sets we've ever had in the theme, I know people like how goofy it is, but it has no redeeming qualities to me. It's very clearly meant for little kids, sure, but... I GURANTEE YOU little kids would prefer a bigfig hulk, or play features to smash apart the truck, or more than two characters in a $35 set. I'm confident this set is discount bin food. It, in my opinion, shows almost every issue with the theme. De-embiggening big characters, too few figs, the build is a vehicle the character doesn't need, etc. At least for $35 the price isn't that bad.

I was hoping that the minifigures in the preliminary image of the armory were placeholders until the very end, and instead we won't have mark 42, it's ridiculous... but Killian and Patriot are fantastic! especially Patriot is wonderful (did you see that the legs are printed?? :-D). Also, if they specified "mark 1", maybe in the Endgame expansion there will actually be the 2. I imagine that whoever spread the rumor about the Oscorp tower has seen images of the set? And that if venom was a bigfig they would have told us? Or can I still hope?? :-/
