Lego Nostalgia Posted March 1 Posted March 1 I have a strong feeling that this theme is heading down the same path as DC, we've had 4 Endgame sets yet no Hawkeye,Nebula,Prof Hulk,Black Widow, Cap,Wanda,Black Panther,Doctor Strange keep getting reused and we still haven't got battle damaged Tony, WHERE'S THE GAUNTLET, it feels that Lego has become very anti consumer since 2022 and they think they can get away with it because of their profit, mark my words Lego will go bankrupt again due to high prices and kids using Tik Tok, the days are gone where traditional toys are popular, Pads and video games are the new toy And the excuse with the budget, notice how that was only brought in in the last 3 years, something changed in the company, probably greedy execs, we never had this budget excuse for Marvel before 2022 Quote

It only appeared in the hulk copter, and just a dark red fist in the 2021 battle set, very sad to see, would love a bruised Tony face with worn armor with the gauntlet and most of all, I WANT HAWKEYE Perhaps we treated the civil war set too harshly, the build isn't bad and the Giant man looks ok I imagine Turtle somewhere pointing at us laughing while holding his Shadowbox, I'm happy for him, he warned us Perhaps it was about the Shadowboxes and Buildable logos we made along the way Quote
psqidexslizer Posted March 1 Posted March 1 Lego should probably stick to dioramas of scenes that don’t require more than 9 minifigures and don’t take place on a big, grey, mostly-empty landscape. Quote

Half the new sets these days are 18+ and as for the others, do you really think many kids will buy a EUR 200 Hogwarts Great Hall? Though the dichotomy concerning video games is kind of funny to me. On the one hand, pretty much the only reason I can think of for adults to shell out EUR 200 for their kids' Great Hall (or Nocturnia Castle) is that at least they'll spend some time away from the screen. On the other hand, the theme of the latest Dreamzzz season and its corresponding sets is video games, and then there's all the Super Mario, Minecraft, Animal Crossing etc. sets. Quote
Renny The Spaceman Posted March 1 Posted March 1 Honestly it's impressive they've done the same set like 26 times in just over 5 years. This feels like it'd sit nicely next to that Kenobi set Quote
DaredevilFan Posted March 1 Posted March 1 It appears concept art has leaked for Doomsday, won’t spoil anything. But could be some fun sets and minifigs in the future. Dooms design looks really good. Endgame final battle is somehow worse than I thought it would 😂 Reused Cap is super disappointing Quote

I'm glad Lego has become an adult kinda collectible but it's whole creation was for kids, and it's sad to see that something so good for imagination and play and brings joy to so many is losing it's influence, I'm 20 now but even when I was a teen I still collected/played with Lego, everyone else was into videogames, I think it's good that Lego has reached Adults more because now we don't feel like an outcast, there was a time where people thought adults buying Lego was weird but anyway, If I ever have kids in the future I will pass down my love of Lego to them, it's such a great product with lots of imagination, you can just build, re-build, make your own, make your own stories, have Batman cross over with Star Wars and Marvel, it's a shame that this might be a thing in the past for the next Gen Also Lego was always expensive, kids always got their parents to buy 100$+ Lego sets for Christmas, always the bigger sets I wanted, I don't see that argument, a 200$ Hogwarts at playscale was obviously made for everyone 3 hours ago, Renny The Spaceman said: Honestly it's impressive they've done the same set like 26 times in just over 5 years.

I'd agree with you if the Dioramas came with accurate figures, Cap being from AOU,Strange from MOM, BP with a non MCU design, Ant-Man with no leg print, it's just cheapness and it gets worse each year passes, it's honestly infuriating that 2016 had better printed and accurate figures THAN 2025, can you imagine in 2021 we got the scale suit Cap from Endgame now this, AND WHERE IS HAWKEYE FFS, THATS LIKE THE LAST REMAINING FIGURE WE NEED FROM ENDGAME HE'S 1 OF THE 6 OG AVENGERS, PUT RESPECT ON HIS NAME, HE WAS COOL IN ENDGAME AND HELD ONTO THE GAUNTLET FOR A WHILE CMON LEGO Best Dioramas so far have been the No Way Home, Avengers Endgame Women team up and the Age Of Ultron one A Battle on Titan Diorama would be so good, IW Thanos, Reused Mark 50 from the Sanctum, Reused Iron-Spider, Starlord WITH A HELMET THIS TIME,Drax,Doctor Strange and Nebula Or a Wakanda Battle one with IW Thor,IW Cap,Black Panther with purple energy markings like in 2021 and maybe the Children Of Thanos But alas, more Endgame ones with no Hawkeye and more reused and less quality figures Winter Soldier with no arm print really made me worry for this theme, I don't think anyone can defend him getting no arm print when in 2016 which was 9 years ago, he got it always And I think at this point we'll never get Stealth suit Cap Just make another Daily Bugle type set with Characters we've never gotten before that can't show up anywhere else like Bullseye,Kingpin,Elektra and I'll be happy A D2C Oscorp would have been the best chance but it's a playset instead with only 1 new figure, Kraven who we've gotten before If I see the same red and blue Spidey,Miles,Gwen and Venom in another set passed 2025 I'm going to go nuts At least make new designs Edited March 1 by Lego Nostalgia Quote

Honestly, nobody around me would ever consider buying a EUR 200 LEGO playset, much less one that's part of a larger system with even more expensive sets coming. EUR 100 is pretty much the limit and then you have to feel like you get some substance for your money, which is hardly ever the case these days. Compare, say, the 2018 Hogwarts Great Hall (licenced, ten figs) with the newly leaked Endgame set. The former was a substantial build (with sone awesome alternate MOCs using the same parts) and the latter is ... this. Edited March 1 by brickbride Quote

It's somehow even worse than the Civil War set. The minifigures are pathetic. Out of ten of them, is Spider-Man literally the only new one? Multiverse of Madness Doctor Strange, Age of Ultron Captain America... and that awful faceprint-hairpiece combo for Spider-Man. The base is an ugly mess. The portals don't look impressive at all. Don't even get me started on Ant-Man's... mech thing. The worst part? How is that 100€? Genuinely an awful price for an awful set. Ant-Man is new too, but that's still 2/10, which is incredibly tough. And yeah, the builds are horrific. I never thought I'd see the day where I'd say I wanted lego marvel to have a vehicle and not a background build, but when your set's background is a grey floor... Even discounting the Leviathan or a true giant man, what about one of those big chitauri gorillas? You've got falcon here, the only time I remember seeing him in the fight itself is when he killed that thing, why is that not a build? The Chitauri had these sick tanks that looked like if you make a TX-130 from star wars out of spiky bones, I've wanted a set of that since 2019. Why is it that all the comic sets are made up vehicles instead of the cityscape, but when they're covering a movie with plenty of vehicles and large creatures, we get a grey slab? 7 hours ago, DaredevilFan said: It appears concept art has leaked for Doomsday, won’t spoil anything.

BrickBob Studpants Posted March 1 Posted March 1 That set sure… exists. I still like the portal builds and having the amazing portals scene featured in a set is welcome, but the inaccurate minifigs and uninspired build are hard to excuse. They had the budget for unnecessary new Mark 85 prints, but not Dr Strange? Also, a mech is a weird way to represent Giant-Man. And of course the minifig choices are pretty lame, but we‘ve known that for a while. Meh. The only good things about this set are the Ant-Man and Iron Spider minifigs, the broken shield, having extra heads & hairpieces for some of the characters, and the portals. Quote

The question is if audiences will give it a chance after so many lackluster films in a row. I also see a group of characters that Marvel seems to be pushing and I don't think the public cares about them at all, but they'll at least make for some nice minifigures since we don't have some of them. I might have to watch FF after all. If Lego is so fixated on Endgame's final battle, I wonder why they don't make a set on the actual compound pre-destruction. Quote

And I think Captain Marvel was also supposed to be one of the new leaders of the new phases, but she's another character who failed to sustain a franchise. Neither of them are in the concept art either, so I don't know what Marvel is planning with them or if they'll quietly write them off. Reportedly Brie Larson doesn't want to continue in the MCU anymore. They'd be better off repurposing that police station set for the Avengers compound than giving us the same battle scenario which becomes even more diluted with each new iteration. 20 minutes ago, poisonbricks said: Ordinarily, I'd spring to the defence of designers, because of course they just get told what to make! Doesn't Marvel get final say on what gets made and which minifigs are included? I know with the Daily Bugle, Lego planned to populate it with mostly random civilians and it was Marvel that forced them to essentially rename them into existing characters like Gwen Stacy. I think with Disney sets, Disney does get full control on what sets are made so I'd imagine they have the same control for Marvel sets. Quote

A Battle On Titan Diorama seems like a no brainer and I wouldn't be surprised if we got that set next year. I've always thought a Guardians Vol.3 Hallway Scene diorama would be awesome. Maybe it could happen. But to be honest, That Endgame set that was revealed today is probably the WORST Lego Marvel set I have ever seen. Just laughable and makes the Civil War Diorama this year look like The NWH Final Battle in comparison. Is the only summer set that we don't know the full figure list for just the AOU Quinjet? I really hope we aren't only getting just 3 figures in that set. Quote

But look Junya's just one person, he already was dealt the killing blow that was Ransom Fern making an objectively better Hulkbuster using only the parts in his set. (Just to be clear since the 6784 thing is obviously a joke, I've got nothing against Junya, who I'm sure IS just getting assigned all these mechs, even if the UCS Hulkbuster thing was probably somewhat embarrassing.) 39 minutes ago, JeanGreyForever said: Same, I can't tell who the main lead is supposed to be either.

I've read Captain Marvel -as Carol- comics I liked, I've seen Brie Larson in movies where she's done a good job, but I never thought she did all that well as the character.) My guess is they're still trying to find what team to assemble, because there's precisely one (1) character in the concept art- at least in that set of the concept art if you know what I mean- who people would legitimately by hyped to see. Nobody's popping off over the guy he's sitting next to in the piece of art with just the two of them or the people around him in the other piece of concept art.

Lego Nostalgia Posted March 2 Posted March 2 An Ideal new Avengers team would be Sam Wilson Cap, Spider-Man, Scarlet Witch, Daredevil, Kate Bishop, Moon Knight For me anyway, I'd add Blade but he's more of a Midnight sons character, I'd add Thor and Clint Barton Hawkeye but they'll be there anyway I'm sure, Hulk is still soft 2 hours ago, poisonbricks said: Ordinarily, I'd spring to the defence of designers, because of course they just get told what to make!

As for Thor and Hawkeye, due to out-of-universe reasons I'm not sure Thor will show up, and I'm fairly confident Hawkeye won't. Both characters are in a place to be reasonably out of the game and I don't think either actor seems particularly keen on returning to the MCU for doomsday unless I missed a recent interview. 1 hour ago, psqidexslizer said: IMO, Spider-Man would make the most sense to be their new lead, but Tom Holland is filming The Odyssey at the same time and he’s supposed to film another Spider-Man by next summer, so just from a scheduling standpoint I don’t think they could make it work.

But I agree, I don't know if that would be feasible with his schedule. I don't think he has many MCU movies left in his contract anyway. if you're referring to who I think you're referring to, I think he makes the most sense to be the new lead as a legacy character played by the most famous actor still left in the main cast. But looking at the pics, I see a potential issue that has already plagued previous MCU movies. Way too many Disney+ characters. Movie watchers will not recognize half of them and a few will confuse them so much because they're so different from when they were last in the movies. Quote
