Most likely, this list is incomplete. They can’t get away with fewer than 5 sets for Doomsday! Even with the cutbacks on new MCU films, it‘s still an Avengers film, after all

I’m assuming it’s a case of them following concept art but assuming Lego’s had to do the same we could be about to get a Thing Minifigure that blends easily with comic stuff as well! 

I've resigned myeslf to no bigfig and wasn't planning on getting the set, but if thing can Clobber em in the classic style (especially if he's got dual molding for the boxing trunks) it might push me back around to buying it. I've been maining him in Rivals and it's really upped my appreciation for the character to here him say stuff like "don't tell my wife I'm here (in a cross-timeline brawl), she thinks I'm getting groceries" or charge into battle shouting "This is why I'm aunt Petunia's favorite nephew!"

While the Star Wars list could also be incomplete, it's implied it only has two sets for the Mando Movie. If they're willing to give a new STAR WARS film only two sets, I'd 100% believe an avengers movie was getting cut to 2-3 sets.

There's a chance it's partly a spoiler thing. Several characters have already been revealed for Doomsday, so there might be more to work with than Mando and Grogu, which hasn't had much officially revealed yet.

That said, are these for sure all the set numbers? Over at HP we're currently learning about several 2025 sets that had not initially been announced (retail exclusives, D2C ...). So there might be more.

There could be more.

But I’m also not expecting a five set wave for Doomsday. I’m betting on three, maximum.

[Swordy]

I’m thinking it’s an incomplete list. Yes, it’s not exclusively January 1st, but don’t we usually get May set numbers separate from January numbers? Past doesn’t dictate future, but it gives me some hope. In any event, whichever sets get dated to April or May will undoubtedly be the ones for Doomsday. I hope for 5 or 6 sets, which includes the 18+ so long as that set doesn’t go to another Batmobile.

In other news, we got confirmation that the first CMF in 2026 will be $5–theoretically, that should mean the Sony Spider-Verse CMF is $5 as well. Glad to know I was wrong (I hope).

[brickbride]

The three Spidey 4+ sets for 2026 start at 11206. We've had three so far this year (the dino ones, 11998 through 11200), so that tracks with the list for January/probably March 2026, but judging by the set numbers we can expect up to five more this year. This subtheme seems to be doing well so I'd expect additional numbers for 2026 to eventually pop up, too.

The rest of the numbers start at 76334. I cannot find any current or leaked set for 2025 that goes higher than 76329, so that's several numbers still unaccounted for?

There's also a gap in the leaked 2026 list with 76339 and 76340 both missing. I know skipped numbers are a thing but it might also mean something else (retail exclusive, D2C, or just sets that come later in the year). And would Marvel and DC set numbers usually follow right after each other, or could the gap mean a switch between themes as well?

So I guess since we already know 2026 set numbers, we can officially say R.I.P. to the idea of a 2025 Marvel D2C? 
 

[brickbride]

Like I've said, the numbers for 2026 start at 76334 and we're up to 76329 now (Miles Morales Mask). I cannot find anything for the numbers in between. Could be skipped numbers but with such a lot of them in a row there might be other explanations as well, such as a D2C (or, say, sets that have been delayed until later in 2026. Or cancelled altogether).

I doubt it. Mando and Grogu's had footage shown off forever ago, as well as a number of publicized castings and trade reports on characters. The average person who reads the trades (and takes a peek at a trailer meant for conventions) would know about 4-5 vehicles, a location set piece, and a number of characters Rebel/NR, Imperial, and underworld for months now, which means Lego CERTAINLY has been given all that in concept art.

Not to mention that Mando's been chugging along for years no with no reports of behind-the-scenes issues whereas we can assume doomsday's script, characters, and plot have been through the ringer between the Kang change awhile back and even more recent stuff like the cast list not having as much overlap as you'd expect with the leaked concept art from a month or two ago (not that that confirms anything, it's possible we just got a set of concept art mainly featuring characters who didn't later get shown off in the cast stream, but it's still notable. I think only one of the five featured characters who's names were on those chairs.)

If there's an April wave, maybe, but I doubt it'd be May sets. I know they've played it close to release with the endgame sets, but day-of would be a crazy move for lego.

It seems like Arkham may have taken it's spot. It's disappointing that there's no Marvel one this year, but at the same time I wouldn't mind them building up more of a figure base for a comic avengers or spider-man D2C.

No way is Doomsday releasing May 1st exactly… *one Google search later* Good Greef Karga, it does premiere May 1st exactly! That’s crazy, especially considering a SW movie could and should have the May the 4th weekend that year.

I’m thinking that the missing set numbers were reserved for another film—perhaps Beyond the Spider-Verse, which is now slated for June 2027. (This movie better be beyond amazing for how long they’re making us wait…) Another option, albeit unlikely, is that those are all the DC sets next year. Of course, we’re way too early to tell.

Here’s the Thing about a Thingless shirt a shirtless Thing. It won’t happen with TLG in 2025, where, if you’re lucky to get Slave Huttslayer Leia at all, they stick her in swim trunks. (Actually, I’ve got a hot take on Leia having dual-molded legs, but I’ve digressed already.)

That being said, I’d love some comic-adjacent figures, particularly for Thing and Human Torch. Even for the rest of the foursome, the movie costumes aren’t too far off from the vibe of the 70s comics, so to me it’s the best possible scenario for a toy company adverse to comic-accurate designs.

Wait what? M&G might be doomed. It releases exactly 3 weeks after Doomsday so that will cannibalise a good number of ticket sales. They won’t be able to capitalise on May 4th hype.

What is Disney doing?! Doomsday might be able to hold its own if they swapped the release dates around but M&G is in a worse position either way.

3 weeks isn‘t that bad I think. CBMs are pretty front-loaded anyway, so 3 weeks in, numbers for Doomsday will be dwindling no matter what, making way for Mando ^^ Sure, we had a pretty similar situation with Infinity War and Solo back in 2018, but Solo had pretty lacklustre marketing, was sandwiched in-between IW and DP 2, people were accustomed to expect new SW movies in December, and a Han Solo origin story was always gonna be a tough sell. If Mando has good marketing, I don‘t see much of an issue here

It's 12 Superhero sets so far for the first half of the year, so this includes both Marvel & DC along with sets not inspired by the movies. I'd imagine the list is incomplete also. It's entirely possible that some licensed sets are not included and/or the potential for Doomsday to have split waves - one before the movies release, the other in Summer for more spoilery stuff.

What Disney + series are currently in development? If we look at patterns, the next marvel CMF will be in 2027. And I doubt the TV shows this year will be in recent memory enough to get spots.

I have a feeling we won't bet getting any more Disney+ series CMF lines. Especially after they didn't make one this year and replaced it with the Spider-Verse one. I think Lego sees that the shows aren't popular or watched enough to warrant making minifigures on. I can't think of any relevant shows we'll be getting in the future that would be considered must-haves to make minifigures from.

Not sure I follow, were you joking about shirtless Thing? I'd be very surprised if they didn't make him shirtless, and likewise Johnny in flame mode. It's not like Sue and Ben are going to have the same torso ie. the Guardians. Thing has always worn clothes sometimes but shirtless has been kind of his staple design forever. Let's just be thankful he stopped wearing the underoos a decade or two ago.

BTW, a shirtless Aldrich Killian from IM3 was released in a set literally less than a week ago, so it's not like lego is afraid of shirtless minifigs.

Doctor Doom, Avengers, the FF, X-Men, maybe even GotG, vs sweet, sweet Baby Yoda? You’re right, it’s no contest.

Someone remind me whenever we get a new Dr. Doom to change my profile picture to Grogu crushing Doom’s iron mask.

 

There is a precedent in both cases; Avengers has always had the first weekend of May (why, 2012’s Avengers released May the 4th that year—the only non-SW film that could deserve that release date), and the first SW trilogy released in the third week of May. However, we saw how this worked out for Solo so I do have a bad feeling about this.

Yes, it was a joke, moreso about Disney than the TLG; not seeing Ben Grimm shirtless so far in FF trailers combined with Disney’s overall sentiment around Slave Leia. Still, TLG doesn’t want to upset their biggest IP partner. (They are okay with City figs showing yellow plastic, but have shown caution for licensed figs.)

Maybe TLG will base the figure off concept art showing him shirtless, but I wouldn’t be too surprised if they opted to save money on a reused torso than a separate one. (Ben and Sue do have practically the same design as far as the translation to a LEGO minifig torso.)

All I need are Thunderbolts and Fox X Men in Lego form… hopefully they don’t Endgame this wave and just give us core avengers + doom. I need a Sentry, and a new and accurate Namor would be welcome too

I don't think he legitimately meant that lego was afraid of showing a rock man's bare (rocky) torso, I assume it was more about the fact that we haven't yet seen First Steps' thing shirtless, so if he's wearing a shirt for most of the movie it'd track that the set would include a shirted thing.

At this point, all I'm allowing myself to expect is Doom. If we get Marsden Cyclops, John Walker, or Thunderbolts Ghost, I'll be very happy, but I'm not going to permit myself to believe we will. I could easily see the wave being the replacement avengers and an army of outriders doombots.

They clearly have no faith in it, it was the safest option for a SW movie

I hope we get Doomsday and Secret Wars Spoiler sets a year after, is that a possibility like Endgame ?

I reckon there'll be more secrecy behind Secret Wars, so I reckon it's a better possibility there, but it could also happen for both

A possibility I had thought of, rather than ending up repeating Endgame's wave of <random bull'sheep' go>, maybe Doomsday sets could take a Legacy approach and give us Quantumania, Thunderbolts* and X-Men movie (just replace the black leather with yellow spandex) sets that will cover the relevant characters from the film without the need to make up random vehicles. The same could then be repeated for Secret Wars, providing accurate Doomsday sets

 

 

Also this has a strong possibility of being fake, but a hairpiece with purple sunglasses has just popped up on Reddit, it's linked to the same user who posted the Sunspot torso as well as a Nightcrawler head (which looks pretty fake). They were teasing Jubilee pretty heavily on the thread of Sunspots torso too, plus a lot of snowflake emojis with the NC head, so as always take with a grain of salt, but maybe X-Men 97 might be making a comeback in the new year

Since Endgame sets avoided spoilers with a barrage of outriders and Quantum realms suits, I've been curious to know what the Secret Wars equivalent would be. Doombots instead of Outriders/Chitauri? All the Avengers & X-Men in TVA suits?

If that leaked concept art is real, we get a bunch of 1602 Avengers?

Fox X-Men are the priority for me, especially any new characters we haven't gotten yet. I'm curious what direction they're going to take Mystique in Doomsday. Will she keep her look from the original trilogy, go full blown comic accurate or be some weird hybrid of the two like her final scene in Apocalypse was?

My preference would be for comic accuracy as she would fit in with the rest of the existing 97 minifigures, but her Fox trilogy look is so iconic that I wouldn't mind getting a minifigure of that version either. I can't imagine Lego would have any problems producing it when they've already given us Cheetah from WW84.

I mean sure, if it does well enough and there's spoiler material. IIRC the only movies to get spoiler sets that close afterwards were Endgame and No Way Home.

All depends on how much info disney gives Lego, how much of the movie lego wants to cover, and how well it does.

Three new figures, one with a new mold, for '97's second year? With stuff like the sunspot torso leaking that far out? 100% Fake.

I'm sure doombots will be the CGI villain army, but the QR suits weren't really there for spoiler reasons- we'd seen a good chunk of the endgame suits well before release. I think that was more of a cost saving measure or part of how marvel overall did a big marketing push with those suits.
