Spider-Man regularly fights Venom, who is literally an alien, and yet he doesn’t have a rocket ship. Why is that? Is he stupid?

Ok hold on we've gone too stupid and this is going to be the summer 2026 flagship set. It will include Spider-Man, Miles, Gwen, and Venom.

Nelson, Murdock, and Page/Josie’s. Minifigures include: Foggy Nelson, Matt Murdock, Karen Page, Daredevil, Bullseye, and some civilians. Includes a fun feature where Dardevil can leap off the roof of Josie’s and swing safely around, similar to the function for Spider-Man on the top of the bridge battle set. I’m sure many fans of Daredevil would buy that set for their children.

Ummmm... "some civilians"? Not everyone's favorite characters, Mcduffe AKA Replacement Foggy and Cherry AKA Replacement Karen?

But yes clearly a great set for children, especially if we have "matt breaks his one rule and drops bullseye off the roof" or "bullseye takes every possible second in which daredevil's fists are not actively connecting to his face to kill another civilian" play features.

I'd easily sacrifice the Fantastic Four set for a Thunderbolts one.

I haven't even gotten to see it yet and I'd sacrifice the year of sets for one. I'd mercy-kill the DC theme for a John Walker minifig.

To be fair the subway train is exactly that

No- the subway train is civilian vehicle- if it were spider-man's, it would be- as it should be- bright blue and red with spider legs attached.

It occurred to me now: City this year is very vehicle focused, due to F1 sets. So Marvel became building focused. Everything is balanced, as it should be.

Can city be vehicle focused every year, then?

Just came out of Thunderbolts*—wow, Marvel finally decided to make a good movie!

I saw it yesterday (just before the deluge of set pictures and after watching Andor, what a day ), and it’s easily a top contender for best post-Endgame MCU movie! There are only two things I disliked about it and I wish the spoiler tags still existed  I wanna RANT!

The sets are overpriced, but they look good, and they offer a good amount of variety, so I am very happy about that. I love that we’re actually getting city sets, those are long overdue. However, the interiors for the Oscorp set are too sparse, especially compared to Peter’s apartment. It is amusing that the set is “Spider-Man vs. Oscorp.” From fighting the Wall to fighting a whole building, Peter’s got his work cut out for him. The minifigures are good, too. Eddie’s a nice surprise, though I’m once again lamenting the removal of the dual-molded legs which the Spider-Folk have used in the past yet are denied now. Why, LEGO? Also, it would have been nice for Norman to more closely match his poster in the Bugle, but getting him is a plus. 
 

The Hammer drones are oversized, but as builds, I think they’re okay, if not for the stumpy arms. The 4+ set gives us a new Cap, which is nice, and the Endgame battle actually feels more like a battle. Glad to have more enemy forces as opposed to six heroes vs one Chitari. I do like the mini portal in there, no doubt so Babu Frik can pop in and say “Hey Heyyyyyy!!!!” 
 

The train is really good, and I like Ock’s new arms. Aunt May and JJJ are nice inclusions. The Quinjet’s shaping is really well done, and the new Quicksilver and Reddington minifigures are very nice. I know Vision is technically available in the Avengers Tower, so hopefully we’ll get a new AoU Wanda to round out the main cast. 
 

Overall, this wave combined with the Spider-Verse deli (and potential CMF) and FF set make up a pretty good year for Marvel.

Not that I'd do it because I'm not a millionaire, but it would be cool if someone got several copies of the Spider-Man 2 train set and bust put a bunch of wagons together to make a regular L Train.

You could even make your own Twelve Angry Men diorama!

[NXS7]

I don't think anyone else has mentioned, but JJJs face print is a reuse of Barty Crouch Sr from Harry Potter

Such a shame they weren't brave enough to give Norman Osborn his signature waves.

The figure looks completely based of his Playstation game design. Added onto a new age Ultimate Universe Green Goblin and a Sonyverse Eddie Brock, this set is quite the mix match

Absolutely not. Over the moon excited for this movie.

I saw it today, I'm praying Doomsday will cover their figures. USAgent is a must have since he was skipped in place of picks like Monica Rambeau in the first CMF and Sentry's costume in the film looked <chefs kiss>. Also Red Guardian should NOT have been locked behind a con exclusive set

I have to agree with others, it's definitely up there on my favourite post Endgame films. At least unlike NWH or DP&W, it didn't need nostalgia to really encapture me

Would love to see all the buildings integrated together, and better yet, MOC'ed into full size builds for a Lego City/ Town!

It needs to. Everyone here is perfect. The one thing I hope is that they undo the costume change they made to one of the characters at the very end- their costume from earlier in the film is much better.

Yes- the best marvel movie since endgame not using "look at this, it's cool pre-endgame characters".

It's all in the subtext. Cherry does jack all investigative work in the show, despite being replacement Karen- Matt's clearly keeping him around anyway.... notice how Cherry and Heather are never onscreen at the same time? (What am I even writing. This was originally a legitimate point that Mcduffe and Cherry just replace Matt and Karen's roles in the show in a less interesting fashion- obviously with the romantic aspect of Karen moved to Heather.)

There's more chemistry between Matt and that guy who stole the desserts. Or the irish stereotype and Detective Kim. No, wait, between Fisk and the commissioner- he even gives him that nice hug!

 

Thunderbolts is peak cinema, I'll take my sets now lego. But seriously, just perfect. Finally a new team of characters that I actually care about. I'm going to need the entire franchise to shift to focusing on these guys instead of whatever the heck Doomsday currently is. I would also like to confirm my earlier statement that I would mercy kill the DC theme for a John Walker minifigure.

I really pray that Lego didn't make Thunderbolts sets because they’re planning on releasing all of them for Doomsday…

Doomsday already has 27 cast members. Even if, by some miracle, we get 6 sets for it, that would be close to 5 unique minifigures per set. That’s ignoring actors who may yet sign on and the inclusion of henchmen (aka Doombots) and the need to repeat characters. There’s no way we’re getting everyone, and I could definitely see the Thunderbolts getting the axe given how much more popular most of the other characters have been.

Yup. Even in a nice scenario, where the wave is like the initial Infinity War one instead of the Endgame one, we had:

25 figures total, 21 of them unique. We're already down 6 cast members, assuming the same amount of doombots as Infinity War had outriders (and remember, this isn't endgame where it was 50% of the figures- there were only 4 outriders in the entire wave. And as a side note barely any of these guys had leg printing). Guess which team has exactly six people on it?

Now I really hope that this isn't the case. Thunderbolts is currently getting some REALLY nice reviews from a lot of people, and box-office wise while it's too early to get a great sense, has had promising previews and seems to be tracking to at least "do better" than captain america 4 did. Maybe if it does well enough, marvel increases their role in doomsday a bit and/or lego sees the way the winds are blowing and either swaps them into the doomsday sets or- if the movie does... better than even my copium addled brain thinks it will... lego makes a set for em.

John's my personal favorite but the point being the DC theme has so little left going for it that I'd kill it for any Thunderbolt (except maybe taskmaster). Like you say, no amount of blood spilled could save lego DC.

There will be no way to include all the Avengers: Doomsday characters in the wave of 2026 (if the film is not delayed) sets we will get. This is going to be another scenario where we get some of the characters but a majority are released later.

There's been a 'leak' of another 33 characters, bringing the total to 60 cast members and that's not including additional characters that are being kept for reveals in the films itself.

Sucks that spoiler tags are not working.

• - 1 via not adapting M'Baku given he'll probably have a tiny role like in Endgame
• - 1 via not including Ant-Man who has been in a lot of sets lately

Leaves us with 25 from that list and depending on if characters have updated costumes you can probably have Torres Falcon, Sam Cap, Loki and Prof.X being repeats.

Doomsday releases less than a year from now and the sets likely release next March. I doubt that’s enough time for either Lego or Marvel to react and make changes if Thunderbolts is a huge success.

Best case scenario is probably a Legacy set, but even that probably wouldn’t release until after Secret Wars.

Oh my God... if Thunderbolts members appear in Doomsday sets, will I have to buy them just to get my beloved characters? 

Please LEGO, don't make me buy Doomsday-slop sets. I don't want to buy anything related to this mess of a movie. But what if Ghost appears in those sets... or John Walker... 

Almost an ethical dilemma.

Yup- at the end of the day there's just not enough room for even half the doomsday roster and it'll come down to whoever marvel tells lego has the more prominent roles (not necessarily who actually does have more prominent roles)

Yeah no I know it's not really happening- at least for lego, I do think it's not impossible the film is reshot to include more Thunderbolt, we all know they do enough of those anyway- that's why I added the copium bit.

The true dilemma- is it better for the cinemabolts to be snubbed from the slopsday sets so we can't get them at all, or placed in the sets so we have to buy RDDoom sets to get the Thunderbolt characters? And either way, we know we're not getting someone like bob- it'd just be the more marketable bolts.

(Realistically I'm hoping we just get a number of the Bolts into cheaper sets so at the very least they won't be bad to bricklink, but I'm actively going through part catalogs trying to assemble a purist team again. There's still no good answers for John or a non-comic con Red Guardian, but Yelena and Ghost at least can have OK purist customs- there's a good ghost helmet from one of the avengers calendars. Bucky shouldn't be much of an issue either.)

I will argue in fairness that there weren't many fantastic options for sets in the film, other than the newly renovated Avengers Tower as seen from the trailers or Red Guardians limo (which I would've been fine with, but it would've been pretty bland)

That's an abusive relationship and Fisk is a victim.

 

I dunno, I feel like any of these would have done just as well as the standard MCU sets (some minor odd wording to avoid spoilers):

Thunderbolts* Battle ($37.99): Vault with incinerators, pod, and sliding door. Comes with Taskmaster, Yelena, John Walker, and Ghost. (And Bob? is that too many minifigs)

Winter Soldier's Pursuit ($54.99): Red Guardian's limo, a small Humvee, and a motorcycle. Comes with Bucky, Red Guardian, Yelena, and an agent.

The Watchtower ($119.99): Watchtower build with Yelena, John, Ava, Alexi, Bucky, Valentina, Mel, Bob (different outfit than in the first set), and villain character

This would unironically have improved the show- they need to retroactively edit it in so Matt pays whoever's running the music at the gala to play we built this city to try and make Fisk crash out.

The real reason we didn’t get Thunderbolts  sets is because they’re not all wearing the same costumes. Since Endgame, Lego only makes team up movie sets if they all wear the same exact suits.

Um, no, we got a set each for the best team up movies, The Marvels in The Marvels and the Ant-Family in Quantumania, and in neither of those were they all wearing the same exact suits.

 

 

I have now seen cinemabolts twice with tickets for a third time tonight. Each time I've the number of people I've gone with has increased according to the Triangular Number Sequence. Everyone I have seen it with so far has gotten tickets to watch it again. For my contributions to the box office of this film I would like to hang out with Bob and the thunderbolts in real life but I will settle for LEGO MAKING A SET FOR THIS MOVIE.

I mean just in general they've been burned with the MCU sets- we know the Eternals wave shelfwarmed, the BPWF movie didn't translate into set sales around me, and while I don't have even anecdotal sales data for The Marvels (Actually I don't think my local walmart even STOCKED the hoopty set) or BNW given how those movies preformed I can't imagine the sets did/are doing particularly well. The only post-infinity saga movies that did really well and got sets that also seemed to do well were GOTG3 and NWH, both relying heavily on pre-endgame characters, so I can understand why lego was cautious about Thunderbolts- even if they chose the wrong movie to stop making sets for.
