The Doctor Doom minifig had better be on day 18 so we can build him the same day we go to see the film in theatres

No one is watching that in theaters. :head_back:

Finally, some news! The D2C set is indeed a new Helicarrier, one of the upcoming sets is a buildable H.E.R.B.I.E. (either 76345 or 47), and the AC allegedly features Xmas Wolverine, Doom, and Ghost Rider :laugh:

Helicarrier replacing this year's modular makes sense, it's unfortunate we lose out on something like Oscorp (Kaine, Daredevil, Moon Knight, Luna Snow) but it should be an excellent set regardless.

Herbie is unfortunate. And this isn't the one the leakers thought was doomsday either. If it gets First Steps branding, we better get some Thunderbolts* sets too.

The calendar is interesting as as @NXS7 says, it would imply being the first comic calendar, which in turn implies it'll either mix parts with MCU sets or we'll be getting at least part of a comic-based Doom.

IF true, this could mean it's our first comics based advent calendar (ignoring the Spider-Man one), and if it is and sells well, hopefully we could see more of them in the future. I'd like to think the lack of anything worthwhile in the 23/24 calenders is probably why there wasn't a 25 one, but potentially a new comic based Doom after 13 years should boost sales

If I'm reading it correctly it's a christmas Doom, which would limit his usability a bit. I would not be surprised if the calendar used the Doomsday head print with a new Doom-mandated day of festivity sweater, but it could also mean a new comic-book doom is coming, which would be AWESOME.

I don't think any of the marvel calendars have had more than 3 new prints- last year was two- which implies if all three of those are sweater-wearing as implied, Doom will be re-using a mask. Which means one of three things:

1. It's primarily a comic calendar but includes MCU doom's mask.

2. We're getting a comic-book doom this year

3. Lego just not only confirmed Wolverine for Doomsday but as far as I know would be the first to leak Nicolas Cage's triumphant return.

That Thor trailer seemingly promising a return to form for him's almost got me. I know it's "Remember (Character you liked)? We dug them back up.", but I can feel myself slipping. If we see anything leak about the Thunderbolts being treated with respect and having any real screen time, they might have me.

The original source listed it as "Ghost Rider", "Christmas Wolverine" and "Dr Doom", so I take it's only Wolverine to be wearing an Xmas sweater (which I unironically would love if it was a yellow/blue sweater with an X on it)

Ghost Rider will undoubtedly be reusing the recent figure, but maybe instead of a bike he'll get a firey sleigh to ride

Excellent- In that case I hope christmas wolverine is a santa wolverine with a recolored mask. The lack of other holiday figures being mentioned would imply we might get more than a sweater, though we don't have the full figure list so perhaps there's a sweater cyclops or magneto alongside him.

A sleigh for ghost rider would be a lot of fun.

In either case, we're still at the same three options for what Doom's inclusion mean.

1. It's primarily a comic calendar but includes MCU doom.

2. We're getting a comic-book doom this year

3. Lego just not only confirmed Wolverine for Doomsday but as far as I know would be the first to leak Nicolas Cage's triumphant return.

Comic Doom I feel is very likely given that we also got comic & MCU Ultron in the same year. Face print and leg print might be reused but I feel we’ll get a comic torso print just for that Doom

I got the midi-scale Helicarrier for $40 in a Walmart sale before the holidays and I felt it was a decent deal at that price, but not amazing. The original Helicarrier is cool, but it's so large. With the new one being pretty much the same price ten years later, I worry that it will be disappointingly small for some, in comparison with the original, and not great value in comparison with the midi-scale version. It will be interesting to see.

If it does turn out to be a comic Doom in the advent calendar, is it likely to be featured in any other sets? Have any of the advent calendars ever had exclusive (non-christmas) minifigs?

Guesses for where else this Doom could appear:

  • A Thing mech with Doom as the antagonist like the Ultron in the Iron Man mech
  • A comic Fantasticar
  • A mini modular Baxter Building

I’d be surprised if they didn’t just stick movie Dr. Doom in with a bunch of comic figures and called it a day. We have gotten new comic and new movie figures of the same character in the same year, but it’s rare. And it typically only happens for really popular characters like Iron Man, Spider-Man, and Captain America. It also never happens with new characters, which doesn’t technically apply to Dr. Doom, but might as well.

Plus, Doomsday releases right in the middle of Advent, so I’m sure a movie accurate version of him in a advent calendar would be a selling point.

I had it in my head that the 2015 model was $250, but it was $350. You're right that it will be MUCH smaller- $370 2026 dollars is only $270 2015 dollars.

The Helicarriers have not been doing well around me either- they're piled up at my local walmart (Though still at $52) alongside the Tantive IVs.

None of the marvel ones, but the star wars ones used to. But when they did it was instead of a christmas figure, not alongside it. And the marvel calendars only get 2-3 prints, so with Christmas Wolverine happening, I think it's more likely we see either movie doom, or you're right that comic doom is coming in another set. Though it could easily just be Doom in a random spider-vehicle.

It could go either way, but it's important to mention that there's definitely precedent. We got both versions of Ultron last year, and neither of them were even based on new content with the character. We got two new versions of Rhino this year, and he's hardly Doom level. MCU and game versions of Black Widow releasing in the same year. Technically speaking, MCU and comic Mysterio in the same year. Lego certainly isn't averse to having multiple versions of a character on shelves at the same time either- there are too many examples to count.

I don't think it means it will happen, but I certainly don't think it's exceedingly unlikely.

Looks like we’re getting 3 BND tie-in sets:

  • 76346 Buildable Spider-Man Figure (813 pcs, $99.99)
  • 76349 Prisoner Transport (367 pcs, $39.99)
  • 76350 Spider-Man vs The Hulk at the Office Building ($89.99)

The second one has to include the Punisher, right?? :laugh:

Will Michael Scott be a minifig?

I had the same thought :snicker: Must be a translation quirk! Sure, the set probably does feature an office building, but that can’t be the final name!

this is major news, i thought major 2026 marvel set news would force the mods to migrate this to a 2026 server instead of the 2025 one

Prisoner transport sounds like exactly what we want, a plethora of bad guys, but that price is concerning, knowing Marvel/Lego :(

Spidey vs the Hulk sounds boring, but I'm assuming it'll be a "Spiderman city" modular tie in, and hopefully has Punisher or some of the other leaked characters. I'm betting this movie gets some sets next year too, honestly.


Glad to have a helicarrier and I hope this one is good. The old one was too small and too expensive IMO

Posted (edited)

I did not get the previous Helicarrier after considering it for quite a while. I think it had a lot of room for improvement and seemed to use pieces unnecessarily. The turbines for example featuring 16x 15068 each turbine, whereas they could have used 8 x 88930 per turbine instead which overall would have saved 32 pieces while retaining the same visuals.

Above anything else with the new Helicarrier my hope is that we have printed pieces rather than relying on stickers and that the model is accurate. I don't think it needs the motor function/lights, but it'd be nice to keep the concept of microfig or a minifigure part of the interior.

As for Herbie, I guess they felt that it'd be like 'Baby Yoda' or Groot but I don't think the movie performed as well as Disney wanted and I've personally had no interest in that film so it's an easy pass from me.

It was 509 pieces for £69.99/$79.99/€79.99, so it was over-priced, and they had the audacity to have it be ALL STICKERS except for the bland one displaying 'Lego Marvel Helicarrier'.

I'd guess we'll get a full printed Spider-man figure with the BND suit. The set being based on the BND suit would make sense as it'd be the easiest for people to buy multiples of the set and modify into Tobey's and Andrew's suits for a display of the three of them... someone better do this 👀

I think the figures would be: 

  • Spider-man, Punisher, Sadie Sink's character, Department of Damage Control Soldier (Gotta have someone driving the vehicle)
  • Spider-man, Hulk Big Fig, Sadie Sink's character, Scorpion, Tombstone and a Hand Ninja

No need to say “Sadie Sink’s character” when we all already know she’s playing Big Wheel. :tongue:

I’m kinda surprised we’re only getting two minifigure scale sets for this. Given the number of characters that are supposedly in this film, I suspect some characters (Boomerang) aren’t gonna make the cut.

if that prisoner transport contains a few of the rumored villains of the movie like Boomerang, 8-Ball, Tarantula besides Scorpion…

certain villains like boomerang and Tarantula are only in a montage sequence, they hold no real gravity in the film
