Probably the one situation where a minifigure was my yes/no on buying any of the sets- I'll pass on them, now. 

Someone check on @Lego Nostalgia, is he safe, is he alright?

I guess the good new is it frees up options for the montage villains- I think there's really good odds we get tarantula and boomerang now, especially because that $60 367 piece prison transport is gonna need some figure draws. Spider-Man and a few kitbashes (DODC driver and/or sadie sink's unnamed character) aren't exactly going to get that to fly off the shelves. With how comic-accurate the BND suit is, lego runs into the issue of it being so similar that most kids will probably be fine with the one in the $5 polybag.

I am disappointed and I don't see the point in buying the sets when 1 major character from the movie is skipped, thankfully I have the Punisher from the Bugle, what are the chances there would be a 2nd wave for the movie in 2027 that includes him ? Do you think it's just these 2 sets or will there be 2 more like for no way home

Pretty slim I‘d say. The main reason NWH got more sets later on was the spoilery nature of the movie, which clearly won‘t be the case with BND, at least nowhere near that level. If the rest of the April Fool‘s post also pans out, Sadie Sink‘s character* will be included in one of the sets, and her role‘s the biggest (semi-) mystery of the movie, diminishing the need for spoiler sets

*maybe that‘s the character‘s name, Sadie S. Character

I don't think it's a spoiler thing where they're keeping him for wave 2. Probably more to do with Lego not wanting to showcase a mature-rated character. Guess this also means we shouldn't expect Daredevil or Deadpool in any future sets, particularly Deadpool.

Quite a bummer that Punisher isn’t going to be included, but it doesn’t yet nullify my excitement for seeing the BND sets. I’m sure there’ll still be some wins in this wave.

If I had to guess, his exclusion from these sets is just because of the character’s history and connotations in the MCU. Not to mention the Special Presentation releasing in May which most certainly isn’t going to be catering towards the same audience that BND will, especially as said Special Presentation releases ~2 months before the film.

It’s still a massive disappointment though. But to me it sounds like a decision with some logic behind it than the usual ‘we couldn’t include this character because we had less budget than the average 7 year old’s allowance’ we’ve heard for this theme for the past few years.

I really do hope the BND sets are strong though. The January Spidey sets have been phenomenal, it’d be nice for the movie sets to follow suit.

There's a good chance we could get another set down the line given how many characters are rumored to be in this movie, but if they aren't including Frank now I unfortunately doubt we see him at all. His casting was one of the first things we knew officially about this movie, it's not like lego didn't know he was coming, they just unfortunately chose not to include him. 

Yeah Bullseye's unfortunately also probably been concretely moved to the "only ever going to get as a comic version in an 18+ set" if that one scene of DareDevil: 2 Born 2 Again I saw on youtube is anything to go off of. Small victory of his MCU suit being so different from the comic one that we're probably still safe to get a comic one in, say, Oscorp.

(As a total side note, I'm starting to get concerned with how much people are loving Bullseye. I couldn't bring myself to watch the second season, so maybe I'm missing something, but in the comics he's supposed to be the devil himself. Totally irredeemable, famously murders both Matt's major love interests, tries to get Matt to break his no-kill rule more than Frank does, just a complete monster. Are they making him sympathetic here? Is he totally evil and people are just being weird?)

There are about fifteen thousand rumored characters, so if any of those who would be particularly desirable beside the Really Good Lawyer (who we now can assume won't be included in anything given Frank wasn't) pan out, it's possible we get another set. But unfortunately it wouldn't have Punisher anyway, since it's not as if lego didn't know he was coming.

Yup. Really unfortunate.

 

Since we can't get an MCU version, and lego loves those $30-35ish cars, could lego grace us with a cartoon punisher Battle Van set? They could base it completely off the Neogenic Nightmare stuff where he's pretty different from the MCU, but still get that soft tie-in to a spider-man movie. 90s Frank with a jetpack and rocket launcher, the van, throw in Man-Spider and Morbius.

Welp, went from being interested in the Spider-man: BND sets to not really caring about them. What's the appeal here? A miscolored Spider-man? Sadie Sink? A recolored Hulk big fig? Scorpion can't sell these sets on his own. How you going to convince people to drop $120 on two Spider-man: BraND sets?

No Punisher, despite them previously doing a Punisher figure and despite them toning down Punisher since the rebooted Disney Era. Lego really are damaging interest in the sets when several of the more popular MCU characters are not going to get figures such as Deadpool, Daredevil, Punisher...

People can certainly be weird (there are people who actually think Homelander is somehow the hero, for example), but I wouldn’t say he’s been shown as anything but evil. 

Spoiler

His “redemption” arc is just him going out and killing a bunch of people and the show seems to be aware that this is bad.

Personally, I think the character has a ton of charisma and is just a lot of fun to watch. And I would absolutely love to get a minifigure of him.

Holy media illiteracy, Batman! Scary to think that such people exist. 

I think characters connected to the Daredevil side of the MCU are all off-limits for now. Well, except for Echo for whatever reason

He's a really good villain, has aura and his throwing ability is cool, he's a bad guy in the show but nowhere near as bad as the comics, so far in the show it seems he wants to change but I feel he'll just go back to being evil

That's the one thing I hate about Lego, the most popular and cool characters they won't make or skip, I feel like if it's a character from Marvel, just make them, I see hasbro make deadpool and punisher stuff and have 14+ on the box, wish lego would get with the times and realise kids like violent characters too

Comic Modulars are the only way I guess

If Marvel makes a movie with Spider-man, Defenders, Punisher, watch lego only include spiderman, iron fist, Luke Cage

Is there a D2C modular this year for dc or marvel ? There are conflicting reports

apparently we are gonna see the BND sets within 3 days. People on the brick tap discord server were saying that last night

A Marvel one has 100% been ruled out months ago, and we currently have no set numbers unaccounted for. Granted, we only learned about this year‘s Harry Potter D2C set last week, so it‘s possible there could be a DC modular lurking in the shadows, but I wouldn‘t bet on it

The same source that told us about the One Piece reveal on the 9th also reported a BND reveal on the 15th, so this is trustworthy ^^ If the secrecy works as well as it did with One Piece, we might get to see leaks today though!

Wait so they're telling the truth?? I thought they were just guessing. This is exciting!!

it's happening, more clear pictures of the Spidey minifig just leaked. We now have a better view of the backprint

the light blue highlights continue on the back, it looks really nice! it is only the upper torso this time so it is hard to say if this fig will actually have dual molded legs or not

God I’m so excited to see the sets

Exactly! Scorpion, Tombstone, Boomerang, Tarantula, Hand ninjas, and whoever Sadie Sink plays would be more than worthy additions too ^^

[DaredevilFan]

I wonder what they’ll call Sadie’s character, if Marvel are keeping it a secret. Shame about Punisher but I was kinda expecting it. Still some potential new characters which is exciting

I’m really excited for the BND set reveals too  Really hope they deliver without just being the bare minimum for a movie tie-in.

After the announcement that the Punisher special was arriving April/May, I started to have doubts TLG would touch the character. The R-rated violence and carnage for which the character is renowned has made a comeback, and I don't see BND changing that perception. Not to mention, these sets release between the TV-MA special and the PG-13 film (where we know that very character almost drops an F-bomb, because yes, he's absolutely an adult character).
Do kids like violent characters? Probably. Should they like violent characters? Probably not, and TLG has stuck to such moral obligations, for better or worse, since they discontinued a toy gun back in the 50s.

Nonetheless, it's very disappointing about Punisher. It makes me wonder what the Prisoner Transport is going to look like, since I had assumed it was more or less Punisher's battle van. Although given the piece count, that really doesn't make sense if the title is "Prisoner Transport;" on the other hand, how are they going to fill up 367 piece besides a 150ish City vehicle? Maybe it's a villain pack with Scorpion, Boomerang, and Tarantula? My personal interest was more related to expanding my gallery of Spidey rogues than getting an MCU accurate Punisher, as cool as it would've been. I mourn the loss of his battle van more than his minifig.

the Prisoner transport was always going to be that big beige tank that we have a lot of set photos of

Ok, cool, I guess. I still don't think it's great- I know Dex started as more sympathetic in the Netflix show before he fell into insanity, but I don't like the idea of him even thinking he's redeeming himself. He's supposed to represent the guy that Daredevil just can't reason with, basically his Carnage, just a gleeful maniac who's in it for the love of the game. His scene at the start of S1 was the only one from the disney show I really liked, aside from the ep4 punisher scene that Jon Bernthal rewrote, because it displays exactly who Bullseye is at his "best", or worst I guess, in the comics. Somebody who basically exists purely to serve as temptation for Daredevil to cross that line. (which they've been making Kingpin in the shows, but kingpin's honestly supposed to be someone that he's able to reason with sometimes, and has legitimately gone straight in the comics before.) But I guess it's better than the show thinking his actions are good.

Most of them, yeah, but Sadie Sink's character will probably be a kitbash since no matter who she is I doubt lego gives us her actual costume/final form.

It would be absolutely hilarious if against all odds she ends up being Rachel Cole and lego accidentally gives us a Punisher figure by putting her in a set. (It won't be- the literal only two details that match are "redhead allied with punisher"- but it would be really funny if it was.)

This has been really interesting to me, and the one reason I still am coping that Sadie Sink is Shathra and not... the character she's more or less confirmed to be. The movie doesn't currently have a main villain. Who's pulling the strings? Tombstone? Would that be all that interesting- he's no Kingpin, IMO. Ezekial Sims could be interesting given we've started adapting bits of The Other, and it could be who Keith David's playing given his monologue, but that would really stuff the movie- as much as I want a Morlun fight in Spidey 5, if Sadie Sink is... the character she probably is, as opposed to shathra.... we're not going to have enough setup for it in this movie.
