I know you said a minute chance, so I don't wanna come across as raining on a parade, but IIRC, Tandnbricks said recently that the Doomsday sets wouldn't be like the initial Endgame sets where it's made up stuff/stuff that is from other movies/barely in Endgame So that means we should expect something like the Infinity War/Average Marvel Movie wave for Doomsday.

Very unlikely (even those movies had film-based minifigures despite... whatever was going on with the actual sets), but it would be awesome. Good idea.

The first endgame wave had a few great figures and what I'm sure were fun toys for younger kids, but the infinity war wave had some great sets. We already know some of the vehicles that will be in doomsday, so hopefully lego's able to make solid representations of them like they were the Benatar. 42 minutes ago, psqidexslizer said: Just a thought, but what if the buildable Dr Doom isn’t actually the Doomsday version.

calebcold3 Posted February 18 Posted February 18 (edited) I wonder what some of the builds of the Advent Calendar will be? I could see a Micro X-Jet (since Wolverine is in the set) and a Small Christmas Themed Bike for Ghost Rider being some builds Edited February 18 by calebcold3 Quote
Scarilian Posted February 18 Posted February 18 (edited) Advent Calendar is probably comic inspired. Guessing they also want to make use of any molds or prints they will use for Doctor Doom, just recoloured. @psqidexslizer Yeah, sadly that's probably right, guess it makes sense. I was hoping Scorpion's tail would look better in the movie so the figure would have more options. 11 hours ago, psqidexslizer said: Just a thought, but what if the buildable Dr Doom isn’t actually the Doomsday version. What if it’s a comic version and includes a comic Dr Doom minifigure. I should clarify that a buildable Doctor Doom is just speculation from myself and probably others. I think it has a likelihood of happening as its a masked prominent character and would pair well with the buildable Iron Man as bookends to the franchise while opening the door to us getting buildable versions of the villains (Ultron being the next logical choice once again pairing well with Iron Man) Edited February 18 by Scarilian Quote

On 2/12/2026 at 5:30 PM, psqidexslizer said: The majority of Spider-Man sets we’ve gotten over the past 10 years have been based primarily on the comics. So not only can there be comic sets, there definitely have been. (Unless you really want to argue that, for example, Spider-Man never had a truck in the comics so therefore it’s not a comic set despite including figures solely based on the comics. But, in that case, you’d have to also argue that most of the MCU sets we’ve gotten weren’t really based on those because they include nonsense like flame-thrower Dune buggies and War Machine busters.) To absolutely be pedantic, “primarily” is incorrect; “adjacent” would be the appropriate term in my not-so-humble opinion, since every Spider-Man set and related minifig ever has been based on either a cartoon or video game. I can prove that with multiple examples from Doctor Doom’s odd inclusion with the Daily Bugle (pulled from his appearance on then-current Ultimate Spider-Man show) to the ‘21 designs of Doc Ock and even the classic Spidey being lifted from Spider-Man PS4. Nowadays TLG seems to just make up new designs, which makes collecting boring for me. If the design looks pulled from the comics, it’s likely because some non-comic media pulled it from there first; thus the comic basis is adjacent, not primary. Hearing news about a buildable Herbie is nice to hear from fan of the FF film, although he was probably fourth on my wishlist, following a FantastiCar, Baxter Building, and literally anything else. Shame that the Spider-Man BND sets sound so overpriced. It’s especially jarring after the moderate to great pricing of the January wave, that I wonder why. Just two sets is also a step down from previous years’ movie waves. LEGO MCU sets don’t have to be on a decline like this. The Marvel AC might be a lock for me this year—although the Star Wars one is making some heavy competition for me. Advent Calenders (at least for LSW) tend to not reuse figures from sets past July 31st, i.e. no summer or fall wave sets. (This is beside holiday-themed figures.) Now, yes, LSW Advents in particular have featured exclusive non-holiday characters before, but it’s been seven years since the last time that happened (2019) so I find that possibility present but unlikely. Thus, that would mean that some comic set involving Doom is on the table… perhaps the alleged Doomsday sets allegedly releasing in the alleged June will be comic Avenger sets? Perhaps sets originally developed for an earlier version of Doomsday which had to be scrapped, until Marvel Studios pushed back the film, giving opportunity to redevelop and release those sets? However, I wouldn’t get too excited for other comic characters just yet. We already have a generic Iron Man, Black Panther, Cap’n America, and Hulk to fill out any set’s roster. Maybe a new Thor? Of course, the set with comics Doom could just as easily be a buildable Doom. I’m not so sure about that, though; the buildable Iron Man seemed more organically made, or at least carefully curated than even the SW buildable helmets. I can’t see any more buildable characters this year besides Spider-Man (already rumored) or Venom (who had the next buildable bust after Iron Man). Doom does make sense if you connect those dots so, but again, I don’t completely buy that theory. TL;DR I believe at least one comic playset with Doom is on the table. I don’t expect anything more as of now, though. Edited February 19 by Swordy Quote

And while you are correct that we’ve gotten minifigures based on other media in these sets, most notably the ‘21 Doc Ock which is clearly inspired by the video games, it’s simply untrue that every minifigure in these Spider-Man sets has been based on video game or cartoon appearances. It wouldn’t even be fair to say the majority of them are. Take, for example the Doc Ock minifigures we got in 2014 and 2016. Both of those designs are ripped straight out of comic, but that specific design has not been used in any other media. Same with the 2016 Vulture, Kraven, Hobgoblin, and Scorpion minifigures. 2020 Mysterio is also distinct from his animated and videogame counterparts, but dead on for his comic book appearance. As are 2016 Green Goblin and 2025 Kraven and Hobgoblin. Ultimate Spider-Woman hadn’t appeared in anything except comics when we got her in 2016. And moving on from just Spider-Man, we’ve got Storm, Wolverine, and Cyclops from the 2014 Blackbird set. I can’t think of a single cartoon before X-Men ‘97 that has used those specific designs and I doubt Lego designers made sets based on a show that came out 9 years later. Or what about Red She-Hulk? The character has barely had any appearances outside of the comics with her most notable appearance being in the Lego Marvel Super Heroes video game. Unless you really want to argue that a Lego videogame that took its design from comics is somehow not a comic design. There’s also 2020 Hawkeye who was included in the Avengers videogame wave sporting his comic design instead of his game design. And there are dozen more examples I could pull from such as Iron Spider, Robbie Reyes Ghost Rider, and Julia Carpenter Spider Woman to name just a few where their appearances outside of comics are so few and sometimes even obscure that I find it hard to believe those were the inspiration for their minifigure designs.

I would add that I think it's unlikely buildable doom is ONLY in a buildable character and the calendar- including someone exclusive to a likely $130+ set in a $45 set just a few months later feels uncharacteristically generous. @CloneCommando99's talked about a doom mech a lot, and given those are pretty much always comic based (or whatever you want to call them- I don't have a horse in that race), that would be a good spot for him to show up.

About that.... the consensus from the leakers at this point seems to be- Hide contents well... you- Jean Grey , though I personally hope that's not true. There's enough going on in this movie already, and I would also much prefer if Hide contents Secret Wars is what causes Mutants, rather than them having been around this whole time. It seemed to do well for an animated show but from what I'm seeing it didn't reach the viewership even Echo had. Especially given that it falls into somewhat of a niche where there are still plenty of adults who don't watch animated content, and yet it was clearly marketed to adults rather than kids, I can understand lego not making more sets directly based on the show. That said, they're still the X-men. Wolverine at the least should be popular enough to get more comic sets from, and you can always throw some X-men into a Wolverine Car or whatever.... or make some sets based on a massively popular game that prominently features a number of X-men... I've heard that rumor too. I wouldn't mind it but it seems random to insert in a Spider-Man movie. But based on how they're filming the X-Men film soon, I can see them sprinkling certain characters in earlier movies. Animated shows in general don't get much views compared to the live-action ones. I think X-Men '97 was on par with S1 of What If? So even the lowest watched live-action shows, like Echo, will have exponentially more viewership than the highest-rated animated shows. Also the show was based entirely on nostalgia for the 90s show and it was way too esoteric for any small kids, who aren't familiar with the X-Men, to watch and become fans. So I can see why the Lego sets catered to adult collectors. Wolverine has the Insomniac game coming out which makes me hope Lego will at least make some sets featuring him to "tie-in" with the game even without being officially based on the game. There should be quite a few major X-Men characters in the game listed below. Spoiler Jean Grey, Sabretooth, Mystique, Lady Deathstrike, Omega Red, Mr. Sinister, Forge, Callisto, etc. On 2/16/2026 at 6:16 AM, psqidexslizer said: Yeah, it’s disappointing and kind of surprising given X-Men ‘97 seemed to be popular enough to warrant a third season being immediately greenlit. And I desperately want to fill out the X-Men roster and give them someone to fight who isn’t named Magneto. But I think it’s becoming increasingly clear that super heroes in general are not selling as well as they once did. It used to be we’d get sets for every new MCU movie, waves of Batman and friends sets, and the occasional comic set. Now we’re reduced to Spider-Man (the only hero who actually seems to sell), MCU Legacy, and Batmobiles based on older movies. I think the only hope for the theme moving forward is if the DCU takes off or Doomsday and Secret Wars are able to revive the MCU. Other than that, I think our best hope for comic based versions of anyone is if they get snuck into Spider-Man sets. I guess it was popular enough for Disney+ in terms of animated show viewership but that didn't translate to sales for toys or Lego sets. Spider-Man and Batman seem to be the only two really marketable superheroes left. Not sure if even the MCU Phase 1-3 movies will be popular for Lego in the next generation, the way Harry Potter and LOTR remain evergreen franchises. 9 hours ago, Swordy said: SHearing news about a buildable Herbie is nice to hear from fan of the FF film, although he was probably fourth on my wishlist, following a FantastiCar, Baxter Building, and literally anything else.

Ah. Upon further research, I will concede a lot of what I said. I was under a long held twisted belief that the Ultimate Spider-Man cartoon and 2017 Spider-Man show had showcased Silver Age designs of Spidey’s rogues. (I do know a lot of comic Avengers sets came from the Earth’s Mightiest/Avengers Assemble cartoons, so I had assumed the same was so for Spider-Man.) Below are a couple rebuffets, but I do realize the majority of my claim is untrue, as you say, so thank you for clearing that up. 2020 Mysterio is like his modern comic appearance, sure, but also like the Ultimate Spider-Man version. The reason I believe that Mysterio was given a comic-accurate appearance is because the PS4 game hadn’t invented a design for him, as with Green Goblin. For at least Wolverine, he did show up in Ultimate Spider-Man sporting that design. Plus it was the design teased at the end of The Wolverine (2013) if I recall, so it’s possible that TLG was taking the lead on that. I presume that the rest of the designs came afterward because they are part of the same comic era. (By the way, today I learned that the original Wolverine from the Deadpool-copter came from X-Men: Evolution, it seems.) Robbie Reyes Ghost Rider is a reference to Agents of Shield, obviously. After all, we know a lot of kids were watching a TV-14 ABC show and said, “Mom, in five years I want a LEGO Ghost Rider that drives a car.” (I am so deep into AoS now… it’s already in my signature; next thing I know, I’ll reference it in every post of mine.) Julia Carpenter was probably a Madam Web reference—which goes back to my earlier point of TLG taking the lead from poorly-received movies. Iron Spider was a seperate character in his first set, and pulled from Ultimate Spider-Man; the later sets were either references to that concept or a reuse in the hall of armor for Spider-Man.

Maybe a Doom jet—a reskin of the Sabra jet? Maybe as part of a Black Panther car and Iron Man glider set?

I remember reading that Sony wanted SM4 to be another multiverse film after the massive success of NWH but Disney wanted it to be a more traditional Spider-Man film, to really establish him as a street hero. But considering it's the lead-in film to Doomsday, I can't see them avoiding the multiverse. It seems like they'll double down on that. I'm partial to the bathtub version of the Fantasticar. Really wish we could get an official comic set of that. I actually have a birthday cake topper of it from way back when the 2005 movie came out. Quote

Now just don't look up the panels where the asgardian gods put Khonshu in "god jail" and he's just straight up sitting behind bars. MK's friends/brother through khonshu/his actual villain henchman/the catgirl black panther sent to pretend to be his girlfriend as a psyop/one of the wrecking crew (Marc himself was dead at the time, you see) had to break him out with a literal crowbar. I'll consider it but Jason's my favorite robin, he might have a point in destroying the aslume. That's a good point, we generally get hero stuff over villain stuff, but we do get exceptions for characters like Venom (who lego does consider a villain in their sets) and Thanos.

They're not very strong as a brand anymore, let alone as individuals. That being said, Thanos only got A-List popularity because he was well received in Infinity War. We'll have to see if audiences accept Doom in Doomsday or not because if the character fails to resonate, then I can see that hurting chances for more solo merch of him. I wonder if the Morbius set sold well or not. It was one of the cheaper sets and an easy way to pick up a new character, that too one that was teased in the Daily Bugle set, so I feel like it would have done well with its price point. Quote

Oh, I didn’t see your response there But yeah, we’re back to square one. It was good having hope for 5 mins, but it seems like the Black Friday set is going to be Godzilla instead of superheroes themed (source: Tandnbricks) Quote

Is is true that you also can't confirm or deny Modular Oscorp (With Kaine, Daredevil, Moon Knight, Luna Snow), a Rivals wave, and a $700 life-sized Morbius bust?

That being said, Thanos only got A-List popularity because he was well received in Infinity War. We'll have to see if audiences accept Doom in Doomsday or not because if the character fails to resonate, then I can see that hurting chances for more solo merch of him. I wonder if the Morbius set sold well or not. It was one of the cheaper sets and an easy way to pick up a new character, that too one that was teased in the Daily Bugle set, so I feel like it would have done well with its price point. That's true, but we have had other villain mechs. Maybe it'd be a two-pack the way it was for Goblin and Ock, (Which I guess puts us back in the same spot- so maybe a new Cap or Thor mech? They've been gone for awhile and we've seen others remade.) Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure it performed poorly- at least around me, as I said, it was over 50% off within a year or so. It comes down to a few things- I suspect Miles vehicles aren't generally as popular as Peter ones, for one, and while the cars seem to do just fine, the cars following this started including a third minifigure. (And while we've gone back to two now, it was also with a significant price drop- even below what the morbmobile cost at retail, much less nowadays. And the second figure is a combination of two very popular characters rather than... Morbius) And Morbius is not any sort of draw for the general audience. He's hilarious and I love that lego gave us one in such a cheap set. He's prominently displayed in my spider-man display. The character even has some sentimental significance to me- but to 99% of prospective set buyers Morbius is a somewhat generic looking nobody as far as spidey villains go.

Maybe, I'm not sure who they'd pair Doom with though. Good theory about Miles vehicles compared to Peter ones. And I agree that Morbius isn't enough of a draw to sell a set on his own. He's not a household name and his movie didn't make any traction with general audiences/consumers, which is even more evident by the fact that the re-release of the movie tanked despite the so-called hype of the memes. I'm guessing this is also why the minifigure wasn't recycled in other sets since then, whereas Goblin, Doc Ock, Venom, etc. appear in multiple sets every year. Quote

Maybe 76352 could be the New Avengers Tower? Also, it is confirmed that the Buildable H.E.R.B.I.E will be 76339, and will be $74.99 with 747 pieces. Quote
psqidexslizer Posted Thursday at 05:36 PM Posted Thursday at 05:36 PM Interesting, so 76345 is still an unknown. Probably Doomsday, but it’s odd it’s not leaking aside these others. I’m guessing 76352 is gonna be an X-Mansion mini modular. Quote

It’d work out to have a sorta-Avengers Tower for the mini modular line while also tying into the new movie. If large panels and such are included too, it’d help make sense of the 534 piece count. Alternatively, it could be the Baxter Building. All of these releasing in October implies they’re Doomsday/Infinity Saga that heavily tie into the movie. Hopefully more are coming, because getting two display sets and one very overpriced mini-modular doesn’t impress me for an initial wave. 3 hours ago, Darth Phallus said: 76347 vehicle display based set 59,99$ october 2026 Imagine if it’s the Red Guardian Limo that—fittingly—arrives a year and a half late.
