Apparently he comes in the Stark Plane set. The Elementals Hydro-Man and Molten Man may have builds similar to Groot from the first Guardians of the Galaxy. A civilian minifigure is also appearing in one of the sets (Either Michelle, Flash or Ned) and there might be a bridge build.

That hasn't been confirmed, it is just speculation

I called my local LEGO Store, and they said they don’t have the Marvel minifigure collection but do know that it’s coming as a gift with purchase in March. We’re sure it’s the1-7?

I mean, we’ll know at midnight regardless

I have absolutely zero insider info, but it seems nuts to me that they'd have this promotion when there are no new Super Heroes sets available for purchase. My guess is that we've either got the wrong dates for the promo period or the set release or both.

And we've still heard nothing about it in Australia.

Very disappointing. Really wish Lego would still show their promos on their monthly calendar instead of this weird mystery trash. 

[Hoth Rebel]

It would make more sense to have this promo next month when the new sets come out, but since we don't get calendar information anymore who knows. Was there even a reliable source about this promotion? I know Brickset reported on it, but they only had The Brick Fan as a source, who says the 'got' the info which doesn't really say anything (they also assume it's to coincide with the Endgame set releases but those come out in april).

This month, tomorrow is March and these have a March 31st street date

Agreed; it makes me hesitant in my purchases rather than prepared and confident. Instead of planning when I’ll buy stuff, I’m reluctant to purchase a set with the idea that I might need to hold off to reach a threshold. 

I only just bought 76115 last week because Target had it for 20% off

Watch them release the sets tomorrow. (I know that's impossible)

i think the promo will be march 31st-april 7th. Seems more reasonable.

I’ve decided to just not purchase anything from LEGO.com or the brand stores until they go back to announcing their promos a month in advance again. This is nonsense. If you buy new sets from almost literally any other retailer when they come out, they’re often 10-20% off, and the savings is enough to offset the cost of purchasing any promos that I actually want off of the aftermarket.

All the Lego Marvel secrecy is going to give me a break down!!!! hoping we get that Bricktober set tomorrow or some type of announcement

It would be the first reasonable thing they’ve done with the Bricktober sets so far!

Amazon France (I think) showed HD pics of the War Machine Buster and the Quinjet sets accidentally. Check #legomarvel

You make a great point. And I agree. I’ve saved about $25 on the Spider-Man wave, hopefully that would be enough for the Marvel minifgure collection (should we still be calling it the Bricktober pack?) a while after LEGO’s released it 

This Amazon leak means that HD pictures are out there. Hopefully the Compound/Hall of Armor are right around the corner, though it makes me suspicious that we keep seeing new and clearer pictures of the same sets over and over...

New pics show just how lackluster Endgame minifigs are! QR suits suck, horrible idea to put all main characters in the same suits, and take away from their unique looks. Overuse of Outriders is annoying, a Chitauri look so plain without leg prints. This is one case when official pics are way more disappointing then  leaked ones.

Personally, I love the team suits. The Chitauri would be better with leg printing but I don’t feel like they need it all that badly. Same with the Outriders. I actually really like the figures in this wave so far

[Bricky Dee Williams]

One thing I do notice on the War Machine mech: it looks like the forearms are built 90 degrees to the top half of the arm, rather than a fully-possible elbow. Is that a first for LEGO mechs?

Me too! I think the Avengers will all look great together in them. And it’s not LEGO’s fault that they aren’t overly detailed, that’s how they’re designed.

^As far as arm and side-leg printing

Wow, that quinjet is incredibly skippable. No exclusive prints except for the Chitauri, mediocre jet build with orange highlights that really don't work, and high price point. Not really worth it. I wouldn't hate having it, so I'll probably wait a year and a half for it to be sold at half price, just like I did with the Flying Fox. Definitely not an instant buy.

War Machine Buster and the Quinjet are on Amazon Italy. I must say, the new Quinjet looks spectacular! Looks like there's a lot of room inside this time round. 

Minifigures are downright disappointing though. Odd choice to give Hawkeye the old standard bow and arrow mould when there's a specialised one that has been used for every release of the character!

I think the same thing, would buy 4-5 quantum suits and replace their heads. That Quinjet looks boring to me (IMO) I'll save up with Armor Room and Compound set.

Hopefully this means that official images for the other 3 sets show up soon.

[SpiderJazz]

So Rocket uses a different color for his shoulder pads and Hawkeye uses Han's face? (sorry if I'm wrong) also which face for Black widow again? It's another SW fig right?

Jyn Erso? Is this correct?

Widow's face seems to be Erso's, and you're right about Hawkeye having young Han's face too.
