New X-Men Fortnite figures. That Cyclops hurts my soul.

If you'd want a second DC option, I think a Hall of Justice could also do well - and, open the door to more characters than just those who are Superman-adjacent.

That being said, i do think that a Baxter Building will probably be coming in the next couple years. The big Sanctum Sanctorum D2C is loosely based off of Multiverse of Madness (a movie which only did okay as far as MCU standards go) with a few other characters thrown in, and I think the upcoming Fantastic Four movie will do at least as well as that movie. At the very least, I'm sure someone working at Lego is testing out prototypes for it and waiting to see how the movie goes before they fully greenlight the project.

We’ve officially talked more about Lego DC here than over on the actual DC thread.

According to mtdbricks, the Venom car set includes Spider-man, Spider-Gwen, and Venom, likely all reused figures  It‘s not like anyone expected much out of this one

I personally think that given the options I can think of, a DC one with the Daily Planet makes the most sense (Oscorp is ANOTHER Spider-Man thing, the F4 are essentially untested in merchandising in the last ten years so I can't see a Baxter Building) 

Spider-Man sells, and it's been years since the Bugle. Out of the marvel D2Cs they've done, I only own the Bugle, and Oscorp is the only one that'd be 100% a buy from me. I still think Oscorp is the most likely modular for next year.

As for DC, I think Arkham will come before a Daily Planet. For whatever reason, DC seems to only have faith in batman, but even if we say the superman movie does well, I still think Arkham would sell significantly better. They might have a Daily Planet prototype sitting on a shelf somewhere, but I don't think they pull the trigger on production until they see how Superman 2025 does. And like I said, I think we still see an Arkham first.

I know "MCU Lego city" is a big driver for D2C collectors but there are some great opportunities for non-city D2Cs. Asgard is the obvious one but the fact that Mt Bashenga with the giant panther hasn't been done is an actual travesty

I don't know how well either of these would do. I think with marvel, you have to go with the real heavy-hitters, and I'm not sure that Thor alone or BP alone would save it. Asgard's been in a lot of the movies at this point, so if it was movie-based it might do OK, but I can't see Mt Bashenga doing super well, unless they based it partly on Infinity War or something.

The X-Jet is, somehow, $85. How could we not get those legs on the Cyclops in that set?

To be fair, why would you expect that thread to discuss lego DC?

This is the Spider-Man car just again- Norman got disgusted by the lack of ideas and flew away.

Why does Venom have a car in NYC? How can he afford a car on a reporter’s salary? Didn’t he get laid off? Is J Jonah Jameson and/or Norman Osborn just giving out free money to anyone who promises to beat up Spider-Man? 🤔

Could just be my interpretation of it, I have zero market research on this, but:

With a line of sets like the Marvel modulars, I think that a big part of the appeal is having different areas of the Marvel universe represented, if that makes sense? Bugle is the Spidey stuff, Sanctum is the mystic arts, Avengers Tower obviously is Avengers, then Mansion for X-Men

I'm also assuming that a decent chunk of sales isn't *necessarily* from Marvel superfans, just people who like the characters on a pretty average level and think some representation of them in their cities is cool

That being said, I'm not really sure how well Oscorp would do? Either you go silly with it and make it all black and green and purple and very cartoonishly villainous, or you get ANOTHER big gray Spider-Man skyscraper. I'd eat it up, but I'm not sure how appealing either of those options are to less diehard Spidey fans - and honestly, I think I'd be a fair bit less invested in getting it straight away than something representing the F4, or another corner of the universe. I think Marvel fans on more of a budget might also find it hard to justify getting another Spidey building if they already have the Bugle (which I don't think is retiring until the end of 2025 now?) 

Again, all just my own takes on it, and I could be wrong, Oscorp could be a total slam dunk, but that's why I personally don't think it's super likely

Agreed on Arkham being more likely. Another possible factor could be that the Bugle is still available (seemingly until the end of 2025), so if they made the Daily Planet, then that would be two superhero news-based skyscrapers. Sure, they have different characters and one has a globe on top, but the interiors are likely to be repetitive. 
 

Oscorp Tower could make sense with the perceived pattern of skyscraper D2Cs in odd years and non-skycrapers in even years. Like the other skyscrapers, many of the minifigures who would be in the set are available at the same time, which bodes well, as the others had multiple reuses. Then again, that’s using “patterns” to predict, so maybe not.

If I drank a shot of whiskey everytime a new car made for superheroes and villains THAT DON'T NEED THEM TO GET AROUND NEW YORK CITY, I'd have stage 4 liver failure.

AND WHAT'S WORSE IS THAT WE KEEP GETTING THE SAME REUSED VENOM. You'll find more sanity in the DC Thread than Lego's Boardroom talks for new sets and ideas.

Miles Morales Car,Spider-Man Car,Venom Car, WHATS NEXT ? A HULK CAR ? A THOR CAR ? A GREEN GOBLIN MOBILE ? , I can see it now, a Doc Ock Car with 4 tentacles sticking out, I'm going crazy right now, Please no more mechs or cars just dioramas,playsets,ucs models and minifigure series, is it that hard.

Jubilee looks amazing! I know those Fortnite designs are exclusive to the game but I'd love to see a figure of her with that level of detail in the next CMF series. I also think that minifigure design for Colossus works far better than the big figure does from the Lego Marvel video game. He's big but he's not Hulk sized. The shoulder pads do help in giving him that extra height.

I'd love an Oscorp modular but at the moment I'm not seeing anything indicating as to why its the most likely option for next year outside of fans wishing it to happen.

In regards to DC Batman is always going to outsell Superman no matter what. There is no doubt of that. Its why if we were to get a hypothetical Daily Planet set it makes more sense to do it alongside the release of a new movie while public interest in the character is at it at an all time high. More interest = more sales. Its the reason why the Sanctum Sanctorum was released alongside Multiverse of Madness and didn't come out a year or two later after the Avengers Tower. Certain brands need the cross media synergy to maintain consumer interest.

As for the other two I think Asgard stands a chance at happening some day as its arguably the second most iconic location in the MCU following the Avengers Tower, but I can't really see Mt Bashenga getting a D2C set. Outside of the panther statue there's not a lot that makes the location stand out visually and would probably require a lot of creative liberties that mixes and matches other parts of Wakanda.

I don't think any overlap would matter that much. The next superhero modular won't be out until at least mid year at the earliest. If Lego sticks with the November release date that the Avengers Tower and X-Mansion have then you'd be lucky to even find the Bugle left in stock by that point.

It's becoming a joke how useless the actual Cyclops minifigure is but how Marvel always delivers whenever it comes to his video game designs, between Fortnite and the first Lego Marvel Superheroes game. He absolutely needs those legs.

Jubilee looks incredible and I'm actually rooting for her to not be in the X-Mansion because if she is included, she's not going to look like that. She'll have maybe 10% of that level of detail. She needs to be a CMF figure all the way.

Colossus looks great and I'm hoping he's another surprise character in the X-Mansion like Iceman.

Out of the Marvel D2Cs, I've only bothered with the Bugle as well since I prefer the comic sets over the MCU ones. Oscorp would be a must for me too.

DC's emphasis has always been Batman and the Joker. There's a reason all their expensive sets are Batman themed, whether they're based off the Burton movies or the 90s show. I don't see them investing that much money into a D2C Superman set, because iconic as Superman is, he isn't a guaranteed best-seller who can sustain a theme by himself. I don't see Superman getting any anniversary or legacy sets like Batman does, so a new film that could be rejected by audiences as previous Superman films have, doesn't seem likely.

This is the same reason why I doubt we'll get a Baxter Building next year. The Fantastic Four are not a cinematic proven property and haven't been relevant in decades. With the MCU on a downward spiral, there's no guarantee if the movie will be a hit. This isn't like the MCU's golden years and it should be noted that even then, Marvel didn't introduce Avengers Tower or Sanctum Sanctorum. They could easily have made Avengers Tower into a D2C set during the hype of Infinity War/Endgame but they waited years later. The Sanctum Sanctorum didn't get a D2C set until after it had already featured in so many blockbuster films. No way the Baxter Building gets a D2C set with only one movie in the works. At most, we'll get a playline set for it like we got several Avengers Towers and Sanctum Sanctorums before their D2C versions. If the FF property is successful, I can see a D2C Baxter Building much later on, around the time of Secret Wars.

I think Asgard could potentially have a shot but I don't think it's guaranteed either. As prominent as it is in the MCU movies, Lego hasn't really made much effort into making sets on Asgard. We might get a lot of Thor sets but they rarely involve Asgard's scenery and palace design, which seems to indicate they don't think that would be very popular with consumers.

I believe JJJ has actively done this exact thing. Arguably in the "all spider man villains come out of oscorp" universes, like Spectacular, you could say Norman's doing a similar thing.

Assumably, if variety is what sold, we'd have sets with characters besides batman, and the main focus of the marvel sets wouldn't be spider-man and the avengers from the movies (whether or not the figure designs are film based). 

I've always just assumed Oscorp would be a black skyscraper with a bit of a spire going on at the top. Nothing cartoonish, but something that'd stand out a fair bit among the other ones.

As for just people who like the characters on an average level, the F4 really are at a low point popularity wise. I'd wager 90% of people who like them enough to spend hundreds of dollars on a set based on them would probably also be down for another spider-man related building, while on the flipside, there's a large amount of people who'd buy a spider-man set that don't have any sort of attachment to the F4.

Exactly. Superman and the Fantastic Four are both currently suffering from being at low points in their popularity, I don't see lego making massive D2Cs on those without seeing how the films do first, especially since some previous superhero D2Cs recently have flopped hard. (I routinely see that hulkbuster for 30-40% off, and I still don't want to pull the trigger, even with Ransom Fern's incredible alt-build. To say nothing of the BP head-and-forearms, which was just a bad concept in general). My money'll be on Arkham or Oscorp.

[wesker]

The irony is people were saying this exact same thing a couple years ago about how a D2C X-Mansion was never going to happen.

X-Men sets don't sell. Their popularity is at a low point. People only care about Spider-Man and the Avengers now. They will never get a D2C until a full MCU movie reboot with a brand new cast happens first. X-Men characters aren't household names. Wolverine is associated with R rated content now. The last few X-Men movies flopped. Lego will never make a set based on a cartoon. Every excuse in the book was thrown out against them and yet here we are with a modular X-Mansion just 3 months away from release. No waiting to "prove themselves" with multiple MCU appearances or releasing a small play scale X-Mansion to test the waters first. We're heading straight for a D2C modular building.

Moments like this is why I would rather keep an open mind towards the future instead of writing off every possibility that doesn't fall under Batman, Spider-Man or the MCU.

Reversal of roles - and now DC is reduced to a few Batman releases. LOL

[DaredevilFan]

I feel like Avengers compound is most likely the next one. Lego can reuse figures from the diorama from last year, as well as ones from the portal set next year. It seems they like to reuse minifigs from previous sets when making the Modular’s. Also sets from endgame seem to be popular. I would love a compound build with some more portals to recreate the final fight. Maybe a second build could be Thanos’ ship. Throw in some exclusives like iron patriot mark 2, Hawkeye, thanos with a new helmet

I really don't think they'd even try this 

As far as I'm aware, LEGO Marvel and DC still share their budget

There's also a LOT of crossover between Superhero fanbases, to the point that one of these sets would most likely cannibalise the sales of the other, because being real, most people don't have like a thousand dollars to drop on both in the same year.

I'm not even so confident in the idea of the Daily Planet by itself anymore - the Bugle is meant to retire by the end of 2025, so two superhero news buildings on shelves simultaneously feels like a bad move

Fair point.

Assuming we get modular every year, here would be my bets.

 

2025: Daily Planet

1) Superman is still iconic and people want a Daily Planet

2) Superman (2025) releasing makes it the perfect time to capitalize on Superman merchandise

3) Superman Legacy has a large cast of named characters, unlike Fantastic Four which doesn’t

4) Superman has a better track record than Fantastic Four (the bar is in hell), and is the safer bet.

5) The Daily Bugle will be retiring and The Daily Planet can both take its place and is distinct enough not to cannibalize its sale IMO.

 

2026: Arkham Asylum

Batman is gonna sell. Releasing a modular alongside his next movie is a no brainer. Arkham makes the most sense for a Batman modular.

 

2027: Baxter Building

We know the Fantastic Four are gonna be in both Avengers films, I assume their building will be too. Their film doesn’t have a large enough cast to support a large modular, but once you start throwing in all the Avengers characters, you can end up with plenty of options. Secret Wars is probably gonna be the bigger of the two Avengers films, so it makes sense to release it alongside that.

Modular Joker head.

Like, literally an enormous buildable Joker head. You can open his mouth to reveal an entrance (to where? no idea). All on a modular plate of course.

You jonkle, but this could actually be a really cool and creative set (I can see features like a tongue-slide and spring-shooter eyes)! Also, this would not be the first villain headquarters!

According to exabricks, these 9 minifigs are included (perhaps more):

• Wolverine (reused)
• Gambit
• Storm (new hairpiece)
• Cyclops (printed legs)
• Jean
• Iceman
• Bishop
• Rogue (reused)
• Xavier

Looking at the (now-removed) leaked images (both the desaturated and oversaturated ones), I can see: 
 - Wolverine on the motorcycle in the bottom left corner; seems to be a reuse of the X-Jet version, as he has solid blue legs. 
 - Rogue in the front steps of the mansion (also seems to be a reuse). 
 - Xavier on the mansion’s balcony. 
 - Gambit in the top left, attacking the roof. 
 - Storm (with ‘92 hair) in the top right corner. 
 - Cyclops on the bottom, in front of the mansion to the right of Rogue; I cannot tell if he has printed legs or not, though they are sadly not dual-moulded. 
I am not seeing Jean, Iceman, or Bishop anywhere, and what looks like classic Magneto is floating directly below Storm; also, I feel like there should be an enemy above the mansion, in order to give Gambit something to fight. 

Overall, Iceman instead of Morph is a surprise, since Morph can reuse Scott’s printed legs, and the lack of Beast is very strange (as his lab is an essential part of the interior!). I am also not sure why LEGO did not include the X-Jet Magneto if they were not making his classic costume; nine Minifigs in a $300+ set is disappointingly low (especially since many are already reuses!), and this version is not even popular enough to be an X-Jet exclusive (Rogue would have been a better choice for that). 
Hopefully we have another Sanctum situation on our hands, and there are a few characters missing from the front box art.

Hot take, but I actually am not a fan of this design for her. The issue for me is specifically her hair (torso, arm, and dual-moulded leg printing are obviously a must), as her sunglasses are really oversized and look more like goggles! I would prefer to see them printed on her head, especially since that would allow her to wear them - Maybe one side has her sunglasses down and a small smirk, while the other has them up with a large smile?

This one feels definitely overdue. They've made Arkham Asylums as playsets already, and people often also ask for a Wayne Manor but that's a lot harder to make interesting (unless you add the full Batcave) and Arkham Asylum is perfect for a 'modular' D2C.

The irony is people were saying this exact same thing a couple years ago about how a D2C X-Mansion was never going to happen.

Guilty as charged, as I was one of those people  That‘s why I‘m not ruling out any of the 3 currently popular options  Not repeating that mistake! 

That said, I totally expect TLG to throw us a curveball and release something out of left field as the next big SH D2C.
