Mark 46, mark 6, Iron Patriot, Rescue :-O 2025 looks super exciting!!!

Looking forward to updated versions of Iron Patriot and Rescue. Shame the Iron Man figures will be reuses instead of new suits.

Avengers Endgame final battle

At least 7 figures, Falcon (looks like same suit as Avengers Tower), Wasp (same suit as Avengers Tower), Chitauri (at least one), Iron Spider (brand new) and Ant Man (FINALLY a new minifigure). Plus more currently unknown

Builds include lots of portals, terrain and Avengers HQ ruins

(from Exab)

Nice to finally have a regular sized Ant-Man figure after getting the micro version for so long. Hopefully Hawkeye's Ronin costume and War Machine's new suit are among the remaining Endgame figures.

If this is true, then LEGO really likes changing MCU Sam’s wings every single time he appears:

Civil War: new mold

Infinity War: brick-built

CMF: new mold 

Avengers Tower: brick-built (new method)

Brave New World: new mold (presumably) 

I was hoping that the BNW wings would be the same as the CMF ones, but I guess not. Odd. 

I don't mind that they're changing the CMF mold. It always seemed like an odd decision to only articulate the tips of the wings on that figure. Would be nice if the new mold is fully articulated this time.

I hope Ronin is included, also I'll be surprised if Thanos isn't in the set, sounds like a cool diorama, Is it releasing in January 2025 ?

I think that a Malibu Mansion would be cool, but it's a wayyyy less memorable location (at least imo) and has less opportunity for a minifigure lineup besides just more Iron Man suits. Not as many other characters appear there as they do in Asgard, and even disregarding the explicit canon of who has actually been there, there aren't many Iron Man characters who aren't made yet in LEGO

Well tbf, both the Avengers Tower and Sanctum didn't have that many new Characters either, just a bunch of updated ones. Malibu Mansion could easily be filled with updates. Most of these Iron Man suits haven't appeared in ages, Silver Centurion being perhaps the prime example and I'm sure there are still a couple of gaps either way. A new and better Happy is one I think all of us want, Natasha could be included as a civilian. An updated Tony with the arc reactor in his chest like in the original Malibu Mansion. James Rhodes without the War Machine suit.

If they are allowed to throw in characters that didn't necessarily appear in the mansion but are connected to things that happen there they could add in an updated "fake" Mandarin and Aldrich Killian. If they really want to they could even try and work in Harley if not Morgan. Sure, the latter wasn't even alive when the Mansion existed, but the Avengers Tower also got the Wasp and Wong, which have never been there either. But okay, maybe that's a bit too much of a stretch.

For repeat figures they could obviously go with Nick Fury and Pepper, which they could even turn into Extremis serum Pepper if they wanted to. Not counting the suits and the kids, that's already 8 characters. Then if they include the suits that number is gonna go way up. Way more than are even likely to appear in such a set, as it would probably be in between the X-Mansion and Sanctum in terms of size, rather than the Bugle and Tower.

I would also say it's iconic enough to deserve such a set, it's pretty much the key location that carried all the Iron Man movies, if not the entire MCU before it really took off with the first Avengers movie. And LEGO does like their Hall of armors, with now the 4th incarnation already on it's way.

Spring 2025

Spring 2025

Really ? I thought it was January

[hikouki]

I wonder what next year's big Marvel D2C will be?

2021: Daily Bugle

2022: Sanctum Sanctorum

2023: Avengers Tower

2024: X-Mansion

2025: (hopefully non-Avengers, LOL)

[cosmic]

This is all very surprising. Most of the survey leaks have been near identical to their original leak (think Simba or Barad-Dur), so it is very refreshing to see that the X-Mansion has actually done a huge transformation and looks nothing like what it once did in the original leak. Which is so exciting because the survey image was kind of hideous. Sure the image is as blurry as can be, but its enough to show that the design has had an upgrade from what it once was meant to be. Adore the design and the figure lineup is quite exciting as well. Jean Grey is the only person I wanted to get, so her being confirmed is very important for me. Iceman is nice to see but kind of shocking, truly thought we'd get Jubilee or Morph before him. Not mad at it though, overall. this was a very exciting leak for me.

I've yet to see Across the Spiderverse believe it or not, so I still know nothing about the Spot. Just glad we're not getting another Thanos or Goblin. Anti Venom is similarly exciting despite being unfamiliar with him.

And yes I love the Iron Man vs Hulk $15 set. 2 great comic based figs in an affordable set, I think its neat.

 Overall, most of the recent leaks have been swell. My only qualm is I wish we got Giant Man in the upcoming Endgame battle, not a mini fig Ant Man. Also wish we got Iron Patriot over Wasp. The figure lineup that's rumored feels repetitive.

Giant Man is already included in the CW airport battle set, so it’d be redundant to have him in both sets (especially since he’s brickbuilt), and Iron Patriot is rumoured to be included in the upcoming Hall of Armours set

Agreed about the repetitiveness. It feels like we’re getting the same figures over and over again, but at least they’re updated versions

[THELEGOBATMAN]

Anyone else can't help being disappointed that the Civil War set doesn't include all the main characters?

I know that 11 minifigures is a lot to ask from a 100€ set, but I can't help but feel this was the only opportunity to get *the ultimate* Civil War set—a perfect recreation of Team Cap and Team Iron Man having a showdown.

This is one of my biggest problems with this theme, it feels like constant repetitions of the same characters in a very small space of time blocks us from getting many new ones.

Like, instead of doing Endgame, Avengers Assemble, Age of Ultron, Civil War, all in one year, with different figs for the core Avengers for a lot of these sets, focus on one of the major crossover movies per year or two - doing Age of Ultron? Cool. Those designs are THE designs for the Iron Man, Cap, etc. MCU figures for a little while. Then work through the rest of the film's cast (Ultimate Ultron, Quicksilver, Wanda, Strucker, etc). After that's DONE, move on to a different film.

If we only had one MCU version of each of the prominent Avengers in production at a time (at least for legacy films, if there's a brand new one or course make the new suit) I think that'd free up a lot of space in production for other more exciting prints to be made

I completely agree with the pain points about repetitive figures, but to be honest I have little love for legacy sets based on Marvel films that have already been well represented in LEGO form.  All the Avengers films had significant waves upon release with and have since had supplementary sets so I don't fancy revisiting them year after year.  Given a limited number of sets per year, I much prefer the legacy sets on films that did not receive sets upon release, for example the sets based on the first two Iron Man films.  Sets for the first two Thor films or The Incredible Hulk would be great some day!

[Lego Nostalgia]

We still need Infinity War Thanos and Thor with the cape

[BrickBob Studpants]

I really like Ghost’s new helmet from the leaked trailer, hopefully she’ll be included in a Thunderbolts* set next year! Not too sure about Taskmaster’s new gear, but it’s something  US Agent’s new costume would also make for a great minifig. Fingers crossed they don’t decide to skip the movie altogether though!

Taskmaster's design is similar to the Udon version (I'm not a fan of). I like Ghost's mask, but I don't like how it contrasts with the rest of the costume.

Very excited and hopeful for US Agent, Alexei, and Yelena.

I do hope we get sets, but with Exabricks detailing all these new Spring sets for Marvel, I'm surprised we haven't heard anything yet.

Good point. Since the movie‘s scheduled for May, any potential sets should be released in March  I‘m still hopeful though!

[THELEGOBATMAN]

I'm actually surprisingly excited for this movie. The leaked trailer looks awesome, and it has some of my favourite MCU characters (Walker and Bucky).

The director and screenwriters have actually made some really good stuff too (mainly Beef). The fight coordinator is also a great choice (based on their previous movies)—and if those deliver, the movie will already be better than a lot of recent MCU movies.

As for the sets, I think we might get a small, two-set wave. For example, a 30€ location set with Yelena, Walker and Ghost (representing their first encounter) and a 60€ vehicle set with Bucky, Taskmaster, Red Guardian and Sentry.

Of course, that's just wishful thinking—I could see them making only one set with Yelena, Bucky, Red Guardian and Sentry. But that would be extremely disappointing for an ensemble movie.

Rumour is

The Void in this movie is more like an actual dimension, and the team enter it in the third act, I could see that as a location set if Marvel isn't keeping it secret

Do note that Exabricks doesn't know the set numbers of those sets (or doesn't want to tell us). He just provided descriptions and prices of two Spring sets.

We rarely get descriptions for movie sets, and when we do, they leak much later than ones for regular sets. 

Usually we just get a set number with a name, price and piece count. Some minifigures leak later, but not descriptions.

My point is, Exabricks Marvel Spring leaks are irrelevant to this. We'll know if we're getting sets for this movie when the Spring set numbers leak.

It could be R-Rated so no sets but idk

I wonder what next year's big Marvel D2C will be?

2021: Daily Bugle

2022: Sanctum Sanctorum

2023: Avengers Tower

2024: X-Mansion

2025: (hopefully non-Avengers, LOL)

Another Spidey D2C seems most likely, since the Bugle must be close to the end of its run, although what it could be I don't know. Some people suggest OzCorp tower, but would a villain's lair be iconic enough to stand alongside the Daily Bugle and Avengers Tower? Midtown High is a possibility, as both a classic Spidey location and (I believe) the setting for the upcoming Friendly Neighbourhood cartoon series, but would Lego want to feature Spidey fighting supervillains in a high school setting? The X-Mansion is a school, true, but Midtown High would have a lot more unpowered civilians in harm's way.

My dream would be the Baxter Building, with Spider-Man included to help promote it (and as an excuse to include Peter's Bombastic Bag-Man suit... you know, the one where he wears a spare F4 uniform and a paper bag over his head as a makeshift mask), but 2025 might be too soon for Lego to invest that heavily in an unproven corner of Marvel. Plus, we already have one blue and white NY skyscraper; the classic Baxter Building might be too similar.

I'd love to see somewhere more exotic like Wakanda or Asgard or Knowhere, but would they really fit with the city buildings we've already gotten? Another American building like Iron Man's Malibu mansion seems more likely, since (as we've seen) Marvel is more than happy to return to the RDJ well. Avengers Compound (not destroyed, for once) or a comics-accurate Avengers Mansion are possible, as is the SHIELD Triskelion, as iconic and striking buildings associated with lots of popular characters.

I'd guess Spider-Man or Iron Man will be the basis of the next D2C... which almost certainly means that I'm utterly wrong! Unless someone wants to leak the latest Lego survey prelims again, I'll just have to wait and see.

Exactly, it's not time to get worried yet. We barely know anything about most of the March sets except for a small handful of Marvel and Star Wars sets, none of which even have numbers yet, as you correctly point out.

[poisonbricks]

I honestly think just an NYC apartment building could make for a very fun D2C location - Peter's apartment, Nelson+Murdock, Alias Investigations, I'm sure there's a lot of ways to fill in the floors 

Plus, it'd be appealing to non-Marvel fans too

I think an Iron-Man themed building would be great! The main character is popular enough to stand alone without the help of a new movie or streaming series. I would like a Fantastic Four building, too but you are right about it possibly not being popular enough without a new movie.

Like others have said, it's too early for all the spring sets details to be revealed. Also, Thunderbolts I think would have like 1-2 sets, not a full blown wave or anything. 

I feel like when it comes to Thunderbolts, I'm thinking 2 sets: 

A $35 set, with Yelena, Bob, and Red Guardian

A $80 set, with Yelena, Bob, US Agent, Ghost, Taskmaster 

Rumors are that Bucky has a VERY minimal role in the film. 

As for the figures in the Hall of Armor #4, and Endgame Final Battle #4:

I feel like the 2 other figures in the 2025 Hall of Armor set are Aldrich Killian and Iron Man Mark 42, since the set seems to be Iron Man 3 based (even though Rescue is there, but I guess that's similar to how the Mark 85 suit was in an Iron Man 2 based set_

The other 2 figures in the 2025 Endgame Final Battle set I feel are Thanos (probably a reuse from the A-Force set last year) and Rescue (reuse from next year's Hall of Armor).

I don't have high hopes for the Triskelion ever happening. Its not an iconic location and SHIELD is much more closely associated with the Helicarrier as its base of operations. The architecture of the building would also make it difficult to pull off as a modular. Either the exterior gets a larger than normal footprint or the interior rooms are too small and cramped to do anything with.

I can't see the Avengers Compound happening either while the Avengers Tower is still on shelves. The Avengers Mansion seems even less likely as it conflicts with both the tower and the X-Mansion.

I like the NYC idea. It would be a great way to cover a variety of different street heroes. Although rather than a single apartment building I'd probably go more for a collection of different establishments like Assembly Square.

I'd love a Malibu Mansion modular. I think 2028 could be a good year for one as it would be the perfect celebration for the 20th anniversary of Iron Man's first film.

Someone also brought up a good point earlier about the Fantastic Four being confirmed to appear in both upcoming Avengers films. Knowing they're going to be prominent on the big screen for the next 3 years does give Lego a much more flexible time frame for releasing a potential Baxter Building instead of trying to force it out next year.

I still think Superman is a more likely candidate for the next modular building than another Spider-Man one is. If DC does get the next modular then a Helicarrier remake would be a good alternative for Marvel's yearly D2C spot.
