I'd only be interested in an Avengers CMF if all the minifigures included were based on the comics. The colorful costumes are at least different enough from the films to keep the main heroes interesting and it would also provide a wider selection of interesting villains to pick from. The MCU has already been done to death in the sets themselves that a CMF series wouldn't be bringing much new to the table. X-Men has a gold mine of iconic characters to pick from that its frustrating to see Lego drip feed them at such a slow pace. I really hope that changes over the coming years. I'm definitely in favor of the next CMF series ditching the Disney+ shows altogether and focusing exclusively on the X-Men. Last I heard Marvel Zombies was also intended to be TV-MA. Unfortunately it sounds like they also plan on going through with Iron Heart and Wonder Man instead of cutting their loses.

The Helicarrier definitely seems like something they would remake in the near future but I don't think it would replace the big location D2C. I think it's more likely to be a separate release like the UCS Hulkbuster was to the Sanctum Sanctorum. One option could be to double up on the main characters depicting both their human forms and using their powers. That would give the set a decent number of minifigures while getting around the relatively small cast. Depends on the direction the next Spider-Man movie takes. If it does incorporate Daredevil and Kingpin as rumors have suggested then some of those locations could be safe to release as the characters would no longer be associated with just the Netflix shows. I think Nelson and Murdoch could pair quite well with Spider-Man's apartment (not just as a modular but even as a reimagining of 76108 replacing the Sanctum) Good call on Iceman, Spider-Woman, Elektra and Bullseye. There's a lot they could do with an Oscorp set. Harry and Norman Osborn would be good inclusions as well since we haven't had either of them in a set since the original Spider-Man line from 2003-2004. One thing I'd really love to see are classic variants of Electro, Rhino, Shocker and Lizard. I'm surprised none of them have happened yet. Kraven and Scorpion could probably do with another release as well.

I'm going with either the Daily Planet or Baxter Building. It makes more sense to release those while Superman and Fantastic Four are in the public eye by capitalizing on the hype for their upcoming films. I don't think we'll get both sets released in the same year but they are the two most relevant options to pick from for 2025. Spider-Man is different where he doesn't need the outside media support like other superheroes do. An Oscorp set could be released at any point and it will sell well regardless. Its why I think that one is more likely to be saved later for a quieter year.

From what I understand Brick Reporter isn't actually a leaker. Just somebody that reposts news and rumors that originate from other accounts and passing it off as his own. I'd wait for a more credible source with a proven track record like BrickClicker or mtdbricks.

Hopefully its Zam. While I'd prefer seeing her included in a Bounty Hunter Pursuit remake I'd still be happy just getting the character alone in an upcoming unrelated set. I'd be disappointed if the illustrator was indicating Thrawn who we already know is supposed to show up in the Peridea set.

Depends on who's in it. 10 minifigures isn't a lot but if they can at least complete the original TAS team with Jean, Gambit, Jubilee and Xavier, possibly with either Classic Magneto or Mr. Sinister thrown in on top I would still consider that as a solid start for the X-Men. Another deciding factor is going to be whether we get anything else in the January wave. Its only two months away from the X-Mansion's release so it won't be a long wait. If we see additional X-Men sets with more new characters then I'm willing to overlook the mansion's low minifigure count.

About time we're getting a Nien Nunb minifigure! I'm surprised they never included him in any of the Resistance sets from the Sequel Trilogy. Still better late than never. The X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter set seems like the most logical spot to include him in.

X-Men 97 spoilers:

Storm and Beast would make the most sense for the final two figures. I can't see Lego keeping those two characters locked behind a CMF blind box that will be discontinued by the time the mansion comes out. I don't think they will exclude Rogue either. Not if they plan on including every other member from the original team in this set. With the X-Jet and X-Mansion being released almost a year apart there wouldn't be much point in holding her back as an exclusive figure either, especially if the jet ends up retiring early next year.

For a GWP the Battle Droid Carrier turned out better than expected. Its not the troop carrier that the 2015 set was but its a nice remake of the original set.

I can live with the inaccurate X-Jet figure only because its such an ugly costume in the show and not something I really want multiple minifigures of. Getting an updated classic costume would be preferable but ultimately I'd rather see Magneto left out entirely and get Mr. Sinister instead since we're REALLY lacking in X-Men villains at the moment.

Hopefully we'll hear something in the coming weeks. We already have the minifigure list for the UCS Sail Barge which is due out in October so updates on the X-Mansion shouldn't be too far behind.

You're not the only one. There's so many Star Wars characters I'd rather be seeing than just endless clones all the time. On top of the ones you've mentioned I'd add: Shmi Skywalker Padme (Theed Battle, Geonosis Droid Factory and Mustafar costumes) C-3PO (TPM and AOTC variants) Nute Gunray (TPM) Rune Haako Dexter Jettster Tion Meddon Wat Tambor Captain Typho Lama Su Mas Amedda and Sly Moore Sabe Jedi Council members (Yaddle, Yarael Poof, Depa Billaba, Adi Gallia, Oppo Rancisis etc) Jocusta Nu Mother Talzin Duchess Satine Admiral Trench Nala Se Dr. Hemlock Cid Nien Nunb Sy Snootles and Droopy McCool Force Ghosts Galen Erso Dryden Vos Emperor Palpatine (TROS) Seventh Sister Cobb Vanth Axe Woves Carson Teva Migs Mayfeld The Client Dr. Pershing Dedra Meero Bix Calleen Kino Loy Black Krrsantan Cad Bane (TBOBF) The Great Mothers Fallen Order cast Unfortunately the excess in new media makes it harder for many of these characters to be made as each year passes.

There's no chance Iron Heart will be getting any sets next year. None of the previous live action MCU shows have had any and this one is being headlined by a character that couldn't even catch on with the audience last time we saw her. Its going to be Echo and The Marvels all over again. The most I can see this show getting is an inclusion in the next Marvel CMF series but that's about it.

I don't think we'll get any big locations from the Hobbit trilogy outside of Bag End potentially including the dwarves. The only two that would really stand a chance of being made are Lake-town and Erebor but neither of them are anywhere near as iconic as the majority of locations seen in the LOTR trilogy. If the theme is successful enough to touch on the Hobbit films I can definitely see a giant brick built Smaug set being on the table.
