    Anyone else have distribution issues with a full box of the CMFs? I ordered a box from MinifiguresPlus on Brickset’s forum and ended up with 3 extra Loki’s ‍and missing 2 Sylvie’s and a Sam Wilson Captain America.

    I came here to post the same — received five Loki total and only one Sylvie.


  2. My local Barnes & Noble ha(d) two sealed boxes of the minifigure series behind the counter Friday evening: now, they're listed as not in stock. I'm curious whether they finally got put on display or were purchased outright. I contemplated such; however, I already preordered a box through Minifigures Plus, so I just have to continue waiting patiently . . .


  3. I opened my Daily Bugle after work and quite a number of the minifigure parts have print defects. Most every of the few sets I’ve purchased in the past couple years have had this issue. Before entering my relative dark age in 2017, it would be only the occasional set :sceptic:

    For an adult aimed set such as [the Daily Bugle] we can go obscure (Firestar) and we can go adult (Blade) but for standard retail sets we prefer it if an 8 year old can quickly identify who they are looking at and know what they do, their powers etc.

    So LEGO may not have had faith children would recognize Mysterio before his Far From Home appearance.

    In academia, the wrongful accreditation of sources (i.e. plagiarism) is punishable by immediate expulsion, and above all, morally dishonest:

    I can neither confirm nor deny at this time.

    ...or Spider-Man 2099... or Spider-Gwen. I joke, but it could be the AoS version of Ghost Rider, and then I'd be furious.

    Funny, you joke, but it could be Spider-Gwen or Spider-Man 2099, and then I'd be (a little more than) furious. Suppose only time can tell at this point...
