At least I can save more for Avengers Tower I guess Tis fine, glad they are helping :P For those keeping track the only unknown sets we are aware of are as follows: 76222 (Likely DC) 76246 76250 rumored to be a Wolverine Helmet. We have about 5 other sets we know the details of that we are waiting to be revealed. Updated List:

NWH set is interesting, but I really don't want repeat figures when they can't even provide the full villain line-up. I may end up bricklinking the new Thanos if it looks good, but yeah, that's a disappointing set. Hopefully the Thanos big fig looks good, needs helmet as a seperate piece this time. Shall wait till June for updated lists, hopefully when at least some things are revealed.

Can you perhaps make it appear online soon'ish :p

To be fair, that gave us a form of Justin Hammer who we did not have along with Agent Coulson's and his car, LOLA. I miss the sorta wild unpredictable nature of those sets, never knowing what we'd get as opposed to just expecting MCU tie-ins and legacy sets with perhaps the occasional D2C.

Apologies, did not realize early catalogue images would count. Shall avoid doing so in future. I doubt the legitimacy a lot primarily due to set 76265 and 76263: 76265: They claim this is a Sovereign ship featuring Gamora, Ayesha, Adam Warlock and Blurp. 76265 has been listed under the DC sets which is why I removed it from the lists and is heavily rumored as a 1989 Batwing. It's possible numbers can change, but it feels like a meme set because people like Blurp. There's also no reason for the delayed release of such a set. 76263: They claim a 66 piece 4+ set as being priced at $24.99 based off Thor's battle with the Destroyer featuring Thor and Jane. This would be a price per piece of $0.379 one of the worst price per piece lego sets. The other predictions such as the Blackbird, Deadpool mech and 76222 being an Aquaman set all feel like guesses rather than anything in concrete.

Yeah, seems like we'll have to wait longer for Marvel reveals.

Shield looks pretty bad, even compared to the Thor's Hammer we got - full stud look just makes it feel unfinished. It's not good enough as a display piece and it looks incredibly fragile so unless you have a mess of technic supports behind it, it's probably going to fall apart easily. Best comment of the thread Venomized Groot reveal? ;) August sets, for reminders: 76249: Venomized Groot ($49.99, 630pcs) 76232: 'Captain Marvel 2' ($89.99, 420pcs) August according to Promobricks 76261: 'NWH Statue Of Liberty Battle' $99.99 (10+, 900 pcs) 76262: Captain America's Shield $199.99 (18+, 3128pcs) 76263: ? (4+, 66 pcs) Brickset 76266: $99.99 (10+,794pcs) Brickset 31209: The Incredible Spider-man ($199.99, 2099pcs) August Venomized Groot I've put here because it's seeming less like a June release at this point. I'd hope we get clarification on 76266 honestly, that's intriguing me more at this point as we at least have a rough idea of the NWH set and it's aspects.

I'm fine with just the NWH set and maybe Avengers Tower being the only Marvel sets that interest me for the rest of the year Would probably make more sense just re-doing the Helicarrier from the first and second film and then people can modify them into the project insight helicarriers if desired.

In terms of new molds are main chances are: Electro's Mask &/or new web pieces, for the NWH set in August Thanos & potentially Thanos' helmet for 76266 if it's based on the Avengers Endgame Final Battle as rumored Granted we don't know if those aspects will necessarily be included, but those are the primary sets to keep an eye on regarding new molds. As for general lack of info, I think at this point because we know most the names and most the sets are movie-based on under higher levels of secrecy due to being D2C's that we'll probably not get as many leaks for a little while. I also think, at least for this year, that what would normally be a June wave has been pushed to August so that could also explain the lack of leak, all the good stuff is later in the year so less likely to be visually leaked at this time.

Hope we get Knuckles, Metal Sonic, Shadow, Rouge, Omega along with Super Sonic and Super Shadow in future waves. Knuckles series is meant to be this year, with writers strike and delays I think it'll wind up being 2024 for the Knuckles series and early 2025 for Sonic 3.

Weird that Lego has to specify the buildable figures as 'Construction figures' when they used to just be 'figures' Lego is taking their time with revealing things, so here's the updated list for May. Updated List: Now that the meme's been done, I think the realistic answer is that the character left with Infinity War/Endgame. What we're getting now is not the character people got attached to and in terms of figure, they can replicate with the head from prior figures. I think it's very much a GotG2 situation where they had a budget and picked one character over another. I would not be surprised if the budget for Marvel themes was lowered due to the underperformance of the films and the set sales which are no doubt impacted by the decreasing popularity of the films.

Bike set is an easy pass, Cap getting shafted again on leg print. The buildable figures look a mess this time around. They kept the shoulder pad solution however the bodies now look rectangular, despite being superheroes based on peak physical form they have no muscular definition when compared to the cheaper Spider-man buildable figure. The posable fingers in concept is neat but in execution look weird, maybe you need like a new hand piece for them to attach to in order to make them feel more natural. The humanoid faces look awkward, it's why Lego should really focus buildable figures primarily on those who are completely masked, in-human or robotic. The failure of the Wolverine mask and brick-built parts emphasizes why it does not translate well to every character and should have always been a selective process. The price increase in insulting, there's no justifying it. I still feel buildable figures are the way forward in regards to certain characters and/or themes such as Bionicle, I could see a very succesful range of these figures from £15-£25, but not here and especially not for £32. These are just £32 shelf-warmers, too expensive for the younger audience and lacking the details for older audiences. Shall probably wait to update list until that reveal. I really don't get why the Marvel theme has took such a steep nosedive in quality though, the start of the year looked promising with legacy sets but now it's just buildable figures and a Groot variant with the only hope being nostalgia focused legacy sets.

Probably doing another update in early May when we will hopefully get visuals and official reveals of the June sets. Updates include: Wolverine Helmet has a potential release date of August 1st Spider-man art set is comic inspired 31209 is now reported to be 'The Amazing Spider-man' instead of 'The Incredible Spider-man' and is comic-inspired Exclusive figure for the visual dictionary is an Iron Man comic variant The only unknown sets we are currently aware of are: 76222 A holdover set from last year and is likely DC 76246 Which we have no info on 76263 A 4+ set in August 76266 In August, rumored to be based on a scene from Avengers Endgame Updated List: Venomized Groot, the two buildable figures and the bike chase set are the only sets we are aware of for June. We'll probably see those officially revealed early May. Last year we had set of the Groot set and the Armory on reveals on May 3rd so can probably expect the same sorta timeline this year :) August sets we sadly are unlikely to see until sometime after mid June, even without Lego CON this year that's still the rough timeline for August set reveals. My hope is that more info will drop on 76266, as if that set is inspired by the Avengers Endgame final battle then hopefully we'd see a new big fig Thanos ideally with a removable helmet which was the main thing missing from his previous release. I'd also hope we get surprised with another set related to NWH containing Lizard or perhaps simply a unique polybag or promotional set that will be used to encourage sales of Avengers Tower in November. Oh and I'm still waiting on the Spider-man head that we should have alongside the Venom & Carnage heads along with more buildable figure villains as at the moment we only have Venom.

5,261 pieces is a lot, but realistically that probably just means it'd be something like below. Even if the focus was primarily on Avengers Tower and not the below section, I don't think they could make a platform strong enough to hold the Quinjet while also still providing a satisfying Avengers Tower at that piece count. I also doubt it'd look good in terms of scale to have an attempted minifigure scale Quinjet on a tower that, while potentially having minifigure scale interior rooms, is going to be scaled down considerably from minifigure scale.

Why? Spider-man is the most popular characters in Marvel and a set with three of them targetting a multi-generational audience is sure to sell well. It's possible there was never plans for 9 figures to begin with and that was just a rumour that got out of hand, but according to Stonewars.de; MJ, Ned and Doctor Strange are not in the set - as such the hope is that the figure quality of the six figures: Tobey, Andrew, Tom, Goblin, Ock, Electro are exceptional to justify the price.
