New pics are kinda mixed bag for me. A-force battle is so disappointing in many ways, reused Okoye, Shuri, Wanda and Cap Marvel. Cool new Valkyrie and Thanos. But no minifig in the set has leg prints!!! Like what’s wrong with Lego?! It’s 2023 and they think no leg prints is somehow ok especially in more expensive sets! The build is predictable bad, but it’s a rubble of Avengers compound, not much can be done here. No way Home final battle is mixed as well. Statue of Liberty head and 3 Spideys looks good, but the villains… like how is that Green goblin so bad?! Doc Ock is not that much better, but at least he has leg prints along with Electro. Dr Strange, Ned and Mj look ok.

So since the a-force set is kinda confirmed now doesn't it seem like classic Lego move to not include 2014 Gamora and 2023 Nebula in the set and instead use repeats of Okoye and Shuri here? I mean we still haven't gotten 2023 Nebula and 2014 Gamora in black outfit was requested since Gotg 1. Perfect opportunity to include them both here, but nope, Lego screwed us over again.

I hope we just get high quality minifigs here. New Iron Man, Hawkeye, Thor, Banner, Wanda, Vision and Quicksilver. And they shouldn’t reuse fat Thor face for AoU Thor as it doesn’t fit him at all.

After watching Guardians 3 a couple of times, I can say Lego really botched the sets and minifigs. When can we discuss sets in spoilery context btw?

If we return to topic of missing characters since High Evolutionary is missing in other companies toy lines as well, I think it's more understandable why Lego didn't even make him(although still disappointing). When it comes to Gamora there's no logical reason here, she was heavily featured in marketing and important character to the story. Someone will inevitably bring budget as reason, but only Adam Warlock has entirely new figure in the wave. All guardians share same torso and leg prints among them, so Lego must have saved money on their design here, as opposed to making 5 entirely new figures to represent each member. I hope I'm wrong but it looks like they just didn't care enough to make Gamora here.

With all this"why High evolutionary wasn't in the sets" discussion why isn't anyone asking "where's Gamora?".

Last time Hawkeye was in the set was 2020. That's 3 years without new minifig(Lego didn't even include him in this year's Quinjet where he would have been a great fit), plus he is the star of the show along with Kate, so it makes sense to include him. Ms Marvel will definitely be in The Marvels set later this year, so no need to worry.

New 4+ set is ok, but minifigs are intriguing. Today has High republic robes on which look slightly cartoony, but still good, but what’s with that face?! Is it reuse of old CW head or completely new one? Regardless it’s easy to swap for standard Yoda head. Padawans look good, but what’s with that strange canister printed on their torsos? Overall good figs, bad builds as expected for 4+ set. For 25$ I’d buy this set for minifigs alone, but not 40$.

Higher quality of new endor Leia and Luke from throne room set leaked. Wow that new hairpiece is so bad on Luke, looks way oversized to the point that I prefer old hairpiece for Luke. New Leia looks good though, although poncho would be preferable option in my opinion.

New Mando set looks great! Bo-Katan figure looks way better than 2021 one. Hopefully she gets new headprint and hairpiece too. As for new darksber while it's better than just 4l bar it's still not great. Pic is poor quality, but it doesn't look like new blade piece has white prints like Darksber should have. Honestly I expected Lego to make Darksaber as one piece with blade and hilt molded together, but oh well.

Yep, same face for both but still leg prints on some random one off characters!!! Lego somehow manages not to give leg prints to named main characters in Marvel theme like Cap, Black Widow or Thor in recent Quinjet.

SW line just got new set revealed where 2 random pirates got new face and full leg prints, where in Marvel theme even named character’s can’t get new face or leg prints. Just ridiculous situation, Marvel line gets no love from Lego.

So the only Mando set that wasn’t revealed yet is mandolorian fighter vs Tie interceptor. Any chance we get some cool minifigs there? If rumors about S3 are true we might see Moff Gideon in new suit this season. Also new Mando helmet looks sick, but I’ve noticed there’s no darksaber in microfighter. Does anyone also think Lego will cheap out again and not make new mold for darksaber?

Since the Marvels set is a disappointment, does it mean it's just 3 buildable figures of Carol, Monica and Kamala? Wouldn't be surprised at this point...

Where did idea that Cmf 2 will also be D+ based came from? Was it confirmed by leakers or just a guess? Tbh I'd prefer Cmf to just be Mcu based not D+ specifically.

Yes, she is a new leader of Ravagers and not a Guardian, but she is an important part of the movie, and should have been included in the sets.

True, but you can reuse Gamoras head from Cmf on Quills minifig from smallest set if you want. Not an excuse for Lego not to make her minifig though.

Well, we never had gotten Black Widow in normal suit from Endgame

It’s not Disney limiting spoilers here. There was never big spoilers about either Antman 3 or GoTG 3 like Endgame or NWH. Marvel showed a lot of footage and infor about both movies at Sdcc in July 2022! So Lego new well in advance how Kang or High evolutionary looked like in movies. Here it looks more like penny pinching and laziness on Legos part.

Actually baby Rocket mold is pre existing piece from Friends line. So we got no new molds for either Lyla or Cosmo.

New GoTG 3 sets are a mixed bag. Builds look good, but minifigs, why Lego does what it does ? Groot has same torso and legs, and just gets armor piece to bulk him up. Even though he is clearly taller than other guardians and there’s longer legs and arms pieces that were reintroduced with Avatar theme. Seems logical for them to use those to make Groot more accurate. As for other minifigs - No helmet for Star-Lord again… Why Lego refuses to reuse old mold for helmet is beyond me. Same torso for all Guardians is boring, even if the piece is well detailed. - Drax has same inaccurate green head, when even James Gunn himself confirmed Draxs skin is grey! - no normal torso for Nebula again - They still haven’t given Mantis figure accurate face print with no pupils - No Gamora or High Evolutionary minifigs!!! 2 important characters and Lego refused to make them even though their looks were revealed back in July 2022 at Sdcc. So overall disappointing wave of sets, Lego continues to cut corners to save pennies. It seems like Harry Potter and Star Wars themes get preferential treatment over Marvel for whatever reason.

Well this set is somehow terrible a good at the same time. The build for Giant-man is good, but I'm baffled by decision of Lego not to make any minifigs for Qantumania. We haven't gotten normal suit Antman figure since 2018, and Wasp with updated helmet yet. And Kang is supposedly next Thanos level villain, yet they don't make him as well. If they really wanted to make this Giant-man figure why not include minifigs as well here? Ant-man, Wasp and Kang could have easily been included here. Or they could have made this buildable figure as separate set and make normal minifgure playset as well with minifigs! I don't even know when there will be our next chance to get Ant-man and Wasp minifigs since we aren't getting them in 2023.

Wow that Rivendell leak looks incredible! Basically enlarged version of Council of Elrond set, hopefully this means all characters from that scene in movie will be present in this set. Although I have to agree with many of you this doesn’t loo like 500$ set. Maybe Lego could have made a version of this scene for 200$ with enough detail to look as amazing as this one. Barad-Dur though looks like early prototype to me. And it makes sense since it’s probably late 2023/early 2024 release as previous rumors suggested, designers still have time to make it perfect.

Adam Warlock looks great, hope he isn’t included in the biggest set though.

That wouldn’t work as Stark tower in Avengers 1 looks different from Avengers tower in AoU. The upper part of towers is completely redesigned in second movie.
