    We definitely need some sets from iron man 2 not to mention we need a black widow from her first mcu appearance!!!! With the navy blue shield body suit.

    As a movie that came out before LEGO was able to start making sets for MCU films, it is definitely in need of some sets.  Perhaps we could get sets like these:

    Duel of Monaco $19.99 Could include Whiplash Mark 1, Iron Man Mark 5 (repeat), Tony Stark (racing outfit)

    Black Widow's Infiltration $19.99 Could include Black Widow, Happy Hogan, 2 Security Guards

    Battle at Stark Expo $79.99 Could include Iron Man Mark 6, War Machine Mark 1, Whiplash Mark 2, 4 Hammer Drones, possibly Justin Hammer (the perfect face print already exists for him from the Detroit Steel set)

    Have Mark 4 Iron Man be included in a CMF series, and that would cover the movie pretty effectively.

    So I got the 2018 Clocktower the other day and I just had a thought: I bet the interior of the tower next to the new Great Hall will contain another version of Dumbledore’s Office and the Hospital Wing. 
     

    Both make a lot of sense for the Chamber of Secrets-themed set anyway as the Hospital Wing can be where Justin Finch-Fletchley and Colin Creevey can be hospitalised :laugh: and Dumbledores office to reenact the COS scenes and store the Sorting Hat, Sword of Gryffondor and even another Fawkes (if it is included in the set). 
     

    Personally I liked the placement of both the Hospital Wing and Dumbledores Office (after I started modding it taller) in the Clocktower so seeing those rooms repeated again would be a tiny bit infuriating

    I'd probably laugh if we end up with a second Hospital Wing when we haven't gotten our first Madam Pomfrey.  And be a bit infuriated.

    It would be neat to have a few of the Hammer Drones, but feel they don't have much appeal as they did not really have interesting scenes other than the introduction and the stand-off, then they got blown up pretty quickly. Would prefer giving us Iron Man helmets for them and just having those be four new variant suits for Iron Man figure collections.

    Whiplash Mark 2 was a kinda bland design honestly, it's primarily a variant of the Hammer Army Drone suit with some changes. I'm not particularly interested in a figure of it for the sake of replicating movie scenes when it had about 1 minute 30 seconds of screentime and most of it was maskless. It'd be something to say that I've got all variants of the Iron Man MCU villains, but I doubt it'd be a figure I'd be desperate for. Maybe Lego can make the design more visually appealing, but even with full printing it seems like a difficult task.

    You do raise some decent points.  There's definitely a number of potential sets I would like to see from past movies more than the Stark Expo battle, but I was thinking it would be a solid choice to do later on, assuming that the Infinity Saga sets become a standard.  

    Though personally, if we got any set from Iron Man 2, I would prefer Stark Expo over the race track battle that is more commonly speculated on.  We already have a good Mark 5 Iron Man that came out not too long ago, so a Whiplash Mark 1 would be the main selling point of such a set, and that version of Whiplash might be better suited to a CMF series where he can get more printing.  Still, with how iconic it is, I could easily see the race track battle being made as a set at a smaller pricepoint, and the otherwise reused/less interesting figures that might be included could allow Whiplash to get more of the minifigure budget devoted to him. 

    Iron Man and War Machine's standoff with the Hammer Drones also seems to be a somewhat iconic scene, plus LEGO hasn't made that version of War Machine yet, so I think a Stark Expo set would generate some demand.  Overall, I suppose we'll just have to wait and see how the Infinity Saga sets turn out.  If they are a large success and keep going for years to come, practically any noteworthy vehicle/action scene from the MCU could get a shot at being made/remade by LEGO someday.

    One scene that I hope gets a set in the future is the final battle at Stark Expo from Iron Man 2.  Ideally, such a set would include Iron Man Mark 6, War Machine Mark 1, Whiplash Mark 2, and four Hammer Drones (one of each military branch variant: Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps)  I can only keep my fingers crossed that these Infinity Saga sets sell well enough that LEGO is willing to continue revisiting older movies.

    The ministry would be an incredibly messy D2C since it doesn't have an exterior. The only ministry related sets I could see is getting would be smaller playsets. 

    I think a D2C Ministry of Magic would probably be structured similarly to the Betrayal at Cloud City set.  Whether that would make for an appealing D2C is debatable, though I would be interested at least.

    It would fit with there being a Chamber and a Myrtle's Bathroom this year. Have we had a proper Philosopher's Stone in Lego yet? 

    In the 2001 Final Challenge set and the Mirror of Erised sticker in the 2018 Great Hall, the standard jewel piece was used for the stone, though they could definitely change it to something more accurate.  A recolor of the gold nugget piece from the City Mining sets would look a lot closer to the source material.

    no, No, NO! I'm sorry but if they don't include Quill's helmet piece I'm going to be extremely mad. The Benatar didn't have Quill's helmet piece so this expensive one better.

    You've got a good point.  The last time LEGO included that helmet piece in a set was all the way back in 2017, so I think it's return is long overdue.

    Here is my idea of how 2022's wave would be if we got a legacy wave:

    Now that would be a great wave to get!  All three Phases represented, inclusion of movies that never got sets, remakes of sets that would benefit from it, and an excellent variety of minifigures?  I would be all on board with 2022 having this sort of lineup.  As much as I would like to see characters such as Brock Rumlow in a Lemurian Star set or Heimdall and/or Loki in the Asgard set, their inclusion probably wouldn't be realistic without bumping the sets up to larger price points.

    Here is how to do it:

    And this seems like a clever way to go about releasing all the Iron Man suits.  I'm rather amused that the number of CMF worthy suits listed would be exactly enough to completely fill out a 12 minifigure series :laugh: Imagine if LEGO decided to go that route.  Well, maybe in about a decade we'll have enough sets and CMF series to get the Iron Legion completed.

    You forgot to mention that we already got "transforming" Mark 8. I dunno if that counts but I can see TLG making an actual suit. (after all they did release a variation for Mark 43. 

    I keep forgetting that the transforming variant is meant to be the Mark 8.  I do hope that's not the only representation of that armor we get from LEGO, considering it's nowhere near a full suit.

    Thanks, that's... Certainly a choice.

    Weirdly, the previous Giant-Man and standard (non Quantum Suit) microfig Ant-Man we got from LEGO were released all the way back in 2016 for the Civil War wave.  A Giant-Man build probably would have either made the set more expensive, or taken away from the minifigure budget, so I think the microfig's inclusion is welcome.

    I would be impressed if LEGO ended up making all 51 of the onscreen Iron Man suits as minifigures.  Currently, 24 of them have been made by LEGO, leaving 27 unaccounted for.  We are still missing Marks:

    4
    8
    9
    10
    11
    12
    13
    14 
    15 Sneaky
    16 Nightclub
    18 Casanova
    19 Tiger
    20 Python
    21 Midas
    23 Shades
    24 Tank
    25 Striker
    26 Gamma
    27 Disco
    28 Jack
    29 Fiddler
    31 Piston
    32 Romeo
    34 Southpaw
    35 Red Snapper
    36 Peacemaker
    40 Shotgun

    It's technically possible for this lineup to get completed eventually, but it definitely wouldn't be remotely soon.  A set of the Iron Man 3 final battle would definitely get a few of these out of the way.  If LEGO remakes the Malibu Mansion or makes more Hall of Armor extensions, that could also be an opportunity for more of these suits.  I doubt the CMF series will feature more than 1 or 2 Iron Man variants, especially if the series ends up only featuring 12 minifigures.

    But she lost it to the earlier version of herself. Did she recover that, or remake it afterwards? I cannot remember.

    Hmm, upon a closer look, she does not seem to have it during the battle, but has it in scenes afterwards.  The Benatar would have been a perfect set to include that variant of Nebula, but hopefully it turns up elsewhere.

    Nebula - we had her in the QR suit with an updated face. We just need her regular clothes. But I can see her being included in Gotg3 future set anyways so not a problem.

    I should note that the QR Nebula we got, despite having a new face print, was missing the orange plating she had on one side of her face in the movie, so ideally a new Endgame Nebula would need yet another face print to be accurate.

    Underground compound? It would be a good place to fit a couple of outriders, Patriot, Ronin, and maybe Giant Man or Hulk.

    Such a set could also be an opportunity to include Gamora and Nebula.  There really are a lot of potential sets and minifigures that we could still get from Endgame's final battle alone now that I think about it.

    In a perfect world, Marvel would be treated like Star Wars, and we would already have those characters. Since we don’t, we have to wishlist and make customs. I’m going to try an MCU list hypothetical, and set the parameters for myself. If anyone else wants to try, you can use these too.

    1. Must include one Iron Man, one Cap, and one Thor

    2. No Wandavision or Endgame

    3. At least 2 characters not counting the trio must be a variation of an existing character

    4. (Mostly for me, no more than one Ant Man character)

    5. 12 Characters

    • Iron Man (Mark 4)
    • Captain America (USO Tour)
    • Thor (Coronation)
    • Spider-Man (Homemade Costume)
    • Black Widow (Iron Man 2)
    • T'Challa (Ancestral Plane)
    • Killmonger (black coat with necklace)
    • Luis (with Ant-Man and/or Wasp microfigure)
    • Mysterio (Motion Capture Suit)
    • M'Baku
    • The Other
    • Stan Lee (Watcher Informant)

    As far as I am concerned they have already given us good comic versions of:

    • Kraven The Hunter
    • Venom
    • Sandman
    • Carnage
    • Mysterio
    • Doctor Octopus
    • Vulture
    • Scorpion
    • J.J.Jameson
    • Green Goblin
    • Hobgoblin
    • Aunt May

    I'm not sure what figures they could really add to the set that would make people desperate for it? Maybe they'll throw in the comic Avengers to help sell the set?

    Some possibilities could include:

    • Classic Electro
    • Rhino (bigfig)
    • Lizard
    • Kingpin
    • Chameleon
    • Classic Beetle
    • Tombstone
    • Morbius
    • Comic Molten Man 
    • Comic Hydro Man
    • Comic Shocker
    • Prowler
    • Black Cat
    • Silver Sable
    • Mr. Negative
    • Hammerhead
    • Tarantula
    • Tinkerer
    • Enforcers
    • Jack O Lantern
    • Silvermane 
    • Swarm
    • Betty Brant
    • Robbie Robertson

     

    • Big Wheel

    I hope LEGO goes all out on the minifigure selection for the Daily Bugle.  As much as I'd like a ton of villains being included, I suspect LEGO would also want to include characters relevant to the Daily Bugle itself.  Perhaps we'd end up with J. Jonah Jameson, Peter Parker, Eddie Brock, Betty Brant, and Robbie Robertson for that purpose.

    Thanks for that. Much easier to see the difference in 3D as opposed to a book. Personally hoping that we get other suits before this, as they are still fairly close in appearance, and think they would be very similar in LEGO form when there are other suits I find more interesting - Gamma, Disco, Jack and Peacemaker

    Hopefully if the MCU Legacy line continues past this year, we'll get the Roxxon Norco Oil Tanker battle from Iron Man 3 as a set, which would be an easy way to get a lot of those suits.

    I want an accurate Mark 46. Them reusing the Mark 43 head and legs did not put a smile on my face

    I do hope that we eventually get a remake of the Civil War Airport Battle.  The Captain America and Black Widow minifigures from the Civil War wave reuses from the Age of Ultron wave, which was disappointing.  Most of the other minifigures from that wave would also benefit from upgraded remakes.  Plus I also am not really willing to pay the prices the Airport Battle set is going for now.

    From a collector's standpoint, it'd be nice to get complete the original Hall of Armours, but are the MK3 and MK4 really different enough to warrant two separate figures? I wouldn't expect LEGO to do both, it'd be like how Cap's suit has small differences in Civil War, but LEGO still used the AoU torso

     

    Also if the BP set includes Killmonger, I hope they give him the justice of a new face print, the generic one he had last time was BEYOND inaccurate. Basically the equivalent of Henry Turner's head

    If Mark 4 was a CMF figure, it would probably far more detailed than the Mark 3 we are expecting to be included in the Iron Monger set.  A more traditional Iron Man design having a level of detail comparable to the polybag Silver Centurion would be pretty great in its own right.  As for the most noticeable differences in the armors, the Mark 4 has gold highlights on the torso that are not present on the Mark 3, and the leg armor detailing is different.  This comparison of the Hot Toys figures seems to do a good job showing the differences between the designs.

    I'm assuming that LEGO was trying to find ways to cut costs on some of the minifigures for the Civil War sets, as that wave also reused the AOU Black Widow minifigure, which in terms of inaccuracy makes the AOU Cap reuse look pretty tame in comparison.

    I'm assuming that LEGO would be more willing to invest in a better face print for Killmonger if he's included this year, as they should now be fully aware of how popular of a character he is.
