    The compound definitely looks like a city police set mashed with Marvel, but I really don't get how THIS is the worst set ever. A dissapointment? A bit, but we get minifigs that are desirable and a well designed PLAYSET like everyone always wants (myself included) and people throw out a bunch of exagerated complaints about how it looks like a "4+" set. I think in a little while once the dissapointment of it not being exactly what was expected, and that Rescue and Ronin are no where to be found, fades people will view these sets and the compound in particular better. I'm not saying people will love it, but it's better than ta lot of the builds we've gotten in the past (Crossbones jeep, Cap vs the Hydra tank, the AoU Hulk set just to name a few). With the Marvel Superheroes theme, we've always had to take the bad with the good. I can only think of a couple sets that had great minifigs and a great build.

    Anyway, here's my thoughts on this wave:

    Compound Set: I really like the main portion of it and the garage isn't too bad, just a little oversized. I'm never a fan of LEGO helicopters but I understand why they included it for playability, and the front of that car is actually really sleak looking. The more I see gold armed Iron Man, the more I like it. I actually love the Hulk with a smile, he's still so threatening with one. I'm not crazy about Thanos but we don't know how accurate it will be to the movie so I won't judge it too harsh yet.

    Quinjet: While VERY well designed, I'm not a huge fan of the quinjet. I'm just tired of them and they don't fit in the display that I have for Marvel so I may actually skip this one. I am actually fond of the team suits, but I don't feel the need to get them all so not getting this set won't upset me.

    Hall of Armour: THOSE MINIFIGS ARE SO GREAT. The build is okay, I like the console and the armour station better than the modular section but I like the idea at least. They're also somewhat similar to the Malibu amnsion display if I remember correctly, so that's nice. Igor could definitely be better, especially his head, but the overall shape of him I like. His head is honestly really bad, I may try to figure out a way to use the Iron legion head on him... I definitely would have prefered this set without the Outriders but their inclusion is whatever.

    Buster: I really like the design, even though (as always) the mech is oversized. The 4.5 on his shoulder really cracks me up for some reason. The new helmet for Ant-Man is sooo good. Again, I kind of like the team suits so War Machine and Ant-Man being in them doesn't bother me.

    Cap Cycle: LEGO are still struggling to make motorcycles sized properly for minifigs and look interesting AND have play features. If it wasn't suppossed to be for a minifig I wouldn't mind the design too much (it reminds me of his cycle from The First Avenger) but it does look way too big for Cap. I definitely would have prefered to have another Avenger here instead of a third Outrider. Cap's new helmet looks perfect for him and it looks like they printed him shield on a light grey piece instead of a red one this time so I think it'll look a lot better and be the right color on the inside so I really like that.

    Overall, this wave is a slight dissappointment but I enjoy large parts of it a lot. I think I'll end up getting all the sets except the quinjet (and maybe not the Cap set if I can find him with the shield cheap enough) but I'll probably wait for a sale to get most of it.

    It's so sad how the biggest Marvel movie of the year has some disappointing sets and Far from Home a smaller scale movie has better figs and probably better sets. The Far from Home wave expiremented with getting Mysterio a new helmet mould to resemble his Fishbowl helmet, gave most of the figs some decent leg and body prints (The Stealth suit being an example) and even gave us a new Nick Fury but the Endgame sets just has most of the heroes in The Advanced Tech suits and lazily puts in the Outriders instead of maybe Cap in his new suit, Ronin or the Avengers in their normal suits. The Armour set is decent but Igor's face seems off, It seems as if LEGO has still not decided to give Captain Marvel leg or arm printing. The few good stuff in the wave are the new Cap helmet, Ant-Man's new helmet and the armour room

    please hope we going to get spider man red and black suit in the far from home sets please?

    It's highly likely since apparently it's his main suit going forward. The worse LEGO can do is repackage the Homecoming suit into the sets but I have a feeling we will get a red and black suit in the Far from Home wave.

    Man that Mysterio is very well detailed. Honestly probably one of my new favorite figures. Hopefully the build he comes along with is good. 

    Apparently he comes in the Stark Plane set. The Elementals Hydro-Man and Molten Man may have builds similar to Groot from the first Guardians of the Galaxy. A civilian minifigure is also appearing in one of the sets (Either Michelle, Flash or Ned) and there might be a bridge build.

    This new one even have printing details on his eye patch. 

    A torso that perfectly suits him as a shield director. I really love those details and lining continuing to the legs (the fact that the legs has been reused) currently there's no trash in this wave of minifigures.

    It's fascinating how the biggest Marvel movie of 2019 has only a few decent figures but Far from Home has better figures with better printing. The chances of getting a Peter Parker minifigure or head, Ditko suit or a Midtown student (Michelle, Flash or Ned) are very high. If only the builds could be as decent as the minifigures especially the Elementals.

    Fun fact, which will most likely trigger everyone...

    He reuses Professor Snape's legs from last year

    It's better than no print. Hopefully theverything Ditko suit will be just as good. The custom below would be a cool way of LEGO doing the red and black. Maybe LEGO would make a better minifigure than this custom and I really hope they continue with the arm prints for MCU Spider-man figs since so far the minifigures leaked don't have them.45924458445_7df716a9bc_b.jpg

    I've been excited for the FFH sets for months now.....the figs alone make this one of the best Spidey waves to date, I'm speechless. Thay nick fury fig is amazing and I think it will come in the Stark Plane and Drone Attack set. We could even get a Peter Parker minifig!!

    A Peter Parker minifigure would be so cool. We haven't really gotten one since the Raimi era. Peter in casual clothes would be a cool minifigure. So far so good we've gotten excellent prints from Stealth Suit spidey to Nick Fury. I'm seriously anxiously waiting for the Ditko Red and black and a possible Michelle fig

    None as of now, we don't even know if Lego is generous enough to make it. 

    I think LEGO might do what they did with Iron Man for Iron Man 3. Put the new suit(Mk42) in two sets and a bonus suit (MK 17 Heartbreaker) in another. So we may get the Stealth suit in one set whilst the other sets will feature the Red and black suit. It seems highly possible.

    Im surprised Lego is seemingly going all out for a SPIDER-MAN WAVE!!! I must be dreaming. They give us more than 1 variant of Spidey based off a movie AND a possible new mold for the villain with amazing printing? All of that in one wave? This FFH wave may be able to compete with the Spider-Man 2 wave from 2004

    I definitely agree with you on this one. The merchandising of Far from Home in general is very decent. So far apparently from some leaks we're getting Stealth Suit Spider-man, Red and black spidey, Mysterio (With a new mould), Nick Fury (Not sure if LEGO would make a new head for Fury or just use the Age of Ultron variant), one of Peter's classmates (Either Flash, Ned or Michelle), Brick built versions of Hydro-Man and Molten Man and a possible Peter Parker head like what Marvel did for Ant-Man in the Endgame sets.

    Maybe you're right. Maybe it's just a miss on lego's part (which morelikely the case

    Torso is dark green. Printing details like on the armor is spot on. Gold and purple lighting, only gripe is it's d.green dominant otherwise, it could've been perfect and yes it has gold hands.

    Legs are also in dark green with the printing of knee guards in gold and it has toe printing.

    Now the most awaited one, the head I can say it's new and weird. We still have to wait for clear pictures to judge it.

    Yes the rumours about Mysterio getting a new helmet mould was true. Can't wait to see his minifigure. This Far from Home line has potential to be better than the Endgame line which just reused Quantum Suits for most figs and has barely any new figures apart from Ant Man with a new helmet, Cap's new helmet and the new Iron Man armours, Every five else seems to be a downgrade but so fare the leaks for the Far from Home sets seems to imply we could get good figs. (Mainly Stealth Suit, Ditko Red and black and Mysterio)

    Its a very rare thing to see in the MARVEL theme. But in other themes, especially the CMF series, it appears quite often. President Business from the new LEGO Movie 2 CMF is a good example

    BTW, new information on the Mysterio figure:

    - Green torso with a few gold and purple prints, doens't look anything like the suit from the trailer

    - Legs are printed

    - New helmet mold

    Could be his 2nd suit he uses in the movie since it was leaked that Mysterio would have two suits in the movie. The introduction of a new helmet mould increases the chance of seeing a version of his fish bowl helmet. 

    Looking at the first look of the Stealth suit LEGO has done, it seems as if the Far from Home line would be less disappointing than the Avengers: Endgame line. I thought LEGO might use an existing mould like maybe a repainted version of Vulture's helmet or Mr Freeze's helmet but it seems as if they'd be expire meeting new stuff for this line.

    Why are people complaining that the torso is gray? The actual suit is gray in the movie too with only the head, gloves, boots, and straps being black. 

    Also have a prediction, I can see Lego giving us a Happy Hogan fig now that he has a goatee and using the Kraven/Hoskins head. Not a good choice unfortunately but probably the best they’ll give us without printing a new face.

    I think a Happy fig is unlikely but we are all waiting to see Mysterio and the Red and black suit minifigures. Hopefully LEGO would make the FFH Ditko suit as detailed as the Homecoming suit with leg and arm prints since the Homecoming fig had excellent prints. It would be interesting to see how they do Mysterio. Maybe we'd get a new Nick Fury figure since we haven't had him since 2015(Age of Ultron). Hoping for a Peter Parker figure even though that is highly unlikely. If LEGO is generous they may give us a Parker head but I doubt they'd do that.

    I can't see it happening. 3 suits for ever set. Nah, too good to be true. 

    I'd be glad with 2 variants. I won't be surprised if we only get 1 new suit (stealth) and then the homecoming 1. 

    Knowing LEGO they might either just put the Homecoming suit in most of the sets to call it a day and only put one suit in the best set (Either the Stealth suit or The Red and black upgraded StarkTech/Parker Suit). It would be cool though if we just got a Peter Parker minifigure since we've not gotten one since 2004. A good choice for a hopeful Peter Parker minifigure could be the Hydro-Man set. It's highly unlikely but it would be cool if we could get a Peter figure or at least a head.

    So I'm guessing production on the Far from Home sets have started and hopefully we can see some leaks. How would LEGO possibly do the fishbowl for Mysterio? Hopefully the new Spider-man figs would have arm and do leg printings like the Homecoming figs. They could do something like this if they're really committed.maxresdefault.jpg
