Good shout. Do you see it as a modular? Or at least modular compatable? Be a great way to get some more suits for the hall of armour. 13

Hopefully there will be as its a great way to get more characters. The official lego site in the UK has them at 20% off currently though, if that's any indication of performance. I don't remember other series being discounted? (Not that I look too closely at other series)

There's a mini ninjago city set doing the rounds on instagram. Looks like a real set. Anyone know anything about it?

Thanks so much! Those had all slipped my mind

Do we know much about what to expect after the january sets? We had quite a few leaks last Christmas time so hopefully we should be hearing something soon.

These two comments are spot on and echo my thoughts exactly. Overall a great set, just a shame the 2 figures are repeats when it's clearly meant to go alongside the statue of liberty set.

Yeah its a decent set, but nothing there for anyone who has picked up previous gotg waves. Which is a shame as there is still lots of potential for decent sets from the guardians films.

Sorry to go back to this, but how does this set cost just £5 more than the hoopty? 10 more figs and 1400 more pieces https://brickset.com/article/102118/review-80113-family-reunion-celebration

It looks like that graphic is a bit misleading, potentially due to changes between reporting after the first 6 months of the financial year, and the year end. Lego themselves say: "Top selling themes in no particular order were LEGO® City, LEGO® Creator, LEGO® Friends, LEGO® Technic™, LEGO® Classic and LEGO® Star Wars™. The LEGO® Harry Potter™, LEGO® Super Heroes (Marvel Avengers) and LEGO® Disney™ Princess themes also performed strongly." Taken from here: https://www.lego.com/fr-fr/aboutus/news/2020/march/annual-results So it was selling well, but not in the top 6. But like you say it's not massively important, just interesting.

I shouldn't take the bait here, but I will point out that Friends sells more than Superheroes

I'll keep my fingers crossed for one in 2024. Maybe a smaller comic inspired modular. I think having nothing but skyscrapers would look a bit strange. It's nice having the sanctum to break things up so hopefully there is a smaller (and cheaper) one coming next year.

Ah thanks. I saw the x mansion leak when it came out. I thought we were talking about modulars but just read it back and we've switched to D2Cs. I wasn't sure if I'd missed something with regards to x mansion. As far as I'm aware we haven't heard anything about a modular next year?

Who have we heard that off? Or is it a guess?

I'm enjoying this reaction to the name Spin. I've known the character as Spin for the past 2 years as my son watches the show. However I've just looked back at the Lego sets before this wave and he's always been called Miles Morales: Spiderman before now.

Thanks for sharing. Looks alright, though not sure about those big pieces.

Interesting to see the Taxi GWP is still available (in the UK at least). Wonder if that can give any indication about sales. We're all used to seeing the GWPs fly off the shelves.

How many of you bought Avengers Tower this weekend? I haven't been able to bring myself to get it yet. I'm excited to buy it, but I already got the 2 GWPs last weekend, and the Black Panther Taxi set is so dull that that hasn't pushed me into the buy camp. I'll probably wait until the next double VIP weekend and some decent GWPs before picking it up.

I did this with the bookshop before it retires. Thanks for sharing

That sounds sensible, good shout. You get the impression there are lots of changes going on the mcu right now. It does seem daft to block an important film behind a high rating.

Yeah there's got to be a good chance of some new spiderman sets. Especially with the gaps in the mcu slate now. Hopefully there is definitely space to do some spider sets with interesting characters in. Even if they aren't directly tied into any films (across the spiderverse or madame web).

Yeah those are my thoughts too. With Ronan being a downgrade, I'm not expecting much from that set. Presumably Rocket will be a repeat (maybe new torso print?) and the ship I'd expect to be something similar to the one in the Tazerface set. So not much to appeal to someone who got those sets last time around.

Yeah thats great. I love Loki's imprint on the floor after Hulks attack. That's a great touch.

While I hope that's not the conclusion they draw, I think you could be right. I'd prefer it if they made 1 set per film, but included the main characters and villain which were decent representations. And a decent build at a fair price. Is that too much to ask? You'd imagine sales would be better if that was the case and less need to discount stuff.

New Marvels trailer is good. Seems more serious than the others with no mention of the body swapping. There are a few glimpses of the Hoopty too. Looking forward to seeing the film then picking up the hoopty at 50% off. I saw a £90 Avatar set for £44.99 today so its definitely on the cards.
