Just saw this and it's wonderful! A most accurate depiction of Disney for more than a decade now.

This would be my dream set. Love the pink and the Disneyland Paris castle has always been my favorite.

If we need more Wolverines, I'd like to see him in street clothes like his undershirt or in his jacket and plaid shirt underneath. The street clothes could easily be repeats. Cyclops is still the most disappointing minifigure for me. Rogue has her problems but she's more or less looking like herself. Cyclops doesn't have any leg printing so he looks like he's wearing blue pajamas or some knockoff figure that couldn't bother printing all the way. Missing his boots and straps above his boots really kills the look. What are the chances the X-Mansion will feature him but with leg printing?

I'm glad we have a new Magneto. His hair is too long though. Hopefully we get an updated Magneto in his classic red costume in the X-Mansion.

Not a fan. Minidoll aside, it barely resembles the movie palace and is clearly more inspired by the previous DP mini doll sets. Just a smaller version of those.

I remember the hut was different in the first two films but this one seems exceedingly small to me. I like the dog house for Fang though. Yeah, the owlery doesn't seem to connect. Seems the modular castle is done with now.

Glad to see Norbert and Fang in Hagrid's hut. And Harry in his green sweater. Best of all is Hagrid in his apron. But the actual hut itself seems very small. The owlery is okay but a bit too small and underutilized. Not as many owls as I would have liked but that's to be expected and the red one is brilliant. The boathouse is the best. Hope that connects to the castle. The Ford Anglia is fine but nothing new. Good for kids to get a cheap set though. The Hedwig set might be worth it for the photo of baby Harry with his parents. I think that's a new piece. Like the History of Magic textbook as well. I see the boxes mention the inclusion of mystery portraits in each set. I guess that's the new chocolate frog.

I posted about the Goblin Queen a few months ago on here. All the skin is basically gray now to cover her up.

With The Marvels flopping as badly as it did, Lego is probably relieved they only made one set. I have a feeling future Marvel movies will get similar treatment.

I've never been into the MCU either. Even though I'm only a casual DC fan, I used to prefer the DC sets because even though there were sets based on the movies, you could just as easily find sets based on the comics. The Marvel sets were always based on the MCU with a few rare exceptions and they always seemed very underwhelming and generic next to the DC ones. Based on the declining trend for the MCU, I'm not surprised we're only getting one set per new movie. That's fine with me especially if we can get more comic sets. I'd much rather see an Avengers Mansion set with characters like Wasp, Hawkeye, and Scarlet Witch in their actual classic costumes. It's not just the MCU though that Lego seems to be wary of now. I think of the latest Indiana Jones movie and how Lego didn't even bother to make any sets for it and that was decided long before it flopped.

Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends is considered one of the most iconic and popular Marvel shows of all time. It frequently gets ranked amongst the best animated shows of all time so it's hardly one of the less popular ones. in fact, with every new Spider-Man show that Marvel creates, the brand gets more watered down which only makes Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends stand out more. It's true Firestar isn't a household name anymore but she's still fairly known because of that show despite having no significant media presence otherwise. I don't see Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch appearing in X-Men sets. Marvel did a lot of work in separating those two from the X-Men brand and even though they have the X-Men movie rights again, they haven't made any push in the comics to make those two mutants again. In fact, Franklin Richards (son of Mr. Fantastic and the Invisible Woman) lost his mutant status so Marvel has become more pushy about keeping the mutant brand separate from the rest of their superhero teams. The twins did appear in the 90s show as Magneto's children but I would not expect to see them appear or even brought up in the new show. Scarlet Witch especially since Marvel has heavily emphasized her in the Avengers brand for the last decade or so. That might change if we ever see House of M in the MCU and mutants integrated as well but based on Elizsabeth Olsen's comments that she's done with Marvel for now because she wasn't happy with Wanda's portrayal in the Doctor Strange sequel, I'm not holding my breath. Retroactively making the twins Magneto's children in the MCU also seems unlikely so if Marvel is going to keep the twins as non-mutants who are not Magneto's children, I don't see them having any X-Men ties or appearing in X-Men merchandise.

I hadn't heard the rumors about Tobey until the post on the previous page but that's quite exciting as well. I can't imagine Lego would ignore any set that could feature these two together. I also can't imagine Marvel would miss a chance to team up Spider-Man and Deadpool so I could see Deadpool popping up in a set as well then.

The rumors are that Wolverine and Deadpool will appear in the Secret Wars movie so I would expect to see minifigs of them there.

Yeah I heard about the fact that it's being overhauled yet again, probably because the previous version wasn't working. But while Echo hasn't been released yet, all reports about it say that the show isn't very good and will probably be a flop which is why Marvel is releasing it all at once and essentially dumping it. So I wonder why they think making Daredevil more like Echo would be an improvement in this case.

Wasn't Daredevil being retooled by Marvel for the MCU to specifically be more family friendly and not as violent and gritty as the Netflix version?

Very happy we're getting Rogue instead of Storm. But I have mixed feelings on the minifigure. I honestly thought it was a bad custom at first and scrolled past it until I read the caption. The hair is way too generic and I hope it looks more brown than orange in the final product. The arms really should have been dual-molded so we could se her sleeves under the jacket and the yellow printing on the torso is awful.

I hate to sound nitpicky but the minifigures are very disappointing. So many lacking leg printing and for a set of this price, there's no excuse. The lack of Quicksilver is also perplexing yet there's room for Wasp or especially Wong?

Looks amazing. Dying to see the interior. Still holding out hope Quicksilver is on the inside. It would be a shame to have all the Avengers minus him.

Is it just me or are all the leaked minifigures we've seen for the Avengers Tower pretty disappointing so far? Like the Wasp without leg printing which should have been a bare minimum considering the price of this set.

I'm expecting these three as well. Quicksilver especially will be nice since it's been years since we've had a minfigure for him.

The blue and yellow costumes never appeared in the show, besides Morph wearing it as his default uniform, so they were never going to happen anyway. Also Cyclops never wore one in the comics. He wasn't even an X-Man in UXM #275 when those Strike Force uniforms were used. Only Wolverine, Storm, Psylocke, Jubilee, Gambit, Banshee, and Forge wore them as part of the team. Jean wore one in issues before in the Morlock tunnels when she and Beast teamed up with Banshee and Forge. Instagram seems to be claiming that Storm as the fourth minifigure was a false alarm. That means we might still see someone else.

By 90s shows and comics I meant the 90s era of comics where he wore the green suit primarily. He also had his cargo combat outfit and the occasional special outfit like the Shi'ar exo-skeleton which he could walk in. The black suit is a modern invention for the 21st century. If you look at his looks from the 60s-90s, he never wore a black suit. He wore blue, green, brown, tan, etc. but not the modern black suit we associate with him today. It would look out of place in an X-Men '97 set especially since these sets are based off of the show, not the comics or the movies or any other form of media. The black suit is also associated with the wheelchair and since he never rode in a regular wheelchair in the original show (and doubtfully will in this new one since he's not even in it), I'm only expecting the hoverchair look. Your minifigure list is also missing all the new additions to the team who have already been popping up in merchandise like Bishop, Morph, Sunspot, and Cable. Nightcrawler hasn't shown up yet in merchandise but he's been confirmed and we've seen art of him. Archangel is rumored to join the team as well. We also know the Goblin Queen will have a major role and there's merchandise for her too.

That makes sense. The only thing about the minifigure is that the black suit is what he wears in the movies. For the 90s show and comics, he wore a green suit, like how he was pictured in Multiverse of Madness. I remember some pages back there was a discussion on how the Illuminati from MoM deserved minifigs so giving us a 90s style Xavier could also fill in for that. That's what I'm expecting or hoping for anyway. I hope the X-Mansion doesn't reuse the same Wolverine, Storm, and Beast from the CMF series and then the same Cyclops and Magneto from the X-Jet as well.

I've only seen one report saying Storm is confirmed. The others are still saying the fourth minifigure is unknown so it could still be Jean or Rogue which would make me feel better about the set. But at this point, I'd be more surprised if it wasn't Storm. And as much as I'd like variants of Logan and Storm, I'm not holding my breath either. The only thing worse than repeats of the CMF figures would be barebones versions of the figures without leg and arm printing. I haven't seen Xavier in any of the X-Men '97 merchandise so far which makes me wonder if Lego will include him or not in the X-Mansion set. There's some merchandise of Magneto now in his X-Men costume (the purple one with the big M on front) so I'm also thinking we could get a different version of Magneto in both the X-Jet and X-Mansion sets. Maybe his classic red/purple costume in the X-Jet set. On Instagram, there's been no mention of any Sentinel included. And I think people predicted that based on the piece count, a Sentinel wouldn't be a feasible inclusion unless the X-Jet is absolutely tiny. That's an interesting idea though that the fourth minifigure is a Sentinel minifigure. And I wrote that post taking it for granted that Cyclops would get leg printing for his boots and the bands around his legs but even that isn't set in stone. Here's hoping.

The usual place is reporting that the X-Jet will feature Wolverine, Storm, Magneto, and Cyclops. Storm seems slightly less confirmed than the rest though. Very disappointing to see two minifigures outright recycled especially since they're likely going to pop up in the X-Mansion as well. For the price and lack of Sentinel, this better mean that Magneto has leg printing and maybe even dual molded arms. I'm not counting on Storm having her long hair or Wolverine appearing in his jacket to make then different.
