Only about two weeks now till Avengers: Doomsday trailer and set reveals (26th according to Unibricks as previously relayed here) Definitely sounds like a 'wave 1' but I'd hope we get some cool figures from it. Edit: We have a 'concept art' Poster for Avengers: Doomsday revealing some characters that are in the movie. I would imagine that these 27 characters are considered the movies 'leads' and would be more or less the selection of characters that will be adapted into Lego sets first so this gives us a rough idea of who we'll get and who we are missing in our first wave of sets: Yeah, it's weird we don't have a set with them. I feel like they have army building potential also and are applicable for conflict with Daredevil who they have already given us a comic-inspired version of with the 76178. Seems weird that Sony still had some marketing on their social media which featured Grey Hulk... though perhaps they were still toying with the Grey Hulk idea right up until they provided trailer slices... or Sony just misleading us like Disney did with Avengers: Infinity War creating moments that don't exist. It's likely Hulk would play the same role in that scene regardless of colour scheme.

https://brickset.com/sets/71013-6/Hiker The Oak image edit was via PittPen817 on Reddit. A new mold could be used in other themes, Hiker had a similar backpack design, reusability for Lego City figures. The Lego Friends theme has a lot of molded animals. In January 2026 it introduced four new animal molds: Bunny, Frog, Seal and Axolotl. If that theme can do that in a wave for its animals, why are we limited to just Pikachu & Eevee as the animals in our first wave of this licensed theme trapped behind an expensive set? I'm not expecting them to do every Pokemon, but I think if they are going to do molded Pokemon it needs to be consistent and it should start immediately. It should be easy enough for them to get us a starter trio and perhaps one or two more Pokemon each wave with two waves of sets a year. If they were to do that we'd have all the starter Pokemon by 2032. As an example: 2027 Wave 1 - Squirtle, Charmander, Bulbasaur, Meowth 2027 Wave 2 - Chikorita, Cyndaquil, Totodile, Togepi 2028 Wave 1 - Treecko, Torchic, Mudkip 2028 Wave 2 - Chimchar, Piplup, Turtwig, Lucario 2029 Wave 1 - Oshawott, Snivy, Tepig 2029 Wave 2 - Fennekin, Chespin, Froakie 2030 Wave 1 - Litten, Popplio, Rowlett 2030 Wave 2 - Scorbunny, Sobble, Grookey 2031 Wave 1 - Fuecoco, Sprigatito, Quaxly 2031 Wave 2 - Browt, Pombon, Gecqua 2032 Wave 1 - Gen 11 Starter Trio

PittPen817 did an edit that helps to fix a lot of the problems. Lego definitely made a lot of strange decisions regarding the adaptation of Oak that just don't fit. PittPen87's suggestions would help avoid real world comparisons also. I didn't initially realise that Lego have printed on Red's backpack rather than actually giving us a backpack. Similar to Zinnia's hair. If this stuff is meant to be for adult collectors, they should really be more accurate, especially at the prices they charge :/ I would not be surprised IF they intend to do them they are going to space them out over multiple adult sets.

I feel like it could have just been a 'epic moments' style display set where you have a build of Oak's Laboratory and the start of 'Route 1' with the Picnicker. There was no reason this should have ever been a massive Pokeball that opens. The main question you have to ask is would you buy this set if it did not include the vignettes, figures and molds. For me the answer is no and even with those aspects, I'm not sold on it by how many pieces are wasted on not only the Pokeball for an opening feature but also a display for the Pokeball.

I think it depends IF they end up doing more molded Pokemon as Eevee and Pikachu could be it. I'll probably wait a bit, see if they do more molded Pokemon ideally the Kanto starters and Meowth, and likely do a vignette of Oak's Labratory using the version in the set as a basis. Though at this rate I really hope the theme shifts to a mix of the adult buildable Pokemon and the minifigures and molded Pokemon, scrap the Smart Play Shelf Warmers and focus on what they know the fans are asking for. The only strategy seems to be that back in around 2017 they thought they could shove tons of tech into Lego and when they realised that was not enough to sell it, they proceeded to do so while attaching it to licensed themes such as Mario and now Pokemon & Star Wars with the tech brick. Young focused - They seem to have no faith in a younger audience buying their Pokemon Lego sets. You have them including lights, sounds, conflict in a box, environments and random vehicles presumably from a 'throw everything at the wall and see what sticks' approach, then a random buildable 'Red' figure despite the younger fans being more likely to know Ash or Liko & Roy. Adult focused - They seem to be of the mindset that an older fan is just going to build and display perhaps one or two of the sets, rather than an older fan having the desire to collect all the Pokemon they like and display the sets together, there's no sense of scale or consistency between how they are tackling the Pokemon.

The only thing people want from this set is the Oak's Lab Vignette, the figures and the molded Pokemon. I really don't understand why Lego made a bloated opening Pokeball set just to have some tiny vignettes with around 1500 wasted pieces, including yet another display base -_- This could have just been a segment of Oak's Lab with Oak and the three Kanto Starters OR Red Vs the Picnicker with a portion of the forest. It would have sold so well and it'd have been cheaper to manufacture and put on shelves. Despite adapting Oak's Lab it couldn’t even deliver on the Kanto Starters, which is a core factor of Oak's Lab and the most iconic aspect of the games. It's just repeatedly fundamental misunderstandings of the appeal of Lego Pokemon.

Clarifying and covering information revealed recently including the SPOILERY CHARACTERS and SET NAMES. SPOILERS REFERENCING OLD LEAK

76352 isn't necessarily confirmed yet, was reported as a modular building but it could still surprise us if it's not Avengers Tower

I retain the hope that this is just someone seeing U.S.Agent thinking it was a different character OR that it's not actually based on the movie... but yeah, I can buy it being accurate so spoiler tagged to be safe.

76348: looks like Quinjet is back on the menu boys (SPOILER CHARACTER) via Unibricks

76347 set details via Unibricks: Interestingly enough 76347 was the one rumoured to be the vehicle set, so I guess it's unlikely that we're getting the Fantastic Four ship in this wave. It means the remaining mystery sets are: 76348 - 846 Pieces, $99.99 - originally stated as being an 'Epic Moments Set' 76352 'Doomsday Modular Building/Avengers Tower?' - 954 Pieces, $109.99 Hopefully so. Yeah, TASM seems like it could be next, it's just got little left to adapt. We've technically had Rhino before or attempts to do so with figures that kinda fit and varying mechs, Lizard with NWH, and Electro was in a polybag, they could probably re-do Electro and give us Harry's Green Goblin and Gwen and that'd be enough. Fox-Verse X-Men honestly might be best to skip around to the more iconic or noteworthy entries: X-Men 2000 set, X-Men: The Last Stand set, X-Men: First Class, X-Men Days of Future Past set.

Weird they chose a Picnicker instead of Blue or even the more recently added Green. Pikachu looks a little awkward from the front, but it works, wondering if we'll get an all-fours running variant eventually. Eevee's tuffs of hair turning into Machop style head fins is a weird choice, but Eevee feels like the better of the two in regards to detailing and it's pose is more applicable for varying battles or posing with Trainer. Hopefully we get a set eventually with molded Bulbasaur, Blastoise and Charmander. Would be fine just getting them and having those 5 as molded Pokemon if that's all we are getting.

Legacy Raimi sets presumably will be complete in Q1 2027, we'll have all the core versions of characters except for possibly Harry Osborn/New Goblin, which we may not get. Though if we got something like this I'd buy a bunch for the printed board pieces and Pumpkin Bomb wall. Completing the Raimi sets should open the door to them shifting to other Legacy movies and I think you could pretty much do the TASM franchise in a singular TASM2 'Final Battle' style set. So at that point, where do they go from there? Knowing the Q1 2027 sets so far reported on, personally the core things I'd like now are: Doc Ock Hideout: Doc Ock, Mary Jane, Spider-man, John Jameson (If we're not getting Harry Osborn) TASM2 Final Battle: Spider-man, Electro, Green Goblin, Rhino, Gwen Stacy, Captain Stacy Iron Man Malibu Mansion: Tony Stark, Maya Hansen, MK1, MK2 (Rhodey Head), MK3, MK4, MK5, MK6, MK7, MK42 (Pepper Potts Head), MK21 (Works as a 20th Anniversary suit) It looks alright, other than the face and the hood piece/cape being plastic rather than cloth resulting in odd angles in the material. I wonder if Ultron will be next given how they handled the face would probably be transplantable for Ultron. Guess we're just waiting for the last handful of set reveals, potentially all for Doomsday, and that'll be it for this year. It's more a combination of timing and what seems like the most logical option: Avengers Doomsday/Secret Wars bringing back Fox-Verse characters means any new molds/facial prints could be re-used. 2027-2029 will be when Fox-Verse X-Men are most in peoples mind along with X-Men in general (Avengers Doomsday/Secret Wars, Season 3/4 of X-Men 97', MCU X-Men film). Limited detailing on Fox-Verse outfits, mostly black with minimal printing, could keep costs low. X-Men Mansion currently scheduled to retire in December 2026, could be extended, but would leave the door open to new X-Men sets to fill the void.

I think people are over-thinking how to adapt the Fox-Verse movies. X-Men 1 Build: Statue of Liberty Head & Torch, similar to the 76261 9 Figures: Wolverine, Storm, Cyclops, Jean Grey, Rogue, Magneto, Mystique, Toad, Sabertooth Notes: To vary from prior sets the Statue of Liberty head would have more stone-like colours and rather than scaffolding, those pieces would be put towards the 'torch' mechanism where Rogue was held captive. X-Men 2 Build: X-Jet 6 Figures: Prof.X, Wolverine, Ice Man, Nightcrawler, William Stryker, Lady Deathstrike Note: Rather than have this based on a specific scene this features characters from X-Men 2 and is a way to get the Fox-Verse version of the X-Jet X-Men 3 Build: A portion of the Golden Gate Bridge and a small turret with a battle damaged expanse between, similar in design to 76291. 10 Figures: Wolverine, Colossus, Beast, Kitty Pryde, Jean Grey, Angel, Magneto, Juggernaut, Pyro, Callisto Notes: By making the focal point as the Golden Gate Bridge segment you don't really need to put any focus on the location itself, just a random battlefield next to a moved Golden Gate Bridge. Angel had a lot of focus in the marketing so I've included him here. Overall: X-Men (10) - Prof X, Wolverine, Cyclops, Storm, Colossus, Ice Man, Nightcrawler, Rogue, Kitty Pryde, Jean Grey Magneto's Brotherhood & Villains (9) - Magneto, Sabertooth, Toad, Juggernaut, Pyro, Callisto, Mystique, William Stryker, Lady Deathstrike Entering Avengers: Doomsday set reveal month then, really missing when we used to get more leaks though. Feels like a lot of waiting for reveals. Hopefully they are good sets.

Probably not a wave of sets, but I could see us getting one more set in mid/late 2027 that covers the final battle. I think Lego have shot themselves in the foot if they truly intend to exclude Punisher though. Lego have been skipping antagonists and with how much the marketing is trying to obscure a main antagonist I think there's potential that they would not have supplied Lego with concept art of the main antagonist out of concern of it leaking. I would imagine if we do get an additional set it may not even include such an antagonist, but instead give us Spider-man, Sadie Sink, Hand Ninja, Michelle and probably re-using Scorpion as he's only available in the larger set.
