-snip- double posted accidentally D:

I wish i had collected them sooner, a lot were released in 2016 and are very difficult to track down. I think i am missing about 10 suits I think a combination of Herobloks and Aliexpress might be helpful. Gamma i went with 'SY223'. Sneaky i went with 'DLP9080-8'. I believe i am missing 13, 14, 18, 24, 27, 29, 31, 32 and 34... any help would be appreciated though may have to move to DM's :)

My current plans for the Hall of Armour is rather intense, aiming for an almost complete set of 50 variants - however several simply do not exist even in the forms of customisers or knock-off's so will have to either fill them with other versions or leave them blank Thanks :) Looks alright, but would be quite expensive Maybe it would be better to Bricklink extra layers or redesign to give it a slightly more industrial/Sci-Fi feel. Quantum Realm suits feel unspecified to Iron Man, so would say no personally. If we had gotten an Arc Reactor on his chest or something like that then i would say yes, but at the moment it looks a little underwhelming. War Machine is a similar scenario, it's not Iron Man personally - other than the Iron Man Mark 2 suit which War Machine steals and modifies which could count as both a War Machine suit and an Iron Man suit. The Iron Legion would work best displayed seperately, especially as they are treated more as 'conveyor belt' style drones rather than suits Tony would potentially wear. I'd say that the Quantum Realm suit could be displayed in a sealed clear box - treated kind of like a radiation suit, the Iron Legion would work as something Tony is fixing (or flying around) and the War Machine suits would work as a seperate section off to the side. Mark 38 minifigure scale variant filling the space - while using a brickbuilt or bigfig scale Igor to go around the lab segment helping out by lifting objects, etc... Mark 43 variant to fill the space - the Mark 44 would be stored in Space (Not displayed) Mark 48 has not been confirmed, so i am going to use 'Rescue' as i feel it would be very 'Tony Stark' to have made her a suit after the events of Homecoming (Where he had the Mark 47) when the two got engaged Mark 49 has never been confirmed as the Hulkbuster 2.0, so i will likely be replacing this with the Mark 50 variant from the Avengers Assemble series which i feel would work well as a prototype for the MCU Mark 50.

Ah, did not know about that - that's pretty fast considering we only had official images of some of them fairly recently.

We knew about this a while ago, back when the obvious knock-off set that featured Thanos and a bunch of monsters appeared online and media outlets desperate for news decided to try and pass it off as being an actual set If you are referring to the QRS/ATS suit versions though, they actually look pretty good considering they are based on the concept art and have the 'A' arm and full printing. Ordered a few along with some of the other Endgame stuff when they appeared so should hopefully have them by next week. Just the visuals of the arm printing with the 'A' make the suit look more finished than the plain white arms that Lego provided - wish Lego had based it on the concept art, it may have been inaccurate to the finished product, but it looks so much better. Would personally try and get the Hall Of Armour as soon as possible honestly - it's going to be highly sought after for both the figures and for the potential of getting several for a larger Hall Of Armour. If you can time the Hall Of Armour purchase with the '30452-1: Iron Man and Dum-E' polybag (If it applies) then you'd make the most out of it. I can see the War Machine Buster getting reduced fairly quickly similar to the previous Hulkbuster style sets. Personally going to be after the Hall Of Armour, i like the figures even if i feel that MK41 needed arm printing. With luck i may have close to 50 different Iron Man variants before Endgame - though some figures are trickier than others to find/replicate.

Far From Home set thoughts; Molten Man Battle's inclusion of Mysterio and the Stealth Suit variant is an interesting choice, being the cheapest of the three sets. Molten Man himself looks interesting, but does not really look like the shots of Molten Man we have seen so far. Maybe he gains a bulky form later on, kind of like Sandman in Spider-man 3, but would have preferred a figure version of Molten Man instead of the Fireman or in addition to the Fireman. Hydro-Man Attack is probably my favourite set of the wave. The build looks good and the figure selection works well. Hydro-Man being a minifigure is great for adding alongside Sandman, but personally think he'd have been more suited to getting a brick-built figure than Molten Man. The half-masked Peter Parker seems to be inspired by a few knock-off's and custom figures, it's nice that Lego is taking ideas from them to use here. Stark Jet and the Drone Attack is easily the weakest set of the wave, the figure selection would work if Spider-man recieved his variant Red/Black costume and Happy Hogan was more accurate - but otherwise the only reason to get this would be an innacurate Happy Hogan and a Nick Fury variant. Overall, the Far From Home sets express more creativity and effort with the builds than the majority of the Endgame sets, but express similar issues of re-use and repeated figures (admittedly this time with figures people want). The re-use of Mysterio three times is an interesting choice allowing people to get a few spare Mysterio, but at the same time this makes more expensive sets less appealing when you will already have 2/4 of the figures of the 'Stark Jet and the Drone Attack' as you almost certainly brought the Homecoming Vulture/Shocker set which included an Iron Man variant. The inclusion of more civilian characters is another interesting choice and while i am sure people wanted to get Michelle, Nick Fury and Happy Hogan - only Nick Fury has any level of accuracy with neither of the other figures looking accurate. The main downside of these sets is the missing figures - Sandman (Earth Elemental) and Electro (Wind Elemental?) are not included and we also lack any variation in Mysterio such as an unmasked form OR Spider-man's red/black suit. It kind of feels like this was originally two sets; Mysterio, Stealth Spider-man, Happy Hogan Hydro-man, Michelle, Peter Parker, Nick Fury With the jet being a last minute addition and the moving of figures resulting in Mysterio being replicated, inclusion of the Fireman to fill the figure slot in the cheapest set and the addition of a repeat Spider-man in the Jet set.

It is. Solo movie every two years. Appearance in another movie every year inbetween. Civil War 2016, Homecoming 2017, Infinity War 2018, Far From Home 2019, ? 2020, Spider-man 3 2021. After Spider-man 3 the contract ends unless they extend it. Spider-man is contracted for 6 movies, Infinity War and Endgame count as one movie.

The Hollywood reporter speculated about Doctor Strange 2 having a potential May release date and latched it onto the 2021 date. It is entirely a rumor, generated on one site that did not consider the contractually obligated Spider-man 3 in 2021. Given the previous movie was released November 4th 2016 and Spider-man is a massive property that always features a release near the start/middle of the year (Normally July) - it makes no sense to flip those around and risk an established Spider-man film making less money with a November release for the sake of Doctor Strange whose first movie performed average. Shang Chi only found a director 2 days ago so a release date in 2020 is not possible. Black Panther, Doctor Strange and Spider-man 3 are all scheduled for 2021 so that prevents a release then - this is why it is a speculated Feb 2022 release date. Guardians Of The Galaxy 3 is being worked on after Suicide Squad 2 - which means the earliest the director could start work on it would be late 2020/early 2021. With the success of the first movie they moved release dates to May to make the most of it - this is why it is a speculated May 2022 release date. Ant-Man, like Spider-man, normally recieves a release in July. This makes the sole July release date announced more likely to be for Ant-Man. Normally the Ant-Man films are released with a 3 year gap between them (2015, 2018) however as mentioned 2021 is full - this is why it is a speculated July 2022 release date. Captain Marvel has a similar scenario. 2021 is full so 2022 would be the earliest however it would be fighting for a place against Guardians Of The Galaxy 3 as i doubt Marvel would risk having Captain Marvel & Guardians Of The Galaxy 3 released so close to each other. Avengers films normally occur every 3 years; 2012. 2015, 2018. However Endgame throws this off a bit with the 2019 release date. If it returns to the original pattern then it'll be released in 2022 - however Avengers normally takes a May release date so that would mean delaying or shifting Guardians 3, neither of which seems likely - this is why it is a speculated 2023 release date.

A lot of the more colorful armours can be released via random sets at a later point, the more iconic ones likely will be tied to the MCU's license though which is probably why it took so long to do Mark 1 (Featured heavily in Iron Man) and Mark 5 (Featured heavily in Iron Man 2) Ideally i'd like them to focus on the armours that got prominant roles in the movies. MK 2, 3 and 4 need to be released to give us the chance to fill the Hall Of Armours with the starting suits allowing a collection of MK 1-7 MK 40 being released gives us a consecutive run from MK37 - MK47 The games featured MK 16, 25 and 40 so it's clear Lego put some thought into them at some point as figures Rumored Timeline; Spider-man Far From Home; July 5, 2019 Black Widow; May 1, 2020 (Filming begins June 2019) Eternals; November 6, 2020 (Filming begins August 2019) Black Panther 2; February 12, 2021 (Filming begins late 2019/early 2020) Spider-man 3; May 7, 2021 (Contractually obligated to have a solo movie in 2021) Doctor Strange 2; November 5, 2021 (Production begins in 2020) Shang Chi; February 18, 2022 Guardians Of The Galaxy 3; May 6, 2022 (Director is working on Suicide Squad 2 until 2021) Ant-Man 3; July 29, 2022 Captain Marvel 2; 2023 (Probably adapting Secret Invasion being released before or after Avengers 5) Avengers 5; 2023

I am not as fussed with getting a fully printed version of the Mark 41, it's a nice suit, but i dont think it will be part of my Hall Of Armour display (Not the initial display anyway) as i am more focused on some of the other suits. I dont mind leaving some without arm printing as a result, though admittedly some really need something as without arm printing they feel incomplete. In terms of potential non-Lego arms, the options are primarily Penzora's Mark 41, Breakneck Light Armor and xh855 (Killmonger). Breakneck Light Armor is the most accurate though feels overdetailed and has a higher chance of clashing with Lego's level of detailing. Personally would lean towards xh855 being the cheapest while having a simple design that i feel would fit Lego's style. Though it is a shame Lego did not give the Mark 41 arm printing of some kind given no official option exists that would complete the suit.

Notes from the new trailer; Unlike the concept art, the QRS/ATS lack shoulder printing making the Lego versions more accurate War Machine's QRS/ATS needed a variant torso as it is effectively a painted version of his suit seen in the prior trailer. Hawkeye has his Ronin suit and the 'circular Time Travel device' seen in filming We get a glimpse at Scale Cap Nebula is shown with the Infinity War outfit Nebula & Tony are seen among them in the group shot wearing the QRS/ATS Opinions on the QRS/ATS have slightly improved, but the lack of War Machine getting a variant is disappointing. Yeah, Silver Centurion arms for Mark 5, Tin Man arms for Mark 1. I dont think any arms would work for Bones as Lego have not really made any black & gold arms - the closest we get is black with two yellow lines

Look into the Kiddicraft incident. Lego was founded on illegality and immoral decisions. Probably the best option.

Here is a better look at the non-QRS/ATS core Avengers.

Discounts of official sets do not change the figures included or the printing on the figures and i doubt Lego can compete with buying multiple high quality figures for less than $1. Lego can compete on many things, but price is not one of them. Lego is losing sales due to business decisions they make. It's not morally wrong. It is also not 'counterproductive' to the goals people have expressed. Everyone wanted additional figures/sets so why not buy the additional figures/sets that are being produced by knock-off's given we are never going to get more Captain Marvel sets based on her current movie? It is quite simply the only option to get a majority of these characters. 7 years of doing this changed nothing. Buying sets you are not happy with will just encourage them to make more sets like that set OR they will see demand and think they can reduce the quality as the sets are performing well anyway. What i am trying to say is even if an additional set is planned it will not deliver every missing figure that we should have gotten in this wave and it will be released months after Endgame - once the hype has already dissipated and we are looking towards the next wave of MCU movies I'd just like to be able to have the core Avengers in the Endgame outfits before the movie, to experience the hype of the film and then be able to come back and MOC some of my favourite scenes or have a recreation of a sequence of the film. I cannot do that with just the QRS/ATS that may not even be featured in the movie.

I was also until Infinity War when i ended up getting a Custom Thanos. I can understand the purist desire, but chances are we will be waiting a long time for Captain Marvel to get full printing the likes of the custom figure and we'll likely never see any of her squad adapted - while customs have provided the entire team with full printing on each. Personally i want to be able to get the Hall Of Armor as soon as it is released and be able to populate it with (At least) mark 1 - 8, which simply is not possible in terms of official figures - i'd also like to get improved versions of some of the Infinity War figures. I'll still get official figures/sets if they interest me and replace any customs with official figures when they are released if they improve upon the design/accuracy - but i think for the time being that they will serve the purpose.

Just buy the customs

Build looks alright, figure is 'ok'. Glad we are finally getting more Tony Stark/Iron Man variants, but still hope we get Ronin, Rescue and Scale Cap in some form. His right arm is just the usual Iron Man red. The left arm might have something silver printed on it OR it might just be the lighting as you said. Leaning towards it being the lighting.

I'd suspect that 40334 is a Diagon Alley style representation of New York, as seen in Avengers - probably throwing in a random appearance of Rescue to help convince people to get it.

Maybe... normally; Speculation of an additional set occurs with justification normally being 'spoilers' Evidence is leaked of an additional figure or a specific new mold Rumors of the additional set begin to appear We end up seeing nothing for a while after the rumors so give up hope of the set existing The set is confirmed to exist Could still happen, given we have seen the Gold/Blue helmet which is believed to be for Rescue - however that could easily be with the exclusive box/set thing for the Superhero theme that was discussed earlier.

For me the problem is primarily that building though. It's not accurate to anything we have seen in Endgame nor any of the prior movies. Unless it appears in the movie it seems to have been made up entirely by Lego - and the set is so lacking in regards to the build that they advertise sitting the figures down around a table along with a spinning radar dish Best option would to easily fix the original set would be; Scrap the Helicopter & Car - Use the budget to improve the figures Remove Outrider - Replace with Chitauri variant with leg printing Give Captain Marvel dual molded legs (Not printed) - Or remove her entirely and replace with Scale Cap (Printed Torso & Helmet) Give Nebula arm printing with the 'A' logo printed on the arms - Vastly increases collectability of the QRS/ATS. Replace main building of Avengers Compound with something sharing a similar design to the main building depicted here.

We have seen Igor at this point also. The blue/gold helmet matches the non-lego toy version of Rescue that leaked.

Some good suggestions, though i think most the War Machine armours have the number on them. Unsure if the Mark 4 Torso does or not. I'll probably end up going with a custom. The only thing i'm guessing is that it would feature Rescue, given the Helmet leak of Blue & Gold. Other than that, the set might be an extension of either the Avengers Compound OR the Iron Man Armor Room. Personally leaning towards it being an extension of the Armour Room given that entire playset is made to be modular. Guess i may end up getting the Quinjet after all to cover the cost required for the exclusive set :P

You are right, we are probably missing the 'Mark 5'. The inaccuracies between the Mark 6 helmet we have gotten and the promo art threw me off. In which case we are missing the Mark 5 suit and sadly decreases chances of us getting the Mark 6 design which i feel is superior to the Mark 5. We have seen two different suits - one is the 'Mark 5' shown in the trailer, the other is the 'Mark 6' (Shown in promotional art).They share similarities that hint that they are a direct evolution from one to the other - specifically in the shoulder design. Though the chest and mask is vastly different and he has a much larger weapon.

War Machine Buster is the Mark 4.5 - so we have the Mark 5 and 6 War Machine we are missing. The head of the Mark 5 appears to be included in 76124 so chances are we wont get the Mark 5 armour as they'll use the QRS/ATS version as a replacement. Main missing figures: War Machine 'Mark 6' Captain America 'Scale Suit' Hawkeye 'Ronin Suit' Rescue (Helmet may have been leaked) Other variants missing; Hulk 'QRS/ATS' Hulk 'Prof Hulk suit' Rocket 'Comic suit'
