Considering the Daily Bugle is still available in 2025 it's hard to believe Lego will make and sell 3 "skyscrapers" based on Marvel at the same time.The house/appartment of Peter Parker as the replacement of Sanctum makes more sense for me. The Bridge based on Spider Man comics/movies also seems more interesting like a model/architecture and very useful for those who create a city in Lego (the target audience of such modular buildings of Marvel i believe)
The Daily Bugle would likely be phased out at the end of 2025 as it would have been around 4 years at that point, at a push it sticks around till 2026 but that seems unlikely. We're already seeing Lego sell the Daily Bugle, Avengers Tower, Barad Dur and
I'm still leaning to a remake of the Helicarrier for 2025, would work well for the 10th anniversary of Avengers: Age Of Ultron as it appeared right at the end. Then they could include some Age of Ultron figures from that scene such as Captain America, Black Widow, Nick Fury, Maria Hill and War Machine.

Honestly the product leak made it look more like a stretched version of TLBM Arkham Asylum just with a seperate gate at the front. Primarily a facade as opposed to a modular.

I could see them doing something like this in 2028 and beyond, depending where the MCU goes. As by that point it'll have been 20 years and if the original phase 1-3 are still held in fairly high regard they'll probably keep revisiting them. I imagine they'd want an older MCU audience in order to justify more sets focused on display as opposed to play.

Why him rather than Sonic?
Tis the year of Shadow :P Probably will get Sonic next year. At least it implies the likelihood of us getting another year of Sonic sets though. Doubt the theme would end without giving us a Sonic bust/head to go alongside Shadow.

According to mtdbricks, the Surtur set is the opening battle. Just Thor and a Fire Demon along with a buildable Surtur. 245 pieces so probaby going to be like Steppenwolf or maybe Zurg. Kinda expected, hope Surtur looks good and maybe we'll be lucky and they'll focus on figure accuracy.
On 4/6/2024 at 2:13 PM, BrickBob Studpants said:That‘s what‘s been frustrating about the Infinity Saga sets to me. There are so many films they could revisit (or cover for the first time even), but they instead focus on the same movies, giving us the same characters over and over again
Especially this summer! It‘s a pretty substantial wave, and there’s not even one new character (Surtur excluded) or at least noteworthy variant anywhere? Come on.
I can kinda understand the forest sets, it's a unique location and wasn't really given focus in the AoU wave they released beyond an exclusive set... but it's not the main selling point of the film and Lego should know that. Nobody was freaking out about them fighting in a snowy forest as opposed to them fighting Ultron's in a ruined cathedral structure with a strange metallic device they are guarding.
They probably need to communicate and organise the licensing each time they return to a prior film and it's debatable each time as to whether the market will still be there. The only ones that are a certainty are Iron Man and Spider-man, but it's no doubt difficult for them to get licensing to approve that and they'd still want to tie it into new film releases.
Taking a look forward, here are my predictions for 2025 at the moment:
- Sets for the films: Captain America 4, Thunderbolts and Fantastic Four (Blade probably delayed to 2026)
- Sets for 'Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man' and 'Iron Heart'
- Legacy sets from Age Of Ultron (10th anniversary) focusing on the latter half of the movie (Quicksilver, Baron Strucker, Ultimate Ultron, Vision, etc...)
- Legacy set from Captain America franchise to tie in with Captain America 4/Thunderbolts
- CMF Series 3 featuring figures from Marvel Zombies, Agatha, Eyes of Wakanda, Daredevil: Born Again S1 and Iron Heart
- Probably a D2C set, maybe a UCS Helicarrier (10th anniversary remake) or a comic styled Baxter building (To tie into Fantastic Four)

Increases
- 76286: The Milano $169.99 -> $179.99
- 76287: Iron Man Vs Hulk (4+) $10.99 -> $14.99
- 76289: Surtur Battle ($24.99 -> $29.99
Milano makes sense to increase, GotG is a fairly popular franchise and its the most popular ship. Not sure the 4+ set needed a price increase. Surtur Battle we've not got enough information to really judge, but I don't think it'll be worth $29.99 unless it's another buildable figure for Surtur like with the Sandman NWH set - even then it's one I'll grab on discount for Surtur if it happens.

- 76297: Dancing Potted Groot $59.99 -> $44.99
These all make sense given the declined interest in 76291 after the reveal it's focused on the AoU: Forest scene. Dancing Potted Groot is just another Groot so maybe they expect less interest. Avengers Vs Loki I'm guessing at this point it'll be mostly recycled figures people have already. I'd argue the Iron Legion Battle Pack is still overpriced and will be aiming to get it for cheaper than that, if the figures appeal (or bricklink them)

Same, my hope is for comic-inspired sets at this point. Other than Human Torch and maybe Thing I would'nt want figures of the other film versions of these characters. I'm after legacy and comic inspired (or stuff that could pass for comic inspired) at this point.
Fingers crossed 2025 will give us 10th anniversary Age Of Ultron sets based on the latter half of the film to occupy my collecting. Lego really need to prioritize legacy sets at this point if they want to secure sales.

That set was probably designed a decade ago and has no relevance today.
Every other revealed set of which we had a preliminary set leak in that batch, were all very close to the finalized version. We have'nt seen any massive changes between the prelims and the finalized versions regarding figures or builds, so not expecting it to change here.
You can still find the leaked image to look for yourself, but a lot of the character's costumes are different hinting to it being more of a comic-inspired set OR perhaps an old X-Men TAS inspired set as opposed to the new series. The version of Mystique they have for instance is naked on the Lego version while the X-Men series depicts her wearing white clothing. The version of Cyclops they have is more detailed than the version we got in the X-Jet and is wearing a darker uniform.
I could see the arguement being that the below are placeholders, but why use the 2014 Wolverine rather than updated 2022 versions they would have had access to at the time?
I think Lego plan on revisiting these designs and giving us updated versions of these figures, which were based on the comics.

According to MTDbricks, the mansion will have around 10 minifigures.
The original preliminary set had 9 figures and looked to lean more to the comics or movies for inspiration as opposed to the X-Men 97 cartoon:
- Prof.X
- Magneto
- Wolverine
- Storm
- Cyclops
- Beast
- Mystique
- Sabertooth
- Emma Frost
I imagine that this line-up will be in the final set, the same as in the preliminary design. This is effectively five heroes Vs four villains currently, so the missing 10th figure could be an additional member of Magneto's brotherhood of mutants. That said, It'd be easy enough for them to re-use Rogue's figure from the X-Jet also.
If it is indeed a new figure I'd lean to it being Toad, Pyro or Jean Grey
- Toad would complete the original Brotherhood of Mutants line-up seen in the 2003 X-Men movie
- Pyro works as a sort of hero-turned-villain and they could easily play off the fire aspects for playability
- Jean Grey is extremely popular as a character, notable throught the franchise as a whole
2 hours ago, LemonFlavouredBleach said:If wolverine, storm and beast take up spots again thats the biggest waste
I imagine it'll follow the preliminary, so all three of these would be included.

I'd imagine that we get six sets in total for the live action 2025 films, with Blade likely to be cancelled or at minimum pushed back into 2026.
- 1 set for Captain America 4
- 3 sets for Thunderbolts
- 2 sets for Fantastic Four
In terms of layout:
- Red Hulk, Sam Cap, Torres Falcon, Sabra
- Winter Soldier, Ghost, Taskmaster
- U.S. Agent, Red Guardian, Valentina
- Sentry, Yelena, Thunderbolt Ross (Red Hulk?)
- Fantasticar Build with Invisible Woman, The Thing and Galactus's Herald
- Galactus Build with Mr.Fantastic, Human Torch and Herbie
Only thing making me hesitate is that this layout would lack repeats, though I'd imagine some of the figures would be recycled for usage in Avengers 5/6.

After the Daily Planet I'd imagine they would do Wayne Manor OR Arkham Asylum instead of doing a Teen Titans modular.
In terms of Marvel D2C's I think the most likely would be a revamped Avengers Helicarrier which they seem to be teasing given the midi-scale version. The Hulkbuster MK2 I could easily see getting a larger version eventually. Iron Man Mansion seems like a logical choice for the 20th anniversary of Iron Man in 2028, similarly being the 20th anniversary of the MCU as a whole they'd likely want to do a big set that celebrates the entire theme featuring a bunch of Phase 1-6 characters.

I feel Lego stripped the set of all the tonal aspects and colour scheme that was one of the core aspects of the appeal, how the design took itself seriously. It reminds me of what they did to the Pirates of Barracuda Bay set. They've stripped it of the visuals that appeal to the primary demographic. Instead they've just applied an asthetic for another theme - in this case going along with their lion knights castle or more cartoony fantasy sets.
The official set looks like it's a childrens cartoon version of Dungeons & Dragons despite its primary audience both due to concept and pricing being late teens/adults. Like many other Lego sets, this one feels like it does not understand the target audience. As for the build itself, the Dragon is excellent. The rest of the build is a downsized, less detailed and more cramped situation. I don't see the justification for people to get it as opposed to just finding a way to acquire the Dragon seperately and depicting the Dragon alongside other sets.

With these leaks, should I even get the Avengers Tower at this point?
I'm holding off on Avengers Tower until heavy discount or lots of VIP points. I think externally it looks alright, but mostly as a display model. There's not much really focused around AoU where that design was most prominant, instead leaning more towards Avengers and Endgame when it was an entirely different exterior. I think we'll probably wind up getting a second wave of AoU sets focusing on the Ultron side of the movie next year, as would be the 10th anniversary of the film, so I expect we'll get variations of some of the figures in that set. I imagine the set will probably retire in 2026/2027 so you've got a while.

- Hulkbuster Battle: Ultron Prime, Scarlet Witch, Iron Man, Hulk Big-Fig, Brick-built Hulkbuster

Then probably a NWH Bridge Battle, a legacy set, handful of show/comic-inspired Spider-man sets, three sets for Thunderbolts, two sets for Fantastic Four and probably CMF S3 and a D2C movie-inspired set at the end of the year

Green Goblin I like how the detailing is all done with tiles as opposed to printed segments. The printing on the face piece is appropriately scary looking and it's nice they made the head stretch backwards with a brick-built segment. The Glider is well designed also and would look nice displayed on its own. The price is too high for those the buildable figures are aimed at and it doesn't have a minifigure unlike the Batpod set so there's less incentive for non-fans of the buildable figures. The scale of the figure to the glider is off, the glider's mid segment is fine but the wings needed to be larger. It also feels more comic-inspired than movie-inspired. The chin is about 2x the size it is supposed to be and I think lets down the head build.
Spider-man is 'eh'. The Iron Spider limbs are a lot thinner than they are meant to be, resulting in them coming across as flimsy. I doubt you'll be able to replicate the scenes of the limbs supporting his body for example. They also don't particularly look good when displayed so I'm not sure why they even bothered doing the Iron Spider suit. While I don't mind a printed torso on occasions where they cannot replicate with brick-built, here it comes across as awkward with the multiple layered approach - which does not help given its not accurate to the suit either. The lower legs needed to extend down so that they could go around the body forming his belt, which the figure does not replicate. Indeed, the back of the figure is lacking the Spider-emblem in favour of an attachment point for the previously mentioned flimsy looking Iron Spider limbs.
In terms of new aspects, Green Goblin has a slightly improved thinner hand design capable of attaching pieces to it, but otherwise I'm not really seeing much innovation between this wave and the previous in terms of new techniques or aspects that really stand out to demonstrate that the theme is trying new building techniques or implimenting new ideas/pieces. It's possible that any design innovations would present themselves on Falcon Cap, but we probably won't see that for a year. I'm glad we got a villain at least as there was no real conflict between the buildable characters prior.If we get figures in the future I'd hope for:
- Raimi Spider-man (Pairs well with Green Goblin)
- Andrew Spider-man (Pairs well with the buildable figure Sandman in the Final Battle expansion set)
- Vulture (Head works for rounded piece, re-use the wings from Falcon Cap, another villain to swoosh around)
2 hours ago, Murdoch17 said:No problem! It seems a lot of leakers have gone away, honestly. I guess LEGO has really tightened their grip on this type of info which is not a bad thing (except for us fans!), as it keep competitors from beating them to market with similar stuff / straight-up copycats.
In theory this crackdown would stop leaks and stop competitors from replicating Lego's products. In practice it damages online discussion because at best we only get a rough idea of the names of some sets and then are left for months with no additional details other than announcements of product delays. It prevents people planning purchases accordingly - not helped by Lego's price gouging turning people to look for other cheaper brands.
A few leakers, whether due to this or other factors, have either stopped posting or became less active. @Falconfan1414 seems to have disappeared completely with no explanation, which is concerning. Hope they are doing alright.

Not sure exactly which you are referring to, but some sets are listed as superheroes as opposed to Marvel or DC when we first get product information on them. I imagine Brickmerge just uses those sources until provided with more detailed info.

I don't think the Spider-Man, Miles, Venom and Iron Man figures are horrible. Those 4 are fine displays in my collection.
In general the buildable character system works best with non-human characters with rounded faces or masks. Human attributes rarely work and building on aspects to the facial structure has mixed results. Sometimes you end up with a Batman mask, other times you end up with whatever the Ant-Man helmet was trying to be.

THAT Kang was not meant to be the Phase 4-6 antagonist and that 3+ other variants are.
THAT Kang from Ant-Man 3 was meant to be the primary antagonist of Phase 4-6, he was banished for being a threat to the other Kangs who had attempted to destroy him with his timeline, but he survived.
SpoilerHis backstory of being the sole survivor of his timeline was intentionally cut from Ant-Man 3 to be used in Kang Dynasty. The idea was THAT Kang would form an uneasy alliance with the Avenger against his variants, only to end up betraying the Avengers later at a grasp at ultimate power - making him the primary Kang for Secret Wars/Avengers Forever.
20 hours ago, PGBQW said:But still no. If they know their movie is bad, they'd doubled down on merchandising to make up for the money.
Lego know Marvel fans are interested in certain characters, the trouble is they need to prove viability. The best way to do this is when a series or film helps make a character popular. As such if Madame Web helps people to know who certain characters are then it may result in us getting comic versions of the characters down the line.
Though considering how little of the movie has the characters in their iconic costumes along with the movies performance, I'm not sure it's really reinvigorated interest in the characters - which is a shame as a comic version of Madame Web or the Spider-women would be nice. I imagine that they'd be put in to fill spots in comic-inspired sets or Spider-man sets as you could get away with limited printing for some of them.

I'm really curious as to what LEGO will end up doing for the F4 in 2025.
I imagine we'd get at least two sets based on the film, one featuring Big-Fig Thing, the other featuring the main villain. We could get three sets, but I think two would work.
- Captain America 4 is seemingly only getting 1 set
- Thunderbolts is probably going to get 3 sets, but the shifting release dates probably means we won't get the sets on time
- Fantastic Four probably getting 2 or 3 sets
1 hour ago, poisonbricks said:I'm really curious as to what LEGO will end up doing for the F4 in 2025.
I'd imagine they have plans for another comic-inspired D2C set in 2025. Similar to the Daily Bugle as it will have been around 4 years at that point.
2026/2027 would give us an MCU inspired D2C as they'd want cross-promotion with Avengers 5/6/7.
2028 would then give us a 20th anniversary D2C, as they seem to be remembering that Marvel has those - given the Milano is listed as a 10th anniversary set for that film.

I'd imagine Galactus would be a buildable figure similar to how they tackled Sandman recently. I think the poor sales of the Arishem set means there's little chance for that style to be replicated, though admittedly that is the alternative. I think anything smaller scale would'nt really fit.

It is confirmed that it is a buildable 2002/NWH Bridge Battle Green Goblin with Glider buildable figure.
We don't have any confirmation on if it includes a figure. The hope is that because the Batman buildable figure has a minifigure, maybe they'll do the same for the Green Goblin buildable figure.
17 hours ago, Legocentrico said:In truth, until yesterday we knew about the recast, not about a huge downsizing of the character, even close to exclusion from the film, according to some sources. Of course not getting the minifigure would be very disappointing, and makes me hate that 2023 set even more.
We knew the actor was fired and would be replaced. There was never a discussion about scrapping Kang completely as then those that supported the MCU would feel like prior set-up was meaningless. Kang's role being downsized was stated when they dropped the title of the film and it just became 'Avengers 5', was clear at that point he would'nt be as much of a focal point. In terms of exclusion the only mention of that I've seen involves excluding the character from Avengers 5 and having him in Avengers 6/7 - which would still likely result in us getting a figure.
Even with the downsizing, if he's one of the core villains of Avengers 5/6/7 then he'll wind up getting included. By that point in time it'd be a Kang figure based on a different actor, thus circumventing the controversy surrounding giving us the character. It's also entirely possible that Lego never intended to give us Kang at this stage regardless, preferring to save him for Avengers 5/6/7 to improve set sales later.

This is the likely justification for if/when he's not in avengers 5 and 6 sets despite being in the film. There's a not-insignificant chance Secret Wars features north of 100 heroes- anyone lego's worried about even remotely, they aren't including.
Yeah, the potential for an Endgame scale roster of named characters is insane. I think Lego are going to struggle trying to give us all the characters in set form. It'll probably take several years of waves of sets inspired by the films. As such any non-main character I would'nt expect to get anytime soon.

It primarily comes down to how Lego want themselves to be viewed. If they're willing to include Deadpool in potential Avengers sets then there's zero justification as to why we would'nt get some form of Deadpool 3 set featuring Wolverine and Deadpool - yet according to leakers there's no plans for Deadpool 3 sets or seemingly any plans for Deadpool to show up this year.
It primarily has potential to impact Lego's brand image and Lego's sales of products.

Like we predicted, wave 3 only has super sonic as a new minifig, the knuckles shrine set has him and amy in it
Unfortunate if that's the case, but I suppose it makes sense as they'd want to be sure they can phase out the older sets presumably near the end of this year while having all the figures available on shelves.
No clue what the 18+ set is, I'm still expecting either a buildable Sonic figure (Like Rocket Raccoon) or an addition to the 2D level-inspired stages.
I'd hope we get Super Shadow in December/January around the release of Sonic Movie 3.

Just now, THELEGOBATMAN said:
They wouldn't transport Deadpool into the MCU if they didn't plan to include him in any other movies.
Let's see if he survives Deadpool 3 first xD
He's a complicated character to fit into their films which mostly aim for a PG-12 audience. They could easily intend to have him literally be 'Marvel's Jesus' and have him do a big self-sacrifice in order to give the MCU a chance to survive.
I think realistically we just have too many characters in the future Avengers movies for Lego to focus on trying to adapt a character that won't suit their target demographic.

25 minutes ago, Lego Nostalgia said:
Rumors are that Kevin Feige is considering putting Deadpool and Wolverine in Avengers 5 so if that happens do you think we'll get them in a set since the movie is PG-13 so why not.
Depends on their focus. I think the easiest way would be a polybag, 18+ Deadpool Mask/Bust set, Comic-inspired Deadpool or something like that. Seperating Deadpool from everything else would help to ensure it does not impact the sales of the sets, which would be one of Lego's concerns of including an adult focused character such as Deadpool.
Just now, THELEGOBATMAN said:Secret Wars has potential to be the most soulless, cameo-filled movie ever made
Though I would'nt be surprised if we don't get accurate Avengers movie sets until a year or so after release, depends how they market the films.
There's also likely to be a large cast of characters so if Deadpool is just a small role then the chance of him being included is slim. I'd imagine it'll take them several years worth of sets to give us all the characters from Avengers 5 & Avengers 6 (Potentially Avengers 7 if its split)
8 hours ago, Legocentrico said:I'm probably too suspicious and see conspiracies everywhere :-)
That's fair, I'd consider the same if it was more reoccuring and if it was more specifically focused, but this is not the first time they've failed to give us villains and I can at least see potential reasons for why we would'nt have gotten them.
7 hours ago, Lego Nostalgia said:Joker is worse than all 3 of them combined lol
I think it depends on what it is adapting from specifically, though admittedly the more likely explanation is a mixture of budget, focus and marketability.
Which is more marketable, a gold character (Adam Warlock) who pairs with the other gold character your released (Ayesha) or a guy wearing a purple suit (High Evolutionary)
I'd hope eventually we'll get legacy sets revisiting characters, but we are still waiting on The Destroyer, Whiplash MK1, Kurse, Malekith, Kaecilius, Ego and probably several other villains from prior phases they skipped. We'll get there eventually I imagine.

I don't want to touch on hot topics, but the villains who have been omitted in 2023 all have one common characteristic.
You forget Dar-Benn from The Marvels.
Given how poorly the prior Ant-Man sets sold (We only got one set for the first and second film), it makes perfect sense as to why we only got a buildable figure for that where they didn't have to make new figures. I expect they intended to feature Kang in the CMF and then later in Avengers 5 sets before all the controversy happened. Kang after all would be highly saught after and people would pay extra just for Kang.
As for GotG3, my guess is that they thought Adam Warlock would be more popular and budget constraints led to them picking him over High Evolutionary. This is likely a repeat of what happened with GotG2 with Ego where we got Ayesha instead.
It is also easier to market sets to children with villains who are more generically evil as opposed to specific relatable or traumatising evils such as the child kidnapper (Dreykov), abusive parent (Ego) or the animal abuser (High Evolutionary).
59 minutes ago, Brickroll said:I'm still kind of shocked how little we have discussed the sets lined up. This year feels like Infinity Saga part 2 to me, I'm beyond hyped to see the summer wave and D2C.
I'm hyped by the concepts, need to see the execution.
- Buildable Green Goblin could be neat
- Surtur Battle I'm interested to see how they do Surtur
- Avengers Battle I'm curious as to what it'll include
- Helicarrier depends entirely how it'll be adapted
- Milano, need to see how it looks
- Iron Legion set I've lost some interest due to the higher pricing
- Age Of Ultron: Final Battle I think is mostly dependent on figures
There's other sets, but those are the ones I'm most curious about seeing and hopefully we'll see the buildable figures in March.

They've also mentioned doubts on us getting Quicksilver in the sets this year... which would be a shame.

I'd hope we get the comic inspired figures they teased.

Personal CMF Series 3 expectations:
-
U.S. Agent with Shield (TF&TWS)
- Would benefit from popularity of the character thanks to Thunderbolts, pairs well with prior CMF's. His black suit would feature in Thunderbolts while his more Captain America styled suit would feature here. -
Mobius & Miss Minutes (Loki S1/S2)
- Providing a core character from Loki, pairs well with prior CMF's. Loosely benefits from TVA being featured in Deadpool 3 without being directly connected -
Infinity Ultron (What If S1)
- They'll likely have new Ultron pieces made for the AoU: Final Battle they could re-use -
Kingpin Fower Shirt/Suit (Hawkeye)
- More iconic version could come later (Spider-man 4? Secret Wars?) -
Scarlet Scarab with her wings (Moon Knight)
- Providing a core character from Moon Knight, pairs well with prior CMF's -
Daredevil Yellow Suit (She-Hulk)
- More iconic version could come later (Secret Wars?) -
Kahhori (What If S2)
- New character Disney would want included -
Female Villain (Agatha)
- Pairs well with prior CMF's -
Dora Milaje member (Eyes Of Wakanda)
- Depending on the character could would work well opposed to Zombie Okoye. -
Wonder Man (Wonder Man)
- Main character from new series -
Zombie Okoye (Marvel Zombies)
- Would pair well with whichever Eyes of Wakanda character they adapt -
Zombie Scarlet Witch (Marvel Zombies)
- Pairs well with prior CMF's and would work well for those wanting to replicate MoM scenes also
I think they'd do a set for Iron Heart or save her for the Armour Wars film. What If S3 could easily get a set given it has mechs. Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-man seems certain to get some sets because Spider-man sells easily. X-Men could easily get more sets as opposed to CMF figures. Certain characters would be saved for later such as character who might be part of the Young Avengers team or given focused in the planned Avengers films.
Zemo I'd imagine would show up in either Captain America 4 or Thunderbolts so I'd expect him to be in those sets, likely having the same costume from TF&TWS.
12 hours ago, Brickroll said:Actually, on that note, what are the best Marvel sets?
I'm not sure what I'd consider the best. In terms of playability:
- Ayesha's Revenge, the spaceship features a neat mechanism I have'nt seen replicated enabling you to insert the pilot.
- Doc Ock's Fusion Lab, the spinning and flipping mechanism was pretty fun growing up.
Shoutout to the Legacy sets providing us with figures we would'nt otherwise get.
UCS Hulkbusters should also be acknowledged, though neither has really hit the nail on the head for accuracy, both are appreciated and help to push Lego mechs forward in terms of scale. I am intrigued as to what they'll do with the next UCS Hulkbuster.

Glad we're getting the full squad. Disappointing it has no 'combat in the box' though, including Ronan would have been neat, could have just done a variant torso for the new version so we get an updated version with his battle damage.
12 hours ago, Brickroll said:(Also, @Mandalorianknight and @Scarilian, the size of the two ships are probably outside the scope of my building ability, but I may give the Milano a shot)
I wish you luck, but honestly you might be best just doing the main rooms as opposed to the entire vessel. I'd also suggest waiting to see how they tackle the updated Milano first to see if that gives you any inspiration on how to tackle it (Even if that version won't be minifigure scale)
1 hour ago, PGBQW said:People don't want Daredevil and Spider-man?
Those two definitely have a level of appeal, but personally if a CMF does not have around half the figures I'm interested in then I won't bother trying to loot box them. I'd just bricklink or ebay the figures I want.
While getting obscure Disney+ figures can be neat, it'd benefit them more to focus on characters with more exposure who have either been featured in multiple shows or who are featured in films with the CMF providing a variant version.
Not saying they should stop the obscure or unique characters, just that they should ensure those who have no idea who these characters are enticed elsewise.

I'd agree, but I imagine that Lego's justification for dioramas is that it's targetting the Star Wars audience that grew up with the live action movies from around 1977 - 1983. The MCU doesn't have that amount of time yet so their experiments with older-focused products have been the busts and giant vehicles/robots. I suspect the 'Final Battle' sets are the first venture into the dioramas, but they are still trying to balance play with those.
Personally the Japanese Garden battle from Iron Man 2 would be a must buy if they ever made it.
