Where are you seeing this?

Wow, the set looks great! Interested to see the inside rooms. Gambit, Jean, and Bishop are standouts, whilst Professor X is quite lazy. I would have instantly forgiven the generic Bruce Wayne / Loki head if it had a new green suit torso.

Yeah, every single main and supporting character from the first Avengers film has been produced in LEGO form. Even those with a a couple of scenes, like Pepper or Coulson.

Wow, never thought I'd see the day where we'd be getting X-Men sets and Fantastic Four sets! Beyond excited for these iconic characters and locations to debut after 12 years of this line, and 11 years after their prominent feature in LEGO Marvel Superheroes videogame. Voting with my wallet, for sure.

No, it is exactly the point. These movies draw from existing material. Whenever a comic book character makes the jump from page to screen, is it "randomly inserting any kind of thing into their universe without previously establishing it"? It doesn't make sense for a character to only be allowed to appear in a movie if they have appeared in a previous movie. Besides, all of those characters have been in an MCU property anyways. This is irrelevant. Are the Eternals non-canonical because they haven't interacted with any other MCU characters?

A movie based on comics! The Daredevil show on Netflix is canon to the MCU, therefore Punisher is already an established character in the MCU.

Their idea is not that bad! It is inspired by one of the later Thunderbolts iterations in the comics with Red Hulk, Deadpool, Punisher, and Venom. Technically, all these characters have appeared in an MCU property (if you count the post-credit scene of Spider-Man: No Way Home). Creatively, it may be nice to have a team composed of lesser-known characters. However, it might not be great business decision to use a team of lesser-known characters (excluding Bucky) to draw the audience into cinemas in the context of MCU's current public perception. I think that more established characters could make the film a bigger hit outside of the core fan audience.

Completely agree with this comment. The reason the LEGO minifigure design is so simple is because her X-Men '97 character design is so simple. These aren't complicated MCU costumes they are translating into LEGO; they are cartoons. I think this is a great Jean Grey minifgure and I would absolutely prefer the budget to go to those characters with more complicated designs.

Team Bigfig for the Thing! I think it makes the Fantastic Four a more dynamic group design wise, children want to have The Thing fight the Hulk, and overall another bigfig would make the upcoming sets feel better value for money. I don't think the scaling is an issue here when compared to the Hulk, as if you compare the Hulk against any of the million Hulkbusters we have there is a far worse scaling issue. Also compare Iron Man versus Iron Monger for another more serious scaling issue.

Agreed. I definitely want the Thing to be a big-fig and the design looked great in the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Videgame! I really dislike the Axl and TMNT mutant molds as their torso is increased but the legs are the same, making the torso width about triple the size of their legs, resulting in the proportions looking wrong:/

I completely agree with the pain points about repetitive figures, but to be honest I have little love for legacy sets based on Marvel films that have already been well represented in LEGO form. All the Avengers films had significant waves upon release with and have since had supplementary sets so I don't fancy revisiting them year after year. Given a limited number of sets per year, I much prefer the legacy sets on films that did not receive sets upon release, for example the sets based on the first two Iron Man films. Sets for the first two Thor films or The Incredible Hulk would be great some day!

Completely agree that Morph is the least desirable character from the X-Men '97 team because he has the least iconography over X-Men media as a whole. Hoping for X-Men villains either in the X-Mansion or very soon else my heroes are gonna get very bored defeating Magneto and Sentinels soon Mystique, Sabreooth, Mr Sinister, Pyro, White Queen, Silver Samurai, Pyslocke are to mention a few without any new molds.

Wow Colossus and Jubilee look amazing here! Wishing for their minifig debut :)

I would love an Asgard D2C! The set could feature the Bifrost Bridge, Yggdrasil, Odin's Vault, and the Destroyer. Minifigures would include with Thor, Loki, Odin, Heimdall, Frigga, Lady Sif, the Warriors Three, and some Thor villains; such as Malekith, Kurse, Echantress, Executioner, and Laufey.

Assuming this leak is real, does anyone think that the set number 76294 could be covering up a minifgure, eg Magneto? Gambit and Storm seem to be attacking that location, and it's not like LEGO to miss a chance to put Magneto in an X-Men set.

Ditto, I'm hoping this is a promising sign of more X-Men sets to come.

Obviously Professor X

Wow, not sure a LEGO forum is the best place to be airing your discriminatory opinions. Triple threat with the racism, sexism, and homophobia.

Completely agree at how zero effort the latest set names are. It's either AI generated or SEO over-optimised - but either way it's creatively bankrupt.

Which LEGO DC sets am I buying this year? None. What are my top 3 LEGO DC sets? Batman: Arkham Asylum Breakout Darkseid Invasion Batcave Clayface Invasion Which set do I hate the most? Flying Fox: Batmobile Airlift Attack If we're including non-system sets such as Mighty Micros, then any Mighty Micro set that gave us a Superman rogue without ever having a normal system version. I wonder if we will ever get a normal Bizarro or Doomsday. What would be my dream set of next year? Build: Titans Tower Minifgures: Nightwing, Starfire, Raven, Beast Boy, Terra, Kid Flash, Speedy, Deathstroke, Trigon, Brother Blood, Blackfire, Jinx.

I don't think this is a myth. I actually think LEGO Marvel is really keen on antiheroes - for example, they recently produced minifgures for Loki, Namor, Scarlet Witch, Magneto, Agatha Harkness, and Echo. However, a lot of genuine villains have been missing from sets recently and it has become a pattern. Granted, the recent MCU villains haven't all been A-Listers but you only have to look across the aisle to LEGO Star Wars or Harry Potter and observe that lots of D-Listers from their films and shows get minifigures. Kang the Conqueror, Baron Zemo, Kingpin, and Mr Sinister are all big names in the world of comics and could all easily be included in recent sets or the CMFs. Marvel has a much bigger catalogue of supervillains than AIM goons, HYDRA goons, Chitauri, and Thanos.

Is this a reliable leak or your expectations? For the price of the X-Mansion, 10 figures seems very low. Great to finally have Professor X, Jean Grey, Gambit - although I have zero interest in Morph considering there are other more iconic X-Men not yet produced. I would prefer Nightcrawler, Jubilee, Sunspot, Cable, or Bishop to take his spot on the roster for this set. Moreover, the previously rumoured Mystique, Sabretooth, and White Queen would make great additions to this set. To be honest, any other X-Men villains such as Bastion, Mr Sinister, or Apocalypse would be great inclusions. It does seem strange that over the past few years, LEGO Marvel has almost completely ditched supervillains from their sets and focused entirely on superheroes. This pattern is the inverse of LEGO DC which focuses completely on Batman's Rogues Gallery and mostly features Batman as its only superhero. The popularity of the comic book media is driven by both its superheroes and supervillains and it's frustrating that LEGO doesn't reflect that. Praying to any and all gods out there that there is a follow-up wave of sets next January to satisfy my long-awaited LEGO X-Men desires.

Sorry, my message might as come across as very direct. I didn't mean they shouldn't be allowed to post - I just think they or anyone else shouldn't be allowed to post what is clearly spam for what feels like a long period of time now. I would rather not talk / read about anything in this forum than have it be full of spam. Hey I know you're just a spammy joker on here but this CMF released in 2018, which is 6 years ago. For custom figures, I'm sure a lot of people have a couple in their collection, but for the most part the official figure is the best. True, but some users are really stretching the definition of AFOL.

I have no idea how the mods let you on this forum as all you do is post spam and every sentence you write is inauthentic and childlike. I thought this forum was for adults. It was somewhat funny at first, but the joke is over now. Granted, I think some of these high-value collector's sets based off old IP are creative and unique. I think these sets would land much better if LEGO also offered the alternative of normal system sets that don't cost hundreds of pounds and based off the wider DC universe. Perhaps staleness is a better term to use than lack of creativity. I have lost count of how many Batmobiles, Batcycles, and Batwings have been released since the dawn of this theme in 2012. For example, there is no way to argue that this wave from last year has any freshness in it:

The creativity in this theme is dead; the latest set names are symbolic of this. This entire theme is rehashing old ideas, feels algorithmically generated, and in dire need of some fresh ideas. The fact that basically all the system sets in this theme are based on decades old Batman movies or animated series when so much of the DC mythos has been untouched by LEGO is sad.
