Modern video game character design tends towards overly busy, overly bulky, and militaristic, and it looks so, so bad to me. Certainly true of the Avengers game, but I guess the upside of simplifying those designs down to Lego house style is that the Minifigures come out looking pretty okay. Don't particularly need new variants of these characters, but I guess a good way to get a version of all the main Avengers on shelves since Endgame had them all in the QR suit. The one exception being the AIM soldier which looks bad. Good interpretation of the videogame design, but it's just the worst kind of videogame character design... Don't recognize that version of Anya Corozan's suit, but just happy to get any version of her.

Sooooo would I be right in assuming that the Stark Jet set sold pretty terribly considering BrickLink still doesn't have its parts catalog up, or a listing for the Happy Hogan minifig?

The Punisher comics just had a run where The Punisher stole War Machine's armor. Was more gray and white than black and red, but if you need a canon explanation for the skull in the arc reactor, that seems like your best bet.

Overall really like the FFH wave, but the jet set is fairly baffling from Lego's end--why would they make the big exclusives Happy and Fury? I can't imagine any kid is going to push for that set over the other two. Neither will adult collectors either--never has been a set been an easier "I'll just brick link the figures" decision... Also, Magma man looks great, but man an I gonna run out of room for all these giant brick built characters. The reason I got into collecting Minifigures was that they're small enough I can fit them in my apartment easily!

I'm all for Lego trying new things in the promo items, but... man is that transforming Iron Man a weird mini-fig. Going to still get it, but really wish it had been one of the other weird suit variants from IM3...

Hopefully it's not Marvel exclusive, but if it is... feeling pretty good about holding off on buying those new Spiderman sets.

Where are the War Machine leaks up? Usually find them on Instagram, but not seeing these...

Great build, and an even better write up!

It's crazy we still don't have any info for the Marvel Bricktober pack being released. All the other three are out, right? Keep putting off purchases in case it's a gift with purchase...

Ah yes. If there's one thing Stan Lee hated, it was attention.

Doubt they'll do that, but it should be pretty cheap to pick up the animated Spider-Man Nick Fury with the eyepatched head on Bricklink. Combine the two, and there you go...

She would never! ...now someone ELSE might've made a deal with Mephisto on her behalf, but we do not speak of it...

So weird if Miles is in another Carnage set. They tried to make Venom and him a thing (Venom killed his mom at the end of the Ultimate Universe I think, right before the whole line shut down and she was resurected when Miles was brought into the 616), but I don't think he's ever interacted with Carnage. Not that characters can't just be thrown together (more random characters, please), but it's strange that they're packaged together in both of their only appearances. Hell, it doesn't look like Carnage is even in the Miles movie that's going to be the biggest bit of exposure Miles has ever had. And that looks like it's got a bunch of villains they could've chosen from! Weird weird weird.

Guys, seriously, spoiler tags. Rumors of villains who might appear in the film and what new suits might be in there should all be under tags and leaked on set photos should DEFINITELY be spoiler tagged.

It's absolutely a spoiler. Any info not in marketing materials for an unreleased film should be tagged.

Seems like it'd have too many spikey bits for Duplo?

Gonna sell the actual Spider-Mech, but giant Venom is awesome (and I say that as someone who doesn't like Venom), the new Spidey minifig looks great (awesome to get an upgraded comics based Spidey, was not expecting that at all), and I'm super jazzed to get Spider-Gwen (even if that custom has completely spoiled me). And then also an Aunt May, which... I don't need another of, but always good to get more civilians, and the last one was in a $100 set, so not mad to get her out there again. Awesome set overall, and I'm super excited we're getting a non-MCU wave!

There's room for a fall comics wave! Right now we have nothing through the rest of the year--and only one set (Ant-Man & the Wasp) since the Infinity War wave in April. I'm sure the Avengers movies being SUCH big waves skews what's available for the rest of the year, but it seems there should be room for 2-3 sets this fall. Tie 'em into whatever cartoons are out or the Spiderverse movie (seems like SUCH a waste not to do anything with that--that seems right up Lego's alley. Animated kids movie! With Spider-Man, Marvel's most marketable toy character! By the directors of The Lego Movie!). Just seems weird to have such a huge gap (damn near half the year!) in the release schedule.

Very cool looking. Where'd you get the stickers for it made?

Hey all, I bought 76042 Marvel Super Heroes The Shield Helicarrier back when it was being discontinued, and... have since had to come to accept that my apartment is too small for such a huge set, and likely always will be. So, time to try to sell it! The set is new in box, and I'm willing to let it go for the original $350 I bought it for--assuming we're able to exchange in person, because the horrifying thought of trying to ship this thing is what's keeping me from selling on eBay. I'm in Brooklyn, and am willing to deliver to anyplace that isn't too hard to get to from the subway. Let me know if you're interested. Thanks!

Oh yeeeeeah. Good remembering! What a weird deep cut, even coming off Deadpool Duck. I'm pretty done with Deadpool's oversaturation, really hope next year they do something non-Deadpool related...

Is Sheriff Deadpool from something? Usually the SDCC variants have been comics based, but I don't recognize this at all...

You think? It's not out until Christmas, which made me hopeful we might get a winter wave for it. Animated Spider-Man Movie seems like an obvious choice for Lego... Plus, the dead-on Spider-Gwen makes me real hopeful we'll get her minifig soon...

Agreed! I'm sure the MCU version will be fine, but Comics Mysterio is one I want badly enough I keep eyeing knock off minifigs... The upside is I think getting an MCU fig increases the odds of us getting a comics fig. Especially if they create a custom piece for the head...

I guess it's up to how much you prefer the comics version to MCU styling? The current one is a great minifig, and I'm glad we got a comics styled one...
