THELEGOBATMAN

Venom bust just leaked. Not sure about that one - I mea don't get me wrong, it still looks pretty good when compared to all the other busts, but it just doesn't work as good in plain black. I hate those eyebrows too.

Yeah, for me it's also CMF, Benatar and Iron Monger (exactly in that order). Unless Disney+ set counts too, then make it second.

Which Summer set are y'all most excited for? Disclaimer: Endgame Final Battle is not an acceptable answer.

Please no, not another Hogwarts anniversary set... not in a Quidditch set.

It's set in between 2024 and 2025.

Oh, this is unexpected news! Quirrel as a golden minfig is a weird choice. More obvious ones (provided that 4 of those sets are anniversary) would be Malfoy, Snape, Dumbledore and McGonagall. As for Madam Hooch, this must mean another Quidditch set. I was actually really hoping for that, it's been 3 years since we got the last one. With all the Marvek sets we're getting, I'll be getting either one of two smallest August sets, or none at all. I just hope that one of them is not yet another Hogwarts set. Still an anniversary set tho, as it includes Golden Ron. It wouldn't really make sense to put up one DH sets under that anniversary line, unless it's the D2C.

Exactly my thoughts I just picture this weird minfigure head that looks like someone just simply made it bigger, I have no idea how they'll pull it off. But hey, that means at least 2 new moulds for Thanos, which is a good thing. I absolutely agree. In my case it's not money and not space for display - it's mostly the fact that I consider these sets not only a new era for Lego Marvel, but my whole Lego collection. I just don't want to display old The Infinity Saga sets with new TIS sets, I want them all to look fresh and be more consistent. I have some minfigures left, but I never display minifgures. I only display full sets, I make great displays using clear pieces and CMF stands. I also have 2 CMF series framed in a... well frame (soon to be 3). Me personally, I don't buy those sets as a minfigure collector - I display whole sets with all its contents. They also have to be relevant, for example I don't display any old sets - I only leave ones that are either nostalgic to me or may be worth a small fortune in the future.

His fur is nearly exactly the same tho. It's not even slightly more dark grey than brown. In your pictures his fur appears kinda darker simpy because he's in a building - in the first one, he's standing outside right under sun shining at him. Thanos. I want to see how that "rotable head" works and looks like, and if they'll do him justice this time.

Yeah, in my mind they simply became outdated. Except of course Spider-Man sets, they are too important to me.

That's funny, I've been doing the exact opposite Seeing as we're getting first wave of The Infinity Saga sets, I've decided to sell all my remaining MCU sets - except for all the Spider-Man sets (and I left 2 other sets for nostalgic reasons).

Red scarf would definitely look awesome. Dark blue arms would look out of place and weird.

My favourite Rocket minfigiure just because of the corrected colouring. I love the new head mould. Face print and googles look great. Not a fan of grey and brown torso tho, should have been dark blue and dark red.

Apparently Vader's Meditation Chamber is $70 for 663 pieces. Wonder if this is actually a regular retailer set with that piece count?

I've also connected it with my Whomping Willow set. I display those from the inside, and I connected RoR to the left side - right next to Snape's office. It looks really good, although I imagine it wouldn't look as good with bigger Hogwarts expansions.

To clear the confusion, Promobricks confirmed that this subtheme is labelled as "The Infinity Saga". It's not MCU Legacy, but it's a nice name because it has a nice ring to it.

It has two faces tho hasn't it?

Oh wow, that is actually perfect for him!

I just hope they expand to movies with less popular characters and smaller franchises. For now we have Endgame, Far From Home, Iron Man and a Captain America movie (either the 1st one or the 2nd) - that's just 4 out of 23. I hope we get more Thor sets (TDK would be great), Ant-Man movies (finally an accurate Ant-Man and Wasp), Doctor Strange (Kaecilius) or Guardians of The Galaxy would be great.

Who else hopes The Infinity Saga sets start a new trend of including a hairpiece for masked heroes? A hairpiece for T'Challa, Tony, Steve etc.

Someone on Instagram just pointed out that the back of the box of Carnage's head has an error - at top of it, instead if dating Carnage (like other box arts) it says Venom - in Venom's font. That's kind of funny, wonder how that happened

Plus an actual CMF

My thoughts on each set after getting over the shock: Dragon Flyer: colour scheme sounds weird and inaccurate; Shuri sounds great, but it seems she's the only exclusive one Iron Monger: the fact that it's based on first MCU movie instantly makes it a must-buy for me; hope they do Monger justice Final Battle: is there anything more to say than WOW?; instant must-buy, although 90€ is a terrible deal Benatar: fantastic deal, it will loom amazing with UCS stand; I don't like that ut includes only 4 Guardians and a Chitauri, instead of 6 Guardians (at least 5 if no Gamora) and no Chitauri; I'll try to get this one Sanctuary II: weird set, sounds like a display set with micro Thanos ship; I hope they do Captain Marvel right Hydra Face-Off: if it includes a new Cap variant then it'll be a fantastic set, hope it's WW2 based Advent Calendar: sounds amazing, 7 minfigures is an exceptional number; if it's MCU based I'll have a hard time deciding if I should buy this or Harry Potter Infinity Gauntlet: sounds incredible, should have been 60€ tho So yeah, from those I'll buy Iron Monger and Final Battle sets. In terms of 2021 I'll buy whole CMF series, smallest Eternals set, one or two NWH sets and possibly the Disney+ set. I'll also sell my Silent Mary (bought it for 200€, it sells for over 400€ now) and I'll also buy Benatar to display it instead of this one.

It's not about winning, there's just much more to discuss, not to mention that the level of enthusiasm in those 2 themes this year is incomparable.

Oh, that's great news! My best guess swould be either Disney+ set if CMF series, but I'm not sure either fo those are logical choices. WandaVision doesn't seem to have any interesting builds to guarantee a whole set (from Lego's perspective), and definitely not over TFaTWS. On the other hand, it would be weird if they decided to include Disney+ characters in a CMF series. Accessory pack perhaps?

Yes.
