  1. I don't think so, I'm pretty sure they only celebrate anniversaries with dates that end with '0'.
  2. Well, it depends where you buy them. There are retailers that identify the minifigures beforehand, and sell them at the regular price. I've been buying minifigures like thar since LEGO has started doing licensed series regularly.
  3. How do you build a Sentinel body with just a few parts? It wouldn't look good at all, and that big head would make it even more ridiculous. Not to mention the head has printing with a lot of damage, the Sentinel isn't even active.
  4. The quality of the minifigures is exceptional — it's a shame that I don't care about ¾ of them. My favourites are the X-Men (mostly because it's such a rarity for LEGO). Wolverine looks exceptional. Shame that there's no buildable Sentinel. I wish they'd make X-Men '97 sets. The minifigures are awesome, but it's barely ¼ of the characters they could give us.
  5. It's hilarious, because that character probably won't appear anywhere for another few years. I've seen a theory that Kang Dynasty will start with Kangs killing them, and it actually sounds reasonable. It would be the funniest thing ever because 97% of people in the theatre would be like "Who is that?" In 2021 I was extremely mad we weren't getting any Disney+ sets. Two years later, and I don't even care about the movie sets. Since the first The Infinity Saga wave I haven't bought anything but the Guardians sets (Advent Calendar and the smallest Vol. 3 one), plus The Goat Boat (already sold it, and I was soe excited door that movie). My point is, I've never lost interest in something so much so quickly. Marvel Studios managed to turn me from a "watching everything Day-1" type of fan to "I'm interested in, like, 4 out of 37 projects (and I won't even bother watching the rest)" one.
  6. I'm pretty sure it's implied that it's a minifigure — Wolverine has the head, while Storm and the Beast have the torso and the legs. All three of those minifigs already have accessories. A Sentinel from ~10 regular pieces would look like crap.
  7. I meant that they'd make an actual Marvel series (like a comicbook one) before making an X-Men one.
  8. If you mean a minifigure series dedicated only to X-Men, they could do it. It's just that they'd rather not, since a Marvel CMF will sell better than an X-Men CMF.
  9. It's coming in November, so probably sometime around mid-October.
  10. It won't. If they released it as an SDCC exclusive, they'll keep it that way.
  11. You cannot confuse Goliath with Kang. They look completely different colour-wise, which is the first thing you look at when you get your information from low-quality prelims.
  12. We knew too many details about Kang, it couldn't have been a mistake. They definitely replaced him because of the controversy.
  13. Well to be fair She-Hulk came out nearly a year ago, and they managed to exchange Kang for Goliath very recently. They probably could've included Daredevil, but maybe they have other plans for him. (It would be a bummer if we never got his yellow suit tho.)
  14. Because cinema has changed significantly since 2019.
  15. No, not really. Most big blockbusters are flopping this year. The Flash and Indiana Jones are fighting for the mantle of the biggest flop of all time, and people thought both would be a success. Only a few (like Across the Spider-Verse or Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3) managed to make a nice profit. My point is, at this point even big IPs can be flops. The Marvels' profits won't be a metric of how much people like the character itself.
  16. The "franchise" consists of a single movie which made over $1B worldwide. Only thirteen out of thirty-two MCU movies did that. Not to mention that it's the only MCU movie that focused on an entriely new character to gross that amount.
  17. That's a problematic idea, because the set would cost at least twice as much as Gringotts.
  18. Yeah. I mean GotG Vol. 2 made sense — they gave us Ayesha and Taserface, which was all they could make since Ego was a surprise villain and Marvel didn't reveal it to LEGO. GotG Vol. 3 does not tho — The High Evolutionary was literally one of the most promoted things concerning this movie.
  19. All the sets look fantastic imo. Couldn't care less about any of those, but I think they are great. The minifigures from Ahsoka are fantastic, and so are the builds. They also don't feel terribly overpriced like most Star Wars sets. Surprised people hate Chewbacca so much. I mean sure, I have no idea why anyone would want to buy it, but judging the set itself, I think it's really well done.
  20. And yeah, the villains' thing is getting extremely annoying now. Three MCU movies. Five sets. Not a single villain.
  21. The ship does look really good, but the minifigures are so lacklustre. Captain Marvel looks really incomplete without dual-moulded arms. Photon really needs leg printing. Ms. Marvel is okay, but no representations of her powers whatsoever. Really? All of them use power pieces of the same colour? That's just pathetic. LEGO can't afford to include a few more pieces? The price is genuinely one of the worst prices for a LEGO set ever. It looks worth 40€, not 90€.
  22. True, but that wasn't Kang. Just a variant of him who's played by the same actor. He looks (the costume) and acts nothing like Kang. No they don't. He was in a single movie that people not only didn't like, but barely have seen it, since it's one of the lowest grossing MCU movies. He was introduced in an Ant-Man movie. He died in an Ant-Man movie. No one knows what's going on, and especially the general audience.
  23. I'm talking about general audience. To them, he's just an Ant-Man villain.
  24. And kids do not care about Kang.
