I had orders from last Nov and Jan cancelled a month ago saying everything was unavailable even though half the pieces were still on the website (this was after contacting CS 2 months before and cancelling a couple of parts I was told were on backorder). Reordered them recently after speaking to CS who credited me points worth $25 for the inconvenience. Missed out on a bunch of stuff like Ringwraith torsos though :( Apparently their system wouldnt allow them to split the available parts from unavailable so whole order was cancelled. Doesnt make sense to me as had parts cancelled from order before and rest sent out. Lack of communication was awful though

Now they've forced you to put in another order for the most expensive bit in the middle

Dark Blue one definitely not been on Europe PaB as been wanting it for my Black Falcon archers. It first appeared in Star Wars so assuming its one of those weird License locked parts even though its not specific to Star Wars. At least that would be case before the merger.

Theory: They cant do Thunderbolts sets as they have no way to brand the packaging correctly. If Marvel have been so tightlipped about the title they might not have told toy companies what it is and when the Asterisk finally get announced there wont be enough time to do/redo the package so sets might have been delayed/cancelled and hence not leaked because they arent on schedule by time leakers got information on upcoming sets.

Don't know if this info is useful for anyone in Europe. My 24th Nov order has been on backorder for pretty much whole time and when I spoke to CS last week it was due to the below and I was given dates for when they were due in stock. Was also told rest of my order had plenty of stock even though a week prior to contacting them the star tiles from the Tales of the Space Age set were cancelled from my order as they wont be returning now the set is retired and stock of part is gone. 6375785 - FLAME 4M, W/ 3.2 HOLDER - Due back 7th Feb 6489420 - PREPACK BOX 47X47, CAPE, NO. 30 - Due back 24th Feb 6315437 - PREPACK BOX 47X47, TORN CAPE - Due back 24th Feb Could have cancelled them and got order sent out but risked leaving it and hoping no more items are cancelled from my order. None of the above come up when searching PaB currently

Looking forward to the Nelson and Murdock mini-Modular next year So Im assuming the Apartment will sit on top of the deli and not be a connected building next to it?

Unless it was said outside of here or outside of r/legoleak main posts I hadn't heard that. If it was false it's odd that the Oscorp leak would mention "No Mr Negative" if it was false.

So where is Mr Negative showing up? 76317, CMF (if generic spider-verse), D2C set (whatever it may be). Not many options left for this year. Interesting the Iron Man bust says "Featuring Iron Man minifigures" - Multiple figs seems odd but could be typo.

That would be the funniest thing of the year if true. Plus "Sony Spider-Verse" CMF which all of the above are Sony so is could it be a wider Sony CMF

Be a great way to get multiple Iron Man suits we havent got or unlikely to get in other sets. There seems to be alot of Mansion sets out recently. Ive seen a few people use either the friends or creator ones to do MOCs of Malibu Mansion plus theres the Twilight set coming soon which is basically a Mansion. Dont know if that helps or hinders the chances of a Malibu Mansion.

If its ITSV related it could easily be Fisk Tower with collider and the multiple villains and multiple spideys and Spider-Man waiters . I wonder with all different Spider-Man sets (potentially) released this year that any Spider-Man modular building could be inspired by Spider-verse and reuse Spider-Men and villains from across the sets plus extra couple for the Modular

Normally I'd want anything that gives us new characters or special variants but the Raimi train scene is so iconic I don't mind that. I wonder if they'd do special arm molds for holding the webs to stop the train. Doubt it but could be fun. A giant Sandman from third film/Spider-Man 2 game using torso and above from HP maxifigs would be great (got half that built but lost momentum on it so if Lego wants to give me a set with it great) Any set that gives us the Raimi version of Goblin is plus too. ITSV/ATSV could give us loads of cool variants. Spider-Rex, Peter Parkedcar plus other normal human shaped Spideys. ASM wouldnt give us much new as far as I can think of, at least for me. Don't forget the hoped Sentinel/X-men set tho thats looking less likely from what we know GIVE US MORE X-MEN CHARACTERS AND VILLAINS!!!

r/legoleak reports this about the FF minifigs "All have something to make them stand out (hands for Ben, etc)" Im so glad we aren't getting the classic handless Ben

There never is till there is The rumour of Sony sets later this year, plus the spider-verse set, plus comic mech opens the possibility of a wider meaning to term spider-verse. Thats all I was implying. Im not saying its likely just that spider-verse could have been misunderstood/misused/mistranslated/misseen or any other mis word to explain the current rumour being wrong. Until we know more we wont know so we can speculate on why we're all of a sudden getting multiple different Spiderman content sets and if/how they could connect.

Leaks are always 100% accurate though arent they! Thats the point I was making that the initial rumour could have been slightly misunderstood or phrased badly. Spider-verse is a generic term for spiderman universe not just ITSV/ATSV and Sony spider-verse could mean anything Sony Spiderman related even if the initial rumours are 100% accurate

With Sony Spiderman sets being rumoured, I wonder if the "Spiderverse" CMF leak does turn out to be "ITSV/ATSV" based or ends up being generic "Spiderverse" with anything up for grabs (whether all Sony or all Spiderman). Any good Modulars from Sony Spiderman? All I can think of is Flatiron Bugle but Bugle already exists on shelves.

Yeah Avengers compound isnt interesting either not even as a modular extension but I can visualize what people expect when they say that. When people mention wanting a D2C Asgard (which happens quite a bit on this forum) I never know what people are expecting realistically.

What would you expect an Asgard D2C set to be? Asgard is huge. It would have to be microscale which doesnt seem too interesting and would lack minifigure. Even the main building isnt that interesting. Its just a pyramid of spires with rainbow bridge leading to it? Maybe Im lacking imagination but I cant see how an Asgard set would be good/interesting?

Mounted sounds more like a buildable canon than a new mold to me, maybe using this piece https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=15407&idColor=77#T=S&C=77&O={"color":77,"ss":"UK","rpp":"50","iconly":0}

Iron Man is Mark 85 which weve had before I believe

This always happens to me. Im expecting this big box of lego and a small envelope turns up Nice figs and parts though

Do we know when Gumball Machine is due to be released compared to new 3 in 1 castle? Someone on reddit posted this so not my spot but the 3 in 1 Dragon box art has a castle in background so good bet thats the design. No hint at faction in that artwork though.

You not disappointed enough by the Winter wave that you already want to be disappointed by Summer wave

Other potential locations could be Josies bar or The Bar with No Name, Alias Investigations and Pizza place (Joes Pizza). Your boxing gym could be Fogwells

I cant see Arkham being a modular. A building on a baseplate, yes (like botanical gardens) but a modular has a street in front of it and connection points which is biggest complaint for X-Mansion being so small. Arkham would also be tiny with a street and wouldn't make sense connected to other buildings in a DC Modular line. Not that Arkham being a modular excludes a Marvel one but Arkham technically not being a modular also makes Marvel one more likely. Also subject of the building being a prison is so different to anything we are predicting for a Marvel modular that there is little crossover except it being Superheroes (unless the Marvel one was The Raft - which would be a good way to get villains!). My predictions for Marvel modulars are: 1) Kingpin Tower (from spider-verse) with Collider and multi coloured glitching parts 2) Oscorp (to market it alongside Bugle now its extended retirement) 3) Baxter Building (to go alongside the film and the 1 set were getting up until 2HY and is where the big fig Thing is hiding) 3) Avengers mansion (to go alongside X-Mansion even though its not in universe thats never stopped Lego - also maybe a reason for it not to be as having two mansions on shelf wouldn't be good from selling POV) 4) No Modular at all
