Brickset just posted a review of the Dragon Flyer set.

Where did that rumor originate from? I don't see it anywhere. Considering the WW2 What If rumor has been going around for quite a long time and hasn't changed a bit since I honestly kinda doubt this new rumor is true but considering Peggy is in the CMF I'd much prefer a Sakaaran Hulkbuster build.

Considering the Keepers were all about primitive vehicles and things related to storms I'd say some type of primitive balloon/zeppelin or a hang glider could've been cool.

Looks like a pretty neat little set, feels a bit pricey but there are tons of great hairpieces and I love the monochrome figures! Personally not planning on getting it though, as there's a ton of other products coming out this year that will eat up my budget. Not totally relevant to the thread but the amount of blatantly homophobic comments on LEGO's socials disgusts me. These homophobes will always make it their number one priority to complain when companies reveal/release products aimed at the LGBTQ+ community but never seem to realise that these products wouldn't exist in the first place if they would just accept people the way they are. Why is it such an issue that someone has a sexual preference different from "the norm"? Is it really that hard to just accept people the way they are?

I highly doubt they'd make that new piece for just this Pride/Monochrome set so it's definitely possible. We just don't really know what these 2021 sets are based on, we can only guess.

All properties they currently have or have recently owned are off-limits.

I think the issue for LEGO was more so that a deal with Ford either didn't work out or that they didn't have the leftover budget to get the Ford Explorer license. Matchbox (a subsidiary of Mattel) has produced several JP-themed Ford Explorers since 2018 and if I recall correctly Tomica released their first Explorer in 2019 so the toy rights have been around for a while, they're just making a big deal out of this reveal as the Legacy Collection has become one of Mattel's most popular lines. Besides that I also don't think LEGO has much of an interest in creating more Jurassic Park products as they only released 2 sets in the 4 years (I'm excluding the first wave of products here as we have no idea what the status of the license was in 2016-2017) they've had the license, one of which was a 25th anniversary set and the other a D2C that sold horribly as far as I know.

It's not, you can see the sticker on the stickersheet from that Korean leak. It does sound terrible but none of this info is new is it?

The sets also all got 360 showcase videos and I'm really glad the side of Iron Mongers helmet doesn't look as crappy as Molten Man's face

And the wait continues

Mark did say the team had tons of ideas so I think the likelyhood of a second wave all depends on how well the first wave performs.

Don't think anyone has brought it up yet but Mark Stafford also talked about why the Infinity Saga sets were made and why Black Panther has no legprinting: "COVID-19 delayed all the new movies and therefore the sets based on them, so we needed some sets to replace them. We had tons of ideas around the Infinity Saga as when we design most sets we are working only from concept art that Marvel are willing to share. The final movies include scenes or vehicles that look different. It was great to revisit them and we worked with Marvel to choose ideas and heroes that were desirable. I was jealous of Ed and Chris for working on the Guardians of the Galaxy's ship. I love building spaceships. Black Panther didn't get leg prints because his legs are pretty much black with no real details so we could save this print 'box' for another location."

The slicked back hair already exists in dark brown though.

Multiple times iirc.

No idea where you live but the Dutch S@H does show the date. Hachiroku24 just uploaded a video showing how, just like Mark Stafford said in the AMA, you can fix up the exploded window without any extra pieces. I've gotta say I really like how the building looks without that broken window, though the explosion does make it feel more alive.

Well that's odd, the Gauntlet has now been removed. I have a feeling they'll be revealed today and this set was just put on the webshop too early.

All the other sets are nowhere to be seen but the Infinity Gauntlet is now up on S@H, you can order it right now (doesn't seem to be a preorder).

Stafford also commented on the signage, saying that for most of the design process it was actually yellow and it changing to red was a very last-minute decision by Marvel.

I really hope so, can't wait to see Korg and Miek!

You can though, Mark Stafford mentioned that he made sure to include all pieces necessary to fix the window in the explosion build.

Because it's always fun to know who designed certain sets?

Also worth noting that Mark Stafford said he designed the Wakandan Dragon Flyer.

Would've been a fun bit of consistency but I doubt it as the reporter from the Avengers Tower set has very prominent jawlines that the Bugle reporter doesn't have.

To put the discussion to rest for once and for all: Mark Stafford confirmed that the Marvel license does not allow them to make a figure of Stan Lee.

It was already posted on the thread but here you go:
