I think it's Flash Thompson, it's hard to see in the trailer but if you look at pictures of the actor he has the exact same facial hair. The expressions make sense for his character too.

The one from yesterday? The torso and leg printing are both brand new, and while it's hard to tell from the image quality it doesn't look like a bootleg either. It's certainly possible that the arms and helmet were added on by the leaker, but going off leaked concept art it matches up just fine.

I also think it's worth noting that all of the classic armors we've seen leaked so far (1, 5, 41) were destroyed in Iron Man 3, which can mean one of about three things: 1. Time travel or BARF is used in Endgame. 2. The set is actually based on Iron Man 3 rather than Endgame, which honestly would be amazing if it meant we're gonna start getting new sets from past movies (I'd love to see some Winter Soldier sets!). 3. The set is based on a new hall of armor that takes place in the "present" (in regards to Endgame), and the inclusion of old suits is just a stylistic inclusion on the part of LEGO. I think this is plausible, as Tony's main suit in Endgame is allegedly called the Mark 85, which would leave plenty of room for a new hall of armor. Plus we've seen concept art of Tony in what appears to be a lab with multiple Iron Man suits, which may have been for Endgame rather than Infinity War.

Plus it would be odd for LEGO to put so many similar minifigures in one set (as in 4+ characters with Iron Man armor), it seems that they try to give a good assortment even in the smaller "battle packs". Plus both collectors and kids like Iron Man suits, so they'd probably want to not put the majority of them in one set.

Of course it's about money/budget, it's a company. They can't just pour an infinite amount of funds into every theme. They have to evaluate how much they can spend while still remaining profitable, and get the most out of that amount of money. Sure a lack of arm printing may make a less accurate figure, but it saves them a lot on manufacturing costs, and 99.99% of their consumers aren't going to care.

Technically Mark 50 from Infinity War line has it too, but still a very welcome detail! I'm honestly amazed that LEGO decided to revisit some of the older movies even if it is within the context of Endgame, never thought we would see those classic designs be brought into LEGO form. Doubtful but I'd really like to see future MCU sets based on the old movies, I feel like there's a lot of potential to be had. A discussion for a different thread though, I'm sure.

It's so detailed! Love that they went with Mark 41, it's so different in appearance than all the other suits they've adapted.

Does it have a different release date at Target vs the LEGO shop? It's live on LEGO.com but it hasn't popped up on the Target website and our local store hasn't gotten them yet either.

Anyone know when the Captain Marvel set is set to release? I assumed it'd be January 1 but I haven't seen any news of them showing up in stores yet besides the initial leak. Edit: NVM didn't think to check the LEGO shop website, apparently it's tomorrow!
