Does anyone else want a figure of Loki in the suit from the end of that trailer? He looks so good in that suit.

Armor Wars can finally give Lego excuses to make mechs haha. And YES the advent calendar is a great idea!

I don't even know where to start with all the Marvel announcements. This is insane and please Lego give us Abomination for She-Hulk!

One way the story could go (just my speculation, by no means is this story I made up accurate or good lol): after Spiderman’s identity is exposed, Mysterio (who turns out to be still alive) recruits Scorpion, who attempts to assemble a team to take revenge on Peter. Scorpion finds Vulture (who acts like a double agent like Snape) and maybe Kraven (if he appears at all). Act 1 involves the team hunting Spiderman down while a dimensional rift happens (maybe because of what Wanda did in WandaVision) and transports Electro and Doc Ock to the MCU (Doctor Strange could be the side character that investigates this). The Sinister Six thus assembles out of a shared hatred for Spiderman and Act 2 is John Wick 3 styled in the sense that Spider-Man must confront the Sinister Six, who threatens both him and his loved ones. Act 3 can be where Tobey and Andrew come in to help Peter fight the Sinister Six, Endgame-style. This could ensure that the Sinister Six forms while still making the movie a Tom Holland movie. This, however, could end up being another Raimi Spider-Man 3 or TASM 2 if not done right. No way Tobey and Andrew, as well as the villains, are just cameo characters. I think there’s a good chance we get figures for them.

It’s LEGO, so I would say Raimi Spider-Man 3 sets are very unlikely. But if Tobey is returning, maybe the Symbiote suit can show up either in Spider-Man 3 or DS2. That could be our chance to get the figure

Imagine the Sinister Six being Kraven, Jake Gyllenhaal’s Mysterio, Michael Keaton’s Vulture, Alfred Molina’s Doc Ock, Jamie Foxx’s Electro, and Michael Mando’s Scorpion. We get these characters scattered throughout the sets with a repeat of whoever the leader of the group is (thus the film’s antagonist) and the 3 Spider-Men. Lego better not screw this wave up.

I think there will still be surprises when we see the film. Look at Endgame, we knew there was time travel involved and we knew the Avengers who died in Infinity War will come back, but the way the movie executed these plot lines still surprised us.

OMG Charlie Cox is returning as Daredevil. Imagine finally getting a figure for him

Wait till they announce more info regarding Doctor Strange 2, but I agree. We’re potentially getting one of the best spiderman waves of all time

This movie just excites me so much. I hope we get some amazing sets

Oh boy we better get a remake of Molina's Doc Ock

How big of a role (if at all) do we think Thanos will play in the film? It'd be interesting to get young Thanos as a figure

I think the coolest characters from that Eternals wave are Sersi, Ikaris, Kingo, and Druig. I can't wait to get minifigs of these 4. This is the wave where Lego needs to go all out with arm and leg printing. Also, I wouldn't worry about Thena and Whitman just yet. Lego usually makes more movie characters than Marvel Legends in the initial wave (ex: Lego made Quicksilver and Strucker). Also, I think Marvel wants to keep Whitman's appearance a secret, thus the lack of merchandise (remember the Celestials are also not in this wave but I'm pretty sure we'll get them in sets)

The Marvel Legends Eternals wave is revealed, giving us a better look at the characters. I think they'd make great Lego minifigs if done right. https://marvelousnews.com/252-27891

To be honest, I actually prefer releases after the movie because that gives us more accurate products. Also, buying the toys after the movie just feels different in a kind of good way

I'm happy to wait if this means that we'll get accurate sets with good figures, like the Mandalorian sets

Considering how late the Mando sets came out, I think WandaVision sets are coming in the summer...

Which specific account? The usual place is still censored here in the US

I hope a WandaVision set can make Vision like that

Same. MCU movies are for theaters. Can you imagine watching Endgame for the first time at home? That’d be the worst thing ever

We’ll wait to see what Disney announces in the 12/10 meeting. As much as I want BW in theaters I feel that it will go to D+. Given the uncertainty of 2021, I feel that Disney/Marvel may not want to delay BW further as that will change the entire phase 4 schedule once again. That said, I don’t think Disney needs to put all of its 2021 movies on streaming. D+ now has close to 100 million subscribers with basically just Mando. Imagine the subscriber increase once these MCU shows start coming out (Lego you better get on the hype train and make us some Disney+ MCU sets)

I guess we’ll differ on that because I’m still extremely excited for Black Widow. Finally getting to see Natasha’s solo film as well as a movie version of Taskmaster makes this film a must-watch for me. Exactly. Movies will never earn as much on streaming as they did in theaters since platforms like D+ and HBO Max earn their revenue via subscriber count and not by how well each film performed. If all films go to streaming in the future, we could very well see the end of big-budget blockbusters like Endgame. As CBM fans we should, like you said, hope that these movies succeed as much as they can and pray that such moves are contingency plans rather than something that continues even after the pandemic is over.

With WB moving their entire 2021 slate onto streaming, I have a feeling that Disney/Marvel may do the same with some of the 2021 Marvel films. For us, this could mean that the new MCU sets will not be delayed further. However, I wish that Shang-Chi can still release in theaters as it means so much to the Asian community and gives us some much-needed positive Asian representation in Hollywood films. It’d be such a shame if Shang-Chi became a streaming movie.

Haha . In all honesty though (and despite all my complaining), I don’t think Lego hates Marvel fans. Every once in a while they do make something that surprises everyone in a good way. I don’t think Lego knows how to take advantage of the MCU’s immense popularity and I certainly don’t believe Lego cares about us Marvel fans as much as fans of other properties like Harry Potter, Star Wars, and even Overwatch (Marvel is currently a bigger property than all of those). When you look at those sets, don’t you wish more Marvel sets could be as good as them? To be fair, that is what kind of happened haha . The Square Enix game was not well received since its reveal a long long time ago, yet we still got too many sets for it

Remember the reason why the 2019 Marvel sets sold well was because of Endgame (from my memory and please correct me if I'm wrong 2019 was the only year Marvel was on the top selling list). Everyone wanted Endgame merchandise and the Lego sets benefitted from that. 2020 is horrible because Lego gave us variants that no one asked for (Square Enix). What confuses me is that Lego, while making Square Enix variants, is also trying hard for the 2020 sets to tie into the MCU (Thanos mech used the knight's helmet to make him look more like his Endgame appearance. Prototype Iron Man, Tazer, and Blazer are all inspired by MCU suits. The armory expansion set and the Avengers tower both featured numerous callbacks to the MCU). If so, why didn't they just give us desirable MCU variants (Legacy sets) like Mark 3, Iron Monger, and the missing Endgame variants? These are more popular than any of the Square Enix designs. I assume Lego has all the rights to make them as Hasbro and Funko are both making figures and toys from past MCU movies. They just actively decided to avoid them for some reason. Don't tell me kids don't like the MCU because Hasbro made a ton of money with their MCU and Endgame toys. This is why I said Lego has 0 ideas about what to do with Marvel. Just thinking about this makes me very frustrated because I just cannot, in any way, understand Lego's decisions for Marvel this year. Do the Lego designers just hate the MCU? Do they just dislike Marvel Studios?
