Like a wizard once said: "We're in the endgame now"

I feel like the only way we could've gotten the comic beekeeper AIM and Hydra troop as figs was through the mighty micros. It's been 9 years and the closest we've had to a comic-style avengers wave was in 2014-2016 with the AA cartoon sets.

It's a great fit, the only reason I'm 100% not for it is that it'd be hard to armybuild. My solution would be to use legs that everyone dislikes and has multiples of - Quantum suit legs! It's not the most accurate, but it's kinda close with the camo print, and the red won't look out of place thanks to the Hydra logo which they put on the torso.

Amazing use of the pods! I love how clean and tiled the whole building looks. Did you find some neat connection to keep the pods in place or are they just held by friction?

"Reality is often disappointing"

There's no complete 2x2 quarter circle element, so most of it is in the 2x2 macaroni tile and the corner is printed on a 1x1 quarter circle tile, which is why it looks off.

the hydra torso seems generic enough to be used for other things, and with the tiny red logo it might even go well with the printed legs from the endgame tech suits. Hoping that these show up on BL for cheap.

Nope, they were introduced last year. Only sad thing about this wave is that there still isn't a set with the unprinted lambo windscreen. Overall they look pretty good, the main strength I see it as the variation in colourschemes while the designs are just good, they represent the cars pretty well.

ah my bad Probably whatever shade was used in the concept art for her final costume. I doubt Lego would make her hair different just so people buy the final battle set and the CMF and mix them, right? It wouldn't make sense, especially considering the tiara makes it inaccurate to endgame.

My guess is whatever shade of dark blue is Disney+'s main colour - mainly to promote the streaming service, and they might do that in case Disney wants a star wars D+ CMF series as well, so it basically creates a D+ sub-theme for CMF and they can save the iconic red for when they do the next Marvel series.

so close, yet so far at the same time....

The sets look neat - might get the limo car. And one of the figs in the K-pawp set has a new wings piece, which would work very well for a Angel X-man in white... EDIT: The slime guy in the blindbags S2 would make a great clayface fig!

rumors say it'll be the new Captain Falcon suit.

Not to mention perhaps late/spoilery NWH sets. Marvel is basically going to dominate shelves.

I feel like infinity saga is their tribute/anniversary to the theme and the movies, so I do feel like there's a strong chance it'll continue next year + golden figs of the 6 Avengers (but I expect hulk to either be minifig or be replaced with golden spidey).

https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=29634&idColor=68#T=C&C=68 I think this hairpiece would fit her well enough without needing a new mould, but I guess we'll see. Even then, she did wear the spacesuit without the helmet, so it's still possible.

Is it confirmed that Monica will be her finale outfit? Maybe they could give us her SWORD spacesuit, which I think would be generic enough for people to buy multiples of.

Sets, because if 1 yearly CMF spot gets reserved for Marvel only every year then it'll tire people out, and unless this one sells insanely well I doubt there's gonna be a 2nd CMF about D+ only - it'll probably be general MCU or comics-based. I find it weird that we've had D+ for about 1 year already and after the success of Mando and TCW S7, Lego still seems hesitant on making more stuff out of it.

Definitely the darkhold for Wanda and power blasts for Monica? Imagine if we actually get Monica the way she looked at the start of the show and baby Billy & Tommy pieces with Wanda and Monica! Hoping Cap Carter has the pentagonal classic shield.

Hoping we get the classic pentagonal shield with cap carter!

well this is a whole craze. Curious to see Cap Spidey. The worst offenders IMO so far are Cap Carter again and Zombie Cap - it would need some new specialized zombie arms or legs mould to make it up for choosing a boring fig. My bet is that if they don't do a new armor piece, they'll definitely do a new double blade sword piece.

Spiderman captain america...? Peter as Cap or Steve as Spidey?

I suppose this has to confirm something here. Either: 1. Cap Britain gets 2 outfits in the her episode and we don't know or 2. they introduce a new hair mould and had to reuse it in some way. I can't believe they genuinely did zombie cap. It was the one figure I hoped they'd stay away from. But at least we get Tchalla star lord.

Maybe the 5 What if? figs are Marvel's way to push marketing for the show? Unless it's directly connected to WV/MOM/NWH, I think there won't be as many people watching what if? as there were for WV, TFAWS and Loki, but maybe a marketing/merch push could help that, and it works with Lego since, y'know, you can create any scenario with bricks. Or maybe I'm just reading too deep into this.

I was really hoping for Zemo...but hopefully the other figs make up for it. I'll be happy if we get T'Challa star lord. my current prediction is as follows: Sam (cap falcon suit, not the initial one) with shield Bucky with knife Wanda (finale suit) with effect parts/blasts Vision with ??? (no idea) Agatha with Darkhold Vote Loki suit with daggers Owen Wilson's character with some files or a radio (dimension opener or something like that?) Star Lord TChalla with the guns Infinity Stones Ultron with cape and spear (as from the concept art) The Watcher Dark Doctor Strange with power blasts Thanos Armor Gamora with new double sword piece
