who is the character with the wooden leg?

Christmas hulkbuster with santa ironman coming later this year apparently

Just seen the final designs for series 5 were unveiled at an event a few days ago https://www.brickfanatics.com/lego-bricklink-series-5-final-showcased/

Lego Marvel Designers talking about Deadpool here: https://www.brickfanatics.com/lego-deadpool-difficult-ryan-reynolds/

The first spiderman pic here has arm printing. Seems some pics do and some don't. Rumour is it does come with arm printing but it was a last minute change. https://brickset.com/article/120441/marvel-mini-bust-sets-announced! Apparently the same thing has happened recently with a star wars figure

Can't see past the forehead on the Iron Man build. That looks terrible, it looks like it has 2 sets of eyes. The spiderman one is good, but wouldn't bother unless it was at least 40% off.

No problem. I've seen Rivendell at 15% off before but this is the first time I've seen Barad Dur discounted. Not great timing with The Shire Set announced on the same day . On the topic of value, the 3 sets together would cost you over £1000, so a 15% discount adds up to a fair amount. I do think the photo of the 3 sets lined up together doesn't show The Shire off very well. I know it's supposed to be low and it's difficult to display next to the 2 taller sets. But they have chosen to upload that photo. Rivendell is the standout, and the tower's shere size is impressive but the Shire to me currently is just overpriced.

Rivendell and Barad Dur sets are both 15% off on amazon in the UK.

Agree with that list, I'd love to see that. They would fly off the shelves. They could even increase the price, I know the CMFs have been the same for a while but if they did this well I wouldn't mind paying a bit more.

If they did that, the demand for it would be insane. My son has got into the Pokemon TCG which has dragged me into something I hadn't looked at since I was 13. It seems to have gone bonkers lately with people fighting over packs of cards in shops. They would print money with this.

Couple of links to Lego's website with a bit more info https://www.lego.com/en-gb/themes/pokemon/about https://www.lego.com/en-us/aboutus/news/2025/march/LEGO-Pokémon-Partnership-Announcement

I'm hoping it will be at least a mix of some minifigure scale sets and some brick built sets (the jurassic park brick built dinosaurs are pretty good). There could be art sets and all sorts. I'll stay hopeful they will do it well! Could be well timed. The hype of the trading card game has really peaked lately and lots of adults seem to be getting back into pokemon.

Insert shut up and take my money meme here

Saw the captain america red hulk set for 40% off today. £30 instead of £50 in sainsburys, UK.

Officially December but I suppose it could go out of stock beforehand. I've seen some pretty good discounts on it in the UK so will aim to pick it up soon https://www.brickfanatics.com/two-lego-star-wars-marvel-sets-retiring-2025/

Just heard the Milano set has had it's retirement date brought forward to this year. If anyone hasn't picked it up yet

Drama in leakland

Spiderverse cmf lineup has leaked. Sounds great! Miles Gwen India 2099 Spider byte Cyborg spider woman Punk Prowler Peter b parker Werewolf Sun spider Cowboy

Agreed

Didn't realise you could cancel them. I went a bit overboard last series so might do that to limit the damage!

Castle does so well in the designer programme. You can see why they keep picking them. The transylvania set next time round is going to go super quick.

Seaside Market sold out

Well done! Stay strong. Fomo is real with bricklink designer programme. I'm not fussed about the seaside castle and haven't ordered it but part of is tempted just because it's the only chance to get it! I have ordered the siege set though. Impressed with that one

FF trailer just released. Looks good! wonder when we'll see first images of the Lego set

Thanks for your reply. It struck me as quite soon which is why I wanted to check. Brick fanatics have it as going this year, but appreciate these things change. https://www.brickfanatics.com/every-lego-set-retiring-this-year-and-beyond/#retiring-ninjago-sets I picked up the gardens on discount from lego in 2023 so hopefully the markets will get the same treatment at black friday.
