Walt Disney and Kevin Feige in the same year. Now if they make a George Lucas fig I can stage my Disney heads battle

IMO the existence of the Dark Trooper attack shows Lego does get info on spoiler sets and therefore they are more likely. Of course Ahsoka will never be near the hype of Luke Skywalker returning, but given Ahsoka is only 3/4's done, and two of the most important characters in the show are likely to have large involvement in what will be 3 out of 8 episodes (I'm talking about Thrawn and Ezra btw), it sure seems like a great opportunity to sell toys. I'm betting on another set with Thrawn, Ezra, and Enoch.

I'm sure this has been asked to death, but if the UCS is november how quickly have leaks come in the past?

Really it's criminal that Quicksilver or Selvig would be excluded given they have scenes IN the tower and either haven't gotten figs ever or haven't had them in a decade. Helen Cho is a nice inclusion. I agree that Quinjet won't be included, the version that just came out seems obviously to be a companion to the tower, a la Gargantos battle and Sanctorum Sanctum. If there's going to be swappable Stark/Avengers plates, my pipe dream is to have a "Qeng" plate (a la Loki s1) and a Kang fig.

I told myself I was gonna buy 2 6-packs of the CMFs and as soon as I found them at target I folded. I get one now and then buying groceries, and hands down the vast majority have been Agatha. I have 6-7 at this point. With that in mind I find it hard to believe they are evenly distributed in boxes, or else I am extremely unlucky. I do make a point to grab them from different aisles. So far I have 3 Hawkeyes, 3 Moon Knights, 3 Echos, 6-7 Agathas, 2 Beasts, 1 Werewolf, 1 Kate Bishop, 1 SheHulk. I never got a Wolverine, Storm, Goliath, or Mr. Knight, and basically waiting for street date so I can trade for Mr. Knight at B&M. My thoughts on the set are that its a little underwhelming. It just doesnt have any big hitters for me like the first one did, like Cap Falcon, Wanda, Throg, etc...

Yea the GWP seems random, but surely it's an accesory to the Avengers tower. Which probably means BP isn't in it, and that there's an outrider or two as badguys, which is also kinda weird.

Lego doesnt care about where its located. Most fans probably wouldnt either. Even if they did, this whole conversation is based on yhe assumption that Lego will create more Marvel modulars, which they have no obligation to do. I guarantee modular collectors would dive for an Xmansion even if it isnt modular.

I really dont see a reason another giant Spidey UCS modular would happen. Everybody's naming the Marvel skyscrapers, but theres little reason to do that woth the same 20 Spidey villains (even the bugle had to be filled out with extra civillian figs). Like maybe the Baxter building but I'd really argue nobody really knows the building other than "base of the F4." I think a pair of buildings like other modulars would make a lot more sense, like Nelson & Murdock, an alley, and a high rise with some apartments for Peter/MJ, etc... Honestly the X Mansion being a modular UCS makes more sense than anything else, especially if theres a blackbird coming next year.

I'd love to get a Kaecilius, but what could they do with Dr. Strange? From a toy/movie perspective, it really is a very boring movie. Lord knows nobody will buy the set for Dr. Strange or Wong figures, and minifig collectors know Ancient One is a very cheap and undesirable fig. I really think Kaecilius's time to be included was the Sanctum set, and it's passed. That said, more guardians figs would always be welcome. "Collector" museum sets would fly off of the shelves if they did it a la the Iron Man armory sets. Great opportunity to get Collector, Howard, Cosmo, and Drax figs.

I got them at Target. I like the boxes a lot, but man it sucks buying blind bags. I went back and got 4 more. 2 more Hawkeyes, another Beast, and Moon Knight. I purposely grabbed them from separate aisles. Kill me.

I was planning on buying a pair of the six-packs from lego.com, but I found a bunch of the new CMF in the wild and couldn't help myself. In some kind of cruel irony, I got Hawkeye and Beast, probably the two I want least of the whole set ;_;

My apologies @Peppermint_M! Edited!

Thank you ma'am!

Hello, can I have my name updated to "thebricksbear"? I'm looking for consistency across my accounts like some of the other requests here.

One leaker drops the list and suddenly we've got set descriptions for most of these? I very much doubt there's any legit info on which figs are in which sets.

It's still criminal that we've gotta a thousand Spidey sets and still only the one Iron Spider that's appeared in 4 MCU entries now.

At the end of the the movie the little ships that disconnect from the Bowie are shown to be the Guardians' previous ships. One is the Benetar, and I believe the other is this one. For people who bought the Bowie lego, the set emulates these with the little pink windscreen ships that disconnect. It really seems to me that Lego may be addressing minifig-fans' disappointment with 2023 by releasing these extra NWH and Guardians sets. I really can't imagine any other reason another NWH set would be released other than to include Lizard (if another set is released and it's the same characters from the curent set, the disrespect will be immeasurable :D). Rocket's ship is also a baffling choice without one of the missing Guardians villains... Maybe a new Yonu, or possible Ego? High Evolutionary or Cosmo would make more sense, but I wouldn't be upset by Kraglin. Remember though that at this pricepoint, Lego just released Rocket's getaway ship with a single fig and baby Rocket.

This is Rocket's warbird from Vol 3 by the way. It's a little more Milano-colored in Vol 1.

Hmmm Cap 4 set doesn't seem big enough for a bigfig...

Happy Hogan/Coulson are a couple of the worst minifigs in the superheroes line, and a few of my fav characters. The CMF sets just don't work well with standard human characters, they have to be interesting in some way. Monica Rambeau had super powers and she's a horribly dull cmf fig, even with her new hairpiece. I think the exception to that is unique looking figs, like Alfred, JJ Jameson, and TChalla Starlord. I just can't imagine an Olivia Coleman fig being very interesting. Best for those characters to be MOCed

What are you measuring how much people dislike Captain Marvel with? Comments? Brickbride gave you numbers and a lot of detail and you haven't really said why you believe it's so unliked.

Honestly I'm really disappointed to see the baseless hate for Captain Marvel here. I really thought EB was better than that. Does Ms Marvel have mid legs or regular legs? The stand up shot looks like regular legs, but in the shot that she's sitting it really looks like mid legs, which I really hope is the case.

It's sad that the price is so unbelievably bad, because the build is actually sick. The figs look just like the movie, nothing revolutionary. It'd be a great set for like $40.

Please don't hold your breath until August January would be a great opportunity for a new Infinity Saga "wave," since there probably won't be any direct tie-ins to the MCU until June for Captain America. With almost a solid year without tie-in fig-scale sets, I am pretty salty this year's been a little dry.

You know perfectly well I wasnt talking about Wolverine. Even casual MCU followers know Kang is the new "Thanos." No idea where you're getting this from.
