Marvel Superheroes 2024 - Rumors & Discussion
psqidexslizer replied to Clone OPatra's topic in LEGO Licensed
Just for the sake of argument, let’s compare this to the Sanctum Sanctorum. In that set, we got five new torsos, three new heads, two new legs, and a hair piece. Now, let’s look at what the remaining X-Men need. Jean Gray: new torso, new head Gambit: new legs, new torso, new head Jubilee: new legs, new torso, new head Prof X: new torso (debatable) Now, let’s assume Beast gets a lab coat so he’s not the same as the CMF. (Also Storm gets plain legs so the CMF is still unique for her too). Now, that’s nine figures and the same new prints as the Sanctum Sanctorum (except for a hairpiece). Not saying it will play out this way, but I can also see Lego not dedicating the same budget (ie number of prints) to an X-Mansion that they would Avengers Tower and Daily Bugle which are based on well established and successful properties. Especially given how the summer wave is playing out, ie no X-Men sets. The Sanctum Sanctorum is probably a good basis for what to expect in terms of minifigures, new prints, and even price and scale we can expect. edit: Now, granted, the reason we might not be seeing more X-Men sets in the summer could be because they’ve been marketed more to adults than to children for the past several years (and the more child friendly shows and movies are over a decade old at this point). Therefore, Lego will only advocate the budget for more X-Men if it’s 18+. But I’m gonna keep my expectations low. -

NGL, after seeing the summer wave, I don’t have much hope for the minifigure lineup. Probably just gonna be Magneto, most of 8 main ‘97 X-Men (I could see them leaving off Rogue so people need to buy the X-Jet), and Xavier. Hopefully the build is great. Any word on whether it’s gonna be modular styled or closer to Rivendell and Arkham Asylum? -

76294 appears to have been skipped over. I wonder if that’s the X-Mansion. -

Throw in a Wolverine, Jean Grey (with this hair https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=87995&idColor=5&name=Red Minifigure, Hair Bubble Style (Afro)&category=[Minifigure, Hair]#T=C&C=5), and Gambit, and you’ve got yourself a $100 set. -

That raises a lot of questions. Are the evil X-Men normal humans? Can evil Daredevil see? Did evil Gwen Stacy live? -

Replace Ant-Man with gun with Yellow Jacket with divorce papers. Also, just to add to this. Evil X-Jet ($2000, 367 pieces). Dark Phoenix, Cyclops with suitcase (to leave Madelyn), Kitty Pryde with pass, Ultimate Scarlet Witch, Ultimate Quicksilver, and Beast (J Edgar Hoover era). -
At least one of those last three has to be 4+ since we’re getting at least one 4+ set out of that bunch. Otherwise, your list is pretty much what I’d expect except instead of Catwoman so the the Batmobile, it’s another Joker. Gotta incentivize purchases of that $300 art set and a Harley Quinn variant very similar to the one twelve years ago isn’t going to cut it.
-
Catwoman wasn’t on the initial list, but otherwise, yeah. And, of course, there could be more figures in the art set that aren’t being reported. Or Freeze and Phantasm could be in the art set and just weren’t mentioned and we may see other villains in the normal sets. But my best guess based off the hints we’ve gotten is just those five and Batman and maybe Robin.
-
We’re getting five sets. Largest one is the art set and includes Batman, Joker, Harley, and Catwoman. Another one is related to buildable figures. That leaves at most three sets with minifigures. Mr Freeze and Phantasm have both been hinted at. I’d be surprised if Joker remained exclusive to the art set. They’ll probably spread those three villains out. So, my best guess is we’re just gonna get Joker, Harley, Catwoman, Mr Freeze and Phantasm.

Her and Mr Freeze have both been hinted at. Both were also included in the survey leak for the art set that now allegedly includes Catwoman instead. -

Joker and Batman will be the only two minifigures in all four of these sets. -

Seems to just be wishful thinking at this point. -

I don’t think this will be the case. 1) The designers seemed to hint during the Avengers Tower reveal that next years set was going to be the best build ever. Now, obviously this is very much a matter of opinion, but I wouldn’t say what we saw is even in the top 10. 2) We already know that Batman art set isn’t going to include the same figures as the survey, so it doesn’t seem like the survey is final. 3) As others have pointed out, the figure lineup outside the mansion seem to be far more inspired by who appeared in the movies than who appears in ‘97, which makes me think it was an old prototype. -

My guess is they have plans to reuse Wolverine for other sets and prioritized his figure looking good over Cyclops. -

This is the first time I’ve heard anyone mention the tower being released for the MCU’s 15th anniversary. -

You are correct that the box didn’t advertise it. I know many media outlets made a big deal about it being released for the 30th anniversary. I thought Lego did as well but I can’t find anything.
