I really doubt this will happen. Even the MOCs I’ve seen that house a Quinjet only ever do the smaller ones, not the massive one we got this past year. And even then, those MOCs are clearly over the $500 price tag.

In all seriousness, I like the idea a couple of people have floated of a modular Daily Planet to coincide with the release of Superman Legacy. It’s got a pretty iconic look thanks to the giant globe up top. The Daily Bugle should be retired by then so all the newspaper skyscraper modular enthusiasts will need a new way to get their fix. And you can pack it full of figures without needing a bunch of new prints (my ideal lineup would be Superman, Supergirl, Steel, Krypto, Superboy, Powergirl, Lex Luthor (armor), Brainiac, General Zod, Bizarro, Doomsday, Darkseid, Clark Kent, Lois Lane, Jimmy Olsen, Perry White, Cat Grant, Steve Lombard, Franklin Stern, Lex Luthor (suit), Mercy Graves, Maggie Sawyer, Dan Turpin, Emil Hamilton, and Bibbo) to make a big display piece celebrating Superman, which seems to be what Legacy is all about. It probably won’t happen, but as long as we’re dreaming, might as well dream big.

Yes, but the $400 Joker vs Batman set also includes an exclusive Harley Quinn. 😝

Hopefully the coming film reboot will actually be a success and we’ll finally get more than just 3 Batman vs Joker sets per year.

I’m really interested to see what a new Hulk figure means. Are they just gonna take one of the old molds and make a Hulk that’s accurate to the Avengers final battle, or are they going to reuse the new Thanos mold and make a new bigfig hair piece for him? Loki also seems like a very weird exclusion since he is in arguably the two most iconic scenes that take place at Avengers tower.

There’s literally a character who is only ever mentioned in the comics. He never even physically appears, they just mention him sometimes. And he got included in the Bugle set. But no, I guess four members of a literal alien army that fought at the tower is just going too far.

Rumor is all three of these are new.

The three from the CMF are all based on the animated series and its revival (which are technically all direct 1-1 adaptations of the comics, except Storm who didn’t have a Mohawk when wearing the white suit.) The ones from previous sets have all been comic based.

It came out in 2021 while Lego didn’t start released X-Men merchandise again until 2022. If memory serves, he didn’t come right out and say they weren’t allowed to use them. He said there were characters they couldn’t use and characters they had to cut because they didn’t have the room. And he mentioned those two as choices that didn’t make the cut without saying why. Does seem weird though that Blade would make the cut over Iceman and Human Torch who actually are friends with Spider-Man, but I’m just speculating here. At least 22 is the rumor. Iron Man suits (x2), Hulk (bigfig), Falcon, Vision, Wasp, Ultron, Hawkeye, Helen Cho, Antman (microfigure), Chitauri (x4), Tony Stark, Captain America, Black Widow, War Machine, Scarlet Witch, Pepper Potts, Nick Fury, and Wong.

If I’m not mistaken, the designer for the Daily Bugle mentioned him as well as Iceman as characters he wanted to put in the set but didn’t. He also made it sound like Marvel didn’t approve the choices because of the X-Men and Fantastic Four merchandizing ban that was in effect at the time. Would be pretty cool if Lego could sneak the two of them into future comic-based Spider-Man sets.

Technically, no? I mean, there’s not really an X-Men team atm, but she wasn’t on the most recent rosters.

We’re gotten plenty of comic based sets, sure. But nearly all of them are Spider-Man. That said, as far as the Avengers go we’ve gotten comic accurate versions of Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Hulk, Hawkeye, Black Panther, Falcon, She-Hulk, Miss Marvel, Captain Marvel, War Machine, Red Skull, Red Hulk, Red She-Hulk, Justin Hammer, Thanos, Taskmaster, and Modok. Which is a pretty good selection for the, idk, 5 comic based sets we’ve gotten in the past 11 years. There’s still Avengers characters I’d like to see get comic adaptations, namely Black Widow, Scarlet Witch, Quicksilver, Wasp, Ant-Man, Dr Strange, Vision, Loki, Kang, Baron Zemo, Enchantress, Leader, Abomination, Baron Mordo, and Ultron. I understand why Lego chooses focus on the MCU instead of comic accurate sets. But still, I’d like to see maybe two or three sets and a couple of mechs just to narrow down this list. Also, the real disappointment when it comes to Lego Marvel, IMO, is that we still haven’t seen anyone from the Fantastic Four. Just one set is all it would take to give us the whole team. Doesn’t even have to be a Fantastic Four set. Just throw them and the Fantasticar in a Spider-Man set and call it a day. But between the movies flopping and Marvel’s (now-lifted) ban on Fantastic Four and X-Men sets, it doesn’t seem likely that we’ll get them for a few years.

Actually, they have all been members of the X-Men at some point in the past. Even Sabertooth.

They’re likely, but until we get confirmation, I wouldn’t count them as given. I’d love to get more X-Men sets in the summer. A Sentinel in the style of the buildable figures with a couple of X-Men seems like a no-brainer. Wolverine Motorcylce vs some X-Men villain is another pretty obvious choice (maybe with a civilian Logan in a brown jacket just to spice things up). Not sure what else they could adapt from the show; but just looking at the Mandarin Doom Buggy and Spider-Man Monster Van I don’t think that having source material actually matters. Edit: Also, I really don’t know what you mean by “classic” team, because the 90’s show left out quite a few big names from the roster such as Nightcrawler, Colossus, and Kitty Pryde.

Personally, I’d rather they just reused a generic suit torso and saved the budget for a new print for someone who actually needs it.

Nice. I doubt we’ll see leaked pictures anytime soon, but hopefully more details will leak such as a final list of the figures and a general floor layout.

Arguably they don’t even have to do that much. Just stick him in a generic suit and no one (except maybe a handful of diehards for the ‘92 cartoon look) is going to care.

A new character is a new character, even if you have to pay $500 to get it. 😜

We’re allegedly getting Phantasm in the Skyline set.

Isn’t Marvel, so they can’t even Venomize him. 😝 There’s five sets coming for DC. Price and contents unknown, except one is the skyline display.

The very obvious answer that absolutely no one wants to hear is they can just take the underground rooms and make them above ground rooms. Cerebro? Throw it upstairs. The danger room? Throw it upstairs. Same with the War Room, Beast’s lab, the medical bay, and the obligatory holding cell (which surprisingly is actually a thing from the source material this time around). Is it accurate to the source material? Nope. Is your average 13 year old going to care so long as they’ve got a cool Mansion that features all the rooms they recognize from the TV series? Probably not.

So far everything else that has leaked and then released has looked like it has in those pictures. Not saying this will be the case for the X-Mansion, but I think it’s a fairly safe assumption that what we saw is what we’re getting. Only thing that I expect will change is the figure designs (not the line-up), kinda like how in the catalog preliminaries that usually leak the builds turn out to be fairly accurate to the final models and only the figures designs change.

Google “Lego X-Men Mansion leak.” It’ll pop up under images.

A jail cell that isn’t featured in any of the films, a medical bay that is essentially just a stretcher with an IV stand attached, some exploding wall functions, side characters who were never there, some weird little hover bike, and (this one’s a deal breaker for me) a red fire extinguisher.

I think, best case scenario, they slip a Deadpool figure into the X-Mansion. The problem with Deadpool isn’t the violence. It’s the profanity, innuendos, and other mature content. Lego has avoided making sets of off properties for those reasons before. Ie, for Suicide Squad, they threw some of the characters in Batman sets because they didn’t want “Suicide” on their boxes. Daredevil and Punisher were thrown in the Daily Bugle because they’re best known at this point for the Netflix series and Lego didn’t want to sell figures to kids for that reason (the set was aimed at an older audience which made it ok). And then there’s desexualizing Black Cat’s costume in that same set (which upset a surprising number of people here).
