How many Marvels didn’t make the cut?

Unless it’s system scaled I don’t see most people here being excited.

Oh, nice. So we should be seeing it by May and hopefully finding out more details soonish. But for now, we can all just place our bets on how disappointed everyone is gonna be.

I don’t own the buildable figures to try this out, but I’m gonna say no just based on them being wider than the windshield piece.

Oh, it's definitely going to be either a large vehicle (maybe a Batmobile the buildable Batman can ride in, like someone of the Marvel thread suggested) or a giant display piece like a Batman version of the Black Panther bust. We're just having fun getting our hopes up for a large system-scaled modular-styled building with cool minifigures and builds.

If anyone is curious what a modular-styled Arkham could look like, here's one I've been working on (just need to buy the pieces for it, lol). https://www.instagram.com/p/Co4wiPZOoc5/?hl=en Now granted, this one is up near 7000 pieces. But if you cut out the fence, used bigger bricks for the walls, cut out the tiled floors, and did a different floorplan you could probably get it down to around 4000 pieces.

It is 2022 and AFOLs are excited for what will surely be a $500 Avengers Tower. It is 2023 and AFOLs are excited for what will surely be a $500 Avengers Tower. It is 2024 and AFOLs are excited for what will surely be a $500 Avengers Tower. 😝

Joker Manor coat $270 and most Batcaves cost roughly $100. Adjusted for inflation, that’s probably close to $450. So a Wayne Manor and Batcave at that price point isn’t that far of a stretch.

Klarion the Witch Boy GWP.

$500 Tower of Fate, let’s go!!!

Marvel only gets all the good leaks because they get all the sets.

Intriguing. What are the odds Lego listened and actually made a giant modular Avengers Tower? No. It doesn't have to be. Could be a giant buildable Groot or Venom.

Even if the CMF series just winds up being Venomized variants of Spider-Man characters?

In theory? Yeah, they probably don't all weigh exactly the same. In practice? The difference between the weights is probably very small and you'd probably need a very precise and accurate scale to actually tell the difference. So unless you plan on dragging your expensive scale into the store with you, calibrating it, and weighing all the boxes, you're out of luck. But that's not even the biggest problem. You'd need to know what each figure weighed before you go and buy them and the only way to figure that out is to weigh the box and then open it and see what's inside. So you need to buy the figures first in order to figure out how to find the figures later on. Now, there's two solutions here. 1. You find someone who is going to be weighing minifigures too and get the data from them. 2. You compile the weight of every box in the case and then pick out one box for each weight set (mind you, this only works if you want a complete set). But, there's a drawback. If any two weigh the same, you're back down to blind luck. But with better odds of getting a complete set than before. Of course, this is all just speculation on my part. We won't know if it can be done until someone is crazy brave enough to go and perform the experiment. If you're that someone, well, good luck to you and let us know how it goes.

Just my two cents, but anyone expecting 3 exclusive figures in a $35 set is setting themselves up for disappointment. We haven't seen that happen in a superhero set since 2021, and just looking at this year alone, Lego has cut back on their superhero minifigures quite a bit.

Based on the minifigure selection for the QuANTuMANia and GotG3 sets, I think our safest bet for the Flash set is to just assume it only comes with Batman and The Batmobile.

Maybe the CMF series will just be all the MCU villains Lego has skipped over the years. Lizard, Abomination, Zemo, Ego, Collector, High Evolutionary, Kang, Agatha, Kaecillius, John Walker, MODOK, and Malekith. That's 12 right there.

Most of the X-Men characters from the show? Sure. From the comics. Not a chance. We'd be lucky to get big names who weren't in the show, or just barely in it, like Kitty Pryde, Magik, Havok, Psylocke, Angel, and Ice-Man. And I'm certainly not holding my breathe on getting lesser knowns like X-Ceptional and Eye-Scream, even if by some miracle they get their own Disney+ series.

Next spring when Spider-Gwen goes after him with her Ghost Spider Helicopter.

Wrong. Every Flash Lego set that gets brought brings Ezra that much closer to escaping whatever secret underground bunker WB is holding them in until after the film releases.

There's not one, not two, but three instances in Suicide Squad (2016) where a bunch of ordinary people fall out of the sky in a helicopter (I'm pretty sure it even explodes one of those times) and are perfectly fine. Compared to that, Superman going back in time by flying really fast (technically, if he could go faster than the speed of light, he would go back in time and the Earth would appear to rotate backwards as he did) is nothing.

You jest, but the Spider-Man bridge battle set included Green Goblin and a feature to push people off the top of the bridge. You must not watch many superhero movies.

We got a system scale '66 Batmobile and a system scale Tumbler back in 2021. They didn't lead to anything and I wouldn't get your hopes up on this leading to anything either. In terms of Reeves based Superman sets, you could do Lex Luthor's lair from the first film (a bit of a stretch if I'm being honest since it isn't all that iconic) and the Fortress of Solitude (which would make for a pretty cool set and would appeal to fans of Superman in general).

Well, that's disappointing. Another Batman '89 set? With another Keaton Batman and Nicholson Joker. If we can't get sets based on the movies we have coming out like Shazam and Black Adam and if we can't get comic based sets featuring characters in those films, can we at least get sets that aren't based on the same three Batman movies? Batman Returns, Batman Forever, The Dark Knight Rises, heck even Batman and Robin? I'm not even gonna bother listing any of the others because we're more likely to get Batman fighting Howard the Duck as a set than even a Superman I or Superman II set. And a Batman buildable figure? Does anyone even like those? Didn't those flop back in 2011. What a bizarre choice. And I'm not getting my hopes up on those other two sets. One is probably that $300 Gotham City diorama that I still don't get the appeal for outside of like one figure. The other is probably for Aquaman 2, which I am admittedly looking forward to, even if it is probably just going to be our third Aquaman vs Black Manta submarine. This theme, man. Even when we do get sets they're still disappointing.

Well, not necessarily. They could make it just a 1:1 adaptation of the X-Men '97 manor. Or they could pull from a bunch of different sources. Who knows. Yeah, before the Fox films, Cerebro was just a generic computer and helmet. But here's the thing. The Fox version is iconic. So iconic that people on this forum literally forgot it was never depicted that way before the films. It's the same thing with Mr Freeze. Before Heart of Ice he was just a generic evil guy with an ice gun who just happened to be stuck in a refrigerator suit because of some accident. In the Batman '66 series, Batman was responsible for his condition. But Heart of Ice was so popular, it became the backstory everyone associated with him. And not even the New 52 or The Batman (TV cartoon, not the movie) has managed to change that. And there are plenty of other cases like that too. General Zod, Barry Allen's dead mom, Two Face's origin from The Long Halloween just to name a few. Not saying Cerebro is one such case, but it might turn out to be.
