Not sure how deep everyone is into the LEGO marvel, but Firestar toys in the UK just dropped a ton of custom printed arms for the multiverse of madness minifigs. Grabbed the ones for america Chavez bc her minifig definitely needed armprinting and didn’t get it. They also released a version of Wanda when she fought the illumanti and it’s def something LEGO would never produce

I was hoping for some decent deals on the Star Wars or Marvel helmets for Prime Days but the deals was really disappointing for legos. I did pick up the Harry Potter set for $30 couple dollars,not a bad deal imo. I guess I’ll save up for the Strange set.

I haven't been into Legos since I was a kid, but I picked up the Home Alone set for my wife's birthday (after it was sold out everywhere for Xmas). She loves it, and we're looking forward to building it together. I also saw the castle coming out next month, which hit hard on nostalgia for me.
Any tips/suggestions for somebody who is relatively new to modern LEGO? Any websites, Youtube/social media channels to follow, etc would be welcomed as well.

After having gotten it on it's release date, I finally put Mjolnir together after seeing Love and Thunder. Really is a nice piece, and I like that the base for it makes it look like it smashed into the ground. I still have 4 other big sets to put together, and I keep going back and forth on getting the Milano too.

Far exceeded my expectations for a LEGO marvel set and was a great multi day build. I got Mjolnir for my brother in law for his birthday when Target had it on sale and I can’t wait to give it to him next week |

Git the Goat Boat a few days ago, super fun build. Most fun I've had building in a minute.
Lego Office looks cool and $120 for 2,000 pieces doesn't seem bad to me

Lego Office looks cool and $120 for 2,000 pieces doesn't seem bad to me I hope I'm wrong but I think its less then 1200 pieces on The Office set. I pre ordered it earlier and thought it was about a dime for each piece,so I went ahead and got it but I was busy today and didn't pay a lot of attention so hopefully you're right but either way it looks great and loaded with minifigs so I had to get it. Between this and the Spidey 3 pack,I'm kindve glad I missed out on the Funko drop. |

Either way, I've always thought $10 per 100 pieces was a decent deal so proce is still ok for me. But yeah, Office set can wait because the Spider-Man 3-Pack took priority lol |

Like I said I didn't pay a lot of attention today but I think I read it comes with around 12-15(I think 15) minifigs,I count them as $5 each personally so $75. That only leaves the rest for $45,not a awful price imo compared to some other sets that's came out lately. Plus I'm a huge The Office fan,had to get it. |

New Office set looks fun. Probably will end up buying that one. Haven't bought anything new since the Rise of the Domo set unfortunately. Since then I decided to trade/sell off my MCU Minifigures for the Comic based ones.  dice 6Ended up getting these in a trade this week. Stoked to have them all and honestly couldn't pick a favorite out of the lot. Have Taskmaster, MODOK and Scorpion without his tail coming next week so I'm excited for those too. |

What's everyone's opinion of the Avatar sets? I'm surprised I like them as much as I do but still on the fence about actually buying them.

I won’t be picking any up as I stick to MCU sets but they’re definitely a great intro to a theme. |

Same as deadman89 said ive watched the movies and think the sets look great but no interest at all in them personally and I'm so happy about that. With everything we've seen lately from all these toy companies I need a little break and my bank account need a huge break. I gotta try to mostly stick to Marvel(besides the occasional purchases of things like The Office set)

Thanks for the feedback. Probably going to hold off on these. Maybe get some if they go on sale. And Finn made a good point about trying to save some money for everything else that's coming out. Plus gotta have money for the new Indiana Jones sets next year 😆.

Images of 3 of the 4 black Panther Wakanda forever sets have made their way to the internet and I’m pumped. Legos pricing is starting (I say that half jokingly) to get a little much, but from the trailers it looks like they’re finally doing a better job giving us movie accurate sets without spoiling anything

High res images of the black Panther sets are our, keeping their big $80 set under wraps still for the time being. No massive changes from the initial impressions, all minfigs look great, but the back of the boxes show an updated Okoye and new M’Baku so presumably they’ll be in the $80 set, let’s go!
