DC fan far more than Marvel, so don't know the story at all beyond the movie trailer, but these look very cool.

I love Marvel movies and collecting minifigures, but I don't seem to be too interested in these. Weird.

Overall, they could be good. I don't know enough about the movie (maybe I should watch the trailer?) to know how good these examples are.

Normally I could care less about box art, but this template is quite handsome!

Took them long enough.

I really like the graphics printed (I hope they are printed) on the pieces for the pizza slice. Based on what I can see in the images, those graphics might have lots of other uses.

I have no interest in the film, but look forward to picking some of these on clearance.

Not banned, but ‘removed from schedule’ along with Shang-Chi.

On another note, I have little interest in the film itself (I’m sure it would be good, I’m just not that excited), but the minifigures here are decent enough.

as a somewhat big Marvel nerd I have no idea who the Eternals are. and after watching the trailers...well, same answer as before. I'll admit I wasn't super into the "cosmic" side of Marvel though, so makes sense that I'm ignorant of these folks.

I love me some MCU but this movie just doesn't look that interesting. I'll totally still watch it on disney+ after the premium fee goes away. I'm just happy to see some Marvel Lego sets that I don't want! Hope the movie doesn't change my mind! :D

Normally, I'm "I want it for this minifigure". Especially with the superhero sets, to put in my City. But mostly these are a hard pass for me. I might get 76155 In Arishem's Shadow, just for the Celestial build, though.

The blades used for the Deviants' wings appear to be opalescent.

Also the photos suggest the 6x6 domes used in the Domo and Arishem's feet arent just trans-clear

Is the big triangle ship 76156 rise of the domo $100 or $90 because in the database its rrp is listed as $89.99

Knowing absolutely nothing about these characters or the movie, looking at images of these sets, my favourite thing has to be Gilgamesh’s flaming gold fists.

By the way, is this supposed to be the same Gilgamesh who was King of Uruk or is marvel just borrowing names?

As of now this will be a cinemas-only release.

Personally, this looks to be the most interesting of this year’s MCU offerings for me- the director and cast are interesting and it seems very different from the standard Marvel fare. Of course, my taste is more esoteric than most people’s, so I completely understand the relative lack of interest."

It will 100% be on Disney+ eventually, just take a bit longer ;)

Yes, but it won’t be available as a rental through Disney+

I know nothing about The Eternals comics and have seen no previews/trailers/anything for the movie (and don't even know when it comes out)...so these sets have NO appeal to me. Normally some sets from movies I haven't seen will still have some kind of appeal. These do not. Nothing. Nada.

Lego sure is not what it used to be. I don't think everything trasnforms well into Lego. I mean, look at it, its a triangular block for gods sake... I don't care if it opens up and Lord of the Rings came out of it. Not for me thanks.

I mean people will but it, it has unique marvel minifigures in it;)"

It's what a lot of people said about Guardians of the Galaxy

"I like this red mech - it has "Pacific Rim" vibe, with some extra parts I think it could be modded into nice Jaeger :D"

It really needs a bit more bulk to it to make it look like a jaeger but I can see where your coming from. Those feet need one hell of a redo though.

I'm not particularly interested in all this Eternals nonsense but that big robot-looking thing is just awesome

In Arishem's Shadow looks fantastic, I assume that Mech is on the good side? The two mechs with the Domo should be sold individually, as I doubt that many people will be interested in combining with the triangular block for $100.

I'll take that Celestial thank you.

And judging from the trailers, the Eternals are far more akin to DC’s Endless (from Neil Gaiman’s Sandman) than traditional spandex-wearing superheroes. Maybe I’m getting my hopes up too high.

But hey, regardless of Marvel’s forgettable shlock this year, at least we’re getting Act 2 of “The Sandman” Audible audio drama and the first season of “The Sandman” Netflix adaptation.

Forget it, there’s no way any summer blockbuster with a weightless CGI action sequences quota to fill can come anywhere close to Neil Gaiman’s “The Sandman”."

So…you like The Sandman?"

(Glances at Sandman omnibuses) No ;)

Considering the potential builds with all those astrolabe tiles, dishes, etc on the Domo.

No mechs here. One Celestial and some Deviants, but no mechs whatsoever. They are all organic lifeforms.

It took me a minute to figure out what you were talking about with Grimace. The current big MCU build ups are Kang and the Multiverse, with the introduction of Mutants another thing that will keep people watching every movie/show looking for hints and post credit scenes.

Comments here in general seem a bit strange to me, with so many people excited and eager to say they don't have any interest in or knowledge of the property. "

Exactly! It's all but assured that KANG! is the next big bad, with a story arc that has the potential to be more overarching and coherent than the Infinity Saga. His introduction has already been handled better than Thanos'.

Regarding your second comment, is this a clear example of a "new" generation of Marvel fandom that is almost exclusively focused on the MCU? While the Eternals have never been super prominent in the Marvel Universe, they have popped up regularly enough that any self-described "Marvel nerds" should be familiar with them. Someone referenced the 21st century Neil Gaiman run above. And going farther back, the whole Sersi/Black Knight arc was a key plot point of the Avengers for years. I am very much looking forward to seeing what Kit Harrington does with the character in this movie.

@MutoidMan:
Watch “Hulk”. Think about the fact that they said it’s not part of the MCU. Watch the intro to “The Incredible Hulk”. That’s “Hulk”, in the MCU. It’s right there, staring at you.

The two best Marvel movies aren’t even part of the MCU, nor were they produced by Marvel Studios (being Deadpool and Logan). On par with them are The Dark Knight and Joker. Most of the MCU isn’t that great. I really liked the first Guardians. I liked the second Guardians, the Ironman trilogy, the first Thor, and the second Captain America, but the rest...

The first Captain America, like reading The Great Gatsby in high school, put me to sleep multiple times before I could power through the opening bit. The third felt like they picked teams more based on who needed to unexpectedly switch sides than what anyone would have actually felt was the right decision (and CGI Spiderboy looks really bad). The second Thor I barely remember watching because it was so forgettable. The third, unfortunately, was not, but it gives Wisconsin a run for its money in biggest producer of cheese. One of the more popular jokes doesn’t even make sense. Thor knows Hulk “from work”? So he was hired by The Avengers? Is he salaried or hourly? What does he earn? Does he pay taxes to Asgard, the US, or whatever nation he’s superheroing in at the moment (or do they pay him under the table? Does he have a resident green card? Does he even know what a job is (judging by Couch Potato Thor, probably not). I didn’t like any of the four Avengers films, and Grimace looked beyond terrible. Antman barely had time to read off the rules before they were crumpled up and tossed out the window (Antman 2 forgot they ever had rules). Dr. Strange had really fancy visuals that it relied on a bit too much. Marvel’s Captain Marvel could have cast a ficus in the lead role and I probably wouldn’t have noticed the difference. And Black Panther, while not a particularly bad film (I actually really liked the portrayal of the character whose original name they had to avoid mentioning because it’s so incredibly racist), gets way too much credit for being the eighth or ninth black superhero to headline a movie (another Marvel character even managed to get in an entire trilogy that apparently nobody remembers). I’m skipping all the Spider-flicks that aren’t named after Venom.

Now, if you want to say all of those movies are better than, say, Steel, or Catwoman, sure. I’ll give you that. Most of them are even better than Whedon’s Marveltaged cut of Justice League. Better than the Snyder Cut? I’d have to watch them back-to-back to see if I’d allow that for the first Guardians. Otherwise, no.

The Trailer for this looked good a completely different type of movie to Avengers, or X-men clearly but just just like Shang-Chi this is one I wasn't familiar with but I like the sets and will probably buy the Aerial Assault and Deviant Attack out of all these
One think I have noticed is some of the heads are repeats from other minifigs! But still nice nevertheless..

(Funny) Joking aside, once the Avengers had to register with the government, they were technically employees. That particular joke was conceived by a young fan who was visiting set the day that they filmed that scene.

@ForestMenOfEndor:
At the end of Avengers 2, Banner/Hulk launches himself into space, and Thor returns to Asgard to seek answers. Meanwhile, back on Earth, Civil War happens, and the Sokovia Accords are passed. Back out in space, Thor bumps into Hulk in Ragnarok, and, even though neither of them have returned to Earth since Avengers 2, nor been in communication with anyone on Earth, Thor, who has never punched a clock in his life, suddenly knows all of this and considers his time with the Avengers to be a 9-to-5 job? And both were apparently employed in absentia? The eyebrow cannot raise high enough for that one.

Ah, an interesting Marvel mech for once.

It’s a joke, hardly worth getting so upset about :)

I'm exceptionally well read on virtually everything Marvel from the start of the Silver Age up through the early 2010's. I could likely only name 1 Eternal character. Sersi, and only because she was an Avenger. I've tried reading Eternals a few times over the years, but the entire core concept made them so unlikable. Just pompous arrogant @zzholes. Jack Kirby was unquestionably one of the greatest American Artists of the 20th century. A true legend. But he was an artist. His Writing skills were at best passable, and at worst... The Eternals. If you see anything you like in the Eternal's, go read Jack Kirby;s DC Fourth World stuff, which is the Eternal's but done much better.

yeah that's going to be a huge problem for Marvel, this is not comparable to GotG because with that Marvel was at least smart enough to change the entire team"

Changed the team as in when the comics introduced the 21st century version of the team? Those characters weren't any more popular or well known than the 30th century team were at the time.

Apparently you forgot that the Forgotten One was an Avenger too ; )
I think you are a little hard on Kirby the writer, but for sure he wasn't the most naturalistic scripter.
Speaking of Kirby, the MCU should really get on adapting Machine Man. The light comedy/sarcasm is popular in the movies and the opportunities for toy sales could be huge.

Not. Another. Superheroes. Movie. Please... (and and no more relevant sets of course). The only thing I like so far are the round tiles on the pizza slice that can pass as ancient dwarves (Dwemer for The Elder Scrolls) machinery

That is the least appetizing piece of pizza I've ever seen!

"The piece count listed for 76155 In Arishem's Shadow has to be a mistake, right? To be honest, even though these images leaked quite a while ago I am still surprised a non-Avengers movie got this many sweet sets. I want all of them!"

The piece count is 693.

@kdu2814:
I had known of Rocket Raccoon for years, even if I couldn’t have told you much about him (probably heard the name from one of my college friends). Groot was in one of the LEGO Marvel console games (admittedly, probably because he was going to be in GotG), and struck me as odd enough that I had to look him up. I still can’t tell you anything about the original GotG except that the leader is named something like Rambo Balboa, and there’s a guy made of crystal. The way I’ve heard it, the GotG crew changed significantly over the run of the comics, and the movie cast leans into the most popular iteration, with the original group making a cameo appearance in GotG2.

Comics Yondu was also an original member of the team, although that is of course tweaked in the MCU.

FWIW, comics Starhawk was a pretty interesting character (who has no discernible connection to the MCU version).

No. Just... No.

a big "meh", but I'm not the target market I suppose. Kid not a marvel fan, but with Chloe Zhao at the helm I'm actually excited for this marvel movie for once.

these don't hold a candle to the outgoing Monkie Kid sets so pretty bummed about these actually.

That is a shame, I really wanted a Kit Harrington minifigure and the Black Knight could be a really cool character. Perhaps they will come later? Still, that leaves no excuse for the strange array of duplicates...

Ideally you would have at least 2 of each - 1 in an cheaper set, 1 in a more expensive set - so that you aren't compelled to buy them all. It doesn't seem to be the case here because Gilgamesh and Sprite are in one set each, and that's the only reason I would buy those sets tbh.

@Blockus:
There’s always the SDCC minifigs...

@busyman:
And you’ve pretty much nailed why they _don’t_ do that. Minifigs sell sets. They figured that out about a decade ago, and realized that any set that contains an exclusive minifigs has a more compelling reason for people to buy it.

I've just seen these sets on Lego.com. 76155 In Arishem’s Shadow is 120 Dollars AUD. What the hell Lego? I was expecting 100 dollars at most. In addition, The Rise of Domo is 180 Dollars AUD. I just don't understand these price tags. Even for Australia these are crazy.
