The X-men look incredible, but you'd think they would do some they haven't (other than Beast).
I wonder if the Kang leaks were just some really convincing third-party customs. If so, I'd love to know where I can order one.
If however they were official prototypes meant to release before the lawsuit happened, this wouldn't be the first time when MCU has made a Lego product much less interesting to me.

Glad this series will have the 6 pack boxes again, it’ll make it much easier to get them all
Personal favorites are She-Hulk, Agatha, and Hawkeye
Most of them are quite lame, weird for a first boxed series.
Uh don't you mean Stature @CapnRex101?!
Think the blind boxes are just going to encourage scalpers buying whole boxes and reselling, and others damaging the boxes to try and find the ones they want.
I'd say maybe you could identify by weight since feel will be out, but I think I'd get some funny looks if I went into a store checking minfigs with the small kind of dealers scales you'd need for that...
To be honest, the lineup is a bit disappointing...
Amazing prints though...

They should rename the series "Marvel's Collection of shows you didn't watch".
Absolutely amazing!
I'm actually considering buying a full box.
And I don't really care about the boxes,you guys are acting like it's sadder than the ending of Infinity War or endgame.
These won't last five minutes on shelves. I almost see empty boxes littered everywhere of stores the world over...
Lego is taking a huge risk, and they are betting on the morality of the general public / scalpers. They're going to lose, badly.

Never having purchased one of the six pack boxes could anyone explain in what ways they make collecting a full set easier?

It doesn't, I've seen people getting duplicates within the same box.
They will just be patient.
Gotta love those X-Men! They're definitely my favorite <3
I like the X-men figures, though I feel like Beast would be excellent as a Big-fig instead! Agatha Harkness is nifty, but the rest are not exactly figures I'm clamoring for.
I'm very much a casual Marvel fan, so this series was never going to excite me a whole lot.
I'll definitely pick up Agatha Harkness and Moon Knight because I really liked those characters in the Disney+ shows, but there's not much else here that I'm interested in.
However, I'm really happy for all of the Marvel fans who I'm sure will be excited about these!
Yeah, I like the Moon Knights.

To be fair,some of the shows haven't even came out, and B:I like a lot of the shows,but that's just my opinion.
Kinda wish we had got some more mcu characters and then a separate wave of just X men characters, as I feel theres so many characters missing they could have used, like Golden Scarab, Clea, the Illuminati etc as well as X-men like Gambit, Cyclops, Jean Grey, Iceman, Rogue. Ah well it's better than nothing
I only want Moon Knight, Storm and Beast.
Not really into Marvel stuff besides casual movies and shows, but Storm, Beast, and Wolverine would be fantastic.

Ahem! And cartoons!!
I'm gonna keep saying it. The xmen shouldn't have been in this series. X-men could do it's own series. Let alone all 3 are rumored for the mansion.
I think these boxes stink!
Would it really be too hard to add a prefix of 1-12 on the boxes?
A few years ago, we were desperate to get Jack Skeleton, and some of the staff at Cardiff LEGO store got involved with the 'feels' to make sure we succeeded. I wonder if they'll do the same just for Agatha Harkness?
@GrizBe said:

I doubt scalping is really going to be an issue. These are usually very widely available.
I don't really know who anyone is here aside from Hawkeye and the X-Men.

There is sadly no way to feel the box contents. Also, the LEGO store(s) probably aren't going to open them just to see which is which.
I’m here for Moon Knight and Wolverine.

I’m pretty sure there are two boxes, each containing the same 6, no? That’s how it was for me last time
Yay, lego promoting gambling amongst kids
hell yeah, both Hawkpeople have alternate faceprints. Can't wait to finally complete my middle-aged Luke Skywalker figure using Clint's face.
Does anyone know how many full sets come in a box?
These look incredible! Some more obscure characters but the detail level is off the charts. So happy to see an official Agatha, but not sure why the Darkhold is brown when it's much closer to black in the films. The new molds are amazing!!

It is sadder than My Girl (Wake scene), Titanic (diamond thrown in sea scene) and all Transfomers movies (Michael bay killed my childhood scenes) combined.
I'll be looking to get Agatha, Werewolf, Storm, Beast and maybe Moon Knight, but it'll depend on how much they are on the secondary market.
I'm very disappointed that LEGO has moved to boxes. It could have printed an identifier on the packaging to let you know which was which. The randomness would have been retained for those who wanted that by not looking up the identifying codes while still permitting those seeking particular minifigures to easily get them.
I like 'em. But I'm not a fan of the blind boxes.

Hehehe, to be fair that is something I am feeling is becoming a huge issue for the MCU in general. A content glut, and I haven't watched an MCU series in full since... Ms. Marvel? I saw the start and end of She Hulk but skipped the bulk of the series, and have yet to watch anything from Secret Invasion at all. Loki Season 2 is the only MCU series that really has me interested right now, but that is about it.
I think there is a wider discussion to be had about the streaming strategy of pumping out "content" to fill up the service and how that ties back into the debate over residuals and the ongoing strikes. It is very suspect that so much of streaming figures are kept "behind closed doors" and it suggests more of these big budget IP focused series have been flops than the studios are willing to admit.
In Disney's case I have noticed that Star Wars seems to at least drum up more attention than the MCU stuff does. Clone Wars Season 7, Mandalorian Seasons 1-2, Andor (a freaking Peabody winner!), Visions, Bad Batch, etc. have all been really solid shows though and even the stuff people debate about like Book of Boba Fett, Kenobi or Mando Season 3 are still BUZZ worthy and have people talking. I really feel like the internet as a whole just collectively decided to ignore Secret Invasion completely and it suggests that Marvel has been struggling to keep up with the demand for MOAR CONTENT the C-suite of Disney is asking for. Loki season 2 might right that ship, but until then it feels like the MCU is beginning to play second fiddle in both streaming and even in the box-office.
Other than Guardians Vol 3. the MCU has found itself this year behind Spider-Verse (a better Marvel movie that isn't from Marvel Studios), Mission Impossible, "Barbenheimer", and now Dune 2 looks poised to beat down The Marvels in the box office at the end of the year especially since Dune has locked out all the big ticket Imax screens for weeks to prevent The Marvels from squeezing onto them. It doesn't help that the Distinguished Competition slate of "The Flash" and "Blue Beatle" looks even more tepid than Marvel's. I guess the Teenage Mutant Turtles are also comic book superheroes and they look poised with their standalone film to out-do Marvel and DC and their "cinematic universes" as well. I love superhero movies/shows but the rush of content and the need to "always have something" for these "cinematic universes" has really killed the quality lately, and with Spider-Verse and Guardians Vol. 3 being the exceptions to the rule and not the norm now it suggests that the "superhero fatigue" is now here and its very real.
I really want the Agatha to go in my little Agatha collection (Kathryn Hahn is amazing), and she's the only one I want from this season.
I am curious as to how LEGO shops may handle this, because they do pretty well with pre-sorted bags so I'm hoping they would find a way around with these.
Love this series! Really excited to get Agatha Harkness to complete my WandaVision collection! ??
My local toy store sells open ones, so I can choose the few I want, but no way I'm playing TLG sealed mystery box game. I don't like to give my money without knowing what I get in return, I'm weird that way.
They're in boxes?
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

True, but didn't stop people buying up lots of previous series and selling off the most in demand figs for an inflated price.
Virtually every one of these characters seem chosen because of a tie in to Disney's MCU stuff. They're nice but that part of it is kind of a bummer. Wish we could go back to Super Heroes and Star Wars being more open to deep cuts and unusual set/Minifigure choices.
@Ridgeheart said:
"I think I can take or leave the rest. Yes, even Wolverine. If it were the brown costume or the X-Factor costume, I'd love it, but we've seen this one before. The other characters are... certainly there!"
The brown costume appeared in 76022 ... and immediately became my favorite minifigure.
Beast is easily my favorite minifig of this CMF series. And the Sentinel head is by far the best "accessory" (ok, maybe Pizza Dog is close).
Beast looks fantastic, while Moon Knight is the classic example of how a figure can have too much detail.
The Beast and Wolverine do concern me that when we inevitably get more of the X-Men, they're all going to be wearing those ridiculous pants on the outside of their costumes. I know that's what most of them look like, so it's pointless arguing. But still. Please don't.
I agree with the folks asking for a dedicated X-Men CMF series, but heck, I could even imagine a straight up Wolverine series, a la two The Batman Movie series:
Series One
- Original costume Wolverine (with whiskers)
- Giant Size X-Men Wolverine
- Brown costume Wolverine
- Weapon X (BWS version)
- Patch
- Logan (white tank top, leather jacket, jeans, cowboy boots)
- Kitty Pride
- Colossus
- Phoenix (Jean Grey)
- Sabretooth
- Silver Samurai
- Wendigo
Series Two
- X-Men '97 Wolverine
- New X-Men Wolverine
- Astonishing X-Men Wolverine
- X-Force Wolverine
- Age of Apocalypse Wolverine
- Ultimate Wolverine
- Jubilee
- Maverick
- X-23
- Lady Deathstrike
- Omega Red
- Mr. Sinister (?)

guess it depends how many figures there are in a box. currently it's 36, which usually means 3 sets. I guess it depends how big the boxes are!
Will the pieces be loose inside the cardboard packaging or in a bag? If so, the bag should be paper not plastic. Otherwise why change to cardboard packaging and put the Lego pieces in a plastic bag?
Nice Minifigures!
Unfortunately, CMF going to boxes means I won't be buying any anymore. I had only a negative experience with the Vidiyo mystery boxes (all 4 that I bought were the same figure, and not one of the ones I wanted). My income isn't unlimited so it's not worth it to me to gamble on what I'm buying. It makes me a little sad because my family had fun tracking down and feeling for the ones we wanted, and so I'm more bummed about that experience ending rather than not getting more CMF.
These are all from the Marvel Studios TV series on Disney+, like the first series.
Better diversity of characters here (Series 1 had 4 characters with Captain America shields).
Could've bumped up the number to 16 figures with characters like Daredevil and Frogman.
Very happy to get a She-Hulk figure. That was my favourite Disney+ Marvel show.
I don’t really care for much of the superheroes stuff, but there’s some great fig parts and accessories in here!!
I think I only want Hawkeye, Bishop, and Moon Knight. I'm not going to bother talking about the switch to boxes too much aside from I agree that it would be nice to have codes again. I'll see if my used Lego store will open boxes and what they'll charge. If they don't, I'll probably only pick up one blind box if that. I don't want to get stuck with figures that have zero useful parts like Werewolf, Beast, or She-Hulk.
It's nice getting the 3L bars in silver and the new bow elements though!

The original leaker mistook Goliath for Kang.
not bad the 1st one was better...

All the stuff."
I agree with most everything you said. They are oversaturating the market with content trying to keep audiences when there's plenty to go around. Quality over quantity is what Disney needs to learn.
Kinda wish they included more zombie versions of character. That Scarlet Witch or Iron Man would’ve been awesome!
I undetstand why LEGO has switched to cardboard boxes. The Mylar bags that they've used until now are completely unrecyclable as Mylar is made of thin aluminum bonded to plastic sheeting. The inability to feel the design will be a serious impediment to finding them all without a ton of doubles, though.
I’m not too impressed with the line up, but I still preordered a set so I don’t have to rummage through the boxes. I actually forgot they were going to boxes so that will be no fun in the future. Looks like me grabbing duplicates for army building is a thing of the past then. I refuse to play their blind bag game.
With that said, I think Agatha is a win. The rest have good prints, but I don’t know who a lot are.
They forgot Kang!!!
Love to get a “Beast” and the new storm and wolverine look very good, but a missed opportunity to include more Xmen members like : prof X, Rogue, Colossus, Nightcrawler or even some villains ( other then Magneto ) like: Apocalypse, Sabretooth, Mister Sinister, Mystigue or Juggernaut.
Maybe in the leaked X-mansion or X-Jet?
Also love Moon knight!
@ozbrickcreator said:
"They forgot Kang!!!"
No, they didn't. Jonathan Majors, the actor who plays Kang is having legal trouble. So, like the Flash movie tie-in set with the 1989 Batmobile, they thus decided not to make him. (at least, as far as we know that's what happened...)

"Oh yeah, right. Boxes! Pitchforks and torches! Sorry, I just don't care. I've been buying the CMFs I want by the box since 2015, so I can't say this hurts me on a personal level.

Oh, you are adorable. As if this wouldn't mean that every store in the world wouldn't immediately be stuck with dozens of unshiftable Echoes (and nothing else)."
That’s not how retail works. Even if LEGO had identifying codes on each box, the SKU would be the same for the entire series. Large retailers like Walmart and Argos/Sainsbury’s would have no clue that only the dregs of the series were left. You and I would know and small ‘mom and pop’ toy shops would know it too, but the retail giants wouldn’t and they’re all LEGO cares about. No one at those behemoths would connect the existence of the codes together with the shelf-warmers of the series.
I wonder if not being able to feel the bags will cause a significant drop in sales or if people will buy more trying to get the ones they want. For me, I'll probably buy a few but may just pay a little more and buy them opened so I get what I want.

I actually don’t think that’s at all the reasoning, but I don’t know for sure.
I like the X-Men minifgures, but the rest are skippable due to how disappointing their associated Disney+ shows were. The whole series (and future collectible minifigure series) will be a skip for me due to the boxes. I already stopped collecting the Mario character packs because of this issue.

A picture was floating around of a really good looking Kang figure. It may've been an unlicensed third-party figure, but the fact that MCU Goliath has (as far as I can tell) never appeared in his suit and the fact that a Goliath figure like this is something that can be designed pretty quickly from any Ant Man figure, make me wonder.

Well said, I'm with you!
Hopefully one day we’ll get a comics version of Moon Knight, at least Mr. Knight looks similar enough to his comics look
Local stores will put these near checkouts or in a secure zone to stop the inevitable ripping open to see what is inside. I suspect even the retail channels are obligated to carry them, but if the loss rate is too high we won't see many releases before this packaging style ends up being exclusive to lego stores and online only.
Any word on the multi-packs being available, even then its semi-random what is included.
I've an aftermarket Storm so I'd be stoked to get an "official" one. I missed out on an aftermarket Beast so I'd be stoked to get an "official" one.
Glad to see these things being "random" again which was always the fun for me. I'd buy packs randomly and maybe feel for things at home. Typically, I'd find them at places where I was fairly certain no one was just sitting there feeling all over them. I'd feel weird fondling the packs in the store. But since that is gone now, do I buy two cases from Minifigure Madness? I only really want one case. Could always trade the other I suppose. I don't mind the extras for unique parts as they eventually end up being of use.
Also... if the item is in the store, save for things on consignment and things like books and magazines, it was bought, paid in full. If people steal anything, that loss isn't LEGO's, it's the loss of the store that was stolen from.
This is a good direction if they mix it up with more of the comic based designs too. But I can’t imagine moon knight and werewolf by night coming up again….?
A bit underwhelming IMHO with regards to the choice of subjects but the details/prints are marvelous. I'll get both Moon Knights, Agatha, She-Hulk, both Hawkeyes and Goliath.

I suppose it's possible, but it would have to be based off of one of the Disney shows. The Minifigure series have been exclusively based on shows for both series. Assuming they don't cancel Kang altogether, I'm sure we'll get him at some point.

He’ll be in What If+ season 2. Makes sense that Kang was never in this series as all figures are from the TV shows.
Oh, well it's the end of an era for my minifigure collecting with the new packaging. Shame really, but unless some enterprising collector works out how to identify each figure, I literally can't afford to be chasing missing figures or paying exorbitant prices in the second-hand market.
It was a good run and fun whilst it lasted.

Kang never appeared in any of the Marvel TV series (He Who Remains did). So he wasn't forgotten/cancelled. This is the problem with some of these rumours. People believe them to be true, but it never made any sense.
The sad lot of characters (most of these were my grandmother's pen-pals) and new 'screw-the-public' blind boxes combine to make this another bad set.
Boy, Lego is really stinking it up today, bad gunship, bad Xmas sets, bad/mediocre HP n City Advent Calendars.
Lego doesn't want me to spend money this year. Thank you, Lego, for your utterly crappy work!

You'd think that they'd learned their lesson with the Vidiyo line, but alas, apparently not.

Alright, I have to edit my original comment a bit upon reflection.
The HP AC is actually pretty good (but, very expensive). The minifigs are better than I originally believed.
The City AC is mediocre to pretty good. The figs and builds are better on second glance.

It's Goliath. Another picture shows him with a T'Challa StarLord hairpiece. Unless Cassie had a serious trim, it's Goliath. Secondly, these series are solely dedicated to shows. While not irrefutable evidence by itself since Cassie/Stature could show up in a later show, it is additional evidence. I didn't mention this, but the color scheme is way off for it to be her as well.

Aww, I was going to say that. The big "G" on the belt was also kind of a giveaway (also, I guess Goliath shops at the same place as Galactus?), but I just really wanted him to take the bet first. Come on, that cursed crying boy is a classic!"
I missed the G on his belt, but I'm not interested in picking him up so I didn't look at him too closely. Anyway, I'll do my best to not spoil your bets!

Beast is just under 6 foot tall. He doesn't need a bigfig. None of the major X-men characters do, with the exceptions of Colossus and Juggernaut.
Can an X-men fan tell me what the deal is with Storm's microscope accessory?

It's an accessory for Beast.
I like them - I wish there was an Iceman though, since the Daily Bugle set didn't have one.

"Glad this series will have the 6 pack boxes again, it’ll make it much easier to get them all"
Never having purchased one of the six pack boxes could anyone explain in what ways they make collecting a full set easier? "
From my experience, if you are able to get a fresh box before it’s been tampered with they usually have 6 unique figures, so if you buy them when they first come out, you can usually get the whole set, or you’re getting doubles, triples, etc. depending on how many you buy.
Basically the boxes were easy to un-tape and re-tape, so you could identify them by feel and then re-box and return them once you pulled the ones you wanted, but it sucks for the next person who ends up buying the box, unless you got one that was repackaged by a nice person who put the box back properly with different figures.
With these new boxes, that goes out the window so you’ll probably end up with 6 unique on the first box, but every box after that you’re just taking your chances on completing the set or getting multiples.
This sucks. I’m not paying $5 & not knowing who I’m getting. Surprised they didn’t learn their lesson from Vidiyo. We never see saw Series 2 here.
THIS! STINKS!!!! And I'm not even talking about the "mystery box" thing, I'm talking about: DC did the CMFs first, they should get a second set BEFORE 'them'...Never mind Film, TV, and so on; DC has OVER SEVEN DECADES of characters that TLG should totally be mining...I mean: Alan (1st Green Lantern) Scott, Wally (1st Kid Flash) West, Metallo, Booster Gold, Ted (2nd Blue Beetle) Kord, Power Girl, Guy Gardner, Kyle Rayner...*sigh*
AND, here's another thing 'House of Rouse' isn't the only company who's 100 years old this year; so's WB...where's the parity there?
A tragedy that Kamala in her more comic accurate Disney+ costume isn't included
I like 10 out of 12. Don't like the packaging, though. Hopefully LEGO will return to the bags once every single one is opened in the stores.
I can recognize only X-Men. And the green lady.
@xboxtravis7992:
While not really indicative of viewer totals, every article I’ve read says Disney has yet to turn a profit on streaming for the simple reason that their spending has seriously outpaced their subscriptions. This is common across the entire market. Netflix seems to be the only one that is, or was, profitable. That may no longer be the case, given how they seem to axe every show just as soon as it starts to develop an audience. Unless you exclusively watch Stranger Things or feature films, it sounds like everything Netflix is producing gets cancelled on cliffhangers. And everyone else is spending the bank on trying to corner the market.
Want the X-men. Not as bothered by the others.
Kate and Moon Knight seem OK.
Probably get a box or two then bricklink the X-men I don't get.
Storm, Wolverine and Beast are on top of my wishlist, I love that they went with the classis 90's design for their minifigs. Probably going to get Agatha, She-Hulk and maybe Goliath too.
The only thing that has always bugged me about the Wolverine minifigs is that his claws are not aligned correctly in relation to his hands. I wished they'd make a new accessory for that!
I adore this line.

True, but didn't stop people buying up lots of previous series and selling off the most in demand figs for an inflated price."
They could feel and buy only the valuable ones. Which presumably is partly why boxes are coming in.

Beast is just under 6 foot tall. He doesn't need a bigfig. None of the major X-men characters do, with the exceptions of Colossus and Juggernaut."
I'm just saying Beast would look cool as a big fig. It fits his body type. Juggernaut too, that would be awesome. I dunno about Colossus. Not my first thought for him, but I definitely would like to see him as a figure at some point.
The only one I recognize is Wolverine. And I think I've heard the name Storm before. It's been ages since I've seen the first two X-Men movies though.
All I remember is wondering why Captain Picard needed a wheelchair, why Gandalf had lost his staff and cool hair, and where Wesley Crusher was among all those nosy prodigy kids... ;-)
As for this series, no blind bags means no sale for me. And that goes for any CMF series going forward.

"Think the blind boxes are just going to encourage scalpers buying whole boxes and reselling, and others damaging the boxes to try and find the ones they want.
I'd say maybe you could identify by weight since feel will be out, but I think I'd get some funny looks if I went into a store checking minfigs with the small kind of dealers scales you'd need for that..."
I was at the LEGO store at Disney Springs this past winter and I saw a few people with tiny scales weighing the Mario character boxes. None of the employees said anything to them.
Thank you MinifiguresPlus for making complete sets available, as I will not even consider buying CMFs in the new packaging. I remember pre-COVID there was a whole aisle in the Target toy section with blind-box packaging, and dozens of opened boxes scattered through the aisle. I stopped in last week and there was almost nothing packaged that way. Seems to me LEGO is jumping in on this just after the other companies have figured out it is a losing strategy.
Is there official confirmation that it’s Goliath? Seems very random since he’s never appeared in a suit before. Or is it just internet speculation?

I've been to Walmarts recently where the entire Lego aisle was enclosed in plastic cases. It took 15 minutes to get someone to open it. Then, they snarkily said "Well, I guess I don't have to walk you up to the counter for THAT."
I was buying 7 sets of 30651. Needless to say, I won't be shopping at that store again.

It's him. There is also an action figure releasing rocking the same suit labeled Goliath on the packaging.

Ok thanks. I hadn’t seen official confirmation and he hasn’t appeared in any media like that before, so I wasn’t sure. Maybe something upcoming then.
The figures are in boxes because a lot of people complained about oil-based plastic minifigures coming in foil bags which was bad for the environment.

Well, dozens of different species, each with different costumes / uniforms / head moulds / accessories, sounds like a recipe for quite some variety. At least we already got a LEGO Borg:

@Ridgeheart : you might have missed the irony in my comment - and the winking smiley too. ;-p
I'm certainly no expert in superheroes, but I definitely know my way around the X-Men, the only avenue of superheroes I have been following a little more than just in passing. That and the "basics" of course (Superman, Spiderman, Batman).
The boxes are one of Lego's dumbest ideas in a long time. A major factor in the success of the blind packs are the ability to figure out what your buying. Take that away and your going to discourage the primary market and fuel the scalpers. I hope the boxed CMFs bomb and Lego is forced to rethink this decision.

If I was Warner Brothers asking for a 100 Anniversary CMF line, I actually think I would want DC to be minimal in it. Maybe the 1970s Christopher Reeve Superman; but WB stakes a LOT of its reputation on being a "classic cinema" house (if you look at the WB 100 Film list you can see there is a lot of "classics" there, but also a lot of stuff that isn't really in demand for LEGO form). If I were to include DC figures in a "classic WB" lineup I would be careful to reflect moments in the franchise which crossover with "important" cinema and Reeve's work feels like a noticeable gap in LEGO's current homages to superhero films. (Speaking of WB films there are rumors regarding Dune Part 2 and a D2C... but I won't go into that further here other than saying I hope those rumors are true.)
The next thing WB has a reputation for is cartoons as perhaps Disney's only solid competitor there, and there is a lot of opportunity for figures with that. A second wave of Looney Tunes figures would be great, and since WB is the parent company of Cartoon Network/Adult Swim and the Hannah Barbara library as well there is a lot of content there as well to touch on. WB also distributed or owns the rights to films such as The Iron Giant and Cats Don't Dance as well. The return of some of the 90's TV properties lately with Animaniacs 2020-2023 and now Tiny Toons as well seems like there are even more animated characters to draw on. The expanded canon of animation at WB is ripe to draw on, and I think if LEGO really wanted to they could pull more series out of that similar to how they have done for Disney.

I would kill for an official LEGO Iron Giant. Especially if it could transform or have replaceable limbs for his classic-'50s-death-Machine-look from close the finale.
OOOH! What about the train wreck scene? Throw in a add-on set of a NYC streamlined Hudson, and train fans will beat a path to Lego HQ's front door.
The box picture should have included Storm instead of Echo. This Series includes an unprecedented number of duds. Throw in the boxes and it will likely be my least owned.
Great figs, but the X-Men deserve their own series. Then replace the three in this series with Mobius, Red Dagger, and another Ms Marvel character like Kamran or Bruno.
Garbage minifigures to represent garbage series. Quite apt.
And with boxes...yeah, no. I'm not validating LEGO's anti-consumer moved by giving them money for this. I sincerely hope people across the world destroy these boxes wherever they're sold, in such numbers that retailers turn against TLG and start refusing to sell CMF series as long as they remain in these gambling boxes.
Meanwhile, I'll be reaching out to EU legislators for them to take a look at this and, maybe, push for a ban on promoting these things to children. 'cause these are pure gambling.

This isn’t really a good way on LEGOs part to make a solid impact on their contribution to sustainability practices. The cardboard they use, if it’s recycled…it can’t be recycled again. If it isn’t recycled, then they are putting the recycling into the hands of the customer and not taking the initiative. That’s assuming the coating on the cardboard would allow it to be, and I don’t know enough about it to say for sure, would have to research. Point being one can’t just say “Oh, it’s cardboard, we can put it in recycling.” It does not work that way.
Besides…cardboard isn’t necessarily a better solution than foil is, for the planet I mean. Where does cardboard originate from? Wood pulp, which comes from trees. When you produce cardboard anything you make an impact on deforestation. The whole “we can plant more” is a corporate mythology.
Something really great LEGO could do for sustainability but they aren’t doing? Cut their packaging sizes in half. Stop shipping so much air in order to have that “perceived value” to an expensive box. We all know what I’m talking about.
As for CMF? Not sure what the best solution is, and maybe it is cardboard…but it very easily might not be. It’s probably the best solution that doesn’t eat into the profit margin. That’s not a dig at LEGO, that’s just how corporations operate.

The Mario sets have been in boxes, and you've never seen stickers before? You can't feel those.
They were blind bags and now they're blind boxes.
The first CMF series in ages I have no intention of buying, despite the presence of Storm and Wolverine. I think it's because of the absence of interesting accessories--at least as far as I can tell from the pictures.
Then again, having taken a magnifying glass to the last image, I must admit there are some nice accessories, especially the aquarium. But I still don't think I want the whole series. Actually, I don't want any of the minifigures--just a couple of the accessories!

A lot of my interest in CMFs has more to do with the parts than the sum total figure they make up. And while they were blind bags, they were worth picking up just for a part or two. What accessories do you want? The only ones that have really caught my eye are the new bow elements.

Interesting set.... but the blind box is a huge turn off for me. I have probably bought my last CMF. Used to buy the whole series... maybe I will just buy an occasional one from a third party now if I happen to run across it.
I’m not really into Marvel, comics, LEGO, entertainment or fun so these are a pass I’m afraid.

I Said scoot @Brick_R you don't belong in these comments, this is for LEGO Maniacs not anti-LEGO Maniacs.
Why are they now going to be in boxes? Think that's sketchy. Part of the fun of figures was feeling the bags for the figure you wanted, this randomizing of the figures is more profit-centered than anything else. Not a fan.

From my experience, if you are able to get a fresh box before it’s been tampered with they usually have 6 unique figures, so if you buy them when they first come out, you can usually get the whole set, or you’re getting doubles, triples, etc. depending on how many you buy.

Where are you finding actual 6 pack boxes in a store? I can only find them online.
I like them. I would prefer more comic book design over MCU, but most of these could fit both, as much as the comic costumes change now.
Still a comic book wave more like DCs would be nice, 1st appearance Wolverine, Iron Man in the gold version of his first armor, Machine Man, Dr. Druid...
I purchased a digital scale. At the very least I hope to assure that I don't get any duplicates. Here are my really rough estimates in grams (not counting the box, any plastic baggies and leaflet). Once I receive my first box I'll weigh all the extras and add them to my estimates. Here are my estimates so far: Kate Bishop 9.43g; Agatha Harkness 9.17g; Wolverine 7.82g; She-Hulk 7.53g; Hawkeye 7.24g; Mr. Knight 6.38g; Beast 6.33g; Goliath 6.04g; Storm 6.15g; Moon Knight 5.82g; Werewolf by Night 5.56g; Echo 5.5g.
As you can see, some of them are within .05 grams of each other and the digital scales have a +/- or .03g, so I don't know if this will even be possible to identify by weight.
I also can't tell how many extras (studs, accessories) they will include. All that to say, I welcome your input on digital scales...
Lego should offer what baseball, football and basketball trading card companies do. They should allow the consumer to purchase the entire sealed box. That way you are guaranteed a full set. For people who like to buy the occasional pack, offer that also. You can't purchase an entire sealed box from LEGO. I have tried. I used to be able to visit my local LEGO store at Disney Springs in Florida and they would sell me the entire box, minus the box. The last time I went in to purchase the Disney minifigures, the manager said no to buying the entire box. In order to purchase the sealed box, you have to go to third party sellers.
Hmmmmmm
Boxes or bags I don't care. Can feel them anyway. But I stopped buying these. I hate getting doubles.

I Absolutely agree! In a nearby shop i can still buy those Vidiyo series 1 at full price, after all these years!
