LEGO Minifigures Marvel Series 2 (71039) Now Officially Listed at LEGO.com

In a thrilling reveal just days ago, LEGO Marvel fans will be happy to know that this next wave of LEGO CMF is now up and listed over at LEGO’s home shopping portal. As expected, the spotlight is now on the eagerly awaited LEGO Minifigures Marvel Series 2 (71039), which takes center stage on LEGO.com. This enchanting sequel to the highly successful LEGO Marvel CMF Series 1 (71031), the LEGO Minifigures Marvel Series 2, has proudly debuted on the virtual aisles of LEGO, firmly establishing its presence in the hearts of aficionados and collectors. Let’s take a quick look at what we can expect from these and of course a whole range of official images as well.

LEGO Minifigures Marvel Series 2 – Marveling at These MCU-Inspired Collectibles

71039 0

This latest LEGO Minifigures Marvel Series 2 boasts an impressive set of 12 LEGO minifigures that highlights some of the exciting series of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The upcoming X-Men ’97 series on Disney+ promises a fresh wave of characters, and the LEGO Minifigures Marvel Series 2 rises to the occasion. Included in Series 2 are legendary mutants like Storm, Beast, and Wolverine, this assortment pays a fitting tribute to the reboot of the classic X-Men animated series.

But that’s not all – this exceptional collection also features beloved characters from other popular streaming sensations, including Moon Knight, She-Hulk, and Hawkeye. The seamless fusion of these diverse MCU personalities within one great CMF collection speaks volumes already.

Unveiling a New Packaging with the LEGO Minifigures Marvel Series 2

I understand that this may not be such good news for ardent collectors, but it looks like LEGO is truly intent to reduce its use of plastics. And unfortunately, we’ll need to eventually say goodbye to that all-too-familiar (and fun) feeler-friendy blind bags. The LEGO Minifigures Marvel Series 2  is the first to introduce a new blind-box cardboard packaging, making it virtually impossible to feel your way to what’s inside. Though this novel packaging concept adds an element of surprise and intrigue, it will definitely cause frustration to most LEGO CMF collectors.

Mark Your Calendar: Availability and Pricing for the LEGO Minifigures Marvel Series 2 (71039)

Get ready to mark your calendars, as September 1 marks the eagerly awaited release date for this exceptional minifigure ensemble. LEGO Marvel fans can grab these 12 remarkable minifigures for $4.99 each. As I’ve mentioned it is literally impossible to know what’s inside these blind boxes if you will consider them individually. But I will update this post once more info comes in that might provide us with the usual clues to know what’s inside – such as their pre-defined placement inside their large sealed boxes.

Check Out These High-Resolution Images

Take a closer look at the 12 characters included in this wave of LEGO Minifigures Marvel Series 2 and let me know which one is at the top of your list.

While you’re at it, you can also read their official product description as seen at LEGO.com. Be sure to check back with LEGO on September 1 or better still, add this new collection to your LEGO wishlist.

lego marvel studios minifigures series 2 71039 2

September 1st marks the release of the LEGO Marvel Studios Minifigures Series 2 as these sought-after minifigures grace the scene. While LEGO seems to stick with its usual CMF at $4.99, this series arrives with a touch of novelty – a new cardboard packaging. Though I admire LEGO’s determination to reduce its plastics, I have to say that I am not a fan of this new packaging. And if this is how LEGO intends to package its future CMFs moving forward, then I guess we’ll have to say goodbye to our feel-your-way days at our local LEGO Stores. There’s literally no telling what you’ll get. Unless LEGO gives us a hint, particularly on how they are placed inside larger boxes.

But in any case, here’s what we can expect to be included in this new LEGO Marvel Studios Minifigures Series 2.

        • Agatha Harkness
        • Moon Knight
        • Mr. Knight
        • Werewolf by Night
        • She-Hulk
        • Hawkeye
        • Kate Bishop
        • Goliath
        • Echo
        • Beast
        • Storm
        • Wolverine
