Earlier today, Marvel Entertainment has released its official trailer for the upcoming animated series “What If…?” slated to stream over at Disney+ next month. In case you missed it, here’s a look at the 2-minute video.
The trailer begins with a very familiar scene from MCU’s initial film, Iron Man, where Tony Stark is faced with the mortal danger caused by his own company’s manufactured weapons. Then out of nowhere, Killmonger appears single-handedly throwing the rogue rocket out of the way and presumably making friends with the future Iron Man.
True to its title, the What If…? series explores the seemingly infinite possibilities of a Marvel cinematic multiverse, told from the perspective of the enigmatic Uatu the Watcher. And for the first time since the release of other MCU and Disney+ series such as WandaVision, Falcon and the Winter Soldier, and Loki, LEGO has revealed its first sets inspired directly by an MCU Disney+ series. We can expect a couple of LEGO Marvel tie-in sets in the likes of the LEGO Marvel Captain Carter & The Hydra Stomper (76201) which is now available for pre-order over at LEGO Shop@Home. And the LEGO Marvel Tony Stark’s Sakaarian Iron Man (76194), slated to be released in August. On top of these sets, we can also expect the arrival of a new LEGO Marvel CMF Series directly inspired by this wave of Disney+ shows. These sets are both scheduled to be released on August 1, with the LEGO Marvel Collectible Minifigures (71031) expected to be officially revealed.
Stay tuned for more updates, and while waiting, let’s continue to enjoy the latest Loki series over at Disney+.
After providing a teaser on its imminent arrival, the LEGO Group has finally unveiled its next LEGO Ideas set. As one of the qualifying product ideas during the Third 2019 LEGO Ideas Review Stage, the LEGO Ideas Seinfeld (21328) set is now officially revealed, with early VIP access slated for July 21, and a general public release on August 1st.
The LEGO Ideas Seinfeld (21328) is a fan-designed tribute (created by LEGO fan designer Brent Waller from Australia) to the iconic 90s show which began on July 5, 1989. It’s pretty neat for LEGO to consider this milestone as the official reveal date for this set. This commemorative set features Jerry Seinfeld’s apartment, a buildable stage for the stand-up comic and a Festivus pole to inspire builders to relive the most classic moments from the series. It comes in at 1,326 pieces and is expected to retail for $79.99 on its launch date.

THAT IS ONE MAGIC LEGO® IDEAS SEINFELD SET
New LEGO ® Ideas Seinfeld set celebrates the iconic sitcom created by Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David
The set is revealed on the anniversary of the first episode of the iconic comedy show – July 5th, 1989
The LEGO Ideas set was designed by LEGO fan Brent Waller, from Brisbane, Australia, and features Jerry’s flat, a stand-up stage, and the five iconic characters
5th July 2021: Fans of classic 90s sitcom Seinfeld can now recreate some of the most iconic scenes from the series with the new LEGO® Ideas Seinfeld set from the LEGO Group. Featuring Jerry Seinfeld’s apartment, a buildable stage for the stand-up comic and a Festivus pole the set inspires builders to relive the most classic moments from the series.
The highly anticipated set was created by LEGO fan Brent Waller, from Brisbane, Australia, via his submission on the LEGO Ideas® platform, a LEGO initiative that takes new ideas that have been imagined and voted for by fans and turn them into reality.
So, whether you want to re-enact the Story of Festivus, the Wallet Scene, or the Fix Up, the set’s intricate props and features transport you directly back to New York in the 90s, enabling you to create your very own Show About Nothing in brick form.
LEGO fan designer, Brent, who is the co-founder of a video games company, loved LEGO as a kid but was re-introduced to it as an adult, and combined with his skill as a 3D artist he set about designing his own LEGO creations – including creating the Seinfeld set. Talking about the design, Brent said, “I loved Seinfeld in the 90s and recently re-watched them all. I thought it was a travesty that a LEGO Seinfeld set didn’t exist so I made an effort to resolve that and make the best rendition of Jerry’s Apartment and the gang that I could. The biggest challenge was trying to cram as much detail from the show into the kitchen, all the cupboards, items in the cupboard, and on the bench-tops. But I am very proud of how it turned out.”
Some of the instantly recognizable features include the kitchen with buildable counter, fridge, microwave, oven, and more; living room with a sofa; tables; an office; a buildable stage for stand-up comedian Jerry and a Festivus pole, collectively inspiring memories of comical moments from the show’s 180 episodes!
The set features 5 minifigures inspired by the iconic main characters and one notable postal worker from the show; Jerry Seinfeld, George Costanza, Cosmo Kramer, Elaine Benes, and Newman are all included decked out in iconic 90s outfits.
Federico Begher, VP of Global Marketing at The LEGO Group commented, “The LEGO Ideas platform is a great way for fans to share their ideas with us and their passion for a particular theme. Not only did Brent have a personal desire to create this build, but other fans also agree and he gained the necessary 10,000 community votes needed for us to consider creating it into a product.
Seinfeld is a classic sitcom and a cultural icon that was huge in the 90s and still stands the test of time today. The combination of the quirky characters and the nostalgia of the show is the perfect fit for LEGO and when we saw the concept we just knew we had to make it. I am so excited to see how this has been brought to life in LEGO form and the attention to detail from the furniture to some of the minifigures accessories.”
LEGO® Ideas Seinfeld set is available for LEGO VIP members from 21st July and for all from LEGO Stores and Lego.com/Seinfeld from 1st August 2021 at the recommended retail price of €79.99 / $79.99 / £69.99
LEGO Malaysia’s online shopping portal has just revealed our next MCU-inspired LEGO set. Based on the upcoming “What If…?” animated series over at Disney+, the LEGO Marvel Captain Carter & The Hydra Stomper (76201) is expected sometime in August. This is the second set based on the upcoming series, the first being Tony Stark’s Sakaarian Iron Man (76194) set currently available at LEGO Shop@Home in the US.
The set clocks in at 343 pieces and will retail for $29.99 once it is available in stores and online. It features a mech build similar to that of the Iron Monger, given a green color scheme. The mech itself is piloted by an alternate version of Steve Rogers and features Captain Carter (presumably a multiverse version of Peggy Carter) and Hydra big boss the Red Skull.

The movable mech is highly posable, allowing kids to twist and turn the mechanical giant as it advances into battle, firing its 2 stud-shooters at Red Skull. This exciting expansion of the Marvel Cinematic Universe provides kids with endless, imaginative, Super Hero play possibilities.

The LEGO Group has just released a teaser via its social media channel hinting at the arrival of the much-awaited LEGO Ideas Seinfeld (21328). As a qualifying product idea during the Third 2019 LEGO Ideas Review Stage, this fan-designed creation is a tribute to the iconic 90s hit comedy TV series that celebrated its 30th anniversary in 2019.
The teaser image features the minifigures of Kramer, George, Jerry, Elaine, and Newman. And since the show’s very first episode was aired on July 5, 1989, it is only fitting that LEGO makes its official reveal this July 5 as well.
The LEGO Ideas Seinfeld (21328) is the second among the three product ideas that eventually made it to the top of the list of the LEGO Ideas Review Team during the Third 2019 LEGO Ideas Review Stage. The LEGO Ideas Typewriter (21327) is already released, and we only have the LEGO Ideas Home Alone McAllister’s House waiting to be announced.
Be sure to stay tuned for more info about our next LEGO Ideas set. I’m pretty sure that we will hear from LEGO soon enough.
After confirming the arrival of the next CMF series via LEGO’s online product catalog, more information is starting to come in prior to its arrival in September. As I’ve also mentioned before, this next Collectible Minifigure series will most likely tie in with the latest MCU-inspired Disney+ series, all brought together in the LEGO Marvel Collectible Minifigures Series (71031).
As reported by Promobricks, the latest word on brick street is that these minifigures will directly refer to the Disney+ MCU series that are currently available on the streaming platform, and one that is scheduled to arrive in August. So heads up if you haven’t seen some of these series yet and wish to avoid any heavy spoilers.
According to sources, these are what to expect from the LEGO CMF Series 71031. Remember that all of these minifigs are said to be based on MCU characters, in contrast to what LEGO offered last year with the LEGO DC Comics CMF (71026). This upcoming series will also include the popular “action element” – a relatively new angled bar that allows for a wide range of dynamic posing for these minifigures
Scarlet Witch
White Vision
Agatha Harkness (in her purple, witch form)
Captain America Sam Wilson (with shield and new wings)
Bucky Barnes (with new printed arm and knife)
Loki (in a trench coat with printed VARIANT at the back)
Throg (with a red cape and Frogjolnir)
Lady Loki
Captain Britain Peggy Carter (with shield and Tessaract)
Zombie Captain America
Star-Lord T’Challa (with a pair of blasters)
Spider-Man Steve Rogers (with new printing and cape)
Gamora (inspired by Thanos and wields a double blade similar to what the Mad Titan used)
I do not want to assume at this point that we are seeing the complete list here since we only have 13 characters as of now, and I feel that there might still be some other characters that are going to be included. Last year’s DC Comics CMF for example offered 16 minifigures, so we can somewhat expect that the LEGO Marvel Collectible Minifigures Series (71031) will follow in the same direction.
So what do you think about this list? Are we to see more MCU characters added to this series? Share your thoughts in the comments below.
Earlier this June, the Japanese online LEGO catalog for 2H 2021 gave us a glimpse of the latest LEGO Star Wars summer 2021 sets that we can expect in August. But as it turned out, this catalog was uploaded a way bit early and was eventually removed from servers only to be replaced by an edited version without the said LEGO Star Wars sets. And thanks to Hoth Bricks, we can now have a closer look at the new and interesting minifigures that goes with this wave.
As shared by Hoth Bricks, it turns out that the building instructions for the LEGO Star Wars The Bad Batch Attack Shuttle (75314) that they received as a review copy, include a page dedicated to these new LEGO Star Wars summer 2021 minifigures.
592 pieces | € 49.99 | Minifigures include Din Djarin in Mandalorian armor, Boba Fett
Imperial Light Cruiser (75315)
1,336 pieces | € 159.99 | Minifigures include Din Djarin in Mandalorian armor, Moff Gideon, Grogu, Cara Dune, Fennec Shand, and a Dark Trooper
The Mandalorian Forge (75319)
258 pieces | € 29.99 | Minifigures include Din Djarin in Mandalorian armor, The Armorer, Paz Vizsla
These sets are yet to appear at LEGO’s home shopping portal but considering that their release is expected to be sometime in August, then they might be making their official appearance at LEGO Shop@Home anytime soon.
After making its debut over at Amazon France last week, LEGO’s home shopping portal has been updated to now include the LEGO Marvel Tony Stark’s Sakaarian Iron Man (76194) set. Inspired by the upcoming Disney+ series Marvel What If…?, this set features an Iron Man Hulkbuster-like armor given a Sakaarian twist.

While the LEGO Ideas 123 Sesame Street (21324) is a cool way to celebrate our childhood nostalgia, chances are, the minifigures that come with it are somewhat tucked away in a collectible minifigure case. Well, that’s understandable considering how exclusive they are to this set. Thankfully, LEGO has also provided an opportunity for us to have a spare Elmo or Cookie Monster minifig in the form of LEGO keychains.
I have to admit that these little accessories managed to fall from my radar, but it’s a good thing that LEGO Shop@Home still has them listed and available over at the LEGO home shopping portal for $6 each. I still hope to see Ernie and Bert given the same dangling treatment, but having a LEGO Elmo and Cookie Monster minifigure always with me wherever I go is still very much welcomed.
