I'm surprised you didn't mention the SDCC exclusive Black Suit Spidey minifig, which has caused no symbiote Spider-Man minifigures to be produced in official sets in the past decade. That one really irks me, considering the black suit is such an iconic design and we have no suitable head to put on Venom's body and legs to even make a custom one.
I would put the Spider-Man Noir on it from last year’s sets the eyes aren’t bright white but they work
The most annoying part is that the only thing really exclusive about it is the damn head. It literally uses Venom's torso
Use the noir head. It's not perfect. But it's okay
I personally like using the MM Magneto head
Firestar customs has a custom black head also the magneto head from the mighty micros also works
In my opinion, the single most unacceptable instance of this is the symbiote suit. One of the most iconic suits of all time, as well as one of the most popular both storyline-wise and design-wise, and Lego made it a comic-con suit and has never made another version, when all they would have to do is make a new head print.
100% agree about the Symbiote Suit
Yep
You can order a custom printed real LEGO black head for a couple of bucks :)
@@mickjameson4384 it’s not the same 😔
@@mickjameson4384 where at my guy??
I feel like for a lot of people it wouldn’t be accessible, but it does add to the rarity.
The rarity is way too exteme and really unnecessary, it could be sent in premium minifigure packs with an extremely small chance of getting them, but completely blocking the fig to a really specific time and place is too much
They should honestly switch to those Comic-Con sets they had a few years back. No exclusive parts or figs, but technically it’s own set. It’s still exclusive and collectible, but it doesn’t make any figures or parts straight up unobtainable for most people.
High demand characters shouldn't be cc exclusives, but I really like when they do fun random ones.
*big wheel*
It’s very depressing to think that if you want to have all 3 Spider-Men from NWH, you’ll have to pay around $12,000. I hope a remake of Andrew’s suit will happen.
@@Benjamin088 same applies to Mr Gold, Wolverine, Deadpool, and every other Lego minifigure. If you want to go that route, feel free, but most of us prefer to collect official figures since they are typically worth more over time (especially with licensed ones) and are better quality 99% of the time.
@@PansyPops ok cheers for the notice
@@PansyPops I’m kinda new to lego
@@Benjamin088 we don’t do that here
@@hu45stuff24 I’m now aware
It’s sad to see how much one has to pay to get Tobey, Andrew, and Tom’s Spider-Men. I hate how LEGO doesn’t sell these SDCC figures to the public as those who attend SDCC sell it on the internet for CRAZY prices!
Tobey isn’t an SDCC exclusive, just ebay and BrickLink scalpers artificially hyper inflated his value to over $100 when he isn’t a rare fig at all
Just wanted to say, it really baffles me that they did not make sets based on the ps4 games. They are among the most popular superhero games and would have sold amazingly well.
Yet they made sets for the garbage Avengers game.
@@nofacedgoldfish6216 yeah, and the sets didn’t have anything to do with the game. Besides the mini figs. I hope we get more sets based off video games in general.
@@nofacedgoldfish6216 did they?
@@Randomperson-zt3il Yeah. The newer sets use minifigs based off the game's suits.
I'm surprised you haven't mentioned probably the worst case of a desirable figure being SDCC exclusive: the SDCC 2012 Symbiote suit figure. Not counting the Raimi movie sets, it's been almost a decade since the modern Lego Marvel line and we've never gotten a Symbiote suit beyond the Comic Con exclusive one. I'm actually still shocked that Lego even did this and never made a variant of the Symbiote suit for regular sets, especially within the abundance of Venom/Carnage sets.
I know right
Probably because the symbiote suit represents a peter Parker who is ready to kill. Lego is kid friendly and they probably don't wanna be attached to that sort of thing. Still, this is just my theory. There might be some other reason we aren't aware of.
@@mykitchenmyroutine6682
You ARE aware that Venom is derived from that same symbiote suit that makes people ready to kill, and Carnage is a MASS MURDERER right?
@@mykitchenmyroutine6682 also they made green goblin from the 2002 movie who killed the entire Oscorp board of directors by throwing a bomb that stripped their flesh from bones
@@mykitchenmyroutine6682 One flaw with your logic. LEGO gave us a Carnage minifigure and Carnage is a SERIAL KILLER!!!
I think, as long as the figure releases in some other way, maybe with some different printing, then it's fine to have Comic Con exclusives, unlike Jean Grey or Andrew Garfield's Spider-Man
Exactly, considering the fact that one of the most iconic x men was a comic con exclusive disgusts me
A really good example of what LEGO should be doing is the Arkham Knight Batsuit. That was a figure in a $100 set, from an M rated game, and the set itself was geared towards slightly older LEGO fan due to the electronic parts. Quite a good place for that figure. That's how they should be doing things. Not putting extremely desirable characters in these limited runs.
Only the outfit was from Arkham Knight. That Batmobile was not the AK batmobile.
@@frenchfriedbagel7035 yeah it wasn’t the Arkham Knight Batmobile but it was definitely inspired by that design. It just had a more boxy shape to fit the battery pack and motor
I like the comic con figures to a point. It makes it a promo for going to the event and that’s cool, but the aftermarket is insane. I don’t care if they give up Comic Con figures, I just hope those figures get remade at some point
I'm perfectly fine with Comic Con figures existing. However, when they make much needed characters into exclusives, like Black-Suited Spidey, the Phoenix, and the Collector, then I have an issue.
@@davidchalmers2504 yeah that was kinda what I was tryna say. Black suited Spider-Man should be made again but Deadpool duck really shouldn’t. So figured like Deadpool duck I don’t care about.
Well I don’t like to since I can’t go to San Diego
Yes cancel the mainstream figures everyone wants, and yes do more variants. I would so love to have an Andrew Garfield figure, and a Spider-Man PS 4/5 figure, that’s remade and available for all.
they should literally just do the thing funko does, release comiccon stuff to retail with different packaging, make the packaging for the sdcc one the exclusive thing
Who is going to spend hundreds of dollars to fly there, book a hotel room, and pay for admission just to get a Lego figure? It's only accessible for those who live in the area. It's dumb!
the main downside people say of printing something like a nwh andrew is that it devalues everyone whos got the rare one, but honestly i jsut dont think that matters?? if youve got it theres one of two reasons (or more accurately a mix of the two):
-you want it as an investment
-you want it as spiderman
and like, if youre buying toys as an investment then im sorry but youre putting the money at risk from the market anyway, i dont feel bad if it goes down from a very predictable move by lego. and if you want it as a cool spiderman, and you think its less cool because now everyone has it, yours is still gonna be unique! i dont think its reasonable to expect the character to never be rendered again because it makes you feel less special
at least thats my thoughts. similar answer to you, but not quite the same working. great video as ever :)
Im glad I'm not the only one why comic con figs shouldn't be like this
They will likely redo it as they did the exact thing with that shazam figure
Lego has already done a minifig remake on a comic con figure. The dark knight Batman comic con figure was remade with the same print on a grey torso and release in a common set. But with the Andrew suit they could remake and fix it in many many ways to not damage the exclusivity of the comic con Andrew suit
Thanks for giving my purist custom a cameo 😆
LEGO forgets it's a children's toy.
It's not about being some 1 of 20 exclusive hand-carved McFarlane statue.
If that's what you want then you start a company and focus on that...
It's a toy. At BEST it's a tool for all to enjoy building _"stuff"._
In BOTH cases, rarity or exclusivity is detrimental to the fan base.
The strongest point for this is, as you pointed out, how LEGO doesn't even make any more money from exclusives or rarities when they LEAP to unattainable price.
You completely forgot the biggest Crime lego did with the Comic Con Figure: They made the Comic Symbiote Suit, The Most Popular Variant of Spider-Man, As a Comic Con Figure. We wont see one unless they make a new torso and head. and only the head is exclusive on that comic con figure too. Incredibly sad i wish i could own that suit instead of 10 venoms a year.
i think itd hypocritical for lego to be so high on about “keeping exclusive figures out of expensive sets” when they refuse to fix the market that THEY created with expensive exclusivity.
Everyone that owns a Wolverine minifig is gonna watch the price tumble when the mech set drops. It’s a part of playing the physical stock market that is LEGO…
Remember when Lego made a “collectible” Azog that was later released in a set making the only “collectible” thing the package
Amen! My main issue with Comic-Con is that the vast majority can’t get to San Diego to visit it, much as we would like to, therefore it’s seems cruel to the majority. There should be a figure, but perhaps make it a gift with purchase that week for £250 purchase that way all have a chance. One per vip account.
LEGO needs to publicly release all these figures
I just realised: if you want the Collector, you’re probably a Collector.
LEGO should totally make some sets based on “Halloween”, “Friday The 13th”, “You’re Next”, “Nightmare On Elm Street”, and “Texas Chainsaw Massacre”.
They've already done this for Captain Marvel, the Kree suit was remade in a polybag.
Don’t forget about the Spider-man black and white suit, we keep getting venom but never the suit
i still cant believe that a piece of plastic could cost so much
Yes, cancel it. It is not fair for customers from other countries. Just scrap these exclusives figures in comic con sets. Give stuff that can be bricklinked for the builds, maybe some stickers/printed tiles. And no solo figures.
To be honest, I see two sides to this. On one hand, it's cool that Lego has exclusive convention exclusives. Will I ever get my hands on one? Probably not. But what really annoys me is definitely that. The fact that they are impossible to get. Especially when they do HEAVILY desired figures like Andrew's Spider-Man, Black Suit Spider-Man, the PS4 Spider-Man, Green Arrow (Who I think was from the CW show) and Spider-Woman. And those figures will never be made into actual sets as to not ruin the value of the convention exclusives.
I'd say either stop making them, or make them more accessible. Because when I go to SDCC, I don't go inside. My family just doesn't have the money for it. I'm just walking around the convention center all day.
I would just be happy if they did figures for the Conventions in other countries like London Comic Con so we have half a chance outside of The USA.
The thing about con exclusives is that they're an incentive to get people to go to the event/the Lego booth and in turn, spend money. Like, these events pay Lego to do exclusives, which get people hyped for Lego/whatever it ties in with and more likely to buy Lego in the future. I mean, I saw people say they wouldn't have bothered with DC Fandome if they hadn't done the Supergirl raffle (which I was lucky enough to win, that being the second most valuable thing I own behind the Super7 SDCC She-Ra figure), so it works too.
i mean, i really think that they should've made the sdcc marvel minifigures into polybags instead because we got a polybag electro from tasm2 so why did they make the andrew garfield tasm2 minifigure sdcc exclusive
Dark Phoenix is another…remake needed.
I like the idea of SDCC having niche sort of figures. But you CANNOT do it with stuff that's so central to a mainstream movie. Like the Spider-Man 3 Symbiote, PS4 Spider-Man outfit, etc. It's one thing to make alternate outfits like the Anti-Ock Suit or Future Foundation Suit being SDCC exclusives, because there's a niche that really wants that kind of stuff, not the general audience.
LEGO might care more about aftermarket value now they own Bricklink 🤔
I feel like a decent comic con character would be Stan Lee or Chawick boesman after them passing away,being marvel legends
Luckily bootlegs exist, i have a bootleg black lighting that looks exactly like the comic con version
To me, a Comic Con figure should be something obscure. Either a less common character, or something that Lego wouldn’t do in a set (Deadpool Duck/Cowboy being good examples). The main character from a film series that often gets sets is a good example of a bad CC exclusive. If anything, Spider Man should have been the Toys R Us polybag figure, and Electro should have been the Comic Con one. Because when they inevitably remake the main character, people are less likely to be annoyed
But besides that, it’s a market led price, these figures are only worth what people are willing to pay for them, like art. But that shouldn’t stop Lego being able to remake them at all. Maybe best not to remake them within the first few years of being released, but certainly should be fine after that
Sorry, wrote this before watching the full video. But at least I agree with you 😅
If you're buying into Lego for collectability, profit, and rarity, then you're missing the point. And the fact that Lego encourage and fund this behaviour with the Comic Con stuff is disgusting
People going crazy for these figures makes Lego money, and like every other company Lego loves money more than their fans so yeah. F in the chat.
Is it to much to ask for lego to remake a Jessica drew spider woman figure
@@mykitchenmyroutine6682 They aren't making money off of the rarity. They stopped making the comic con figures after the event, and only the person selling the said figures for thousands of dollars is making the money.
@@mykitchenmyroutine6682 they don't make money off other people selling the sdcc figures tho
@@Bradon_Ray still tho, they shouldn't be making desired figures exclusives.
Buying a whole marvel set
Sewers are inevitable
it's also a shame that the black symbiote spiderman suit or.. I black cat spiderman suit? .. anyway.. black spiderman suit is like 12.000 dollars too.
The symbiote spiderman is another great example of this
Also the Spider-man in the Venom suit, and we know its only gonna get more expensive once spider-man 4 comes out because we know its gonna have Tom holland in the suit (end credits scene)
Well, its gonna be a trilogy, we dont know if venom is IN NEXT MOVIE specifficly that movie, remember Scorpion?
@@marijamarcelic3149 well it looks like their setting up venom it would make the most sense it it could also be scorpion or The Prowler both been introduced into the MCU
$12000 is way overpriced for a Lego Minifigure. $12000 can get you 20 PS5s, and 20 copies of the Spider-Man video game.
One day, it may not be today or tomorrow or in a million years. but a spiderman battle pack type set with Tom Holland , Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire Spiderman with web accessory's and hair pieces.
Completely agree on this. Lego doesn't benefit from making super rare minifgures so there's no reason to make popular characters rare. I'm fine with them doing rare minifgures as long as the overwhelming majority of people who want them being collectors and not just people who want them. The andrew spiderman has always stuck out as a bad convention exclusive because he's the title character of a movie and no way home makes the problem worse. With the spiderman ps4 suit it's the same and they would easily make more money making it a gift with purchase so there is no financial incentive to do it either. My general rule of thumb is if you are going to make a minifigure, do it based on the comics as long as there is some other easily obtainable version to go along side. The dark phoenix always bothered me since we rarely get xmen character and making that a convention exclusive means there are even fewer for the majority of us. Another figure I feel like you should have mentioned was the taskmasters ambush. I know it wasn't a convention exclusive but I think it would have been had it not been for covid and alot of people outside of the states had to pay high prices to get it. That has black widow in the white suit used for most of the promotional art of the movie and red guardian, a key character of the movie. Its lucky that wasn't as hard to find but even still lego had no initial intention of making it easy to find. I also think they should just do the little sets they do for both dc, star wars and marvel where none of the figures are exclusive but you have something to represent a movie you like. Nobody benefits from convention exlusives except the lucky few who get to go and lego should be enjoyed by the masses.
Didn't they also make Symbiote Spider-Man for ComicCon once? I think that one was the worst case of this problem
I feel like the collector (the marvel minifig) example that you gave demonstrates exactly how i would want comic con figures to work: like a version of electro/lizard for the sdcc for no way home; you don’t need that figure to have that character.
Dude it's been almost ten years and symbiote Spidey hasn't been in a single set because of this exact reason.
Damn if yall want a Andrew Garfield mini figure so much just get a 3rd party or a bootleg
They've already remade the Dark Knight/Dark Knight Rises Batman twice, the first of these remakes even using the Comic Con print just weirdly enough on the wrong coloured body. Hell even the rare Symbiote suit just reused the Venom torso. There's also the fact that people are more likely to buy unofficial products to fill the void, be they custom prints on official Lego or just straight up knockoffs
Plus with how much Lego printing has evolved in the years since the Andrew figure came out chances are the print will be wildly different.
I'm still hoping Lego don't care about the desirability of the original rare figure and just release a remake for us peasants. They did it at the London Leicester Square store. For the opening of the store, they made a limited edition Lester figure that only had 250 released (I think). Then years later, they just decided to release a polybag and keyring of the figure that's able to be bought by anyone who comes to the store
The one that pisses me off the most is the symbiote spider-man figure, it's such a classic design but it goes for so much when it shouldn't it's just a repaint of the spider-man head with the eyes being all white and venom parts for everything else
I legit have a collection of customs because these comic con exclusives are ridiculously expensive, only the best is good enough I suppose
Nah, even the TASM2 and PS4 suit aren’t as bad as the biggest offender of all.
THE ONLY GOD DAMN MINIFIGURE OF THE BLACK SYMBIOTE SUIT IN EXISTENCE IS A COMIC-CON EXCLUSIVE.
Pretty sure lego loves the inflated prices of rare figures.. since the designers often get copies of the figures they want.. my guess is a bunch of lego designers have sold their figures for the huge bonuses.
Every toy designer cares about aftermarket value!
Y'all are gonna flip your shit when the next mainline Batman film has him wearing the Zur-En-Arrh suit as his main outfit.
I think lego should of definitely not put Andrew's spider-man and ps4 spider-man as a comic con exclusive, because for me I love getting different types of spiderman but I can't get these ones, also symbiote spiderman should not have been a comic con exclusive
I was talking about this with my mate, and to Lego we were saying it doesn’t really matter as they’re not making money on it. We were mainly talking about the tobey suit really. He was saying they wouldn’t remake it as it’s worth too much money at the moment. But what I said was as Lego aren’t earning any money from it right now they might make it so they can make a mint on the hype?
yeah i agree, i feel like rarity should be for more obscure variants of spider-man suits or even just different spider people like when uncle ben becomes spiderman, i think it’s lame to have the main box art hero of a huge movie
I like how TommyCBricks never disappointed us on his mission to clean up RUclips, we are with you in this journey.
wait he's dj cook
Tbh I have lost hope. I don’t think there is gonna be a no way home wave
$12,000 lego pieces only serve to verify the proverb of a fool and his money are soon parted.
I just think exclusive minifigures of this degree are dumb. I don't mind figures being rare or hard to get but comic con figures make it impossible and it sucks, there's already figures that cost to damn much from normal sets everyone could get so I think comic con figs are a stupid idea and they just make it so well never get a version of it for cheap or atleast one that looks like crap in comparison.
Drink a full cup everytime you hear the word "comic con"
These Comic Con exclusives are cool but but it shouldn’t mean there should only be THE only figure. I doubt we’ll ever see a Symbiote Spidey in a set which is sad to see too
Like Batman of Planet X makes sense .. but the dark knight Batman they made I’m so happy they’ve made like 3 official versions
There you go
...i've always thought that the SDCC exclusives should be characters that generally would never get a minifigure because of their obscurity and most likely would never get another figure again...like maybe Firelord...or a version of a character that will likely never be recreated because they've been in their current form for so long...
...classic purple suit Hawkeye would be a perfect example...
i think they should be the same figures with different packaging. A Comic con figure with exclusive packaging (obviously saying comic con on it), etc. and then release another with simpler packaging like a polybag package as a LEGO store exclusive thats available.
i honestly think they should be ended as a whole, make exclusive sets like the aquaman or star wars celebration sets but NO exclusive figures at all, it’s just unfair for people who can’t attend comic con
No, because they’re great
Lego needs to stop making main versions of characters from specific types of popular media comic con exclusive, it’s ridiculous and is not something a company like Funko would do, it’s like if Funko made a ninjago set of vinyl figures and decided to make the green ninja exclusive to an event limited to a few pieces.
Wait, $12,000 for a Lego figure? Damn I paid less for my comic Con exclusive mighty mug Spider-Man.
I feel like they would do this because they put the exclusive minifigure from 350 dollar ucs gunship in a 15 dollar set
I have never been to comic con disappointingly
Something funny that Lego could've done for Spiderman ps4 would be a Minifigure set with a lot of the costumes (i.e ghost spider and others)
I have to agree. The Comic-Con minifigs are too overpriced to be obtainable by nearly anyone on the aftermarket, and if No Way Home sets are ever made given that film's success and good quality, then the Andrew Suit should be remade with more detailed printing and dual-molded legs, which LEGO pulled off with Supreme Sorcerer Spider-Man in the Marvel CMF. As for the Anti-Ock suit, LEGO at least produced a similar-looking figure in the 2021 Spider-Lair, making it a good minifig in an overall bad set that I own.
I don’t see the problem at redesigning and releasing a minifigure. They did have the concept art Boba as an exclusive and remade that fig with the Encyclopaedia
It’s disappointing cause there so expensive to get and even if you get a new one it’s still 200 dollars witch is a lot for 1 mini figure they’re good figures but some lack of printing and for something that’s 200 dollars the mini figure isn’t so detailed and I mean now all the comic con ones are like so expensive
I really want the PS4 and Black suit Minifigures, but I wouldn't pay more than $50 for them. It's ridiculous
It’s San Diego. San diago is where Ron burgundy lives!
I care more about a black suit being rereleased, but hey, anything we get is better than nothing.
Ima just buy some knock off spiderman Andrew Garfield suit lol
I think they should stick to making comic con exclusives if they’re like silly ones
Not iconic/default
For example if they made a Spider-Man ps4 advanced suit but maybe the glossy edition or something..
or the punk suit Spider-Man .. very few collectors would “fight” for that
I mean, lego made multiple versions and relreases of the christian bale dark knight batman minifigure which was the SDCC 2011 exclusive, so they could probably make a new version and just alter it
Watch them make the next comic con figure a Tobey Maguire suit lmao
I generally don't vibe with "exclusive" figs like some I get the gold c-3po etc which are cool novelties but when there's a random variant of a fig only released in one expensive set then I just think its unfair on minifig collectors and the same applies to the comic con exclusives little plastic toys shouldn't be worth 12,000 just cause lego didn't put it in other sets.
Just a heads up it’s San Diego just to fix your tag to get more attention in the algorithm. Great video
Man I would really love if lego did a PS4 Spider-Man set with spidey fighting Mr negative
I think it’s the same thing with the Lego Star Wars comic con sets as it’s incredibly hard to get hold of one for some what of an adorable price and to add on to that I live in the uk so it increases the price of the sets as well
if they dont give us the full suit with no lab coat i will be very upset and do a crime.
The comic con figs are cool but the general public can't access them easily, so why do a figure once at comic con and never produce it again? they're not gonna get any money from people selling it on the after market
Lego just really doesn’t care about their customers even a little bit
Honestly I think exclusive Lego figures like this should just be abolished
Or at the very least, re-release the exclusives way later
