    Here's some extra info on the D+ CMF:
    • Scarlet Witch - comes with the power blast pieces in red. She’ll have a dark red cape.
    • White Vision - a Lego book piece the top part is transparent and inside there’s 1x2 tile (most likely a laptop)
    • Monica Rambeau - the helicopter/drone they used to lure Wanda
    • Cloth cape for Spiderman, with Peter’s head
    • Same shield as Sam's for Bucky.
    • No cloth piece for Sylvie.
    • Croki might not even have the crown (possibly printed on)
    • Peggy’s tesseract is not the same as the What If? set. More like two 1x1 plates stuck together.
    • Gamora’s armor will be printed. No actual mold for armor and be disappointed with dual blade as it consist of lightsaber hilt and two ninjago blades.
    • Cap’s wings is consist of old wings piece (flag element) but printed, attached to what seems a new neck bracket piece, where on both ends there is a bar where you can attach 2 LEGO flag elements as the wing tips. And there is a triangular printed tile attached to the neck piece, supposedly redwing.

    Built up and then made some mods to the Lego Creator 3-in-1 Space Mining Mech 31115. I elongated the abdomen area so it's not so squat and gave it a waist swivel (used some upside down building techniques there with headlight pieces and a large turntable) along with ankle tilt.

    I modded the shoulderpads (so they can fold inward) and feet slightly (mostly heel spurs combined with the ankle tilt), and rebuilt the backpack in black (didn't like the original yellow) and made the jet boosters bigger. Also gave it a giant gatling cannon on top and some arm cannons for the left arm. The spinning buzzsaw arm is pretty good as is.

    Oh, and I enlarged the cockpit slightly so it can fit a spaceman figure with the air tank accessory. I haven't given it knee articulation yet so that might be my next upgrade. I really like how this came out!

    You can buy those cards for $16 alone, so the "deal" is saving $6, but then you have to spend $40 at Lego Store.

    Or put another way: if you were going to buy those cards for $16, then buy them at the Lego store so you can get $6 off a $40 purchase.

    My son is accumulating quite the collection of large Lego sets like the Millennium Falcon for example. Can anyone recommend a good display case/shelf/etc for them?

    Those both look cute. I realized during the double points days that the Easter Bunny (that sold out and Lego cancelled my order) was back in stock so ordered one.

    Try Moducase/used double detolf for the large sets, a used Billy with doors for the medium/small size one.

    Poke around on Craigslist or any second hand furniture re-sellers, you're bound to find something that will suit your budget.
