That's right, with it being almost two years since the first series, the second LEGO Marvel Minifigure Series will be coming in 2023. Thanks to Brick Clicker on YouTube this has been confirmed after we reported a few days ago that 71039 would be a licensed CMF series. And it turns out this license is a very popular one with many regarding the first series as the best ever Minifigure series.
71039 Marvel Series 2 will follow on from 71038 which will be celebrating 100 years of Disney along with a range of other sets around May 2023. This means once the second Marvel series releases in September 2023, it'll be the third and final series of the year. However, it will be the first LEGO Minifigure Series to be in boxes rather than the usual blind bags.
This threat to the LEGO Minifigure series has been coming for a while but it turns out that LEGO will go ahead with its more sustainable plans. The boxes themselves will be smaller than the LEGO Super Mario Character Pack Boxes but will most likely make it impossible to feel for specific Minifigures. We don't know how this will impact sales or whether LEGO will continue this no matter what fans say...
