James Gunn on his Facebook Page also mentioned that more female characters will be represented such as Gamora, Mantis, Nebula, and Elizabeth Debicki’s rumored character Ayesha.

I’m making sure this time around the female characters are more represented in the toy world. Not only Gamora, but Mantis, Nebula, and Elizabeth Debicki’s character as well.

Late night news coming out of Deadline.com is that The LEGO Movie 2 has been pushed back to February 2, 2019. This is the second time the sequel to the highly popular movie has been pushed back with the original release date of May 26, 2017, then to May 18, 2018. There was no reason why Warner Bros. decided to move the movie back along with a couple of other ones but we still have The LEGO Batman Movie and the LEGO Ninjago movie to look forward to in 2017.

There is now a set description for the upcoming LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Doctor Strange’s Sanctum Sanctorum (76060) on Shop@Home. We now know the minifigures that will be included in the set which are Doctor Strange, Baron Karl Mordo, and The Ancient One. The description also mentions the portal beast being in the set which could be Shuma Gorath but it doesn’t directly say.

Although there is an image of the instructions booklet for the set, I would rather wait until the official images come out later to post them. Thanks to Troy for the heads up.
