    LEGO Ninjago 2024 Rumours and Discussion

    Didn't think of it that way. If he really is the overarching villain of DR, then yes, it would be better for later on. Who knows right now though. I was counting Tox in that number, since counting her and the general gives us 2/5 so far. The thing with Cinder is that it would be confusing to me to have a villain group that is all elemental masters, but also have another evil elemental master that isn't part of that group involved in the story. Just seems like a strange choice. Honestly, it doesn't make sense either way, unless he's related to one of them or something.

    Yeah, I'm surprised that not many people are talking about this. This is the same site that gave us accurate descriptions of the march sets before they were revealed, especially with the figure selection. The description of the Tournament Arena sounds awesome, two dueling platforms with traps, and a statue of a mysterious Master Wu looking character. Could it be the person in the secret book in the Dragon Stone Shrine? Maybe he was the original master of the shadow dojo. Cole's mech is supposed to use the ornithopter wings for swords, which speaks to how large this mech is. Finally, a new piece is used for the 'spectral forms' of the other source dragons, as well as the dragon having a 'throne' and 'gong'. Maybe a good counterpart of the gong of shattering? I suspect Tox is not actually Tox, but a new master of poison.I also suspect the 'general' in the combo vehicle is another one of the forbidden five, with the other two/three (is Cinder one of them?) in Cole's mech. The biggest bummer is no mention of Ra's master in the dragon. That was one of the coolest parts of the original description to me. I hope this is an error and he's still in there, but I guess we're still getting plenty of new villains in this wave.

    2024 Space sets

    Was waiting to see the official price before saying anything, because the rumored $35 sounded suspiciously cheap, but the target listing confirms it! This set looks fantastic, I like how it's trying to be a complete living space, which is definitely something the big base was missing. That fact becomes even better given that the sets are meant to combine, so you can add the living quarters to the base. I also really like the rock/plant column in the center, it really makes it seem like the lab was built around this specimen in order to study it better. The little alien in the space outfit is adorable, and I like the inclusion of the wheelchair compatible space scooter! My biggest gripe is the repetition of the pilot commander from the $20 set, but if you swap out the arms, hand, and head and give her the helmet from the alien buddy, you can make a generic pilot, so that's what I'm going to be doing with the set. At $35. this is pretty much a mast-have for me!

    Marvel Superheroes 2024 - Rumors & Discussion

    Yeah, the whole Batman Bike minifig rumor is a misinterpretation of FalconFan's (now deleted) Instagram post that said 'includes figure', referring to the brickbuilt figure. Since the post is gone now, it's easy to say that it said 'minifigure' but that's not what it meant.

    Ras is still using the Mallet of Shattering, (now with trans red instead of trans light blue) which tells me that the current villain faction continues into the summer. Otherwise, why would the mallet matter? Also, like others have said, the red ties him closer to the blood moon and gong of shattering than before, which would line up with the description of 'Ra's master' as the figure on the gong. The toe detailing matches the details on the January outfit, while the crescent shape kneepads are present on Cinder and Jordana, which would make sense if these were still the same villain faction. The stickers in the shadow dojo show the wolf mask warriors with red eyes and teeth, so maybe those stickers are a teaser for the summer?

    I have to agree that the new Ras looks pretty sick, but... I was fine with the January fig not having printed arms (he's wearing a robe with sleeves) but this fig absolutely should have had them. He's literally shirtless, and it would look so good with the red striping on the torso and the head! Worst part is, unlike with the January figure, you can't just reuse the season 1 arms, since the stripes have changed color. But like others have said, I'm wondering if the wolf warriors are changing too. Maybe using red for the eyes/wrap instead of dark azure?

    Oh man, the Shadow Dojo is hands down my favorite Ninjago set this year. The sense of scale is fantastic, and the colors work so well together. The arena is great to have, especially with the clear parts to pose minifigs on. I'm just so glad to get a great, large villain lair. It also has plenty of minifigs for the price, including all of the main villains! Fantastic, I'll definitely pick this up at some point. Arin's buggy doesn't do it for me. It's overpriced, messy in terms of the colors (yellowish orange, dark blue, sand green interior, and the very obvious purple technic parts? bleh) and the 'spoiler' with the technic parts in the back just make it look hollow to me. On top of that, it's at least $10 overpriced, maybe $15 or $20 if we factor in the parts count. I still really like young Riyu, cute small dragon. Dragonstone temple still looks very overpriced, and the interior is very cramped honestly. I feel better about Kai's mech than before, but the lack of elbows and spindly technic arms still kill it for me, on top of it looking pretty small for $70. Overall, I'll probably pick up young Riyu and the Shadow Dojo. The rest is pretty meh.

    The first descriptions did give me a different picture than this, but the later ones where pretty close honestly. The set does look really nice, but I definitely don't see $120 here. For the size I would honestly say $80, but given the parts count and density I guess $100 would make sense? But even at that price I still wouldn't buy it. I just hope the Shadow Dojo is a better deal than this.

    I think when they said that, they were referencing the fact that although every OG ninja may not appear in every season/arc, we will still get minifigs of their outfits. Of course, I also assumed they meant Sora and Arin, but that was the main point of that statement.

    We haven't seen how long the ponytail is, so we don't know if that's the case. I think it's because a lot of the new parts have been restricted to the march wave. The biggest example we have so far is the new wolf blade piece that we see in the 4+ set, while all the January sets use claws or the Pharma's Quest sword instead. They probably used the two waves to split the new parts budget, which means that there are certain parts that could only be used in the March wave and not the January wave, and I suspect Sora's hairpiece was reserved for the March wave.

    LEGO Ninjago 2024 Rumours and Discussion

    I'm also disappointed the outfits are the same. With how Ninjago loves giving the Ninja new suits with every wave, it just seems strange that they refuse to do the same with the main character of their new show. I guess it's intentional so that the characters remain easily identifiable, like lots of other cartoons do. The new hairpiece for Sora is great though. I don't think the build looks bad either, it's a nice posable cheap dragon build. The limbs look a little stubby, but I would want to see another pose before I judge. It also may be so that Riyu looks young, especially since he's still being called a baby.

    Batman (DC Superheroes) 2024 - Rumors & Discussion

    Lo, can't say I'm terrible surprised by the outcome here. I am glad that DC is getting mechs too though, hopefully (sooner than later) we start getting some cool figures with those. As for the rest of the sets, not expecting much honestly. The idea of a $60 batmobile doesn't thrill me, but maybe there's some kind of side build for Harley or Mr. Freeze. Maybe the 4+ set has some good prints?

    Batman (DC Superheroes) 2024 - Rumors & Discussion

    Yout jest, but it's worth noting the set is labeled as 12+. Usual play sets of that price usually have a smaller age range, and most of the 12+ sets of this price that I can find on Lego.com are display sets, like the mini princess castles. I don't have high hopes for that set.

    Super Mario 2024 - Rumors & Discussion

    Set listing leaks for 2HY, and we have 3 $50 sets with suspiciously low part counts... Sorry to everyone expecting things to change with the retiring sets, but it looks like Lego is sticking with the digi-figs. Given that they are retiring everything, I wonder if this is a 2.0 kind of thing. Very torn if it is, since I'm curious to see what else they could add, but I also don't like the idea of having to re-buy the starter courses for the newest sets to be compatible.

    Eh, we got punisher in the Daily Bugle. He's one of Marvel's most violent and mature characters. I think if we get Deadpool this year, it'll be in the x-mansion. Probably another comic outfit though.
