  1. Personally I think this line up looks really good with only four I'll be passing on.
  2. I'm more a fan of the fantastical figures - Space, Warrior, Mythical, Horror - especially if it's unlikely we'd ever see them in a "regular" Lego set. Costumes are the exception and I will get a "City" figure it ties in with a personal interest, i.e. martial arts or extreme sports. I'm not at all bothered by how well made the figure is, rather if it clicks with me on a personal level and for me the Beekeeper does not.
  3. I must be in the minority, because I think this is one of the best waves in a while. While I will admit the Beekeeper, two beach people, singer and violin boy are strong passes for me, the rest are all a must buy. The Jungle Warrior and Centaur in particular are damn near perfect in my opinion and convey everything I love about the "warrior" and "mythical" sub groupings. And considering how few mythical we've had in a while (bar the equally amazing Sun Wukong) I'm glad to see them hit it out the park. Also really like the space cop and I think the alien crook is a nice complement.
  4. It's not uncommon for designs like that to be on the nose. Look up Prism Rangers from Disgaea or Featherman from Persona; parodies of Super Sentai/Power Rangers that heavily borrow from the designs. That said, the design does remind me a bit of Chōjin Sentai Jetman and even Viewtiful Joe. I hope we get a full team in future waves. As for the wave as a whole, it's similar to 19 for me - the figures that interest me - Knight, Viking, Pirate, Ranger, all the costumes, Diver and Karate Guy - look amazing, the figures that don't look quite boring and plain. As with 20 I'd have preferred fewer civilian/City figures (shame we didn't get a monster or mythical character like in 19) but on the other hand it means there are fewer for me to seek out.
  5. That would be amazing if so! This may change when I see pictures, but Pea Pod Costume, Knight, Female Pirate, Rocket Fan Girl, Llama Costume, Viking, Red Ranger, Karate Guy (especially if he has nunchaku as per an earlier post) and Green Brick Guy are all a massive yes from me! The rest are either a pass or maybe depending on how it looks.

    LEGO Ninjago 2020

    Ahh, my mistake. Thanks for the correction. I, admittedly, don't follow the show, just the sets and thought "Digiverse" was the name for the current figures. I do have the Gold Kai from a few years ago and wondered if we'd ever get the rest as a gold ninja so great if that is the case. I still hope we get Zane in the current suit some day soon.

    LEGO Ninjago 2020

    I did see the card for "Digitverse Zane" a week or two back, so I was hoping he'd be released at some point (I don't follow the show so I don't know why he was excluded). I was hoping for a second wave of arcade pods for Zane, Cole and Nya but I guess that's not the case. That said, it looks like Digiverse Zane will be gold, rather than white with silver detailing like the one on the card. Granted, that may change with a clearer picture but that does interest me. At first I thought it was going to be a new "Gold Ninja young Wu" figure.

    I was thinking that a few days ago as well, then wondered if Pink Zane WAS the only Zane we'd get. A shame if so, as I prefer to have all of the team in the same suit design. An interesting wave so far. I'll admit, I am disappointed the arcades only cover half the team, which is a shame as I love how the three in this wave looks. I would have personally liked to have seen how Nya, Cole and Zane's would have looked. Perhaps the second half of the year will continue the arcade/game theme so we get arcades for them? I doubt it, but you never know. The collectable weapons for this year look good. I'm liking the fact they're in different colours than usual (including my favourite colour orange) and the controller handles for the buildable weapons are interesting.

    I'm mixed on the full gi suits. If it wasn't for the protruding white detailing at the top of the hood, I'd say they were fine.

    DC Superheroes 2019 - Rumours, Speculation & Discussion

    After seeing the KC Superman costume for the upcoming CW crossover, that is easily the Superman figure I'd want most in this wave, bar perhaps Mon-El.

    DC Superheroes 2019 - Rumours, Speculation & Discussion

    I'm hoping they will, partly so I can get an extra set for my existing Sinestro figure. And it would make sense; why go through all the trouble of making the mould and decal that can easily be used for another figure in the wave but then not use it, especially when Sinestro had both a ring and lantern back when he primarily wore that suit?

    DC Superheroes 2019 - Rumours, Speculation & Discussion

    I know I'm a little late to the party, but this. SO much this, especially Gomek's point. As someone who's sick of Batman for various reasons, my biggest worry had been this wave would be 50 - 75% Batman related which would make this a big turn off for me and potentially wasted potential. The fact we're getting OG Sinestro, another GL (even if it's not Kyle Rayner) with some excellent parts I can extras of to give to the ones I do have and Metamorpho are all massive pluses in my books. Heck, I know next to nothing about Star Girl but will definitely get her. I'm very keen to see how the rest of this wave pans out.

    LEGO Ninjago 2020

    I'd be disappointed if the Avatar form is once again limited to some of the team rather than everyone. Bar the one for Lloyd (which I treat more as a "Gold Ninja" figure), I passed on the Spinjutzu Slam as I couldn't get everyone in their "super form" and it looks like the same could apply for the Avatars next year. I'm very much a "I want to display everyone in this look or have no one" type of collector and the leaked Jay head does look good, so not having everyone is disappointing. I get Nya is the least likely to sell to the target audience (which is annoying as she represents my favourite classical/Greek element) and I'm arguably in the minority for wanting to have everyone but it does mean they'd be a pass for me. As for "Legacy Wave 2", I'd be interested but it does depend on how the suits look. I did like the revamped/remixed suits from wave 1 (though I'll admit I'd have preferred it if Nya's was retconned to be grey rather that crimson, but that's nit picking) and I'd love to see revamped versions of the one from the stone army, nindroid or the tournament waves. However, if they're the exact same suits as wave 1 then they'll be a pass for me.
  14. I do think the general line up is way better and more interesting than all of the recent license waves, and would much rather have three like this next year than one and two licenses. However, about 80% of City figures have never interested me personally. I much prefer seeing costume, historic warrior, monster/horror and mythic figures and while this wave ticks quite a few of those boxes for me, it does lack the historic warrior that I arguably always enjoy seeing the most. I also prefer it when the CMF range is used as a way to make figures we'd never get without a matching theme. Without CMF, I'd have never got a Lego Spartan, Gladiator, Egyptian or Turkish warrior, and they're some of my all time favourites. By contrast, I COULD see each of the City figures in a standard set so even without my general apathy towards them, they don't have the same magic to me personally. However, as I said, I'd take a dozen waves like this than another Disney, Harry Potter or Batman one.
  15. A few too many city figures for my tastes personally, but I love the Knight, Monkey King, Mummy, Bounty Hunter and three costumed figures. The gamer and totally-not-Johnny-Thunder are also maybes for me personally. Depending on how Monkey King and Knight look in the flesh, I may get two so I can make a non-undead version of the Knight and Shaolin Warrior.
