The piece is sticking around, which means it'll be used for it's rightful owner, the fist of vengeance, the protector of the midnight traveller. Landlord to vampires. Lover of catgirls. PTSD giver to Taskmaster. Foe of the cue ball. He is coming. The goblin simply heralds his arrival. Khonshu wills it... THE MOON HAUNTS YOU! Lego, I know you can see this, you gave Brickbob his Babu Frick set. Give me the lineup. Kaine, Daredevil, Moon Knight, Luna Snow. My thoughts- overall pretty positive. Iron Men vs those guys from Overwatch- this is two polybags stuck together with the price doubled, by far the worst set. I'll buy it if it ever hits $10 just for the suits, but those drones are weird. Gauntlet Starfighter vs the Space Force- This is a solid 4+ set, no complaints. Like that it's Cap's turn to solo Thanos instead of Iron Man. Character Actor Alfred Molina takes public transit: AI algo optimization strikes again, trying to pick up those sweet sweet google searches for "spider-man train scene". But the set is good, I like it. I personally won't get it- I have the NWH Raimi figs and don't particularly care about a subway car- but it's a great set and I'm glad they made it. Best Doc Ock arms we've ever had, too. Big Boy battle pack: This is heavily going to depend on how much this set is supposed to cost. For $40-50 it's not a bad set at all, and if I see it for $40 or less I might end up getting it, but we'll see. I could see lego charging something crazy like $70. Eviction Notice: ooo-whee, this is gonna be a tough one to hold out for a sale on. I will- it's not worth $50- but I won the Deli companion set and I'm a fan of MJ and Hobgoblin, so this is definitely on the list once it hits a sale. They both look good- I'd prefer if MJ had the iconic heart shirt, but this one's not bad either. Oh Lawd they Jumpin Him/Norman Osborn gets mugged: Technically speaking, since Venom's build implies this is taking inspiration from the SUMC, the only villain here is Norman. This is a fun set for kids but those buildings are shells- not something I'd want to display. The figure selection is generally weak- Kraven and Goblin being the only new ones of note- but Goblin himself is a standout being the heroic version of Harry from New Ultimate- I'm surprised lego's got their finger on the pulse like that, whoever was asking for that universe's Winter Soldierverine might have a shot now. The Hunt for Raymond Reddington: Oh man. I won't buy this- I can't start collecting the mini UCS marvel ships. But this is damn near perfect. This jet looks INCREDIBLE. Figure selection is whatever- good to get a new quicksilver even if the rest is fairly lackluster- but this is about the build, and oh what a build it is, that thing is amazing.

Villager Santa is great! A good start to the concept of Lego Minecraft advent calanders.

I don't mind this one, not a "must buy" but might be interesting enough to get at some point.

I am not a fan of control+, so will skip this one.

technic 2h 2025 images are out;

Where?

I don't mind this, it might be an interesting build.

Interesting... I was hoping for a 8043 replacement, I guess this is a good start.

The Spider-Man figure in the train set has a new torso, it has battle damage on it

New sets look very nice! I'm glad we're getting some more houses since the January wave didn't have any. Great selection of villagers too.

Interesting that this got a completely flat fender piece shared with the Bronco, I don't think of it as a particularly flat car. Maybe the original fender piece (last seen in red in 2020) wasn't worth bringing back.

The first set came to my mind seeing this is 17101, maybe because of its head.

Only thing seemingly unique about it is what appears to be Cedric with a new face and hair print? Interesting. Maybe we’ll see that again in a 2026 set. also the inclusion of child Luna and what looks like Daphne Greengrass are so similar it’s hard to know it’s not two variant of Luna. This AC and the builds have a very (above averagely) childish look / feel to them overall.

Oh that's awesome then. Overall the set has a couple new pieces and it seems that the skirt piece for the flower is molded in a new color. As far as the price of the set goes I will say that I prefer lego over charging for a set when it has new specialized pieces over what's happening in other themes where sets are a good $30 more than they should be and there's very little effort. Just saw the new advent calender. Overall not a fan. The sweaters are cool, and I'm glad each house gets two, but the builds don't do it for me.

New Animal Crossing sets leaked and we are getting a snail

Excavators do not have electric power Is he still a flagship product?

This is such a stupid end for the theme. Look- it's not a bad set. $100 doesn't even seem like an awful price- not great, but not awful. The real issue is why this set is being made at all- sure, it doesn't look bad, but why is this the singular set we're getting? A mini-UCS from one of the worst received Batman projects? We've landed in batman fully become a theme aimed at adults- I'm telling you, it's not long before this gets thrown into Icons. And they're not even choosing the popular movies anymore. It's only a matter of time before we have an official Bat-nipple suit and BvS Murder Batmobile.

Being completely honest, this calendar has me about 5x as excited as I was for the last one. The last one had only sweater versions of Luke and Leia (pretty uninteresting to get as figures at this point) and other characters that I already had, and heaps and heaps of micro ships, which while cool (especially how they were following the 25 year history of LEGO Star Wars), are the least interesting parts of ACs to me because they don't serve any purpose in my collection beyond December. My favourite parts of ACs are exclusive holiday variants, exclusive non-holiday characters, builds that interact with the figures (like in 2021 and 2023), and buildable droids (especially GONK!!!). This one has an exclusive holiday figure, AN EXCLUSIVE CHARACTER WITH A NEW PIECE YAYAYAY, a C-3PO with reused parts from a set that I didn't want to buy so ALSO YAYAY, some neat little workshop builds that I can either put with Babu and Zorii or my Sandcrawler, a few reused droids that I don't mind getting doubles of, and 13 other droids!!!!! This is quite possibly the 2nd most exciting Star Wars set of the years for me personally, I'm going to have so much fun for this in December. The last calendar was alright, but the ships got a bit boring and they're not super fun once they're build imo. This year, I'm excited for every single day.

Manual Gearbox yayyy! Rejoice! No more of that Control+ nonsense!!

I like the third alternate build - the two towers over the joust area. It looks well proportioned to the size of the set. The primary build itself is not bad but just seems small.

Whoa thats my favorite female vampire yet! It really is a throwback to both Monster Fighters and the CMFs

Official Brickbob Studpants requested lego set. The AC is... interesting. Not sure how to feel about it. On the one hand- new mold in an AC, and I'm counting 4-5 new prints? And a character with Arm Printing? More than the norm. On the other hand.... two minifigures and a microfig? In an AC? That's absurdly low. The harry potter one has eight. EIGHT. And it's not like the repeats are why- most of the calendar figs are repeats anyway. Very double-edged sword- a new mold, but at the expense of the vast majority of the figure count. our first Jawa in what, 7 years? But it's got the sweater so it's not usable as a normal one. (This is a me problem, I just have an affinity for the Jawas) Also- why is this where the sequel presence is coming in? No Kylo or Poe minifigures in half a decade, but god forbid the public is deprived of Babu Frik and a recolored BB unit. (Happy Frik is out there now, of course, but still a weird choice. I wonder if we're getting Anzellens in TMAG sets next year and they moved one up to use for the AC.)
