Rolyat24 Posted August 3 Posted August 3 71860 is apparently an anniversary Lloyd’s Titan Mech with 1293 pieces. This seems like an odd choice, since 1) The original set isn’t all that old 2) It’ll be hard to top and 3) Nya and Kai still haven’t gotten a first Titan Mech. I’m hoping it’ll at least be different enough from the original to stand out. Maybe with some of the articulation included in Cole’s. I’d also like to see more than one minifigure, maybe a character from the Ice Chapter. Quote

It might seem weird that we are getting a remake of that set now. But next year it would be 7 years since that set released, and that is the same amount of time as Rise of the Snakes to Legacy. So that makes it's inclusion a lot more justified in my opinion. It's also going have over 400 more parts then the original(that also makes it the largest mech of all time), so that should make it feel like the UCS version of the original. I'm personally quite excited about this, as that set has to be the set that I regret not getting the most from this theme. Also there could be a new Akita minifigure here, and that's especially great as she is very expensive to get now. Quote

You’re right, this does have the potential to be really large and detailed. I’m excited to see another large mech after Cole’s, even if I’d prefer a different character to get one. I would welcome an Akita minifigure, but I don’t want to get my hopes up. For now, I’ll assume just one mech pilot Lloyd and maybe an anniversary fig. Quote
Lyichir Posted August 6 Posted August 6 I would be down for an updated Lloyd's Titan Mech. Even after all the others I still love its streamlined shaping—if they can maintain that while also implementing more recent advances in articulation for large mechs, it could easily be worth the remake.

And here I was thinking "that wasn't THAT long ago" . It's one of my favorite mechs of all time and this sounds like it has the potential to be an upgrade, so I think I'll probably end up picking it up. Edited August 6 by Meaf Quote
AD_Bricks Posted August 21 Posted August 21 What do we think about the description for the anniversary set that appeared a little while ago saying something about connecting to the monastery? Is it mistaken, could it mean the 2019 version, or could we actually have a new one coming out (alongside a Garmadon's dark fortress if that one dubious list that mentioned a monastery is to be believed)?

The description sounds a bit too good to be true, with it being a 447 piece $45 set with 8 minifigures(which are most likely exclusive here). Also I'm not even sure who the original source of this information is. But this might also be real, as some of the set information for this year, also came from unusual places. What I do know is that the sets list with Garmadon's dark fortress is 100% fake. Quote

I know there’s almost no chance of ever getting a dark fortress remake, but wouldn’t that be so cool? The original set was one of my favorites in 2011, but its building techniques and size leave a lot to be desired. Imagine a huge remake with a full interior, rising drawbridge, and more accurate skeleton spider. Maybe I’ll have to moc my own someday. Quote
