Anyone got the Skimwing 75576 yet? I'm currently thinking of what to replace the crossbow with. Decent image of Jake with his gun here: https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/jamescameronsavatar/images/3/3e/Skimwing_closeup.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/1000?cb=20220606173614 I think a long SW rifle with a black lightsaber hilt would work, the gun has some wodden detail on the hilt but I can't think of a piece that would work in such a small scale.

I don't want to be a negative nancy, but just because there's 6 supposed sets releasing next year doesn't mean they'll release. Remeber the CCBS Star Wars Super Battle Droid and Walker? Those were in the retailer catalogue and never got released. Still, I do hope there's more. Even tough LEGO definitively missed the mark when to release the sets (and the occasional horrible printing) I do enjoy the overwatch sets.

This is the worst. LEGO has only made the VIP system worse (and more complicated) for customers. The only ones that benefit are LEGO themselves. Shameful.

Without getting into any spoilers, the Endgame sets are really poor. Very inaccurate to the movie, most of the sets feel rehashed. The entrylevel set is 5 dollars more than the Infinity War set and has the same amount of minifigs. I mean just compare the quality difference between the Avengers compound battle and the excellent Sanctum Sanctorum set from Infinity War (that has the same RRP but 400 more pieces) The Iron Man Hall of Armour is obviously for Minifig collectors that just wanna stick Iron Men on rows. It certainly doesn't help essentially all the heroes share the same torso and leg pieces (not really LEGOs fault but still) this wave is an easy pass for me.

One has to wonder, between Mercy's terrible faceprint and Hanzo's missing dragon tattoo, aswell as the general sub-par fuzzy printing that the entire wave has in common, what happened to "Only the best is good enough"?

I have to say I'm really disappointed with both the Genji and Hanzo figure. Both look like crappy third party clone brands, but Hanzo is especially bad with the gray skintone on his torso and complete lack of his biggest trait - his dragon tattoo.

Does anyone know if this theme will be sold by most toy retailers or have a smaller release? Because most online retailers here in Sweden usually have the new wave up on their pages by now but barely no one has overwatch.

Set is called Hulkbuster: Ultron Edition, so its based on Age of Ultron. Comes with a black base and yellow assembly arms. Swapable arm, 26 cm tall, comes with an exclusive Iron Man Minifigure.

Just seen the UCS Hulkbuster, not really liking it. The legs look really small.

You gotta realize how many sets LEGO sells - and how few of them actually have the minifigs removed then returned to store. It's much, MUCH cheaper for LEGO to just send replacement figs those occasions than to come up with and install some kind of anti-theft system in every single set.

So now most of the summer sets are searchable on Bricks & Pieces - however I'm noting that pretty much all interesting pieces are OOS. Stuff like Minifig parts and printed pieces. Is this because someone has already bought everything or does it usually take awhile after the new sets have been released until the parts are available?

Looks like one hefty sticker sheet..

Yeah, I think they're gonna have the Silent Mary destroy it and possibly even killing Barbossa as a way to show how powerful these new ghost pirates actually are.

I wouldn't worry, it seems that its a special ability the ship has, to be able to raise its bow and "chop" other ships in half, and I seriously doubt that LEGO would be able to make a set that 1) has a play-feature where the entire bow raises up 2) has a boat that is that damaged and see-trough while still being structurally sound. I believe we WILL get a full ship!

I've bricklinked some minifigs (and got the Joker Lowrider) and I have to say, wow LEGO has really outdone themselves when it comes to the minifigs in this series. Minifigs like Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy look amazing, so much detail, beatiful print, I'm speechless.
