I know. I just said that. But there's only so many sets that Lego can release at a time and you've got 5 different Disney Plus shows competing for a spot in the summer wave. One of those shows might have to take a backseat to make room for the others.

I can definitely see Omega coming in one of the accessory packs if the Bad Batch ends up being a one-and-done theme like Resistance was. The show might be popular enough to get a second season next year but it also has to compete against Boba Fett, Andor, Kenobi and The Mandalorian which are all likely to be higher priorities in regards to merchandise.

Yeah they're the same costumes. I agree we definitely need an Animated Series Cyclops! I wasn't a big fan of the version we got in the 2014 set.

As much as I like the Fox X-Men movies, I can't say I'd be interested in getting any sets based on them. The character designs are just too boring and unimaginative. I'd rather they stick with the comics until the MCU versions come out, especially if the X-Men are based on the 90's Jim Lee costume designs. A return to the Raimi Spider-Man sets would definitely be welcome though.

Glad they're updating the 2012 suit with mask. I too hope we get to see more X-Men sets in the near future.

A few updates from Promo Bricks: 75321 Razor Crest Micro Fighter 75325 (The Book of Boba Fett) 75329 Death Star Trash Compactor 75330 Training on Dagobah

I prefer they go with the blue and yellow look either as an update of 2012's Astonishing outfit with the proper mask or a more serious take on the Tiger Stripe outfit from the Mighty Micros set. Whatever they go with I'm just glad to see another X-Men set coming out. Hopefully it does well enough to warrant more.

The Dark Trooper set sounds great. Its nice to be able to acquire a number of them for an affordable price rather than having a single figure locked behind a massive paywall.

If true its nice to be getting something from the prequel era next year although a little disappointed its more of an EU set and not based on the films themselves (especially AOTC).

Definitely agree a CMF series isn't the place for army building. Unfortunately blister packs aren't an ideal distribution method either due to them being Lego store exclusives. Either you wind up with another 501st Battle Pack situation where they're constantly sold out (usually by scalpers looking to resell them at triple the price) or Lego limits how many copies people can buy which defeats the purpose of army building. Regular battle packs available at all retailers is really the only method for army building that's fair on everybody.

To be honest I'm not expecting to see much more from the Bad Batch. There's only so many sets they can release and I imagine the focus next year will primarily be on Boba Fett, Andor and Kenobi.

That's a lot of sets for Dominion. Can we expect each one to include more Owen and Claire figures to add to our clone armies?

Glad to hear a proper Rhino figure is finally coming. Feels like its long overdue.

I can understand the disappointment. The OT has been so well covered at this point that there aren't many potential new minifigures left they can come up with. The only characters that are still missing are Aunt Beru, Nien Nunb and less notably any named Imperial Officers and Yavin Pilots. Costume variants are down to the Force Ghosts, Bespin Escape Leia and Medical Frigate Luke/Lando. And aside from an Imperial Dignitary the only background characters anyone really still wants are more Cantina and Jabba's Palace aliens. Meanwhile the prequels have a pretty large backlog of missing characters that doesn't look like its going to be filled anytime soon. The Disney Era has its fair share too but due to the interconnected nature of their Disney+ shows isn't as big a deal since many of those characters are likely to show up again in the future.

Curious to see what Yoda's Training turns out to be. A more detailed display piece of the hut built into a tree and the addition of the cave of evil would be a big upgrade to the 2018 set. Not sure what to expect with the Death Star Battle. The duel on Kef Bir would be something new and exciting, especially as we don't really get Sequel Trilogy sets anymore. Another possibility could be a diorama of the trench run from the original film. If its just going to be another playset reenacting the interior scenes from ANH it will be an easy pass since I already have the UCS/MBS version. Bit disappointed we aren't seeing anymore of the downsized sets at affordable price ranges in the new wave.
