FUTURE SETS Spoiler tagged so this page doesn't become an endless wall of text. Most of the sets I'd like to see are ones that haven't been done yet or are overdue for another release. Also a couple others that could benefit from being down scaled. FUTURE MINIFIGURES PREQUEL ERA Still a large backlog of characters that haven't been covered yet - many of which are long overdue for a figure. Things have really slowed down for the prequels in recent years so I'd like to see them take advantage of the few opportunities they have to push out new characters rather than just playing it safe with the figure inclusion like in 75286 General Grievous's Starfighter. ORIGINAL TRILOGY Not a whole lot left to cover. They've been on a roll lately pushing out a lot of fan requested OT characters so I imagine most of this will be released eventually. DISNEY ERA Going to try and limit the number of characters where I can here due to the amount of new content that is coming up. Some of these movies and shows seem unlikely to be revisited but hopefully with the interconnected nature of the Disney Era those missing characters will show up again elsewhere and have a better chance at being made down the road.

Again just going to offer another viewpoint here and remind everyone of last year's Avengers sets where you had minifigures based on: Square Enix (Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Black Widow, AIM Agents) Comic Books (Black Panther, Hawkeye, Rescue, Captain Marvel, MODOK) MCU (Red Skull, Loki, Nick Fury, Mark 2 Armor) Those sets weren't limited to basing their characters on a single source. Why should we expect this year's to be the same? You're not the only one. The X-Mansion would be a dream come true for me. Unfortunately I don't think the timing is quite right at the moment with the X-Men out of the spotlight. Maybe next year they can come up with something for the 30th Anniversary of the 90's Animated Series?

I'm not fond of it either. The current face print just looks too kind and friendly to me. It doesn't really suit Harley as an anti-hero/villain or capture her crazy personality like previous face prints did.

Firefly came out in the Batman vs Poison Ivy mech set a couple years back. But I agree the other villains definitely need to happen.

All the talk about the D2C being the final battle from Endgame still feels like wishful thinking to me. Most of it seems to come down to fans being disappointed we didn't get 20 minifigure variants from the film and hoping they'll all get tossed in one big set together with little regard for the build itself. The only thing that really stands out enough to warrant a large set from the battle is Thanos's ship but I think that has a more realistic chance of being the $150 flagship set for the retail wave (76193) than the $300 D2C. People forget the Square Enix sets weren't based entirely on the video game. They still included an assortment of minifigures based on both the comics (Hawkeye, Black Panther, Captain Marvel, Rescue) and the MCU (Red Skull, Loki, Nick Fury, the Iron Man suits). Just because Korg is based on the MCU doesn't necessarily mean the rest of the set will be. It could simply be because his live action appearance is the one the general public is most familiar with.

I think the existing Zabrak headpiece is fine. I wouldn't want to see Maul's head become completely molded like the Tusken Raider's. As far as the face print goes they really perfected it with the Solo/Crimson Dawn figure and hope they reuse it for the upcoming Clone Wars figure.

I've read the new costume will be fairly close to this concept art:

Including all five members at once seems like a smart move to me. There's no guarantee we'll be seeing much more from the Bad Batch beyond this one set as the line is going to get pretty crowded moving forward with all the upcoming Disney Plus shows in addition to the classic films. Next year alone will see it competing with The Mandalorian, Boba Fett, Andor and Obi-Wan.

Videos of the Imperial Shuttle are starting to pop up. Love how sleek the body looks but the lack of interior space is disappointing and the cockpit has some pretty unsightly gaps when looking down through the windscreen.

The Blackbird didn't even get a retail release in Australia. The only way anyone could get it here was buying it online.

Both of those would be great.

What about Batgirl? We've had figures of her before but never one based specifically on the 60's TV series.

To be honest the compound kind of falls under the wishful thinking category for me. By the time the D2C comes out Endgame will already be 2 years old. Its long enough that the hype for the movie is completely gone yet not long enough that it's able to capitalize on nostalgia either. Plus as a setting the Avengers Compound really isn't that iconic or memorable, especially compared to the Avengers Tower which is the location associated with the team first and foremost. Its hard for me to imagine it would get picked for a D2C before the tower does.

An Imperial battle pack seems redundant to me in a wave that already has the Imperial Transport filling a similar role. I just don't see it happening.

It could be that we don't know the complete line up for Slave I yet. Remember when news first broke about the latest X-Wing we were told only Luke and R2 were included. It was only later we found out Leia and Dodonna were also a part of the set.
