THELEGOBATMAN

They are, but I think they meant the franchise as a whole, not the particular movies releasing this year.

If they are making a Thor: Ragnarok set, I really hope they'll make a Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 one to finally give us an Ego minifigure.

I hope that the D2C is fully based on Dragons Rising — either the Crossroads or the Monastery. We just got a new Ninjago City expansion last year, so I don't think we're getting another one this soon.

LEGO has been really great at keeping leaks at bay the past two years. If they decide not to reveal the sets, it could even be a whole month before we see them. Dream scenario? We get his lightsaber with a longer hilt, two blue bars, and BD-1. Realistic scenario? Regular blue lighstaber and maybe BD-1.

Honestly, this wave sounds fantastic. So much potential! Great to see a LEGO Age of Ultron renaissance. The Battle Pack doesn't sound exciting imo, but the final battle set could be absolutely incredible if done well. Milano is a huge win, if it will be as detailed as the 2021 Benatar then we are in for a treat. Avengers battle also sounds great. Good to see more sets from the original movie. Potted Groot sounds cute and actually interesting unlike most buildable stuff. Surtur set is a dream. Ragnarok is still one of the best MCU movies, and I was really counting on a new set from it. I hope it's based on the final battle and not the opening tho, much more potential minifig-wise.

They did a really weird thing with waves this year. They are so unevenly spread. Winter gets 16 sets (11 sets in January and 5 sets in March), while Summer gets only 6 (all sets in June). Wonder why they did that. Perhaps the fact that all three waves are rumoured to be based on a single season doesn't help and they can only do so much with it.

76286: Milano ($170) 76287: Iron Legion vs. Ultron Bots ($15) 76288: Thor: Ragnarok – Surtur Battle ($25) 76289: 4+ Iron Man (?) Motorcycle ($11) 76290: Avengers Battle ($60) 76291: Avengers: Age of Ultron – Final Battle ($110) 76293: LEGO Marvel Advent Calendar ($45) 76295: 18+ Midiscale Helicarrier ($60) 76296: Potted Groot ($60)

Obviously I'm not talking about the minifigure as a whole, because it's fantastic. I mean strictly the waist cape, which the printing barely resembles.

Don't forget about Evil Venom, who rides regular motorcycles instead of Venomized ones.

I can't understand why LEGO stopped using cloth for waists. A lot of minifigures desperately need them. Since they don't do a lot of dual-moulding, having a waist cape printed only on the front will always look absolutely awful.

Okay, just to be clear — greekbricks_ is not a reliable source. He just reposts leaks from other people, and has no sources of his own. As people have pointed out, he did post fake leaks before. The only thing we know about the Cal Kestis set is the fact that it's an 80€ Death Star playset. That's it. Could it be a conference room without a single named officer? Yeah, but we'll have to wait for someone reliable to confirm it.

I don't think it's a that simply because it's not an 18+ set, and a conference room would be the most boring set possible for kids. What play functions would it even have? Debate about destroying planets with your LEGO® Darth Vader and Imperial Officer minifigures!

Do you guys think that the May Pixar set is based on Inside Out? It would certainly make a lot of sense business-wise, since the sequel is coming out a month after that.

Wow, Fives is ridiculously well detailed. Fantastic minifigure.

So according to @Falconfan1414 75394, the 80€ Cal Kestis set includes Darth Vader and an additional 5–6 minifigures. That set is really intriguing. I wonder whether all of them are the crew and it's a fully Imperial set, or if it includes characters like Luke and Kenobi.

I don't think so. I'll say this — as far as we're concerned, the minifigures for this set (apart from Cal) are unknown. We'll have to wait to hear something from official sources or a reliable leaker.

These seem too weird to not be real. That rumour was fake. It is a Death Star set with Cal Kestis, but the price and minifigures from that rumour were wrong. 75394 is 80€, as per previous price leaks.

Okay but funnily enough, both sound fantastic and like a breath of fresh air for this theme. The second one would be a Day One buy for me.

The Death Star is only 80€, so probably either a playset based on A New Hope shenanigans, or a micrsocale model (but according to the rumours it's a playset).

Am I the only one to think this is genuinely one of the best Star Wars wave ever? We've never seen a wave as insane and ridiculous as this one for a licensed theme. Just the sheer audacity to try something like this makes me already love it. Don't care about Ahsoka, but it's incredible they threw all the requested minifigures in a 40–50€ set. The Dark Millennium Falcon will definitely be one of the strangest LEGO sets ever made, and I'm here for it. The Sarlacc Pit is severly overpriced, but it suggests that Jabba's Sail Barge is the Fall UCS set. The X-Wing and TIE Fighter set wouldn't be interesting if not for the combining feature. It sounds ridiculous, I love it. Finally a new Sith Infiltrator. Love that ship. Jedi Bob's Starfighter is right there with the Dark Millennium Falcon — a set so weird and out of place that you just have to love it. Day One purchase. And a cherry on top — LEGO CAL KESTIS! Finally, my wishes have been fulfilled. Would've preferred an actual set based on one of the video games, but I'll take what I can get.

Sora and Arin really should've gotten suits like these imo. https://www.instagram.com/p/C1nJ7MTrl-x/?igsh=MzY1NDJmNzMyNQ==

Nope, gotta wait until Season 2 of Dragons Rising.

Yeah, could be another Jurassic World case (although I'm fairly sure it won't stay as a yearly theme afterwards).

Well, guess this might be the end. Contrary to prior rumours, no Avatar sets this year. The set numbers have been replaced by Despicable Me 4 set line. FalconFan said on Instagram that this is probably the end for this theme.

I really hope that all the sets are based on The Animated Series. FourStud (CM4Sci) has made a small line of sets based on that, and this is something withing LEGO's range — Batman, Batvehicle, Joker, and some additions. https://www.instagram.com/p/CpkvPZdOS58/?igsh=MzY1NDJmNzMyNQ==
