Renny The Spaceman

From last years Blue leader and this years Luke I think it's safe to say the reason LEGO's ditched the unique santa figures is for just normal exclusive characters

From what I've seen the appeal is Semi-ironic and Semi-serious as the ironic side is attaching all this love and admiration to a minor character and people thus want the figure in the same vein as something like that Bonzai Buddy plush and the other side is that the game he's from was big when it came out, if you were ten when the game first came out you'd be 23 now and as one of the first characters unlocked in the game he is seriously nostalgic and they'd like a physical representation of him. I could very well see him in say a new Rebel fleet trooper battle pack as it seems LEGO's now allergic to giving 4 of the same figure in battle packs along with 2 normal fleet troopers and a Captain (akin to Captain Antilles) Or if the rumours of the new LEGO star wars game being an updated version of the complete Saga I could see him being the pre order figure

This is a very good list, if these were the only LEGO Star Wars figures we got from here on out I'd be alright

where's this been found?

The promo should of just been a Rebel friend figure

Cole's the only figure who crosses locations in the set's, wonder if there's a reason for it or it's just coincidence

They better make Rebel Friend the preorder figure

I really hope not, the old ones were much better.

With the original appearing in both the Snowspeeder and juniors set, does anyone know if the 2018 Rebel pilot helmet has been abandoned?

And that's an equally valid opinion

Once again they never say it's Asia that's just an inference from the casting of Jackie Chan, both of the humans in that scene speak English it very well could just be a curio shop down the road from Finn

The film didn't say he wasn't related to Finn in some way, If they wanted to they could always just retcon that in

Not a big fan of this wave, as said earlier all the sets in the wave apart from Lloyd's Mech and Cole's bike feel really underwhelming. Something I find weird though is Cole doesn't get a stand alone Spinjitzu set or have his incorporated in another set whereas Kai, Jay Etc have both

Some torsos leaked one of which looks a lot like TLNM civilian torsos, it's definitely a stretch but maybe it's from a third Ninjago city?

Nick showed off a bit of the Ninjago short that'll be in the KCA on their Facebook, the animation feels very TLNM and I love it.

Like the Ducktales crew and Frozone Mickey's accessory is just the best

I couldn't agree more, these films are all so consistantly great it'd be a real shame if they went the way of the Dodo while tons of cash grabs with no effort thrive. (I swear if the Playmobile movie does etyer than TLM2 I'm going to riot) From the few facts that escaped the water tower we at the very least know that at least Two characters, a location, the logo and six vehicles had renders and apparently some non-LEGO merch for it had a roadmap for 2020. I doubt they'd be 'steamrolling' these films but if all the merch sales as well as Benny's space squad is seeming to we could see them finish TLBR and maybe get a TLM3 in time

I was referring to when in 2015 WB said the three pillars of their brand were WW, DC and LEGO. Whether you agree or not it was clear that at least for a time WB considered them a 'Big Boy'

So the current head of WB is out and this could be make or break for the LEGOVERSE, either A) The new boss sees the franchises as one of WB's big boys and greenlights a future entry Or B) They see the past two films as proof that they never should of made this one of their "three pillars" and the franchise gets the can 'till 10-15 years down the line we get a TLM3 to capitalise on nostalgia

Something to remember is merch sales are often where the real money is made with animated franchises so even if the film ends with something like 21M there could still be a chance for the franchises future

A smoothie

Then again I think Kids would rather get him than 'generic singer number 3'

Yeah I don't get it, they didn't call him John Mclain they called him Bruce Willis.

In TLM2...

I think I finally get Radiohead
