Came across this: https://www.brickfanatics.com/exclusive-lego-star-wars-ucs-republic-gunship-deep-in-development/ Though to be expected it doesn’t give any real new info (though confirms the design stage wasn’t started before the poll was over)

We finally get our first Lucrehulk after 20 years

I'm hoping for the Prime Earth version in sand blue so the head can be swapped with the City 2020 hammerhead for a New 52 option.

Something that I'd love to see LEGO do would be to use Ninjago to bring back one or two classic villains. Having a season's antagonist be someone like Ogel would be great.

As much as I want a TIE Bomber, I kinda hope 75291 isn't one. $100 for it feels quite steep IMO (though probably what I should realistic expect it to be at).

Hopefully. Though given that this is Hidden Side, he could just be the harbinger of the castle set's boss ghost (the ghost with the mouth stomach that we see on the box art).

Someone mentioned this in the Ninjago thread, but a Kaiju theme would be great (though I guess it’s debatable whether that counts as horror or not). Could have each monster based around different geographical areas to allow for wide variance even in one wave. Ex. one could be an aquatic kaiju while another could be arctic.

Seeing that video of the Indominus set makes me much more excited for the set. The silver print is especially beautiful

Even as someone who's a (fairly) hardcore DC I don't even care about the Snyder Cut, so I highly doubt it has enough widespread appeal to have any impact.

Guess I got hopes up too early than

Since pics of the Hulkbuster and Avengers Tower are showing up, which I believe are also August releases, might we be seeing the rest of SW relatively soon?

At least LEGO hasn’t totally forgotten about us Bionicle fans

While I do think the concept is really neat, I wonder how this will do with younger demographics considering its entry price. Parents might be hesitant to spent $60 on a LEGO set as a gift that has a lot of playability tied up in expansion sets. At least when I was a kid, $60 sets weren’t in the price range for gifts. Though I’m not a parent and don't really know what the average spending amount for LEGO buyers is, so this is just conjecture.

This just made me realize, have we not actually gotten a set of just this, outside of it being part of the two Cloud City builds? Which is surprising, considering it's pretty much the iconic Star Wars scene.

I feel like the Jabba’s palace “controversy” wasn’t actually big enough to impact Lego’s decision making. I hadn’t even heard of it being a thing until super recently when people here referenced it after the fact. Slave Leia, ya that’s something but I could still see them eventually bringing back the fig under the new Huttslayer branding. Especially in a large set aimed at adult collectors, not children.
