The potential for some Bad Batch sets has me interested. Wasn’t a big fan of their arc in CW, but I feel they have good potential to be made more interesting. Also. If we finally get Garindan and he’s exclusive to a $350 set, Im going to be slightly disappointed. Been waiting on him since playing LEGO star wars as a kid and don't want to shell out an arm and a leg for him.

Ya, Van Gough doesn’t look good pixelated. Its recognizable, but loses all the details that make his style so unique.

Finally a good clone head! Isn’t perfect, but with what’s available as existing colors I still think its the best choice. Hopefully we’ll see more variations of this version when we eventually get more clones. Versions with tattoos would be great for characters like Jesse, Fives, Dogma, ect. if LEGO ever decides to give us named Clones outside of the main Commanders/Captains.

Those choices are... lackluster. I guess people who watch Home Alone/Seinfeld but aren’t LEGO fans will make up some of those sales, but the typewriter seems like an odd choice. G1 BIONICLE was one of the more popular themes of its time, as far as I know. Shame that they couldn’t even give us fans this (though I’ll hold out hope a little longer for the small chance they have their own anniversary set planned)

The Bionicle diorama is really the only one in this review that I’m actively hoping will be made. Was never super into system sets as a kid but absolutely loved Bionicles. Hopefully if it does get passed over, its only because LEGO already has something planned for the 20th anniversary. Theres a couple others that if made I’d probably end up buying if I like the end result but nothing that I’d be disappointed about not making it.

The sets themselves don't interest me, but the blind bags look great! Going to have to pick up multiple squids

Agree that Avatar could really use a revival, especially given its recent resurgence in popularity due to Netflix. The two sets we got are... pretty awful.

Don't forget Black Krrsantan and Ren . Doctor Aphra could totally just be added to whatever the next TIE Advance set is and it'd both make sense as an inclusion and be low risk for LEGO since people would buy it anyways unlike making a full set based off the comics (c'mon, Ark Angel) . Though if we ever do somehow miraculous get a Star Wars CMF, it'd be a perfect way to introduce more characters like that.

Great fig. Hopefully getting her here means LEGO is more willing to give up figs from outside the trilogies/shows in the future. There are some great characters that don’t appear in the those that I’d love to eventually see.

Well that was... Unexpected. Of all things, I was not expecting a Galaxy's Edge set. Not sure how I feel about the build itself though. Kinda plain, but maybe that will change with better photos. The Vi minifig on the other hand is amazing, especially that hair piece Wasn't too excited for the AAT at first but having Ahsoka and a 332nd makes it a day 1 buy. The Night Buzzard build also looks great

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.
