Unfortunately out of my price range but the build looks great (and it’s huge). Really hoping it well enough to open the door for more non-OT UCS sets in the future.

I’m thinking the monster in the FFH set is just going to be something generic made up by Lego and not from the movie (like the tentacle portal in the first Doctor Strange set)

Personally was really looking forward to the Bionicle set, but looks like it has a low little chance of being funded. Disappointing but given its $100+ for a system set I can see why it doesn’t appeal to most fans. Though I’m guessing this means they won’t pick the theme for the 90th anniversary vote either even if it had the most votes due to being way less popularity than the Classic Castle.

The first one was disqualified after hitting 10k but before the review stage started. I believe due to the designer being a LEGO employee or something. Still a slim chance of being picked though

Mosasaurus is pretty much the main thing I want out of a set (plus Spinosaurus). Though if they do it it will probably be either a) scaled down to the size of the T-Rex/Indominus (I think that’s even about the size actually ones were since the one in JW is scaled up) or b) be a brick built like the T-Rex in 75936.

Probably the best bet would be for him to appear in a “what if?” set if they do more from the series

I did not know about the designer, so that does alleviate some of my grievance with it. For me, I just dislike how 90% of pride month is companies going “we slapped a rainbow on this. buy it.” It’s a practice that just feels disingenuous as a whole even when the intentions do happen to be good.

Gotta love that Rainbow Capitalism Maybe if they donate proceeds to charity, but otherwise it’s just a shameless cash grab.

Surprising that the video game and set licenses are different, since they were allowed to have Stan Lee be a character in LEGO Marvel Super Heroes.

From the Reddit AMA “Marvel came up with the idea for him to be Ron Barney. He already had this appearance.” So it sounds like the Barney fig was originally going to be a generic Daily Bugle employee until Marvel suggested naming him.

Well crap. Maybe someday LEGO will release a realistically available minifig.

A classic suit Spider-Woman still has a possibility of showing up, right? Cause technically she could count as a repeat minifigure since she was a SDCC exclusive.

The Wolf and Ghost are pretty great looking, though the blind boxes pretty much guarantees I won’t watch buy any directly. Will try and pick up those two off Bricklink though. Hopefully this doesn’t become the standard for all blind figures.

Well that’s disappointing. Only 1 out of 35? I was hoping LEGO would be expanding their approval numbers due to the huge increase in projects making it to 10k

Was not expecting Bionicle to make it into the final vote, but it sure is a welcome surprise.

As a life long Bionicle fan, I just want anything related to the original story and care less about the building system. A huge reason Gen 2 fell flat for me was despite being constraction and sharing names as the original wad they rebooted the story and lost the decade of books and comics that the original line had built up. Which IMO made it feel less like Bionicle than it could have. I would be way more than happy getting a system set if that’s what it requires to get the theme to be thrown a bone.

Lets go, Bionicle! I wish we had got one thing this year for the anniversary, but maybe this will hive it one last chance at a set (even if its reg. system). Also chose Rock Raiders and Aquazone. Lots of good themes for a revival set but when there’s the theme “staples” like Classic Space/Pirates/Castle as options, it feels like most of them don’t even have a chance of winning.

This wave looks like a wishlist someone posts here and is then called overly optimistic Mandalore Throne - Buy. The duel sets are great so I like this. Slightly less exciting since we just got S7 Ahsoka last year but still will prob be a good pickup. Troop Transport - Buy. Love the vehicle so this is one of my favorites of the wave. I am very excited for the mortar trooper (now we just need an incinerator trooper). Also a cheaper way to pick up Greef Slave 1 - Pass. Already have the UCS, so I don’t care about this one. The 20th version at least had a character exclusive to it, so this just feels kinda lackluster. Mandalorian Fighter - Buy. Hoping this is the Nightbrother, though a lack of Maul makes that unlikely. And finally, minifig for Katan (and Saxon). Bad Batch Shuttle. - Maybe. This is a maybe for me, mostly depending on how the show is since their appearance in CW was so short. Mostly surprised that they included all five in the set. Gideon’s Cruiser - Maybe. Reserving my judgement on the final set design. Also Gideon is really the only fig I really want from it, so we’ll see. Gunship- Pass . Very disappointed on the price. First prequel UCS in a decade and it’s out of my budget. Meditation Chamber - Maybe. The 18+ tag on this makes me hope for a more intricate/complex build. Hoping it includes the detailed Vader from the Death Star duel set.

I feel like Among Us is unlikely. The game’s popularity is already dwindling (everyone I know who played it religiously a few months back have almost all stopped) and there’s still a long time before it could even start hitting shelves

IMO, if 75309 is the Gunship, that price feels quite high for the ship. Very disappointing, as I voted for it but was expecting it to be $200. But if it is $350, I just can’t justify the purchase. I assume I’m not alone in this, which is a bit worring that it may contribute to lower sales and harm the chance of future prequel-era UCS sets.

I wonder it the 2HY UCS could be a Home One that’s close in size to 75252 (though I believe to exact scale Home One is larger). We have never actually gotten the ship as a set (besides the interior set from 2009), despite it being the flagship of the Rebel fleet.

To be fair, that pretty much sums up everything about the parks in general But ya, Jurassic Park works best if you don’t get too invested in continuity.

Ya, it was some weird choices. 2 IPs w/o any LEGO sets, 1 with a fair amount, and then the most popular licensed theme. Though the announcement says “the characters they'll be based on” so it sounds like it may be more than one winner.

I’m not really much of a Ninjago fan, but I would definitely buy sets from a Nya focused wave. Loved Aqua Raiders and Atlantis as a kid so I’ll take anything to fuel my desire for a new ocean theme. Hoping the water dragon is more of an aquatic, serpent-esque design than a more traditional dragon. Something like the Lagiacrus from Monster Hunter.

Guess the theme ending kills my hope for a Lady E minifig. Maybe they’ll sneak her into a future CMF or something
