It seems to look that way, yes. Hopefully, though, if this is B:TAS based, then we might see minifigures in system sets. Mr. Freeze isn’t present in the line-up, either, but he would be very cool to get.

*Sad Saw Gererra noises*

I’ve had that, too. I’ve played around with the tightness of the axel and bushing, but haven’t found any obvious remedy. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t.

It is not confirmed. I think we know most of the first half year sets, so if more were to come, they’d likely be in the summer.

I am once again asking for the Exegol Duel. Not taking into account its general reception, it’s strange to think that LEGO has not made the final duel of the main Star Wars saga despite it having been out for nearly four years.

Me, my brother, and a friend bought a set of 36 from a fresh box, emptying the contents of the presumed new box. We got: 1 Wolverine 2 Mr. Knights 2 Hawkeyes 2 Goliaths 3 Beasts 3 Storms 3 Kate Bishops 3 Agathas 3 Werewolf by Nights 3 Moon Knights 3 She-Hulks and 8 Echos. That means either we were extremely unlucky, or 3 full sets are not guaranteed. Or there was some cross-contamination with other boxes, which is the likeliest story.

Breaking news: The Avengers Tower has been cancelled, and will now be replaced with a brick-built Venomized Outrider statue! Also, the price has gone up to $550. (This is a joke, please don’t get any ideas, LEGO).

Unfortunately, there seems to just be too many options and such limited space. We have just a few system sets in the winter/spring release window, and then we get a pretty good sized wave in the summer. However, there is always new material that warrants sets, so it doesn’t seem like we will be getting the years of filling in the gaps like we did in the early 2010s. There’s always the pull between sets based on new material, sets based on things that we have missed, and remakes of things that we have already gotten. Personally, I can list a multitude of sets from all eleven theatrical films that I would still like to see made, and then still more that should/would/could be remade. With all of the shows and games, too, there’s just too much. Then the question of competition comes into play. Do I think Dex’s Diner would sell? Yes, I do. Do I think Dex’s Diner would sell better than a Droid Factory or a remake of Bounty Hunter Pursuit? No, I do not. Would I like all of them? Yes, but that seems unlikely to happen. All that being said, the Naboo Royal Starship and Exegol duel are still at the top of my list.

Hopefully this isn’t too wishlist-y, either, but I think including the concept art versions of the characters would be not only really, really cool, but also a different enough way to get variants of the main characters. This wouldn’t work for every character, and it might not be received too well since the argument could be made that these versions don’t technically fit with the film ones. Luke Starkiller in the Skywalker Saga game gave me (farfetched) hope, though, and even one like Boba from the Holiday Special would be amazing.

I can’t remember if there was an earlier list of set numbers, but 75373, 75377, 75383, 75385, and 75386 are missing from this new list. Then again, there always are some random numbers that are just skipped, so we’ll just have to wait and see. The sets revealed sound mostly good. We get a battle pack, a 4+ set, two midi-scale ships, two buildable droids, two dioramas, and two system sets. That’s a fairly good balance, and aside from another, albeit smaller, buildable R2, they are all mostly new and interesting. Now just to wait and see how well they turn out.

That makes a lot of sense, and is honestly pretty cool if it’s true. I remember watching videos of people’s microscale MOCs of various scenes from the films going through the franchise, and being able to recreate that somewhat would be really neat.

Pictures of the Millennium Falcon holiday set can be found in the usual place, a tiny bit better quality than usual. It’s mainly just the seating area of the Falcon with the bench for dejarik and the hallway entrance. Hopefully it includes the dejarik board, but there is a Life Day feast on the table instead, as well as decorative lights and a tree. Rey finally has a yellow lightsaber, and Finn has a blue one, so that’s neat, though it’s hard to make out their sweaters. Chewie, BB-8, and the Porg are the same. Overall, it’s a cute holiday display piece, but probably not worth $40.

*intro music* LEAKS! in the LEGO community. After months of hearing that CERTAIN MINIFIGURES would be coming in the UCS VENATOR, new intel, in the form of WATERMARKED IMAGES, have been found! While the fans enjoy these PILFERED PICTURES, the LEGO GROUP conspires, determined to find the source of the leak…. *fading violin*

It’s interesting. Not necessarily something that people were asking for, and not something that I will be buying, but I don’t hate it. It still looks like Chewbacca, and I am not quite sure how to do it better at the same scale, That, though, leads to the matter of scale and corresponding price and then back to the question of whether it is warranted and if the set itself wanted. Especially based on the reaction today, this will not be a good seller, not to mention the $200 price tag. I like the use of the lipstick pieces for teeth, though, and it looks like the torso is angled in relation to the legs, which could be neat. Overall, it is not a set I will be buying, but I will enjoy looking at it in the display at the LEGO Store.

I already said this in the Marvel thread, but there may or may not be a leak of the new Marvel CMF. In it, Storm’s hair would be perfect for Livewire. You know, if they decide to include characters other than Batman and Joker.

The CMF looks good. I’m excited to see clearer photos of all of the figures, as well as their accessories. Also, if they ever decide to include anyone other than Batman in Joker in DC sets, then Storm’s hair is perfect for Livewire. Regarding the discussion about preliminary images of the CMF, we have already seen a prelim image before. Unless this was confirmed to be fake and I just did not know, we got a leak of the The LEGO Batman Movie minifigure series in October of 2016 that was a prelim. It included minifigures who were included in the CMF, some who were made but put in sets, and even one who wasn’t made at all, nor in the movie. I’ve attached the image below. If it needs to be removed, please let me know. I’m not sure how it works with almost seven year old leaks.

If it is the E-wing in the third Ahsoka set, hopefully the astromech is the Kenner one.

I believe the set is rumored to come out in late November, and with the way leaks have been recently, it would probably leak in the weeks leading up to its release, if it even leaks at all. I would love to see it sooner, but we’ll probably have to wait until November.

Jay’s Brick Blog has a review up: https://jaysbrickblog.com/reviews/review-lego-75361-spider-tank/ It doesn’t go in-depth into the minifigures, but it’s nice to see someone’s thoughts. Jay did say it feels small for the price, though.

I think the exact words were that the set would not be coming out this year. I’m not sure why LEGO would release it another year, though.

It’s looks like Joey Tribianni’s face from F.R.I.E.N.D.S. to me. Not sure why they’re not using the new Keaton face for any of these sets.

It doesn’t look like a new Han hair piece to me, but definitely a new torso. It’s nice to get the buttoned-up collared shirt that’s specific for this scene when they could have thrown in the regular Han. Speaking of regular Han, technically I think he’s actually ROTJ, since Han in ANH has a V-neck. Also, it looks like Han might have a new face print. His smile is closed-mouth, so it’s either a new print or the one from Solo. Getting Luke with the accurate dark tan hair color is nice, too. EDIT: @web_wex on Instagram (hopefully I’m allowed to say that) has clearer images up of the minifigures. It definitely looks to be the Solo face for Han. I wonder if that will be the norm from now on. The medals look really good, though.

I just tried, and his snout was too long, it wouldn’t allow the helmet to close. Sorry about that.

Vader does have arm printing. FalconFan has some images with him out of the mech.

I forgot these were $16. Weren’t the original Marvel mechs only $8? Twice the price, double the, uh, price, I guess.
