    Noooo my pigeon army
  2. SketchBrick
    Looking at this picture now, is the pigeon dual moulded with black and grey? It doesn't even really look like it has printing, just details in black plastic. Not a bad choice, I'm just curious what everyone else sees.
  3. SketchBrick
    So the arctic science truck has two regular grey wolves (nothing new there,) and a puppy recolored from the existing dog pup in tan with white face markings. Also the pigeons look great!

    New snail mould in the Animal Crossing line! It's unprinted, but has a stud on the back for attaching an ice cream swirl (aka poop) piece as the shell 🐌

    Definitely look more fox-like to me, but hopefully we'll get more photos soon

    Shame that it seems we may not get any other notable animals in the summer wave. I guess we'll have to hold our pigeons tightly and wait until next year

    LET'S GOOOOO 🐦

    Maxbautde reports that the Jango figure coming in August won't have arm printing (as present on the May UCS version of the same figure). Definitely a shame for most of us normal fans - hopefully at least the resellers and "muh exclusive figure" types will be kept quiet.
  9. SketchBrick
    I agree wholeheartedly. It does us as fans no good to draw a false equivalence between "secondary market value" and "how much this piece of plastic costs to put in a set". Minifigures in sets should be reasonably valued at about $3-4. Maybe closer to $5 if it's really fancy and uses new moulds. That's what Lego themselves prices them at in most of their basic sets (looking at trends over the past several years, including CMFs, battle packs, BAM stations, etc.) It's 100% on the buyer if they choose to spend hundreds of dollars on a rare figure just because it's desirable to them (*cough* Venator Rex *cough*).

    I'll definitely be getting the Spinosaurus in whatever set includes it! The others look decent though I'm not as bothered about adding them to my collection. I appreciate the detail on the Mosasaurus even if I wish it was moulded - on the plus side it matches nicely with the design of the T-rex from the last 18+ diorama.
  11. SketchBrick
    Excited to finally get a Spino mould, and it looks good! The Mosasaurus looks decent for what it is - I'm not shocked they went with brick-built, given how massive the moulds would have to be compared to existing dinosaurs/animals (though it would have been preferable). The other new dinos look pretty good too, though I'll wait for more set photos to form my final thoughts.
  12. SketchBrick
    I'm really excited to find out what we'll get with these new sets, and I think we're guaranteed to see major new mould(s). Mosasaurus and/or Spino would be huge wins!
  13. SketchBrick
    I would be grateful to see more research on this. It's become increasingly obvious how adult-focused the Star Wars theme is these days, and the lack of "pocket-money" sets compounds this. There are lots of good concepts (including revisiting old ones) that don't have to break the bank, and offer kids and adults alike both fun small builds and popular minifigs.
  14. SketchBrick
    This would be very welcome in my opinion. Even if you had to scale down the builds a touch, or charge $25, a lot of people would love to get 2 cool figures with some fun play potential at an accessible price point. Dooku vs Yoda is an obvious example, but Obi-Wan vs Vader from ANH, Duel on Exegol, etc. could all make cool cheap sets.

    Maaaaybe they'll give us an arctic fox in one of the summer arctic sets this year, which could be recoloured in the future?
  16. SketchBrick
    1) Hard to decide, I'm gonna go with the penguin, sea turtle (both sizes), and new tiger 2) Kangaroo, pigeon, and raccoon! 3) Bring back the flamingo, camel, and mouse please
  17. SketchBrick
    Agreed! Having the new Jango and young Boba available at a cheaper price point is great for everyone (except investors), and hopefully it's a fun toy to boot.

    Clone Wars MTT is said to include Bly, Aayla, and around 10+ B1 battle droids (source: fateful)
  19. SketchBrick
    Definitely disappointed. Unless something comes out of left field, or the 2 large arctic sets unexpectedly introduce several new moulds, we're in for a rough year. I'm surprised we've had 5 straight years of solid summer waves in terms of animal subthemes (ocean, safari, farm, arctic/ocean, jungle), and suddenly there's this gap for no discernable reason. Hopefully something's coming that we just don't know about yet.
  20. SketchBrick
    I absolutely agree. There are SO MANY adult-aimed sets with the buildables, midi scale, dioramas, helmets, etc. We would have a much better opportunity for subtheme balance in playsets if there were more slots freed up for them.
  21. SketchBrick
    Exactly this. This set could be $200 and people would still be lining up on Day 1 because they "need" more clones.
  22. SketchBrick
    2 Galactic Marines included - I'm assuming there are good odds we get Bacara and Ki-Adi-Mundi as well
  23. SketchBrick
    The question is, can we still expect a regular wildlife subtheme outside of these arctic sets (4-6 sets); if so, will the "new mould budget" go to those instead of the 2 arctic sets?
  24. SketchBrick
    What are we at now for buildable figures next year? 4? 5? Absolutely insane.
  25. SketchBrick
    Two big arctic explorer sets for City coming next summer (though according to LMG the other sets are unlikely to be related to arctic). Interested to see what animals they include, and if we'll get any new ones?
