    Marvel Superheroes 2023 - Rumors & Discussion

    X-Men fans can rejoice because there appears to be an X-Mansion set in the works. I've managed to get a look at it and although I can't post the picture of the exterior that I've seen, I'll describe it here. The set itself is the X-Mansion and features a gate as well. I can only see the exterior so I have no idea what the interior looks like except from the small bits I can see through the open doors and windows. The Mansion is two-levels and does not feature a subbasement with a Danger Room or Cerebro or anything like that. This set seems to be focusing on the residential and academic parts of the mansion. The two levels are mostly tan with some dark tan elements as well whereas the foundation is dark gray and the roof dark gray and light gray. The roof does not feature many details as of now. The first level has dark green foliage growing on it while the second level has a balcony in the middle with a door to access it from the interior. There are 9 minifigures shown but the description of the set only specifically mentions 7 of them plus "many more," so it's possible there are more than 9 minifigures. The ones shown are preliminary designs for Professor X, Wolverine, Storm, Cyclops, Beast, Magneto, Mystique, Sabretooth, and the White Queen. Professor X is in his black suit but it doesn't look like he's in a wheelchair but his hoverchair from the 90s. Only the hoverchair is colored gray and dark gray right now. Wolverine and Storm are taken straight from the previous Sentinel set including Storm's lightning blasts. Cyclops's design is new because he's wearing his 90s costume except it's not bright blue but a dark navy blue. Beast looks just like how he did in the Marvel Lego Super Heroes game except he's wearing a white labcoat. Magneto is the same as his previous minifigure except he's missing his purple belt/trunks. Mystique is just a blank blue body and faceless head with the red widow's peak hairpiece so she looks like her movie version. I doubt her final version will be based off of the movie version. Sabretooth is just the Wolverine minifigure from the Deadpool helicopter set but with a blonde hairpiece. The set is 3122 pieces and is priced to be likely around $300 with a height of 10 inches/25 cm, a width of 21 inches/53 cm, and 7 inches/17 cm deep.

    Wizarding World 2023 - Rumors & Discussion

    I haven't been keeping up with the new HP sets that have been confirmed so has there been any talk about a new Burrow set? Or a brick-built Sorting Hat? I just got a look at both through a survey of upcoming Lego sets and although I can't post pics, I can talk about them. The Burrow set is 2388 pieces and will be released in a price range of $200-325, probably $250. It measures 20 inches/50 cm high. It looks a lot more detailed and better than the previous two Burrow sets imo although the design still seems preliminary. There are 9 minifigures depicted but they all have generic white bodies and faceless heads and there's no description as to which minifigures they are. The only thing that distinguishes the figures is that they have specific hairpieces. I don't see a Harry but there is a Hermione because she's got her trademark brown hairpiece. Every other minifigure has red hair so I'm guessing Hermione is the only non-Weasley included. I can tell that one of them is definitely Molly, one is Ron, and two are Fred and George. That leaves four other red-headed characters who I can't tell but I'm guessing they would probably include Arthur, Ginny, and Percy. There's nothing about the set that seems themed to Half-Blood Prince so I'm assuming it's based more on the Chamber of Secrets. The image I saw was only of the exterior so I have no idea what the interior looks like except that the description of the set mentions dishes that wash themselves. The brick-built Sorting Hat I saw was priced to be $100 and it stands on a base. There was no description for this so I don't know if it has any specific features like if the eyes or mouth can move. However, it's quite impressive looking and would make for a good display especially along with the previous Hogwarts Icons set. I know that set wasn't very popular on here so I'm assuming people will feel likewise about this.

    Disney Properties 2023 - Rumors & Discussion

    I recently took a survey which showed me four of the upcoming Disney sets that I presume will be released later this year. None of them are ones that have been directly confirmed so far like the Peter and Wendy set or the Birthday Disney train. I am not allowed to post pictures unfortunately but I can discuss the sets here. Donald Duck - this is a full-scale brick-built Donald in the vein of the Mickey and Minnie that were released before. He stands on a very similar base as Mickey and Minnie did with his name autographed on the base. It's a very good likeness of Donald but based on the one image of him I've seen, he doesn't seem to fit the scale of the Mickey and Minnie. This Donald seems a lot shorter and squatter to my eyes but maybe I'm wrong and he fits perfectly in scale with them. The description of the set says that it features 1000 pieces, will range from $80-$130 in price, and has a height of 12 inches/30 cm. I checked the previously released Mickey and Minnie and they're 15 inches/36 cm so that extra height might be because of their ears. Donald's legs are a lot shorter than Mickey and Minnie's though. Simba - this is another full-scale brick built set but one featuring child Simba from The Lion King. Like Donald, he's described as 12 inches/30 cm high and he has the same price range of $80-$130 but he has 1353 pieces. I think he looks a lot more technically impressive than the Donald and even though I'm not a fan of the brick-built character sets myself, I wouldn't mind getting this especially for the price. He looks pretty much identical to this image of Simba here that Disney uses in a lot of merchandise except the hair on his tail is a much darker brown. So just imagine the below image but made out of Lego bricks and you've seen the set. Snow White Cottage - this is the set that most of us have been waiting for. I guess the reason the Lego Ideas version was ultimately rejected is because they planned on making their own version all along. It has a similar look to the cottage set from the Lego Ideas version, but the roof is a very different color. It's not bright yellow but a rust orange/burnt orange. I personally think it's too dark of a shade so I hope that gets changed because unlike the Donald and Simba sets, which looked pretty finished, this one is clearly still a WIP. Another major difference from the Lego Ideas version is that in the Lego Ideas set, the part of the cottage featuring the door had a much lower roof than the rest of the cottage. That isn't the case here. There is a height difference but the entire right side of the cottage featuring the door has a roof only a bit lower than the other side which seems to be more movie accurate anyway. The most interesting part is that there's a wishing well included as well on a separate green base than the cottage. Both the cottage and the wishing well include white bark trees with stripes on them. I've never seen these trees before in a Lego set so to my knowledge they're new pieces and they look really good, especially because they're quite curvy and twist around. The set is described as 2500 pieces and ranges from $200-325. There is no list or count of minifigures but the picture showed me that Snow White and all seven Dwarfs were included. The dwarfs are a further indication that the set is unfinished because their designs are clearly preliminary. Dopey is the only one I recognized because of the lack of beard and he's the only one with the purple hat but he definitely doesn't have his green outfit. The rest of the dwarfs were even more unrecognizable with a random assortment of color torsos and hats. Several of them come with accessories like pick-axes and hammers although there are no mine carts included. The faces also seem very generic right now. Snow White looked more finished in comparison. She has a pale yellow slope piece as a skirt. Her torso is blue and actually has some of the skirt printed on but only on the front so the sides don't feature the skirt. Her overall color scheme is pretty similar to her look on the Brick Headz. I actually used a space in the survey to comment on the fact that Snow White in the movie has a navy blue torso, not a medium blue torso, and how they should change her color scheme to look more movie accurate. There was no cape depicted either so I mentioned that as well as something they can add. There's also a forest animal included although I can't even tell which animal it is. The wishing well includes a dove. The image I saw only depicted the exterior of the cottage so I have absolutely no idea what the back/interior looks like. Overall, just going by the exterior and minifigures, I am very impressed but I do hope that they change some things up to make it all more movie accurate, namely the minifigures. There was also no sign of the Witch or the Prince. Sleeping Beauty Dragon - the last set I saw was one that was also heavily speculated here by many, including myself. It's a diorama of Prince Phillip on horseback fighting Maleficent in dragon form. The set is 1250 pieces and has a price range of $80-$130. It features two minifigures, Prince Phillip and Maleficent. Phillip comes with a generic white horse and his sword and shield. This set also seems to still be in a preliminary design because Phillip is using Shaggy's hair and his shield has no printing like the movie. Samson, the horse in the movie, has a very light gray coloring that almost looks white along with a black mane, whereas this is just a generic white horse and the mane color is white as well so I hope that will change. Maleficent appears to be the same minfigure as before but I presume this time around she will have a cape and collar from the spongy material. She does come with her scepter. Maleficent the dragon is described as articulated and removable from the diorama. The base of the diorama is like in the Star Wars diorama sets, in the sense that it is black and features some text on the front although it's too small for me to read. On the base is the bridge leading to the castle from the movie and it tilts up. Right now there are green and brown foliage pieces to represent thorns but I wonder if those will change later on to black like in the movie. I like the design of the dragon Maleficent but although she towers over a lone minifigure, I wonder if she couldn't have been a bit bigger. She's got green fire as an effect coming out from her mouth connected to a clear stand. Her wings seem to be made out of a cloth material but the print on them is quite messy and not polished enough so it's safe to say this set is still being worked on.

    LEGO Videogame Tie-Ins - Rumors & Discussion

    For all you Zelda fans out there, I can confirm that there is a Zelda set in production. I don't know if it's supposed to launch a whole new theme or if it's just a one-off but there's one set at least which will feature 1920 pieces and will range from $200-$325, probably $250. It's a 2-in-1 model based on the Great Deku Tree. Just to clarify, I am not a Zelda fan and I have never played any of the games so I don't know really know much about what I've seen except that the description of the set that I was provided specifically called it the Great Deku Tree. There were two images of the set, because they give you enough pieces to make two versions of the tree. Just to clarify on the 2-in-1 aspect, it appears to be the same model which you can redress to make it look different. I don't think they actually made it so you could make both trees and display both together since there's just the one base. One of the trees was specifically labeled as designed from the Breath of the Wild game whereas the other came from Ocarina of Time. I don't know which is which but one version of the tree had an opening underneath the branches and had pink flowers. The other version had no opening underneath the tree's face and had green leaves instead. Whichever tree you make is featured on a base with the Zelda logo on it. As for minifigures, they don't have a count or any names listed but both pictures showed the same three minifigs. I recognized one as Link who has the short legs. The other two minifigures I didn't recognize so I had to look them up and it seems like they're Link and Zelda from the Breath of the Wild game because they both look like this wearing blue. There's also a light blue orb covered in white with a clear stand. I got permission from a moderator to share this information although I cannot share the pictures. As someone who doesn't really know much about the franchise, I must say that I'm quite impressed with the set so I'm hoping Zelda fans will be pleased with it as well once official pics or leaks are posted.

    Disney Properties 2023 - Rumors & Discussion

    I just hope that whenever we get a Cinderella minifigure, it actually resembles how she looks in the movie with burnt orange/titian hair and a silver dress. The hairpiece Daphne from Scooby Doo has actually bears a very strong resemblance to what Cinderella's hair should look like since it's shoulder-length, the correct orange color, and even has the poofy bangs in the front. There's also the possibility that they might nix the dwarfs, especially since I haven't seen the dwarfs pop up in any of the 100 years anniversary merchandise that Disney is making so far. In which case the Snow White cottage might just feature Snow White and the witch. If there's no cottage because it's too directly correlated to the dwarfs, a likely Snow White set might feature the wishing well with Snow White and the prince. The castle from the logo is more or less the Cinderella Castle from the Florida park which we already have a set of. So everytime someone watches a current Disney movie, they see the logo with the Florida park castle. And the castle in Tokyo is identical to the Cinderella Castle in Florida Personally, as someone who's always been a bigger fan of the movies than the theme parks, I can't see why the movie castles wouldn't be iconic. There are many people who don't or can't visit the theme parks whereas it's much easier to actually watch the movies from anywhere on the globe. If they made a castle for Frozen, I can't see why the other castles from the classic Disney movies wouldn't work either, especially since each of them has gotten a Lego set in the minidoll style for the princess series, minus Snow White's castle. @Karalora posted a pic of the Sleeping Beauty castle in Paris on the previous page. It's my personal favorite of the theme park castles and also the one with the most unique design, but I'm not sure how iconic it is outside of Europe especially since the Paris theme park is considered a financial flop.

    Disney Properties 2023 - Rumors & Discussion

    That's what I was thinking that a potential Seven Dwarfs cottage set would feature Snow White, the dwarfs, and the witch to complement the queen. Possibly the prince as well although I don't think he'll get a minifigure sadly. Another option is that since she has both a pink and blue dress, we get one color dress in a set and the other color dress in the CMF series. But I think her being Briar Rose with the owl in the CMF series makes more sense. I would like to get both color dresses though. That being said, I also don't think a Sleeping Beauty set is necessarily a given although I would love a Maleficent dragon set. That wouldn't feature Aurora anyway unless it included a castle or tower with her sleeping in it. Even if we get a Sleeping Beauty Castle set based on the parks, there's no guarantee it will feature Aurora or any Sleeping Beauty characters just like how the Cinderella Castle set didn't feature Cinderella. The Hong Kong and Shanghai castles are pretty obscure and not recognizable. The Cinderella Castle from Orlando is completely duplicated in Tokyo but the Paris Sleeping Beauty castle has a completely different design from the Anaheim Sleeping Beauty castle. Personally, I prefer the Paris design and would rather see that but it'll definitely be the iconic Anaheim castle instead. Assuming we do get another castle set from the parks (and I hope we do), it'll definitely be the Anaheim version. I'm also interested if a new castle set might be one of the castles from the movies instead of the parks like how the last D2C Disney set was the Ice Castle from Frozen. It could be any one of these castles/palaces then including Cinderella's palace from the movie which has a completely different look than the Orlando Cinderella Castle.

    Disney Properties 2023 - Rumors & Discussion

    The main reason I'm skeptical is because they also speculated a Snow White set based on no actual proof besides the fact that it seems odd not to include her in the anniversary theme. And a lot of people have taken that mention of Snow White as gospel that we are for sure getting a set with her. It's also possible the 18 figure list was just a preliminary list that could have been cut down later on. That could account for the fact that several of the figures were sighted by Promobricks but not all of them. I don't follow Lego leaks very often so I'm sure the rest of you guys on here are probably more informed than I am. I'm more used to leaks for video games where often there are leaks for tons of characters but only a select few actually end up being made.
  8. JeanGreyForever

    Disney Properties 2023 - Rumors & Discussion

    The leaked list was confirmed because Promobricks said they had seen some of the finished characters (likely including Stitch) that matched up with the list. That doesn't mean every character in the list is 100% confirmed though so there could still be some surprises.
  9. JeanGreyForever

    Disney Properties 2023 - Rumors & Discussion

    I hope Stitch's antennas are included as well. His Experiment 626 look isn't complete without them.
  10. JeanGreyForever

    Disney Properties 2023 - Rumors & Discussion

    Interestingly enough, Snow White is not one of the choices. Apparently it's either Cinderella, Belle, Merida, or Moana. Belle would be an odd choice without the Beast so I'm guessing it's not her.
  11. JeanGreyForever

    Disney Properties 2023 - Rumors & Discussion

    I've had some doubts about the veracity of the list as well because it comes across more like a fan's wishlist. 18 figures again seems a little too good to be true. The biggest red flag for me is the fact that some of the minifigs have other characters as accessories. The previous two Disney waves never had separate characters as accessories. I remember there was a lot of discussion on this forum about how Sebastian should have come with Ariel or Maleficent with her raven but it seemed that the rules were you could only have 18 figures exactly which meant no "bonus" characters as accessories to technically increase the character count. In this wave we suddenly have Cleo with Pinocchio and a dalmatian with Cruella and that seems at odds with the previous waves.
  12. JeanGreyForever

    Disney Properties 2023 - Rumors & Discussion

    There's a Lilo & Stitch set up for review with Lego Ideas. If it gets approved, we would be able to get a Lilo minifigure that way. She's been long overdue but Disney never makes any merchandise of her anymore. It's all about Stitch.
  13. JeanGreyForever

    Disney Properties 2023 - Rumors & Discussion

    Oh ok. Then yeah, it doesn't necessarily correspond to the Mad Hatter then.
  14. JeanGreyForever

    Disney Properties 2023 - Rumors & Discussion

    That's true. Although Facilier's hat has a skull symbol on the front. The silver hat in the leaked image has a small logo or buckle on the side which is missing on Jiminy's hat as well. Only the Mad Hatter has a card logo on one side of his hat.
  15. JeanGreyForever

    Disney Properties 2023 - Rumors & Discussion

    I agree that this list seems too good to be true, especially the 18 minifigures but maybe Disney demanded that Lego go all out for the 100 years anniversary. This is the first time that Disney animal characters (like Dante from Coco or the owl from Sleeping Beauty) are being used as accessories in the Disney CMF series. This also seems to confirm that one of the Disney Classic Animation sets will be Alice in Wonderland themed because of the Mad Hatter hat we saw earlier. Hopefully this means that set will include some other Alice characters like the March Hare, Dormouse, or White Rabbit. In the link it says they are only speculating that there will be a Snow White set since she didn't appear in this list, but there doesn't seem to be anything more concrete than that. Her omission, along with anyone from Beauty and the Beast and Cinderella, is still odd to me.
  16. JeanGreyForever

    Disney Properties 2023 - Rumors & Discussion

    The classic animation sets include the confirmed Peter Pan and Up sets, right? I doubt those would be black and white. The only black and white set we might get is if one of the classic animation sets features Mickey and the gang, such as Oswald. But if that's the only way to get an Oswald minifigure, they'll probably want him to be in color.
  17. JeanGreyForever

    Disney Properties 2023 - Rumors & Discussion

    I'd rather see more new properties than Toy Story and Frozen as well. That being said, I wouldn't mind a Bo Peep in her classic dress or Elsa and Anna in their Frozen 2 looks. I can see Elsa in her white dress getting a figure because of her popularity and because of how heavily Disney has revamped most of the Elsa merchandise to be based off her new look now. Even in the Disney Parks, all the events and shows featuring Elsa depict her in the white dress now. We definitely need the rest of the princesses though. Snow White, Cinderella, Aurora, and Belle and the miscellaneous characters from their movies seem long overdue now. Pocahontas as well. Figurines of the Blue Fairy sometimes depict her sleeves as a pale blue. Either the same shade of blue as her dress or a lighter shade overall. Her main dress sparkles so if they put some sort of sparkle effect on her torso, her sleeves would stand out in comparison. I would love a Pinocchio set too especially a Blue Fairy minifigure. However, besides some of the evidence others have used to suggest that the flesh arm in the promo image would probably belong to Tinker Bell and not the Blue Fairy, there's also the fact that the Blue Fairy isn't a character who tends to get a lot of merchandise. She's pretty rare to find products of which also makes me think it isn't likely this is a minifigure of her. And like you, I'm not thrilled with the idea of the series featuring all the Disney characters in silver, but I'll likely end up getting them anyway. I like your idea that they're going the Harry Potter route and each anniversary set will include an exclusive minfigure, but silver instead of gold as was done in Harry Potter. I think a lot of us would be a lot happier with this if they were extra minifigures rather than replacing existing slots in the CMF series. All the choices you said make sense as well except for Mickey with the top hat. The hat in the promo seems to be the Mad Hatter's hat based on the symbols included on the hat. That also worries me a bit because the Mad Hatter isn't a character we have a minfigure of so I wouldn't be very satisfied if the first version of him we ever get turns out to be an entirely silver one. Same with the other fan favs who have been requested a lot, like Snow White and Oswald, if they end up being included as silver versions. I'd much rather see characters who already have existing minifigures like the ones you mentioned, namely the Mickey and Friends characters, get the silver treatment than brand-new characters. Snow White's been popping up in most of the 100 Years of Disney merchandise revealed so far so I'd be shocked if Lego didn't include her. The dwarfs, in comparison, have been completely absent which makes me think they were the main reason Disney vetoed the cottage set, not because of Snow White herself. Which sadly means we'll probably never get minifigures of any of the dwarfs.
  18. JeanGreyForever

    Disney Properties 2023 - Rumors & Discussion

    It's probably Tinker Bell especially now that the castle is retired/retiring and that was the only way to get her previously. There are tons of Tinker Bell products for the 100 years of Disney celebration with her wearing silver. A thought that just came to me is what if the CMF series 3 is just all the Disney characters wearing silver versions of their iconic outfits. That might mean they'll give us mostly characters we already have (like Alice, Aladdin, Ariel, Buzz Lightyear, etc.) but in silver variants.
  19. JeanGreyForever

    Disney Properties 2023 - Rumors & Discussion

    Well, it seems like Lego is specifically reusing the popular characters that they know will sell. We already know Peter Pan is confirmed in that storybook set. And it seems highly likely we're getting Alice in Wonderland, Aladdin, and Toy Story from the leaked image. It makes sense from a financial perspective because they already have the molds for several of those characters. It would cost way more to make a Beauty and the Beast set and make two brand-new figures whereas for Peter Pan, they can just easily reuse Peter and only have to make a new Wendy. My guess for Alice is we'll get a Mad Tea Party set based on the teapot and Mad Hatter's hat. Alice can be brought back and they can include the Mad Hatter, March Hare, and Dormouse. Maybe the White Rabbit as well. For Aladdin, there are a number of potential sets like the Cave of Wonders, the Agrabah Marketplace, or Jasmine's balcony window if they want to make a set out of A Whole New World. That's once more assuming the castle set we know is coming isn't the Agrabah Palace since the last D2C Disney set was the Frozen Ice Castle. For Toy Story, maybe Andy's room? There are a lot of characters they can bring back while still making new ones like Bo Peep in her classic dress along with her sheep, Billy, Goat, and Gruff. Slinky Dog has never had appeared in a Lego set so maybe we can get a brick-built Slinky Dog as well.
  20. JeanGreyForever

    Disney Properties 2023 - Rumors & Discussion

    It seems like we will be getting sets for Alice in Wonderland, Aladdin, and Toy Story based on the aforementioned leaked image with those silver pieces. Maybe the castle set is the Agrabah Palace from Aladdin? Whatever it is, I do hope it's minifigure scale and not anything with minidolls or microscale.
  21. JeanGreyForever

    Disney Properties 2023 - Rumors & Discussion

    That would make sense if Mickey, Minnie, Donald, etc. are popping up again in this new series. And if the leaked image does correlate with the CMF series after all, then that could see the return of characters like Aladdin, Genie, Alice, Woody, etc. who either appeared in the previous series or in sets.
  22. JeanGreyForever

    Disney Properties 2023 - Rumors & Discussion

    You're right, I completely forget about them. That's 8 characters who came from shorts rather than movies, almost half the series.
  23. JeanGreyForever

    Disney Properties 2023 - Rumors & Discussion

    The last Disney series may have had 18 characters but 6 of them weren't even from the movies but from Mickey and Friends with Steamboat Mickey and Minnie (both of whom appeared in the Steamboat Willie set anyway) along with Scrooge McDuck and Donald's nephews. Only 12 slots were actually from the movies. I'll be more annoyed if we get more variants of Mickey, Minnie, Donald, etc. wasting precious slots when they have their own line now. I still think Sorcerer Mickey will likely show up in a D2C set. I'd like to believe we could get some of the BrickHeadz characters in the new series but there were Beauty and the Beast BrickHeadz years back and we still don't have either of them in minifigure form, so I don't think there'll necessarily be any correlation now. It'll be really shocking if they celebrate 100 years of Disney without anything Snow White related. I'd still like to hope the reason they axed the cottage set is because they already had it planned for the 100 years celebration but considering it seems that Disney vetoed the set and not Lego, that seems doubtful. Very annoying that the dwarfs are being "cancelled" when they're literally the foundation of the animation studio. Lego hasn't made any sets for any of the other live-action remakes so I doubt they're waiting to make one for Snow White. These remakes have no longevity anyway when it comes to merchandise. Lion King would be a good choice for its own set featuring Disney-style molds for the animal characters maybe with a Pride Rock structure. Bambi could be a smaller set in the same vein. I'd love to see Pocahontas along with the other characters/movies you mentioned. I'd add The Hunchback of Notre Dame as well.
  24. JeanGreyForever

    Disney Properties 2023 - Rumors & Discussion

    The flower might be for Daisy since there's a bow for Minnie. I think the bone is more likely for Pluto. Maybe a proper minifigure for him like Chip and Dale, even if they're not supposed to be that size or standing upright. Bones aren't used often to represent the 101 Dalmatians, let alone Cruella De Vil. The wrench is definitely for Oswald because they released a new Oswald short for the first time to celebrate 100 years of Disney. For the Genie's lamp, I'm guessing we'll be getting the Prince Ali version of Aladdin. That's a very popular look for him and in several Disney games they always make sure to include that as an alternate look for him, sometimes even when no other character has a variant. It could also work for Jafar as a Genie or Genie in one of his many transformations. For that matter, Jasmine has several outfits as well which could be portrayed.

    The Spider character from the new Avatar sets has a hairpiece that would be perfect for Disney's Tarzan if it came in brown instead of dark blonde.
