Animal Crossing 2024 - Rumors & Discussion
EdWebhead replied to TheBrickPal's topic in LEGO Licensed
After seeing a bunch of reviews I'm sold on these sets. Even though they're rather simple they're so charming and I'm in love with the minifigures! I plan on buying the whole wave this weekend. This theme definitely could benefit from a minifigure series since there's so many characters and basically each requires a new mold. Hope that's something they consider in the future. -
That is a massive disappointment if they indeed are minidolls. I get that Wicked skews more female, but girls like normal minifigures too! Only hope is if we get a larger D2C set with normal minifigures as well like the live-action Little Mermaid did.

Very excited for this! Been looking forward to this movie for a basically my whole life and I'm overjoyed that we're getting it in LEGO as well! I would assume the two largest sets are the Emerald City and Shiz, and the smaller sets could be Munchkinland with Glinda in her bubble or the Ozdust Ballroom scene. Since it's split into two movies we'll probably get another wave next year as well. So much potential, I'm thrilled!

Indiana Jones 2023 - Rumors & Discussion
EdWebhead replied to Pulp Detective's topic in LEGO Licensed
Saw the film a few nights ago and had a good time! Definitely lacks the magic of the originals, but that was expected since Spielberg didn't come back to direct this one. Definitely so many missed opportunities for sets and I'm really sad none were made. With the film seemingly not doing particularly well at the box office, I don't see them ever making any sets in the future. Next year is Temple of Doom's 40th anniversary though, so I'm hoping we get another wave to celebrate that, like how Jurassic Park got an anniversary wave this year. -

The castle looks nice but just no reason for me to pick it up since I own the 2016 version. I'm sure I'll get it at some point and the minifigures are great, but it's a pass for now. I just wish all the princesses were a lot easier to collect instead of being spread across multiple minifigures series and sets over several years. :/ -
Marvel Superheroes 2023 - Rumors & Discussion
EdWebhead replied to Clone OPatra's topic in LEGO Licensed
Wow, these constraction figures are horrendous. Even the 2012 ones look way better than these. This system just doesn't work for human characters or any characters that show their face. I can't imagine a kid wanting this over a proper action figure from Hasbro. How did this get approved? -
Sonic the Hedgehog - Rumours and Discussion
EdWebhead replied to Classic_Spaceman's topic in LEGO Licensed
These sets look great! I understand wanting to focus on Green Hill for the first wave, so the lack of variety in location doesn't bother me too much. Having only four characters across four sets is disappointing though, so Knuckles better be in that last set. With. the lack of minifigures I don't have to buy every set to get all the characters, so that's a good thing at least. -

This whole situation is so odd, but it definitely seems to be a Disney/Lucasfilm decision. Across the board there is not much merchandise for the new film but a heavy emphasis on the original trilogy, with most new merchandise being based on Raiders. Unless we get a surprise D2C like The Little Mermaid did I guess that confirms that's all we're getting this year. Oh well. :/ -

I think the odd decision is to make this a large scale 18+ set rather than something more affordable. Merchandise for this movie is already selling out like crazy, so it's weird to me that LEGO would produce something so expensive since I think the people that would be most interested won't be too willing to shell out so much for this set (no pun intended) when they could've done a smaller set or even a range of sets that people could purchase more casually. This movie will certainly hit a billion or at least come close to it like all the other remakes, and people would love something with the new Ariel, but the price might deter them. -

Definitely now think that leaked Snow White's Cottage set could very well be based on the remake if it's set for 2024. I actually enjoy the remakes for what they are so I welcome these sets, but I would also like some classic sets too! We need a full range based on the animated films and not just large 18+ sets. -
Wizarding World 2023 - Rumors & Discussion
EdWebhead replied to Clone OPatra's topic in LEGO Licensed
Even then I still think it would be too early to do the Cursed Child as a film, the original cast are still young and haven't quite aged up to play the older versions of their characters yet. Also, upon further reading Zaslav has said that the series doesn't limit what they could do in the Wizarding World, which could mean they are open to continuing from the original continuity with spinoffs, sequels, etc. The series might very well exist on its own and be ignored entirely if you wanted to, like how Rings of Power and the LOTR films are completely separate. It's needlessly convoluted, but there's that at least, which would make sense considering how dependent on the films the parks and merchandise are. -

The Harry Potter reboot is (unfortunately) official now, so I wonder what that means for the future of this theme. I hope it doesn't mean we will no longer get movie based sets in favor of the new version, that would be such a shame. -

For a set this size not to include all of Ariel's sisters is a bit frustrating. It's annoying how LEGO continues to skimp out on minifigure selection in their larger sets. Glad this exists though, hope this means more large Disney sets in the future! Would love a D2C Beast's Castle or Rapunzel's Tower. -

This is such a cool set! Very surprised that it's minifigures but thrilled that it is! Definitely a day one purchase for me, The Little Mermaid is my favorite Disney movie and I've been looking forward to the remake for a long time. -
Indiana Jones 2023 - Rumors & Discussion

Just thought it was interesting that Hasbro's Dial of Destiny merchandise is not launching until Fall of this year (well after the film's release), so I still don't think that it's entirely out of the question that LEGO would do the same and launch sets late this year or in 2024. Seems like across the board since it's a relaunch of Indy merchandise they're focusing on the original films to start. At the very least I would still like to believe that the Temple of Doom is still coming. If content was not an issue then I find it very hard to believe that they would straight up cancel it over a parts issue rather than fix it and release it at a later date. A major design flaw that would require a redesign would just seem like an unusual circumstance considering how much work goes into designing a set and getting it approved before going into production. We're only in April, all I'm saying is I think it's it's too early to rule out any potential future waves, especially when the theme literally just launched a week ago. I'm going to continue to search for any glimmer of hope that I can. :)
