    Anyone got the Skimwing 75576 yet? I'm currently thinking of what to replace the crossbow with. Decent image of Jake with his gun here: https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/jamescameronsavatar/images/3/3e/Skimwing_closeup.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/1000?cb=20220606173614 I think a long SW rifle with a black lightsaber hilt would work, the gun has some wodden detail on the hilt but I can't think of a piece that would work in such a small scale.

    I don't want to be a negative nancy, but just because there's 6 supposed sets releasing next year doesn't mean they'll release. Remeber the CCBS Star Wars Super Battle Droid and Walker? Those were in the retailer catalogue and never got released. Still, I do hope there's more. Even tough LEGO definitively missed the mark when to release the sets (and the occasional horrible printing) I do enjoy the overwatch sets.

    This is the worst. LEGO has only made the VIP system worse (and more complicated) for customers. The only ones that benefit are LEGO themselves. Shameful.

    Without getting into any spoilers, the Endgame sets are really poor. Very inaccurate to the movie, most of the sets feel rehashed. The entrylevel set is 5 dollars more than the Infinity War set and has the same amount of minifigs. I mean just compare the quality difference between the Avengers compound battle and the excellent Sanctum Sanctorum set from Infinity War (that has the same RRP but 400 more pieces) The Iron Man Hall of Armour is obviously for Minifig collectors that just wanna stick Iron Men on rows. It certainly doesn't help essentially all the heroes share the same torso and leg pieces (not really LEGOs fault but still) this wave is an easy pass for me.

    One has to wonder, between Mercy's terrible faceprint and Hanzo's missing dragon tattoo, aswell as the general sub-par fuzzy printing that the entire wave has in common, what happened to "Only the best is good enough"?
  6. Risgrynsgrot
    I have to say I'm really disappointed with both the Genji and Hanzo figure. Both look like crappy third party clone brands, but Hanzo is especially bad with the gray skintone on his torso and complete lack of his biggest trait - his dragon tattoo.

    Does anyone know if this theme will be sold by most toy retailers or have a smaller release? Because most online retailers here in Sweden usually have the new wave up on their pages by now but barely no one has overwatch.

    Set is called Hulkbuster: Ultron Edition, so its based on Age of Ultron. Comes with a black base and yellow assembly arms. Swapable arm, 26 cm tall, comes with an exclusive Iron Man Minifigure.

    Just seen the UCS Hulkbuster, not really liking it. The legs look really small.

    You gotta realize how many sets LEGO sells - and how few of them actually have the minifigs removed then returned to store. It's much, MUCH cheaper for LEGO to just send replacement figs those occasions than to come up with and install some kind of anti-theft system in every single set.

    So now most of the summer sets are searchable on Bricks & Pieces - however I'm noting that pretty much all interesting pieces are OOS. Stuff like Minifig parts and printed pieces. Is this because someone has already bought everything or does it usually take awhile after the new sets have been released until the parts are available?

    Looks like one hefty sticker sheet..
  13. Risgrynsgrot
    Yeah, I think they're gonna have the Silent Mary destroy it and possibly even killing Barbossa as a way to show how powerful these new ghost pirates actually are.

    I wouldn't worry, it seems that its a special ability the ship has, to be able to raise its bow and "chop" other ships in half, and I seriously doubt that LEGO would be able to make a set that 1) has a play-feature where the entire bow raises up 2) has a boat that is that damaged and see-trough while still being structurally sound. I believe we WILL get a full ship!

    I've bricklinked some minifigs (and got the Joker Lowrider) and I have to say, wow LEGO has really outdone themselves when it comes to the minifigs in this series. Minifigs like Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy look amazing, so much detail, beatiful print, I'm speechless.

    I actually bought the Pet Shop, built it and got tired of it really quickly and sold it. It's part of the "old" modulars, where LEGO focused more on size. With Parisian Restaurant they started focusing more on details and less on size. IMO Pet Shop clashes astethically with the newer ones. If I were you I'd start with the Parisian Restaurant and work my way up from there.

    75098 will forever be remembered as the black sheep in the UCS family, and really is one of the worst sets ever, since it fails to live up to the UCS standard in so many ways. This along with the May the 4th "promo" makes it feel like LEGO is pissing on us and doesn't even have the courtesy to call it rain
  18. Risgrynsgrot
    I think that LEGO messed up on both 75098 Assault on Hoth aswell as 21128 The Village being playsets, both being really expensive sets but too ugly and messy to be a good display piece for an adult, and way too expensive for a kid to get as a birthday or christmas gift.

    Okay! I want to get one of the newest amusement park sets, either the 10244 Mixer set or 10247 Ferris Wheel. Currently, I'm leaning towards the Mixer, as I think it's cuter with the small additional attractions (dunk tank, strength test, etc) and I really love how everything folds and is put neatly on the two trucks. Also, while the Ferris Wheel is big and impressive the build looks much more boring than the Mixer. Anyhow, what do you think?
  20. Risgrynsgrot
    Yep, LEGO really outdid themselves with this wave. Tons of amazing new minifigures, this is easily the best superhero wave EVER! That bridge set is just spectacular - and we've yet to see the Civil War set aswell!

    Price hike is because LEGO is doing too good. Same reason their Black Friday "sale" was a measly 5 % off (the year before that it was 10 % off)

    The review embargo is up, and as I expected all along (Snyder Directing, too much stuff jammed into the movie, trailers spoiling everything, bad casting choices) the movie is getting bad reviews. http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/batman_v_superman_dawn_of_justice/ http://www.metacritic.com/movie/batman-v-superman-dawn-of-justice?ref=hp

    Still, it's not possible since just like Star Wars CMFs LEGO doesn't own the rights to produce LOTR action figures.
  24. Risgrynsgrot
    No, because most of those fans would rather buy a set than one overpriced minifig. LOTR fans, unfortunely, doesn't have that option.
  25. Risgrynsgrot
    I'm hoping that now with LEGO Dimensions tanking hard and going on clearance everywhere that LEGO will take this opportunity and make some more cash by giving us something good LOTR-wise.
