There are still better options to choose from. If there ever was a CMF series I think its better to see all new variants of the main characters over repeats that have been available in previous sets. In Leia's case the only on-screen costumes that haven't been made yet are Rebels, Bespin Escape and D'Qar. I think one of those would work a lot better. Another alternative would be her costume from the 1977 Star Wars poster which is different enough from the Classic and Ceremony ones in ANH to warrant a special release. But there's really no reason to revisit her previous minifigures in a CMF line when that can be done by revisiting the sets they originally came in.

She's one of my most wanted too. I'd love a supplementry set to Maz's Castle with both her and the Crimson Corsair. Or even better if they returned for Episodes 8 and 9.

The new TIE Advanced is a huge improvement over the old one. The wings are far more detailed, the cockpit is much more rounded and smoother and the overall build looks to be a lot sturdier. Plus some people forget that Vader's TIE is supposed to be small in size and bulkier in shape compared to the other TIE Fighters in the movies. This is the first system scale model that actually captures the ship's stubby look perfectly.

Hopefully he comes with both a young and older face but I'm glad we're finally getting him.

The new TIE Advanced is a massive improvement over the 2009 one. The wings are far more detailed and the cockpit looks much smoother and rounder this time. Plus Vader's TIE is supposed to look a bit more stubby in shape compared to the other sleeker TIEs in the movies and this set pulls it off perfectly.

Has anyone spotted Kanan's Speeder Bike in stores yet? Also does anyone know if any retailers are still selling the Simpsons House and Scooby Doo sets?

I can't say I'm really interested in more generic female troopers, but I definitely think we need more female characters. Zam's overdue for an update, Padme is still sorely overlooked and there's plenty of characters we still haven't gotten yet like Shmi, Beru, Bazine, Satine, Mother Talzin, Seventh Sister, Jocusta Nu, Bo-Katan, Ketsu, Adi Gallia, Taun We etc Plus we are so close to having every Princess Leia represented in minifigure form. All thats really missing at this stage is an updated Cloud City Leia and new minifigures based on her Rebels, Bespin Escape and D'Qar costumes.

Shame this topic has been unstickied. A better idea might've been to just rename it to General LEGO LOTR Discussion.

Not really. I'm pretty sure by OT figs he means he's only interested in characters from the classic movies. You know Luke, Leia, Han, Obi-Wan, Chewie, Vader, Palpatine, Tarkin etc. No Jyn Erso and her team, Death Squad Troopers, Scarab Troopers or White Cape Guy. Rogue One might be set in the same time period but it mean they're a part of the Original Trilogy.

She definitely has Sabine's face. I actually don't mind though since it suits her much more than it did Sabine.

The structure looks much better when its closed. I don't think the pics showing it opened up really do the set justice.

^ The face print is all new. I'm still unsure whether I like the new Turbo Tank or not. The detail on it is great but something about the design of the head looks off.

I don't think so. Compare the prices of previous retailer exclusives we get at that time of the year: 2008 - The Twilight 2009 - Home One 2010 - AT-AT 2011 - Hoth Echo Base 2012 - Palpatine's Arrest 2013 - Jedi Defender-class Cruiser 2014 - MTT 2015 - Sith Infiltrator A B-Wing would be too small for the price range. This year's exclusive set should be the around the same size as the others.

It was never released in Australian stores. Neither was the last X-Men set.

Definitely looking forward to more OT Stormtroopers and hopefully Rebel Fleet Troopers. The new characters and Imperials look very promising too and an updated Mon Mothma minifigure would be more than welcome. I kind of hope we don't wind up with another AT-AT or Star Destroyer though. Feels like its still a bit too soon since the last versions came out.

They're pretty obscure but they do appear in the movie: Manning the cannon during the Battle of Coruscant Two on the gunship when Yoda is leaving for Kashyyyk (the other clones in the scene have the gray markings which Lego hasn't released yet) Two on the gunship when Obi-Wan is briefing Cody

I'd like to see more Rebels characters get released. New versions of Darth Maul, Princess Leia, Hondo and Lando Seventh Sister Inquisitor Eighth Brother Inquisitor Fenn Rau Ketsu Onyo Bail Organa Cham Syndulla Vizago Hopefully one of two of them might show up in the mystery Ahsoka set.

The finale definitely got me more hyped for that mystery Rebels set with Ahsoka. Hopefully we won't have to wait too long for its reveal.

Here's a look at Ivy's hairpiece from behind:

They did a fantastic job on Two Face! Its easily the best Lego version of the character yet! He definitely looks inspired by Batman Forever along with Riddler. The Penguin also looks like he might be loosely based off Batman Returns with the pale skin colour. Alfred looks amazing and the extra accessories really help take the detail to the next level. Poison Ivy's new costume looks great and her face looks like an improvement over the current one. Her new hairpiece is interesting too - like its a mix of Elsa Schneider's from the front and Elizabeth Swan's from behind. The flower accessory looks nice but I do hope a physical version of the minifigure keeps the printed leaves in the hair. I always liked that little detail on the current Ivy figure.

I think there's a good chance we'll be seeing him in the near future. Notice the Penguin's new top hat in the pic?

Riddler looks awesome! Great to finally see him in a suit with a proper cane. Catwoman and Penguin look cool too and I'm really loving the new Poison Ivy. Shame you can't barely make out any detail on Two Face but at least this one will be an improvement over the ugly orange and purple suit on the last minifigure. I'd love that. The only thing better than a New 52 Catwoman minifigure is a Batman Returns one.

I wouldn't mind seeing another TIE Fighter in the lineup. The standard Imperial version is due for an upgrade to fit in with the recent Darth Vader, Inquisitor and Special Forces ones. Plus there's the possibility of Rogue One introducing an all new TIE variant. I'm open to another system scale Slave I as well if they can pull off the rotating wings the same way they did the UCS version.

Very dissapointing exclusive considering there's so many better characters they could have picked from.

I don't really see how Poe's face is an improvement over the Star Lord one. He's still smirking and looks less accurate with black eyebrows and facial hair.
