Was just at my local Lego Store at Sawgrass, Florida. They didn't have the X-Wing, but only because it was sold out. I asked them about the canopy issue and they replied that it was only certain production runs. As such, none of theirs had been affected, which is good for those buyers! I wonder if that means other stores, such as the Target right across the street of that Lego store, would have a good version?

Wow, these look neato. General thoughts: I positively adore the mixing of the new and old systems! While I may be in the minority, I don't mind having complexity for complexity sake as long as it isn't every set that does this. To me, "Unitied" Kopaka is the only one with the overly complex build, but I haven't built the sets yet so only time will tell. Creatures: Glad they aren't clone sets, for the most part. The new shell looks interesting with all the technic pin hole attachment points. As for them sharing the same head, this seems like a cost-cutting measure as well as a practical one. They seem to be able to attach to the Toa's masks, created a helmeted effect as seen on the Kopaka set. Toa: Tahu; Don't like his mask that much. Nice to get the Skull armor in gold. I like his swords. Onua; While I liked his super-wide, bulky chest, it's good to see the bulk isn't gone entirely-just spread out. Kopaka; Lovin' Kopaka XL. Went from my least favorite to my favorite set. (When comparing 2015 Kopaka to 2016 Kopaka) Pohatu; A solid set, not much to say about it. Is that trans-yellow I see? It's probably just trans-neon green.. Gali; Orange? An odd choice for sure, but I'm not disappointed with it. I almost thought she had a disc launcher when I saw the first prelims. Lewa; His mask is another strange one, but not in a bad way. It's odd how different it looks to his 2015 variant, but how similar it is to his Mata mask. Which, the 2015 variant was similar to the Mata one as well. Interesting how one mask can produce many similar enough evolutions, but the evolutions look vastly different to each other. Villain; Umarak; Never skip leg day. I'm thinking this MoC is a destroyed version, it looks like parts of it are missing. He's creepy, spooky, and fairly well armored. I don't know why, but his mask gave me a good chuckle. Final Thoughts; Overall, I like most of these sets, I just don't care for Tahu that much. Being only one set, I think I'll just get him to complete the collection so to speak.

We shouldn't be too quick to forget the new Hoth figure in the advent calendar. While it doesn't prove anything by itself, we've seen LEGO introduce new figures in an Advent Calendar that would later be in a D2C set. A great example of this would be the 2013 Advent Calendar and the Ewok village. But, I have to consider the other side. If we were getting a large D2C set in October, which is only a couple of weeks away, it should've been revealed by this point. At this point I'm 50/50 on whether or not this is going to be released this October. Still holding out for a later release, a la the Slave I.

If you're talking about the Juniors Batcave, that's a possibility. If you mean the System one, that's way too big to directly compare. Don't expect it to be huge, it seems like you'll need to buy two to get the whole thing.

I'm pretty sure the Echo base is a 2015 set. As for news, we've got nothing.

Welcome to the forum, fellow human. Bzzt! Bzzt! Oh no, I'm running low on charge. Time to change my batteries.

Not many themes have returned from cancellation, although one comes to mind. That being, Bionicle. However I don't think that's an indicator if we will see more reboots of old(er) themes in the future. If there is a new movie, there is no doubt in my mind we'll get sets. If that that even happens to being with.

I don't see much of a difference between getting Hoth sets every few years when we get TIEs, Jedi Interceptors, X-Wings, Falcon's, ect. every few years as well. From an AFOL perspective I understand why it's tiring to many of us, but Snowspeeders are iconic and can be sold at low price points. It's quite the amass-able vehicle. Regarding the Rebels Snowspeeder and new Jedi Interceptor, these don't surprise me at. Even when we just had these vehicles back in 2014, and are even in stores today. I think the lack of changes in these remakes is only because why change a good design? There's no reason to get rid of good designs. Then again, the lack of changes can lead to people either finding the new sets unappealing and uninspiring, while new audiences get the best possible build. In the end, the disdain for remakes is only a side effect of being a fan of Lego, like all of us here. The 2016 rumor list only makes me more excited for the summer wave, personally. I'm hoping for a full-on Cloud City, and possibly more Rebels items would be nice. I have to agree on your sentiment regarding the Bantha-I really do hope this was a hint!

Given the lack of an elbow joint like the PoF and PoI, I'll pass on attempting to build this. This could've just been done to save on modeling work in-game, but who knows? Too bad that those parts don't exist yet-would love to get them one day. I do like the fully golden chest over the trans-blue one; may mod my own now. It's funny how the mod I like the most is just due to a part substitution rather than the in-game figure.

My first profile picture was of Emmet smiling, because I liked the image at the time. Recently I've changed it for two reasons. 1) Fun fact, I'm easily scared in real life. Even a simple "boo!" can get me. Not like I tell a lot of people this! And 2) I just got bored with my first one. Had it for over a year before I decided to change it. This one may last longer, or not as long. I'm enjoying it for the time being. Edit: Oh, and I almost forgot. Emmet's hair coupled with his plain appearance suits me quite well. Too bad he doesn't wear glasses!

Nice to hear that Hulk_Smash is right once again. I'm crossing my fingers for a reveal this Saturday. Cannot wait!
