Man, this is absolutely a better wave than the first. I want almost all of these! Wolverine was going to be an easy skip but now that I see he has excellent arm printing as well as dual-molded legs with printing and side leg printing, there's no way I'm passing that up. Werewolf-By-Night is my favorite but I wish he came with more accessories. I'm not sure what else he could have realistically included mind you, it's just that the Bloodstone just isn't enough. I'm very glad to see he has arm printing and dual-molded legs. I can't tell but he might have side leg printing as well. Moon Knight is my 2nd favorite with Mr. Knight being my 3rd. Moon Knight especially is absolutely perfect with all the printing and new pieces for the cowl and crescent. Same deal here, can't tell for sure if he has side leg pri ting but he at least has arm printing, leg pri ting and dual-molded legs. I cannot wait to add them to the collection as well. I'm glad Agatha has the Darkhold and that's going to be the main reason I get her. Honestly the only figures I have zero interest in are Echo, Hawkeye and Kate Bishop. Even She-Hulk and Goliath both have fantastic arm printing, dual-molded legs, leg printing and side leg printing.

That would actually be pretty great. It's a neat ship design and assuming we would get Nubs along with Nash and her little droid. Of course it'll definitely be another wildly overpriced 4+ set unfortunately. Ive only seen the one leaked image so I don't know if it's been shown yet or not but maybe he has a 2nd face with a more appropriate expression? I too was disappointed that he doesn't have a more inquisitive expression as he often had(usually in response to an Anakin plan) but then again I was never going to afford this set anyway. All I want is for the new Rex to show up in a cheaper set in a year or too just with a different head underneath. I am absolutely down for more Clone Wars bps though I hope we get a new legion this time. I could easily see them doing Shock Troopers to pair with the new Gunship but I would vastly prefer Star Core, Galactic Marines or Wolfpack. As for the rumor of new Super Battlw Droids, that would be incredible. It's been years since we've had any and the old ones I have are so loose. Of course, we are loooong overdue for a proper droid bp. As far as builds go, I really, really want to get a Crab Droid. It seems like such a no-brainer at a bp price poi t and piece count, and would be so much more valuable for army building than a downsized cannon or yet another AT-RT(as much as I absolutely love the AT-RT) or BARC Speeder. Plus, a Crab Droid would help balance things out since the bp is ru.ored to only include 2 Super Battle Droids. The only way I would be okay with another 501st bp is if it came with named troops like 5s, Echo, Jessie, etc(especially if 5s and Echo are in their ARC Trooper gear). Watch them throw the new Rex in there, that would actually make me really happy and it would be really funny to watch the meltdown of collectors who would want the UCS Venator Rex to remain exclusive for their own selfish reasons.

Fo anyone interested, there's a LEGO Eggman event going on right now in the Sonic Forces mobile game. The event lasts for another 5 days or so and you can work toward unlocking LEGO Eggman as a playable character. I'm a little over halfway there.

Overall the figures are all phenomenal but I do have a few minor nitpicks: I wish Sabine had arm printing, Morgan had printing on the skirt piece and I really wish they had given Baylan the Praetorian guard shoulder armor in gunmetal gray. Luckily that piece is easy to come by since it was in a bunch of Ninjago sets awhile back. Also I think he could have had a better hair piece. Overall though, for all the new molds and so many figures with leg printing, it's easier to forgive. I fully expect we'll eventually get a spoiler set with Thrawn and Ezra and pissibly a few things from the leaks but time will tell. Marrok steals the show for me, I absolutely love that figure. Hopefully the character has some substance and isn't just there for one episode and gets defeated. The fact they gave him an actual name rather than Inquisitor #_ does give me some hope in that regard. Ashoka is definitely my 2nd favorite figure in the wave. They definitely did her justice. The only way she could be any better is if she had dual-molded arms and the Asajj Ventris lightsaber hilts.

She's using Ezra's lightsaber. It was literally in the trailer multiple times and she even alludes to Ahsoka training her.

Hyuang and the T6 look amazing l! I can't wait for better pictures and a look at the other figures. It's easily my most anticipated set of the wave. I'm also very glad to hear that the E-Wing is included in the $100 set. Personally I hate how LEGO has been making a pair of single occupant starfighters as $100 sets instead of selling them individually for a more reasonable price. Edit: And of course as soon as I post this we get a ton of pictures. Wow, I absolutely love the T6 and all the figures in it! They all look phenomenal. I also love the E-Wing and Shin's Starfighter is great, definitely way more colorful than I was expecting. I'm definitely disappointed the lightsabers aren't orange and that is not the best hair piece for Baylon. I also like how colorful that astromech is. The Ahsoka show may have one of the strongest waves in years and I expect the show will live up to that. It really says a lot when a brand new Ghost and Phantom II is my least hyped set in the wave and I'm still super hyped for that.

Wow that's a really dumb name but the ship looks neat. LEGO really has just decided to stop putting MCU villains in their sets huh? That's beyond annoying. That price is also absurd. LEGO has completely lost their minds on pricing.

I recognize that I may be the oddball here but I wish the Ukrainian Iron Belly was it's own set because I honestly just want that. I may just have to bricklink the dragon at some point, hopefully for a somewhat reasonable price.

I'm honestly glad Kang wasn't in this series afterall taking up a slot because we're going to end up getting him a ton over the next several years to the point of being as sick of him as I am of Thanos at this point, precisely because he's the new Thanos. I'd much, MUCH rather have Goliath who otherwise would likely never have gotten a figure. Interesting thought I had about the Echo figure: So we know she's going to have the handprint on her face in her series like she's supposed to have and it looks like there is a white smudge on the minifig's face so it definitely has it too but it's difficult to make out. Who wants to see it be a realistic looking hand print and who wants it to be a minifig hand print so basically a big "C" shape on her face? Personally I would love it if it's the latter.

I would not expect to see MCU Kang until the drama with the actor settles and Marvel decides what to do with him. It'll be years before we see him again anyway so the best we can hope for anytime soon is a comic book version. Am I losing it or does it look like Werewolf-By-Night has dual-molded hands!? If so, that would be a game-changer. It's probably just the lighting playing tricks though. Regardless, I do wish he came with more than just the Bloodstone for accessories. Also if I'm being honest, I'm mostly getting Agatha for the Darkhold. She'll but shoved into my Midnight Sons display somewhere though.

I actually quite like the MCU Goliath design and hopefully it comes with a Lawrence Fishburne head and hair piece, assuming it's Bill Foster under the helmet. Moon Knight and Mr. Knight are easily the best in the wave and I beed to see better pictures of Werewolf-By-Night but first impression is disappointing. I'm sure getting a better look at the printing will help and it does look like there may be ears molded into the bew hairpiece. Also, definitely glad he's not black and white so he can fit into my supernatural Marvel display better. Beast heas a very interesting new hair piece but definitely want him too. I'll probably get Agatha and She-Hulk as well. I still really wish Elsa Bloodstone was included in this series but maybe we'll get her someday.

Yeah honestly I'm only going to get a couple blind boxes and get the rest of the figures I want off bricklink. I'm not risking duplicates or getting a bunch of figures I don't want. They're too expensive and money is too tight to be gambling away on an irl lootbox. The whole blind bag thing was already distasteful but switching to boxes is really an ethically questionable move on LEGO's part since children are LEGO's intended audience. Just to bring up a comparison to one of LEGO's direct competitors, Mega Construx Pokeball sets are fantastic as they tell you exactly what Pokemon you're getting. They very easily could have made those blind packs and force you to buy a bunch of them to hope you get the Pokemon you want and make a lot more money but they didn't and I respect them more for not doing that. In LEGO's case, I lost a little respect for them over the blind bags/boxes thing.

Yeah I'm really hoping it's an E-wing with Shin's ship. Both are cool and new. I'm beyond sick to death of X-Wings.

The Ghost looks awesome as do the figures. I also like the little Phantom II. I really hate that Jacen has been retconned to have boring old brown hair instead of the green he originally had. The new Ahsoka figure looks fantastic, not at all surprised they made a new lekku piece for her but it looks pretty good for live-action Ahsoka. I know Zeb hasn't been rumored in any of these sets but man, I REALLY want a new Zeb figure with digigrade legs... Hopefully if he is in the show--- surely he will be, otherwise what was the point of his cameo in Mando season 3--- then maybe he'll come later down the line as I'm sure most of what we're going to get in these first wave of Ahsoka sets are things from the trailers. I don't expect Lt Beyta or First Officer Hawkins will have much screen time but they appeared in the trailer so they were thrown into the set. I know for a lot of people this was the Ahsoka set they were most excited for but for me, I'm way more excited for Ahsoka's T-6 shuttle and the figures it includes. Hopefully that set gets revealed soon too.

My only problems with Commander Fox are the lack of a proper kama and the really poor white print quality. It's utterly inexcusable how awful their print quality is when it comes to color matching. I will always point out how bad this kind of thing is because fixing it is incredibly simple and will hardly cost them anything. It looks bad and makes them look utterly incompetent and greedy when the print quality of light colors on dark plastic is this atrocious and has been for years. It wasn't always this way so something changed along the way. Maybe they though it saved them $0.0001 per figure or something.

*Sigh* LEGO really doesn't know what adult LEGO Marvel fans want do they? Yet another gauntlet/helmet on a stand for an exorbitant price. These things must sell somewhere but I always see them shelfwarm for months and eventually go on sale and even then I still don't have any interest. LEGO, if you're listening, adult LEGO Marvel fans still want minifigs and minifig-scaled sets and dioramas!

The Gunship looks great, my only major issues are the stud shooters of course and the nose of of the ship looks off to me. It definitely needs more figures though for the price.

It's not going to happen but I would LOVE if the figure included is Saw Garerra ---with the space marine armor piece. For as many shows ---as well as a game and a movie--- as he has appeared in, he's looong overdue.

Yeah I would hope that a modern redesign of the Ghost would be more like how the Millennium Falcons are made with flip up panels that have a sizeable interior. I think it would be easy to do, especially now that the designers have so much more material to go off of than just a piece or 2 of concept art as they likely did with the first one. Now they have an entire tv series to go off of, assuming it doesn't drastically change for the Ahsoka series. Heck, even if it does, we still at least get a Rebels-accurate interior, so we win either way.

I watched SolidBrix's review of the Spider Tank and I absolutely love it. It's really unfortunate that it's coming out so late but I'm still excited for the set since episode 2 was my favorite of Mando season 3. It's such a cool design that I hope it appears in other Star Wars media. It definitely looks like it could have been a CIS droid/vehicle, maybe it could show up again in something like Bad Batch season 3 or Mando season 4. It's of course a shame that LEGO didn't know about the cyborg but I'm already working on making my own to fit in the set once it comes out.

Of course no sooner do I make that post a review appeared...

Hera figure does indeed look excellent. So we've had early reviews for all of the August releases except the Spider Tank. I wonder if that one wasn't sent out for early review. That would be a shame because that's the August set I'm looking forward to the most. Also, it's ironic because we've known about it officially longer than any of the others.

Love the new Biba face print and 5h3 Morgan figure is shaping up to be great. I can definitely see that hair piece being used for Padme. I would not be surprised if the Padme that comes in the Couriscant Republic Gunship uses that piece too.

Because he's not supposed to look gray, he's supposed to look brown. It'd be like having a black and white Wanda lined up next to regular MCU figures. It doesn't match and would look out of place and unlike Wanda, I don't forsee getting many Werewolf-By-Night minifigs and certainly not anytime soon so I'd hate to have the potentially only minifig of him to not work in a display of other supernatural Marvel minifigs.

I want Werewolf-By-Night to be in color so he can be displayed with other figures without it looking really jarring, as neat as b&w would be.
