Is there any chance that the third CMF series this year could be Pokemon themed? The 30th anniversary video games come out in autumn 2026, so a tie-in CMF series would make sense, and CMFs typically have more budget for new molds like minifig-scale animals (or pokemons).

They might, but knowing our luck they'll spell it "baldly going" next time. Where's that meme of Picard with his head in his hand when we need it?!

Whatever the sets are, I'm sure they'll have a mix of popular Pokémon from across the generations. Probably the Gen 1 starters plus Pikachu and Eevee, possibly the new Gen 10 and/or Z-A starters, and then various fan favourites from across all the generations. (I'm hoping for Mimikyu, personally.) There's no way they'd avoid favourites like Lucario or Greninja for too long, regardless of which generation games they debuted in.

The TV series will have around 6 hours of runtime in its first season, so there will definitely be scope for more characters & scenes than the first movie could ever fit in, but that doesn't guarantee that we'll get more content / missing characters in Lego sets. Since the TV series is meant to attract new (and usually younger) viewers to HP, I would expect most tie-in sets to be smaller pocket-money-sized sets compared to the larger movie-based sets for adults with disposable income. Looking back at the original 2001 sets, I wouldn't be surprised to see Lego make equivalent sets for the TV show, albeit not quite as many.

I'm hoping that if this set sells well we might get the Ent-D bridge as its own minifig scale set later, but that might impact ongoing sales of the Enterprise if the exclusive minifigs became available in a cheaper set, so who knows. Maybe it'll happen if they did a set with some uniform variants instead, such as Picard's later-seasons jacket & Troi in an actual Starfleet uniform, to keep the BrickLink scalpers happy (grrr). I'd quite like to see a Star Trek CMF at some point, if only as a means of introducing lots of aliens. Give us a "baddies of Star Trek" series of iconic villains and/or army builders; Klingons, Romulans, Borg, Jem'Hadar, Ferengi, Cardassians, Gorn... they could make something both to make Trekkies happy AND have lots of interesting "monster" designs for general Lego fans.

Loving the minifigs, the Enterprise itself... less so, I hope it'll look better in high-res pictures, but the Galaxy class was always going to be a challenge to recreate with Lego bricks. But why so many tan pieces? I get that they might have wanted to break up the monotony of light grey pieces, but it looks weird to me.

The TV series is due in 2027, so I expect one more year of the current "most accurate Hogwarts ever" design, and hopefully the last few characters that we haven't yet gotten, and then probably a mix of larger collector pieces based on the movies for adults and smaller child-friendly sets based on the TV show. WB / HBO / Max / whatever their called this week are gonna want to promote the heck out of the new TV series as a means of promoting their streaming service going global, but the movies still hold a lot of nostalgia for some adults, so I expect that Lego will want to cover both markets.

I wonder if Lego might release sets covering both Supergirl AND Superman next year, both to make up for skipping 'Superman' this year and to use Superman's greater popularity to help promote Supergirl. Yes I'm grasping at straws here, but Lego has repeatedly shown that it's willing to make sets based upon movies no longer in cinemas if they think there's a market for it (albeit usually a Batman movie or Avengers: Endgame).

Since we're getting the full ship AND minifigures, it sounds like we're getting the best of both worlds. I'm sure fans will be making their own bridges (or the whole ship, if I can get enough bricks!), but I expect that the display model of the complete ship should sell better than a playset of the bridge. If the ship does well, I hope we might get further sets such as playsets, but if this ends up being a one-off at least we're getting a good mix of minifigures out of it.

I guess that nostalgia adults who fondly remember the old Batman movies are currently buying more Lego DC stuff than kids interested in "proper playsets". It's a shame, but hopefully 'Superman' will get children excited for DC again, and Lego will have time to bring out something for next year's 'Supergirl'. We might even get a 'Superman' set (belatedly) to go along with any 'Supergirl' set(s), since having Clark alongside Kara on shelves might help sales when Supergirl isn't as big of a name as her cousin. This is all dependent upon Lego finally remembering that they're supposed to make Lego sets of the properties they have the licence for, obviously.

A comic cubby. Something similar to the Sherlock Holmes book nook would be good for comic books, only with a NYC street instead of Victorian London.

The OsCorp set side buildings also seems to be modular, so it will be possible to mix up the Spider-Verse bodega and Peter's apartment with it in various ways.

I'm disappointed at the lack of the Helen Parr / Kamala Khan torso for Reed, and the Thing highlights the need for something between minifig and bigfig scale, but overall not too bad. I'm shocked that they didn't include the cute robot HERBIE!

The HP logo would be great, maybe with some clouds to fill the gaps between the letters (like the black greebling on the Star Wars logo) to give it a solid base to rest on.

I guess Lego has learned its lesson after the giant Black Panther bust warmed shelves for so long, and has done them at a better scale. I'd love to see BP and Wolverine busts in future!

They can't push back Beyond the Spider-Verse; it doesn't HAVE a release date yet! (Or even a production start date yet, if the voice actors are to be believed.) If they actually have a release date they can work towards, and therefore want to delay merchandise to match, then I'm all for it, but i'd wait for some more substantial sources to weigh in on this.

Looking through the Spidey variants in Across the Spider-Verse, I wonder if the "Cyborg Spider Woman" might be Lady Spider / Maybelle Reilly, a steampunk character who might be mistaken for a cyborg due to her mechanical spider-arms. Time will tell, but it's exciting!

Sadly, I gotta agree. So much easier for Lego to have Spider-Man and Batman in separate sets on the same toy shelf and let the kids create their own crossover event if they want.

Hopefully we'll get an updated design for Quidditch players sometime soon; I'd quite like to see the helmets & padding the players wore in Half-Blood Prince (which seemed fitting given how violent Quidditch is), since it's one of the few Hogwarts uniform variants we've yet to see in minifig form. The current Quidditch outfits feature in the Diagon Alley D2C, which is due to retire this year I believe, so once that's no longer on sale I guess we might see new Quidditch uniforms featured in sets in 2026. My dream would be for a Quidditch pitch D2C as a colourful display piece, rather than the minigame versions with flick-fire studs we've had previously, but admittedly that's a long shot.

Welp, that comment aged like a fine blood wine! Not that I doubted it, but I guess this confirms that the uniforms will be the season 3 & onward design, since Ensign Ro didn't join the cast until season 5.

If anything, I'd expect a small shuttle build with an exclusive minifig or two to be the GWP for a big Enterprise set. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see some regular sets, but the hayday of Star Trek toys passed thirty years ago so I'm just expecting big display pieces now. Maybe we'll get some art sets if Lego continue with the licence beyond a single set, and some mid-scale ships would be great, but I'm not holding out hope for Lego playsets (like the bridge, transporter room and shuttlecraft which I had for my TNG action figures back in the day).

I'm hoping that Lego might borrow some ideas from their Captain's America's shield set, a three-dimensional dish shape you wouldn't think you could make from rectangular Lego bricks. No clue if they could make the oval shape of the Enterprise-D's saucer, but I think it would be a better approach than Blue Brixx's design using slopes & wedge bricks.

They gave us the Hogwarts Students blister pack back in 2020 with Harry, Draco, Cho and Hannah Abbott to represent the four houses, but further packs in that vein got replaced by the "Hogwarts Moments" fold-out sets and then later the house banners as a means of giving us various students instead. Another blister pack, or a set with four figures and a small build like the Star Wars battle packs, is long overdue for the HP line. I'm just worried that any such set would need a new "gimmick" (like the magical trunk or the folding sets) to attract more casual fans which would push up the price.

Forgive me for clutching at straws here, but is there any chance that "No Superman set(s) in summer" only covers the June release window, and we might get something in August? If we're still getting info on the August Batcave, is it too much to hope that a Superman set might still be possible?

Brickset recently reported that BlueBrixx no longer has the Star Trek license, and suggested that Lego might be interested in getting the IP as part of its 18+ range. Some big display models of the hero ships would be awesome, especially the original Enterprise, although my dream would be the space station Deep Space Nine with scaled versions of the Defiant, Enterprise-D & Voyager that could be posed either docked or flying nearby. Some smaller ship sets would be great, since the franchise has had so many iconic vessels over the decades, but I fear that Lego and/or Disney wouldn't want anything competing with their midi scale Star Wars ship sets (which is a pity, since a Klingon Bird-of-Prey at that scale would look beautiful). Star Trek has never been a huge draw for merchandise sales, but Lego could definitely sell an occasional D2C display model and the like, so long as it doesn't step on the toes of Star Wars.
