Huigberts Builds

Wait, I'm confused, Brick Clicker said the flash set is the 1989 keaton batmobile right? Or am I missing something?

Lego Harry Potter would like to have a word with you xD. No but I just don't want another Mk 50 or Mk 85. I can make an entire Iron Legion with them at this point xD. An AoU set would be fine if they included Quicksilver or Ultron again, until then I'm pretty done with it as well.

Oke, I finally have some hope for DC. I just hope Joker will be different from the previous 2. I would love him in the outfit with the Purple tie, from when he shoots Bruce. Not to mention his hair. Although with the heavy focus on Keaton, I assume the polybag will be Batman returns rather than the animated series.

The No Way Home set sounds great figure wise. I'm just kind of worried about the build at this price point. I was hoping for a statue of liberty I could easily display next to the sanctum and daily bugle, oh well. Venom Groot sounds absolutely ridiculous, the previous Groot was cute, but now it's just wasting sets imo. Advent Calendar sounds great, hopefully Cap and Iron Man will be the ones from the Quinjet. Ant-Man is just sad. Can't believe we still don't have a nanofigure for Wasp. Also no way it will outshine the one from Civil War.

1 should be Captain America

If I'm not buying 2 I will probably simply display the OoT build. It's a lot more memorable to me and I prefer the face. Plus I'm not too big of a fan of the roots on BoTW and him standing so far above the ground makes it all look a bit messy, too busy idk. I'm also very curious how the mouth will work on OoT.

Buildable Morris all the way xD

Wasn't there supposed to be a book with Voldemort and I believe Nagini or something? Edit: Found it, buidable Nagini and Voldemort in one. And then Dumbledore's office Dumbledore and Voldemort in another

Well I think lego differentiates the death of Villains (darth vader / palpatine) and good guys (Cedric) or simply children like Goyle. The way in which they die might also make a difference, something like the death of Obi Wan is a lot less gruesome than Burgage. So a battle of Hogwarts could easily feature characters like Voldemort, but might avoid characters like Fred. Than again the previous "battle of Hogwarts" had both Goyle and Lupin so you never know what lego does xD.

Well yeah, I agree, but the difference is that with the graveyard duel and RoR they turned it into a small set where they could leave out all the dark parts. But if they were to tackle Malfoy Manor, to do it justice it would have to be a big set, which makes it harder to leave out stuff like that. You either have to leave out hermione and Dobby, or Bellatrix. Charity Burgage is especially a no go. Etc. Which would already greatly limit the stuff they can do. I mean I'm sure they can make it work if they don't focus on a specific scene, we'll probably get it someday. But right now, with the other confirmed sets and all things considered, I feel like there's not much room left for a Malfoy Manor this year.

Possibly, although it's still a rumour at this point, no confirmation from any of the reliable leakers as far as I'm aware, so take it with a grain of salt. However, your prediction was that it would be an expansion to the previous one, which this one might not be, more likely a separate model, especially considering the price. About the Malfoy Manor, it's on most of our wishlists, but quite an unlikely set to get considering it's from pretty dark scenes, the size (opposed to smaller buildings like a shell cottage, that are more easily made into "cheaper" sets.) Not to mention that lego almost never does Manor like buildings. We're still waiting for a normal Wayne Manor or X-men mansion.

Hmmm, well the bespin guard hat might have been able to do the trick with some printing, or perhaps the workers cap. But they wouldn't be able to use a double sided head on it.

I actually feel like Draco's hat would've been more accurate on Ron. Especially considering in the scene at the Shrieking Shack Harry was playing with Ron's laces/earflaps, and the current mold doesn't have that, but draco's kinda do.

It's a recolour of this friends hairpiece: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=80577pb01&idColor=103#T=C&C=103

They're recolours of existing pieces, so I suppose there's a chance, fingers crossed. I'm glad I made screenshots of the leaks before they got taken down xD.

Whatever it is, animated or returns, as long as it includes minifigures I'll be happy. Micro build on the other hand...

Well correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't voldemort the first figure to leak last year? Before any of the summer stuff.

Meh, I'll guess I'll take it. I hope we will get a christmas sweater for every member of the original Avengers (as time goes by), we now have 2. I can imagine them doing captain America with his shield in the sweater, but the star replaced with a christmas tree star topper or a snowflake. Right now I mostly wonder who the repeat characters will be, hopefully some money savers.

I love the figures. Aberforth looks a bit odd though, I hope he gets a cloth skirt piece, and I will probably swap out the beard for the one in the video game. They did leak extremely early though. At least we are finally getting a more winter themed advent calendar this year. I wonder who the final character is. The pink arm would hint towards Luna or a repeated Mrs. Flume. But the Black hair might hint towards Cho Chang or Katie Bell. The only downside is see is that this might mean we won't be getting Hogshead Inn anytime soon (unless these are repeat characters).

I think you meant Kurt Connors

Like French Fries. Either way, if it's true my guess is that it's the entire castle this time around, no interior, no nanofigs. But what version I wonder. Imagine if it's based on Hogwarts Legacy.

How trustworthy is this news if I may ask? The source (as far as I'm aware) is a newish account I've personally never heard of until this day. It kinda just sounds like they took whatever we were talking about here and added some details.

Well yeah, I get where they were going for, it works great next to the Hobbits, but less so next to the humans and Elves in my mind, and since Gimli is seen mostly next to Legolas it looks a bit too big imo. But I suppose neither one of the pieces would have been perfect.

I just noticed Glóin is using the Owen/Tony Stark shirt xD. That's a bit weird. Also, isn't this the first time in a while that we have had a piece in chrome?

Oke oke oke, wow, I love the building itself. The interior is also a very nice surprise. So many details. I especially like Bilbo's room with the Mithril shirt in a chest. Definitely gonna have to buy this set, but the price is a bit too much in my opinion. I hope it will go down to 400. Now for the figures it's a bit of a mixed bag. I'm very happy with the double molded legs for the hobbits. Plus they even have extra pieces that make them able to sit. Hair colour is also a bit more accurate on the ones that changed. Torso design has stayed pretty much the same, few minor changes, which is fine, originals where great. Also prefer the more expressive faces they gave the Merry and Pippin. Bilbo is a huge disappointment though, as I feared from the leaks he does indeed have the doc brown hair, that really ruins the figure for me. Hopefully we will get the hobbit hair in white someday, but this was pretty much my only hope. Old Glóin is nice to get. But giving him and Gimli the mid legs doesn't really work in my eyes. Will change that once I get the set. The new beard mold feels a bit unnecessary, but I'll take it. I guess it's so that he can use that hairpiece, but that doesn't really work too well in my eyes. The new colour for gimli feels weird, but it also works, not sure which I would have preferred. Gandalf with the dress piece looks great, but come on, still the old hat? They give Gimli a new beard but Gandalf stays stuck with this hat? Meanwhile background characters in Harry Potter get even new hat molds (which I totally love, but come one.) At least they included a better hairpiece this time. Using the same hairpiece on all the Elves also doesn't do it for me. It looks especially bad on Legolas. Luckily I have the old figures so I can combine the two. What I do like is how they made Elrond (and I assume Gandalf as well) able to sit. Other than that the remaining figures are pretty good, nothing too special. Especially like the many printed statues.
