  1. Wow where to start. The Venice set is definitely the best one. Peter Parker is the best figure in the set, probably even the entire wave. I'm happy they did the same thing the bootleggers did with the mask. MJ looks oké, the head is perfect but the torso is bland and I'm not bought on the choice of hair, but that's easy to change. Hydroman looks pretty good, very much like last year's sandman. Mysterio kinda grew on me. The molten man set looks awesome. He reminds me of the power miners crystal king. The molten objects in his body are very nice details. The stealth suit looks awesome and I like the fireman as well. But he has a double sided face which with his helmet gives us the McGonagall problem from last year. Another Mysterio is meh, oh well at least he can duplicate himself now, but I rather had an alternative character like Ned in this set. The plane is the only set I don't like. It's just another plane like build which we keep getting in every marvel wave. At least it's not a helicarier but still... I have way too many already, they're starting to look boring on display. The interior is nice at least, but a little bit cramped. The phone is nice, I hope it's printed but probably not. The figures are nothing special. Happy Hogan is way too generic looking, they should've gone with the way he looks in the games. The hairpiece is also getting kinda old if you ask me, way better alternatives. It looks especially bad on a full black body. Spider-Man himself is nothing new, I wish we would've gotten the black/red one, and again the exact same Mysterio that appears in all 3 sets. Come on. I wish they gave us one with the suit from the trailers, or at least one with his normal head. Nick Fury is the only figure I like in this set, his face looks way better and the body is once again amazing, way better than the young one from Captain Marvel. In the end the Venice set will be a day 1 buy, I'll pick up the molten man set eventually and I've decided to skip out on the plane and just bricklink Fury and maybe Happy. If the set included a different Mysterio I would've bought it, but for the most expensive set it's just not worth it. To compensate I'll buy the homecoming set with the vulture from a while ago since I skipt it in favour of other sets. In the end it's a pretty good wave of sets, better than the endgame ones but a letdown compared to last year's infinity war sets.
  2. I really like the new Ernie figure. Although his hair still has to grow on me. At least he looks way better than the previous one (which was pretty good in the first place)
  3. You might be up to something. It's the only other use they have for that piece. Although Pete looks way different from his modern look. But I could see them giving him a modern head mold with the willie clothes (which would work since that's also the version of epic Mickey and Mickey Mouse shorts, compared to the less desirable Mickey mouse clubhouse look) Btw now that I think of it, it would also be the perfect way to get a colourised steamboat Willie Mickey. Just give him pete's hat and the old cmf mickey legs. I'm down for it. Only thing missing would be colourised steamboat Willie minnie.
  4. It's indeed overpriced, but so is basically every set this year, I'm afraid to see the European prices. Still can't keep me from buying it, too big of a Disney fan to let such a wonderful set pass. I hope we'll see more like this in the future.
  5. Nah I don't think so, it would be a waste of a mold if it was. Either they made another exception to the rule or we get a coloured version in the cmf series.
  6. Nah that image came straight from the ideas page. I really love this set, it's even bigger now that I've seen it from more angles. It looks so good. Definitely day 1 purchase. Now it's just waiting for the cmf series. That's a good point, and Lego is known to bend their own rules as seen with Snake in the D2C simpsons set. Still it could still appear in colour in the cmf series. We will know soon enough I guess. Besides, to be honest the set barely looks like the ideas project in the first place. Can't help but think the set might have already been planned.
  7. I love the new torso for Sirius. Wasn't expecting the tattoos, I'm happy.
  8. There are tons of versions they could make for Donald. There's the Duck Avenger/Superdonald, 3 musketeer, Kingdom hearts (which has many versions of its on), Quack Pack, Black Suit, classic Donald (although requires a new head mold) Angry Donald, Three Caballeros Donald (black bowtie and white buttons on his shirt + new hat) or even the one from the new caballeros show with the armor(although technically his ancestor). Navy Donald from Ducktales, Fire Fighter Donald among many more. Some of these are definitely popular enough (at least in Europe) to get a figure, others not so much.
  9. If they're gonna give us the red pants again we better get midlegs to make it stand out more from the last one (otherwise it would just be cmf Mickey with the ideas head). I wonder...
  10. I really like this set. It turned out almost exactly how I wanted it to be. Still I wonder why there are no animals. Anyway the boat looks really good, I'm happy it now actually fits the minifigures (even though Mickey wouldn't be able to fit his hat while behind the helm. Ofcourse the set is missing Pete, but I wasn't really expecting him, just hoping he's in the cmf series 2. Overal a great set, day 1 buy for sure.
  11. Loved the trailer. I'm happy those suits actually appear, otherwise they would've been useless. Most of them look pretty accurate to the figures except for War machine, kinda a shame.
  12. Now you give me high hopes xD On a sidenote, I made a small edit for myself to see how dumbledore will look like with the right body, I really like him, can't wait to get my hands on him.
  13. Tbh I think they might use the Doctor Who hairpiece for Ernie or the Alfred one. For Stan I think they will use a recolour of the new police cap (I believe it's from cmf series 9, but the mold might have slightly changed over the years as seen in set 60042)
  14. I never heard that Rumor/speculation? Would be cool but idk about it.
  15. Omg I love these so much. From what I can tell, Ron looks definitely the weakest, not bad but he just doesn't have anything special, torso also looks a bit different than the one on the movie, but that's hard to see so I'm not sure. The new Harry looks really good, I like the torso and the head works better on this figure. Fleur (imagining the other body) looks alright, but the dress definitely needs printing. At least the torso makes up for it. Hermione looks absolutely amazing, I'm not even mad about the head reuse because it fits so well. Hair is also perfect. The torso is the best part, although I'm not a huge fan of the printed time turner, oh well could still kinda work as a necklace. I'm happy they switched dumbledore and Fleur around so we get a better look at the amazing new torso they gave him. I would almost go as far and say that this might be my favourite Dumbledore yet. I think the new hat colour could even work for philosopher's stone Dumbledore. I wonder if his face print is new or the one from last year's sets, not sure. I think it's now absolutely save to say TheRandomBlocker was 100% right, if anyone still had any doubts. Overal I love these figures, way better than what I saw from the first task set.
  16. So for anyone that still doubted the Knight Bus, here's the confirmation. I've got to say, the torso is looking better than last time, it's not too different because the torso was pretty good last time, but they did the colours right this time around. I wonder what the remaining parts will look like.
  17. But that fight doesn't even happen in the clock tower and the courtyard battle happens in front of the great Hall (which we already have). The only movie where the clock tower plays a big role is in poa, so it's really now or never. The only important scene from deathly hallows that happens there is the one where Neville blows up the bridge.
  18. That doesn't really sound like the clock tower. It should look like an update to the old set. Perhaps it's really just a random watchtower after all as the leaked set name implied. But since you mentioned before that the sets looked kinda unfinished, maybe they just put something together real quick with just some features we can expect (dance floor). Very interesting piece of information
  19. Oh not at all I know the difference between cmf quality and that of sets. (Although we've been spoiled pretty much on both sides last year ) Ofcourse I didn't expect arm or leg printing, (Marvel has shown me plenty of times what we should expect xD), although it would've been nice to see it on these figures in particular (well Fleur doesn't really have a need for them). Ofcourse Harry is poorly lit, but I still think he will look too dark. The red in the original costume (as well as the first figure) resembles the classic red brick colour a little bit better, and the printing will probably look still a little bit off because it's printed on black. It won't look bad, but I personally just prefer more colourfull figures, like people preferred a brown clothed Quirrel above the black one we got (although that one didn't really bother me) Other parts also dissapoint me a little, especially 2 of the faces, but I understand the decision and (as we've seen) Lego made good use of the budget they saved with this choice. Still I'm gonna buy the set because it's Lego, and the great thing about Lego is that you can build whatever you want. Although the figures dissapoint me, they bring me the perfect pieces to create versions I do like, in the end that's what Lego is all about. Btw thanks for the tip about Intertoys, didn't know there was going to be a sale, might check it out.
  20. True, I always wait with my final judgment until we see the full sets, not that's it's gonna matter, going to buy them anyway Btw isn't Cedric's face different from the one shown earlier? Also I only just noticed how similar Buckbeak is to the one from the book, it looks almost the exact same besides the printing. Perhaps it's a good hint to what the wings will look like?
  21. I'm gonna be really controversial here, but I'm not too big of a fan of these figures. I mean Harry's face looks really good, the hair is meh, but the torso looks way too dark, you can barely see the red and Hogwarts logo and it's missing the yellow lines like on CMF Cedric's pants. By the looks of it they used the wrong outfit. Harry should've had a jacket like Cedric. Preferably with double moulded black/Red arms and yellow stripes as printing, but since Lego wouldn't do that black would've worked. I guess Lego also doesn't do mid leg printing in normal sets, again missing the stripes, and the robes for the other version. I think I like the original printing better. Cedric looks okay, head looks just meh but is easy to change, torso printing looks a little too dark but way better than Harry, still missing the yellow stripes on arms and legs. The reuse of snapes legs looks kinda lazy, but it blends in with the torso so it's fine I guess. Fleur's face looks terrible, I definitely need something else for that. The colours of the torso look wrong in my opinion, but that's probably because of the lightning in the movie, besides that it looks alright. Kinda thinks she should've used midlegs since she's supposed to be the same hight as Harry. The arms and legs look a little bit too dark in my opinion, first time ever I think Lego's standard colours don't work, but nothing they could've done about that. Krum has got to be my favorite figure. They did the torso just right. Still missing leg printing, oh well. A shame about the face, but could've seen that coming since Lego also left out the beard in the game. Overall these figures aren't bad, but they've many flaws and are a huge let down compared to last year. Still the leaked yule ball torsos give me high hopes for the other sets since they look just perfect.
  22. Didn't expect these to leak that soon. The Patronus looks absolutely amazing, beautiful new piece. It appears the horns are a different material. Buckbeak looks fine, but a little bit boring. I'm missing the feathers on the neck the original one had and the unmoveable back legs should be a thing of the past. But I'll wait with my final judgement until I've seen him with the wings. 1 thing is certain for me, he won't beat last year's thestral.
  23. Meh close enough. Bricklink it is! For real though, what's up with faceprints these days, is Lego even trying anymore? They already saved tons of money on the endgame prints, hope the rest of WW will be different.
  24. Omg, Krum looks horrible. Luckily I still have the old Krum head, kinda outdated but way better than this. Is there any other head that could work? Also, speaking about the DATDA classroom. The only interesting scenes they can do are the pixie scene from Cos and the bogart scene from PoA. I can't help but think both ships have sailed by now, probably takes a long time until we could see them.
  25. Tbh I really like these sets. The hall of armor kinda looks like the old room underneath Malibu Mansion, I'm happy they gave Dum-E the dunce hat, hope it's printed, probably not. Igor looks kinda weird, but somehow it works for me, really interesting way to do the head. I was afraid it would be as big as the hulk buster. The new iron man mk something that's included is kinda a waste of figures in my opinion, it looks exactly like the compound one but with different arms (I hope I'm mistaken) and the outriders are even more useless. I rather had Tony Stark and Pepper Pots but oh well. The compound looks nice as well, but nothing too special. Again waste of outriders, minifigure selection isn't too great overall. The car design looks weak, almost like a juniors set. The helicopter as well. This is a set I only want for the build, maybe the bigfigs. I wonder where we can find the other infinity stones. I think if they combined this set with the captain America one, replacing the car and helicopter with the motorbike (which looks way better from different angles) it would have been way better. In the end this wave is pretty weak compared to last year, gonna pick up half.
