Huigberts Builds

Idk, even with a second set I doubt it. The thing is

Same, I've been sitting on the set for years so I can build it alongside Gringotts. I want the full Diagon Alley experience xD. Speaking of Gringotts. I went back and read parts of the topic again and noticed how @bRICKbRAT (aka the one with the suspiciously accurate predictions) mentioned on multiple occasions how he would love a Bill Weasley figure to appear in the set. I can't help but wonder if that's another one of his "predictions" or an actual wishlist.

Not to mention the Grape Soda pin.

Isn’t that just what the source material looks like? Almost every image of iron man Venom I can find (including the Spider-Man maximum Venom animation) has parts of the suit sticking out. So I don’t think that was a lego decision. Personally I'm happy they went that way. I also prefer the half taken over helmet over the fully venomised one, it's a more interesting look. Otherwise it would look more like a robot Venom, now it's more organic, symbiote vs machine.

I feel like if there's a character from the trailer that's definitely not going to be in the set, it would be Batfleck sadly, really don't see it happening.

Actually the Knight Bus was never part of that prediction if I remember correctly, rather the Durmstrang Ship was mentioned. But yeah, same person. I believe they said there was at least one more princess getting a figure. I don’t think they ever mentioned it being part of the cmf series.

Ah yes you're right, that proves that it's indeed possible. Sure it was a different era, but lego never really had any hard rules anyway. That being said, she technically did appear that year, although in another outfit, so that probably shouldn't count.

Mickey from what I assume is the train set leaked. A bit bland imo, but it's alright I suppose.

While I agree that another set feels unlikely, I have to ask, has it ever happened before that a character, minifigure or normal, appeared on the box but was never made into an actual figure? Hmmm, to me Falcon and Winter Soldier and Wanda Vision felt rather pointless. Sure they were a fun watch, but the characters were basically at the same point by the end of the series as they were at the start. Falcon got the shield in endgame, then refused it in the show only to pick it up again by the end. Zemo still in prison. Wanda still grieving, Vision still death. Sure there were the twins, but they were gone again by the end, plus Wanda went looking for alternatieve versions of them in MoM anyway and even that ultimately went nowhere. I feel like marvel just wanted to play it save, not changing the status quo too much as not to confuse the audience that only watch the movies. That's why I liked Moon Knight so much better, as it basically stood on its own and things were drastically different by the end. Hawkeye also managed to change a few things, although I felt like it got ultimately weaker by the end. I agree about Ms. Marvel, I think it started great, but around when they changed the setting it started going downhill. What if...? was for me the mostly forgettable one, barely remember any of the stories. And She-Hulk I haven't watched yet and I got kinda discouraged to start now xD.

Maybe the Batwing simply wasnt in the preliminary images they send to lego to base the sets on.

Say what you want about that set, but back then it was a great way to get Iron Man cheaply. Not to mention it came with one of the best looking (and exclusive) Iron Man figures to this day, at least imo.

Wait, that's not a nano antman?! That looks more like Wasp. If so I might be interested. The set actually doesn't look bad, I still prefer civil war's version of giant ant-man since it looks like an actual figure, but this is acceptable as well.

Ooooh, that might be a dealbreaker for me. I really wanted that cowl. You're forgetting about 76183

I'm afraid you might be right on that one. Wasn't Modok originally supposed to be on agents of shield as well? Because the mcu didnt really have plans for him or something, until they came back on that decision? It always sounded like he wasn't exactly main priority, more of an after thought if anything.

Who's that dog? What happened to good old Nana? Also is that supposed to be Hook? He looks like such a generic pirate.

I can only assume it will be the integrated suit as its based on the final battle. Plus they can easily reuse the figure from 76185

Ganondorf is an absolute must, at least then we have the three triforce holders. I also would like Zelda in one of her more standard pinkish dresses and Ganon. 2 versions for each of the holders. After that I'm glad with pretty much everything.

Yeah I agree, some people think they're un-lego like, but I disagree. They have been almost as long around as Ninjago, technically longer if we count the 2008 trolls, which are kind of the prototype version of what would become the bigfig. I think after 10+ years they've earned their spot next to the minifigures. It's hard to think them away or think of a better way to do them. Especially after Thanos pretty much perfected the design. However that's perhaps also where the problem may lie. With the release of Thanos, all the other bigfigs have suddenly become outdated. We would only get a new bigfig mould maybe once or twice a year, most other bigfigs heavily relied on the molds that came before, simply being recolours. But with Thanos releasing, they couldn't simply release the old bigfigs again, that would be a step back. And releasing a Hulk or Sandy in that style would require new molds for the hair. So it might have been way simpler to simply ditch the bigfigs altogether. Truly a shame.

Dumbledore's army is turning into Gryffindor's army. And we thought we should watch out for Salazar Slytherin. Meanwhile Godric Gryffindor is preparing for war. XD Yeah it's still pretty fun, those are the kind of things I just randomly pick up whenever I go shopping in physical stores xD. It's definitely preferable over the regular books, the art is still pretty nice to look at, but the activities aren't really doing it for me fsr

That would be a dream come true. Although perhaps a bit too similar to 70909. Then again 7783 was a Penguin attack on the batcave as well, so Lego definitely appears to like the combination, definitely my two favourite versions of the batcave. However, let's be real, this is waaaaayyy too wishful thinking, especially after the lego dc drought lately.

Kinda odd how we've known about a 2024 book since 2022. Is that normal with these kind of books? I really likes the original pop up book, so that's quite exciting, didn't know about that one yet. Although now that I'm looking at it it feels more like a backdrop than an actual pop up book.

You are forgiven xD. We know how lego loves their Venom. I just hope we see a regular adult Groot again someday. Thank god you didn't ask for Boromir, that would have killed the theme a second time xD.

A Keaton batcave with Joker's commercial on the batcomputer and Michael Gough Alfred? That would be absolutely amazing.

Well now that dc has suddenly become desirable again, which I wasn't counting on, marvel definitely has given my wallet a small sigh of relief. I just hope the cmf series is able to fill the hole this year has given us.

I wonder if we can easily modify it into the Wind Waker deku tree. It can't be too hard right?
