My point is why print arms on a figure to only use it in 2 sets? I guess it’s them trying to make people buy overpriced Death star duel set, which is basically a rerelease of a set, and not a remake. Shouldn’t have bothered printing them at all then. Fans would definitely notice this dip in quality. So they should have sticked to using Vader with printed arms in n all sets going forward.

That 2015 version was 100$. This one is 20$ cheaper and has way less value. I mean no printed arms on Vader is a big step down for LEGO. And blue lightsaber for Luke, what were they thinking? I hope it’s just discoloration in instructions. And both Luke with green lightsaber and Vader with arm prints are happening.

New smaller X-wing is too good ! Surprisingly proportions are good, and new minifgigs are main selling point for me. Leia from 2019 with dress piece and Doddana. Must buy! Falcon microfighter is huge disappointment as it's just remake of EP 4 Falcon, and not Solo version. Still, nice Han figure. Tie also looks nice, but I have 2018 one which is almost perfection, so no need to buy new one, and minifigs are lackluster.

Oh my, new Beskar Mando has arm printing in new set! That's really great to see! The build of set are fine, but everyone is clearly getting this set for that amazing Beskar Nado figure. Can't wait to get this set!

Wow, these are weird assortment of sets! Mechs are meh, but I kinda want new Cap and miles minifigs, so a must buy, not sure about Thor though. Terrible Thanos vs Iron man set with reused minifigs and lame builds. Meh Ghost Rider set , with horrible build for a car, and ok minorities. Monster truck is terrible set with cool minifigs, nice Mysterio and new Dock Ock. And Spiderman cave is another horrible set with cool Spidey suits and bad villain figs. Venom is so overused in last 2 years, he is just unnecessary now. Green Goblin looks like another reuse with new face, but his glider is so bad, why not use good 2016 build for a glider? The cave is just so basic and simple, I don't think even 10 year old would like the build. Hope other sets for 2021 are better since this is a mixed bag for now.

New Mysterio helmet is nice, but something about it looks off to me. Curious to see how new helm will look on movie Mysterio though. Robbie Reyes ghost rider looks weird to me, head should be white and not gun metal grey color.

There is new Marvel Superheroes tv special coming in Disney channel and they just showed off great Tony Stark figure who looks a lot like his Ciwil War outfit! Another great figure which LEGO will never give us...

So there are some cool new suits in spider cave set, good to know. But tbh overall it doesn’t look great, and Green Goblin is a reuse of 2019 one? Why is LEGO penny pinching and not making a great new Goblin figure here? The 2016 one is by far the best one they put out, and it doesn’t seem like they are trying to improve. New Doc Ock looks nice, but personally prefer the old style of tentacles he had in the past.

I figured out why Cap look fake. Look at how bright white and red colors on him look. Legos white is always easy darker than this one, and so is their red.

New Cap just leaked, looks cool. But I have a feeling he is fake, something about him looks a bit off.

New Tie definitely looks better than I expected, smaller wings work for some reason. Not so sure about Shuttle, as cockpit looks too small and probably fits just 1 minifig. If there is interior space I guess it could be a good set for me. Too early to say. Tauntaun and At-At look nice though. Definitely a nice purchase for that Hoth Luke.

Sympathetic to their situation? Gimme a break. They are big multi-billion corporation, not some mom & pop toy maker. Every business aims to make as much money as possible , LEGO included. They are basically throwing away money by not making this sets widely available. There is clearly demand for sets like Bespin duel, and they are wasting it, not to mention pissing off their loyal customers who don’t live in USA. Just my 2 cents.

Again this is a really stupid thing to say. If there is no event to which the set should have been exclusive, LEGO should either keep it in warehouse until next Sdcc or just mass produce and repackage set. It’s ridiculous to me how some people always defend legos actions no matter how anti-consumer they are. They are basically saying “only US customers matter to us, screw the rest of the world”! What’s stopping them from producing more Bespin duel sets? They can make a ton of money by selling it as a regular set, there is clearly a demand for it.

Very weak examples here. House set was exclusive to Billund and not everyone was interested in it. The rest just accommodate production run. USA always got preferential treatment from LEGO, and it’s stupid to compare. Americans always get best promos, exclusives and prices. So stop, your arguments are weak. This set should be available worldwide, but anyone who lives outside USA is getting screwed by LEGO for no reason with this set.

That's just another way of screwing fans from other parts of the world. I mean nobody is forcing them, to release this set now, especially considering movie is now delayed untill may 2021. They could easily repackage and mass produce this set for all the world by next May.

Wow, this Black Widow set is just amazing! Red Guardian and White suit widow are just perfect. And again Lego screws everyone who doesn't live in USA , even after they promised no more regional exclusives! Can we just stop trusting everything Lego says? Why can't they just repacage this set and mass produce it as a regular set? I mean it's just easy money for them and they are refusing this opportunity? I seriously don't get this logic...

I think you misspoke and said Vision mech when it really is Vision jet.

So do we know what series we will be getting in 2021? I remember Looney Tunes series being rumored by reliable sources on Instagram, I assume it will be may/June release to be closer to new Space Jam movie. The other will obviously be series 21. So do we know what 3rd series will be? I remember hearing that Marvel I s a possibility as well as Mario/Nintendo. Anyone have any news on that front?

Unlikely, seems like more of a penny pinching rather than ‘accuracy’.

So, I was just looking over my Marvel minifig collection and noticed that LEGO stopped using modern compound bow piece for Hawkeye, and give home castle bow piece instead! I have to ask why?! It’s already existing piece that they have the mold for, why do they choose to use inaccurate piece instead? This just shows how much LEGO loves to cut corners to save a few pennies. No wonder Marvel line was pretty pathetic looking for a few years.

Yep, Battle droids do need an update. To bulk up body and change legs and arm molds. I hate how the only arm that can hold blaster is straight and not slightly curved like normal arm. LEGO easily could change blaster arm to be better, but they prefer to use ridiculous straight arm instead.

So I guess another Snowspeeder is in the wave?

Haven’t tried combining with 2015 one, but I think with slight modifications Avengers tower from Wrath of Loki set could serve as good base to build on. Hopefully will try this mod in near future.

Just got new Avengers tower and it’s just magnificent! Best set since 2018 Sanctum Sanctorum and possibly since 2016 Bridge Battle. Great build and minifigs, plus some cool MCU Easter eggs inside. New Hulkbuster is cool as well, but if you have 2018 one don’t bother with new one.

So, Mos Eisley confirmed I guess?! Hope we see some other great mini gigs of obscure Cantina patrons.
