So there will be no more "traditional" 15$ battlepacks next year then? Or do you mean they will get rid of them in a year or two?

This sets sells like hot cakes and that is a great thing! This shows that when LEGO LISTENS to their fans and makes something they want it sells!!! Hopefully they will do like an annual poll from now on giving fans options from each trilogy so one them can become a set in the future kinda like thy did Ucs set this year.

Wow, this Bespin set is amazing! Definitely want to get it since it's gonna be sold at Lego stores. And since it's a cheaper way to get new Vader, I won't have to get new DS 2 duel since I have 2015 version.

I wholeheartedly agree with that statement, unless they once again decide to reuse Mustafar Anakin and Obi-wan in another set

How much you want to bet on that? Knowing LEGO there’s 90% chance Luke’s land speeder is in the set.

Nice to get some information on more Mandolorian sets, but honestly I don't get their reasons for not including Kuill as they already had mold for uggnaug head. I mean it wouldn't be that difficult to make new print for torso for a set they planned to release almost 1 year after character debuted.

While it’s nice we are getting new Clone troopers heads, I think skin color is a bit too dark. I think it should have been something in between standard tan color and new one. But I guess it’s best to reserve judgment for now, till I see this new face in hand.

Exactly my thoughts! When they released Obi-Wan and Anakin in Mustafar set I noticed they don't have burn marks on legs, so to reuse legs with "clean" robes in summer sets. Nope, Lego just decided to be lazy and reuse figures for some reason. I mean there's no reason to get Anakin Jedi Interceptor since I have 2014 one and figure in new one is a reuse. Why Lego dropped the quality so much?

Wow, so low res pics were accurate! Both Obi-Wan and Anakin have reused torsos with burn marks from Mustafar set! Now that's a defenition of Lego being lazy! Would it kill them to make torsos without burns!

Yeah, Lego stores all unused molds in their factories as some documentaries show. So no, if they use mold made in 2001 in 2020 it's not considered "new mold". They just bring old mold out of storage and use it.

So even with new pics from German catalog it looks like both Obi-Wan and Anakin have burns on their robes from Mustafar. I seriously don't get Lego logic here, they specifically made legs for both of them without burn marks( I thought it was done so they could reuse their legs for normal robes in summer sets). I really hope images in catalog are prelims and Anakin and Obi-Wan will get normal undamaged robes in new sets.

Just a guess at the point, but there is no way they can make some of those characters without new molds.

Kinda agree with you on A & B, but not C. Lego is already breaking their rule for no new molds with Sesame Street project, so I doubt they will make Disney series 3 just for Winnie Pooh molds. They might do it for different reasons though. I mean we all just hope we can get Marvel Cmf next year, that's all.

Not really, they need to consult with Disney even for comic series since Disney is license owner. So no, doing comic CMF wouldn't be easier for Lego. MCU Cmf would sell better as most people know Marvel from movies and not comics.

Yes, I was also thinking that MCU CMF is way more likely than comic based one. This way we could get missing characters and variants from older MCU films and Endgame suits like you suggested.

There was a rumor that MCU/ Marvel Cmf could be released next year due to changes in agreement with Hasbro. But I think it was said that Marvel Cmf definitely weren't going to be January 2021, but later in the year.

Well in my opinion almost every minifigure needs leg prints. Ant it's not a luxury, it adds details to minifigures. Arm printing though isn't necessary for everyone, but should be way more common. And Death star duel remake doesn't feel like it has good quality minifigures.

Definitely not high quality. I mean it's 2020 and minifigs with no leg prints is still considered ok for Lego to do. When Lego started making arm printing and dual molded legs for cmf in 2011-2012, I thought by this point in time it will be a new norm but nope.

100€/$ is way too expensive! I mean 2015 set with roughly same amount of pieces and minifigs and it was 80$. So what am I missing here? No way it's inflation as some will try to justify this ridiculous price. It's just Lego being to greedy.

I just built new Helicarrier, and I have to admit it's a lot better than I expected! Enough space for 3 minifigs in the front observation desk, back cell can be modified to fit more minifigs, and new Modok is awesome! Didn't expect it to be that good of a set from the pictures.

New Iron man armory extension is ok at best. Love the inclusion of Mk 2, but why Didi they use wrong helmet?! Hotrod car is nice reference to Iron man 2008. But 2 more useless Aim agents? Gimme a break! They are literally this year's Outriders! Very dissapointed that Lego included them instead of another Iron Man armor. But additional 4 slot will surely help me house all of my Iron Man minifig collection as even with 2 HoA from 2019 I am almost out of space for new variants.

This is what was thinking as well! Why not make 60-80$ big duel set from every movie? We could get Duel of Fates, Duel on Geonosis, Palpatine's arrest, Cloud City duel. Why remake a fairly recent set with minor improvements?

Wow, a SW wave with actually good sets! What a novel concept! AAT with Ahsoka is a must buy, Grievous Starfighter look really good, hopefully rumored 80$ price is wrong or I will have to wait till sale. Night Buzzard looks good, hopefully it can fit all 6 Knights of Ren( I doubt), but will pick it up to complete Knight of Ren collection. Not interested in Resistance transport tbh, so easy pass for me. Anakin's Interceptor look like improvement of 2014, but I am still not sold on this one. And then there is DS duel: I don't know why they remade a great 2015 set without improving anything! It's 95% the same build with a few minor differences. Feels like cheap remake. Why not do something new and exciting?

I think LEGO just gave those suits “catchy” names to appeal to kids more. I mean Mk 30 & Hotrod don’t appeal as much as Tazer and Blazer right?

Wow! New Avengers Tower is simply magnificent!!! Great structure with a ton of Easter eggs and new Iron Man armors. Hulkbuster on the other hand is kinda meh. Flat head definitely doesn't work for me, 2018 version is definitely better one to me.
