The_Fiery_Rooster

Nah. The teaser clearly shows this is a brick built character, so I expect Donkey Kong to be a boss character for mario to fight, which makes since given his role in the mario film. The existence of the dry browser castle also goes against that rumor, since it proves it's not entirely a "jungle wave" as that rumor suggested. As for the set itself, I really like the look for this new castle! The giant chains are great, and the large browser face is much more detailed than the first one. With the technic liftarms underneath the chin, I wonder what the function is? I guess we'll find out Tomorrow. I'm also curious about the other two 1000+ part sets. It would be very uncharacteristic of lego to release that many large standard retail sets at one, so I expect at least one of them to be something different.

Another piece of evidence pointing towards target's price being a mistake. Between this and the rumored and now confirmed Euro prices, there's no good reason to believe that it's actually $80. I don't know why everyone here is ready to believe every negative rumor as fact despite their being either no evidence or evidence towards the contrary. The only thing I believe at this point is that the temple of doom is likely to not be released soon, everything else is just fear mongering and making mountains out of mole hills.

But the site you listed says 40 euro? https://m.brickshop.eu/lego/lego-indiana-jones/lego-77013-escape-from-the-lost-tomb.html Unless you mean to say the listing is outdated and you know it's actually 50 Exactly, they've made an error like this before, so it's entirely possible that's what this is (maybe confused with the temple of doom?)

Now with the pictures and videos of these sets, I've got to say they all look great! Both vehicles in the plane chase are well done, the plane especially has a lot of attention to detail in how it looks. The lost tomb looks fantastic, and the play features are a nice touch. I'm not a huge fan of the build for the ark, but that can be fixed. The diorama is just amazing, such a great blend of functionality with displayability! This is especially true with all the front facing knobs, meaning you can activate all the features while the set is pressed against the wall or in a shelf. I was only going to get the lost tomb, but that set is tempting me too... About the whole DoD debate, I think Ashnflash had a good point on his Instagram story. For Avatar 2, the only sets Lego had available before the film's release were the sets based on the first film, with the sets for the second film only releasing after the film released. With both of these being Disney projects, I could see this approach being used again. And speaking of Disney, I would not be worried about the lack of a reveal yet. Keep in mind, Lego has tried to many times to reveal sets the day they are released, and they always fail to keep the cat in the bag beforehand. They did it with The Last Jedi, and most recently with the final Wakanda Forever set, so it's entirely possible that Disney wants Lego to try that again. Nothing is officially confirmed, so I wouldn't worry yet.

I wouldn't say that. Last year we had Zane's jet leak super early, and the year before the hydro mech, and we still didn't see other images any earlier. I think for the time being this will be all we've got.

The website listed has a table of all sets for the given theme that year at the bottom of every article. Just click any of the ninjago 2023 articles and scroll to the bottom and it'll be there. The "translation" is just google translating the website, so the other names actually make less sense, but they do list the dragon as " Wyldfires Lavadrache" in German, which means (unless Wyldfire means something in German that google can't translate) this could indeed be a new character.

I'm happy to use this antman build as a giantman, but still bummed out we don't get any minifigs at all. Adding to the box conversation, it's worth pointing out that the box design changed this year. If you look at the infinity saga sets, they have Iron Man on the front, and don't have any minifig Iron Man graphic on the back (even though the mark 85 minifig already exists). Basically, this talk of what this means is pointless, since it seems the back of box minifig graphic isn't a thing anymore. Will we get another set? Hopefully, but who knows! About the other news, I don't mind lego making more action figures. It's not my thing, but they're well designed and seem fun so I don't mind. Finally getting a spoiler NWH set is awesome, but I'm slightly disappointed it's only the head and not the whole statue. Hopefully we still get the shield/torch arm to recreate those final few scenes!

That does seem to be the case, now that you point it out. I'm usually all for wacky vehicle ideas like this, but this one doesn't seem to do it for me for some reason. Maybe once we get better pics I'll turn around. Another Thing I've noticed, this is the first non-core set to include a core style small mech. Could we see this mech system be carried through in all ninjago waves?

Interesting look for a mech! Not super excited though, so maybe some other sets will wow me away more. But I do suspect there's something more going on here. Lloyd's mech has a blue technic pin sticking out of the chest, so I'm wondering what that could be used for. Maybe Arin's mech attaches to Lloyd's somehow? That would be interesting, though I'm not really seeing what exactly that would do for the set other than make the chest a jumbled mess. The villain minifigs look cool, as always. I definitely want to see them close up, but this does confirm those magazine leaks, so we know what the ninja and one of the villains look like. Honestly, this just makes me want to see the rest of the sets!

Now that we know from yesterday's trailer that TotK has vehicles in it, clearly Lego's interest in making a zelda theme has shot up 500% since they can fill it with vehicles. But seriously, I do feel that a set like this (https://brickset.com/sets/80030-1/Monkie-Kid-s-Staff-Creations) for this game would be a fun way of interpreting what the mechanic seems to be. Also, for everyone that was expecting the Deku tree yesterday, has Nintendo ever shown off a piece of merch in a direct? Or even revealed some on the same day? All the mario set reveals have happened independently of any Nintendo news as far as I remember, and I don't really see that changing now. I also get why we could expect to see the set relatively soon (good timing + one of the most finalized sets from that leak) but it seems to me to be overly optimistic to expect that. Eh, Who knows.

I also encountered this error, and I figured out it actually has to do with the piece itself rather than the plugin. I ended up using the LDD part modifier to get a file of just the geometry, and put it into blender to find out the faces weren't actually attached to one another. Spent a while unifying all the vertices, but I managed to create a version that works. Sadly, the file is too large to attach here, but hopefully my description is good enough to help you figure it out.

This seems very likely to be related to that Dreamzzz trademark we saw earlier this year (last day I can say that) 10 sets is quite a few, so it's clearly going to get a big push from LEGO. Also glad to see those 3 smaller sets, this won't be another monkie kid situation where it takes us 3 years to get a $20 set.

Downloaded the update and I had a few issues... Neither 68327, 2391, nor 81911 seem to work, since I can't find them in the parts library and were removed when I opened the new parts lxf. I also noticed part 64799 has a rendering issue. The outside edge is entirely gone. However, there are some parts here that I'm glad to see added! Especially 35635, that part is super useful but hasn't been in any Lego digital program I've used until now!

The other sets also have leaked part counts (from brick_clicker in Instagram) 76991: 367 parts ($39.99) 76992: 388 parts ($49.99) 76993: 615 parts ($59.99) 76994: 802 parts ($99.99) The launcher 'gimmick' seems interesting, and I'm glad they're minifig scale too. Sure, I like the mario sets, but minifigs are classic for a reason. It'll be nice for more sonic characters to get minifigs and hopefully a better eggman too. All I would really be interested in is a large model of the death egg robot or something similar. Hopefully in 76993 or 76994, but we'll see.

If you can't find it, then it probably didn't happen. It would be extremely silly for Lego to revamp bigfigs with last year's Thanos and then immediately abandon them 6 months later. As for Sandy, I suspect they changed him to a minifig so they could easily give him new outfits (This year's space suit, next year's outfit in the headquarters) but also so he could fit inside vehicles (The van). Where I don't see bigfigs going away is for licensed themes. You can't have Hulk and Thanos be the same size as everyone else, and characters of this size aren't going to disappear from these films anytime soon (https://brickset.com/sets/76237-1/Sanctuary-II-Endgame-Battle is an exception to have him fit the ship, https://brickset.com/sets/76192-1/Avengers-Endgame-Final-Battle came out around the same time so also not proof they abandoned the bigfig) However, your statement isn't baseless. We haven't seen a bigfig this entire year, and so far no sets next year include one, so it does seem to be the case they got rid of them. Then again, it's also true that, other than Sandy, no characters that are usually bigfigs have been included in any sets, other than Hulk and Rhino in https://brickset.com/sets/10782-1/Hulk-vs-Rhino-Truck-Showdown, but the full size legs made them look larger compared to everyone else's mid size legs, so a bigfig wasn't necessary. I will admit, it is possible that Lego is reworking how they approach these kinds of characters, like how they how the 6 stud shooter was not used this year at all, but shows up in 2023 sets with a new redesign (take a look at the box of https://brickset.com/sets/80043-1/Yellow-Tusk-Elephant, the trigger is new and the base is slightly modified). Maybe this summer we'll see an Infinity saga set with a redesigned Hulk bigfig? But completely discarding these larger scale figures just doesn't seem feasible for these other licensed theme, even if it is possible for this theme.

These new mechs are such a downgrade from the past ones. Knee, elbow, and wrist articulation has all been removed, which ruins so much of the appeal these mechs had for me as mini brick built action figures. Now, with this design, I don't care to get any more of them, which sucks because I actually do like the bike build, but it's Too much effort to redesign the entire mech to fit the old style. Oh well. As for the other sets, miles vs morbius has an alright build, but it's another spidey vehicle so it's hard for me to care. It's cheap enough that I can justify getting it for the minifig alone. The hulkbuster looks good, but seems super overpriced for the size, so I'm good. The quinjet is very nice, interesting that kept the color scheme mostly gray, but I'm still happy with the endgame one, so I'll probably pass. I'm still waiting on the quantumania set, but at this rate I'll only get the morbius set. Welp, that's less money I'm spending in January.

Having full pics, a few things have changed for me. The mech rider looks a little better, but still seems to tall for me to not look goofy. Cole's dragon looks so much worse than it did from the box, the super low front shoulders and the side profile of the body just don't look good. It's such as shame, because everything else about it looks great. Nya's dragon,on the other hand, is fantastic, easily the best EVO dragon we've gotten. The neck shaping is really simple but very nice, especially with the curvy look implied by the tiles used on the sides. Also happens to include the 2 Core suits I'm missing, so I'm honestly really considering it.

Kind of forgot about that, but I meant more so of the rest of the reveals. Last year, the marvel mechs were revealed before starwars, ninjago, or even city, but in 2021, Harry Potter and Mario were the first themes revealed in mid-November, so I think expecting Marvel specifically to come before everything else that's left isn't the best expectation. I'm hoping the ninjago mech raider isn't a sign of what the Ghost Rider set will look like. The strange proportions are fine for ninjago, but I feel like that tall bike would look ridiculous for Ghost Rider. Then again, most people here think the idea in and of itself is ridiculous, so maybe I shouldn't expect something reasonable from a crazy idea. edit: and now it seems the rest of the friends sets are next to be revealed, based on them being listed in the instructions portal on Lego.com. It still could be this week, but none of this seems to be very predictable.

There are 3 'gimmick' sets that promobricks lists for January, and they happen to be for the three ninja that didn't get spinner sets last year, so I think you might be disappointed. As for the sets themselves, I'm pleasantly surprised by quite a few of these! Kai's car and Jay's jet are the only ones that I don't really care for at all, but they don't even look bad. The mech duel looks pretty good, I like the bulk on the lloyd mech that gives it greater visual presence, and the villain mech is pretty cool too, with the large dish conical hat adding a lot of character. Cole's dragon is easily the best EVO dragon yet, since it thankfully drops the EVO limb pieces for the legs and seems much more filled out than the prior two. Also all the spikes and barbs make this dragon feel more unique compared to the others. The mech rider has much different proportions than I expected, with the bike being so tall, but I still find it interesting. I like the armoring on kai's mech, and the large sword staff also feels fitting for the vehicle-mech combo. Jay's titan mech is an absolute standout to me, I was expecting the usual style of mech but this design just feels so unique that I'm actually considering getting it now! I like the contrast between the thin and nimble frame and the large weapons, withe the shoulder cannon and giant sword. Also great to get what appears to be a pixel-bot, even if it's not round like in the show. It looks like the designers are more comfortable designing sets for the slightly younger age bracket now, but I also noticed that some of the EVO sets are 7+ rather than 6+, which may explain why they feel more detailed than this year's EVO sets. Also glad to see most sets use the bone weapon pack, so it isn't hard to get plenty of them. Overall, actually seeing these sets has me much more excited now!

Nah I'm pretty sure November 15th last year was a Monday, and the marvel reveals were simply just the first official reveals of the 2022 January wave. I suspect Lego wanted to get all of 2022's sets revealed first before they move on to next year, so I'm guessing next week wil be the earliest we could see them. There's no chance Marvel will be first this year either, so it might be a longer wait than we expect.

I'm sad to see the mech is an alt build rather than a transformation, but the main dragon looks really good! I don't see why it needed 6 legs though, maybe the designers felt the need to do something different? There's also plenty of new parts we can see being used here, such as the large blades, but also the curved parts that cover the front shoulder joints, the bade of the horns, the upper jaw, and the lower jaw, which I suspect will be the upper jaw of cole's dragon. I wonder if the other sets will also have alternate builds? It would certainly explain why this set has one, since it doesn't seem super integral to the set itself. As for the villains, I think they look great! They definitely are more interesting than the snakes earlier this year, and the variety of troops reminds me of the ice samurais from 2019. which were some of my favorite villains aesthetically. I'm sad there isn't a villain set this wave, because it would have been awesome to see these guys get a large build of there own. I'm curious if these will be the first villains of the 'new' ninjago show next year, and maybe these 'core' sets will actually be the sets of that season? I could see that being the case.

A strange leak indeed, but I agree that the set looks pretty cool. I was brainstorming a mech-dragon transformer, and it seems someone else on the ninjago team had the same idea, although it's weird the set is called 'dragon creature' and has 6 legs, but maybe they're important for the transformation. I'm alo happy to see the same core suits, it means I have another chance to get all 6. *massive for 94 pieces. We'll See what promobricks' definition of massive is when the set is revealed I'm pretty sure this leak comes from a LAN member who accidentally filmed and uploaded an unboxing he shouldn't have, so I'm not sure if it really means a reveal is soon. How early does lego sense out review copies before the sets themselves are revealed? Ninjago sets have always been revealed later than others, so I'm not expecting much this week for this theme, but who knows!

I'm guessing the story involves time travel of some kind back to the original JTTW, with these weapons and "original" Tang being from that time. Maybe Monkey King too, since he has the binding band on his forehead in this set. As for the set itself, these images make it look beefier than it did on Saturday, and I' very surprised to see it has more pats than the warrior mech, but I still prefer the old one over this one. There's something about how ornate the warrior mech looks that made it so attractive to me, and this one just feels like another sci-fi mech, so in that sense it feels less unique. I do like how the jet combines to it though, especially the wings on the sides and the cannons on the shoulder. I like the idea of the wrist shield, but I feel like it'll get in the way of posing the set with the staff, since they'll just run into each other. The light-up eyes are cool, and the minifigs are fantastic, the villains especially. I'm glad this is one of the few themes to have most of its parts available on B&P, so I don't have to worry if one of these guys is completely exclusive to this set (though I doubt it). I'm interested to see what the rest of these are like, especially a villain based set, so hopefully the wait won't be too long.

I'm not a minifig collector by any means and that's exactly what I want! Depending on the full design in the film, I could totally see MODOK making for a decent $30 build. supposedly Kang's time chair is important to the film as well, so I could see that being included too. It's totally possible. I hope the NWH set isn't a D2C. It would probably be out of my budget if that were the case, and a very large statue of liberty doesn't exactly interest me either. I'm good with a larger playset for that scene.

Yes, but in the past few years, we haven't got any. The closest was the captain Marvel one, but that figure was made for the SDCC set, so it isn't exactly new either. I don't think Lego will go back to making polybags like that anytime soon.
