The_Fiery_Rooster

Ah, ok! Now that I think about it, I do remember there being a large hand in the opening cutscenes of those games. Huh. I'd Love a goomba stack! Maybe it could be handled like the pokey? On another note, I was wondering if the ship could be used as a storage place for extra mario parts/enemies while it's closed. It definitely looks like it has plenty of room inside, but how much of that is taken up by the hand? If there's storage room inside, then it's an even better set!

The airship looks great! I like how it can open up, it kind of captures the more blocky look of the mario 3 airships like that. The black starter pipe/cannon is interesting, and it seems to give 90 seconds instead of 60, but I don't see why this set warrants the extra time. I want to see what the play feature that involves the hand is, since the box shows there's a barcode on the palm of the hand, and the technic mechanism attached to it. Also, the image with both mario and luigi being used at the same time implies some 2 player functionality, though it is interesting to see how all the boxes, packaging, and promotional images still mainly use mario, and only acknowledge luigi's existence. As one final comment, I like the goomba hat, and I actually kind of hope they make more silly goomba hats in the future. I can't wait to see the rest of the wave!

Having caught up with all of season 2, I'm really liking where the show is at. It does a much better job of balancing the episodic and continuous elements of the series better than Nexo Knights did, and the more serious and sinister tone we catch glimpses of near the end has me interested in where this will be going in the future. The pacing still feels slightly off, I feel like some things need more explanation or time than they are given, but it works well enough, and I understand most of that comes to an 11 minute runtime.

Let's go! It's interesting to see that it's all mechs so far, but I'm happy! Pigsy's mech tank looks fun, with the soup bowl body and food based weaponry (like the carrot rocket!), but I'm not really that interested honestly. That sandy mech, however, count me in! I knew monkie kid would be the first theme to make a big fig vehicle that actually encloses the big fig, and making it a mech makes it even better! I love the fist punching feature and the large version of his weapon looks great. That's a must buy for me! The white bone demon mech looks stunning too, really creepy and I love the amount of glow in the dark. The minions look awesome, and it's interesting to note that the marvel mech template is being used outside of Marvel for monkie kid's mech here. I love that mech design, so I wonder where we will see it next... Also, the guy who found them posted euro prices for the Sandy and Pigsy set. Sandy's is 44.99€, same as the demon bull tank last year. Pigsy's is 49.99€, same as last year's cloud jet. If that's the actual price for these, then I'm happy! Edit: looking further at Sandy's mech, Mo has sunglasses and a good chain necklace on, hilarious!

Love how Lego made such a big deal out of revealing them this late just so they could post them on Shop at Home with no fanfare or anything. Like, seriously, what was the point of waiting this long if there wasn't going to be a press release or a major reveal?

Like I said in the Marvel topic, this looks amazing! The instructions do have some issues, however, with some sub builds (like the walkway) not actually being assembled and just placed there, and with some floating or impossible to place parts at certain points (like how an entire wall is build missing a brick, with the brick being added in a later step, requiring disassembly of the wall) but I don't know how you would fix those things, since these seem to be generated by some program. Once I get the final battle set, I'll definitely try to put this together!

If they weren't in this order, then I would say so, but it does match the flag exactly, and the name Everyone is Awesome definitely makes it seem like its about pride month to me. This set is genius, it combines a niche AFOL community's dream with a positive message, and just in time for June. I think it's cool, and as far as I remember, this is the boldest statement Lego has made on the topic so far, but I do hope they do more than just release a set. Make a donation or participate in an event, or anything more than just try to get people to buy stuff. That'll help make the point stronger and not just a marketing ploy.

Wow! Is that really from just the 2 sets? It looks amazing! You really should publish some instructions for that, I'd definitely build that.

Nah, that’s the top of the purple stud. If you look closely, the stud is flat, so I’m guessing it’s a rendering error.

Yeah it’s weird. When set descriptions were released, everyone was ecstatic. Now that we’ve seen them, people complain about the build and figure choice, but we’ve known those for months! Then again, pictures are bound to garner more attention than descriptions anyways, so maybe that’s what’s going on.

Uh oh. Look close at Thanos... he has studs on his back. Hope ya'll don't mind that too much... However, that definitely means that this will be reused in the future! But, who could use the studs? Bane, maybe?

Looking at the HD pics, Obadiah Stane looks great as well! I like all the new prints!

Lol, the turret build in the compound is almost identical to the one in the helicarrier, it's even got similar stickers. I like how Thanos looks, but the face looks a little odd. Looking at the HD pictures, he actually looks amazing! I love it! I think I'll get used to it. If you look through the lower right window, you can see the nano gauntlet! It does indeed look like a red Chima gauntlet.

I love how this happens every time. They'll never learn... Besides that, I didn't realize how similar the iron monger was to the 2020 hulkbuster. It's got a similar torso and upper arms. I like all the pistons, though, and the head print too. I like it!

Something interesting I noticed looking at the compound... Lego has started putting Big Fig parts in the main bag, instead of in a separate one. Does this mean they've changed how they are manufactured? The new head might have prompted other changes in how Big Figs are made.

Well, Shang-Chi and the Eternals were both delayed due to the pandemic, I think it’s not entirely fair to compare the messy release of those sets to these sets that were always planned to be released this year.

Yeah, Like promobricks said, any day now.

Ok, I’ve seen what y’all are taking about, but that just confuses things further. Is the embargo not lifted? Promobricks still says it is, and I see no reason to think they are lying or got it wrong, since they have gotten every single other thing about the sets right. If so, then what’s on the 19th? Some kind of official reveal? If so, why lift the embargo more than a week before then? And why would we know the date of that anyways? This is all really confusing... Of course not, but that hasn’t stopped them from trying to do things like this with every new Star Wars movie and with the monkie kid sets last year. Every single time, it fails.

Yeah, uhh, where is the 19th coming from? That’s way too late for something like this to be shown.

Ahh, so we’re at the wims of whenever the retailers decide to update their website. Wonderful.

Uhh... no. There’s no pre-order, so there’s really no incentive to post it first. It’s really whenever they feel like updating the listings, which is why it might take a while. What do you mean by ‘pulled’? As in removed? I haven’t seen anything that says so. If by ‘pulled’ you mean asking LEGO for them, then I don’t see why that would take so long, unless I’m missing something here.

Well, promobricks has a good point. The most likely website to post these would be European online retailers, and I suspect most stores like that would update the site in the morning rather than during the night, so I think we probably won't see anything until tomorrow.

They're watching... Nah, I'm sure they just know that we'll appreciate any info we can get at this point. huh, they actually are watching! We’re being stalked guys! Aaaand the waiting continues. Anyways, I'm sticking with the full gauntlet instead. It'll look much better than that silly fist piece.

Lol, the gauntlet is just this piece in red? (https://brickset.com/parts/6037408/ø3-2-shaft-with-hand) I'm happy to get the shield though. The fully holographic one in endgame felt too sci-fi for me, but then again, at this point, the MCU is full sci-fi with the tech anyways.

We've never seen built sets from this source and I suspect whatever safety tests they do has nothing to do with building it. It's such a weird source of leaks, whatever this testing facility is.
