  1. Take this with a huuuuuuuuge grain of salt as it could mean many things, but @TandNbricks said he was „ready for another adventure“, showing the ME map sticker
  2. A couple of wild guesses: DADA classroom (PoA) with Lupin and the boggart Buildable chocolate frog (similar to the one in the Hogwarts Icons set) Small castle section based on PoA Buildable basilisk (or a small CoS set with a repeat of the 2021 version) Knight Bus Quidditch pitch Battle at the Department of Mysteries I‘ll likely be completely off the mark, but it‘s fun speculating
  3. Technically true, since there‘s also a GWP set
  4. According to exabricks, the helmet line isn’t dead He posted this along with an owl emoji, thus hinting at Bo-katan!
  5. According to exabricks, there’s indeed a CA:CW airport battle set coming, priced at $100
  6. They kinda have to be part of the 9 we heard of because those were said to cover the entire year. I doubt the leaker somehow managed to miss those 2 So, now the question is how many of the remaining 7 will be based on the new movie My guess would be 5. The waves for JWFK and JWD both included a set based on the first movie, so there’s a chance they’ll do that again, plus it’s the 10th anniversary of JW, so they might release a set based on that film as well. Or they simply do a JW anniversary set instead of a JP one, leaving us with 6 sets based on the upcoming film ^^
  7. You mean for other themes? Because we only ever had one January wave for HP, namely in 2021. All the 1HY waves since have been scheduled for March worldwide I assume the upcoming wave will be rather similar to this year’s 1HY one, meaning 1-2 buildable objects at different scales, 2 small-ish castle expansions, and other smaller sets Content-wise, I feel PoA and GoF may get the spotlight again after this year’s focus on PS and CoS, though I’d like to see more sets from the later movies. Still not giving up hope for a Battle of the Seven Potters set eventually
  8. We’ve had a venom T-Rex before, so a venomised horse wouldn’t be too far-fetched
  9. Who’s that? Some sort of bird person? Never heard of him Really peculiar how they keep avoiding him for no good reason. Robin used to be in so many sets with a ton of variants, and now it’s like he doesn’t even exist
  10. No, the opposite actually, as the new info confirms that those six sets are all we‘re getting in January
  11. The fact they haven’t done this yet is a damn shame 11 sets sounds like a huge wave! Maybe they just merged it with the usual Spidey March wave
  12. Hooray for a January wave again, and quite a substantial one at that!
  13. Sounds fairly realistic, but I wager they’d replace the Jedi with a third clone (like Oddball) We can only hope, but both versions of Yoda’s Interceptor only came with him and R2. The leakers seem fairly convinced it’s Mando’s That list is awfully optimistic, I’d actually be surprised to see more than one figure in addition to Din and Grogu. Peli would be plausible! Greef and his glorious S3 drip however deserve to be in a “real” set
  14. I’d wager we’re looking at what would usually have been a March wave right now No way we’re getting three 1HY waves again if the January one is already this packed! The wave after that will likely be in May to coincide with the May the Fourth D2C set.
  15. I think it’s fair to assume that there won’t be a March wave then Unless we get something amazing in May, the “2HY sets being vastly superior” curse continues!
  16. Thanks to @Brick Clicker, we know what the other two sets are: a midi-scale Acclamator and a buildable Grogu + pram. Not bad, but not exactly standouts either Fingers crossed for more AAA sets (Ahsoka/Acolyte/Andor) later in the year!
  17. What’s interesting to think about is that Zero might have been included as an accessory for CMF Jack, had he been part of the D100 series rather than S2. The latter had no animal sidekicks, while the former had plenty Maybe just a coincidence, but I think they tweaked their approach a bit in-between the two series. But yeah, they have no excuse to leave him out of this set! We already have two ghost dogs in LEGO form, time for THE ghost dog to make his debut
  18. Sounds like a decent wave, albeit nothing spectacular. Ahsoka‘s Jedi Interceptor has never been done before, so that‘s a plus, but I hope for a cool new minifig here to sweeten the deal. A new ARC-170 is long overdue. Fingers crossed for dual-moulded helmets and a new/updated Jedi minifig! Home One: Good choice for a midi-scale ship! N-1: If it was Mando‘s, it‘d be kinda hilarious to see a 4+ Mandalorian set Not expecting anything new out of this one though. Now I‘m curious what they‘re doing with the March and May waves (if those will still be a thing, that is). Maybe we‘ll get a BP or two then?
  19. We have a rumoured set list for January, courtesy of Childish Landino on IG: 75401: $44.99, 290 pcs 75402: $69.99, 497 pcs 75403: $99.99, 1048 pcs 75404 (18+): $49.99, 450 pcs 75405 (18+): $69.99, 559 pcs 75410 (4+): $29.99, 92 pcs Interesting, if correct! I‘m a bit doubtful these are all January sets, given that the 18+ sets so far have consistently been released in either March or May The lack of a BP is also a bit annoying, but there‘s potential for other cool sets!
  20. The speeches are great and easily the best part of the show to me. The ensuing action scenes… are not. Apart from the getaway on Aldani and Luthen’s escape, those two are cool. The others are competently made, but that’s about it. They’re not very memorable in my opinion and there are quite a few missed opportunities. Take the bell guy for instance. He’s dual-wielding giant hammers and when a Stormie approaches him, he… kicks him. Compare that to the badass scene with the Armourer from Mando S1 And it’s not hard to see why the Mandoverse has so much more set representation than Andor. One has cool-looking characters with awesome armour, Jedi, lightsabers, droids, new troopers, aliens, awesome baddies, colourful spaceships, and classic SW imagery in general; and the other has generic-looking people in brown and tan costumes, Imperials in regular uniforms, no new troop types, barely any aliens, only one droid that sticks out, and only one interesting spaceship I still want the Fondor, but nothing else is really set-worthy.
  21. A lot of Ideas sets lately have been on the larger side, which has become a bit of a problem for a lot of people. In this particular case though, I’m glad they decided not to downscale it. Not only because I really like the build, but also to make sure as many minifigs as possible can be included. This will be our only TNBC set for a loooooong time, after all
  22. Maybe Turtle Man is one step ahead of us and is referencing the very early comics where Superman was only able to jump extremely high, before the authors decided flying works better Because otherwise, that’s one of the silliest movie takes I’ve ever heard, and that’s saying something considering we’re in the aslume here. It’s on par with refusing to watch a Star Trek movie if it’s set in outer space, a Texas Chainsaw Massacre movie if Leatherface is seen running around with a chainsaw, a Flash movie where he runs very fast, or a Batman movie where he fights crime.
  23. If there‘s a billionaire dressed as a bat in the next Batman movie, DC is ruined
  24. I also had two copies, which was the case for another set in that wave as well. It seems like the sword is now the second Minecraft weapon to have been granted "automatic replacement part" status, after the trident At least the iron sword, that is. The diamond one in the End Ship set was not accompanied by a replacement part
