And we now know how they could justify the new piece for Babu Frik in the AC The M&G sets sound very exciting to me!

Ohhhhh, good point!! I just assumed it was gonna be a remake of the 2023 figure, but you’re right, based on the set name it could be a playset! A wave without at least one buildable figure is suspicious though. At least one of the unknown sets has to be one!

YES!! Awesome news!! Time to recreate the staring Luigi meme!

My worries became true, we ran out of buildable characters and are now getting remakes Hooray for Knockturn Alley though!! Vanishing cabinet and a better Narcissa Malfoy anyone?

The Razor Crest is 75447! We also have 75446 Grogu ^^ Sounds awesome! But yet another buildable Grogu?? What was the point of the 2025 model then? Couldn’t have waited a bit?

Because it’ll feature minifigs from classic themes from the sound of it ^^

A leaker might use that wording to refer to a traditional non-themed series, but surely not TLG in a catalogue. They would simply call it Series 29. Using the word “classic” has implications, especially since we already know about 2 of the minifigs. And it’s gonna be 12, as usual

Someone posted a pic on Reddit, but TLG usually provide pdf versions of the catalogues at some point ^^ It’s the usual CMF preview with a blacked-out minifig, saying “Classic Series 29 coming in June”.

Is it fair for me to only join in now? After all, when you guys made your predictions, we didn‘t know it was gonna be a „classic“ series. Classic spaceman in a new colour Brickbeard Forestman Policemun Rock Raider / Power Miner Minifig version of a Belville character Johnny Thunder Ha-Ya-To (or another Exo-Force character) Cowboy Aquanaut

In a new catalogue, they call S29 „classic“. Looks like we can expect more throwback minifigs then!

Exactly. It‘s almost comical at point, where people act as if companies were people, seemingly forgetting that actual humans with thoughts and feelings are working on products. Same with movies or shows, where many ignore the hard work hundreds of people put into them This isn’t an argument against legit criticism, but a bit of perspective wouldn‘t hurt Most of the time, I don‘t envy people who have their work publicly dissected like this.

As far as I‘m aware, they don‘t usually announce beforehand when a GWP set returns. The recent TIE Fighter for instance just randomly showed up again! That said, I wouldn‘t hold my breath. Most GWP sets sadly don‘t ever return once the stock‘s depleted

Yeah, Narcissa with regular legs just looks dumb. I get they did it so she can sit down at the table, but other sets before have included both skirts and legs for that very reason And while they‘re at it, they could also use a different hairpiece for her. How about Glinda‘s, which they‘ve also just recoloured for the Grey Lady? Oh, and a new faceprint. And they should finally use the Hidden Side smoke piece to depict flying Death Eaters. That piece almost looks like it was designed for that exact purpose! If it‘s still around, that is, as it was last used in Dreamzzz sets two years ago.

I have to correct myself, Kuiil did show up in the episode with the Offworld Jawas! I completely forgot about the negotiation scene So the Sandcrawler could easily include him, after all. Maybe even a Trandoshan too to complete the cast of the episode And I still highly doubt it‘s a M&G set. Sure, a Sandcrawler could theoretically appear in the film, but a mudhorn too? Nah.

Indeed. The M&G and 2HY playsets in particular sound great, but it'll be quite a blemish on this year's overall output if there really are no Ahsoka S2 sets. Too early to tell though. Fingers crossed!

Usually late January or early February, but I think last year's list appeared exceptionally early. I'd say within 2-3 weeks I'm curious to see if they're able to conjure something from my wishlist, ridiculously short as it now is. The two biggest things previously on there were just crossed off in one swift blow, after all! Fingers crossed for a Battle of the Department of Mysteries set and a new Gambledore minifig! Beyond that, I'm running out of things to ask for

Some thoughts: I guess the Sandcrawler is the 14+ July set then? I'm curious about the minifig selection. Mando, Grogu, and a few Offworld Jawas are a given, but maybe Kuiil again? He wasn't present of course, but it'd be kinda strange to have a Jawa variant as the only exclusive or rare minifig in a big set like that Plus the mould is still around! The AT-AT being the $180 set isn't surprising, but the $140 set being an Imp Shuttle surely is. I guess that means no new Razor Crest then? I mean, there are still more unknown M&G sets, but a new RC would surely be at least $120 and a new movie immediately getting 3 set north of $100 is kinda insane The Vader maxifig is long overdue. Iron Man, Batman, and Steve next, pretty please? Ani's JSF sounds like nothing special, but there could be an interesting minifig included here! Funny to see that my prediction of the Smart Play sets all being based on the OT still holds true

A lot of these sets sound more like 2027 sets I mean, a poster set and „Icons of Star Wars“? Sounds like anniversary material to me, but they‘ll have their reasons, I guess How about buildable figures in the style of the Harry and Ron figures from the Flying Ford Anglia? …please magical manifesting powers, fail me this time

That‘s an insane list! Is there even space for any Ahsoka S2 sets?! I hope we‘ll get something early next year then!

Bounty Hunter Pursuit? Mudhorn and Offworld Jawas? Ewok Village? Imperial Shuttle? $150 buildable Yoda? Vader maxifig? Poster sets?? This is gonna be WILD.

Yup, definitely light bluish grey! Must've been the quality of the leaked picture I saw. Looks pretty neat! I wanna see the thing in action though. We still don't know exactly what the smart bricks do and how they interact with the tags and each other. I kinda expected a video to showcase the functions, but alas...

And we have the first pics of the Smart Play sets! ...Vader's TIE Advanced is actually sand blue Didn't expect that to actually happen!

I think there' s gonna be a nice balance of new stuff (particularly minifigs) and new versions of established vehicles. Usually I'd frown upon another AT-AT for instance, but since it's a new version based on the model seen in Rebels, I'd welcome such a set Just gimme ripped Rotta.

Seriously though, once we get the ROTK version of the Witch-King and Eowyn (and preferably a Mûmakil), I'll be completely satisfied with TLG have done with LOTR

This is most likely about the smart brick, not its own theme
