  1. That‘s the main issue. Enoch is the only SW character I can think of who wears a helmet with a realistic moulded nose Including it would likely look pretty silly, but omitting it would leave out an important detail… Not sure what they‘re gonna do.
  2. The Ezra minifig leaked as well! Wrong hairpiece, but it looks good Fingers crossed for Enoch next!
  3. I‘m sure the theme will provide some nice-looking sets if they‘re on par with the recent Friends offerings and we‘ll likely get quite a few interesting new parts out of it if the teaser‘s any indication, but it‘s still a bummer it‘s a minidoll theme I get why they went this route tho
  4. The Peridea set is definitely the one I‘m looking forward to the most out of the entire August wave! One new character, two sought-after new versions, and two very welcome new variants. Still sounds too good to be true, but I‘m glad it isn‘t! Too bad there‘s no Nighttrooper BP to accompany it though, so we‘ll have Thrawn and Enoch without any of their troops At least for the time being.
  5. The new Thrawn minifig leaked! Dual-moulded legs and the correct rank insignia this time!
  6. I‘ll buy all the sets since I‘m a completionist (sort of). In fact, I‘ve already pre-ordered the June wave! My favourites are the skyline, BTAS Batmobile, and very likely the 60s Batmobile. I don’t hate the 4+ set, but it’s a nothing-burger to me Just lame. Next year, we‘ll ideally get at least 3 Superman sets, covering not only the main characters we‘ve seen many times before (Supes, Lois, Lex), but also side characters like Guy Gardner. And hopefully more BTAS sets! They just barely scratched the surface this year.
  7. I get it, there’s not much on-topic stuff to talk about, but sometimes I do wonder why this thread seems to be the only one on EB where this level of off-topic nonsense is not only tolerated, but encouraged The inmates are truly running the asylum.
  8. We already know it’s gonna be minidolls though Same as Wednesday. Unless the leakers got it wrong, which is possible, but I wouldn’t get my hopes up
  9. I don‘t think the odds are in our favour for show-based sets. When even the Marvel shows barely get any coverage outside of CMF series, what chance do DC shows stand? We should consider ourselves lucky if most of the DCU movies get sets!
  10. I like the sound of that line-up! Sure, there‘s a ton of repeats, but finally having Prof X and Gambit plus a more affordable Jean is so cool And Morph is a nice addition as well!
  11. More pictures have been released! The orc helmets worn by Sam and Frodo are two unique new moulded pieces!
  12. As much as I‘d like to see that, we have to assume it’s a Skywalker Saga set, since it’d otherwise be the only non-OT/PT set to feature an anniversary minifig As for the BP discussion, I really hope they don’t continue spamming Clone ones, so sick of them by now What I’d like to see next year instead are two Imperial BPs: one Mando-based with three Stormies and a Incinerator Trooper, and a Nighttrooper BP with three Nighttroopers plus a zombie Deathtrooper Something along those lines would be fantastic!
  13. Absolutely beautiful Love both the exterior and the interior, especially the brick-built eye, and then the minifigs They all look fantastic!! I really like the new orc helmet too, didn‘t expect that! Funny that the rumoured Nazgûl has been replaced by Gothmog, but I don‘t mind that one bit! His missing arm being „naked“ instead is a decent compromise. And we‘re still getting a Nazgûl in the Fell beast GWP set!
  14. Really like the two playsets and especially the new dinos, but that buildable ankylo (Bumpy?) gives me the creeps
  15. I‘m a bit late on this, but love how the Eye of Sauron looks in that teaser! Hope the leakers are right and the reveal will happen tomorrow Also, surprised to hear the GWP will be a fell beast, like some have predicted! But as I’ve said before, they won’t introduce new pieces in a limited GWP set. So unless somebody confused the Mouth of Sauron with the Witch King in the D2C minifig line-up, there’s no chance in bloody MORDOR that the latter will show up in that set. Well, not with his iconic helmet at least! He could still be included as a generic Nazgûl My guess would be a Nazgûl and one each of the two orc variants from the D2C set.
  16. We’ve known for a while that neither the Maleficent diorama nor the Donald figure would be coming this year since there were no Disney set numbers that weren‘t already accounted for Next year is always a possibility, but it‘s still a bit weird that only two of the survey leak sets don‘t get released this year (or at all, it we‘re unlucky), and both of them being Disney sets.
  17. I knew the wands would be in an accessory bag! Creating 6 new moulded pieces would have been madness, and the pieces that come in accessory bags technically only require one mould Unless I’m overlooking something, HP is thus the first licensed theme to get two of these in parallel, the other being the spell effects (which I still hope show up in other colours). If they make a set depicting the climax of OotP, they could even include both of them in the same set! Still curious why they didn‘t introduce the Elder Wand here. Granted, having it in multiple colours wouldn‘t make much sense, but it‘s more important and visually distinctive than all of the other wands and thus worthy of a unique design. Or they could create a unique moulded piece just for that in the future
  18. I like the new suit a lot! Glad to see the return of the red trunks. Fingers crossed we’re getting an awesome Supes minifig next year!
  19. Love the sound of that line-up! Looks like we lost evil Chewy tho… Or maybe he was never considered to begin with
  20. That is indeed delusional. The landing pad would have to be several times its current size to hold that set (even just from a statical point of view), and you would have to multiply that factor by 2 for the volume if everything still has the same proportions. Twice the area means 4 times the volume. 1k? I think that would be closer to a 5-10k set
  21. Darth Jar Jar is real, this is not a drill!! The X-Wing & TIE set makes a lot more sense now too
  22. Oh whoops My memory fails me yet again!! Still, I wouldn‘t have expected BD-1 to be included since all the other anniversary minifigs represent one character while this would‘ve been two. …Watch me be proven wrong yet again in a few weeks by the young Leia minifig coming with Lola
  23. I like the ISD quite a bit, even though the minifig selection is not quite as exquisit as initially thought Love the Cal Kestis minifig! Sure, no poncho or BD-1, but I didn‘t expect either of those. After all, he had neither in that video recently Also, Renown‘s hint must refer to something else then! I knew he wouldn‘t do that just for Tarkin
  24. Right?! It’s my favourite set of this wave! The shaping and colours are just perfect, and it‘s impressive how they managed to capture all those crooked angles! The minifigs are fantastic too Also, interesting to have a set without a single main character, especially at this price point! Even the previous Beauxbatons carriage still included Hagrid
  25. Love Gideon‘s new faceprints! The neutral one especially is such a good likeness
