The Hocus Pocus set has just been revealed Very impressive build and three new parts, technically!

What I still don‘t get about the whole Batgirl situation is why they didn‘t release it theatrically. Of course a tax write-off brings more money than releasing a streaming-exclusive movie that has no way to actually make a direct profit (unless a ton of people subscribe just for that). A theatrical release easily would have grossed a lot more than that write-off Sure, there have been many reports that the movie wasn‘t cinematic enough, but even then it surely would have performed just fine. If Sony felt Morbius was okay to release, WB should have thought the same about Batgirl But yeah, Aquaman 2 is pretty safe IMO. Cancelling a theatrical movie is an entirely different beast I think.

That piece very likely stems from the Hocus Pocus Ideas set

Yeah, that makes sense! I was only thinking of the three witches, rather than the kid characters. That piece is a near-perfect match.

In his IG story, @Brick Clicker is hinting at the potential appearance of a hair/wizard hat combo piece that leaked a while ago and would have been part of a cancelled Vidiyo wave. He doesn‘t say where it might be included, but Gringotts could be an option, like for a random customer The Hocus Pocus Ideas set is another option of course, but none of the witches have hair or hats like that… Or maybe it’s a Halloween-themed BAM piece

JSpielwaren posted a video of the NWH set on IG, showcasing the minifigs. I‘m not sure if the set actually comes with the unmasked Spidey faces shown here, or if they just added them for the video

Sure, but it‘s not like that has stopped them before. The owl post office wasn‘t in the movies either, and yet it‘s featured in the WWW set. Or how about Lupin‘s wolf patronus, which has never appeared before, not even in the books? If they can justify that, adding Bill should be pretty straightforward as he canonically works there. Just like the post office, his inclusion would tie in with the theme park And it‘d be a nice incentive for minifig collectors.

No surprise there. After the Flash set got cancelled, it was pretty obvious that any other potential DCEU set (which 76222 likely would have been) was toast as well

That‘s quite a high number of new moulds this would require, especially for an 18+ set Humanoid characters that can easily be translated into minifigs are always a lot more likely

Huh, haven‘t realised before the leak that Sabine now has a grey helmet in the show. I don‘t dislike the new look, but I was kinda hoping for a dark pink one as the dark red piece we got back in the day wasn‘t overly accurate Nonetheless, even just judging by the descriptions and small handful of leaks, the September wave is easily looking like the best wave this year. Hopefully the sets will live up to the hype

I definitely wouldn‘t mind another set in the Villain Icons style, be it heroes or more villains It looks great on display and the minifigs are simply amazing. They fit in extremely well with the CMF series!

The fact you can display the minecart system either below or next to the bank itself is definitely a relief to hear. Gives me more options for rearranging things on top of my display cabinets @Brick Wizard001 Huh, I didn‘t even think of Mundungus, that would be another really good choice! Also, I‘m really glad now that Gringotts is a separate set rather than a part of DA. It‘s just a shame it took them three entire years to do it

It’s a GWP (gift with purchase) to go along with the Batcave, but currently only available in Asia. It’s unknown whether the coin‘s going to be distributed in the rest of the world at a later date I‘d definitely like to have one, would go well with the Mario coins!

I like the sound of that 13 minifigs sounds great too! I guess it’s gonna be the following: Harry Ron as Dragomir Despard Hermione as Bellatrix Griphook Bogrod 3x random goblins 2x Gringotts guards Bill Weasley 2x random wizards This is under the assumption that the set focusses exclusively on DH2. If it’s a PS/DH hybrid, the two random wizards can be replaced with Hagrid and another Harry

Not sure about the vault, but we definitely knew the piece count for Gringotts already Excited to (hopefully) hear more today!

Just completed WWW and the HE I like both of them more than I expected! Still would‘ve preferred something new altogether, but they‘re nicely designed sets and include plenty of neat accessories, especially the Galleon coin. Using a design inspired by the classic LEGO dragon is a really cute idea, kudos to the graphic designer(s)! Hope Gringotts not only includes plenty more of the this print, but Sickles and Knuts as well. Oh, and the nugget piece included in the WWW set reminds me that a trans-red recolour of that piece would work perfectly for the Philosopher’s Stone. Come on guys, include that in the Gringotts set! This year’s budget surely allowed that Edit: @Brick Clicker is teasing HP rumours for tomorrow! That pretty much has to be a description of Gringotts Or at least a minifig list.

Not anymore, it has just been renamed. Maybe someone finally realised that an episode of TFATWS was already titled „New World Order“ Whoops.

Yeah, going the LOTR route is probably the best we can hope for at this point, and even that is not particularly likely

No, it’s obviously fake. The horrible compositing and the outdated pieces are dead giveaways

My favourite 2023 minifig so far is Bo-Katan, but that‘s surely gonna change with the September wave. I have high expectations for Shin, Baylan, Morgan, the unknown inquisitor, and Huyang especially

It's weird, but personally, I don't mind. We're getting a new recolour of the Hobbit hair we likely wouldn't have otherwise Shouldn't be too hard to get the dreadlock piece on BL

Oh!! I had no idea there were additional hairpieces included! My apologies!

That piece has been around since 2018 tho The Dreamzzz piece is entirely different:

So far, most leaks of that sort happened around two weeks ahead of release, so mid-June sounds about right

Sure, I get the reasoning for not releasing any Thugee-related merch. But can somebody explain why they only figured that out so shortly ahead of release?!
