    Or else what? I WILL NOT CAVE IN TO YOUR DEMANDS

    And the inmate screaming the loudest? The monster we’ve helped create? The jonkler who will come for us all soon enough is Turt-El!

    But we’ll already get three of them! What’s more epic than Batman sitting in a Batmobile?

    That’s quite funny because I have four Helgas, and it’s the only portrait I have more than three copies of!

    What we can infer from the drawing is that Lupin will keep the same hairpiece and that Penelope has an asymmetrical hairpiece, likely the “hair over shoulder” one introduced in 2009 (sometimes referred to as the Heather hairpiece). As for the Dementor, that could go either way. The two hood pieces still co-exist, after all!

    Frankly, yes. As @zoth33 points out, these are the final images. They were leaked by a retailer and have no watermarks, which means they were already sent out by TLG, ready to be used once the set is revealed. Besides, it’s a rare occasion when finalised-looking sets still get updated. Usually, those would be obviously preliminary pictures with 3D-printed prototypes of new elements, white placeholder minifigs, or other stand-ins ^^ Speaking of the leak: a thought crossed my mind, namely that our chances for a GWP aren’t that great. The fact a retailer already had pictures implies a retail release is imminent, in which case a GWP tied to the set makes little sense. Set-specific GWPs are only given away for sets that remain exclusive for the first three months or so. Of course, there are two ways around this: A) the GWP, if it exists, is not tied to the set but given away for purchases of sets from other themes too (which is highly unlikely), or B) it wasn’t the fault of Thalia to release the image immaturely, it was TLG who sent out the picture wayyy too early. In that case, it’s possible that retailers will still only actually receive the set in April or so.

    Not really. The Landspeeders were always at the same scale until the UCS version came out, and there are no microfighter or 4+ versions of it. The best comparison is probably the Razor Crest that got a playset, a UCS version and a microfighter in an even shorter timespan Or X-Wings, which frequently get multple iterations in short timespans, including a mech

    But the Raft is a prison, not an asylum. WE’RE DOOMED I TELL YOU, DOOOOOMED Yeah, before the X-Mansion reaches its EOL and the prints leave circulation!

    Hell has officially frozen over, as Turt-El is now watching Marvel movies And unlike DC, Marvel has no aslume. What do we do??
  10. BrickBob Studpants
    The 4+ Grogu set has also been rendered! It’s okay for what it is, I guess
  11. BrickBob Studpants
    Personally, I’m hoping for Disney S4 The previous three are still among my favourites and there’s so much they can still do! Either that or a new license.
  12. BrickBob Studpants
    The May UCS set is reportedly gonna be Mando’s N1 with a new Grogu piece! Sounds great!! Hopefully the new piece already shows up in the $10 set! Probably not, as the leakers surely would’ve brought it up already, but a man can hope ^^
  13. BrickBob Studpants
    Yeahhhhh. The Dumbledore vs Grindelwald plot should’ve been its own movie, rather than awkwardly being shoehorned into the FB story. The two plots never properly meshed, so it really wasn’t a surprise when the whole thing fell apart in the end Not sure how well collectable creatures would do, might be a bit too niche I’m afraid
  14. BrickBob Studpants
    You’ve provided us with plenty of sidesplitters since you’ve joined, but this might be your funniest joke yet The mere thought of an R-rated LEGO film has me dying
  15. BrickBob Studpants
    Couldn‘t agree more! To me, the quality has been up there ever since the theme got brought back, but this is a particularly good wave ^^ Sure, I‘m biased since there are two sets here I’ve wanted since 2010, one of which is even better than my lofty expectations for it (Hagrid‘s motorbike) and the other (Lovegood house) only has two small caveats. But even the others are great, creepy faces aside Looks like they‘re cooking next year in general Maybe not so much with the upcoming smart brick stuff, but Marvel, DC, Minecraft, Speed Champions, and HP all have excellent 1HY waves!
  16. BrickBob Studpants
    They didn‘t want to spoil it I suppose Curious to see what the actual pieces are to accomodate Hagrid standing there!
  17. BrickBob Studpants
    It‘s only one set, namely Vecna‘s house from Season 5! It‘s dark blue and white, just like in the show, and it splits apart ^^ We don‘t have good pictures of the interior, but the grandfather clock from season 4 is there and a sticker showing Vecna‘s „mind prison“. The minifigs are Vecna, Eleven, Mike, Dustin, Lucas, Max, Will, Nancy, Jonathan, Steve, Robin, Mr Whatsit, and Holly (Mike & Nancy‘s sister).
  18. BrickBob Studpants
    Doesn‘t matter. The important part is that non-gimmick $10 sets are back on the menu, boys!
  19. BrickBob Studpants
    The F1 movie tie-in set has been revealed! Surprisingly, it includes both Brad Pitt‘s and Damson Idris‘ characters
  20. BrickBob Studpants
    Yes, the best wave in quite some time
  21. BrickBob Studpants
    My work here is done, another set willed into existence Jeez, it‘s getting scary how many specific things I openly wanted that have become a reality recently. Combine this with all the sets that are suspiciously related to long-running jokes on here (like wolverised venomarine and UCS Dobby‘s sock), and we have enough material to start a full-on conspiracy theory WHICH OF YOU JONKLERS SECRETLY WORKS FOR TLG Anything I should openly wish for in time for the 2HY sets?
  22. BrickBob Studpants
    Arm printing on both Iron Man minifigs and finally a new faceprint for Tony, plus an extra angry Hulk faceprint? Looks like Xmas came early this year Even the venomised Wolverine looks cool!
  23. BrickBob Studpants
    We do, in March
  24. BrickBob Studpants
    Wow, these look much better than I thought!! The Spider-Man 3 and AoU mini dioramas are pretty fantastic in my eyes and that buildable Iron Man also looks great to me! Love the new Ghost Rider and that new flame piece that also shows up in one of the Harry Potter sets ^^ Mysterio‘s skeleton faceprint is noteworthy too! And of course, SM3 Venom! It‘s not often I‘m excited for a Venom minifig!
  25. BrickBob Studpants
    You‘re right!! So we went from 2 prints to 6!! Impressive! Hopefully we get at least one more Death Eater in the 2HY sets so we can display all 4 of the new ones simultaneously without being multiple copies Has anyone figured out yet whose masks the new designs are based on?
