    The Daily Bugle comes with the usual Spider-trio, JJJ, Rhino, Mysterio, and, get this, venomised Captain America They can’t be stopped!!

    I have no issue with villains getting killed off, in fact I usually prefer it! I would’ve loved for Discount Riddler to die in BvS Keeping a villain alive just so they can kill innocents again in the next instalment always irks me, unless there’s an overarching story and the villain eventually gets their just desserts in the final part.

    I prefer my Man not killing people Batfleck for sure isn’t the only offender, but I judge his depiction in BvS more harshly because he’s A) an idiot for so easily falling for Temu Jonkler’s plan (the world’s greatest detective my ***), and B) uses guns. Him not using guns is far more vital than him not killing. They are the weapons of the enemy. He does not need them. He will not use them. And the less said about Snyder’s prison phantasies, the better He does get much better in JL though (both versions), and I quite liked his appearance in The Flash too.

    The January sets are available for pre-order on s@h! The highlights are the new 2x2 chest, the grey chicken, finally a proper fox head piece, the Creaking, baby Hoglin, the new Wither, baby Strider, and the new player skins It’s a really strong wave I think!
  5. BrickBob Studpants
    Doesn’t make much sense to me since A) it’s still a character, so the license fee applies regardless, and B) they come with a minifig anyway

    The “DADA classroom” actually being Lupin’s office would make sense, and even if it’s the classroom after all, that doesn’t mean we couldn’t get another set further down the line. The DADA classroom looks vastly different every time it appears, after all

    Apart from having poor reviews, being highly divise at best, suffering from the usual Snyder-isms, having Man use guns, both Man and Soup killing people, Jimmy getting shot in the face in his only scene, Soup dying in his second appearance, Jesse thinking he’s playing a weird hybrid between the Riddler and the Joker instead of Lex, Doomsday being ruined, being overly grimdark, and Snyderbros being some of the most obnoxious people on Earth, they’re okay …I like the scores tho
  8. BrickBob Studpants
    Don’t forget about the two sets in June, he could easily be in one of those as well In fact, I think that’s more likely considering they haven’t fully revealed Rotta’s look yet. I’m sure we’ll see it in the full trailer, but TLG still might have decided to put him in a set that comes out after the movie does. Then again, the two waves are only a month apart, so I doubt the June sets are exactly like the usual spoilery second wave
  9. BrickBob Studpants
    No idea who this Jack Snyder fella is, but does his version of Soup fly like a bee too? Or wait, is it actually Zack with a silly moustache, going undercover? Genius!
  10. BrickBob Studpants
    Quite the opposite, if someone faked it, they certainly would’ve included Pomfrey Unless they want us to think that… But yeah, fake rumours are usually of the “too good to be true” variety, not the “too true to be good” kind. Can’t really get much attention with a mundane rumour, now can you Personally, I don’t mind too much. It’s nice to get another version of the Grey Lady and Penelope is a new character at least!
  11. BrickBob Studpants
    And the best song of course was AP-5’s *clonk*
  12. BrickBob Studpants
    Ohhhh, that makes sense! It’s always funny to me when new SW characters get created because of BTS shenanigans. Just like Agen Kolar and Stass Allie, who were suspiciously similar replacements of Eeth Koth and Adi Gallia and also created out of necessity IIRC Far from guaranteed, but certainly plausible. Wouldn’t be the first we got a random CT set in May! There were the Republic Fighter Tank in 2022 and the BARC Speeder Escape in 2024, after all ^^
  13. BrickBob Studpants
    The Hospital Wing allegedly also includes the DADA classroom and the Ravenclaw common room! Now the patronus for this set makes sense The minifigs are rumoured to be the trio, Lupin, a Dementor, Penelope Clearwater, and the Grey Lady. No Pomfrey, but the previous version couldn’t possibly be topped anyway. Edit: Ninja’d!
  14. BrickBob Studpants
    Did he appear in TFA though? Ello Asty got killed, and I don’t remember seeing a second Abednedo pilot
  15. BrickBob Studpants
    The Demogorgon’s headpiece still exists thanks to the orchid Botanicals set, but I think that’d be too many recoloured pieces for a GWP
  16. BrickBob Studpants
    Isn’t there only one set in May that isn’t a bust or a M&G tie-in? This may take a while then as I doubt that would leak separately Plus, we still don’t have the set list for March either.
  17. BrickBob Studpants
    It’s Leia’s I wonder if there’s a GWP and if so, what it could be! Eddie playing his guitar atop the trailer would be great and terrible at the same time for being an awesome, but short-lived exclusive (just like Eddie himself! …too soon?) I mean we already have the torso print and nothing else is required in terms of prints or recolours, except for a new faceprint perhaps.
  18. BrickBob Studpants
    You’re right!! Didn’t realise it was that hairpiece ^^ I think it fits pretty well. They kinda shot themselves in the foot by already giving them mid-legs in the previous set Had that one used short legs instead, the mid-legs would’ve worked in the new one. That said, going by Potter rules, regular legs are justified too
  19. BrickBob Studpants
    You mean GITD white?? That colour is almost indistinguishable from regular white until you switch the lights off, and then it glows in a shade of green. Neither invokes the appearance of a patronus in any shape, way, or form, to be honest
  20. BrickBob Studpants
    Yeah, definitely not these two because they both have reused faceprints and hairpieces. The others have unique faceprints (Will, Mike, Nancy, Eleven, and Max, not sure about Lucas and Dustin), a new hairpiece (Nancy and Holly), and/or recoloured hairpieces (Max and Steve) People also complain about Vecna, but he’s got printed arms and legs, plus his signature claw! Sure, the colour choice is debatable, but everything in the Upside Down is hard to pin down in terms of colouration and we don’t know yet what Vecna looks like in S5 after getting injured at the end of S4.
  21. BrickBob Studpants
    I don’t think I’ve ever done a wishlist like this before, so here we go: The Exile II (The Acolyte) with Mae, Osha, Sol, and Qimir Battle of Naboo (TPM) with grassy terrain, two Kaadus, bomb desposit, and two STAPs, plus a Gungan, Jar-Jar, Boss Nass, and 2x Battle Droid Bounty Hunter Chase (AotC): a remake of the 2002 set, like the one that was supposed to be released in 2020, with Anakin, Obi-Wan, and Zam Wesell TIE Defender (Rebels) with Thrawn, Pryce, a TIE pilot, and a Stormie TIE Reaper (Rogue One) with a TIE pilot, 2x Death Trooper, and 2x Shoretrooper The Fireball (Resistance) with Kaz, Jarek, Neeku, and Tam The Galleon (Resistance) with Kragan, Synara, Skreek, Torra, and Cptn Doza Imperial Remant battlepack (Mando) with 2x Stormie, a Death Trooper, and an Incinerator Trooper Rancor vs Scorpenek Droid (TBoBF) with Boba, Din, Krrsantan, and 2x Pyke Soldier Gorian Shard’s Corsair (Mando) with Gorian, the Ugnaught coxswain (coxswine?), Vane, Din, Grogu, and Greef Nothing from the OT or ST as these two eras are covered extremely well
  22. BrickBob Studpants
    The Paul Atreides faceprint isn’t a great choice, but the hairpiece does fit pretty well I think! At least it’s better than Kramer’s hairpiece I think people exaggerate a bit with the lack of recognisability. The outfits here, apart from Dustin’s, aren’t iconic… yet. The first set had the advantage of S1 and 2 already having been established, so of course the outfits were more recognisable. I think peoples’ perception will change a bit once S5 drops. Yeah, the lack of leg printing besides Vecna is annoying, but guess what, none of the human characters in the first set had leg printing either At least the torsos are all new I think!
  23. BrickBob Studpants
    No, but it’s still a great set in my opinion! Doesn’t hold a candle to the 2019 set, but few sets do. The only thing I truly dislike about it is Jonathan’s faceprint. I hate it whenever they use that super-generic print for a named character, most recently Sherlock Holmes and Cornelius Fudge! I even would’ve preferred any of the other usual suspects among overused prints (Han, Kaz, Bruce, Henry)
  24. BrickBob Studpants
    It’s actually even weirder than that because two of the January Speed Champions sets can already be pre-ordered, just like the Batman sets scheduled for March
  25. BrickBob Studpants
    Sounds like it. We’ve known for a while that one of the episodes is titled “The Disappearance of [blank]”, so I think we now know who that blank will be! Getting Pennywise vibes here!
