    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.

    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

    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!

    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)

    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
  6. 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!

    He’s so OP, he gets beaten in most fights, and has to be rescued by other characters multiple times Something tells me you didn’t even watch it. You’re tearing me apart, Turt-El! That means Superman can show up! After all, he flies like a bee, not like a bird. Actually, he has no wings, so he flies like neither of them. Batman has wings though… BAN HIM FROM HIS OWN GAME
  8. BrickBob Studpants
    I thought that was a joke on Discord because they didn’t know his actual name So they avoid the spoiler by calling him Mr Whatshisface? Or will that be his codename in the show too?
  9. BrickBob Studpants
    Do we expect the patroni to be glittery trans-light blue again or trans-light blue satin instead? That colour was introduced in 2020 I think, so after the first patroni already came out, and they probably stuck with the original colour until 2022 for the sake of consistency. Since it’s pretty much a reboot now, they could easily switch colours ^^ Personally, I’m fine with either option
  10. BrickBob Studpants
    Interesting! So this set does have a spoiler for S5, namely that The minifig selection is even better than expected! I’d rather have this character and Holly over another Joyce and Hopper ^^
  11. BrickBob Studpants
    Holly makes sense! Looks like she might get a bigger role in S5? But when does the spoiler character ever wear a fedora?
  12. BrickBob Studpants
    Wow, what a neat surprise!! Looks great! Quite a few new hairpieces and faceprints! Poor Jonathan got the short end of the stick with that overused bland faceprint. Quite funny that they all have normal legs now! Who are the guy in the fedora and the girl next to him tho?
  13. BrickBob Studpants
    That’d be kinda hilarious, but if we’re lucky, they won’t mix smart and dumb minifigs and most people can safely skip the smart brick sets And making smart minifigs of random side characters would be an incredibly boneheaded idea.
  14. BrickBob Studpants
    Heresy!! Don’t you dare contradict the mighty Turt-El (gonna steal that from @CloneCommando99)! He says it’s bad because Soup flies like a bee, which is not good :/ HIS WORD IS FINAL
  15. BrickBob Studpants
    I’m really glad it’s only the OT (so far) because the likelihood of a character ending up only being represented by a smart minifig is very close to 0. With the PT or Mando, there’d be a real risk of a smart minifig being the first (and perhaps only) version of a desirable character Same goes for the builds. Looks like it’s all stuff we’ve had dozens of times before
  16. BrickBob Studpants
    Marvel isn’t mentioned among the themes that do get smart bricks (i.e., Star Wars, Pokémon, Animal Crossing, Bluey, Friends, and Technic), but it can’t be ruled out A Hulkbuster and a buildable Groot
  17. BrickBob Studpants
    Objectively, yes, but I don’t collect the modulars, sadly! I had no space for them when they started in 2007 and now it’s too late with the absurd aftermarket prices And I still wouldn’t have space given how many there are So I should’ve said among the themes and subthemes that I personally collect ^^ But yeah, getting the rest of the main cast is a dream come true! Hopefully we get a lot of new faceprints! The ones in the Goonies Ideas set, which provides a nice comparison with a similar character constellation, are all fitting, but they did recycle a few too, so hopefully that can be avoided here. I’d hate for Steve for instance to be blemished by another reuse of the Henry faceprint from PotC they keep using for Spidey, Ant-Man, and now Brand from the Goonies set Nancy getting the Jyn Erso / Black Widow faceprint is unavoidable I’m afraid.
  18. BrickBob Studpants
    The set allegedly really is the Creel House! Steve, Robin, and Vecna are also rumoured to be included! It’s rare when a set releasing on Jan 1st already has set of the year potential Edit: Ninja’d!
  19. BrickBob Studpants
    The entire smart brick system will be forgiven if that’s a feature
  20. BrickBob Studpants
    They won’t. I think the main reason they don’t do this kind of side printing is because the print might rub off if you move the arms too much Nobody’s gonna lose sleep over warning labels rubbing off
  21. BrickBob Studpants
    At least they don’t have a lightsaber grafted onto their right hand and a non-removable head
  22. BrickBob Studpants
    Yeah, I get that the side prints have to be on there for safety reasons, but that does look pretty bad Fingers crossed the smart minifigs will only depict characters and versions we’ve had before! Imagine having a desirable new character, only for it to be ruined by the back and side printing Also, the hips and torso are fused together.
  23. BrickBob Studpants
    Friggin FINALLY! And nothing of value was lost. I hope 2012 Bruce Wayne’s (currently Lex’s), Syril Karn’s, and Kaz’s (currently Bruce’s) faceprints are next
  24. BrickBob Studpants
    A (headless) farm boy Luke smart minifig leaked! Other smart minifigs will reportedly include training Luke, pilot Luke, Han, Chewy, Vader, Palpatine, Yoda, and Greedo, plus more. Told ya it’s all OT sets (at least so far) Damn my powers of manifestation!!
  25. BrickBob Studpants
    Yeah, Batman as an IP is way too violent for LEGO in general. That’s why the new CEO, John L. Ego, has cancelled the theme and will personally annihilate every single copy of all DC sets with a sledgehammer.
