In Switzerland at least, the only retailer exclusive among them is 76408, which is exclusive to Smyths

I don‘t blame you. The last two years have melted into one in my mind. If it wasn‘t for the LEGO release schedule, I couldn‘t tell them apart If the first wave gets released in January, which I hope is the case, they‘ll be revealed in late October/early November anyway, as that‘s when we see official pictures for most of the January releases

The final delay from July 2022 to June 2023 was only announced last October Still early enough to easily adjust set production though. I certainly hope that‘s the case! If Minions and Trolls deserved a fancy announcement, then so does Indy D23 is right around the corner, but I doubt we’ll get an announcement there. At least we might get to see some new stills from the movie plus an overdue title reveal! At this point, I‘ll take anything

Nah, the delay of the film has been announced early enough for set production to be postponed accordingly. Otherwise, we would‘ve seen plenty of factory leaks already!

In before someone actually takes the whole Art joke seriously: Art is its own theme and has separate set numbers

While a Quinjet would be a suitable candidate for a UCS-style Marvel set, there‘s no way it‘s iconic enough to deserve a $500 set A remake of the 2015 Helicarrier is the more likely option out of these two, but also my biggest fear. Where am I supposed to display a second one of these monstrosities?

Oh. Spoke too soon, it seems. Well then…

Um, Cad Bane kinda at the end of TBoBF It’s not impossible for him to return - this is SW after all - but I wouldn’t expect him to be back this soon.

Completely forgot about that one! So it’s either that, the D2C set, some juicy 2023 news, or no news at all

Amazing idea, but I feel they would have done so already with last year’s Hooch minifig

Promobricks are teasing a video today. No hint towards what it could be, not even what theme it’s about, but here’s to hoping it concerns the D2C set It’s pretty much the only secret left for this year!

Hm, I hope the actual set, whenever it gets made, has a bit more variety in terms of goblins. The new hairpiece and Griphook’s in white work well, but there should be more than just two faceprints Griphook’s faceprint only really works for him

A nanoscale Avengers Tower? How the hell would that work? Half of NY being included or what? We’ve already had a small-scale AT as a GWP before, how would you turn that into a $500 set? This is the MiCrOsCaLe DiAgOn AlLeY discussion all over again

Ok, I see some of the points regarding a third CMF series you guys have raised, e.g., the increased mould budget (even though recent sets have introduced great new moulds too, such as Pince’s hat or Kreacher’s head, but I digress) However, with that reduced roster of 12, it would only make sense if they get rid of the usual Neville, Dumbledore, and Luna variants. Otherwise, half of the spots would already be filled Also, whether I even want a third series in the first place will depend on if they’ll continue with the same ratio between numbered and licensed series as this year or return to the previous pattern. As much as I love the HP theme, if there’s going to be only one licensed series a year from now on, I’d prefer them to be based on new licenses such as Looney Tunes or the Muppets, rather than HP which doesn’t really need the CMF treatment anymore

That looks really out of place, no reason for it to tower over all the other buildings Hope they stick to the actual movie design

New pictures of M‘Baku have surfaced, and his torso and legs are definitely dark tan Still a bit plain, but better than olive green

Thanks So it must either be a location or a vehicle, if icons truly are out of the picture. Something that nobody has suggested so far, yet celebrates the franchise? No clue, to be honest

Well, that much is certain. I still hope they don't scrap the movie, mainly for the sake of the set

Bummer So it's either details on the Hulkbuster or pictures of one of the following sets: Razor Crest, Eiffel Tower, or the Ideas lighthouse. Or a 2023 set list

Sounds like it! There aren‘t many alternatives, after all

Mostly reading between the lines here There is little enthusiasm emanating from the people that appear to be in the know, so it's not unreasonable to assume there's a big catch with it, whatever it may be

Agreed, but I don't think a third series is on the table anymore, and frankly, do we even need it? Most of the missing characters can easily be inserted into sets, and with only 12 spots, they may as well not bother with it at all The focus seems to have shifted back to unlicensed series anyway, unfortunately.

That and the scale. Personally, I think it looks marvellous and the scale is of no concern to me, but some people seem to care about compatibility quite a bit Maybe the Marvel D2C could be similar, in that it‘s a desirable thing in a controversial scale?

Even though there is still no concrete information out there, it’s become pretty clear we shouldn‘t expect too much out of the set I‘m expecting an icons-style set to avoid disappointment

I saw that as well, but it was just some rando Besides, that wouldn‘t make any sense whatsoever!
