    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.

    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

    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!!

    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.

    The list has resurfaced on Brick Tap! Escape from Privet Drive: Harry, Hagrid, 2 Death Eaters 5 years later than expected, but it‘s actually happening!! Lovegood house: Harry, Hermione, Xenophilius, Luna, Death Eater, rabbit patronus Hospital Wing: Harry, Ron, Fat Friar (unclear), Dementor, blonde student, Hermione (unclear), wolf patronus Sorting Hat: Harry, Malfoy, McGonagall PS Collector‘s Edition: the trio Cauldron: Snape, Hermione, otter patronus

    I‘m getting it too! It‘s not exactly a set worth writing home about, but I like the greebling and the golden Batman serves as a nice tombstone on the theme
  7. BrickBob Studpants
    That‘d be awesome!! Looks like both DH sets may come with Death Eaters as the Lovegood house allegedly includes Harry, Hermione, Luna, Xenophilius, and a Death Eater. Best case scenario in my book, exactly what I wanted! Also, the Fat Friar could be a different ghost since there seems to have been a question mark after the name. Fingers crossed it‘s actually the Bloody Baron to complete the house ghost collection!
  8. BrickBob Studpants
    I didn‘t see the post either! From the comments we can piece together that there were at least two Death Eaters mentioned (unclear which set(s), probably the Lovegood House), Luna in her father‘s house but no DH Ron, and the Fat Friar in the Hospital Wing, but no mention of Madame Pomfrey. However, it sounds like the list was incomplete ^^ …or fake, since nobody else has corroborated it yet

    Another small update: It‘s not the radio station! Honestly, I‘m really glad about that. Whatever it is, I want it to be directly related to the Upside Down! My money‘s still on the Creel house

    According to @Brick Clicker, there are two GWPs in January, so one of them could be for ST! The other is definitely tied to the new modular, as per the usual. That‘s exactly 13, so I hope this will be the line-up! And if there‘s a non-yellow box GWP, we could even get a minifig or two more! Murray would be cool to get, or perhaps Linda Hamilton‘s character ^^

    I doubt the astronomy tower being taller than the main tower would confuse anyone, especially if the set was less expensive. I imagine such a set would only include the tower itself ^^

    Some more details, thanks to @Brick Clicker: Set Nr 11370, 2593 pcs, ~$300 It‘s allegedly based on S5 (potentially the radio station seen in the trailers) 13 minifigs! Release date Jan 1st! In January already?! Can‘t say I saw that one coming! Can‘t wait for more info
  13. BrickBob Studpants
    The GWP has leaked as well! I can‘t remember one being rumoured, so that‘s a pleasant surprise! It features the Walshes‘ attic ^^
  14. BrickBob Studpants
    There are two pics out there, and you can see the other side of the ship on the back of the box ^^ Is this the first set where what‘s usually the open back is advertised as the front? I mean it definitely makes more sense to display it this way Love the minifigs and the build looks cool too with all of the booby traps! Gotta watch the movie again, haven‘t seen it in like 25 years

    The issue is definitely not Boss Nass himself. Just throw him in the next Gungan sub or TPM MTT and we‘re golden We‘ve had obscure non-combative minifigs with new pieces before, and Boss Nass is far from obscure, so that‘s not a good excuse. The issue is probably TPM itself. TPM sets tend to feature Maul or podracing rather than anything Naboo-related, similar to how AotC sets tend to focus on Obi-Wan, Jango, and the Battle of Geonosis over scenes like the Zam Wesell chase (still mad at TLG for cancelling that remake in 2020!)

    I got cast as Captain America in the TIE Avenger-verse I had an inkling, once you mentioned the PT it just popped into my head
  17. BrickBob Studpants
    Whoa, the second promotion in a week! My magic guessing ability strikes again! Works every time! Except when it doesn't.
  18. BrickBob Studpants
    Boss Nass
  19. BrickBob Studpants
    I love guessing games! Can you give us a hint, e.g. which era the character's from? Or does that make it too easy?
  20. BrickBob Studpants
    One the one hand, it‘s kinda peculiar there‘s an Imperial trooper variant from the OT we‘re still missing. On the other, it‘s essentially just a Stormtrooper with a backpack Plop a Sandtrooper backpack on there and you‘re good to go Minifig-wise, I don‘t expect much from the March wave. I assume it‘s a mixture of repeats and a handful of ‚smart’ minifigs, which, judging by the patent drawings, seem to have a special torso piece with everything else being the same Wake me up in time for the M&G and Ahsoka S2 sets!
  21. BrickBob Studpants
    I think by „modular“ he meant that some people want Minas Tirith to be split into multiple separate sets that can be joint together I remember that idea already being thrown around back in 2013 and yeah, that was obviously never gonna happen, and the latest rumours put the overdue final nail in that coffin Bold statement. How do you know that a majority of people dislike them? Online discussions? Those aren‘t representative of general consumers in the slightest. Most casual buyers likely wouldn‘t be able to tell the difference between the current and 2014 CTs unless they directly compare them in front of their faces
  22. BrickBob Studpants
    The cauldron set only coming with Snape and Hermione is pretty lame, but all is forgiven if they include more of those awesome flask pieces, preferably in new colours!
  23. BrickBob Studpants
    I don‘t see the relevancy of that house for a set. Sure, that‘s where they play DnD and where Eleven is hiding in S1, but it has no connection to the Upside Down and there‘s no way they‘ll release a ST set without featuring it in some capacity
  24. BrickBob Studpants
    Precisely 50^0-1% Just look at all the themes that do get calendars. Each of them has at least 10-15 sets a year, and they consistently perform well. DC is simply too small a theme.

    You‘re entitled to your opinion, but that‘s far from being spam! @CloneCommando99 clearly puts a lot of effort into his daily posts and memes! Lambasting TLG‘s social media accounts with stupid hashtags, now that‘s actual spam! I also politely disagree with some of your other points. While I‘m not particularly fond of some discussions either, the vast majority of them are nuanced and have a right to exist. Speculation (and borderline wishlisting) are a natural part of our hobby ^^
