Turkey costume It‘s a reindeer, not a goat

A reindeer costume, a fairy, and a knight

It‘s gonna be Series 18.2 I sense s disturbance in the force

Sounds like the new hairpiece will be used for Mordo AND some of the Avatar sets Wanda sounds pretty unspectacular (no dual-moulded arms, no leg prints), but the new crown print could be awesome!

Exciting news! I wonder if it really is an anniversary series, as previously rumoured! A best-of from the last couple of decades could really be fun

This might be one of the most screen-accurate waves they‘ve ever created for any theme The only noteworthy inaccuracies are the absence of Barry, Dodgson, and Ramsay, plus some of the hairpieces they chose. Also, the were missing

Not sure what else there is left to reveal Too early for the D2C set I assume, the Hulkbuster is MIA, and the remaining sets might as well be delayed DC ones I mean, there has to be a reason we don‘t even know their names yet!

That sounds really cool, actually! Too bad the minifig‘s nothing to write home about, but that‘s kind of a given with these GWP sets (the 2018 one with Ollivander being the big exception)

Hermione and Harry have faceprints exclusive to that set (at least for now) and Buckbeak has a new colour Not much new in terms of the actual build, but it‘s a decent set overall

Funny how

While this very likely would have made for a more impressive set, it probably wouldn’t have included any characters other than Vader and Kenobi. Of course that depends on what exactly happens in that episode (6 I’d assume?), but I wouldn’t be surprised if nobody else was present at that fight, except for Reva perhaps, depending on where her story is headed. Were NED-B and Tala worth the sacrifice? You decide, but they are in my book

Definitely looks better in the high-res pictures The highlight is undoubtedly NED-B with his trusty hammer

I think they’re even the only entirely unknown 2022 sets for any theme For almost everything else we have vague rumours (UCS Razor Crest, GOTG AC), detailed descriptions (Sanctum, Avatar, Atari, Star Wars), or leaked pictures now (Minecraft). Those sets are the only remaining mystery this year

While the 2018-2020 castle sections are far superior, the two expansions in this wave are at least nice throwbacks to their 2002 and 2004 counterparts

A “new” theme that Mr No infamously made up (“Knights of Valor” or some nonsense) Good thing Avatar is actually happening!

Unless that retailer got the wrong date in the first place Not sure how likely that is though. Also, shouldn’t we soon hear about the remaining sets scheduled for August? Unless they’re all based on upcoming DC films and thus got delayed

Built all of the new sets over the weekend, minus the polybag Best wave so far, hands down! If anyone still requests comparison images, feel free to approach me!

Is the Sanctum even a D2C set? I thought it wasn’t because the general release date is August 1st. If it was, it’d be available at retailers in November at the earliest, wouldn’t it?

I highly doubt they'll replace the Razor Crest with another ship of the same type. It got replaced by the N1, which purposefully doesn't have space for bounties. This development is very important for where the story is obviously headed: him ultimately becoming Mandalore. His future is being a leader, not a bounty hunter. So no need for a bounty hunter ship anymore Even though we thus most likely won't see it on screen anymore, it still deserves a UCS set in my opinion If the rumours are true, fingers crossed for a good exclusive minifig!

The new Maw looks so plain and boring to me. The 2018 one was so much better in my opinion Zombie Strange looks cool though

I hope this is true! With DH Neville, the list of minifigs from the 2010 reboot that haven’t been remade yet gets shorter again

A 212th Trooper has leaked in the usual place The new helmet piece looks very similar to the current one! Can’t wait to see Cody

No way. Not only are a lot of these in the same outfits we’ve gotten before, it wouldn’t make any logistical sense for this many characters in a single set to have exclusive prints

Sounds like a decent set! No idea why they didn‘t include epilogue Ron & Hermione though. Their kids being omitted doesn‘t bother me, but them being missing is annoying. This was the only chance we‘d ever get

Nope. The D2C Hogwarts was released in August while the GWP was offered in November A suitable set number does exist, but we have no idea what it is or when it sees release
