Thank you, that good a really good chuckle out of me

Curse them and crush them! We hates them forever! Precious

Actually, yes. Unironically

Not as blown away as we'll hopefully be, soon

Maybe he's just making fun of us

A buildable Dobby in the style of Yoda or Grogu would definitely be preferable to a remake of Dobby's Release F in the chat for FB though, if that's the case

Wait what?! Edit: Holy smokes they did! Please let this be a sign the list is actually coming Edit 2: And again with the socks! I guess Dobby‘s Release really is one of the sets then, unless they actually did the unthinkable

How‘s that full moon theory going?

Well, out the window the would-be clarification goes then Don’t know about the rest, but I’m still convinced at least 76218 is a DC set

Electricbricks seems to have clarified that 76216-18 and 76225 are DC sets (thanks go to @Anonknee Muss for the hint over in the DC thread) Doesn‘t have to be correct, but sounds believable

Wasn‘t it? I thought we knew about that set number for quite a while Coconut being Avatar II is still in the cards then too…

He also says it could be from another theme, but it‘s a bit too specific for my liking to belong to an unlicensed theme Lightyear is another candidate since leaks for that theme have started, but I haven‘t seen a character with such a hairdo yet

This is also what I thought. Maybe they pushed the sets based on the previous four films back to October instead of keeping their initial release date (May I suppose) to have a better distribution across the year? May and June are already pretty busy after all Still surprising they actually went with a split release like that, if our assumptions are correct. I mean, when they delayed the new Jurassic World sets, they could have left the original date for the recently revealed JP diorama as it‘s not a direct JWD tie-in, but instead they pushed back the entire wave

The other new hairpiece that leaked is a perfect match for Mordo‘s appearance in MoM. Is it foolish to hope for another set? I have no idea who else it could belong to

There‘s your answer Oh, and the Battle of the Seven Potters

They threatened to do that, but I doubt they would‘ve stood a chance What‘s also funny to me is that they complained about the palace‘s superficial ressemblance to the Hagia Sophia, which wasn‘t even a mosque back then (it only got reverted to that recently by a certain self-proclaimed sultan)

Excellent point. If there‘s one thing we should have learned last year, it‘s not to expect anything based on perceived patterns So assuming a heavy focus on PoA and GoF this year is basically repeating the same mistake as last year with our DH expectations Of course it‘s not an unreasonable idea, but we shouldn‘t be surprised if they do something completely different again

@Clone OPatra is correct, they did not face legal action for this, nor did they pull the set early. The set got retired in December of 2013, so 1.5 years after its launch. Sure, some sets survive longer than that, but that’s when it reached its planned EOL. The “controversy” had nothing to do with it, and TLG publicly said so. As I’ve mentioned before, what I particularly like about that statement was that they didn’t explicitly say that the set’s retirement was already scheduled, so the Turkish community in Austria thought they “won”, when in reality nothing had happened TLG pulled an Obi-Wan

…and I thought my reasoning for what tandnbricks’ hint meant was a bit far-fetched Why would promobricks wait for a reveal on a full moon? Of course they need to spread out the reveals a bit to generate more traffic to their site, but how does the full moon factor in? If it even was a hint in the first place, which is debatable, it could just as well refer to Lupin being included somewhere

On a more positive note: Boba‘s Throne Room can be pre-ordered on s@h, at least in Europe No sign of the N-1 yet

Yeah, it‘s just a custom they‘re offering as a GWP in their store

That’d be flippin’ amazing Not getting my hopes up yet

Exactly That’d be ridiculous, especially since Marvel would then be the first licensed theme besides Star Wars to have three D2C sets in the same year dedicated to it (assuming 76218 is a D2C, but it pretty much has to be at that price point). Even with Star Wars, it took ages for that to happen. Marvel undeniably sells well, but i don’t think 3 D2C sets so close together are warranted

Thanks 76218 has to be DC then, right? Because it’d be a very sad year for DC fans otherwise

It‘s in their IG story
