It does, as the 4+ Mickey sets have been found as well 87 pieces for $30?! What the **** kind of set is that supposed to be?

Good, I was hoping that would be the case There‘s still plenty of classic Mickey & Friends characters they could introduce here, like Pete or Horace

People on IG seem to think that “coconut” is Indy, but Avatar 2 is far more likely. The Indy sets were obviously supposed to tie-in with Indy 5’s previous release date so a June release is far more realistic

Let’s look at the previous $20 sets: Grindelwald’s Escape: 132 pieces, 2 minifigs, 1 large moulded creature Expecto Patronum: 121 pieces, 4 minifigs, 1 large moulded creature The Rise of Voldemort: 184 pieces, 5 minifigs + Baby Voldy Hogwarts RoR: 193 pieces, 4 minifigs, 2 small moulded creatures Polyjuice Potion Mistake: 217 pieces, 4 minifigs, 1 moulded headpiece Not enough data to establish a clear pattern of course, but 4 minifigs and a (large) moulded seem pretty likely

A new mould being included is not the only factor at play. The RoR $20 set for instance featured two new animal moulds, yet still had 192 pieces Then again, those two were pretty small and nowhere near as complex as the dual-moulded stag. Btw, it’s been two years almost and we’re still waiting for their non-patronus counterparts to appear in sets @BacktoBricks might be onto something, a troll mould could explain it I can’t think of another large moulded creature that would make sense to include in a $20 set

Huh, I managed to miss that completely Most of these part counts seem pretty ordinary to me, even the one of set 76400. I just looked it up, the Expecto Patronum set also had exactly 121 pieces for $20

Webshop electricbricks has started to add 2HY set numbers to their database While there’s nothing HP-related we didn’t know already, at least it reconfirms that 76406 is a buildable creature. Also, the release date is June apparently Phew!

Depends on when the sets get released this year. If it’s June as usual, I would expect a list in early February. In case it’s later (say August), it may take a while

I think not even descriptions are allowed anymore. If I’m not mistaken, the last time we got anything was in 2019, when a brave soul brought us a list of HP minifigs and was promptly fired for it

As @Robert8 points out, the toy fairs in London and Nuremberg will be held (the one in NY as well I think?), but I wouldn’t expect the sets to be shown there In the last couple of years, they’ve shown fewer and fewer 2HY sets and themes, so the only sets I fully expect to see there are the Jurassic World ones (scheduled for April) and any set with a March release. If we’re lucky, some May sets could also show up (Lightyear and the SW dioramas). The rest will be revealed much later

Not likely. A designer has recently stated in an interview that the 18+ label doesn't mean that they're planning to branch out to "adult" themes The thread is specifically about licensed spooky themes

Same here ...well, almost. Once I had a faulty CMF S10 motorcycle mechanic that came with a second pair of legs

If it stays exclusive to streaming, most likely not, just too niche at that point Of course we get sets based on streaming shows (Stranger Things, Mando, TBOBF, Marvel), but those are all juggernauts while DC is doing... whatever it is they're doing right now The best indicator is probably the Flash film. If that one doesn't get sets, then there's no way Batgril will, theatrical or not

Couldn't agree more. I don't get why big budget streaming-exclusive films get made at all, why give away this much money? A film like Batgirl could easily make 500 Mio at the world-wide box office. Trying to gain the same amount just with new subscribers to a streaming service is just laughable

Some people think that new armour piece that leaked today belongs to Doctor Fate, which seems very unlikely to me. Why would his armour have two pinholes in the back?

… it was a joke Still no trailer, but at least that new picture looks promising. DeWanda Wise’s character could make for a good minifig, hopefully with a new faceprint Not counting on it, since there are quite a few they could repurpose for her (Jannah’s or Monica Rambeau’s for instance)

While these three would have been preferable, I still want Agatha, Zemo, and Mobius more than any of them Because that’s what the rumour says

Indeed. What if? S1 was enjoyable, but 5 slots in the CMF series in addition to the two sets it got was just overkill If it isn’t featured this time, we may finally see some of the desirable characters we were missing out on last time!

I sincerely hope the D2C set is the Avengers Tower, not because of the subject matter itself, but rather that a tower-like build is the only 500$-sized one I have room for I have no idea how to display a second Helicarrier or any other large building that isn’t a tower

I’m taking this with a mountain of salt Something’s off here

You mean a soon-to-be former employee, if this is even real in the first place It's too early for prelims for my liking and them being sold sounds suspicious too. Real or not, probably the dumbest LEGO-related money-making scheme I've heard, I mean how would you prevent your first "customer" from posting the pictures right on IG?

Without a shadow of a doubt He‘s the toy line‘s villain, so of course he‘s also the villain in the film that the in-universe toy is based on What we don‘t know is what his design looks like, kinda hard to reverse-engineer from his toy appearance

What is going on? Can we extend our reality-altering magic to other themes as well?

Him liking the post is indeed suspicious, but I’m not reading too much into it. Still not buying the idea all the highly-specific characters options we were spitballing suddenly turn out to be correct a few hours later

Looks like our speculation here has inspired someone on IG Yeah, sure, go ahead, new account with a single post and 0 followers. Oh, you say the set includes all the characters that were recently discussed here? What a coincidence How quaint.
