The Disney Castle set set has been rumoured since April, so a lot earlier than we first heard about Peach's Castle And correct, they have separate set numbers so a misunderstanding can be safely ruled out. Both sets are definitely coming. Thanks I'm currently displaying the coins and keychains in the same display cabinet as some of the other Mario sets, still thinking about a better solution All of these items shouldn't be too hard to get, depending on where you live of course. I've had to bricklink the coins since there still aren't any LEGO stores in Switzerland (one day... *sigh*), but if you happen to live near one they might carry them. I think they're handed out to participants of some in-store event. The keychains are pretty easy to get if you happen to have accounts on both s@h and MyNintendo since at least half of the necessary points are granted by "cross-wiring" the accounts The only issue is that MyNintendo doesn't deliver to that many countries, so the Luigi keychain on s@h is a lot easier to get

Everything except the hairpiece Well, maybe that one’s new too, hard to tell with these pictures. The old one was green and I think the new one could be bright green, judging by the lifestyle pictures

Scarecrow And two swappable heads for Batsy

I own the 2014 version, and I’m still looking forward to this one! The proportions seem to be much more accurate

It’s treason, then… I don’t mind waiting a bit longer for these sets if that means they end up being more accurate

The set itself looks surprisingly similar to the last version upon closer inspection, but good to see that interrogation scene Joker finally gets a minifig Wonder what this means for the $40 set though. Purple coat Joker cannot be ruled out now

No. It’s made of metal, but not particularly heavy Peach’s Castle is rumoured to be released in October, so it can’t take that much longer Then again, the Camp Nou set will supposedly be available starting tomorrow and it still hasn’t been officially revealed yet

The D2C Tumbler has leaked!

*S19 Dog Sitter has entered the chat* Those were all evergreen too at one point, until they lost that status when sales dropped That’s also how I interpret the term. Or alternatively, themes that survive past their first three years

We’re currently in the fourth year of the theme, so of course it’s evergreen Or do you know a theme that went beyond 3 consecutive years that didn’t reach that status?

He’s a walking spoiler, so it’s not that hard to see why they didn’t include him

So, gimmick or no gimmick, that is the question…

Correct, the designers have said so on more than one occasion They could theoretically insert a small reference here or there, but don't expect any book-exclusive characters to suddenly show up in sets

They weren‘t, it was an official reveal: https://www.thebrickfan.com/lego-marvel-spider-man-no-way-home-sets-revealed/ Edit: Ninja‘d

@THELEGOBATMAN: Something like that would be great, but we should keep our expectations in check Realistically, I‘d expect the two sets to be on the small side, with 3-4 minifigs each. The missing villains could then still be revisited later on

It wouldn‘t have to be a huge wave though, 3 small or medium sets would be enough. Just an appetiser of sorts Fair point. I have to admit though, the 1-wave-a-year scheme has been a major test of patience for me

Why not? Other themes have also started with one wave a year, then moved to two a year and never went back (Minecraft e.g.) Sure, a gimmicky type of set might make more sense given that‘s the only precedent for a winter wave we have, but who‘s to say they won‘t release two waves of regular sets starting next year? If the theme is succesful enough to warrant it, why not

Winter Village Jedijacpenguin seems to agree, since the alleged Marvel line-up is the only one from LWC he didn‘t include in his lists Though admittedly, four 4+ sets is not something you‘d come up with to make your fake list sound more believable, is it Either way, us still being in the dark about other major themes should give us hope for a HP winter wave If so, what do you think those sets could be? Regular ones? A new gimmicky type of set? The unexpected return of Moments sets?

We do have set lists for some licensed themes though; Minecraft, Mario, DC, and Jurassic World, to be precise. Two of them are carry-overs from this year of course A Marvel set list exists too, however that one is a bit fishy. Granted, the only list among these that includes anything concrete beyond set numbers is the Minecraft one, and even those names are rather vague. In essence, we need a lot more information before we can rule out a HP winter wave

Not yet. Star Wars, Technic, and Chinese New Year are also still missing, and as long as those remain a mystery, I‘m not willing to abandon the idea of a 2022 winter wave What I‘m personally hoping for is a small wave of normal sets rather than more Moments ones

I'd rather have stupid puns than the exact same unfunny joke being repeated ad nauseam

Exactly. If actors do or say something horrible, it‘s easy for TLG to distance themselves because the minifigs are based on the characters the portray. Youtubers on the other hand could prove to be ticking time bombs, so TLG would have to be EXTREMELY careful when selecting safe ones. You‘d be a good choice though The list was posted by LWC on the Russian messenger VK a while ago. They’re not the only source though, Jedijacpenguin has added some of the sets to their 2022 list as well. I’d go with the latter’s list as it’s a bit easier to find

I can also confirm something: print(‚the sets will include %s‘ % (random.choice(unfunny_list_of_obvious_things_LOL))) Crown me the king of comedy Are y‘all channeling that dude on IG that posts nothing but these anti-leaks?

I still think that releasing sets with spoilerific characters in January or February would be a rather risky move. Of course the sets themselves are not going to be pictured in the catalogue and have thus a pretty low chance of leaking, but the same cannot be said about the minifigs. They might already escape the factory before the next trailers drops March or even April seems a lot more safe to me, but we shall see

That's what the same source that brought us the other 2022 set lists said anyway I thought that was reported in this thread as well, but apparently not
