It’s funny how they immediately addressed the questions most people had after the first trailer (who the Eternals are and why they didn’t interfere before) Looks impressive! Can’t wait for the sets to finally be added to s@h so we can get a better look at them (particularly close-ups of the interesting-looking interior of their ship)

Well, that explains it So it should be revealed (or leaked ) within the next month

I think they’ve missed their best chance by not including him in the Marauder set. Unless he gets recast and features prominently in S3 (or BoBF; after all, we still have no idea who might show up there), chances are pretty slim I guess… Well, maybe if they decide to release a set based on the blue speeder from the very first episode, but who knows At least that’d be better than the 6th remake of Luke’s speeder

Maybe I’m jinxing it by saying it, but so far the prices on bricklink look fairly normal for a minifig from an expensive 4-year old set I definitely could see them revisiting the character one day, with the usual mixed reactions whenever a rare-ish minifig gets remade of course Already getting my popcorn ready for when people throw tantrums as soon as the Tumblers leak

Almost every reliable leaker under the sun has confirmed it, so it’s definitely coming Besides, late reveals have become pretty frequent lately. The NES for instance was leaked on the 13th of July 2020, so one day before its official reveal and less than three weeks before its release.

That was just a joke, poking fun at how she won’t return because Gina Carano got fired The “dying on the way back to her home planet” thing is an often-cited Simpsons reference (though a bit nonsensical in this context, considering what her home planet actually was)

Carl Weathers has just confirmed that shooting starts in September. Also, he will return as both Greef Karga and the director of (at least?) one episode Kinda sad that Karga is all alone now, first Cara dies on the way back to her home planet and now the Mythrol’s in deep bantha poodoo too

Set lists for the following year already leaking before every single set of the current year has been revealed is pretty common though Plus, we haven’t seen the Queer Eye and Peach’s Castle sets either and those should be released long before either of the Tumblers

I think they’ve finally reached the point that so many different sets are produced each year that the EOL status has to forcibly be reached much sooner, just to make space on shelves for new products Monkie Kid for instance has reportedly been removed from all German stores (except two) simply because they ran out of shelf space and that theme probably was deemed the most expendable one. Looking at the sheer amount of Mario sets we’ve got in just a year, it doesn’t surprise me in the slightest that a lot of them will retire soon to make space for wave 4

The Arkenstone print is indeed pretty similar, but not identical:

Exactly, it’s fascinating how much of a difference a simple printed 1x1 tile can make. We’ve had plenty of micro TIEs before (the Gozanti cruiser from Rebels and several AC builds come to mind), but that tile makes them look so much better

The review embargo has been lifted as brickset, brothers brick, and @Ashnflash (among others) have published their respective reviews of the Icons collection Still looks just as impressive, can’t wait to get my hands on it

I’ve had the exact same issue. The solution is rather simple: just completely restart your device (smartphone or iPad). Afterwards, it should work just fine

They mean December 2022 Brickfanatics’ EOL list is split into two parts, one for Dec 2021 and the other Dec 2022

Funny how SW, which is usually among the first themes to have set lists leaked, is now one of the few 2022 themes we haven’t heard anything about yet (the others being Creator, Technic, Disney, and HP) Don’t let the youtube hatemongers catch wind of it

Why not just redesign Boggart Snape?

True, but the point still stands that all of the Bricktober minifigs apart from Boggart Snape already got remade (albeit with different costumes), so it's not unreasonable to assume that this one may get the same treatment at some point Change the torso print, recolour the Lone Ranger bird to reddish brown and voilà, new version Same goes for the other 2018 Bricktober minifigs, every single one of them has been remade in regular sets

Nope, I adore the new D2C set Thing is, my initial dissatisfaction with this year’s sets was solely stemming from my expectations, not what the sets actually are. I used to dislike the idea of a collection of buildable items mainly because it meant that Gringotts wasn’t coming. That said, the result is so stunning it won me over in a heartbeat

Nah, still heavily dislike that idea I'd rather have three D2C sets like this year's opposed to a Quidditch D2C

And the 150th Brickhead is… Ahsoka Good choice

It’s SW-themed, that much is certain, because the results of the vote were officially announced. The specific character however is currently unknown, at least to my knowledge Personally, I hope it’s Obi-Wan, since he’s the most important character that’s still missing in Brickhead form (the runner-ups being Padmé and The Senate)

Exactly. The numbering for the Mickey & Friends theme was so weird that everyone first thought they were Duplo sets. So it looks like they’re now back to give 4+ sets their own separate set number range after they’ve shared their respective themes’ regular set numbers for a couple of years. Sort of backpedalling to Juniors without using that name

LEGO World Club and jedijacpenguin provide us with the following set list for early 2022: 21177: tbd Minecraft Desert 2022 21178: tbd Minecraft Foe 2022 21179: tbd Minecraft Mooshroom 2022 21180: tbd Minecraft Underwater 2022 21181: tbd Minecraft Bunny 2022 21183: tbd Minecraft Dire Cave 2022 Not overly specific, but these could be very interesting. Another desert set is long overdue (especially if it’s a temple) and new sets featuring Mooshroom and bunnies are not unwelcomed. For the latter, I hope a big bunny build is included to complement the sheep and chicken builds we’ve gotten before. The last one is probably misspelled and should read Deep Cave instead, or at least that’s what I hope

According to LEGO World Club & jedijacpenguin, we can look forward to 7 new sets in early 2022, the set numbers being 71396 through 71402. No names or piece counts, but I think we can expect the line-up to be similar to this year’s with at least one costume and a character series

No, but Land- and Snowspeeders tend to get remade in rather quick succession, even more so than other popular sets I agree with @Alex though, I wouldn't mind too much if new windshield pieces were involved. Then again, they could release the blue Landspeeder from Mando instead I think you're right, it was indeed a bit later last year, but that was unusually late as opposed to this year being unusually early Set lists popping up in August has always been the norm, with a few outliers in either direction (1HY 2016 being so ridiculously early that a lot of people, myself included, completely dismissed the list at first)
