The rumours were true, the flagship of the wave is quite literally a flagship I love the overall look of the airship, and particularly the Bowser face on the bow and that fold-out feature The figures are also well done, especially Kamek with useful printed 1x1 round tiles for his glasses. Rocky Wrench and the pirate Goomba are nice additions as well The only thing that’s missing is a Koopaling. At this pace, it’ll take ages for us to get all 7 of them

I thought he had a different outfit in PoA, but I might’ve misremember that

The old one had that exact play feature, and it was amazing Sure, it was one big moulded piece that couldn’t be used for anything else, but a neat one nonetheless. Indeed, but Dog!Sirius, Werewolf!Lupin and PoA Pettigrew would be enough to justify the set on a minifig basis, at least in my eyes

Exactly. He was saying that because the thread suddenly shifted from LEGO-related to pure movie discussion, including spoilers

Really? Every single one of them has all-new prints from top to bottom, including unique faceprints for all five (two of them double-sided even), new helmets (with one new mould), additional hairpieces for two of them, plus arm-printing for Echo. And that’s somehow still not enough?

…that image puts the usual potato quality pictures to shame What was it taken with? The broken crisps in the bottom of the bag?

That would be amazing After my dream of DH sets has been assassinated, I hope they at least fill in the remaining gaps in the other films, particularly PoA, GoF and OotP The Shrieking Shack is definitely a good candidate

The dream lives on Seriously though, I’m still very curious to see what the items will actually be and if they’re somewhat thematically linked (like the belongings of the Hogwarts founders) or just “random” iconic items. Since @lego_guyon02 hinted at multiple minifigs being included, there’s also the chance of each being associated with an item Say, a Neville minifig to go with a remebrall… If so, this would mean that we could guess the items once the minifigs start leaking at some point *cut to a new Dobby leaking in 3 weeks* The AC, D2C set and polybag are that’s left, at least to our current knowledge. There might be a GWP set, but we haven’t heard anything DA is still very hard to find at retailers in general. TLG must’ve extended the exclusivity window for unknown reasons

In which case everyone would complain about the minifig being exclusive to a $350 set

Series 3 has officially been revealed Quite a neat selection IMO

It probably makes sense to wait for the remaining two sets to be revealed (D2C + polybag) before paying through the nose for the missing tiles. Even if you’re already certain you won’t purchase either of them, they could still drive the current average prices down a bit

Never heard any such rumours. I hope not, with only 2 licensed series each year I want some variety Every two to three years is enough

I thought it was a tattoo, but doing it with a knive does sound like something Crosshair would do Agreed, the new clone face prints are all excellent The terrible reign of Angry CloneTM is finally over, and as punishment he’s been relegated to cosplaying as Sandman

Well, that would explain how phantoms were voted into the game I doubt people would've done something that boneheaded without influencers egging them on. This whole situation is really just annoying. I'd rather we not get to vote on sets instead of having votes being hijacked by a mob that doesn't even care about the final product anyway. That said, I wouldn't mind if TLG released a Jar-Jar Brickhead in the future, but not as the 150th one. I don't want a certain someone to get the satisfaction

WB and TLG simply didn’t extend their contract after TLM2

I think leaving the helmet in sand-green was the best option. While it’s not 100% accurate, at least they updated its printing

Can you hear that faint screaming in the distance? I have a slight suspicion where it’s coming from

Nope, Brickheadz have their own range of set numbers

According to the rumours, it’s a set of multiple buildable items called “Hogwarts Icons Collection”. We don’t know much beyond that, unfortunately

Huh, you're right! Totally forgot about that feature, even though I have that set Good point I want to see close-ups of the Cruiser minifigs

Set 75369 is a retail exclusive then, I take it (if it's still coming that is)? Because if it wasn't, its minifig selection would have leaked too, unless it doesn't feature any Crosshair's faceprint looks excellent btw, good to see they went the extra mile and gave all of them the unique faceprints they deserve

I might steal this one The armourer and Paz look great And looks like they found a way around the cape & jetpack problem: not including the former at all

Why would a set originally intended to be TESB-themed feature them? And before anyone misreads this discussion: it’s just speculation on my part to make a point, there is no such feature, at least not that we know of All I’m saying is that a late in the game switcheroo doesn’t sound likely to me. Boba for instance has a brand-new torso with elaborate arm printing, that’s not something you just pull out of a hat on a whim. Moreover, we haven’t seen a single preliminary image. Maybe the original source of the rumour simply got it wrong, which sounds a lot more plausible to me

I’m not convinced they changed the Slave 1’s figure selection in the last minute People say that potential storage space for Carbonite Han would be proof of that. I say there could be proof to the contrary: if there’s a feature to drop seismic bombs, then by the same token the set must’ve always been intended as a Mando tie-in Not sure what happened with the prelim info anyway, the rest was accurate to a tee after all. Either a misdirect or a wrong placeholder (anyone remember the prelim Cato Parasitti minifig that stood in for Sugi in the 2011 1HY catalogue?)

This is the first license TLG has acquired that I’ve never heard of before. Nonetheless, I’m definitely looking forward to it
