While I don't agree with the "DH is too dark for sets" argument, I can't really find fault with the designers' reasoning here that the DH movies don't lend themselves to toys on the same level as the earlier films do. That said, sets based on the Gringotts sequence and the Battle of Hogwarts would still be objectively good choices, both from a kids and collectors perspectives. If they released these two plus a couple of important characters in CMF form, I wouldn't complain So what I'm hoping next year will bring are more Moments sets, 2 PS/CoS sets, 2 PoA/GoF sets, 2 playsets based on FB3, a buildable Niffler, a Battle of Hogwarts set, and a Gringotts D2C. In essence, I want them to completely abandon the two-films-per-year-with-some-extras structure and go wild

Did that show murder your family or something? I know Resistance isn't particularly well-received in comparison to the other three animated shows, but putting it below GoT S8 is just needlessly mean It's a pretty harmless show overall (its lack of teeth is what bothered me the most), and I can't recall it undoing 7 seasons of previous character development, pulling plot points out of thin air and rushing everything to the breaking point. I just wish we got the Fireball instead of Black Ace

I’ve just finished building all of the sets (minus the CoS, that one arrives on Monday) and I’m very pleased with all of them Never thought I’d say that back when the set names got leaked, but I ended up liking the Harry & Hermione maxifigs even more than anticipated The fact everything is printed is just the icing on the cake. I SO hope they release sets in that style for other themes as well next year

Couldn’t agree more Bad Batch has been far more consistent than TCW’s, Rebels’, and Resistance’s respective first seasons. All three of these shows only started to get really good after the first season while Bad Batch is already on that level IMO Hopefully we’ll get more sets next year

Man, the new Slave One just goes to show how EASILY the 1HY offerings could have been improved. Had they replaced the regular TIE with a TIE Outlander, the protocol droid in that set with an incinerator trooper, the minifigs in the X-Wing with Trapper Wolf and Carson Teva, and Luke, Vader & the pilot with Mando, Pershing, & the Imp too stupid to live, I wouldn’t have said a single bad thing about it

Doc Brown wasn’t that old though It’s probably either the bob hairpiece or the one used for AOTC Obi

I love all of it The Slave One being based on Mando after all just made my day

Wait, is that Thanos’ (and by extension, Tony’s) death scene on the back of the box? I mean, Thanos sitting sadly and Tony holding the gauntlet right next to him, as if he was about to snap (granted, wrong gauntlet, but still). Dark sense of humour, if so

Indeed. But don’t forget the polybag Everybody assumes it’s yet another one featuring Harry (and I wouldn’t blame them), but Dragold being included would make sense, especially since they did the same thing two years ago for the SW anniversary. Another option I haven’t seen anyone bring up yet is more than one golden minifig being included in the D2C set. A bit unorthodox admittedly, but can’t really be ruled out yet

The delay only concerns NA though, it got released yesterday alongside the other sets in the rest of the world Sorry to burst your bubble, but that’s not really a solid base for any theory Besides, if there were more regular retail sets coming this year, we would’ve heard about them by now. Sure, the 3 new Monkie Kid sets that were put on shelves yesterday came almost out of nowhere, but that’s a special case since the theme’s s@h- and store-exclusive outside of Asia. Moreover, 2021 is already the biggest year the theme has ever had, so more sets on top of what we already have would be kind of overkill. Don’t get me wrong, I’d love for you to be right, but in all likelihood it ain’t gonna happen

*Lambert voice* he he he… Sorry. Of course you don’t, you have much higher stakes in this than everyone else Not trying to be a pessimist here, but DH not being part of their initial plans doesn’t exactly bode well for a full wave…

Yeah, it's probably for the best not to expect a full DH wave in the future Hopefully they'll at least give us a set or two (like Gringotts) and some spots on the next CMF series

Nice to see there’s a 6th figure after all. Too bad it’s just Draco

Owen and Claire don‘t appear in Camp Cretaceous, do they? Then why are they plastered across all the sets? AGAIN? Apart from that, those look great. Using the regular T-Rex head mould for the fossil is a stroke of genius if you ask me

That noodle bowl tank is simply amazing Now that‘s a combination of words I didn‘t know I would write when I got up in the morning

Polybag and D2C set would be my guess, I highly doubt there are any other sets coming this year Where did they say that btw?

Wait, we have a release date? I thought it was still unknown

Congrats My copy will arrive in the afternoon

Looking forward to it I think a reveal during the con is pretty likely

Pretty unspectacular set overall, but still a nice addition to my collection Without a doubt my favourite part of this set. They should include an alternative sticker that shows Ozzel getting force-choked It‘s an 18+ set after all Unless he made a short trip to Kamino, that wouldn‘t make much sense given his appearance on the sticker right next to Ozzel

Minifig Thanos is a lot better than anticipated I can already tell, the head swap pictures are going to be hilarious While I don‘t get its colour scheme, the Sanctuary II Mighty Micro also looks great

Agreed. It‘s an amazing set, but that Chitauri is entirely pointless It‘s better than nothing of course and the budget for new prints was probably already running thin, but there are other repeats they could‘ve included instead

Just finished building 76386 through 88 Very happy with these I have to say, Hogsmeade is one of my favourite sets thus far across the entire theme and Fluffy looks a lot better in person (apart from the light bluish grey ball joint receivers, those still suck). The first 5 chocolate frog cards were all unique ones and I thought "this is going well!". Yeah, I jinxed it and the rest were all duplicates Hope I get lucky with the other sets once they arrive

I‘d usually agree (don‘t watch it if you don‘t like it), but this time he went too far. Being entitled is one thing, but here he actively tried to turn his fanbase against TLG with obvious, blatant lies, probably as a petty act of revenge for being kicked out of LAN. Judging by some of the recent content on IG, many people actually took the bait. This sort of behaviour does and should not deserve any respect

Bee Mario, finally something from Galaxy Frog Mario is also a nice addition The Lakitu set and Series 3 sound cool as well. Looking forward to more details!
