  1. 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
  2. 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
  3. 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
  4. Doc Brown wasn’t that old though It’s probably either the bob hairpiece or the one used for AOTC Obi
  5. I love all of it The Slave One being based on Mando after all just made my day
  6. 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
  7. 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
  8. 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
  9. *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…
  10. 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
  11. Nice to see there’s a 6th figure after all. Too bad it’s just Draco
  12. 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
  13. 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
  14. 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?
  15. Wait, we have a release date? I thought it was still unknown
  16. Congrats My copy will arrive in the afternoon
  17. Looking forward to it I think a reveal during the con is pretty likely
  18. 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
  19. 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
  20. 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
  21. 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
  22. 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
  23. 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!
  24. 20th anniversary Obi had a build included (the stand) and the magazine extras are just that: extras. What you actually pay for is the magazine. Besides, it's in the contract, what more proof do you need?
  25. An uncoiled one was introduced shortly after the theme had ended, so maybe they could use both moulds, depending on the set? The uncoiled whip for scenes that require a gap to be leaped across and the classic coiled one for the other sets
