    @lego_guyon02 & @THELEGOBATMAN: Bummer I’ve never paid much attention to how TLG’s social media accounts handle comment replies, so looks like it’s about as informative regarding upcoming products as your average customer service reply Dangit, back to square one! Edit: As the guys over at stonewars point out, there is one tiny noticable thing in that reply, namely the upside down smiling emoji It’s one of those emojis people usually don’t know what to do with, so not sure if this implies anything. I think some people use it to indicate irony, but that wouldn’t make much sense here. …analysing emojis in twitter posts, so that’s what my life has led me to

    Looks great, but it being a part of the regular Disney theme, formerly known as Disney Princess, kills it for me As a completionist (sort of), I can’t justify getting this and not the dozens of other sets in the theme, to me it’s either everything or nothing

    Nope, looked it up myself, it was the ST tweet https://mobile.twitter.com/LEGO_Group/status/1391825891869724673

    The official TLG account on Twitter responded to a comment on the teaser with “keep an eye out for more information” They wouldn’t say that if there wasn’t a set coming, right? RIGHT?

    Crickey, how come the picture quality is still this pathetic in 2021 where everyone and their great-grandmother have a smartphone in their possession I like what I’m seeing, which isn’t much
  6. BrickBob Studpants
    So all we need is one of them jumping the gun a bit
  7. BrickBob Studpants
    Aw, I saw the “hot!” flair and thought something had finally been revealed, but nope And ironically, I’m now contributing to that too
  8. BrickBob Studpants
    In what sense do you want to combine them anyway? Are the apartments and the café in the same building in-universe or is it because the studio sets were most likely in the same building?
  9. BrickBob Studpants
    Well there goes my interest in the set
  10. BrickBob Studpants
    That’s even less likely. Keeping a D2C set a secret is hard enough, doing the same with an entire theme is downright impossible

    I’m still rather confused whether this is an actual teaser or just a social media post to hype up season 4, so let’s examine the “evidence” we have so far (or rather lack thereof, as this is mere conjecture ): If this wasn’t a product teaser, it’d be the first time they did something like this (that I’m aware of) Directly advertising the current set would make a lot more sense if a new one isn’t planned as they must be aware what most people think when they see a teaser like that They still have the license, so at least it’s possible. As the upcoming FRIENDS set shows, 2 years seems to be a reasonal gap for a follow-up set (to assess whether it makes sense financially based on the sales of the first set) However, it’s extremely weird no rumours have shown up yet and the leakers appear fairly unconvinced. We already have information about sets scheduled for November, and they surely wouldn’t tease a set this far in advance Where would this fit in schedule-wise? The summer/autumn calendars seem to be quite full as is with the FRIENDS set, Daily Bugle, Frozen Castle, Nintendo D2C, Tumbler, Republic Gunship, AT-AT, Harry Potter D2C, and the rumoured Delorean and Titanic sets Why tease this merely a day before the FRIENDS set? Why recreate the teaser for season 4 when a new set would most likely be based on seasons 2 or 3? Just to ride the hype train?

    Probably for budgetary reasons, because the bird mould obviously already exists in white whereas the rubber duck doesn’t
  13. BrickBob Studpants
    That’d be a pretty cruel self-punishment for losing a bet on the Internet
  14. BrickBob Studpants
    Every thread does once pictures emerge
  15. BrickBob Studpants
    I think that's what Falconfan means. If TLG won't reveal the sets themselves, retailers will instead because the embargo will be lifted on Tuesday
  16. BrickBob Studpants
    @Puresh: Which minifig are you gonna eat this time?
  17. BrickBob Studpants
    Thanks for clarifying! I wonder what this set could be I’m hoping for something based on Mando or TBB, but of course it could be something completely out of left field like last year’s Galaxy’s Edge set or a pointless OT remake like the DS duel
  18. BrickBob Studpants
    They have to be able to be separated though, how else are you supposed to transport the set?
  19. BrickBob Studpants
    Wasn't there a recent rumour about a cancelled set? Maybe this is it
  20. BrickBob Studpants
    If I counted correctly, the whole thing is around 80 studs wide, so it narrowly won't fit in my display cabinet (<73 studs) Now I need to improvise
  21. BrickBob Studpants
    Nah, I like it too, I think it's simple yet effective That said, I wouldn't mind them improving it, but I'm also not opposed to it being reused in the upcoming sets. So the chances for it to disappoint me are pretty low
  22. BrickBob Studpants
    There better be one coming after that teaser If not, they may just as well post teasers for upcoming shows and films they don’t even have the license for
  23. BrickBob Studpants
    Looks amazing I’m not overly familiar with the show, so who’s the eighth character?
  24. BrickBob Studpants
    Phoebe comes with Sally’s hairpiece in light yellow in the new Friends set, in case someone wants to replace Lucious’ hairpiece with an alternative
  25. BrickBob Studpants
    Sarcasm can be hard to detect on the Internet You mean the 2013 version with Bane’s mask as a ridiculous symbol plastered on it? Yeah, that’s a good one
