  1. Two sets are rumoured for 2026 so far, both 18+, one released in May, the other unknown ^^
  2. Looks like there are quite a few additional sets next year! 4 unknown sets in March 3 M&G sets, the two busts, and another unknown set in May 2 two further M&G sets later on plus another unknown one Quite a lot of sets, considering there will surely be an August wave too (likely with Ahsoka S2 sets)
  3. I highly doubt the TIE Avenger will appear in a movie or show again, let alone in M&G Its entire point was being a super expensive prototype, and the theft ensured it never got mass-produced. Sure, they could bring that specific one back (since we don’t know what happened to it later) or create another prototype if it served the story, but it‘d be hard to do without feeling a bit forced. Then again, this is SW we‘re talking about, which is no stranger to things being forced Also, really excited to hear production on Starfighter has started! I really like the cast so far and hope they all get minifigs!
  4. True. The last couple of villain vehicles were two 4+ Jonklermobiles, a skateboard, and Penguin‘s rubber ducky from the accessory pack, and that‘s across 5 years! You kinda have to feel bad for the DC villains in the current LEGO world. The Batman villains get steamrolled by an armada of Batvehicles and then swiftly sent to the Aslume, Lex gets beaten to a pulp by a Soup mech, and any other villains don‘t even get the luxury of existing!
  5. How about a teaser that goes public for once? Still baffling we had two already, neither of which was officially available to watch.
  6. YOU WILL EAT YOUR CLONES AND YOU‘RE GONNA LIKE IT
  7. A Titan Battle set would be neat A good candidate for the unknown $100 set! The Infinity Saga still has so much potential with the Destroyer, Red Skull‘s car, the train chase in CA:TFA, Malekeith‘s ship, Knowwhere, Ego‘s planet, Q-ships, and so on, but nahhhhhh, we definitely need more Endgame final battle and redundant Iron Man sets I think I‘d prefer more Raimi sets right now.
  8. That‘d be the fourth 66 Batmobile in 10 years! I wouldn‘t put it past them, but we‘d be deep in Luke’s Landspeeder territory with that one I‘d only be okay with that if it actually came with Robin this time. I quite like the idea of a small collection of Batmobiles, even though we already sorta get that on a regular basis anyway *sigh* If only they didn’t ignore the DCU…
  9. Well, yeah I want a TIE Avenger primarily because it‘s a cool new TIE variant, not because of the minifigs that would be included Cassian would be a noteworthy variant and a Range Trooper an updated rare minifig in my book ^^ They‘d be pretty much on par pretty in my eyes, as they‘re all either noteworthy variants (clones) or upgrades (like Kit Fisto and Agen Kolar with non-rubbery heads à la Plo Koon). Again, significant upgrades fall into my „above average“ category too Also, this is just my personal categorisation and in the end it‘s all about preference ^^ I‘m glad whenever desirable minifigs like Dooku get updated or not locked behind $1000 paywalls, I‘m just not that excited about them
  10. 76344 is the previously rumoured 18+ set, while 76334 is a 9+ set, so it‘s definitely not a book nook
  11. Since they‘ll release in March, I‘d say around October My guess is two Batvehicles (one of which being a Batmobile), a location (comic-based), and a set without minifigs. No logo though, since that would be an 18+ set, but a buildable figure or object of some sort would make sense. A DC wave with four minifig sets sounds too good to be true
  12. That‘s why I didn‘t specify what a „noteworthy variation“ is A new Dooku would likely not differ drastically from the 2013 one (it might actually be worse given how good that particular faceprint was) and thus indeed be average in my book. Zam Wessel however I would consider a significant upgrade since we never had a flesh-coloured one and the helmet would certainly be new too, and thus clearly above average. If the last Tarkin had been the 2006 one, I‘d feel similarly about that, or maybe even the 2016 one, but since he‘s already included in the new DS, he‘d be a mere repeat.
  13. Most likely Infinity Saga sets. Hopefully something interesting! *More Endgame final battle sets*: Allow us to introduce ourselves.
  14. Falls into the object category in my book I quite like the sound of that, to be honest! Granted, we‘ve had quite a few buildable Iron Men so far (2x Hulkbuster, the 2012 constraction figure, the more recent action figure, the helmet, and the bust), but depending on how it‘s realised, it could turn out pretty cool ^^
  15. This is how I would categorise it: Below average: repeats of common minifigs without any variation or army-building potential Average: repeats of rare minifigs, maybe with slight alterations, or common amassable minifigs Above average: noteworthy variations, new minor characters Great: new sought-after characters, ideally with new moulded pieces Hence why I fully expect the TIE Advanced to be average or below even
  16. It'd be a miracle if the selection was anything above average. My guess is 3 repeats from the Death Star: Darth Vader, a trooper (Stormie/Navy Trooper/Gunner), and an officer (or Tarkin). Good for anyone who won't get the DS and/or has been collecting for less than 10 years, pretty boring for everyone else
  17. The Outlander not getting made is understandable though, as all it really is is a regular TIE Fighter with foldable wings Not that it would‘ve stopped them had they wanted to release a set regardless. The timeframe argument only makes sense if you assume the designers only learned about the Avenger when S2 first aired. Sure, you could argue they would’ve released it already if they wanted to cash in on the show, but maybe there‘s a good reason they didn‘t do it this year. I‘m staying cautiously optimistic ^^
  18. Very admirable! I do wonder however if @CloneCommando99 is ready for the long game It will be around February when we get the 2HY list, and the Avenger may not be on there either! Still miffed about the Advanced. It’s almost as if the designers heard we want a unique TIE with slanted wings that starts with an „A“, and then drew the wrong conclusion
  19. The set could indeed be a book nook, but it may just as well be a microscale model or a buildable object As long as we get something new and interesting out of it, I‘ll be happy with any of the three options!
  20. I randomly checked jedijacpenguin‘s 2026 list and saw that there‘s apparently a fourth DC set coming in March (76333, $29.99) That‘ll make it the largest DC wave we‘ve seen in a while!
  21. The selection I mentioned in my previous post wasn't a suggestion, that's the actual rumour
  22. Two Stormies and a TIE Pilot. I mean, what else were we expecting? There's only so much you can do with a regular OT TIE Fighter
  23. A picture of the set leaked, and turns out it’s just the controller The Genesis logo is a sticker, so they might include a Megadrive one too, but we’ll see ^^
  24. I hope so! Given how many sets he’ll appear in, including a $10 January set, the cost of a new piece could easily be justified Also, speaking of which, it’s kinda funny people complain about the lack of cheap sets when there’s a $10 set on the way that’s not a gimmick! Sure, it’s the only one we currently know of, but such cheap SW sets haven’t been seen in decades, and I doubt it’s a one-off.
  25. I was wondering the same thing! I intend to put the set right next to the other PotC sets atop one of my display cabinets, but this seems to be a lot taller than I thought Not sure it’ll fit! Sounds plausible! Hopefully that’s correct, because if it’s any taller than 74cm, it won’t fit
