  1. No, the Duplo set is a June release while the regular sets are scheduled for September
  2. Not gonna happen, they won’t dedicate a D2C set to a less recognisable variant like that. It would be like a UCS Millennium Falcon based on Solo or any UCS X-Wing other than Luke’s
  3. So this is where we're at now? Conspiracy theories? What next, a cult? This sounds pretty off-topic to me. Anyway, back to topic After watching the first two episodes, I really hope for a future set with Omega. I liked her character a lot more than I thought at first
  4. Swift_bricks on IG got their hands on the anniversary sets, so I guess I won’t take long before we learn who the characters on the chocolate frog card tiles are
  5. LEGO has just posted a teaser on social media, looks like another set is incoming
  6. Which figures are you looking forward to the most? Personally, I can’t wait to see Gideon, the Darktroopers, Fennec, and Bo-Katan If they’re anywhere near the quality of these two or the Bad Batch, we’re in for a treat!
  7. There’s only one tiny issue I have with the Mortar Trooper: they should’ve gone with bright light orange rather than yellow It’s not completely off the way it is, just not as accurate as it could have been
  8. Hopefully we’ll get an Incinerator Trooper too at some point Of course they only appeared in a single episode, but so did the Mortar Trooper
  9. Finally some exciting SW factory leaks again When was the last time we actually got proper factory leaks? 1HY 2021 was incredibly boring with only two new minifigs, 2HY 2020 was leaked in catalogue form before any factory leaks occured, and 1HY 2020 was already officially revealed by the time the leaks hit, so probably 2HY 2019 with the TROS sets
  10. 75311 Imperial Troop Transport (which is technically not the correct name, but we’ll let it slide) Well, they’re not going back to the old one, so it’s either this or nothing
  11. Greef Karga and the Mortar Stormtrooper leaked, both looking excellent
  12. Aren’t you guys reading a tiiiiny little bit too much into the background art of a random accessory pack?
  13. That’s the main issue with Imperial Crosshair: the options for the OG version to appear in a set are pretty limited, given he gets the new Imperial armour in the very first episode of the show. So it either has to be something like you’re suggesting here, or a set based on TCW S7. Not impossible, but not very likely either It’s sort of the reverse situation as with Mando
  14. Yes, he has a medium flesh head like the others (except for Echo). They openly name him Crosshair on the box, so spoilers precautions go right out the window, thus no need to give him a black head
  15. I don’t think popularity is much of a factor here. If someone is willing to spend $200 on a Tumbler, they wouldn‘t drop that idea just because they spot a $40 version on the shelf right next to it. If all they want is a model of the Tumbler, there‘s plenty of even cheaper alternatives People who actually want a giant Tumbler are the audience for this set, and they wouldn‘t be tempted by a smaller version to serve as a replacement
  16. The shuttle has been revealed, and yeah, they call Crosshair by name on the box. This lends credence to the theory that the reveal has been pushed back for that very reason
  17. You‘re right in that it can‘t be verified, but if it was a single source I think we would have gotten the name and the vague decription at once. Why split that information into two separate rumours? Indeed, we had. But none of the information was completely wrong, just attributed to the wrong sets. The Remembrall being brick-built was the most significant error, but at least there is one in the set Fair enough
  18. That‘s a bit of a stretch, and doesn‘t negate the other bit of information. Besides, isn‘t „Icons“ rumoured to be a purely internal label at the moment? In that case, it shouldn‘t end up on a set list in the first place Two words: Ockham‘s razor
  19. First, we heard what the set was (a collection of buildable objects), without having a name. The name („Hogwarts Icons“) dropped a bit later, by a different source. No credible leaker has denied either bit of information
  20. ROTS yes, but not TROS His costume is different enough to be worthy of a new minifig It‘s just nice to have it confirmed After the stingy 1HY sets, a repeat of the season 1 minifig couldn‘t be ruled out completely
  21. Couldn‘t agree more. What is there to be shamed for? Set selection? Some may not like the choices, but that doesn‘t mean they‘re bad sets or worthy of being shamed for „Not for me“ =/= „terrible“ That‘s incredibly unlikely. We have two pieces of information from different sources, that point to only one possible conclusion: a collection of buildable items called „Hogwarts Icons“. Unless both rumours happen to be fabricated, which is also unlikely
  22. Saw is definitely near the top of my why-on-Earth-has-TLG-decided-to-skip-these-characters-or-versions-from-the-Didney-era list, but he‘s in good company with 7th Sister, Rukh, Galen Erso, Dryden Vos, TROS Senate, Babu Frik, TLJ Leia, 90% of the Resistance cast, Kuiil, and now OG Crosshair Some on this list are more likely to ever appear in a set than others, but I‘m still hopeful at least some of these may finally see the light of day Btw, it’s not really that surprising or anything, but leakers have confirmed that the upcoming Greef Karga minifig is new Glad to have it confirmed since I really like his season 2 attire Edit: According to lego_fulcrum, factory leaks could start pretty soon
