They're putting that new energy blast piece to good use then

What about 75369 then?

Permission granted Stop scaring me

Does anyone really care about him all that much anyway? With so many characters to choose from and only 12 of them being in the series, why would they go for him?

Is that a hint or just general curiosity?

According to promobricks, there's another set in the pipeline: 75296, 18+, 663 pieces, 69.99€, 8/21 Maybe that explains our helmet dilemma

Sounds good, thanks @Brick Clicker

Are you trying to rickroll us?

Two issues: I‘m a completionist (sort of), not buying sets is simply out of the question, which is why I want them to be good As a single adult with disposable income, I buy whatever sets my dark heart desires without hesitating for even a split-second. At this point, I may just as well wire my account to LEGO‘s So saving money for another theme is no incentive to me, even if I wasn‘t a completionist (sort of)

Thanks for reminding me why dunking on CC and WB’s decision-making was so much more fun than that particular on-topic discussion The prospect of the August wave just bums me out when seeing what Marvel has to offer this year Imagine getting s handful of August sets on top of a highly-anticipated June wave that won‘t be a huge disappointment I‘d say I envy Marvel fans, but I don‘t because I am one myself

I admit the FB and CC discussion veered too far into off-topic territory despite our attempts to connect it to potential LEGO sets Any idea what could bring us back to discussing this year‘s sets again? A new leak should do the trick, so let‘s hope something pops up next week since we’re getting very close to when the leaks properly started last year

There‘s another thing in there that fans hate with a fiery passion besides the time travel nonsense, but I‘m not spoiling it for you of course You‘re pretty lucky nobody has brought it up before

Late April Is that a hint or wishful thinking?

Promobricks have updated their info again (splitting the Marvel and DC sections) and they confirm that 76187 is a Venom “helmet” and 76191 is indeed the Infinity Gauntlet

Agreed Too bad the Scout Trooper rumour was false, but I appreciate the FO Stormie since it opens the door for non-OT helmets. The more variety, the better

Almost a decade even I remember when I fully expected TLG to cover the pre-Avengers films too back then, because revisiting prior films is what TLG always did whenever they acquired a new film license (Star Wars, Indy, Toy Story, Middle-Earth). I was quite disappointed when that didn’t happen in 2013, and after that I gave up on that idea completely. ...until now that is

Excuse me, I just threw up in my mouth a little I desperately hope that’s not true, because that would mean we wouldn’t get to see Dumbledore & Grindy’s legendary duel and would instead be greeted by mind-boggingly stupid time travel shenanigans Unless FB3 involves a ridiculous time-jump that is. In terms of LEGO, we can only hope they realise what a hot mess CC is and don’t even touch it with a ten foot pole

To those hoping for a Daily Bugle set: count me in But not for the reasons you may want it, my motivation is far more mundane: limited space A vertical set like that would save me a lot of trouble, which is why I also wouldn’t mind a D2C set based on the Avengers Tower

Dang, that's an awfully long time we have to wait for that T-Rex Seriously though, I'm hoping for another recolour this year (or next year in the JWD sets). You can never have enough T-Rexes

That mould was intended for OT Han from the very start though, the first time it was used was in 2016 for the Death Star playset, so 1.5 years before the Solo sets were released

Another Benatar? Interesting choice, and at an interesting price point too I wonder which scene it depicts and if the detachable vessel will be included as well

They’re not exactly on the top of my wanted list, but I wouldn’t mind if both of them were revisited at one point

Well, when one set is an amazing-looking dragon, it’s hard not be let down by a set depicting a mundane chase scene involving generic cars and bikes It’s by no means a bad set, but it’s no match for the other one

Not to veer too far into off-topic territory, but comparing CC to TLJ is pretty unfair in my eyes. For instance, the Holdo maneuver doesn’t contradict anything that happened before and the plothole it creates is explained away in TROS. In comparison, there’s NO handwaving of anything that happens during CC. The way timeturners work not only breaks canon, it shatters it The other points are debatable IMO Anyway, I hope FB3 is succesful enough so that the other planned sequels aren’t scrapped. As long as FB is around, we’re safe from that abomination While I’m heavily opposed to a Hogwarts Express D2C set, that would be a neat inclusion
