That sounds horrible. What are we going to discuss in the future? Just baseless speculation?

That reminds me, I asked Itaria last week about the size of Fluffy and the Basilisk and he estimates them to be roughly as big as their 2001/2 counterparts, if not larger Keep in mind that he‘s not 100% confident in that though. After all, it’s tricky to judge something like that based on preliminary pictures

I hope more minifig from the June sets leak soon Or better yet, the new moulds for Fluffy or the Basilisk Then again, full animal moulds tend to leak more often than individual parts... The thestral, Buckbeak, and the patronus animals e.g. all leaked pretty early-on, while the heads of the thunderbird, Hungarian horntail, and occamy didn‘t leak at all IIRC, despite being a new mould at the time

That won‘t ever happen, because TLG never announce cancellations of themes, they just stop producing sets A good infication is when there are no rumours for new sets AND all existing sets go EOL all at the same time, both of which aren‘t the case. As long as Batman still sells, there‘s little chance of the theme being abandoned. Laying low for a while might even benefit the theme in the long run

Good. Now they should add Bo-Katan (the same minifig as in the TCW set) or a second Darktrooper and nobody shall miss her presence

Makes me feel empty inside. So much CGI it's blinding and there's just so little point to it. They add all these characters knowing full well there won't be anything else coming from it (or so I hope ). I'm glad for those who wanted it to become a reality (at least the subset of fans that DIDN'T behave like spoiled, entitled toddlers), but I myself am not excited for it in the slightest. Btw, I wonder how they decided which New Gods to put in Writer: "Hey Zack, do you want to add some of Darkseid's lackeys from the comics here?" Synder: "Sure, as long as they're dark, evil, brooding, monstrous, brutal, bloodthirsty, and dark. This is a movie for adults." Writer: "So Steppenwolf, Darkseid's Uncle, is obviously part of it..." Snyder: "That's stupid by the way, it should be the other way round. Darkseid is Steppenwolf's uncle now. And he's a walking Swiss Army Knife of darkness." Writer: "But... Never mind. Ok, here's a list I compiled. How about DeSaad?" Snyder: "What's his deal?" Writer: "He's a torturer and..." Snyder: "HIRED!" Writer: "Ok, next we have Virman Vundabar. He's obsessed with Prussian..." Snyder: "Lame, next!" Writer: "Then there's Granny Goodne..." Snyder: "NEXT" Writer: "But she despicably brainwashes orphans to do her bidding and..." Synder: "I change my mind! You've had me at 'orphan'." Writer: "Anyone else?" Snyder: "Nah, they won't have any lines anyway and a screentime of roughly 3 femtoseconds in my 4 hour masterpiece, so tell the marketing to make sure they're in the trailer, okay? Also, start printing those Darkseid T-shirts and tell Jared to come here to shoot his scenes. I don't care if he's still auditioning for that The Crow remake."

D'awww, that's cute

That‘s not what the 18+ marketing ploy is for though Sure, just because they haven‘t used the 18+ label as a justification for sets based on R-rated material before doesn‘t necessarily mean it‘s never going to happen, but I‘ll only believe when I see it. In my eyes, that‘s still next to impossible.

That‘d still be leagues above what they would‘ve done 10 ten years ago; give her a red wizard‘s hut and call it a day All hail hair/hat combo moulds!

Thanks That thread already exists though, it’s called “Harry Potter 2021 - Rumors & Discussion” I already check this thread an unhealthy amount of times daily, expect it to get a lot worse then Though, by the time it happens, we might already have pictures of the June sets, so I can gawk at them all day long Nicely done I hope the official version, should we get one, would be similar to yours

Never gonna happen, that thing is R-rated

Huh, didn’t realise that was her The more you know...

@Guyon2002 & @BrickFunatic: Thanks guys I like that list, but I doubt any non-movie characters will get the minifig treatment anytime soon The house founders at least had promotional images, Binns and Grubbly-Plank don’t even have that luxury. And Burbage is out of the question for plot reasons. Her only scene involves getting tortured, mocked, and killed after pleading for her life, followed by becoming Naginis dinner. Doesn’t exactly sound like set material if you catch my drift The others I could see. If Sinistra and her 2 seconds of screentime are fair game, so are Vector and the Carrows

I hope something leaks soon to cheer me up a bit (learned yesterday I need to have my kidney stone removed surgically in April or so because of my stupid horseshoe mutant kidney making the usual procedures next to impossible) If I don’t make it, prepare for this place to be haunted Just kidding of course, it won’t be that dramatic and it doesn’t really change anything if stuff gets leaked before that or not The June wave sounds good enough to look forward to it regardless

You can never have too many Moodys though Speaking of mood: Here's my contribution to the guessing game, but it's not what I want, it's what I think it could be: $250: Too many of you still believe in Gringotts (with the exception of two or three), so my pick is a UCS Hogwarts Express as the buildable model $60: Remake of Hagrid's hut, but the PS version (technically still a remake of a post-2018 set) $120: Bell Towers, but not based on DH $40: Snape's classroom as the anniversary set with golden Snape (complete with glow-in-the-dark head of course ) $30: TARDIS Tent as the DH set Expectations sufficiently lowered, I hope

I’m with you, these lists all sound nice... TOO NICE We need to find some middle-ground here, neither this nor the 4+/Minidoll/Duplo night terrors are realistic enough I can’t offer any suggestions of value though, all I have is stupid metaphors

That’s cheating, you’re disqualified So I assume you pretended not to know the contents of the wave while composing the list, meaning some entries on the list might end up being true coincidentally? Because otherwise, you’ve just flat out told us what it won’t be

Ehhh... I hear a mountain lion! *1000 Internet points to you if you got that reference and no, I’m not gonna explain it* That has been confirmed already No idea. The R2 set is scheduled for May and the AT-AT sometime in Autumn I think, so Summer...-ish?

Plus there’s a difference between “lowering expectations” and “losing the last remaining speckles of hope in humanity”

That wouldn’t be that bad actually because it’s A) from the comics and B) still makes more sense than a Spider-man monster truck

Exactly. Instead of giving us silly vehicles for a character that obviously shouldn‘t have any, why not give the colourful, wacky vehicles to the villains? Basically, just swap the villains with Spidey and we‘re all set. The best non-MCU Spidey builds so far were the venomised builds. More of that, please Granted, some kids may think it‘s unfair if Spidey has to fight his enemies without any gadgets or personalised vehicles. Then again, even young kids should realise he‘s a superhero and therefore doesn‘t need any of that. Does Superman need vehicles?

They always do https://brickset.com/sets/tag-Minifigure-Pack

Thank Ole! What a relief No matter how disappointing these sets will be, at least we‘re still spared from this abject horror I have to revise my food analogy now, the Happy Meal is off the menue

This would suck BIG time. I already dislike 4+ sets in general (the bane of every completionist) and I‘m glad my favourite theme has been spared... so far. Nice prints, sure, but rarely any new minifigs, big, useless pieces, overpriced, and generally very unappealing to look at I can tolerate them for all the other themes, but not HP

Maybe they don‘t want K2 to steal the show again like he did in Rogue One They should let Grogu finish the job
