Harry Potter 2021 - Rumors & Discussion
BrickBob Studpants replied to Captain Nemo's topic in LEGO Licensed
What about Brickheadz could be anniversary-themed though? Ones based on the 2001 minifigs with yellow skin? If so, give me a Brickhead of glow-in-the-dark Snape -
We don‘t know for certain of course, but the design lead stated in an interview last year that they didn‘t spend this much time on the development of the theme only for it to disappear again shortly thereafter Depends on the sales of course, but they definitely have good reason to be confident in the theme. It‘s Nintendo after all

There were originally 12 sets, split into two waves. The JWD wave was postponed, presumably exactly a year (i.e. April 2022). The second wave still gets released in August, with 4 sets Can‘t recall the prices and piece counts, but the largest one has quite a small parts count, suggesting the presence of at least one larger dino The set you‘ve mentioned is one of the two JW Duplo sets -

Not sure what to expect any more... @Guyon2002 has brought up a good point yesterday, Korg’s head piece could still turn out to be an early leak for the 2HY sets. Leaks this far in advance are rare, but we‘ve seen even more extreme examples before, like Trudgen‘s head piece that leaked in July while the minifig itself wasn‘t released until January, similarly to the Mr Dinkles head piece from the Trolls theme. I think we have no choice but to wait for additional leaks. However, the most annoying thing about it is that we don‘t know which month the D2C is scheduled for release. If it‘s in May, it‘ll be only one month before the 2HY get released, which means the leaks for both could easily overlap -
LEGO Star Wars 2021 Set Discussion - READ FIRST POST!!!
BrickBob Studpants replied to MKJoshA's topic in LEGO Star Wars
That depends on one‘s level of pedantry If you consider those 2in1 or 3in1 sets to be their own sets - they do get a unique number after all - then those count as retail exclusives you can’t find on s@h -

I like a good pun That idea would actually be amazing, despite the inevitable recast. Gleeson‘s son Domnhall immediatedly came to mind, before I quickly realised he A) doesn‘t ressemble his father that much and B) was already in DH as Bill Weasley Maybe it’s a series revolving around Voldemort‘s first rise to power, which Moody would be a pretty big part of too, even though we basically know all about that era that needs to be known. Then again, we originally thought the same thing about the Clone Wars after ROTS and it could still fill 7+ seasons. Whatever they up doing (if it‘s happening at all, HBO is denying everything at the moment), just don‘t remake the films and I‘ll watch it, promise B2T: I hope for a minifig leak at the month of February so we can keep up with the Marvel thread. Look how much it skyrocketed yesterday, leaving us in the dust -

BrickBob Studpants replied to Captain Nemo's topic in LEGO Licensed
That possibility didn‘t even cross my mind Well, that would certainly explain why we get another Batsy vs Joker set this soon after the last one A new cowl mould is out of the question then. Probably won‘t be anything to write home about, but it‘s to see some variety in the 4+ sets -

This has been dismissed more than once Parts from a set intended to be released in September do not leak in February already ACs do not introduce new moulds QED -

Korg has to be included in the D2C set then, no way parts from the 2HY are already leaking Still hoping for MCU sets in the summer of course, but a $300 MCU set that includes Korg has to be good -
DC Superheroes 2021 - Rumors & Discussion
BrickBob Studpants replied to Captain Nemo's topic in LEGO Licensed
Good point, TLBM did indeed fill some of the few remaining gaps. I have another idea though: Seeing how the ‘no new minifig moulds in D2C sets’ has been lifted since the 60’s batcave, they could introduce a new cowl mould for AdamWest!Batsy I’d be happy with that as well -
In terms of my favourite film and TV franchises, everything I was ever a fan of has now been covered to some extent, the last gaps having been filled by the Aston Martin in 2018 and the Upside Down in 2019. Thus, my remaining dream themes come from the realm of videogames, mainly other Nintendo franchises. Mario has been crossed out too (still can’t believe this actually happened), but Zelda, Kirby, Animal Crossing, and Pokémon are all still deeply engrained into my wishlist Sure, the Mario theme is here to stay, but we have no idea if they’ll ever extend the license to other franchises (case in point: Overwatch, which people thought would lead to a WoW theme). So close, yet so far...

The way I used ‘legacy’ here means everything from the MCU pre-pandemic, both films they’ve covered before and ones they’ve missed or ignored -

BrickBob Studpants replied to Captain Nemo's topic in LEGO Licensed
Me too I was pretty ‘meh’ on the whole 2HY list, mainly because the MCU stuff will be delayed anyway and the expectations for the Avengers sets were low. But this news changes everything. I haven’t been this excited for a Marvel wave since Infinity War -

BrickBob Studpants replied to Captain Nemo's topic in LEGO Licensed
Keep in mind that’s not necessarily an exclusive ‘or’, in the best-case scenario both the D2C set AND the 2HY Avengers sets are based on the MCU However, I hope we don’t run into a monkey’s paw situation here -

BrickBob Studpants replied to Captain Nemo's topic in LEGO Licensed
So he’s either included in the D2C set or one of the 2HY sets... Personally, I’d prefer the latter, because that would basically confirm that these sets are not based on the game. If it’s the former though... Enix ahoi -

Huh, I’ve never noticed that That definitely helps justifying a Ronin minifig -
Marvel Superheroes 2021 - Rumors & Discussion
BrickBob Studpants replied to Captain Nemo's topic in LEGO Licensed
At first, I was quite disappointed when Ronin wasn’t included in the Endgame sets. After seeing the film though, I thought they made the right decision by including the quantum suit version instead. I mean, Hawkeye wore the Ronin costume for a single (awesome) scene It’d still be nice to get him of course, but the costume definitely wasn’t as important as we first thought -

Good ol’ trickster Kingwong75 has posted an innocent-looking picture of the 60’s Batman and Robin on IG. Given his fondness for cryptic posts, this could hint at the vehicle this year’s D2C set will depict If this ends up being the case, I hope for at least one new character that wasn’t already included in the 60’s batcave. Pretty tricky though -

BrickBob Studpants replied to Captain Nemo's topic in LEGO Licensed
Kingwong75 is known for his crytic posts (if you remember the Ghostrider leak or last year’s HP leaks), but this has to imply a fig based on his MCU version, right? I know I shouldn’t get too excited, but my hope for “legacy” MCU sets has risen a couple of percent now -

Unless another whoopsie happens in the same vein as last year’s premature HP S2 reveal, but I’m convinced they’ve since taken precautions to make sure something like that never happens again -

BrickBob Studpants replied to Captain Nemo's topic in LEGO Licensed
Sorry to burst your bubble, but: That idea doesn’t gel at all with the prices There’s not much “anniversary” themed about that, if we assume the alleged leaker is right Speaking of which: They have corrected their info to 3 connecting sets This info is very likely fake since not a single other source has corroborated it -
Harry Potter 2021 - Rumors & Discussion
BrickBob Studpants replied to Captain Nemo's topic in LEGO Licensed
Realistically, only when the set pictures get revealed in late April Since our only reliable source for set names from the last few years has fallen victim to COVID (that being the toy fairs), there’s little chance for any leaks besides minifig parts -
