I thought the pink hair was a separate mould, but upon closer inspection, you’re probably right

The recently leaked bunny head that’s part of the Vidiyo theme could work for Rabbit I think Either that or the Bugs Bunny head from the CMF series, depending on whether the facial details are printed or moulded

Harry Potter 2021 - Rumors & Discussion
BrickBob Studpants replied to Captain Nemo's topic in LEGO Licensed
We don’t really have a pattern there any more. We thought we did, until the 2021 price list dropped 2018: 1 wave, 1 D2C, 1 CMF 2019: 2 waves, 1 AC 2020: 1 wave, 1 D2C, 1 CMF, 1 AC 2021: 3 waves (!), 1 D2C, 1 AC What even is this?! As @Guyon2002 points out, don’t expect to see anything official before the end of April. However, keep your eyes peeled for minifig factory leaks, which should start somewhere between late February and the middle of March -
LEGO Star Wars 2021 Set Discussion - READ FIRST POST!!!
BrickBob Studpants replied to MKJoshA's topic in LEGO Star Wars
I think the real problem is last year’s pointless Death Star Duel set rather than the new shuttle. If that set was based on the Duel on Exegol instead, they could have spared arm-printed Vader and the Royal Guards for the shuttle and (almost) everyone would be happy Then again, in that case the arm-printed version of Vader would have been exclusive to the Bespin Duel set for quite a while, drawing even more ire from fans... -

Well, then it’s settled, there is no third helmet unless it’s an unknown exclusive with a completely different set number -

BrickBob Studpants replied to MKJoshA's topic in LEGO Star Wars
Does anyone remember which set number the alleged third helmet had? Because there’s no third helmet any more, neither on stonewars’ list nor on jedijacpenguin’s 75303 is the cancelled or delayed D2C set, 75304 and 75305 are the confirmed helmets, 75306 is the probe droid and 75307 recently turned out to be the advent calendar. I have a feeling it was 75307 before the 2HY list got revealed, must’ve been a mistake then -

BrickBob Studpants replied to Captain Nemo's topic in LEGO Licensed
Isn’t that the norm though? Studios highlighting current instalments over past ones only makes sense And I don’t think the original JP is ignored, they are well aware of its status. And there were plenty of nods to it too, especially in JW. Granted, TLW and JP3 are pretty much ignored, but can you really blame them? -
Jurassic World 2021 - Rumors & Discussion
BrickBob Studpants replied to Captain Nemo's topic in LEGO Licensed
Gennaro would be a fun minifig to get, but I’m not sure if they’re willing to release a minifig based on a character who’s best known for his death scene Sure, a lot of other JP characters that did get the minifig treatment also have iconic deaths, but they at least have something else going for them on top of that (Nedry’s screensaver, his dialogue with Dodgson, everything leading up to his death, or Arnold’s lines and the fact he’s played by Samuel L. Jackson). -
Jurassic World 2021 - Rumors & Discussion
BrickBob Studpants replied to Captain Nemo's topic in LEGO Licensed
If the original list is 100% correct, we're probably looking at 8 sets based on JWD. Of course not all of them have to be, but if they weren't, there wouldn't be a reason to delay them, would there With this high amount of sets, the minifig roster should be big enough to include the trio, Lowery, and Dodgson -

Which would also be great for the people wishing to replace Molly’s hairpiece ...watch them reuse that hairpiece or using Ginny/Maisie’s instead -
Jurassic World 2021 - Rumors & Discussion
BrickBob Studpants replied to Captain Nemo's topic in LEGO Licensed
You could argue Lockwood didn’t do much, expect lying in bed, getting killed and having made some questionable decisions But I agree, it would have made a lot of sense to include minifigs of Lockwood and Iris in a set that’s basically named after the former. Well, by that point in the film, Maisie was technically the owner of the manor, but still Your Mills is a millsion times better than the official kitbash I love me some bad puns -

BrickBob Studpants replied to Captain Nemo's topic in LEGO Licensed
Of course I‘m not expecting them to be in every single JWD set, but there were certainly enough of them in the JWFK line-up too Luckily, they didn’t sacrifice other characters, so I wouldn’t expect that to happen next year either. I’m more concerned about this year’s sets, but the last sentence in your comment does give me hope -
Jurassic World 2021 - Rumors & Discussion
BrickBob Studpants replied to Captain Nemo's topic in LEGO Licensed
One thing I‘d like to see in the upcoming wave, and I do realise how unrealistic that is, would be a larger variety of minifigs. Their quality is great, don‘t get me wrong, but I‘m sick and tired of the Owen & Claire army. They‘ve basically turned into Minecraft Steve and Alex The people complaining that both were only included in one set back in 2015 definitely got what they asked for The chances for a change there are quite low, but maybe they went a different route here considering that the delayed JWD wave would‘ve included plenty of these two anyway? Probably just wishful thinking on my end though. I also realise that the dinos are ultimately the stars of the show, which they should be IMO. But it‘d still be nice to get a bit more minifig variety or at least fewer Owens and Claires -

Not sure what you‘re trying to prove here, the reviews on Brickset just reflect the writer’s opinion It‘s not more valid than your opinion, mine, or anybody else‘s. Edit: Ninja‘d -

Yeah, we can kiss the HP set list goodbye now... which means the minifig leak guessing game is back on the menu, boys!! There's an upside to everything -
Exactly, it’s a deliberate aspect of the character design. Children love to give their teddies doll clothes, whether they even remotely fit or not His rather rotund stature adds to that effect

BrickBob Studpants replied to Captain Nemo's topic in LEGO Licensed
You guys are way too focused on minifig-scaled stuff in your predictions This could very well be a Hulkbuster-type situation, where everyone was expecting pretty much the same things you are naming now. Maybe it‘s something completely off the wall like a statue of Thanos (though that would require too many new parts in lavender) or a UCS-style Quinjet -

No way is the exclusive set a snowspeeder. That vehicle is TLG‘s holy grail, their omnipotent god immortalised in brick form, their golden glue that holds the universe together. It has to be front and center, no chance it gets relegated to a puny retailer unworthy of its pure awesomeness -
The torso print looks legit As @Foxes Productionz points out, he has minifig-like eyes rather than black dots Dual-moulded arms with red sleeves and bright light orange arms don‘t exist yet Therefore, I‘d say it‘s real Bring on the rest!

You sure about that? Of course the name was different, but unlike the NES, the European SNES looked exactly like the Japanese version The odd one out was the US version Super Famicom: US garbage: PAL version: -
Jurassic World 2021 - Rumors & Discussion
BrickBob Studpants replied to Captain Nemo's topic in LEGO Licensed
Exactly. So, B2T: I‘m still a bit confused about the amount of sets that were initially slated for release this year. I can‘t recall any other theme that went from 4 sets in one year to 12 the next one (only the other way round ). The high amount of JWD sets I get, but the extra non-JWD stuff is a bit weird. This has a sort of ‚big finale‘ feel to it, which does make sense, at least superficially. However, TLG don‘t usually send off themes in this manner, in all cases I can think of the last wave is either normal-sized (Hobbit, LOTR, Indiana Jones, etc.) or pretty small (TLM, TLM2, TLNM, Trolls, 2011!HP). So is the theme popular enough to get this treatment? If so, why doesn‘t it get any special mention in the financial reports? -
Thanks I forgot about the 3 month shift between s@h and retail release dates for Ideas sets and I also failed to realise the price was in CAD $100 sounds a lot more reasonable to me. My main concern is the amount of minifigs for this set, which directly correlates with the amount of new moulds. The Sesame Street set had 5 at $120, so I expect 4 in this one (Pooh, Piglet, Tigger, and Rabbit). Eeyore would have to be axed then, which isn’t too bad in my eyes since he obviously wouldn‘t work as a minifig anyway. The brick-built version in the original submission doesn‘t work either

I love his work, especially everything associated with Ahsoka, but neither he nor Favreau should become the head of Lucasfilm as some lunatics demand. Of course both work as producers too in some projects, but their talents are needed in the creative and storytelling departments, not primarily in the producer‘s chair (which is why I highlighted the importance of that distinction before) And people demanding Feige to take over annoy me too, the guy can‘t split into two Overseeing both Marvel and SW at once would break any sane person Edit: I think we‘re drifting off too far into off-topic territories -

He did get his very own faceprint in the 2018 Bricktober set though, I‘d rather they reuse that one -

I don‘t get why people keep harping on Kennedy, like every experienced producer she has popular and less popular products under her belt. Some idiots keep blaming her for the ST, while denying her credit for Mando, which she both produced Also, people don‘t seem to get the differences between directors and producers. Anyway, back to topic. I think it mainly depends on the license fees whether the JW theme has a future. As long as the license promotes sales that exceed what an in-house dino theme could do, it’s pretty likely it’ll continue in some capacity (maybe hibernating again between films)
