LEGO Star Wars 2021 Set Discussion - READ FIRST POST!!!
BrickBob Studpants replied to MKJoshA's topic in LEGO Star Wars
It’s not a hero vehicle by design, but it’s being piloted by our heroes, so it could count as a “hero vehicle” anyway Codenames like that are rather flimsy anyway. -

@Guyon2002: Thanks for sharing The heart easter-egg is quite amusing, I love it when they hide details like that within the build Can’t wait to order it, hopefully at midnight -
Harry Potter 2020 - Rumors & Discussion
BrickBob Studpants replied to Captain Nemo's topic in LEGO Licensed
Do you mean before or after the first reboot? Some people argue the pre-2010 minifigs were going for a more realistic style, but I think that makes them more cartoonish in an uncanny-valley sort of way Just look at poor 2005!Ron, he looks like he’s stoned out of his mind That and the frog mouths In hindsight, I’m surprised they didn’t give them ears and noses as well -
A short teaser video has just been posted Can’t take that much longer now!

BrickBob Studpants replied to Captain Nemo's topic in LEGO Licensed
Meh. I think none of the pre-2010 minifigs are compatible with today’s style Sam Flynn’s face is a strange choice, but I still prefer it over 2005!Krum since it’s at least in the same style as all the other figures. -

That reminds me: LEGO HP fans in 2019: „This is nice and all, but where are the Weasleys?!“ LEGO HP fans in 2020: „StOp It AlReAdY, We’Ve HaD It WiTh ThEsE €&@%#* WeAsLeYs!!” Can’t please anyone Agreed. The wedding dress is nice and all, but these two versions are much more useful -

CMF S3? A set based on Dumbledore‘s failed arrest would make little sense, but I could see them including him in a random PS Hogwarts set -

Personally, I‘d rather they include him in a Battle of the 7 Potters or Battle of Hogwarts set -

I have to admit, something like that would be amazing It‘d be tricky to pull that off on a larger scale, but it‘s an excellent idea nonetheless -

I know, but they omitted his demise from the films, which has always been my major complaint with the DH movies His death was really poetic in the book, but apparently too graphic for the adaptation. What was the point of his silver hand in the films then? -

Was Pettigrew among them? I mean they didn't show his death nor did they mention him afterwards, soooo...... -
Lego Minecraft 2020 Rumors & Discussion
BrickBob Studpants replied to Harkonen's topic in LEGO Licensed
Two of the December sets have leaked, namely 21166 The Abandoned Mine and 21167 The Trading Post The llamas and the trader are definitely the highlights I‘m quite excited to see 21165 in detail too Edit: 21165 has leaked too! The bees are adorable and the new wing pieces are an interesting addition -

Stonewars has reported on your info as well, so you‘re getting famous whether you want to or not -
Harry Potter 2020 - Rumors & Discussion
BrickBob Studpants replied to Captain Nemo's topic in LEGO Licensed
There‘s plenty of interior they could easily incorporate into a potential set, I was wondering more about the exterior @Seaber: Thanks for the description! I really need to watch the films again and pay more attention to these sorts of details (once I get the Blu-ray collection back from whomever’s borrowed them from me) -
Harry Potter 2020 - Rumors & Discussion
BrickBob Studpants replied to Captain Nemo's topic in LEGO Licensed
I get the appeal of potential interior scenes, what I have problems with is the exterior. I wouldn‘t want them to „waste“ a $130 spot on GP when there are so many things we could get instead, like the chamber of secrets, the shrieking shack, Hogwarts expansions or Gringotts IMO, GP is best served as the backdrop for the next advent calendar That‘s another one I don‘t really get. Does the LC even have an exterior to speak of? Apart from the entrance I mean -

BrickBob Studpants replied to Captain Nemo's topic in LEGO Licensed
Ninjago City was a D2C set though And Technic is its own separate beast I still fail to see the appeal. How do you turn THIS into a desirable set? It‘s purposefully made to look as drab and ordinary as possible. The interior is pretty interesting, I’ll give it that (and the appeal of a OotP Sirius is hard to deny), but that alone is not a viable option for a $130 set, at least IMO -
Harry Potter 2020 - Rumors & Discussion
BrickBob Studpants replied to Captain Nemo's topic in LEGO Licensed
The price point suggests otherwise though... Or when was the last time you’ve seen a non-D2C set above $200? Agreed. It‘s funny to me that some people question the Super Mario add-on system (starting point: $60) while others would wholeheartedly support a Hogwarts add-on (starting point: $500) Would be even funnier if those were the same people -
Jurassic World 2020 - Rumors & Discussion
BrickBob Studpants replied to Captain Nemo's topic in LEGO Licensed
To me, this depends heavily on the specific Subreddits Some are infested with hateful morons *cough* STC *cough*, others are quite pleasant. This doesn‘t necessarily reflect on the platform as a whole Back to JW: Are you referring to their opinions on FK? I‘ve seen A LOT of hatred for FK, but that was all over the Internet, not just Reddit. I never got why so many people took this film THAT seriously It‘s just a fun adventure flick, no harm in that -

Harry Potter 2020 - Rumors & Discussion
BrickBob Studpants replied to Captain Nemo's topic in LEGO Licensed
Thanks to the DA set, this would be an absolute no-brainer This wouldn‘t require even a single new print BTW, people on IG claim there are 20th anniversary sets among the summer wave, but as far as I can tell there‘s no source attached to these rumours. It‘s definitely not implausible, but still... -

BrickBob Studpants replied to Captain Nemo's topic in LEGO Licensed
Me too The prototype in the catalogue looked pretty unremarkable, but if the minifig’s on par with the new McGonagall, we‘re in for a treat! And so the 2021 minifig leak season finally begins, bring the rest on -

Can someone verify the legitimacy of the McGonagall leak? This looks phenomenal, I hope it's real -

BrickBob Studpants replied to Captain Nemo's topic in LEGO Licensed
To each their own, I guess I just like riddles and hints, which is a lot more fun to me than getting a straightforward info dump. You-know-who‘s „intel“ was bogus, but at least the guessing game surrounding it was fun. Same goes for the leaked sticker sheets, which were a enjoyable distraction to me as well But of course I can see why many people would prefer the latter and just cut to the chase
