  1. That we shouldn’t trust people who spew obvious Kre-o on instagram? I mean the same people also claim that Bionicle is coming back, how more blatant can they get
  2. And even that’s excessive IMO. Benny’s Spaceship was a commonly available set, so why is that piece in particular this ridiculously expensive? Sometimes I really don’t get the aftermarket
  3. Can we finally stop paying attention to would-be leakers with 0 posts beforehand? Ignore them, and they’ll go away.
  4. This seems incredibly suspicious, and I’m not talking about the set number discrepancy. Plus, one of the “leakers” involved has stolen @Falconfan1414’s IG profile picture, probably in an attempt to boost their credibility, so these “leaks” are safe to ignore. Why does this keep happening?!
  5. How about leaving the cape off entirely? His torso print is quite detailed after all
  6. Thankfully, the scalpers’ lucky streak is pretty much over when it comes to regular and D2C sets (convention exclusives, not so much). Sure, most sets still get more expensive on the aftermarket once they reach their EOL, but not as ludicrously expensive as 10 years ago. The scalpers’ greed was their own undoing: after they’ve struck gold with sets like the AT-OT, other people’s attention was caught and the lucrativeness of “LEGO investment” (*shudder*) was no longer a secret. Now, everyone and their grandma are horting sets in the hopes of excessive resale values in the future but that won’t happen again so quickly
  7. Have fun Mine will arrive tomorrow, unless Swiss customs have their say in this
  8. Too bad the range of Mando merch they revealed today to celebrate the trailer (T-Shirts and the like) doesn’t include the upcoming set, that would’ve been too nice At least we finally got something to chew on though
  9. So that’s where that ridiculous Endgame would-be “leak” came from that suggested Tony would be revealed as Kang
  10. Since Kang is a time traveler, there are a lot of options how they could handle the character. Maybe it’s an origin story of sorts and he’s not even a villain in this movie The MCU likes to switch things around like that
  11. There are rumours that Ant-Man 3 kickstarts the Young Avengers... If so, this would fit quite well. B2T: I wonder why the Eternals sets are missing from the 2021 list... Maybe it just includes new numbers, and the ones from the Eternals sets have been known for a while after all I’m also curious if there’s a chain reaction of sorts for the other sets, which I assume there will be, given the new release schedule for the upcoming films
  12. We never know beforehand. Sometimes, it’s around midnight, and at other times, it’s 10 o’clock in the morning. I don’t think there’s a pattern to it, so we won’t know before midnight
  13. In what way did they do The Hobbit dirty though? The only important character they left out was Bolg, apart from him we basically got everything we needed And the LOTR sets were amazing, all that was needed was one more wave to fill some of the more egregious gaps... I’m usually a glass-half-full sort of person, so I’m more happy with what we got than angry with what we didn’t B2T: So we’re definitely back to square one in regards to the TIE Fighter. My guess then would be a TIE Pilot, Stormie and a random third Imperial (technician, gunner, Death Star trooper, or officer).
  14. I think that depends heavily on what 71380 actually is If it's a Luigi starter pack, then I would assume that at least one of the power-ups will be for him
  15. Hm, my level of interest in this set has just risen significantly Shame the X-Wing doesn‘t have the same potential since we already know its minifig roster
  16. Hm, then I assume that the person who created the fake leak based it on that description
  17. This sounds like a description of the fake leak I‘ve talked about on the previous page
  18. If you happen to see a pixelated TIE Fighter “leak“ on IG, it‘s fake It‘s just the 4+ version with other side-builds and minifigs
  19. To everyone who pre-ordered the CMF series from minifigmaddness: https://mobile.twitter.com/minifigmaddness/status/1304552343082618880 Can‘t wait
  20. Agreed. Maybe not every single one them, but the majority has to be based on Dominion since the tie-in sets have to be released in 1HY (my guess would be late April or early May), based on the film’s current release date. Of course the film may get delayed, but then so will the sets
  21. At least we’re getting one this time around Based on what exactly? We don’t have anything but prices for most of them
  22. Thanks to @Falconfan1414, here's our set list for the 1HY of 2021: 71380, $59.99 71381, $19.99 71382, $29.99 71383, $39.99 71384, $9.99 71385, $9.99 71386, $4.99 I hope 71386 is a second series of figures And 71380 would be at the ideal price point for a Luigi starter pack
  23. We really should’ve gotten suspicious that only the heads were visible in the later “leaks”. Hindsight bias yadda yadda, I know I still hope for as many characters as possible, but that is definitely a setback
  24. *squints at 2001 Peeves* I’m good, actually I don’t quite see the point of designing minifigs of book-exclusive characters, unless there’s some scrapped concept art WB have lying around somewhere
  25. Maybe it's not Cho but one of the Patil twins instead Their minifigs share the same skin tone after all, for whatever reason
