Personal preferences I guess For me it's just easier to get my mind off something I haven't seen yet compared to something that's "out there" which I can't get my hands on for what feels like an eternity

I’m sort of glad nothing from the Eternals sets has leaked. Imagine seeing leaks of cool sets and/or minifigs, only for them to get pushed back an entire year It’s frustrating either way, but at least this is the less annoying option IMO

Yeah, this sucks. I wonder why Shang-Chi and Eternals switched positions

Thanks I need to rewatch the film at some point, it’s been a while since I’ve last seen it

Joker’s great, but I’m gutted it’s not Bob after all Who’s this doofus? Can’t recall him from the movie Exactly

Called it Let’s see if Bob reuses the Butch Cavendish hair/hatpiece, like I predicted Of course, he’s our number one guy!

The description mentions a “sand pedestal”, so it’s either a direct reissue of the 2018 version or at least very similar to it. Even if it’s a different piece (e.g. the Hidden Side ghost effect piece), chances are it’s going to be a sandy torso

The Batman vs Joker set is 4+, according to promobricks: https://www.promobricks.de/lego-super-heroes-2021-neuheiten/109095/ So not a single regular set so far I hope this means they have a lot of sets planned for The Batman

More info, courtesy of promobricks: https://www.promobricks.de/lego-super-heroes-2021-neuheiten/109095/ The Iron Man vs Thanos and Spidey vs Sandman sets will be 4+ Missed opportunity for a Thanoscopter right there

Looks like you’ve joined the dark side Time to push YOU down the stairs and pry some 501st Clones from your cold, dead hands

I’m not sure if this has been brought up before, but what are the chances the X-Wing minifigs are placeholders too? It just strikes me as odd that they would use placeholders for a set that most likely won’t introduce completely new minifigs anyway, yet use the proper minifigs for another set Is this a new strategy to throw us off? Another nail in the leak coffin, if so

I hope that someone isn’t me I wouldn’t mind it, but only after they’ve done everything else we absolutely need to get out of this theme I wonder how they would approach some of the characters though if we were to get sets. Maybe I’m wrong, but the trailer gave me the impression that the main character is customisable and that there are divergent story paths based on your decisions. Limits set potential a bit IMO

Well, that’s a twist... Still doesn’t explain the SW set number discrepancy. Or was that a different leaker (or a would-be one) altogether?

That source isn’t trustworthy though, grains of salt are advised

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

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

Can we finally stop paying attention to would-be leakers with 0 posts beforehand? Ignore them, and they’ll go away.

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?!

How about leaving the cape off entirely? His torso print is quite detailed after all

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

Have fun Mine will arrive tomorrow, unless Swiss customs have their say in this

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

So that’s where that ridiculous Endgame would-be “leak” came from that suggested Tony would be revealed as Kang

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

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
