As a psychologist myself, I‘m not sure whether I should be offended or not Seriously though, I can see some potential here! It‘s gonna be interesting to see what the smart brick can actually do. It clearly won‘t replace traditional sets though, as some seem to fear. The cost alone would be astronomical.

Hey, I’m a pretty vocal advocate for a TIE Avenger set! I only blaspheme against everyone‘s favourite redhead waifu here

Two specialised TIE Fighters in such close proximity? Doubtful. Sure, we had the Bomber and Interceptor both in the 1HY of 2023, but the latter was a tie-in for Mando S3, whereas the Advanced and Avenger are both „old“ Had a new variant featured in M&G, I‘d have given that a higher chance. Speaking of which: While the leakers haven‘t said anything yet, those fours unknown sets are likely based on M&G anyway.

Plus it ties into Hogsmeade the same way the Borgin & Burkes GWP had a thematic link to the Burrow D2C set I like this choice since that means that all four appearances of the RoR have now been covered, technically! Sure, the HBP version was not really a room, but that‘s where the vanishing cabinet canonically was, and we did get that in the 2010 Hogwarts set Speaking of which: I wonder if the vanishing cabinet will make an appearance in the rebooted theme at some point. It’s one of the very few elements they haven‘t remade yet!

Again, it‘s not that they were hyping up a remake that‘s the issue, but doing so while everyone was expecting something else It‘s like hyping up a Superman comic set knowing full well people want movie sets, for instance. Not unreasonable, but definitely not reading the room properly.

I hope the OT fans are happy with their boring remakes I guess the next time we get a Landspeeder, the leakers will hype that up too

Bruh. Did the leakers seriously hype up TIE Advanced #6 or so, knowing full well that everyone wanted a TIE Avenger?! Is this a joke?

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! It‘s actually a TIE Advanced?! I jinxed it! My suggestion was just supposed to be an example! Well there goes our TIE Avenger. My condolences to @CloneCommando99. And another Luke’s X-Wing eurghhhhh The saving grace for the 1HY sets is definitely the Mando stuff.

It‘s rumoured to be a TIE Fighter, so I wouldn‘t get my hopes up for anything too fancy One of the minifigs is allegedly the same TIE pilot from the UCS TIE Interceptor

I like your choices, but there’s no way they‘ll skip Drum Island We need Chopper stat!

Ohh, a fellow Ratatouille fan! Still my favourite Pixar movie to this day, and yet severely lacking in set representation. 43221 doesn‘t count

Likely nothing. We just got two Marvel busts with a „helmet“ sandwiched in-between, so they‘re pretty clearly not intended as a replacement ^^

Those are Star Wars set numbers though. The previous sets were 75571-79, and then last year Despicable Me 4 took over, continuing with 75580-83. If the theme comes back, it’ll either get entirely new numbers or continue with 75584

I chuckle every time people say they got his poster in the worst possible set I haven‘t opened my copies yet despite them having arrived last Monday, since I wanted to save the best for last, and so decided to build everything else first A week later and I‘m still not done! Only Mecha Team Leader, the Quinjet, Batmobile, Doc Ock Train, and the Botanicals left before I will finally build them

Toy Story 5 will very likely get sets, but I imagine those would be released in June, and this is the 1HY list

They might still include more in the S2 sets, like they did with the chocolate frog cards and the portraits in HP! Then again, they may also introduce new posters in those sets

The prices are $80, $30, and $30 respectively. Hopefully no Batmobiles or Batwings, but we‘ll see

The theme kicks off with two 18+ sets, one $60 and the other $200 Pikachu and Charizard, anyone?

Yes, they‘re apparently scheduled for March! You could argue that it’s no surprise then that we don’t know more about them yet, but some leakers do know what they are, so that‘s not really a sound argument I’d say the four new unknowns are all M&G sets, with more spoilery sets coming in August ^^

We‘re getting 2 more Disney Classic and 3 Pixar sets next year! Both subthemes have a $150 18+ set each. The teaser features a picture of Dug from Up, so the Pixar one could be him ^^ Fingers crossed for new minifigs!

Love the new Death Star! I still need to find a spot for it as this is gonna be a though one to display. The vitriol online is astounding. We also got a bunch of new set numbers, some of which surely are for M&G sets. Still no update on the two unknown Imperial and Rebel sets though Oh, and there‘s gonna be a Yoda bust!

Of course EB falls into a coma right when a wave of news hits So, we have 3 DC sets in March! Fingers crossed for something more exciting than just more Batmobiles and Jonklers Regular costumes for Killer Croc, Scarecrow, and Bane would be a good start!

Since the koala and cat obviously don‘t count, I also only got 2 right (frog & dolphin). Does anyone have more than 2? Wrong, they‘re apes

Fingers crossed, but it doesn‘t seem overly likely to me as we surely would‘ve heard something by now

A trailer for S2 is probably too much to hope for, but at least we should get a release date! That way, we can also estimate when to expect the next wave of sets
