He‘s at the very top of my wishlist! Of course we have a lot of other missing characters (like all of the holiday ones), but I won‘t consider this theme „complete“ before we at least get him

I like the idea of collectibles like this a lot, but the randomisation procedure seemingly needs some work Both the portraits as well as the posters have lots of duplicates in the same set whereas it seemed to be better spread out with the chocolate frog cards and the Vidiyo tiles. I don‘t recall as many complaints with the latter two and I personally also had fewer duplicates with those! Luckily, they all appear to be equally common at least. Imagine if they did this with Pokémon tiles next year, but with the rarity levels the TCG has!

Not aiming very high if the fourth remake of a set is your dream (and that‘s me being generous by not counting the versions in the two Death Stars and Vader‘s Fortress or the rereleases of the 1999 set) To each their own, but even within the realm of OT remakes I can easily think of more exciting options, like a B-Wing for instance. Or another set with Mon Mothma!

My sweet summer child… We should consider ourselves lucky if we get costumes for the jumpsuit villains instead of more Jonklers and Harleys. Anything beyond that is a bit too much to ask for, I‘m afraid

Having just built some of the One Piece sets, I‘m now wondering whether the portraits will continue to appear in the 1HY sets at least. I‘m still missing two of them, and resorting to Bricklink isn‘t fun The chocolate frog cards ended after two years, so it‘s not super likely, but it‘d be a nice thing to continue since it‘s still the same castle system and unlike the cards, the portraits are actually incorporated into the builds!

Just built the three smaller sets (plus the two BrickHeadz) and love them all The attention to detail is incredible! Poster-wise, I got two Buggys, two Mihawks, Alvida, and Don Krieg so far. The biggest two sets have nine posters combined, but given how many duplicates in the same sets people have had, I‘d say chances are low I‘m gonna get the remaining four Off to Bricklink then!

It‘s not just me though, people on EB and other platforms have been cheering for a TIE Avenger ever since the Andor S2 trailers came out. Way to dismiss poor @CloneCommando99‘s valiant efforts! I don‘t recall anyone openly asking for a new TIE Advanced before I foolishly brought up the idea recently, at least not as much as other set ideas. Yeah, I admit I was reading too much into it in hindsight, but still. A lot of leakers frequent this forum, and there‘s no way they could‘ve missed our discussions over the last couple of months.

This really is the year of Neville, huh I like the GWP quite a lot!

Both the minifigs and build of the Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory have leaked Looks great! The minifigs are incredibly spot-on

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
