  1. I don't like how the camera focusses on that one Stormie taking aim at the end... Uh oh. The more I see of the TIE Avenger (?), the sadder I get. This is even less comprehensible than skipping the Fondor!
  2. The new Fluffy is by far my favourite out of the three! Yeah, the legs not being black is strange, but the moulded piece itself looks great!
  3. I‘m still mad at them for not creating a set based on the finale of TBoBF. Boba riding a Rancor while fighting Cad Bane, a battalion of Pyke soldiers, and a pair of giant droids, with support from Krrsantan, Mando & Grogu, and they just ignore it?? I‘ve never before seen a scene in a SW project that screamed this hard to be made into a set! …until Andor came along, which manages to get shafted even twice. First the Fondor, and now the TIE Avenger (?) I don‘t want to complain too much since a lot of shows got excellent coverage (Mando, Ahsoka, and Kenobi in particular), but others just get the bare minimum (Andor, Skeleton Crew, TBoBF) or nothing at all (Acolyte). I get it, new projects are always riskier than established ones, but come on, some of these would obviously sell well!
  4. Mr Potato Head is no longer out of reach thanks to TLG collaborating with Hasbro now, but that‘s sadly still very unlikely. Classic Bo-Peep is probably the best we can hope for in terms of new minifigs!
  5. I started playing in 1994 and collecting in 1999. Even back then, it had a more diverse portfolio compared to other toys, especially with Star Wars, Harry Potter and Spider-man entering the mix at that time. SW, HP, Spidey, and Adventurers (especially the Orient Expedition subtheme) The building techniques got a lot more sophisticated, we have so many versatile and unique pieces now, minifig design is leagues above compared to what we had back then, and the offerings got even more diversified with 18+ sets, Ideas and much more. Yes. Colour inconsistencies aside
  6. Yes please! As I said in the SW thread, I want one for every big theme I‘m collecting, so this would be more than welcome
  7. We actually never had a trans-orange 4L bar, only trans-neon orange ones, so this would be more than welcome!
  8. Except A) Marvel has a more limited selection roster of characters that could even be turned into buildable characters (hence us getting 3 Groots in the span of 2 years) and B) we already have buildable Marvel characters We know they avoid humans (for good reason), so what would they even do? Howard the Duck? 7 more Groots?
  9. Don’t do that, don’t give me hop. Fair enough
  10. We could’ve had Jaxxon in a set and instead we’re getting a green Duros?? LAME
  11. My guess would be the CTT, mostly because A) that would (partially) explain the low PPR with the large wheels and panel pieces, and B) the fact the RTG set was first rumoured to be a CTT. It'd be kinda hilarious if a CTT was rumoured to be one of two sets, only to then end up being neither of them
  12. Thank you, that got a good laugh out of me He's not gonna read it though since he's currently on an anti-license crusade. I fear he destroyed his Shadow boxes I know I'm kicking the fossilised remains of a dead horse here, but man is it sad to see all the Soup toys getting revealed. Maybe they know more than we do, but I still feel they're gonna regret their decision.
  13. So we now have yet another new rumour about 75413, with the source claiming it's the Stun Tank from the Zillo Beast arc of TCW Did we ever have a set before that was rumoured to be one of three things?! Not sure how I'd feel about the Stun Tank since it'd be a new vehicle, but one that has even less to do with Galactic Marines than the CTT.
  14. Given all the obvious evidence to the contrary, one might as well argue there's no Castle theme currently because they're afraid of the colour grey, for how much sense that makes
  15. I'm excited for four reasons: There is a story to tell since we don't know what happened to him between him escaping from Mandalore in TCW S7 and showing up on Malachor in Rebels S2. Him figuring out about the temple and its secrets with the potential for new Sith lore sounds exciting! A show focussing on a bad guy has never been done before in SW. Maul has been an interesting character to me ever since they brought him back in TCW and Witwer is excellent in the role. The fight scenes are gonna be awesome. We already know he's gonna defeat/kill at least one Inquisitor since his lightsaber in Rebels is a broken Inquisitor lightsaber and the Seventh Sister and Fifth Brother are visibly afraid of him, as if he's the boogeyman among the Inquisitorius, and probably for good reason
  16. I highly doubt it's gonna be Darth Talon in name though. Maul isn't a Sith anymore at this point and even intends to take his revenge on them (as he still does in Rebels), so it wouldn't make sense for his apprentice to get a Sith name. Character-wise, it could well be her, which is interesting as there once was a cancelled video game where Maul and Talon would have appeared together (which wouldn't have made any sense in the Legends continuity, given she was born loooooong after his death)
  17. So far, every animated canon show had at least two sets, so I hope this won’t change now! This is also our best chance to finally get a Dryden Voss minifig Starfighter has a lot of set potential too, just like M&G, or even more so! The only issue I currently see with the latter is that we haven’t seen any new vehicles or variants yet. I’d be kinda sad if the minifigs were the only unique thing about the sets.
  18. Dang, that was a badass teaser!! Now please officially release it on YT as well, I wanna watch it twelve more times before it gets deleted Looks like Mando hates AT-ATs even more than he dislikes droids, that was absolutely savage Fingers crossed you-know-who from the end of the teaser makes it into a set too! The necessary pieces were brought back, after all. And Starfighter sounds intriguing! I’m glad I changed my mind about Gosling a coupla years ago. 2011 me would have been livid with this news For context, I’m one of the few people who hated Drive and especially Gosling’s robot-like, more stoic than the Terminator-like be performance in it, and couldn’t stand to see him after that. I changed my opinion once I saw The Nice Guys and liked him in everything since!
  19. You misspelled awesome! Can‘t wait for the Pokémon sets next year plus the new Zelda D2C
  20. We haven‘t seen it yet, it could still be a proper one!
  21. 200 City sets a year… Turtle, I have no idea which dimension you‘re from, but it sure ain‘t the one we‘re all in
  22. The „Make a post about in-house themes without degrading licensed themes Challenge (IMPOSSIBLE)“ Also, what happened to your love for DC? Did you actually smash your beloved shadow boxes?
  23. The exclusive book minifig has been revealed, and it‘s Makena, one of the new-ish default skins! And an excerpt of the book also revealed the upcoming Pickaxe Mine, which includes Alex, the Prospector, and a polar bear
  24. It never was There was one user here that went „what if it‘s a book nook?!“ and for some reason that spiralled into people thinking that was an actual rumour.
  25. …you wanna save in-house themes by praying for their demise?? Bold strategy.
