Finally some news! 77059 releases for $59.99, according to @Lego_Minecraft_Goat. He thinks this is unlikely to be a smart brick set.

That's my thinking. I'm aware TBB S3 got nothing, as @Meaf points out, but this is friggin Maul we're talking about As for Ahsoka, we're still not sure if S2 actually comes out this year or not. As the only live-action show in (post) production, maybe they want to launch it early next year as an additional way to celebrate the anniversary? I guess we'll learn in the coming months, but I wouldn't be surprised. Skeleton Crew was delayed by an entire year despite being long finished, after all.

The Shadow Lord trailer looks great! The first episode airs in April. Probably wishful thinking, but I kinda hope that unknown $45 set ties in with the show.

@Roebuck It‘s the least likely out of all the suggestions I‘ve heard because MOTU is owned by Mattel. There‘s no reason for them to give their competitor a license when they have two construction toy brands at their disposal (Mega & Brick Shop). TLG collaborate with Hasbro now, sure, but that friendship was forged out of the ashes of Kre-o‘s demise My money‘s still on Shrek, even though it‘d be kinda weird to have a CMF series this year and potential sets next year, even if the former is based on the first 4 movies and the latter on the 5th one. Shrek feels like a franchise that is best served with playsets anyway But yeah, a better candidate still hasn‘t emerged so far.

My manifestation powers are at it again

Agreed! Sets from the 2010s in general have aged better than some people give them credit for. They‘ve aged better than a lot of sets from the 2000s for sure I display all the LOTR sets together and the new sets blend in with the original ones very well ^^

Calling people stupid for buying sets you deem overpriced doesn‘t exactly comply with netiquette, you know. Also, speaking as a psychologist, IQ tests are overrated and almost always interpreted wrongly, but I digress Can‘t help but point it out every time I see IQs being used as an argument. Feel free to call sets overpriced, but please don‘t call people dumb for buying them.

We‘re still getting all the M&G sets (AT-AT, Anzellan Ship, Razor Crest, Sandcrawler, X-Wing, and maybe more) plus a handful of the sets from the 2027 list, so it‘s not like the SB sets outweigh everything else

With Doomsday coming out in December, I wouldn‘t be surprised if it was another MCU-themed one, but based on the Infinity Saga. September is too early for Doomsday tie-in sets Not sure if previous X-Men sets and the FF one last year sold well enough to have an AC dedicated to either team.

Hey, I want my M&G sets this year! Out of the affected list, the only one I‘d be really sad about is the Bounty Hunter Pursuit. Alas, we‘ve waited for so long, might as well wait another year

Technically, June counts as 2HY from TLG‘s perspective, so we‘ll still have a 2HY wave. Moreover, don’t forget that some of the sets on that list are still coming! Goat simply said „most“ of those sets are coming out in 2027, probably as in more than half, not the „vast majority“ or „almost all“. So with a list of 9 sets, it‘s still possible 4 of them get released this year ^^ That one is part of the other lists, which aren‘t affected

I really hope we‘ll learn soon which ones are still coming this year! The more out there stuff screams anniversary, but maybe we‘ll get lucky with the Delta-7B, the Ewok Village, and the Bounty Hunter Pursuit set at least. With our luck though, the buildable Yoda and the X-Wing Microfighter will be the only ones to make it this year

If I‘m wrong, that would mean there‘s a secret hidden list out there that somehow got swapped with a mostly 2027 list, despite the 2HY set lists for all other themes being out in the open already. Possible, but not very likely. This is already a massive year with 8 SB plus all the M&G sets

My guess: there is no wave beyond the June and July stuff because the SB sets do count towards the yearly total after all

Turns out the number of the AC (76340) was correct after all, but of course it’s a Marvel one ^^ The HP one has yet to be confirmed! Edit: Looks like there‘s no HP AC this year!

Well, 76340 is a Marvel advent calendar again! Weird, I thought they were permanently replaced by the Minecraft ones

Remember when I said some of the 2HY sets sounded like 2027 sets, like the posters and Icons of SW? Well, turns out, most of these sets actually are coming out in 2027, according to @Lego_Minecraft_Goat! Please please please let the Bounty Hunter Pursuit still be a 2026 set!! WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY UNHOLY MANIFESTATION POWERS

LTF is this week?? Wow, that's sad. Years ago, this was like Xmas and Easter on the same day, and nowadays I don't even know it's happening

I don‘t think you can… I do the caveman version: quoting a post multiple times and then editing each quote

And so was the TLM2 series, but I’d say both only count partially because neither had the typical question mark background design

Ohhhh, that makes sense! If she reads our discussions, your bday gifts will be in good hands

I meant to ask that before, but why that particular date? Did you pre-order the set at a specific shop that got hit with a delay?

His ship will be the largest set this year! Yeah, there's still plenty of stuff left from S1 that could be turned into sets, which is why I hope the theme will continue in parallel with the show. Years without a new season could see the release of previously uncovered material! By the looks of it, the S2 sets also won't be able to cover every arc.

Yes, for Hagrid in OotP Maybe she'll show up in an OotP-focussed castle section!

Wouldn't make much sense in a CoS set though as it's still Prof Kettleburn teaching Care of Magical Creatures in that year
