I unironically want this, especially if a minifig-scale version is included DO IT YOU COWARDS

If the set came with a hat for Grant, we'd likely see it on the box somewhere, which is not the case. Thus, the head might actually be dual-sided this time! The way the hat is moulded, the hatband has to have the same colour as the hair. So unless you want a brown hatband on a tan hat, it's not gonna happen anytime soon

I would dispute even that, just because of one word: has. There is no necessity about that. I remember we had that exact same discussion back when Tallie Lintra or the U-Wing pilot appeared in MFs and people were adamant they had to reappear in other sets. And yeah, neither of them did. That said, I also expect Plo to show up in another set within a year or two, but not because he has to

Depends on whether there’s some truth to the rumours that TLG and Nick had a falling out. If so, there’s little hope since the ATLA license still firmly lies with Nick, even with the Netflix deal. Personally, while I doubt there’s something to that rumour, it’s still weird they haven’t collaborated in ten years. Maybe the upper echelons at Nick are personal friends with higher-ups at TLG’s competitors Fingers crossed somebody realises the potential! All the Ideas projects that reached 10k clearly show there’s a demand.

Like the opposite of what happened with DA I like that idea! Certainly better than another HE or a Quidditch Pitch. Not exactly enormous potential for new minifigs since we already got a nice selection in the playset and the 2023 AC, but that’s an issue in general now, no matter what ideas they consider

That’s pretty much it, more Clone variants On a positive note, since they finally release the two most requested missing units, Clone saturation levels will return to normal next year, if we’re lucky. Of course, the Clone Bros won’t stop complaining until they’ve tackled every single obscure unit imaginable, but kids and casual fans should be satisfied to a degree where they can finally move on then Or so I hope. I can get behind wanting these two units and their commanders (and maybe an updated Neyo), but everything beyond that is a bridge too far. I’ve had it with these MF Clones in my MF sets!

I‘m far from a PPR absolutist, but that difference is hilarious The UT-AT has larger pieces, quite a few minifigs presumably, and hopefully a new helmet piece, but this is still pretty ridiculous. 37 fewer pieces for $60 more? Is Mundi secretly made of 18 karat gold? Maybe his CTs killed him for that reason rather than simply following Order 66

Both are excellent minifigs I think! And it‘s nice to see young Ellie finally have a unique faceprint Alan‘s faceprint is new as well, right? (Completely new I mean, not just for him, I know he‘s had three different prints before, or four, if you count the version from JWD)

Let‘s be honest, even a $1000 set would still be microscale Sure, you could make it somewhat minifig-compatible, but I‘m not sure how good that would look overall. A $1000 set needs to be an absolutely impeccable model!

Allegedly, we already have set numbers for the 2026 Fortnite sets, namely 77079-77082 (source: fateful_04) Pretty early to already have 2026 set numbers, but fateful is a reliable source!

Well yeah, but if 76455 existed, there would have to be a good reason why it‘s not on brickmerge. Ockham‘s razor says it‘s a skipped number I don‘t think they‘ve ever replaced a not-so-successful D2C set with another version as soon as it reached its EOL The only D2C set that ever got almost seamlessly replaced was the Death Star, and both versions were popular sets (and the replacement was mostly a minifig update). Thus, I highly doubt they‘ll release another HE anytime soon. Even if they listened to fan feedback and conclude that a smaller-scale motorised version would do better, it‘d still be a risky move so quickly after the previous one got retired. Since we‘ve had quite a few minifig-scale D2C sets in a row, I think another collection of buildable objects or a large-scale vehicle is more likely ^^

Not that LotR wouldn‘t deserve a $1000 set, but I‘d rather they release a $500 microscale Minas Tirith and call it a day This is just outside the range of what most people can afford. We‘ll see how well the new Death Star does, but even for SW that price point‘s a huge gamble, the way I see it.

Of course there‘s been a shift in terms of how many MFs they release, but it‘s hard to prove anything in regards to the strategy behind what kind of vehicles they pick. Yes, they go for more unique ships now rather than mass-produced vehicles and so it makes sense to have more named characters in those sets. But that‘s likely a consequence of the reduced output because they always had a mixture of both when MFs were more prolific. Sure, unique ships like the Falcon, Ghost, Kylo‘s Shuttle etc were rare compared to more generic fighters like X-Wing‘s and TIE Fighters, but they are in the minority in-universe too, so that makes perfect sense This isn‘t about shutting down discussions, but there‘s a difference between rumours and making up a set based on a perceived pattern. We‘ve been talking about MF patterns for quite a while now and got a bit carried away I think. My basic point still stands: The existence of a new minifig in a MF is not an indication of there being an as-of-yet unknown set this year.

After her fossilised remains are found in a couple million years?

Why is there a picture of Rexy on the back of the box though? Couldn‘t find a picture of a fossil?

Even more pictures are out now! Love all the details, the minifigs, and the new trans-orange geode piece they use to represent amber!

I have no preference actually. I pretty much got all out of this theme that I ever wanted, so I‘m just along for the ride The Quidditch Pitch wouldn‘t be my choice, but I‘d take it.

I‘d advise you to remove the link since posting leaks is not allowed on EB

The T-Rex skeleton set leaked! Looks like a really impressive model, and it comes with at least two minifigs. The picture quality is awful, but I like what I‘m seeing

That one‘s not listed on brickmerge though, and the rumoured D2C set is 76457. It‘s likely just a skipped number. As for the D2C set, I‘m expecting a buildable object (or collection) of sorts. That said, we need a price point and piece count before we can properly start speculating

Thank you! JJP is a reliable source, so this will likely pan out! Perhaps Marvel will have a D2C set this year too, after all!

Not sure what’s more bonkers, the coffee table he wants to build out of Batcave shadow boxes, the Luigi’s Pizzeria set idea, his hatred of flying superheroes, or his newfound obsession with bringing Hammond back Ole help us all if his next incarnation targets Star Wars.

Oh? Can you tell us where you found it? I checked Reddit and Discord and couldn’t find anything

That’s exactly what I’m expecting. Pretty much the same thing they did for that Bionicle promo, i.e., keeping the original spirit, but with a brick-built solution

I wonder which of the karts they’ll pick for the D2C model. Kinda has to be either the standard kart or the B Dasher
