  1. I don‘t think you can… I do the caveman version: quoting a post multiple times and then editing each quote
  2. And so was the TLM2 series, but I’d say both only count partially because neither had the typical question mark background design
  3. Ohhhh, that makes sense! If she reads our discussions, your bday gifts will be in good hands
  4. 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?
  5. 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.
  6. Yes, for Hagrid in OotP Maybe she'll show up in an OotP-focussed castle section!
  7. Wouldn't make much sense in a CoS set though as it's still Prof Kettleburn teaching Care of Magical Creatures in that year
  8. Unless they get really creative, the Bloody Baron is the only new character they can include here. At this point we‘re even running out of background teachers and random students Why not Myrtle and the Bloody Baron? He‘s Slytherin‘s house ghost, so what better set to include him? ^^
  9. Interesting point! As longterm LEGO fans, we are used to idiosyncrasies that newcomers might bother (like regular minifigs not having noses or fingers) Personally, while I want LEGO sets to accurately represent other things I‘m a fan of, they should always adhere to what makes LEGO LEGO. Otherwise, what‘s the point? Might as well buy action figures then ^^
  10. Only if he has a really unsettling smile straight out of the Smile duology
  11. Is it too late to insert Thanos into that show? They‘ve been withholding a Thanoscopter set from us for way too long!
  12. It‘ll be a while before we get minifig lists, if we even get them in the first place, at least for the M&G sets! Movie waves often had pics leaked without minifig lists ever showing up. There is a higher level of secrecy, after all
  13. Resistance sadly never got the chance to improve and mature like the later seasons of TCW and Rebels did. Of course they were restricted by the ST getting released in parallel and couldn‘t get ahead of it, but they still could‘ve done more. S2 was an improvement, but still didn‘t come close to any of the other shows, the villains dying off-screen just being an example Also, I hate how this show prevents Hamato Xiono from dying in Ahsoka S2. God, I hated him in that show and I‘m convinced now he‘s a FO spy. I mean, him not being on Hosnian Prime during TFA was suspicious before, but now? I know he‘s supposed to be unlikeable, but it stings we already know he‘s alive and well more than 20 years later
  14. Yeah, minifigs of near-humans should not have noses. Sure, you could make the same argument for ears, but so far they‘ve been consistent in only giving them to elves or elven-like characters And I‘d say pointy ears are way more distinctive than a pointy nose.
  15. That doesn‘t count, and you know it
  16. Here‘s my ranking of all SW live-action shows and seasons: Mando S2 Ahsoka S1 Skeleton Crew Mando S1 Andor S2 Mando S3 TBoBF Andor S1 Kenobi The Acolyte I liked all of them, mind, but Andor S1 ranks lower for me than most people for a lot of stuff that went nowhere (like Cassian‘s sister), pacing issues, repetitious scenes, and too much tell-don‘t-show. Also, no K2. The speeches were incredible and every scene with Luthen was great, but I‘m not ranking it above other shows just for that That said, I liked S2 wayyyy better though! And yes, there was a lot of pay-off for stuff that annoyed me back in S1 (like that damn uncle Harlo), but still. The Acolyte had its moments, but Osha and Mei are both pretty lame main characters and flip-flopped their motivations at the drop of a hat. And I HATED the stupid witches. That show just should‘ve been about Sol and Qimir, who were actually compelling characters. Yord and Jecki were cool too! As for the animated shows: TBB TCW Rebels Tales of [x] Resistance TCW doesn‘t get the top spot thanks to some throw-away arcs TBB was a lot more consistent throughout, in my opinion. And they made some bold choices! Resistance wasn‘t bad, but lacked the edge the other shows had. Like all the main villains dying off-screen, booooooooo!
  17. The difference is that children murdering each other for entertainment is the focal point of the story, whereas a hero-turned-villain slaughtering a group of kids is just one scene
  18. Kinda funny we‘ll get the Awesome Friends version of Ultron before Infinity Ultron I wonder if all three pre-school shows will co-exist? If so, the 4+ offerings may expand even further
  19. I don‘t disagree with the line-up, but not having a single new character (beside the Ravenclaw student perhaps) in such an expensive set would be kinda disappointing. Replace Justin with the Bloody Baron and it‘s a deal!
  20. That makes sense! I was already wondering why there‘d be two SAHAF waves all of a sudden
  21. And we just coincidentally got a new shade of pink this year! And the new shade of violet would work for a remake of his DA outfit, if that ever materialises
  22. I forgot, is the CoS theming of the East Wing set actually rumoured or is it mere speculation? If it‘s the former, what do you expect to see in the set? ^^ The corridor with an updated Mrs Norris as some have suggested is a great idea! Pretty gruesome imagery if you can actually place her on the wall though When I first saw the movie, I thought she was dead and it was her blood on the wall. A new Lockhart variant is a must! Though the Cornish Pixie set kinda confirms he‘s stuck with that hairpiece now. The polyjuice scene should be featured. They kinda have to include the bathroom, after all! In my view, the Basilisk can be reused as is. No notes. A new piece for a flying Fawkes would be neat!
  23. I wouldn‘t mind a new Orthanc at all, especially if it actually comes with Treebeard this time! Always struck me as funny that we got a random unnamed Ent back then, but not the Ent That said, it‘s pretty low on my LOTR wishlist. I want a Mûmakil first!
  24. The good thing about that is that you have to wait less for the follow-up I also only watched it shortly after the LEGO rumours surfaced last year, and BOY did the show surprise me! The anime adaption curse is fully broken (though I‘d say Alita already broke it before that)! Can‘t wait for S2 The only thing that worries me is the show‘s longevity, considering Netflix‘s tendencies to cancel shows that don‘t match their lofty expectations. I hope they get to Marineford at least! As for LEGO, I‘m really excited for the upcoming sets! OP was my favourite theme last year and I fully expect it to win the crown this year again If the sets do well and the show gets a new season every 1.5 to 2 years, I can see the theme lasting as long as the show does. There‘s enough material to provide the basis for sets in years without a new season, after all ^^
