What the selection lacks in quantity, it more than makes up for in quality Sauron alone is worth the price of admission for me.

I assume there‘s a D2C set coming, but we haven‘t heard anything yet. No set number, no release date, nothing. The only reason to think there even is one in the first place is that they‘ve been a yearly occurrence, but there‘s no guarantee

I‘m looking forward to the Bag End set, but the minifig selection is gonna pale in comparison to the last two sets no matter what they do, and not just because the set is half the price A bunch of hobbits (and Gandalf, likely) isn‘t much to write home about in my opinion. I‘m glad to finally have old Bilbo (as opposed to ancient Bilbo from Rivendell), but I‘m not really that excited about any of the minor hobbit characters.

Because it‘s a D2C set, and those tend to leak a lot closer to release than regular retail sets Ironically, it‘s one of the first if not the first 2025 D2C set we heard about last year.

Those two absolutely need to be included!! Biggest missed opportunity in the original theme, and now they finally have the chance to rectify that

It does! Still one of my favourite Sonic sets, but it has a pretty big weakspot, namely Eggman/Robotnik. The brickbuilt version looks supremely silly (especially the head), and it‘s even worse when put next to the figure from the actual theme

Surreal to have this and PotC in the same year! Can‘t wait to see more!!

More like minus two sets! For every new DCU movie, they cancel two planned sets Seriously though, I expect nothing to tie in with that, not even a mech. Heck, I‘d be surprised if the theme is still around by the time The Batman II gets released

That‘d be amazing. The pirates were such a cool faction, both in Mando S3 and SC! Too bad all we got so far was the snubfighter. Gorian Shard, Brutus, Gunther and others would make for great minifigs! But yeah, not having high hopes. Ahsoka was the only show so far besides Mando to get sets beyond the initial wave, and SC sadly wasn‘t popular enough to warrant more sets in TLG‘s eyes. It‘s a real shame, because the show was received so well!

Come on, we all know that was part of his paper-thin disguise to try and fool us into thinking he wasn‘t Turtle „I‘ll speak in the same weird riddles, use the same idioms, post the same nonsense, but if I say I like Soup, they‘ll never catch on!!“, must‘ve been his thinking

I have to say, this is one of the better-made fake „leaks“ we‘ve seen so far! If it was posted by a reliable leaker (rather than someone with „misinform“ in their username, ha ha very clever ), I likely would‘ve fallen for it. We‘ve had plenty of mix-ups before, but this would be a pretty big one. Hopefully we get more clarification soon!

I actually like the idea of a Schumacher Arkham! …as long as all the villains are included I‘d rather they release regular playsets instead of a $400 D2C set, but it is what it is.

Brutus is a Shistavanen tho, not a Defel Either way, we need a minifig of his! And SM-33. And Kh‘ymm.

Yes, it‘d be a different version, but if I had to choose between a less detailed version of a character we had as a CMF before, and an new character altogether, I know what I‘d pick Sure, I’m not saying every character needs that, but they probably wouldn‘t even reuse the CMF hood piece and weapons, which would make it a pretty big downgrade in my eyes And those elements would also work for a comic version of him, no?

I‘m talking purely about the minifigs as such. You just know a comic-based version would have unprinted legs and likely the regular old hood piece

More like an inferior version of Moon Knight Yeah, a comic-based version would be new, but it‘d pale so badly in comparison to the CMF figure. Indeed, about time they take full advantage of that! I do wish they‘d be a bit more consistent with them, rather than having an odd mixture of Spider-verse and comic-based locations that are supposedly compatible. Granted, they previously had a non-MCU expansion set to an MCU Hall of Armours, so that ideas‘s not unprecedented, but it’s still a bit odd. August. Yesterday, I would’ve agreed, but the Iron Man 2 set lost all of its appeal to me with the drones being brick-built rather than minifigs. Gonna be some clunky oversized monstrosities

The more I think about the „understandably being kept secret“ part, the less sense it makes. There‘s nothing new coming out beside Andor, and even if there was a second season of RTG, why would a set based on it be a secret? Last year‘s RTG sets were leaked alongside the rest, well before we even knew RTG was a thing! It’s probably just a purposefully vague hint to spark some discussions I compared it to the 1984 hint before, but it‘s more like the young Leia hints that sent us on a wild goose chase and bent ourselves into pretzels, trying to make sense of them.

A $100 Batmobile with only one minifig?! Just end the theme already, what are we even doing here

Lame. So there‘s basically nothing new in that set And I‘m not expecting anything exciting in the Oscorp set either. The minifigs are probably something like Gobbie, Norman (kitbashed), Harry (kitbashed), Venom, Peter, Spidey, May, and maybe MJ

I was a bit sceptical about that rumour since it A) came from an anonymous source on the Discord server (I think?) and B) we also only got one Spider-verse set. It’s disappointing nonetheless The Raimi set we DO get better be amazing then!

He‘s not on the current list of figures, hence the uncertainty 2025 looks pretty weak in that regard too. 2024 brought back Jabba and his entourage, plus Skiff Guard Lando, and Super Battle Droids, which is a lot more impressive!

The tidbits about the unknown set being contradictory probably reflects differing opinions I‘m not falling for this again! The last two times we had pages worth of speculation thanks to vague hints, it turned out to be red herrings / misunderstandings Remember the 1984 hint and Enoch‘s helmet piece?

Huh, never noticed that! Well that definitely makes the set more interesting!

Rhodey, yes. Iron Patriot, no He only wears that armour in IM3. Or did I miss something and he kept the moniker despite his armour reverting back to the War Machine colour scheme?

Lisan al Gaib!! Happy to see Double Death Troopers in the BP, but sadly no Enoch. And where‘s Bly in the other BP?! So, based on what we know, this is the list of confirmed new characters / trooper types for 2025: 327th CT, Galactic Marine, Double Death Trooper. Bly, Bacara, a CIS higher-up, and Dedra may follow. Less than 10 new characters / trooper types in a year is bleak 2024 had more than 30, 2023 and 2022 both around 20, and 2021 around 15. New characters isn‘t the only metric to judge a year by, but this has to be a new negative record
