Marvel Superheroes 2024 - Rumors & Discussion
BrickBob Studpants replied to Clone OPatra's topic in LEGO Licensed
Yes, but they will have different costumes and some important characters may only appear in First Steps We also thought we‘d see Kang in a future set after Quantumania got the short end of the stick and look how that turned out! -
LEGO Star Wars 2024 Set Discussion - READ FIRST POST!!!
BrickBob Studpants replied to MKJoshA's topic in LEGO Star Wars
I don‘t. I‘m not gonna be tricked into rooting for a character just because they‘re presented as an underdog Merrily torturing innocent people with the death wails of an alien species that are so horrible they turn the victims practically insane is pretty cartoonishly evil in my book That is one of the most messed up things in the entire canon. The Empire is evil in all of SW, but they really turned the dial up to 11 in that show. If they do that, the least they can do is to then kill the villains in satisfying ways, and so far they haven‘t done that. At all. Like that ***** that gleefully had Salman hanged and kicked B2EMO, and yet got no comeuppance. These are the people Cassian should shoot in the face I hope S2 delivers. -

While a comic-based F4 set does sound nice, I'd be disappointed if we didn't get a movie tie-in set as well One shouldn't rule out the other! -

You guess?! Across S1, he shoots two unarmed people in the face, one of which is begging for his life! If that‘s not cold-blooded murder, I don‘t know what is …good point! The only thing Captain Crunch’s flying is a spoon into his mouth. -

Agreed, but they also need a pilot, no? Unless Andor is flying a U-Wing himself in S2. I‘d say K2 is pretty much guaranteed as well -

What do you mean by „if“? She doesn‘t show up afterwards anywhere (unless they retcon it) and she‘s basically the main antagonist of the show. Her and Captain Crunch are toast Or at least I hope so, especially after those torture scenes! And I don‘t mean the cereal discussions. The main antagonists not getting their comeuppance in the final season would not be very satisfying. Allegedly, everything we had heard about before is real. The only unknows are the midi-scale Kylo’s shuttle and the F4 set, the rest is safe, supposedly. Oh, and the Nighttrooper BP is made-up, but that was from a different fake source altogether. I think. Could‘ve been an alt-account of the other fraud to cause even more mayhem. -

Can‘t wait for her violent death in S2. I do. One is more than enough With this likely being the only set based on S2, there are other characters more deserving of a spot. Stormies can appear anywhere, Andor characters have little chance of showing up afterwards. -

…there are good therapists for that Welp. Since we won‘t know about the 2HY wave for a while, it‘s still possible they accidentally made a correct guess, but we‘ll see. -

After all the recent shenanigans, I‘m only gonna believe that once a seasoned leaker confirms it Sounds excellent, if true! Big „if“. Also glad to hear Mandr‘s figure list for the U-Wing is fake. That would have been the most boring selection they could‘ve made Granted, Cassian and K2 are pretty much guaranteed and Dedra is very likely too, but I surely hope for something better than two regular Stormies. -

Was Davebricks the source of the latest rumours? If so, he admitted he had made it all up -

That‘s exactly why I don‘t listen to new „leakers“. At least nothing of value was lost -

Whoops, I thought the ISB was a part of that, but I stand corrected then True. Maybe we‘ll get two battlepacks then? I miss the times when four in a year was normal. -

I was thinking of Krennic‘s torso (or rather a slight update of it since it‘s obviously not in circulation anymore), but only just realised the different rank insignia As I‘ve said before, I never pay much attention to those colourful rectangles (And of course I realise Krennic outranks her by a hurge margin by virtue of being the director, but that‘s what the majestic cape is for, no? ) So yeah, she‘d have a new torso print. Still not super exciting to me personally. I‘d rather have those than yet another CT battlepack, but my vote goes to a Nighttrooper one! -

That CTT rumour is definitely fake While the rumoured sets do sound more interesting than what‘ve heard so far, I‘m still waiting for something really exciting The sets are still all either remakes or variants, and no new character has been confirmed yet. The U-Wing might include Dedra, but she could easily be realised with existing pieces, so nothing too exciting apart from a new faceprint perhaps. A new hair-hat piece is pretty unlikely I think. Wake me up when we get 2HY rumours -

Um, why? It‘s just the plaque The model itself should be the main selling point, no? It could say „Jango Fett‘s bitchin‘ ride“ on there and it would still be the same model All I need from the set is a seismic bomb dropping feature. Best weapon in the SW franchise bar none, except for lightsabers of course! @Childish_Landino confirms the May set list and says he‘s also heard rumours about Kylo Ren‘s shuttle getting the midi-scale treatment That could look really cool! -

BrickBob Studpants replied to Clone OPatra's topic in LEGO Licensed
No, it wouldn‘t CMFs can all stand on their own. No matter whether you get the entire series, a handful of packets, or just one single minifig, you always have a complete product that works by itself. What are you gonna do with dinosaur limbs? This would outright force customers to buy more figures, which is pretty scummy. -

BrickBob Studpants replied to Classic_Spaceman's topic in LEGO Licensed
Can‘t say I expected them to be revealed already! I like both of them though! The biolizard build is pretty impressive and the new minifig variants look good as well. Now we need to see the third set! -

BrickBob Studpants replied to MKJoshA's topic in LEGO Star Wars
Because it‘s simply off-topic in a SW thread? There‘s a separate thread for knock-off discussion somewhere else on EB. Kinda crazy we haven‘t seen Jango‘s version in a larger scale since 2002! The previous ones were all various mini-sized models (magazine polybag, advent calendar, and the 2003 mini-scale set). Not what I expected for the May D2C set, but by now we should know to expect the unexpected -
Jurassic Properties 2024 - Rumors & Discussion
BrickBob Studpants replied to Clone OPatra's topic in LEGO Licensed
I argue a JW CMF series would make little sense from a budget perspective as well. None of the characters really need specialised pieces, dual-moulding, or super-elaborate printing. This would leave the series’ budget for small dinosaurs, which would also be unnecessary since we get new dino pieces every year anyway, including babys I can‘t imagine a niche series like that selling too well when both the characters and the dinos are also available in sets. And kids prefer grown full-size dinos over babys anyway, I suppose -
I didn‘t hate it, but some things did bother me. Batsy is too single-minded in this. He gets better, but man is he dim-witted at times. Batman branding criminals and using a pseudo-gun was very OOC. Lex Luthor. Someone should’ve told Jesse he wasn’t playing The Joker doing a Mickey Mouse impression. Doomsday being a zombified, mutated Zod was silly. The clunky cameos. They were so phoned in! Killing Supes in his second appearance was a huuuuuge mistake, especially before even establishing the JL. The action and Zimmer‘s score were great though, and I did like most of the other characters

…where are the mods? And I don‘t mean the ones from TBoBF EB is a LEGO forum, so advocating to buy knock-offs should be off-topic by definition, no? It has nothing to do with SW either. SW discussions that have little to do with LEGO get shot down quickly, so the reverse should be true as well -

Funny how the recent UCS Slave One speculation turned out to be proven true! Just with a different version Sounds cool! And it’s nice to finally have a companion for 2010‘s UCS Jedi Starfighter Not sure about the plausibility of the other rumours. Wasn‘t an AT-AT Driver helmet already planned and cancelled one or two years ago? Or was that a false rumour altogether?
