I just had a realisation!! He was Mayor Corn-Cob(b) all along! It‘s all coming together!

From what I‘ve read, that‘s not an abbreviation, it‘s his actual new name

They renamed The Penguin to „Oz Cobb“ in the show?! Oswald Cobblepot isn‘t exactly a real name, but come on. It‘s the same universe that has a guy running around dressed as a bat, so no reason to be ashamed, guys Also, his name now sounds like Oscorp. I don‘t mind Reeves‘ more grounded take on Batsy (on the contrary, I loved the movie!), but this goes a bit far.

I saw @Lego_Minecraft_Goat reporting about them and ignored the list at first, thinking they were Duplo sets. Then I saw the piece counts Nice to see more sets, even though there likely won‘t be any new characters from the sounds of it. The dinosaur theme does sound intriguing though Also, another (sub)theme that traditionally had a March wave and now gets a January wave instead. Between Marvel, DC, Star Wars, Harry Potter, Sonic, Mario, Animal Crossing, and Minecraft, January is now gonna be PACKED! And then all the unlicensed themes on top of that!

Thanks to @Lego_Minecraft_Goat, we have a set list: 77001 Sonic‘s Campfire Showdown (177 pcs, $20) 77002 Cyclone vs Metal Sonic (290 pcs, $35) 77003 Super Shadow vs Biolizard (419 pcs, $40) Metal Sonic and Super Shadow are awesome editions! Likely the only new additions minifig-wise, but we‘re used to that by now

New info, courtesy of @Lego_Minecraft_Goat: First off, two of the January wave sets have updated names. 21267 is The Illlager Desert Patrol (rather than Village Visit, though it can certanly still be called that, euphemistically ) and 21269 is not just any mine adventure, it‘s The Armadillo Mine Expedition! And secondly, there is a March wave after all, with at least two sets: 21272 (491 pcs, $35) 21273 (555 pcs, $80) He thinks those two and 21271 might be based on the movie, but no confirmation yet I think it‘s pretty likely since March would fit perfectly and this is the first time we‘re getting both a January and a March wave. Before it was always one or the other

Reminds me of the goober that gave police a fake name (Desilijic Tiure) in hopes of them not catching on. They did.

Hooray! The frog tradition lives on! And by it‘s good to see that Jabba has his tattoo after all

To me, the scoreboard looks like this: Upgrades: Leia (better hairpiece and dual-moulded legs) R2 Kithaba Entirely new: Wooof Wizam The same/very similar: Gamorrean 3PO Max Rebo Jabba Downgrades: Salacious B. Crumb (I usually like the coloured eyes, but they look too creepy here) Bib Fortuna. The new prints are awesome, but the headpiece doesn‘t work. All in all, I don‘t think we can complain too much Especially since UCS sets rarely have more than two figures.

...I was like "what seal?!" since I didn't even notice it on the picture before you guys pointed it out Looks tan-ish to me, but that may just be the lighting.

Good point! The only picture where we can sort of see his right arm is pretty blurry when you zoom in, so it’s hard to make out. I thought someone had seen his right arm on a better picture, but good to hear he might still have the tattoo! As I said, would be silly considering they clearly know about it!

We have it all, upgrades, downgrades, and minifigs that stayed the same (just grades? ). My personal highlights are definitely Wooof, Vizam, Kithaba, R2 with his hot chocolate, and Leia. Love the new hairpiece!

Here lie our hopes of the trans-green frog’s glorious return. 🪦 5:18pm - 5:34pm, Sept 16th, 2024. Oh really? That’s a shame! And kinda silly, considering the Desilijic clan’s emblem is still on the box

Even more and better pictures have leaked! The interior looks very spacious! No frog tho Yeah, they seem very similar if not identical. Jabba was said to feature new pieces the entire time, and yet he appears unchanged I don’t mind though. The previous one can’t be improved much anyway!

…I never thought “my minifig isn’t sexy anymore” would be an actual discussion point, but here we are Sigh. The set itself looks great! Since there’s a kitchen, is there still hope for the GOAT to return? By that I mean the trans-green frog (I know it was included in 2003’s Jabba’s Palace and in neither of the previous two Sailbarges, but still, I want it back!)

You’re missing an ‘o’, it’s Wooof Edit: Ninja’d!

Not sure how not buying the Gunship on day 1 would‘ve fixed anything. I doubt the designers would‘ve been like „Wait, it didn‘t sell out on day one?! Dang, we obviously should‘ve included a pilot rather than a commander!” By that point it’s too late anyway, so what good does not buying sets on day one do? There’s a subreddit specifically dedicated to LSW leaks So the Sailbarge comes with 5 new moulded pieces, right? Leia’s hair, Jabba’s head and body, Salacious B. Crumb, and Wooof’s “hat”. Or 6, if you count Max Rebo’s resurrected headpiece. It’s been so long the old mould had surely been destroyed and had to be recreated.

Wooof and Vizam leaked as well! Vizam reuses the „hat“ introduced for Pao and Wooof‘s is an entirely new piece! Kinda crazy it took us this long to get a green Nikto

The MoM logo on the Sanctum Sanctorum was on the back of the box, for instance And the prelim picture is clearly cropped, as the 18+ border is missing. I‘m not saying it‘s 100% 97-branded, but it can‘t be ruled out before we see better pictures.

I know. But the image is of such poor quality and cropped so badly, it’s still possible for there to be a ‘97 logo somewhere on the box, no?

That is a wild statement in a world where a headless AT-ST exists I’m not surprised they didn’t bring back the old lekku piece for Bib. The piece used for the Mando S2 version (it’s not a TBOBF set!) isn’t accurate, but at least he’s getting new prints!

Well, that image is so deep-fried it’s hard to discern anything But you’re right, we’ll see once we have proper images.

I still think that was a cancelled 2014-15 set they used as a placeholder in the survey. After all, it has next to nothing in common with the upcoming set If so, it’s possible for the set to have been planned as a ‘97 tie-in all along. The Jean minifig looks exactly like she does in ‘97 though! Iceman can be chalked up to creative liberty Wouldn’t be the first time. I’d compare it to the 2021 Hogwarts Great Hall, which features Luna who doesn’t appear until OotP (the fifth instalment) and yet it’s still clearly a set based on CoS (the second instalment).

Small update from @Brick Clicker: The "plush toy" is actually a plush toy collector Sounds cool, but I hope they introduce a new type of plush toy rather than just reusing the existing teddy bear and bunny plush pieces!

I‘m afraid you‘re right… The medusa gave me hope they might deviate a bit from the usual depictions but I won’t be that lucky I guess
