    Ah that sounds interesting, I don't suppose the text said anything new?

    Just seen the sales figures for Lego in 2019 and apparently Disney was one of the other well-performing themes outside of the top 6. Are all the Princess sets and Ideas/D2C counted under the same broader theme? I wasn't sure the CMF sold that well as there were still loads for months afterwards but I wouldn't be surprised if we got another one for the autumn (perhaps with surefire popular franchises like more Frozen characters?)

    Oops, I was sure they were blue Death Watch Mandalorians but I've gone back and checked and they're actually 501st Jet Troopers, I wasn't expecting that as I haven't seen them with jet packs before. My mistake! And yeah, those starships in the space battle must be Z-95s, I'd forgotten about those.
  4. Darth Shadowthrone
    I'm pretty sure they are going to be, in the Season 7 trailer there's shots of soldiers with jet packs fighting the Droids on a bridge and Mandalorian starfighters in a space battle

    Do you mean like this? If so I hope not, they're interesting designs but most of them are a bit too steampunk for me. Hopefully they're closer to the skeletons in the first Ninjago wave with pure fantasy designs.

    Wow thanks for sharing that, he looks really cool. His torso looks a little bit weird but maybe that's because it's meant to the old-timey Hogwarts uniform. Unfortunately if they're including him here it's likely that there's no Chamber of Secrets on the horizon any time soon. However, they released Ollivander in a promo in 2018 and he could still turn up in a set someday so never say never.

    I wonder if this makes Fantastic Beasts sets more or less likely next year. This is wild speculation but it seems to me that Lego were possibly weighing up making Fantastic Beasts sets as a tie-in for next year but decided against it so decided to have the much less costly option of a few minifigures to tie into the film instead. This would be a shame as I would really like a Zouwu in Lego but hopefully this means we're more likely to get a Phoenix or Swooping Evil attached to a minifigure.

    Damn this is very surprising. Is there any record of such an upheaval happening with any CMF series before?
  9. Darth Shadowthrone
    I wish but sadly it seems too long gone. That said I can't wait to try and make a custom Eowyn figure from the Battle of Pelennor Fields

    Does anyone else think that the new pirate hat-hair combo was designed with the upcoming Ideas pirate set in mind? Another user mentioned how it could be recoloured with a white ponytail and I definitely think there’ll be at least two figures with the hat in the pirate set.

    Does the Venom T-Rex have arms? Or is that what the web pieces are for?
  12. Darth Shadowthrone
    Just seen the closer up picture and I think you're right. Hopefully the helmet doesn't stick out too much with a beard underneath it, I'm definitely going to get multiples of that figure and try out different combinations
  13. Darth Shadowthrone
    The vikings beard and helmet definitely looks like one mould to me. I was a bit confused by his face but it looks like there's a gold plate on the front with eye holes! That's very cool. The Pinata boy, Red Ranger and Llama outfit are surprisingly standouts for me - that Llama especially looks really good! The Guitarist, Green Brick and Rabbit girl are really boring designs tho. Also disappointed by the Lady Pirate as I thought she was going to be more colourful, she actually looks quite plain.
  14. Darth Shadowthrone
    That’s exciting, we haven’t had a new sword piece since Lord of the Rings! Looks like that one and the Viking will be definite buys
  15. Darth Shadowthrone
    I know licensed series are a controversial topic for some CMF fans but honestly I’m really glad they are a thing - imagine if there were 3 series like this every year where it was all a bit meh and there was nothing that really make them stand out. At least licensed CMFs bolster excitement, even if it’s for a smaller part of the Lego fan base.
  16. Darth Shadowthrone
    My mistake, I think I was thinking about speculation a few pages back about one of the two August sets from a while back being at a lower price range. I have now edited the comment. Thanks for raising that point.
  17. Darth Shadowthrone
    Drat that's really disappointing! It looks like this series will only be interesting to me for the historical figures and new animal.
  18. Darth Shadowthrone
    Thank you very much for sharing this information with us. I know you've said about centaurs but are there any mythological/supernatural figures? Such as the recent Ghost Knight, Monkey King, Ice Queen or Faun?
  19. Darth Shadowthrone
    No the D2C is still an unconfirmed rumour that no trustworthy leaker has validated. The two August sets are £100 and another one whose price is still unknown.
  20. Darth Shadowthrone
    Could the space chimp work with the same head mould as Dryden's guards from the At-Hauler set? That way they could print the goggles on
  21. Darth Shadowthrone
    I read somewhere else on here that the sets shown at NYC will only be 1HY, from the first half of the year, but I don't know if that goes up to April or May. I doubt the sets will be very spoilery so they might be shown earlier
  22. Darth Shadowthrone
    Allosaurus is also one of my favourites, ever since the Diplodocus episode of Walking with Dinosaurs. If that or a Spinosaurus are ever in a set I would have to get it aha.
  23. Darth Shadowthrone
    Imagine if it just comes with the two Knights of Ren and then 2/3 random First Order figures
  24. Darth Shadowthrone
    Oh no those Mandalorian brick heads are way too cute! The Baby Yoda looks so accurate I might have to get this one. The way this set alone has been revealed seems to me to suggest that Lego knows exactly how popular the Mandalorian is. Imagine if we got a mini wave for the series in January with sets from both the first and second seasons!
  25. Darth Shadowthrone
    It would be interesting if Lego started making Hogwarts sets that weren’t intended to fit in with the main castle sets. Maybe that’s how eventually we could get a chamber of secrets?
