Alright!! Here's hoping this means we're gonna start getting more looks at sets soon. It is, supposedly, less than a month until they're released.

I know it's all guess work at the minute, but now that we've got a rough list, can someone with a bit more experience provide an estimate of how much these sets are gonna cost? I'm just trying to figure out a rough budget.

Well 70905 and 6 seem to be backwards, but the Mr Freeze and Batcave numbers match.

Ugh. That Batmobile is PERFECTION.

I'm assuming they'll release then. The only other date I've seen is from Lego's Facebook page who have repeatedly said 2017 - Worldwide. Which sounds like a stock answer for the global market.

Well according to S@H they Disney minifigures are a retired product. So I guess I better find them where I can and fill holes in the collection.

Fair enough. Hopefully that'll happen and we'll get some more concrete info on release dates.

Okay. So where has this November 1st idea come from? Not trying to be a dick, just wanna manage expectations appropriately.

Who has said that? No one seems to be 100% sure of when the sets are going to be released.

Saw this out in real world (shop near me is selling it already and had a built one on display) and it's a hard pass for me. Looks like a glorified duplo set. I'll only pick it up if I see it on sale somewhere, which seems to be quite common with Ideas sets.

Yeah, I want both. But I'm thinking EWOK VILLAGE is the one I've gotta go for. Sandcrawler is cool, but the interior feels kinda meh.

Just saw the EWOK VILLAGE set is listed as Retiring Soon. For those who have it, is it worth buying?

Okay. The scanning thing sounds like it might be a LITTLE out of my league, but I'll look into it.

The cheapest I've found it is £40. Meanwhile I can get the Obi-Wan set for £17 and the yellow parts I need for about £10. Even after i buy Anakin, its still cheaper, plus it's a good entry level attempt at a moc as I haven't done anything like this before. Any advice for cutting down stickers? Which the yellow set doesn't have.

I'm planning to buy Obi-Wan's Starfighter, then buy yellow parts to swap for the red ones. The only problem I'm finding is the stickers. The ones that go on the outside of the flaps at the end of the wings don't match the yellow. So I was thinking of cutting off the red parts and using them that way. Has anyone modified stickers like this? If so, any advice?

We're still not entirely sure on the release dates of the first LBM wave. I've seen Lego give three different answers.

I hope the Guavian set doesn't have Han, Chewie, Finn and Rey. Id much rather the set be an actual Gang, maybe with a playset based on the interior of the ship Han and Cheque were flying. Rathtar would be great too, maybe something similar to the portal on the Doctor Strange set.

The reason is simple. They have a marketing plan, with certain things designed to be revealed at certain times to beat promote the series. Stuff coming out early like this could lead some to look at the polybag and think "oh, that looks garbage" and suddenly their opinion is set. It's about controlling the flow of information so that it works best for them. Of course the other answer is that stuff like this is largely automated, so if it hasn't been released, systems automatically flag it. So they actually might not care at all

So... that suggests there's some truth to them, right?

IF it's representative of the CMF, then I'm happy as a fan of just how weird and dumb comics can be (lets face it, Batman has become so serious we NEED LBM more than ever) But it looks pretty fake.

ALRIGHT!! Here's hoping this means we're gonna start seeing more stuff like this. EDIT: any chance someone could post a translation of the page for those of us not tech savy enough to do it ourselves/fluent in German?

Ugh.... feeling the need to build some new lego but I know if I buy anything now I won't be able to buy these LBM sets if they come out November.

Well the UK price is supposedly £2.99 which is a 50p rise. So while the euro jump does seem like a lot, looking at the UK prices we know for sets seems a lot higher than EU. It might just be the same percentage comparatively

Has a release date been mentioned? I saw on reddit someone claimed it was out November 1st.

We don't know is the short answer. The January release of Arkham kinda foils any attempt at figuring out their release schedule. Especially when the Lego facebook page replies to people asking about release dates by saying 'Worldwide in 2017".
