LEGO Star Wars 2024 Set Discussion - READ FIRST POST!!!
THELEGOBATMAN replied to MKJoshA's topic in LEGO Star Wars
From what I understand it's definitely not a GwP, right? It's more like the Christmas diorama I think, which means it will be exclusive to S@H. Honestly, that set is fantastic tho. The vehicles are well-built. The concept itself is highly nostalgic, especially as I've owned both of the original sets (still bummed I didn't get the 20th anniversary dropship). The minifigures are great for army building. There's even an exclusive character, too! -
Marvel Superheroes 2024 - Rumors & Discussion

Because both Spider-Verses are one of the best Marvel movies ever made, and many people here would literally kill for even a single Spider-Verse set? Both of them are one of my favourite movies ever (in general, not just Marvel) and I would give my soul for even a Miles Morales minifigure in his ITSV / ATSV suit. -

If the leak is true, then the minifigure line-up is awful. Not to mention that the logo itself is 100€. Let that sink in — a logo. Made with LEGO bricks. For 100€. -
The ridiculous thing is, it includes the same amount of pieces as the last Tumbler (7 more, but that takes into account another minifigure) — but costs 20€ more? Beyond ridiculous. We really shouldn't support moves like that. According to the leaks, the set includes 3 minifigures — Batman, Joker and Two-Face.

It isn't. It's a gimmick mech. For Superman. Just like all the others copy-paste mechs we've gotten for countless Marvel superheroes over the past few years, and even Batman this year. Which, to be fair, is a ridiculous decision. A Lex Luthor mech would not only work as a small gimmick mech, but also as a standalone set, because it actually makes sense for him to have one.

LEGO is allergic to actually using The Infinity Saga subtheme to give us fresh sets with minifigures we've never gotten before. Thor. The First Avenger. The Dark World (okay, no one actually wants that). The Winter Soldier. Accurate sets for Doctor Strange, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, Homecoming. Apart from a single Iron Man set, a semi-accurate Iron Man 2 and accurate Endgame sets, what did we really get? More sets from Avengers, Guardians of the Galaxy, Age of Ultron, Civil War and so on — all of which got a bunch of sets when they released. I'm not saying that those movies shouldn't also be getting sets, but it feels like they're missing the opportunity to give us something we've actually never got before. Not to mention that The Infinity Saga being the biggest and most important wave of the year shows just how creatively bankrupt this theme is. They should contain it to a small Winter wave, and make an actual, interesting comicbook wave in the Summer with fresh characters, vehicles and locations. -

Weirdly enough I feel like this happens a lot with some particularly anticipated sets from a wave. For example, they made a huge reveal of all the Jurassic World: Dominion sets, except for the biggest one. You'd think they've saved it for later, to keep the hype going — nope. It randomly appeared on their website with all the other sets on release day. -

If they want to make the set fully accurate to the movie, then we have two options — the NYC scene, or the Mumbattan scene. Since the set is 40€, I believe there have to be at least 3 minifigures in it. If it's the first one, I think it would include a small bodega with an ATM machine (), a PDNY car and maybe some street furniture (e.g. traffic lights). The minifigures would be Miles Morales, the Spot and Jefferson Davis. (Man, that sounds so good.) They could also try making the ruined particle collider with some scaffolding, alas it'd be much less exciting and play-oriented. If it's the latter one, the build potential for a 40€ set isn't as big. The build could be a bus, some random car with street furniture, a small section of a bridge, or even the lab with the particle collider. The minifigure potential, on the other hand, is much greater. Worst case scenario (which is already great) — Miles, Gwen and the Spot. Best case scenario — add Hobie and Pavitr. Obviously, they could also make some weird mash-up — for example the Nueva York train with Miles, Miguel and the Spot or whatever. I don't think that'd happen if it really is an AtSV set tho. I just hope it's not another Miles Morales car or some other crap. If it's not an actual AtSV set, at least make it similar enough to pose as one (that is to say, just use NYC as the base for the build — no wacky vehicles). Although, if done well, a vehicle for the Spot could be executed rather uniquely (not that I want it, that's the worst still-acceptable set kind of scenario). -

If it's an actual ATSV set, the day I see it will be the most beautiful day of my life. Not to mention that would probably mean we'd be getting a whole wave for BTSV. -

We don't know if it's the actual set name though.
