THELEGOBATMAN

The Advent Calendar is easily my favourite Harry Potger set this year. Looks fantastic. The amount of minifigures and new prints is awesome, and there's not a single micro-build in sight! Might be my favourite Harry Potter AC ever.

How would you rank the Titan Mechs we got thus far? For me it's: 1. Cole 2. Lloyd 3. Jay 4. Zane

If it's true, fantastic to hear that T. Rex is actually an Allosaurus. Such a small wave giving us two highly-desirable dinosaurs would be incredible.

I definitely hope so. It would be a bummer if they tied up such an interesting storyline in the remaining episodes and we never got any of the minifigures.

I like what I'm seeing here. The Battle Arena is a great set. The value is insane, with over 650 pieces and six minifigures (two of them exclusive) for 50€. The build looks good and fun to play with. The minifigures are fantastic. Evil Jay (funny that they're actually calling him that) and Cinder look extremely raw. The Combo Vehicle is well made, but sets like this aren't my cup of tea. The minifigures are good, but I fell like a named villain is missing here. The Dragon Mech looks insanely good, but I feel like this set is made for a very specific range of people. I like the concept for Cole, but I fell like the black mask is too contrasting with the white armour.

I would never stop him from doing so, bro's a certified cooking machine.

I'm pretty sure catalogs use the exact same background images as the corresponding sets.

How is a novel even remotely related to LEGO?

Didn't even notice that, looks ridiculous now that I look at it. The original set had a rocky landscape with a forest and water in front of the Great Hall, with more Hogwarts and the Moon in the background. The new one is literally situated on grass, and that's about it.

Even though legotrutle's comments are totally incomprehensible and I have absolutely no idea what he's trying to say 97% of the time, reading them is always the highlight of my day. The Jokeroni. Yum.

I look at these sets and feel... absolutely nothing. Buckbeak looks okay, couldn't care less. Same goes for Mandrake, although I like the build a bit more here. Diagon Alley shops look incredibly plain and unexciting. The facade of Ollivanders is nice, but that's about it. Aragog looks fantastic, but it's just a 1:1 remake (in terms of contents) of a set we got, which again, isn't exciting. I think it's the best set of the wave, but even this one doesn't make me feel a single thing. Am I the only one who thinks that the Great Hall looks incredibly boring and plain? It's twice as big as the previous two ones, but feels half as packed. The troll is nice, but the set is such a disappointment imo.

No idea what's going on there. If it had released last year, they would've called it Batmobile: Harley Quinn and Mr. Freeze Face-off or Batman Animated TV Series Batmobile. Those sound much better than a whole sentence describing what you see on the box.

What is up with those set names tho? Batman with the Batmobile vs. Harley Quinn and Mr. Freeze? Batman Construction Figure and the Bat-Pod Bike? Someone please tell LEGO that set names should be catchy titles, and not sentences describing everything you can see on the box.

Well, glad we at least have a wave this year. There's still the 4+ set, which might make this the most random wave for a theme of all time — a small mech for a character that doesn't use mechs, a highly requested vehicle based on an animated series, and a buildable figure with a vehicle based on another movie. The mech looks cool, but I don't really care about it. The bike with the buildable figure is a huge whatever. The Batmobile set is fantastic tho. The build looks great in most places — I love the colour, the overall look, and the display plate. The stud shooters were really unnecessary, but I'm glad they're easy to remove. The hole in the back of the cockpit is annoying. The minifigures are awesome too — Batman looks great, surprised they kept the dual-moulded legs. No idea why they're switching to rubber capes tho, not a big fan of those. Harley Quinn is the same, very good looking minifigure. Mr. Freeze needed more details on his limbs. At the very least they should've changed his hips to blue. Well, the way I see it, one amazing affordable DC set in a single year is more than enough to satisfy me at this point.

Yeah. Probably in the next two weeks.

June.

Really interesting to see that they aren't cancelling the Legacy magazine, but turning it into another regular Ninjago one. I guess that means that we'll be getting twice as many Dragons Rising minifigures in magazine, and I'm all for it.

Haven't enjoyed Ninjago this much since 2018 with Hunted. The new series is fantastic. Except for the best Ninjago era (Seasons 4–6), I think that the theme has never been better. The sets are (mostly) fantastic, and the new villain factions are unique. Imperium is easily one of the best looking ones in the history of this theme imo.

While I think the set itself is quite well-built and coherent... Who is this even for? Like genuinely, why would anyone buy this? It's targeted towards kids, but it doesn't really have any play features. It acts as a light display piece, but I'm not sure if weird cubes are a good core idea for a display set. It doesn't even feel targeted towards Inside Out or Pixar fans. The minidolls are a turn-off to 97% of adult fans, while the kids won't find the lack of characters or play features particularly appealing.

At least this topic is alive thanks to all the nonsense we're discussing — it's not like there's anything else. How much can one say about vague descriptions of four sets? We've gone the exact same route r/BatmanArkham has. No new content, so we delve deeper and deeper into madness.

I mean... that's basically it. Marvel has just sold much better in the recent years. Even last year, which was probably Marvel's worst year yet, they still easily outsold major DC flops like Shazam, The Flash, or Blue Beetle. Let's just hope Gunn manages to revive the love for DC with his DCU. If not, then the future of this theme is dim.

May 1st, which means we could see it any day now. For example, all the May Star Wars sets have leaked recently.

New information about 71814 Tournament Temple City, the 250€ June set, has surfaced. The build is a dark blue temple with a smaller building on either of its sides. There is a small bridge and also a dragon included. Around 14 minifigs, including Wu, Lloyd, Wyldfyre, Cole, Zane, Arin, Nya, and five civilians.

I really like this list. Of course it all depends on the execution and what the sets are based on, but the choices are definitely interesting. Buildable Bumpy sounds really cool, I love buildable dinosaurs. Stegosaurus set is rather reasonably priced. It would be cool if it was based on The Lost World. I definitely like the colour scheme that was chosen for the T-Rex. A trailer sounds like it could be a good build.

What's even your point? You post a lot here, but it's really hard to understand most of it.
