THELEGOBATMAN

I see LEGO is still refusing to include Nya in a magazine.

Yeah, hoping it will help. They definitely do look like they will come with new shoulder armour, based on how armoured the suits look.

It's not the branding that's the problem, but the content itself. Dioramas aren't 18+ because they are based on mature things, but because the build is aimed at adults (more complex, less play features). Making a set based on an adult oriented movie would be like Batman crossing the no-killing rule. There's no coming back. Once LEGO does this, people will ask for more. Adults might say it's a good thing, but I think LEGO would prefer to not make sets that are inappropriate for kids (at least theoretically).

It's kinda weird that so far, Dragons Rising is two for two in terms of weirdly shaped masks. First, the masks are too sleek, making them look like helmets. Then they look like masks, but ridiculously bulky ones.

Realistically speaking, I think the movie in question is either Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire, Inside Out 2, or Despicable Me 4. Avatar is not a possibility, because we're getting the next movie in over 2 years. That's ridiculous. Making Deadpool 3 PG-13 after reassuring fans for years that it's gonna be R-rated would be the worst move Disney could do. You got December right, but the year wrong. The movie's coming out in 2025. Seriously, I'd sell like two of my fingers for those.

Oh? That's intriguing. Can't wait to get my hands on brand new Kraven the Hunter LEGO sets.

Yeah, I'm just grasping at straws. (Although I'd kill for Planet of the Apes sets.)

Unless the Pixar set is based on Inside Out 2, or we get surprise sets based on Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes or Despicable Me 4, then it will truly be a year without sets based on new movies.

I don't really mind the print on her hair – I mind the hairpiece as a whole. Barely even resembles Rogue's hairstyle.

This is one of the biggest minifigure downgrades I've ever seen. It's infuriating when LEGO makes a minifigure, and somehow it's much worse than the same version of that character, but from 10 years ago. No moulded armour, just a plain hood. No red markings on the torso. The face print is awful, especially the mouth section.

I think you meant to say 2 films, since Blade will get delayed again (and again, and again).

I really hope they do. As much as I want more LEGO X-Men, there's no way in hell I'm buying a 359-piece set for 85€ (even on a discount).

Funnily enough we already got a S2 Hulkbuster set.

Do we know whether the Captain Rex Microfighter is coming in June (like The Mandalorian sets and the Luke Mech), or August (like all the other sets, except the UCS and the Advent Calendar)?

I'm not saying it's not gonna happen, because Secret Wars is gonna be the worst case of pointless, terrible fan-service. I'm saying that MTTSH is saying anything to stay relevant, and nothing she says should be considered even a rumour. It's too early to say what characters will appear in that movie, yet alone who'll be the lead. Not to mention having characters not from the MCU be the main protagonists of an MCU Avengers movie would be jarring.

A buildable... Mandrake...?

The "rumours" are from MyTimeToShineHello, who's not a reliable source anymore. She's just saying anything to stay relevant.

No. We're not getting Deadpool 3 sets. It's just a line that LEGO will not cross.

Because it will sell much better with it. The logo on the box might seem like a minor difference, but it does change a lot.

Wow, Wolf warriors look fantastic. Really unique villain faction. This wave is shaping up really nicely in terms of minifigures.

Why do people think that colours don't line up around her waist? Sure, the watermark partially covers that part, but even with it you can clearly see that it lines up perfectly.

I mean hey, at least we're getting a new X-Men member. Even if the minifigure isn't great, it's still much better than a third Storm.

Glad to see that masks are looking like masks once again. The suit itself looks really cool, more Samurai-like. It's his regular Ninja outfit. He'll get another one for a more Sensei-like design.

Wow, what an unexpectedly fantastic little wave. The Rescue Centre is really cool, even though it doesn't have any new moulds. The builds are well-made (for 4+ sets, that is), and it's great to see Camp Cretaceous characters again (they should've used mid-legs tho). The T. Rex Fossil is incredible. The skull itself should've been longer, as the snout is too short for a T. Rex, but the model itself is looking extremely impressive. With a very low 40€ price, this has become a must-buy for me.

I'm pretty sure Disney doesn't charge LEGO over every set. They have deals for certain time periods.
