Link, Young Link, Zelda, Dorf, Sonic, "Pokemon Trainer", and Mario next year. We are living in a good time for making Smash Brothers displays. I wonder who is next?

So Ashnflash just posted a review of the set that reveals something surprising none of the marketing revealed (AFAIK): all three "chunks" of the set are modular and can be swapped around and attached to one another. I think all three chunks look far better by themselves regardless of accuracy. While I still think the price is silly, and that the firehouse doesn't look great, I can see the vision now.

Everything about this set screams "cheap". Does this license have no budget?

I'm guessing the facades will be very detailed per Main Street's art style, so they went with a more condensed display versus size.

Is there a chance the Pizza Planet set is actually the Pizza Planet truck?

If the books(? I think one is Tin Toy the short) attached to Slinky were better I would be more interested in the set. And maybe a better minifig than Woody.

Hogwarts looks very inspired by how it was in the early videogames, funnny enough.

If it's a Diagon Alley type set (the first one) I think we will get half tourists and half characters, be it the barbershop quartet, Pluto, Poppins etc. If it's microscale it could just be those two. But I think playscale is more likely.

Just got out of Hoppers, which was wonderful. I'm a little shocked that considering LEGO's desire to make animal sculptures more and more often, they skipped out on this for 2026. King George and Mable buildables seems like an obvious choice.

I think Pluto (costume version) would be a clever exclusive as he's really only at Disney parks.

Pikachu, Eevee and the Kanto Trio is the most logical bet IMO.

Was that confirmed? I know things point to the Bugle but I thought the latest known was "superhero modular".

If the tower looks like the comics Watchtower I will definitely pick it up! This does free up the Baxter Building to perhaps be the big modular this year.

Pizza Planet Truck set v2 when?

I really like that both the BND and Doomsday sets have mini-modulars. I wish I collected the mini-modular system as it's very creative and a fun way to cover the whole of Marvel, but I'm too spoiled by the large modulars.
