Their post about Belle and Gaston came later. This user basically leaked a recent Harry Potter set.

Mickey in a silver jacket has leaked, likely to come in the Birthday Train set as was "predicted" here before. The same user "predicted" Belle and Gaston are getting figures this year.

I also have a feeling that the Marvel CMF may be different this year. Kang would have a lot of draw as opposed to now year-old characters from D+ series. I think it will be a mixture of live action D+ and movies with no What If characters.

I hope that Lizard appears in another set, otherwise I worry we aren't going to get a bigfig ever again. The last one was Thanos in 2021.

I think it makes sense, what would be the appeal of a smaller playset for something almost entirely for AFOLs?

This would be cool, which Spider-man would they do? 2099 piece count may be a hint at Spiderverse.

I'm going to assume it's OOT, just based on it being the definitive 3D Zelda.

I wonder which Joker design it will be. Hopefully the first one, considering Phantasm is there.

I do hope the Witch shows up in some form or another, maybe there is a "Birthday Train" set for villains that don't require much detail?

Should've been a modular, even if it's not accurate.

I understand the Burrow. While the theme feels more or less "complete" with Battle for Hogwarts and Gringotts this year, it still makes money so they are going to start putting out "unnecessary" D2Cs. I like the idea of a Big Burrow even if it wasn't very popular. I think people can definitely start praying for a playset D2C hogwarts now.

I really hope that Snow White and Maleficent sets come out this year, as the CMF already set up their inclusion (Evil Queen with no Snow, Aurora with no Phillip).

Adam has the same problem the Mk 85 has where the printed gold color isn't available as a piece color. He looks like he's wearing a sleeveless but they just can't make arms in that shade of gold.

While the buildable figures are meh, Snow White is obvious (doubly so with the Queen in the CMF) and a Maleficent set would make sense with the lack of Phillip in the CMF (and, maybe purposefully, to go with Sorcerer Mickey for Fantasmic). Regardless if they are true I can see the bottom two happening regardless.

The courtyard final battle to connect with the Sirius courtyard seems fitting for the final modular Hogwarts set, but there's still things they could do like the greenhouses, 1-2 Hagrids Hut and a quidditch redo.

New set looks great. Chiming in to say 76210 has been heavily rumored to be Avengers Tower.

This MK 85 is my favorite as the mask's gold now matches the legs. Originally only the legs didn't match, but now its the arms that are the weird part, which you can replace with a gold keychain's arms and I think it looks much better. This is the first Lego Iron Man helmet, with a mechanism, that actually matches the gold used on armor plating.

The new Stranges in the set are Sinister and Zombie.

Cad Bane's ship was pretty clearly included for two reasons: 1) They knew Cad Bane would resurface in some important way beyond the cartoons. 2) Omega That's pretty much it.

I have heard that the Stark Suit Spiderman is almost completely redone and has boot printing, so it shouldn't be a waste of a figure.

DS2 was fantastic, a lot of the poorer reviews seem to be because it is rather "cheesy", and I can see why Raimi's style is not palatable for modern audiences (even if the Spiderman trilogy is well enjoyed today, it was also not released today and is seen as representative of the time).

I also believe the AC suit features in What If so it is making the rounds. Spidey is done being tech themed in the MCU but the AC is, IMO, the definitive "tech themed Spidey suit".

Probably because IW is immensely more popular than Doctor Strange 1.

A lot of people expected Sara or Rintrah (because toys of them) and I honestly expected Variant Christina. Pretty surprising to only see one girl in this set.

Wong will probably have a new torso, the same legs as Sanctum Workshop and the same (bad) face. Maybe new hair. MK 50 will have the new helmet and I honestly don't know about Spidey. Hopefully Ebony Maw has a more accurate face.
