Disney Properties 2023 - Rumors & Discussion
BacktoBricks replied to Huigberts Builds's topic in LEGO Licensed
Yes possibly. It's rarer I think that people want to do it that way around so you might be on to something if you can catch that first wind of high sales and you would like a lot of the bricks. -

Well that's tonight's nightmare sorted. I can just imagine what the figs alone will sell for though. It will be one of those you might as well have just buy the whole set scenarios I think. -

Always funny how people who find things early 'in a store' only have a potato camera and an amazing ability for funny angles. -

Oh boy! Only 8 minifigures; that is very disappointing, especially as Tiana is basically voided by the CMF version. Can't deny the exterior looks good and all props to the designer, but whoever is doing the budget is taking the mickey. -

Ah yeah very true. Guess we'll have to wait a little longer then. -

8 would definitely be a let down and make the celebrations rather fall flat when you think of the rumoured 22 minifigures in the new Avengers Tower. Even 12 could be better. As for Belle, she's also one of the tiles shown on the 100 Years of Disney Animation box front artwork. Granted Elsa and Jasmine are there too, but they do already have minifigures. Are we thinking official reveal for the castle today or more like next week? -

Haha I said they were cute. Which I think they are; not too oversized or overstated. -

I really hope we get a leak of more than just the bum side today. -

True, but unless it's like another objects set or something I'm just not sure how she'd fit in. But yeah don't get my hopes up! -

That's what I was thinking, but I would so have loved a Merida. Shame there isn't a unknown poly left as like it's been said she could easily come in that. I have her three little brother bears waiting. -

I feel like the castle is where the heroes get to hang out and the villains have to make do with a pile of giant objects. So we still don't know the last two minifigures or have I forgotten a pair? As far as I can tell we are getting Snow White, Prince Florian, Cinderella, Prince Charming, Princess Aurora, Prince Philip, Princess Tiana, Prince Naveen, Rapunzel and Eugene? So that leaves two. -

Yes! That's awesome. I do wonder why we got Tiana in a green dress in the CMF though when she seems to be in the same colour here. The fireworks are cute though. -

I've just finished building after finally receiving my preorder yesterday. It was such a fun build; some interesting techniques, but not too hard at all and a lot of proper bricks so felt quite old school which adds to the nostalgic charm. I love flipping open the VHS top and all the little hidey holes. The printed clock face is also a lovely little print from one of my childhood favourites. I've got it on display now with all my classic animation villains from both the set and the CMF series: Maleficent, Genie Jafar, Gaston, both forms of the Evil Queen, Ursula, Cruella, Queen Of Hearts, Cheshire Cat, Captain Hook and Dr Facilier. It looks fantastic and so colourful and I just need to get a Series 2 Jafar and Hades and it will be complete (until they do more classic villains). A heroes version would be amazing to go with as it's makes for such a great way to display figures. Scar, Shere Khan, Mother Gothel, Governor Ratcliffe (with Percy), Shan Yu, Lady Tremaine and Prince Hans are the notable exclusions I think from classic movies. -

I'm not in the US, but preordering it in the UK has done me no good; they haven't even dispatched it yet. Lego really needs to employ more people and resources with all those profits I think. -

You guys have good eyesight. How on earth can you tell that's an Endor Leia? I just see a pirate at a glance. -
Wizarding World 2023 - Rumors & Discussion
BacktoBricks replied to Clone OPatra's topic in LEGO Licensed
So it's June 1st tomorrow and I can't believe I'm not hyped to buy anything. I've got Dobby on preorder from Lego, but know they will take an age to deliver. After that I'm just not loving any of the sets enough to stay up until midnight to order and pay full RRP. -

Boring, bland and not something I have any interest in owning or displaying personally. -
Marvel Superheroes 2023 - Rumors & Discussion
BacktoBricks replied to Clone OPatra's topic in LEGO Licensed
This is me exactly. I've got into Marvel a lot more over the past couple of years and I was just ready to start dropping some more money on the theme after the Sanctum and Benatar, but these are making me hesitant. I like the idea of display pieces that can be playable, but the sets are just too chaotic for me to feel like they are displayable without some kind of plaque to help centralise the vision. The Star Wars dioramas feel really clean to me and whilst I don't want every set to be so cookie cutter, these sets are just missing the mark for me. As some one new to the theme, the figure sections aren't bad as you get quite a few figs you'd have to source from various other sets otherwise, but at the same time the Avengers set is a little underwhelming. Rescue would have made a really cool and colourful addition, but you don't really have to look close to realise the the figs are a combination of other sets figures precisely because they are recycled. The budget feels a little tight this year what with the Guardians' figs basically being clones in all but heads. I hoping the D2C gives me more of that WOW! moment. -

I managed to get this too! First time ever my Tesco has come through for me, which is amazing considering they have downsized the Lego section recently in my store. I built him and proceeded to take photos of him posing around the house with different items and his is totally adorable. He's going to be hanging out with Dobby in a week or so, but he might have to make another new friend in August. -

I wasn't actively following the Marvel news then, but I'm guessing they got the info wrong with minifigures for those sets too? -

After the Battle Of Hogwarts McGonagall and statue let down I'm taking even Promobricks' minifigure line up with a heavy dose of salt. -
