Given I saved it and am looking at it right now, I can say he does . . but ninja_whip is a reliable leaker so I’m inclined to assume the box has turned out to be fake.

I figure the toy shelf would be in Dudley’s room. I looked at that and thought the model would have Dudley’s bedroom on an upper level of the house. {shrugs} I guess we’ll see soon.

As far as the Death Star II rumour, if it’s a strict remake I’d be dissatisfied because there’d be no interior. But we’re they to make a Death Star II remake with an interior, I’d be all over that. But this is all conjecture since it’s not happening anyway.

This is gorgeous! I want something like this in my city!

Back in Indiana Jones they did blue eyes for Willie. Lloyd in Ninjago has green eyes, and Zane has blue eyes. I think those all look pretty fine to me.

Well, in my city I’ve got the skeleton version of El Fuego as the ‘real’ Elton Douglas, and repurposed his old human minifigure as ‘Diego Diaz, janitor’. So it works out for me.

That is exactly what I’ve done with my old Serpentine!

You just have to scroll past all the A-Wing reposts. Kai looks neat, though the hat surprises me. I bet this is going to be the Kai from the new . . I think the leaks called it ‘Spinjitzu Surge’ sets? The ones where the spinners are hexagonal and function as dice.

What makes you so sure she’s from Ninjago? I think she looks more Monkey Kid.

Yeah, I saw that on #legoleaks. Is this from a reliable source? Because that all sounds awesome, I’d love a calendar with all of those minifigures.

Oh, that would be cute!

Thanks! That’s perfect. I was hoping for Flame Yellowish Orange.

Ah. Whoops. Well, I was considering getting the 4+ one for Loki anyway, guess I have to now.

New Captain Marvel looks awesome. When I saw they were doing normal blue I was actually a little disappointed that there was leg printing because it means I can’t use the red/blue dual/moulded Spidey legs, but that’s such a horrible thing to complain about and Captain Marvel is gorgeous! So we’re sure she comes in Avengers Tower right? Can’t wait!

Hey, does anyone know if the Tournament Knight is ordinary yellow or Flame Yellowish Orange? I can’t tell from the pictures.

In case anyone missed this; Also, Just2good’s confirmed that the 26 identical” parts are prints, not stickers. Woo-hoo! Can’t wait to pick this one up. I just hope stock will be available in Australia with the country on lockdown.

Amen. I’m still waiting for The Collector. I’d hope for some figures from LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2. Kang and Ravonna, Captain Avalon, Jane Foster Thor (though we’ll probably get her with the inevitable Love and Thunder sets and I’m not too attached to Jane Foster anyway).

I don’t think it’s fair to say they reused they hair. By that logic they reuse hair all the time.

Cute!

Uh . . WHAT THE HELL?! Now that my initial reaction is out of the way, Crafting Box 3.0, boring, nothing new, hard pass. But holy shit that . . Redstone Monstrosity? Four new player characters, some kind of Minecraft weapons accessory pack, and Redstone Golems of some kind what the hell is this? I . . I don’t know if I’m going to get this or not. It’s cool but not really something that fits in my existing Minecraft setup . . it’s so different to literally everything LEGO Minecraft’s done before.

Sure, but I live in Australia. The preorder usn’t even available here yet, and the price will be terrible. I’d feel like an idiot if I preordered it now for . . AUD = 1.5 x USD, plus $30 shipping because it doesn’t crack the $150 threshold . . $120 dollars, only to find out that I could wait and get the same stuff for $70 later on. Especially since I don’t even want the Starter Set much next to the Bowser Castle (assuming it also has Mario) and the Monty Mole set. Based on the four sets so far, it looks like they’re going to stick to four main types of terrain; green grass, blue water, yellow sand, and red lava. And brown wood and grey stone, I guess. I’m hoping they might also do white snow in one or two sets.

Hey, everyone! There’s two new listings on Shop@Home for the Mario Starter Course, except that one of them is a ‘Starter Bundle With Gift’ and at the end it has images of what I assume is the ‘Monty Mole and Super Mushroom GWP’. And it actually looks awesome. I can’t seem to upload it on here because Eurobricks’ image policy is awful, but it looks surprisingly great and way more fleshed out than I expected. This isn’t some poly bag, it’s a whole actual expansion set similar to the Piranha Plant one but much better. EDIT: I’ve put a picture on #legoleaks. I really hope this isn’t just a GWP and can be bought independently. It’s cute and I like it.

I have zero interest in Zelda, have only played Breath Of The Wild (because it was rated the top game of the entire decade, how could I not?) and would still buy anything they themed around Zelda. Especially Hyrule Castle or a Guardian. I definitely want the Bowser Castle and whatever sets contain Yoshi and that gorgeously built Pipe Piranha Plant we saw in the trailer, but do feel like I’ll skip most of this wave. Though I do like Bowser Jr so I hope he’s not exclusive to the Starter Course . .

No, what doesn’t stand to reason is having a $100 set whose value is halfway tied up on the assumption that anyone who buys it is also going to buy a $60 accompanying set. There’s been sets with good price-per-part ratios before, even licensed ones. Is it really so hard to believe that a set could be priced at $100 USD with a $0.10 price-per-part ratio and also include the Mario figure? Yes, as a matter of fact, I did. And I believe that the Piranha desert minecart whatever that messy thing’s called set is an expansion set. That announcement states that there are expansion sets, not that EVERY other set is an expansion set. And as for it being ‘only included in this set’, I’m inclined to chalk that up to a translation error or misquote. People can get things wrong. I’m inclined to believe the pictures over the text, and the pictures say Mario’s coming in the Castle. Especially given that whoever wrote that article thinks ‘figure that are only included’ is correct grammar. I doubt that’s particularly official.

So are we sure it does include the Mario figure? It could go either way; on the bright side that means Mario comes in multiple sets, but I can’t help but notice the first two and last two segments of the Bowser’s Castle build are identical to segments from the Starter Pack, which is either the designers being lazy or part of the Starter Pack attached and the Castle is actually just the Castle with no exterior. I have to say that I agree. I want Bowser’s Castle and that one mushroom house we saw in the reveal trailer. Everything else, pass . . though I do like Bowser Jr, so if he’s exclusive to the Starter Pack then maybe. EDIT: Actually, strike that, I’m an idiot! The segment in the Starter Pack next to the pipe has a yellow flower, but the matching one in the Castle has a pink flower! They are separate, which means Mario almost definitely does also come in the Castle. Whew!
