I hope they reuse and recolour that windshield in the future, or do it without prints, or something, because that could be so useful for MOCs . . please don’t be like the UCS Slave I windshield (took four years to pop up in another set and then in trans purple which I like but get is limited-usefulness).

. . . I’m having trouble determining if you’re saying it’s real or not from your wording . .

There’s an image on Instagram claiming there’ll be SCOOB! sets. Personally I don’t believe it until we see a leaked minifigure torso or an official press release.

You mean the one tagged with @kmft_leaks? That’s 404, we’ve seen him a lot of times before. Just now the guy didn’t accidentally put Cole’s mask on him.

New episode!

I’m pretty sure it’s legit as well. I’ve looked closely, and sure the torso has the same four mocap dots as Jay, but underneath it the white printing on the left side of the torso (Right from Kai’s perspective) is a different pattern. Plus the headgear also has a different symbol.

Exactly. Some of the ghost bios in the app even specifically discuss how the ghost died. For example; Ben “Batter” Jackson. Holds the Home Run record for the Crazy Crays. He died trying to catch a ball in his mouth.

The what hairpiece? I don’t know that, which set was it in? Do you have a part number?

No way it’s Zane, he has Jay’s notched eyebrow if anything. Though Unagami might actually be Echo Zane . . huh. I doubt they’d use ‘evil Zane’ as the villain twice in a row.

Is it online anywhere? Can I see it?

Also, what's your source on this?

Sounds good. By ghosts I assume you mean civilians who get possessed by ghosts? And the subway has a mining that gets leg swapped? Awesome.

Awesome!

I heard $80 USD/$100 AUD for one of them, not sure which.

It’s a Popobawa, or Bawa for short. The same boss ghost as appears in the Ghost Train set. It’s an evil bat spirit from Zanzibar. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Popobawa

Sounds like the Lion dance is the popular one. Can anyone tell what part that green 'cabbage' hair piece is? Because I didn't notice it at first, but it might just be exactly what I've been wanting all year for a MOC.

Hey, everyone! Sorry for starting a new thread, but, well it seemed appropriate.

So, I bet everyone thought that the three (four of you count the Brickheadz) sets we got this year would be the end of it, right? WRONG! https://brickingaround.com/2019/11/05/lego-announces-2020-chinese-new-year-sets/ Totally unexpected, but totally awesome! It’ll probably be just as overpriced as the previous wave, but these sets look gorgeous. I particularly like the recoloured Parker beanie/hair mould and the Lion parade floats. Discuss! We’ve got another article! https://www.brothers-brick.com/2019/11/05/lego-reveals-two-new-chinese-new-year-sets-for-2020-that-combine-into-one-gigantic-festival-news/

You’re forgetting the digital coral butcher from a while back. The plot said that civilians were getting trapped in the game, I suspect the VR dragons and the butcher and probably a fair few other minifigures we haven’t seen yet are civilians, who might have been co-opted into working for Unagami but aren’t really aligned with them. Maybe the VR dragons are siblings IRL, or lovers, or something. It’s also worth noting that the only two sets for this year that are directly villain associated are the Empire Temple of Madness and Empire Dragon. All the rest are ninja focused. It’s possible that this year there won’t be masseable grunts, no generic Sky Pirates, no unnamed Vermillion, no assortment of near-identical Blizzard Samurai. Unagami will probably be in both Empire themed sets, 404 also probably in the Empire Temple and maybe one of the ninja sets, and then the ‘antagonists’ will just be fellow gamers competing against the ninja (probably with varying degrees of friendliness).

A new minifigure leaked. It looks like . . well, it looks like I got ninja’d. Congrats, @Classic_Spaceman I think I preferred the pink one. Still, the fact that this is a recurring series of similar characters rather than just a one-off is interesting.

I hope so. I don’t have the Pet Shop - I only started city building last year, so the earliest Modular I’ve been able to get so far is the Parisian Restaurant. I’m keeping eyes on the aftermarket for any of the earlier ones but I’m not hopeful. The Pet Shop formula was brilliant and allowed for so much customisation, so seeing another Modular like it would be brilliant.

So, I found the oddest thing at the Chadstone LEGO shop in Melbourne a few days ago; https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=970c00pb0716&idColor=5#T=S&C=5&O={"color":5,"iconly":0} Yeah. The legs from Casual Movie Kai that were exclusive to Ninjago City. I was on a time limit, so I didn’t have enough time to look and see if his exclusive torso was there as well. It’s not the first time I’ve found the occasional weird and interesting thing there, but I was still surprised; an exclusive minifigure part from a $500 AUD set? Has anyone else come across anything like this in the Build a Minifigure sections?

. . I know. I was the first person to notice that. I meant his robes, he looks like he’s wearing a gi of some kind.

I like that theory! Plus, Mr. E has a history of pretending to be a ninja, which might explain why he now looks like he’s an evil ninja.

Yeah but I was hoping the fourth would be a yellow or blue ghost, to add some variety. Even a green one. See? This is what I was thinking of.
