"If I can't have them, no one should!" *stamps foot, pouts, cries to mommy*

The temple is $100; the Bounty is $160.

If I recall correctly it's $159.99, but I'll have to double check on that.

fake-ity fake fake fake

Yeah, the theme was just exclusive to LBR for the first three months. As of June 1st, they're available through other retailers.

How much you wanna bet on that?

I can't tell who is genuinely confused about Koko and who is just going along with the joke.

I would bet literally any amount of money in the entire world that the Royal Talon Fighter will be a LEGO set.

I must say, I'm extremely grateful for the "Ignore" function this forum has.

The operative word there being "may." As far as I know, that was his prediction, but not necessarily a confirmation of anything.

I apologize for the bluntness of my post; I really thought it would prevent derailment, not prompt everyone to pile on the poor guy. Anyway, it might not be that much longer before next year's Mighty Micros are officially revealed. Last year they were shown at the end of June.

False.

I can't really judge Zane's from that picture since it seems to be on backwards, but I do really like Jay's hairpiece. Looks like my hair when I've gone way too long without a haircut.

Orrrr it could just be a different set entirely

Reportedly it's a Ninjago City set, but I don't think anything else is publicly known.

Yeah, I fully expect Black Panther Pursuit to be retired by the end of this year; I was talking about the sets for the actual Black Panther solo movie. Sorry for the confusion.

^That makes more sense to me. Besides, at the time Infinity War sets release, the Black Panther, Thor, Spider-Man, and probably even Guardians sets will still be on shelves as well, so I don't think every single character necessarily needs to be included among the four sets.

No. Brickset forums are good for a laugh every now and then, but useless if you want real information.

He guessed fairly close on the piece count though

I'm pretty sure the "Open" and "Gone Fishin'" signs on the doors, the Opening Hours and Boat Rentals signs, and the 2x4 tile on the roof are stickered as well, and the "Anton's Bait Shop" sign and fishhook packages are printed. (Plus all the parts like the wood planks and map and TNT crate that are existing prints from other sets.)

I don't think that's necessarily the case. All themes end up with "dead SKUs" here and there (see also 76074 from Super Heroes for another recent example).

Yep. Like Gertrude Stein's Oakland, there's no there there. Oh well. (I have no idea what it was originally planned to be, but it's definitely been scrapped.)

I don't suppose there's any way to change the poll so you can choose more than one, is there? I mean, there is precedent for two submissions passing in the same review period. Maybe I'm just too indecisive.

It's a pretty safe bet that no one will know anything about it until next year at the very earliest, so there is absolutely no point in asking. Thank you for being one of the most consistently entertaining posters here though.

Beachside Vacation, naturally.
