Doctor Who being in Dimensions might explain the possibility of a new mold in the Ideas set, come to think of it. Marty's hoverboard shows that they can make new molds for the Dimensions sets.

There will be Simpsons characters. As for new characters, though! I kinda doubt it.

In that case your money is probably better spent in the action figure aisle.

Well, Disney makes Infinity, which is a direct competitor in the toys-to-life gaming category. I doubt they'd want to give TT the rights to characters that are already in use in their own game.

You're not going to see anything from Disney in this game - they have their own.

That doughnut on Joel's desk at the end of the video might be a hint toward who else we might see in this game...

Another teaser pic showed up on Back to the Future's Facebook page last night...

It's already been revealed. It's another Winter Toy Shop.

As others have said, if you're big into minifigures, your money might be better spent elsewhere, but I'm personally much more concerned with an impressive build, so I say go for it. Full disclosure: I have one but have yet to find the time to build it (or break down the sets currently on my top shelf to make room for it), so my opinion of it is mostly based on my brief time spent handling the one my friend built. But I still think it's well worth the money for any fan of Marvel and LEGO and makes for a really stunning display piece.

Welcome to the fold! Others will have more specific advice to offer on the train front, but as for your other questions: 1. I definitely recommend Creator over City; the builds are indeed more sophisticated and tend to have a much better price per piece. The City line will probably be your best bet for vehicles though, as Creator vehicles come in all different scales whereas City vehicles are all built to scale with minifigures. For buildings you might want to start with one of the Creator 3-in-1 sets like the Toy & Grocery Shop or Bike Shop & Cafe, and try building it all 3 ways to get a feel for building techniques and different ways to use the same pieces - this will really help add to your building skills if you decide to start making your own creations as well. After that, Creator Expert sets like the Parisian Restaurant and Detective's Office are a great way to add big, detailed buildings to your city layout. 2. Getting one or two Classic sets can certainly help you out once you want to start designing your own models. Since they come with such a wide variety of parts and colors, you won't really be able to build anything major out of those parts alone, but they can supplement what you have from other sets and help give you ideas for how to use those pieces effectively. I personally got 10694 so I could have more bright and pastel colors to use as accents for the more muted palette that makes up a lot of my own collection. Hope all this helps!

Looks like we might see some more info about this come Thursday, if the teaser on The LEGO Movie's Facebook page is what I think it is.

Ah yes. In which case the loophole is "redesign the part."

So, just wanted to let people know, if you're still bummed about the missing seagull, you might want to check your local LEGO Store's BaM bar.

And in this case the loophole is "don't try to get a job as a LEGO designer," because connections that overstress the parts aren't going to pass review.

On the cosmic side? Captain Marvel and Thanos are bound to show up soon. As for Daredevil I'm among those hoping we'll get a set loosely based on the Defenders even if we have to wait for the series to air.

Yeah, I believe you. Which is to say, I believe that's what your source told you. On April 1st.

Try a spoiler alert next time champ

guys look at tihs pic jluck found, obviuosly this is 1000% real and in no way a DisneyTMTM party!! I love DisneyTMTMTM so much I could [redacted] my megablocking pants!!!!!!1! Edit: Wow, I really though the filter would catch that one...

I think you misunderstood that post. Quicksilver was saying that back in September, Hulk_Smash reported that we would be getting 1. an Ant-Man set and 2. a Bionicle-sized Hulkbuster, both of which ended up being true.

Don't expect any Suicide Squad sets. Do expect a Batman set in which the villains happen to be members of the Suicide Squad.

Nothing's coming out for the rest of the year from Marvel that we haven't already seen, but you might be surprised how early the details of next year's lineup can start trickling down.

Even further back - that video was originally posted in the beginning of February. Also, Blondie-Wan, you have a very good point that we could find clues about the set based on features in the winning proposal that aren't in the other one. Another important distinction: the submission that passed has a TARDIS that unfolds to become a backdrop for the interior.

Who says we wouldn't get both?

True - a new Green Lantern movie is slated for 2020, and he might show up sooner than that considering Justice League comes out in 2017 and Justice League Part 2 in 2019. But I'm certainly getting ahead of myself; this is, after all, the 2015 thread...

Anytime soon? Slim to nil. The current set is already the second-lowest price point for Super Heroes sets anyway, so I'd recommend you go ahead and get it. I don't anticipate a smaller GL set happening until he's in a movie.
