Dang that sucks, TCW season 7 Maul already came in a cheap set. Would have been way better if it was the Infiltrator version

It looks especially terrible on Ezra since he’s human. Looks bad on Gollum too

I didn’t love The Acolyte, but I thought it was fairly enjoyable, at least some characters. Sol is one of my favorite Jedi of all time even though I thought several characters were unbearable. Sol and Jecki were the highlights, and Qimir was pretty good. All that to say, while it wasn’t my favorite piece of Star Wars media, I’d be down for a set or two for sure. I doubt it will happen though

I hope it’s the Maul from the Sith Infiltrator

Huh, very glad to be wrong. Cheap Plo Koon= HELL YEAH

I personally hope the second Andor set is either the Fondor or the TIE Avenger we saw in the teaser Any buildable character will be a complete waste of bricks as usual

Again, I would rather they focus on characters they never made before, but at the end of the day I also want updated remakes of past figures. But to be honest I don’t even want them to touch The Hobbit unless they will actually do something with it. If they’re only going to do one scene, that’s the best choice, but it still feels empty if we don’t get remakes of Smaug and Azog and finally get characters like Bolg and the trolls. So I’d really rather they just stick with LOTR since it seems like it might actually go somewhere

LOTR sets stopped after 2013 I think normies would like hobbits to populate their display, instead of Dwarves they wouldn’t know what to do with

I don’t think getting figures over ten years ago counts much towards what they do now. That being said, I would still rather get characters they didn’t do yet first, but I would like them to revisit ones they did already because they all need updates

I can’t see them doing the dwarves you mentioned with existing parts easily at all. Thorin and Fili and Kili with Dumbledore hair? Same for the others, there just aren’t any existing pieces that could make them look anything like their on screen characters. Ori is probably the only one that would work, and he never even got a specialized mold last time either

Also look how simplistic the builds were in that 2005 set. It’s so much better now. Prices are certainly over the top, but I’m very happy with how far the designs have come, builds and minifigs

Definitely not the ghost legs Personally I would love to see either a printed robe piece or printed legs with armor printed on the toes. Also Ahsoka’s gunmetal hands I’ll have to try the mindflayer piece There a couple sets of printed legs I’d like to try on the new torso that I just haven’t yet. Emperor Palpatine, General Hux, etc

Not necessarily. They were right there in the Shire, and lego likes to add some sort of conflict to most sets. True they didn’t for Rivendell but still, there was already enough going on there. It also seems strange that they would continue to restock the Nazgûl torsos on B&P if they were only going to be available in a single GWP that was only available for a brief time this year. Unless of course they plan on reusing them soon

Why would Merry and Pippin be boring??? Ideal situation to me would be based on Fellowship of the Ring and include party versions of Bilbo, Frodo, Sam, Merry, and Pippin as well as characters like Rosie Cotton, the Sackville Bagginses, and maybe Farmer Maggot or something to go with one or two mounted Ringwraiths. And Gandalf of course. 12 figures doesn’t seem like too much to ask for in a ~$300 set Merry and Pippin could have alternate firework explosion faces I would certainly not complain about a set based on The Hobbit with Bilbo, Gandalf, and all of Thorin’s Company. But that just doesn’t seem likely

Why do people keep saying this? “We already got them” it’s been over ten years, it’s remake time. Just because a lot of them still hold up ok doesn’t mean they wouldn’t benefit from modern remakes

I’m pretty sure Plo Koon’s Starfighter and the Night Troopers battle pack were just reposted by everyone but the original account ended up being responsible for a bunch of fake rumors I was under the impression those two sets had been discredited as false rumors

Plo Koon Starfighter was a false rumor it looks like

Eh I think it depends on how the individual collector decides to categorize it. Personally I don’t count the little ugly store builds as part of the official line. And I still consider my collection complete. I could go either way on the Brickheadz, but I do have them. I count poly bags too

Ok that’s fair. I’m honestly surprised they didn’t make a set based on the flashback vision sequence in Ahsoka. Armored TCW Anakin with arm printing, Ahsoka, and Phase 1 Rex

I don’t get Brickheadz, but the LOTR ones aren’t as bad in my opinion. I got them because of the completionist in me but I do kind of like them actually. But generally speaking I think Brickheadz are dumb

They literally used the armored Anakin design in the last TCW set to include him lol. It’s been longer since we’ve seen this design I can’t even imagine thinking the Formula 1 slop is better than this 😭

Would have been nice for it to include ARC Jesse for that price though. Yeah I’m super excited to see the ARC-170. Although I already know I’ll be disappointed in the size, kinda like the Sith Infiltrator

Absolutely love Ahsoka’s Jedi Interceptor!!! Figures look amazing. We’re finally getting an Anakin that doesn’t have the clone armor plate or burn marks on the torso. It’s the perfect Anakin print. And that Ahsoka is perfection, although the old TCW lekku piece was more accurate to this version than this reused Ahsoka show version. But the printing on it looks great and overall it doesn’t look bad at all

Why?? The old one was a nice set but it’s in serious need of updating and upscaling Super happy to have more confirmation about Bag End! Obviously another day one D2C purchase. I do hope the rumored Balrog set is a Bridge of Khazad-dum diorama style set and not just a big brick built Balrog, although that would still be really cool. I just don’t want them to already be going the “random brick built creatures and stuff” route that they’ve been going with HP, Marvel, and Star Wars

I do love large molded creatures. But I’m also really loving the recent trend of brick built creatures with a new molded head and wings, like the Ukrainian Ironbelly in the Gringotts set. I do desperately wish they would bring back wings like Smaug’s though. They were amazing. I’m not a fan of the fabric wings or Avatar plastic ones because one side always looks unfinished. There should be wings on a ball joint with a hard plastic base and rubbery movable membranes just like Smaug’s Leakers often try to do this for franchises they aren’t familiar with. It could be that whoever it was only knows that line and associates the movies with it so they used that to further tease the Shire set. Who knows. Leakers don’t make sense sometimes. I certainly hope there’s actually something there
