Time to throw out some X-Mansion guesses and see how many I hit in 6 months time Includes at least 1 if not 2 (small) buildable Sentinels (Around size of last build or smaller using same head mould as CMF) and will be attacking the X-Mansion on the back of the box It'll hinge open like Home Alone house and not be standard modular Mr Sinister will be included as he'll reuse Ronan's cape piece Cyclops will be same as X-Jet but with dual moulded legs Magneto and Wolverine will be same as X-Jet Other 6 characters will be Beast (different to CMF but reusing hairpiece), Gambit, Bishop, Jubilee, Mystique and Sabretooth. No Prof X and especially Jean as we need something to really hate the set for Storm will stay exclusive to CMF and Rogue exclusive to X-Jet There will be a Deadpool easter egg sticker Not a guess but would be funny if the leaked (faked) Quicksilver torso was from X-Mansion set.

Thanks

I might be mistaken but wasnt there talk of 3 D2Cs this year for the superhero theme? Gotham Art set, X-Manison and something undisclosed that could be DC or Marvel? Was the third meant to be 76283 or another number?

Isn't it because they are prelim renders and not the final renders?

It was exclusive to Smyths Toys and went down to 49.99 which was still too much for me. Looks like theyve sold the last of their stock and stopped selling it (removed from the website not just OOS) even though its not retired yet which I've never seen before.

As amazing as this sounds and I'd would certainly want it Ill go back to the thing I bang on about everytime Arkham sets are mentioned. We need a modular Arkham like the Hogwarts system HP has been doing and is into its third version. Price points could vary from lowest to highest to please the widest amount of fans and they could connect together. Break your set up into smaller chunks that connect with a range of figures that would prob exceed how many you could fit even in a 500 set. The advantage it has over hogwarts is theres no set look for Arkham. You could have more modern areas, older areas, different cells for different characters in 10-20 price range. Doesn't even have to be part of the building to connect to the modular system. A GCPD car or Prison Transport could be a set. Something like this could go on for years giving us new sections, new characters (alongside your standard inclusions). Id honestly love them to do something like this designed well with how it connects than a giant expensive version (as great as that could be too) and the system doesnt even negate a giant set to gauge the fans wallets either.

Same . Why is White one still up as its not in a set (we know of) at min is it? Id have preferred white one to have gone and kept the red

Wheres the correlation there? Medieval Town Square was vastly different to leak. Its going to different on a case by case basis

According to DuckBricks lego factory visit video its 5 years after its last use then the mould is destroyed with exceptions being rare

MiniSuperherosToday said the same thing but surely its still in production today because its in the Daily Bugle set which currently doesnt retire to end of 2025?!

Isn't that what I said in the bit you snipped out!

All this is true and Brick Fanatics (there are others) do a list thats updated each month that highlight these constant changes so people can keep an eye on sets they want to get before they retire. If there is an up tick of sales (and other factors) the retirement date can be pushed back. The Daily Bugle set was retiring last year at one point.

True but certain people on here were treating it as rumoured because the Batman with Bike one is meant to have one (which I think was a mistranslation of the actual rumour too)

No rumoured minifigure version on the box that I can see

On PaB click on that result and in the popup it says the color is Black. On Bricklink, click on that search result and look at the selected color, it doesnt have one selected and the orange is just the default pic for those types of legs. If you type that number into the search box you'll see the black/white pic shown in dropdown and selecting that will take you to same page as your search result but with color selected as Black.

You sure they are Orange/White. Using that number and clicking on the one result (with no picture) says colour is Black and searching Bricklink shows it as https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=970c00pb0965&idColor=11#T=S&C=11&O={"color":"11","ss":"UK","rpp":"50","iconly":0} All the new torso are same price as increased price so prob just keeping them inline

I second this! Theres one or two decent ones on rebrickable but one where we could get prints (okay stickers) would be good

Ah thanks. Not sure how I missed those. Sometimes seeing the torso/legs separated from the head and armour makes me see it in a new context and how it could be used for something else where as altogether I just see the character as another Garmadon

Nice Haul! Slide 3, Middle Row, First on the left - Do you have numbers for torso/legs or know what minifig they come from (assuming Ninjago)

Series 25 CMF Goathearder figure from a month ago and the new Medieval Town Square set just announced for March

I think it was DuckBricks in a video about him visiting the lego factory said as a rule of thumb lego moulds are kept for 5 years from the last use before being destroyed though special cases can be made to extend this but only few parts are granted this but just because a mould is destroyed it doesn't mean a near exact copy cannot be reproduced for example the goats return recently.

On the Go Medieval section they have a picture of the Blacksmith even though its retired and not listed within that section at all. I want to hope that means they plan to build out the Medieval dedicated sets more in future

Are there any concrete rumours about a castle GWP this year so far?

At least we know why theres no cow in the set or why the boy doesn't have parents! They are out of town buying a cow because they need more milk. Shame we couldnt get the version of the set which is a week later in the timeline where they returned with the cow

Good point. Do we know if MTS wont be exclusive? (Guess its country specific anyway). PAB isnt guaranteed though but hope Lego will put it on their irregardless as surely they know castle fans want more than one and wont buy multiple MTS sets.
