Renny The Spaceman

I feel like they'd probably do Sandman battle set with the black suit over the SM3 final battle. I doubt they're keen on making James Franco so it's just a question of if they'd rather have Venom or Black Suit Spidey. I know they love Venom but I feel they'll be way more cautious with whatever set they do for SM3 because it's unproven with a (unfairly) dodgy reception.

I feel like if they do a Hobbit set in this line of megabluck off massive ones I think it'll just be a big buildable Smaug with Bilbo and MAYBE Thorin. Erebor would be cool

I guess the fear is the last two retiring so quickly means the line is cancelled as LEGO doesn't think it has legs

LotR isn't entirely shackled to desirable characters, most of the Dwarves are megabluck off expensive (especially the ones without personalities for some reason) but it's nowhere near Star Wars, yeah. I mean Rex is in a set you can find easily in stores for 10 quid, the figure itself never sells for more than a quid below that. Mmm, maybe you should have phrased this differently

Yeah, LEGO Star Wars was the patient zero for it but it's spread far and wide now (especially with LotR and Castle) Forums generally don't devolve into that luckily. Like even if you don't find poor CloneCommando (he's been dragged into being the focal point of this discussion) funny he's making jokes from a genuine place and sharing his actual thoughts about topics alongside them. Forums definitely have a very important role in not being more personal, also not being dragged into the enshitification of the internet

I think unused toy designs probably fall into another category or whatever because they were never canon, like I know Filoni uses some Kenner toy designs in his stuff, I think that stuff is treated differently. Legends is probably allowed though because of Malek. Though there might be more restrictions on what LEGO can put in sets and when True, but I still don't think that broadly ruined LEGO discussion on more public sites. It's a branch of the bigger problem being the investor community and the general scam with "Reseller with no personality pesters LEGO to include Glup Shitto Trooper, figure is made, they cry at a tiny line being wrong and tell their audience not to buy it while they scalp massive amounts, they sell them for ridiculous prices later" if it wasn't Clones it'd be something else in the them .

Includes the iconic Dwalin milk

Laketown with a Toilet you can fit dwarves through, plate of testicles for Stephen Fry to eat and an exclusive Alfrid in drag figure

Yeah, the AT-TE swap was fair, it's one of the best recent Star Wars sets in value and Cody was a relatively notable character who had been snubbed, it made sense as a set and clearly did something right as it's still being sold 3 years on. I think the difference is with situations like the 501st Battle Pack and the recent clone onslaught is less "LEGO cowtowing to the annoying Clone Bros" and more LEGO seeing these people are easy to fleece and making sets 700 ridiculously overpriced sets even by LEGO SW standards that crumble quicker than brittle brown and knowing they can get away with it if they put some glup shitto trooper in it. The Sandspeeder was a Kenner thing, not Legends I think. I assumed Malek was the one in Clone Wars for 12 seconds but checked and that's Darth Bane so go figure. Rebel Friend would make sense in that, yeah. I feel GWP would be more likely as UCS sets usually just have two figures and LEGO wants them to be from the base media

I get that's what killed like LEGO Star Wars spaces but more broadly LEGO spaces were turned into this separate of that. It's a mix of YouTube encouraging permeant Elsagate content and the general LEGO investor bubble expanding to swallow the hobby as a whole in 2020. Which I suppose is partly because of that certain sect of LEGO Star Wars fans but ngl, it goes way deeper than just Clone bros, I think generally LEGO Star Wars was the patient zero for all of LEGOs worst traits today. Do we think that she actually could be included one day in like the anniversary style of making random characters they wouldn't otherwise? I wonder if there's a licenser rule against old EU stuff. I feel like if she was gonna happen last year would have been the way it did. Tangentially related, do we think they'll do a Rebel Friend at some point? Since they did the Beach Trooper and Jedi Bob it seems possible. Think he's the last classic LEGO Star Wars gag character left

They need to get on making removable pauldrons, I'm sick of them super gluing them to all figures

@CloneCommando99 if LEGO decided to do a TIE Avenger but it's based off Legends as one of those occasional random sets they do for a non-canon thing, ad it just comes with a TIE Pilot and a couple generic Imperials would you count that as a win?

I imagine the flashback ones the Ninja are descended from. I imagine they're doing the LEGO Star Wars gimmick from last year in making anniversary figures characters they'd never justify making otherwise

The usual places have been rumbling about a Superman based D2C, the Lex figure has leaked

The answer is Turtles, the more taken away the more that spawn

It's funny that there's just a gold version of one of the most generic modern LEGO heads, created for the lead of a Star Wars show no-one remembers now

Bane, Croc? You'll get Absolute Batman (The same as the other Batmen with a different torso) and purple Absolute Batman

Good point, I always forget they have an entire theme based around the villain from It's a Wonderful Life, I shouldn't they do some really creative stuff with it. The Bedford Falls set that transforms into Pottersville is a work of art, the way they engineered that is so ingenious. The fact they've done three pullback wheelchair sets for him might be a little in poor taste but they're great builds

You're right, how could anyone break his illusion, it's all he has to make it through another long year? Oh, very easily it seems

How do we tell him

Wasn't Stupid Deaths guy a pilot in Rogue One? Star Wars is truest to itself when the leads are American but all the extras are the most aggressively British minor actors possible. That's the big issue with the prequels and (to a lesser extent) sequels. The Sequels at the very least had one of the most forgettable Doctor Who companions as a rebel pilot

Oooh, Modern Turtle needs to fight off all his previous forms

This is so funny, this theme has now decided even Joker is too much. Batman will now fight that archfiend gold Batman with his 78 Batmobiles

Who's died in Aslume lore to comeback as a black lantern?

In which case DC Comics will be renamed Batman and Friends comics
