But the set with Kit Fisto was a lot larger and came with the hyperdrive ring, can't really compare the 2

One of the new Star Wars sets (wether it's the Death Star Duel or the I-TS Transport is unknown) is a limited set. If Harry Potter had one it should be there as well but it isn't.

Ininitial reports and rumors were all saying 75978 was the D2C. Then Kingnono came along and claimed 75978 was a different set, if it actually was it would've shown up in the new retail catalogue. But it doesn't so the extra set doesn't exist and 75978 must be the D2C as reported by all the other sources. We already knew this from other sources before Kingnono even started talking about the CMF. The release for normal retailers is August 7th

It's yet another example of LEGO not really knowing what angle of a set they should use in promotional material

Seeing all this LotR talk is starting my desire for a revival all over again Don't count on it, if there was more coming we would've heard something about it by now

Maybe it wasn't a tease, maybe they wanted to show us something we could get but are never going to get just to tease us

There are definetely a lot of possibilities but that applies to a lot of movies (even non Star Wars, besides from 2 sets LEGO hasn't touched the original Jurassic Park trilogy for example). It's just a matter of time I suppose, they'll run out of stuff to do eventually.

The Knights of Ren's ship is called the Night Buzzard, the Razor Crest is the ship owned by The Mandalorian / Din Djarrin

I really hope not, I'm not willing to pay more than 70 for this (looks similar in size to the Night Buzzard)

SolidBrixStudios made a video on that but I honestly don't know why he jumped to that conclusion. These boxart corner portraits rarely mean anything, it's not like we only got OT sets during the usage of the Vader boxart We'll just have to wait and see

He said there was a D2C and another unknown set which is also false. The setnumber he gave to the unknown set is the D2C (pretty much confirmed by the new catalogue)

There are tons more characters from the books and comics they could do, Krrsantan and Ren among them. But if I were to list every single one of the ones I'd like to see in LEGO form I'd be here all day

I definetely hope so too, there are a fair number of them I'd like to get. Just some of the ones I'd like to see: Doctor Aphra, 0-0-0 and BT-1 (these 2 are unlikely), Tolvan, Shara Bey, Kes Dameron, Sana Staross, Sergeant Kreel, Valance, Cardinal and Sloane and the one and only Mister Bones

It's definetely overpriced but not that much. The 'perfect' PPR sits around 10 cents so that would already put the set around 40 euro, add 2 dinosaurs and a license to that and I could easily see this being 50 euro. 60 is high but I wouldn't say it's 'far too high'

This wave is a bit of a mixed bag to be honest, here are my thoughts on each of the new sets: Soulless One - It's a pretty good looking ship but the minifigures aren't anything to write home about. Considering the price and the overall ''meh-ness'' this is going to be an easy skip. Night Buzzard - This is a really good set. I was afraid they weren't going to be able to pull it off at such a 'low' pricepoint but they did it. Kardo and Kuruk look amazing, getting another Jedi Rey is really nice too and the overall price is pretty fair. The only gripe I have with this set is the Knights themselves as I do feel like the fact the other 4 Knights are spread across 3 really expensive sets pulls this set down. This will most likely be a buy for me regardless as I think it'll look good next to my Falcon. AAT - My oh my.... this is horrible. Such an awfull, awfull design..... I just can't say anything good about this build. As for the figures: the droids are whatever, Ahsoka is amazing but not enough to justify buying the set and the 332nd trooper doesn't really make sense to me, why give us just a single trooper? Maybe there's a battlepack in development Overall this set is going to be a pass for me, though I do want that Ahsoka figure. Anakin's ETA-2 - Yeah this is just whatever, nice for the kids. Death Star Duel - I missed out on the 2015 version and I do honestly like this set but I really feel like this is going to be extremely overpriced. But why? Why does this exist? It's almost a one to one remake of the original version! If they'd just given us the Sith Throne and Palps with his GLADOS arm alongside Ben and Rey (instead of Vader and Luke) and 2 Sovereign Protectors (instead of the royal guards) this set would be much better. Might pick this one up but that would be on a significant discount. I-TS Transport - I honestly really like this set, especially as we're getting a figure of Vi Moradi Wether or not I buy this set depends on it's price and whatever there's left of my LEGO budget at the end of the year but if I do end up skipping this set I'll be sure to Bricklink Vi. VI MORADI EVERYONE, WE HAVE VI MORADI HERE

It is, should be 50 at most (even counting both the dinosaurs and licensing)

We got the Diagon Alley GWP months after the Hogwarts D2C released. IF a 2020 GWP exists it might not come out alongside any of the upcomming sets

It's a decent set. The builds are quite good, nice to get 4 more spots for future armors. The minfigure selection however is really bad, the Mark 2 is the only good figure. Tony is a useless mismatch of existing parts and I'm tired of this IM suit and the AIM agents. I'll definetely pick this up but not for full price. Only in the US, for the rest of the world it's august I personally would as I don't like getting any of the Marvel Comics designs. The AIM agents are tiresome but at least their parts are usefull in other themes. It's not new, it's a decent fit but it's a reuse from JW's Owen Grady

Still waiting for my copy but this does definetely look better. Why does he have a tree on his back though?

I think most people ordering replacement parts have added something to their cart they didn't actually needed replacements for I may or may not have ordered 2 more torso's for additional crewmembers while I was at it

Yeah a lot of companies could learn something from LEGO's customer service. A few months after I purchased the Silent Mary set one of those heavy anti-insect screen things got loose and fell out of my window knocking the Mary off my desk. Two pieces were badly broken, completely my own fault tbh but LEGO still replaced them

That's great news, too bad it's still not open here BaM pieces aren't available through B&P afaik

I know and I'm not using him as a source but as he puts the most commonly rumored info on his website I mentioned it here

His website was just one example of a few sources confirming that pricetag. I'm sure of the pricetag being real

We're not 100% certain ofc but it's the only info/rumor we have when it comes to the Buzzards minifigure selection.
