Young-me would be just as uninterested as current-me.

Overall this wave is pretty boring. I'll Bricklink the figures and stickers I like (finally a Madam Pomfrey figure!) and will continue praying that the summer wave isn't as awful as this year was.

Continuation of the 2021 Hogwarts sets.

76396 - Moments Divination - $30 - 297 pieces - Trelawney, Harry, Patil twin 76397 - Moments Defense against the Dark Arts - $30 - 257 pieces - Moody, Neville, Hermione 76398 - Hospital Wing - $40 - 510 pieces - Madam Pomfrey, Harry, Ron, Hermione 76399 - Buildable Trunk - $50 - 603 pieces

You sure about that?

This is a small winter wave, not a full blown summer wave.

Some exciting news for you guys: info from Promobricks in ~4 hours

I personally think it's quite likely. LEGO would be stupid not to take advantage of the hype surrounding the return of the Legacy trio.

Nope, 2022.

I ordered a complete set of 12 from A2Toys.

Winter 2021 is basically the whole period of late 2021/early 2022.

And to add more salt to the wound LEGO also keeps saying they care about representation. They can say they care all they want but it's certainly not particularly evident from the products they're selling

Pretty easy for me: - The bad mix of tan, dark tan and white in the skeleton. - The awful use and placement of black parts. - The uninteresting minifigures. - The price.

I guess if you love the D2C but don't care about the golden figures they're an easy way to recoup some of the cost

I sure hope so, there's so much stuff they could do with figures in particular. Without spoilers: - Improved heads for all the characters, save Death Dealer, they did in the 2 sets we got (they did every single one of the actors/actresses so dirty) - Updated Wenwu, his torso and legs look great but sadly they're not that accurate - Wenwu's white robes - Xialing's black robes - Ying Li - Ying Nan - Ten Rings footsoldiers And with a small spoiler (even though Marvel themselves revealed it before the film even came out):

Welp I guess it's not illegal anymore

I'm personally not at all disappointed with the Battle at the Ancient Village set, it's got a great build and includes desirable variants of some of the most important characters. The Escape from the Ten Rings set on the other hand is definitely a disappointment, if one were to Bricklink Katy and Razorfist (which I'm planning on doing) you're really not missing out on anything. It would be really cool if we could get an additional set based on Ta-Lo with a temple, a brickbuilt Guardian Lion (not a spoiler as we saw them in the trailers) and some of the missing characters and variants. A small battlepack-like set with some Ten Rings footsoldiers would also be really cool.

For the Dutchies here: HetDeenseSteentje.nl has the Eternals sets up for preorder with some truly amazing discounts!

Eternals sets have been added to S@H. The Dutch price for the Domo set is ridiculous.

Pull off a hand and replace it with the Gauntlet? It's exactly the same as it's been for like a decade.

Pretty much 99/100 fans get really pissed off whenever a new SDCC set or figure is revealed, just goes to show how out of touch LEGO is with their fanbases.

It could happen but I wouldn't count on it.

This is the first time they've done 6-packs so nobody knows wether they're random or 6 different characters, I assume it's the former though.

Got the full set of figs and boy do I love them. That Wanda is just something else...

Early 2022 probably.
