Honestly there isn't a lot they can do with Voldy in future sets. He only has 2 outfits post-GoF and with the green one being exclusive to the CMF it makes a lot of sense for every post-GoF Voldemort figure we get to use the black skirt and torso from the graveyard set. Possibly with a new faceprint once in a while to mix things up

Suited Voldemort is way too obscure and insignificant. On top of that he is extremely (and when I see extremely I really mean extremely) easy to make with existing parts. And everything we're getting is based off one (or more) of the movies, so we're never going to get a house elf that isn't Dobby or Kreacher. On the subject of house elfs I do really hope Kreacher is in the CMF, possibly with the locket as his accesory

Just like the leak did I described the figure as ''Digiverse Zane (Rebooted)''. Rebooted as in the season, Digiverse as in the digital world that only appears in Rebooted...... which means it's this figure: It is indeed Rebooted Zane, though a part of me can sort of understand why people are confusing the Digiverse for Prime Empire

That most likely has to do with the licensing fee. I am in no way an insider but it wouldn't surprise me if Marvel, HP and JW have similair budgets but most of Marvel's budget goes to Disney for that fee. But as opposed to Star Wars, where they basically put that fee in the price of sets themselves, they just lower the final budget

They have indeed become greedier (at least in my opinion) but the main reason for not showing sets at TF is because Lepin and other knockoff companies kept stealing the sets shown and releasing them before lego was able to release them theirselves. Knockoff companies are really the most laughable people in the world, how can you honestly live with your self knowing every single thing you have achieved is illegally leeched off of other peoples creativity? They're sad people, at least companies like MegaContrux do their own thing

New minifigure pack leaked: Nindroid Drone, Nindroid Warrior, General Cryptor and Digiverse Zane (Rebooted). Build is Cyrus Borg's robot-leg-wheelchair thingy

It's possible but I'm not a fan of the idea, Fred and George shouldn't be in the CMF at all. WWW versions wouldn't work because lego needs to have both of them available if/when they decide to do the actuall WWW shop. Quidditch versions wouldn't work because they have different numbers on their uniforms (and the uniforms from the earlier years are nearly identical to the ones worn by Wood and Harry in the Quidditch set) I heavily dislike the TF's nowadays. Fans of companies like Funko get so much new stuff and we get..... pretty much nothing. Which is especially sad because the TF's were really something to look forward to, but I guess we have those scumbags from Lepin to thank for that

I think overall minifigures need to get more detailed as it's starting to feel like we're paying more money for less quality, at least when it comes to minifigures. Over the last few years misprints are becoming more common, a lot of figures are lacking in detail, a lot of pieces are reused while they're inaccurate and the abysmal light colored printing on dark colored pieces has been an issue for several years without it getting fixed.

I think they're too obscure compared to a lot of other characters we're still missing. Most people (general customers) don't know who those characters are unless you tell them exactly from what scene they come from. Even I, as a HP fan, sometimes forget their names. Getting obscure charactes is nice but I think lego will go for the more recognizable ones I'd definetely like to see more of those robed characters in the CMF, albeit from the other houses. Although it's not as bad as with the previous incarnations of lego harry potter Gryffindor is still over-represented A variant as a book exclusive is always better than a character. Some people don't like paying 20$ for a book they don't want just to get a single minifigure That's pretty much the only theory we've seen that actually makes sense

Has anyone found the Captain Marvel polybag yet?

I'd like it but it's not high on my priority list, with everthing we're still missing I'm completely fine with the current version

It was already mentioned

Last year we got some very accurate info from LTF from TheRandomBlocker but he left the forum months ago so I doubt we'll see/hear anything HP related from LTF. Official announcements should come somewhere in May so the leaks can technically start happening any day now. The CMF is coming in either august or september (most likely august)

Normally I'd say we might see Red Guardian in a polybag but considering he needs a recolor of Cap's helmet I don't really see that happening (they could print the mask/helmet on the head itself but that would look pretty weird)

I agree, I don't want to have to buy a 450 euro set just to complete my minifigure scale Hogwarts If a future D2C set is based on Hogwarts I'd like it to be nanoscale (so you don't have to pay such a big price just to complete your minifig scale castle) but a non-Hogwarts D2C should definetely be minifigure scale First of all, welcome to Eurobricks! Some of your predictions are really good, I'd buy that Thestral set instantly! I don't really see a Durmstrang Ship happening this year and I feel like your 2 Ministry sets would be better if they were combined into just 1 set. In your Forbidden Forest set I'd rather see Grawp as the build, maybe with 1-2 small trees (same style as last years Dementor set). WWW should definetely be larger than a $50 set

Which is exactly why they shouldn't make one

That was just a ''movement'' started by MandRProductions. Part of me really hopes we'll never get a 501st battlepack, just to know lego doesn't acknowledge whining fans (seeing ''we want a 501st pack'' on pretty much every single socialmedia thing lego did drove me nuts)

Just got 8 out of the 12 figures I wanted (got Flash, Supes, WW, Aquaman, Stargirl, Mr Miracle, Joker and Metamorpho - still need Sinestro, Huntress, Batmite and Cyborg). I'm really loving this series and the clear stands are fantastic! I usually order CMF figures from BrickLink because there are no toy stores near me but the BL prices are ridiculous for this series (retail price didn't go up here)

The only reason the Hulk Helicopter set is as expensive as it is is because lego knows people are dying to get Rescue and the Stark Gauntlet. Even with a bigfig it shouldn't be that expensive

Could be, I'm really happy this set uses the old hood. Not a fan of the new one, only works on a very small amount of figures

The Chinook from the new Black Widow set could work as one of the InGen Chinooks from TLW. Just lacks the InGen logo's etc.

Don't forget the CMF's don't just give us new characters but different versions as well. CMF Dumbledore was also just a variant. I agree with Lockhart, Sprout and Pomfrey being more desirable but comparing it to S1 that still leaves 1 teacher. We'll just have to wait and see

The hair used for Sequel Trilogy Leia would probably work very well for Yelena (if it was available in that blond/bright yellow color) These sets were probably designed simultaneously so one designer went with the more creative route and the other didn't, but that's just a guess Taskmaster is supposed to pilot it, but if they put him inside the heli on the box you couldn't see him properly I agree with everyone's complaints on Taskmasters sword and shield. But considering this is what Hasbro is releasing I think it's not really lego's fault but Marvel's:

That's actually a pretty good set. Black Widow and Yelena are both awesome figures, Taskmaster is meh (underdetailed). But what the hell were they thinking with Taskmaster's weapons? Why doesn't he have a proper sword and shield?! At least the combination of the two looks kinda nice. The quad and motorcycle are nothing more than the usual crappy sidebuilds, and the helicopter? It honestly surprised me because I kinda like it. I'm sick of lego helicopters but I'm actually quite interested in this one. I'll definetely be getting this set! Also: whoever designed the boxart deserves a raise, beautifull!

Couch Slughorn would be one of my picks for the CMF
