You see, the advantage is unlike a lot of the other brain-rotted numbers, 6-7 doesn't have a school-inappropriate connotation, so there's nothing stopping you from using it in front of the kids, which is the fastest way to get the kids to stop. Nothing kills a meme for students faster than an instructor using it. I think 2027 will be the most likely- or an Ahsoka S3/HTTE sequel movie, as I doubt the force equivalent of the devil is defeated in a single season, so we'll see her again- but like you say, non-zero that she shows up this year in an ahsoka S2 set. Could be as simple as a minifigure of "the mother" or "Peridea hermit" or something, where it's not even a spoiler because she's not branded as Abeloth. This is also one of the reasons they've been buckshotting so many legions. Partially for collectors I'm sure, but a LOT of parents don't get or like army-building as a concept and don't want to buy their kid multiples of the same set, battle pack branding or not. Flooding the market with clone battle packs fixes that issue- suddenly the kid's christmas list is like 4-8 different sets, but they're all clone battle packs. Yup. He's not any more desirable for kids or obscure than the kaminoans, he just got saddled with a less toyetic movie. The issue, as you say, is the phantom menace as a whole. Even with your suggestions, we just had an MTT, so it'll likely be awhile before the next (11 years between the last two, 7 before that...) and I think there's a good chance we don't see another gungan sub for QUITE awhile.

You and @psqidexslizer are both laughably wrong. I don't know how either of you could think this figure was anything besides the obvious- Firefly showing up for his court date, implying the next D2C is a gotham courthouse. Lego thought the jumpsuits were too generous, so this time all the villains will be in that exact suit piece with plain black legs. (This was going to be a professor X joke and I was going to say the next D2C would be DC branded but literally just an X-men set, but I realized halfway through that it's LITERALLY a professor X minifigure.)

Ironically it's different in that after the newer leaked lists lowered the price, it's $10 cheaper than the $70 ARC-170. Once more making it difficult to believe it includes even a "smart" minifigure. Unfortunately I think the boss is less likely. We only got Lama and Taun because they got dropped into a Jedi Starfighter and Slave One respectively, both popular combat spacecraft owned by major characters. There's just nothing you can put Nass in that's on that level. TPM as a whole seriously suffers from how the movie is set up- the lack of a "cool" galactic hero faction (Respectfully kids are not out here army building the naboo security or gungan army) really hurts the set potential, as does the fact that there's only two playscale-set-makeable droid vehicles involved that show up in the clone wars. I think sets in general are expected to do better if they have appeal outside recreating the specific scene- a TIE fighter or AT-TE can be used for plausible storytelling play anywhere in their respective eras, but there aren't as many play scenarios Anakin's Podracer or a Naboo Royal Starfighter would fit into. I think this is also one of the reasons (but not the only one) lego prefers vehicles to location-locked playsets- Yoda's hut is great but there's only so many scenarios you can realistically play out there. A similar thing holds true for noncombat vehicles- Anakin's Podracer doesn't fit into as many star wars play patterns. I know technically speaking with enough creativity any vehicle fits anywhere in the timeline, but I know when I was a kid I liked to imagine when I played that my stories took place during the clone wars, or the galactic civil war, or after ROTJ. I think most kids play that way, too- at least most kids I personally know have their collections split between "clones and droids" and "rebels and stormtroopers". I may be Swordy-ing a situation that doesn't actually require this level of analysis, and I'm sure being sword'ied about what I mean about set archtypes that sell in terms of lore applications would be helpful, but I think my general point that TPM doesn't have much bestselling set material and Boss Nass suffering from that gets across well enough. Far be it from me to lecture someone on excessive negativity about the state of lego star wars, but in this case, are you sure your personal negativity isn't impacting how you think they sell? I've talked about this before as something that won't do well long-term regardless of the specific design, I'm confident that the clone frenzy is a bubble that's going to pop if lego keeps flooding the market with more, but it's undeniable that there's some significant demand. Clearly at the very least, lego BELIEVES they're selling well- if they really thought switching back to the 2014 style printing for future sets would bring sales up by a statistically significant amount, they would, it's not like it would cost more money for them to do so.

Putting aside that you'd at least want a different build for the backpack, the tubing would be nice to see as well. A new mold with the tube running along the side of the helmet or something would be unlikely, but even just throwing print for a loop of tubing onto the upper torso would be something. I'm not saying it's some travesty lego hasn't done them, but they're something I'd like to see. Or the more unique Legends Spacetrooper with a new armor/head mold and another new mold for a specialzed arm with the elbow cannon, miniature proton torpedo launcher, or any of the other weapons. (Seriously, wookiepedia refers to these guys as "the equivalent of a light tank") That might be a bit hasty, we don't even know what most of the march the sets are. What if that 215 piece $40 set is a 67th legion battle pack? What if the 666 piece set includes Abeloth or new Devaronians? I still think the Advanced doesn't have a smart brick. 473 pieces for $60 is just too suspiciously good value for SW in 2025 to have much integration beyond some stickers or maybe a figure. I mean again, we don't even need to speculate much. With how overpriced some of these sets are, the fact that they're selling and lego continues to believe it's viable to produce more of them implies there aren't mostly disliked, or that there's a large swath of the market that claims to hate and complain about them and yet is buying up all the sets. Gotta know who this is.

I don't know what data you're seeing, but I can assure you I've been following this and the price of the tank set, and the troopers, is more now than it used to be. Bricklink generally only shows data for the last six months, but from the bit of earlier data it provides you can see that the average price for both new AND used is higher than in the dataset from 2023/24. (Aside from New in January 2023, which is an outlier due to only having a single sale recorded in the entire month) Also, if you're putting helmet holes as the cutoff, there's literally no data you can realistically draw from? There's barely any sets with helmet-holed clones that have officially retired, and the few that have still have plenty of copies on shelves at walmarts and targets. Of course the price hasn't gone up when you can go to your local outlet and buy the set they came in at MSRP.

There are a few reasons I think it's unlikely. One is that we're getting a small spider-man vs sandman set this january, so two anytime soon seems unlikely. Another is that lego is weirdly against symbiote spider-man despite for sure knowing how popular it would be. A third is, as I go into later in this comment, the construction site making a better overall set for kids. As for Franco, I don't know. He certainly has had some controversy about him, but given the New Goblin has a covered face I think lego could do it. We don't have a ton of precedent- we know Ezra Miller was cut from the Flash set (although rather than allegations and gross-but-technically-legal texts, he was actively out there committing a number of crimes on video, and we also don't know that his actions were why the set dropped Flash instead of lego's overall move away from anyone not named batman), but on that same token Horatio Sanz's Mythrol appeared in a set long after allegations were made against him. Johnny Depp's Jack Sparrow and Grindelwald also have, and I believe Grindelwald and the 2017 sparrow were after the allegations were out but before they were proven false. At the end of the day, given the covered face, precedent, etc, I think whatever you personally think, it seems that lego could make a New Goblin figure for a construction site set. It's not like they'd be paying Franco for using the suit and mask design. Yup. I mean, I guess nobody's technically getting this one, but by that same hand (pun intended) given there's no exclusive parts, we all COULD get it- which, as you say, is the point. The LOTR theme is also solely based on massive Icons sets at the moment, and putting aside that LOTR itself lends itself better to modulars (at least until we get Minas Tirith, Helm's deep, and maybe Moria), it's entirely focused on adult collectors who primarily dislike the hobbit. The system marvel sets are at least partially aimed at kids, and 4 heroes/villains in a set with plenty of viable play features is better than two in a set with, what, a play feature to flush sandman down a sewer in attempted murder?

Peak. Don't step on the snake, or the tea ends up in the harbor. (My John Walker helmet arrived today, probably totally unrelated to any inclinations regarding dislike of british tea) Yeah, I think unfortunately the Advanced probably gets saddled with a smart figure (But again, such a reasonable $60 for 473 pieces price in 2025 makes me think it won't have anything more than a few mario-style scannable stickers). I'd hope we get multiple named officers, but even tarkin is probably wishful thinking. Tusken would also open up a Bantha side build, and I can't imagine they oversize Cobb's speeder that much so I assume it'll be the third figure. Deputy Slowdraw feels unlikely given his unfortunate demise in that scene and that he'd require new prints whereas the tusken could be re-used. Good comments on how the TMAG sets will convey the thematic degradation of the characters, I should have thought this through more. The Thrawn Trilogy Spacetroopers are epic, though unfortunately the ones in A New Hope are a lot more similar to normal stormtroopers than imperial Halo Spartans that can 1v1 the millennium falcon. Good point, the executor hasn't been retconned yet. Though given all other imperial ships have been concretely redefined as LBG, I'd assume if it ever shows back up it too will be drained of it's blue hue. I think it was an intentional play on some other interesting moves by british tea interests Then why does lego keep making more of them? Why do clone bros keep buying them in comical quantities? I don't even know how you'd be measuring this given that most legions in the new style are still on shelves and the few of these sets that have retired have been replaced by more sets with clones of the same legion, but in the one or two cases where you can start to measure increase post-retirement, I think Bricklink would disagree. The 187th set for instance, which doesn't even feature a canon legion, has definitely gone up. (This one specifically I've been watching because I have a sealed copy of the set I presumably purchased at some point and am trying to find when to sell).

I agree, it's just that summer 2025-January 2026 is too small of a turnaround. A SM3 final battle and likely some sort of Green Goblin set seem likely for 2027, though. An unreleased SDCC exclusive Sandman attack set just leaked. It's a fun giveaway, solid build for Sandman's hand, uses the 2021 standard spider-man, and didn't include any exclusive parts. I wish they'd done something at least slightly interesting with the packaging, but I'd prefer these SDCC exclusives to be re-used parts with no exclusive packaging rather than nice packaging and a figure 99% of us would never be able to get.

Lego always goes all-out on their new movie/show lines. I'm not familiar with One Piece, but this is an excellent set. The QC issues are an important thing to bring up as well. Buying a new set shouldn't feel the same as buying used parts off bricklink. Especially with the prices they now charge, it's going to lead to more and more people just buying secondhand anyway. I've bought significantly less than in previous years- aside from a CMF fig and one of the marvel $15 mechs for the figures, the only purchase I made was two copies of the Skeleton Crew ship on a deal that was too good to pass up, to keep the parts and sell off the figs to get an essentially free 2000ish parts. Plenty of the parts had more-obvious-than-in-past-years mold marks, and one of the Jod figures had a scratched torso. With the prices lego charges, QC needs to be a LOT better than it is.

Tarkin would be the best realistic addition, Spacetroopers would be the hail Mary. Though if we're not getting spacetroopers in the $1000 Death Slice, I think lego just doesn't know they're in the movie. I mean, respectfully, why follow a discussion forum if you don't like it when people discuss half the things about a set? Figure detailing, how much we actually have to pay for the set, and what we want or expect to see all seem like pretty fair topics. Man you've really kept out of that thread, then. I'm not sure what you'd classify as "modular", like obviously it wouldn't be on a 32x32 baseplate and fit on the assembly square street (though I doubt anyone's asking for that), but some form of figure-compatible modular-sized Minas Tirith is coming. If all he did was post "TIE AVENGER DAY ___" or something I'd agree, but clonecommando tends to find a unique way to put it such as lyrics or quotes and/or puts actual discussion in the same comment. The thing is whether or not lego's actually cowtowing to them, the clone bros think they now have lego's ear. Five years ago we never would have had the onslaught of complains we do now about how lego had a single wave with multiple new clone legions but it didn't include the particular vehicular glup shitto four people wanted. I guess you could say the specific Kenner variant with the A-wing fins was never technically part of the legends continuity since the toyline was rejected, but if anything that's MORE obscure. And either way, non-canon content pre-disney acquisition is generally folded into legends. (And Wookiepedia counts it as legends as well). As you say, Malek has never been in canon content. There are other examples too- there were a number of January 2015 legends sets, but you could make the argument those were in development before Canon/Legends became a thing. Legends material is pretty uncommon to get, but the fact that it HAS happened as recently as last year implies there's no mandate against it. Canon has concretely made these LBG, but especially for anniversary sets or ones based explicitly on the OT films, I really wouldn't complain if they threw sand blue in there. Might shut up some of the "LSW is just blobs of grey and black" comments too.

I'm not sure- personally I haven't seen much of it in the wild or on social media, or heard anybody hyped about it or buying it in-person, but that's all anecdotal. That said, no harm in just waiting and seeing- Black Friday's not much more than a month away.

True, but as far as the lego themes go, spider-man and stuff based off the infinity saga avengers still does well with kids regardless of whatever slop gets pumped out on disney+. I don't think DC's had a financially successful, marketable-to-kids movie since... the first wonder woman, maybe? For $30 I maintain it shouldn't have been an either-or. The Speed Champions set proves this. Sure, Marty and Doc don't have leg printing or dual-molding (though Marty has a puffy jacket mold), but come on. The set's $2 cheaper, has another figure, and between 27 and A HUNDRED THIRTY-SEVEN more parts than the more expensive batmobiles. Unless BTTF charges a tiny licensing fee and DC charges more than disney, there's no scenario where this is equivalent value.

The issue is that in those two scenarios (Assuming the rumor of the 212th AT-TE having originally been AOTC based before being swapped to accommodate P2 Cody was correct), they did. Listening to the fans is all well and good- and certainly something the MCU and Lucasfilm are both learning that they need to do- but if you succumb to the 501st social media campaign, you can't be surprised when the people you gave an inch to try and take a mile. Absolutely no rule against old EU stuff, otherwise we wouldn't have gotten Malek last year or the Sandspeeder in 2018 or what have you. They do occasionally throw that sort of thing out there. I'm sure we'll see him by 2027, I could easily see him either being in the UCS Tantive IV or a GWP alongside it (And I'd be shocked if 2027 didn't bring us a new UCS Tantive IV) I always saw it as more orange than red. Like lego's tomato soup color they just added. The Thrawn Trilogy books are probably my favorite star wars content outside the original films. Zahn perfectly understood both the existing characters and how to create engaging new ones that fit the lore like Thrawn, the Noghri, Mara, Karrde, C'Baoth, Pelleaon, Ferrier, etc. Plus they adhered to the old legends "stormtroopers are the shock troops, army troops are used as generic guards and grunts" standard that I prefer to the "stormtroopers are generic talentless goons" one that later legends and canon have used. I think Mara would do just fine- I don't think she'd sell a set as well as Revan or anything but she'd certainly have done better than Young Leia for instance.

AND it's licensed. I'm going to hold on the BvS batmobile until I see a sale. I'd argue most adults were probably turned off by the cartoony batman buildable figure. An actual branded and marketed 18+ batcycle would do about as well as some of these other vehicles, I imagine.

By orders of magnitude, too. The number of people who would be upset about their SDCC figs from a decade or two ago no longer being exclusive could easily be a single-digit number of people. It's not even like the Rex situation where thousands of people had him and their precious value was affected- I guarantee you that they could release near-identical versions of the SDCC spiders and the prices for the comic-con variants would stay the same. I still think that's a comic-based set anyway. I think it's more likely a big sand monster than something like the armored truck fight or a buildable sewer.

85% from the absolute all-time max back in january? Sure. That's how video games work- "games journalists" may have put out a report on it a week ago, but it's been around that mark for some time now. It still has ~100,000 players active at any given time on steam alone, to say nothing of consoles. To put it into perspective, Rivals' minimum on steam is almost four times as high as the 2020 Avengers game's maximum-ever player count. Obviously that game underperformed, but not THAT drastically. Rivals still has plenty of players and interest in the popular culture. Yup. It is odd- I doubt anyone would be all that upset over it nowadays. Maybe back when they came out, but it's been some time since they stopped, and we know it's not an ironclad rule- if a character shows up in the movies, such as TASM2 Spider-Man or Shazam, we get their figure regardless of whether or not they were a comic-con exclusive. Hell, "All-new" Falcon Cap got a book fig a year or two ago that's clearly based on the same design as the old comic-con figure. Yup- it may have been branded as '97 but that was essentially a comic X-men modular.

Legendary Batmobile Collection will be the end of the theme unless the DCU somehow manages to not just get it's act together but start pumping out Infinity War-level successful films. The stage is set. Whether it's summer 2026 or sometime in 2027, the next wave of DC sets will be something like: Legendary Batmobile: Batman Returns with Micheal Keaton Batman Legendary Batmobile: The Tumbler with Christian Bale Batman Legendary Batmobile: 1960's with Adam West Batman I'll add that the next two D2Cs are probably a UCS Pattinson Batmobile and a UCS "The Bat" or batcycle.

"John Walker is chosen as the Fist of Khonshu" would be an incredibly sic What If. Plenty of parallels between him and Marc and how the establishment heroes view them. It's just such an odd decision- like you say, it's an art set blown up to a too-large scale. It should have been $350-400, smaller, and able to be mounted to walls. The concept is too odd for the flagship of the theme. The amount of times they've leaked on the actual date of thanksgiving almost feels like they're doing it intentionally. It's definitely a welcome tradition. Guessing the minifigure lists for the sets we know the identities of: The Mandalorian and Grogu's Speeder Bike: Mando and Grogu, of course TIE Advanced: Vader, Tarkin, TIE Pilot "Smart" X-wing: Luke Skywalker "Smart figure", Darth Vader "Smart Figure", R2-D2 "Smart figure", stormtrooper "Smart figure" Cobb Vanth's Speeder: Cobb Vanth, Cad Bane, and I'm gonna guess we also get a Tusken Raider Grogu's Homestead: The Mandalorian, Grogu And then obviously we know who's in the clone shock trooper mech and SoM battle pack already.

I think the Insomniac or the Red/black would both be excellent new wave standards. He's got a nice red/black suit in the comics right now... except apparently that's a heroic Norman and Peter is stuck eating rats in space... my god, editors, give peter a win, please? Like at this point him finding a quarter on the ground would do it, just give him SOMETHING. Yup. Lego's 100% still holding the exclusivity of those minifigures. Which is funny to me because at this point the design langauge has changed so much since that era that Spider-Woman, symbiote suit, and Phoenix minifigures would all be pretty different nowadays anyway. (Except maybe symbiote spider-man, but even when it came out it was just a different head on Venom's body.) I think this only worked because the X-mansion as a concept has been requested for so long, it was branded as an X-men '97 set but really people just wanted it as an X-men set. Now the same could be true of a CMF, but with the previous CMF, the modular, and sets like the jet, I think it wouldn't do as well as most of the desirable characters have been made availible recently and we know that as you say half the list would be re-does of those characters. My vote's still for Rivals- not only is it very popular and has a ton of iconic designs, but it requires CMF-level detailing to accurately translate those designs.

Using the minifigure packs for commanders is a great idea and would do well. Though don't think I missed that Phasma spelling. Rebels wave: Ezra's speeder bike ($9.99): Ezra Bridger (S1), Sabine Wren (S1, pink helmet) Chimera Star Destroyer Microfighter ($12.99): Grand Admiral Thrawn Grand Inquisitor mech ($14.99): The Grand Inquisitor (Removable helmet, but no armor piece- he's not a bulky character) Lothal Stormtrooper Battle Pack ($19.99): Imperial Speeder Bike and supply crate with 1x Imperial Combat Driver, 1x Stormtrooper Officer (removable black pauldron), and 2x Stormtrooper Phantom l ($37.99): Phantom (fits 1 plot and ~3 inside) with Hera, C1-10P, Zeb, and a Stormtrooper Sargent (removable white pauldron) Imperial Troop Transporter ($54.99): Comes with 1x Imperial Combat Driver, 1x Stormtrooper, Governor Pryce, Agent Kallus, and Lieutenant List TIE Defender vs Phantom ll ($109.99): TIE Defender and Phantom 2 with Vult Skerris, Grand Admiral Thrawn, Rukh, Ezra (S4), Sabine (S4), and C1-10P Twilight of the Apprentice ($129.99): Large Sith Temple build (dollhouse-style half pyramid) with midi-scale TIE advanced. Build includes a "statue garden" on the bottom floor, a middle floor with the holocron room including sliding door functions and a feature to launch ezra across a small pit, and a top floor that can have the capstone lifted up on trans-clear technic beams to open up with the superweapon control at the center. Comes with Darth Vader, Seventh Sister, Eighth Brother, Fifth Brother, Just Maul, Kanan (Jedi temple guard helmet), Ahsoka, and Ezra Bridger. The Ghost ($179.99): Ghost, somewhat larger than both previous versions. includes interior 2-seater cockpit, a small cargo bay, and 4 small rooms (Zeb/Ezra's, Sabine's, Hera's, and Kanan's). Comes with (all in season 4 outfits), Kanan, Hera, C1-10P, Zeb, Sabine, Ezra, Alexsander Kallus, and AP-5. UCS Ghost ($799.99- the Clone Wars venator opened the doors to this IMO): Massive Ghost with full interior. 4-Seater cockpit, central hallway with all four quarters, interior kitchen and gameboard room, gunwells, and a large cargo bay with room for speeder bikes and crates. (Set includes Kanan's speeder bike and two brown melurun crates, as well as a buildable puffer pig). Comes with- using arm and leg printing as needed- the season 4 versions of Hera, Kanan, C1-10P, Zeb, Sabine, and Ezra. Helmet: Graffitied Stormtrooper ($69.99): Rebels-style stormtrooper with swappable portion containing a rebel starbird Diorama: Grand Inquisitor Duel ($69.99): Reactor control and catwalks (two levels of catwalk) with The Grand Inquisitor, Kanan Jarrus, and Ezra Bridger. Midi-scale: Interdictor Cruiser ($59.99): comes with an Imperial Commander minifigure (Brom Titus)

It's treason, then. We better meet up and find some tea. This is really interesting to me, you'd think anything even remotely close to this size would be using technic. This thing would shatter like glass- and the shape lends itself to doing so just as well. The Falcon has a low center of gravity and large footprint, whereas this thing has a much higher center of gravity and smaller footprint. The shape of the falcon makes it harder to nudge off a table and impossible to tip over- this thing will topple if your elbow bumps it from the wrong side. It limits display options. I don't know about Age of Smart Brick (aside from ultron being a smart brick), but if you're adding members to the roster, I wouldn't mind being made to rise and live again as the Khonshu's fiist of vengance Mara's Hand of Judgement, mando knight. That said, especially since you've treasonously given Steve's moniker to a european, it's my patriotic duty to weld that shield together in my garage, save that busload of noncombatants from the "not-terrorists", and join the New (tie) Avengers. We usually get image leaks at or before Thanksgiving (end of november), so minifig lists and better descriptions should be any day now.

Rivals, praise be to the one above all, PLEASE let it be rivals. Lego you would fund enough to offset a thousand black panther busts and a thousand more UCS hulkbusters, if you'd only make one of these. The issue is, with 43 characters now in the roster and only 12 slots for the series, we've got to choose wisely. Here's my guess, based on some of the characters promoted by rivals, the characters we've seen in other merch, and lego's own criteria: 1. Spider-Man with a white power blast and a molded Jeff 2. Venom with a new molded "armor" piece that has stud attachments for four tendrils on the back (Crazy that lego loves giving venoms four tendrils, and yet the only one who consistently has them out hasn't gotten a figure) 3. Luna Snow with a new hair piece, microphone, blue power blast, and a small stage build representing her ult 4. Magneto with a new armor piece and a sword accessory 5. Magik with a new dual-molded hair/those black thingies in her hair piece and a multi-piece sword 6. Iron Fist with a new hair piece and two power blasts in green 7. Squirrel Girl with a new hair/ear piece, a new tail piece, and Tippy-toe and a slingshot as accessories 8. Captain America with a new shoulder armor piece 9. Moon Knight with an Ankh and crescent dart 10. Iron Man with a buildable Maximum Pulse ray. 11. Psylocke with a sword and new butterfly wing piece that attaches at the neck bracket 12. Dagger with Cloak's head/hood/cloak on a 4l trans-clear antenna, as well as a dagger piece in trans-light-blue.

I think it's lego- disney/marvel doesn't seem to have an issue venomizing spider-man, as they did it in the 2017 cartoon and PLENTY of games and comics since the buyout. My guess is this is lego's classic aversion to producing new versions of SDCC figures. Only happens if the figure shows up in the movies (Falcon Cap, Amazing spider-man, shazam). I would say if you like the netflix series, it's actively denigrating the series to watch Born Again. It's like watching someone pee on the show's grave. There's one really solid scene- a conversation between Matt and Frank in the fourth episode- and other than that it's a nonsensical, character-assassinating mess. Personally I just never got that vibe. It would be nice, as would a more detailed Mysterio. Here's my guess for the figure makeup of each set. I'm trying to be realistic, but not pessimistic: Ghost Rider Bike: Ghost Rider, Spider-man (Ideally a new wave standard, but in either case the generic spider-man for the year) Venomized Wolverine with Spider-Man car: Spider-man (Wave standard), wolverized venomarine Sandman: Spider-man, a new Sandman Miles Morales Mech: We've already heard it's miles and 2099, which is good because my guess would have been miles and carnage Spider-Man vs Doc Ock Mech: Spider-man, Doc Ock (the version from the bugle and other sets) Daily Bugle: Spider-Man, 2099, JJJ, Peter Parker, Doctor Octopus, Scorpion, Carnage, and either another spider-hero or another new villain. The sheer number of spider-men make me thing there is either a new wave standard coming, or some of the cheaper sets include either a variant or another character.

Respectfully, this is aslume-level insanity. With the big marvel movies coming out, if anything, they'd want to capitalize on that. If DC's lucky, we'll get a UCS version of one of the three 2026 batmobiles. If we're not, nothing. Brother, we're IN Arkham. We're all insane. Yup. Everything points to Oscorp. They've been systematically planting the necessary figures in sets. The Bugle's retiring. Next year is a big one for spider-man. Oscorp is coming. This is an excellent point as well, Arkham was clearly testing the waters to see if people wanted anything besides batmobiles. 2027 would be the earliest we could see the results of that.

I can't remember the exact circumstances but I'm pretty sure West commits manslaughter at some point. Bale and Batfleck actually have it best IMO. Bale kills one man to save an innocent child and immediately retires (I'm sure he also commits plenty of vehicular manslaughter, but I think every batman's batmobile has a higher "that probably killed someone" count than the man outside the car, as hollywood seems to think car crashes have a 100% survival rate). Batfleck is the only one people ever seem to care about mentioning being a killer, but his movies also hammer home for you that this is a fallen batman who is absolutely not acting in the right here. Battinson's not bad, I can't remember him explicitly killing anyone, so it's all hollywood survivable even if realistically those guys are dead now. Keaton batman has some straight up vicious murders (and also sends the batmobile to shoot up a factory full of workers, if I remember right?) that are played for laughs, and the movie applauds Kilmer for using a mentally ill man's illness against him to trick him into killing himself. Again I'm fairly confident West commits manslaughter at some point, but he's also playing essentially a completely different character than all the others, who has weapons canonically powerful enough to tear open the fabric of reality. He's not really comparable to anyone else. Finally, I think Clooney's the only one who never does anything that would have killed someone, but I feel confident saying that he absolutely was killing people offscreen and the snapshot of his life we got is just one where he happened not to.
