A friend of mine told me he would get the tahu threshold, but he would kill a man for a Lewa. I think there's a big market if they did the other Toa with matoran companions. Jala could be the GWP for them!

WHAT? NOOOOOO! I almost exclusively buy licensed. If only I hadn't bought the galaxy explorer... what's the threshold? Maybe I'll get a second one. Tahu is too important to miss.

It's leaked. Looks like a very nice display piece, and something I'll definately be picking up! Tahu and Takua both look excellent (Ironically, this is our first Takua mctoran and this Tahu has knee and elbow articulation, as well as waist articulation-yet no foot articulation.). I almost wish I was planning on buying more lego so I could get a second copy to keep boxed.

Sorry, the word intriguing is now a morbius reference due to it's inclusion in the hit 2022 film "morbius", so your comment, whether intended or not, is now a morbius joke. 1.5 years out seems like it'd be enough development time for anything below a massive D2C. August seems reasonable. I'm 99.9% sure the helmets are a hit among adults who aren't generally lego fans. My evidence is simply that they appear to sell well yet most people here don't like them.

Maybe he did say this specifically super recently, but in the interview yesterday all of his stuff was responding to what the interviewer asked and saying he thinks it can still work being less gory, and that he'd be ok with it. He never actually stated that the show would be for a younger audience. Many leakers have claimed it will indeed be TV-MA still, and if you read his full interview, he says he thinks Daredevil can keep the tone and maturity without that rating. I doubt lego would suddenly become ok with it if it's TV-14 if it's still spiritually the same DD. These are the guys who won't put comic deadpool in a set despite the fact because the movies about him are R rated.

In what capacity? Do you mean a kingdom come version of the JLU universe is rumored? Certainly you don't mean Gunn's universe, right? I thought I read that he wanted a young superman for it hence why they let Cavill go.

He also had a weakness to wood, which is somehow slightly less ridiculous than a weakness to the color yellow. At least it's the same general material. Nah, "We aren't getting X set/sets because lego and/or disney has a secret motive not to produce them" is a rabid lego fan staple. The clones were the big one for awhile. Under certain circumstances it could be understandable (IIRC it did turn out to be true that disney/marvel studios didn't want any merch of FF or X-men out while they didn't have the license), but the clone one and this "We aren't getting DC sets because marvel is illegally paying lego not to produce them" make less sense than the DCEU timeline. I heard $44.99 too, which... that better be a pretty damn big batmobile or have a significantly large side build. $45 for something the size of the 2019 batmobile or Pattmobile would be absurd.

Excellent starscream. I'm no transformer builder, but I do love to see those MOCS. I am getting a little back into the franchise (watching the "War for Cybertron" netflix series, which is leagues ahead of the transformers cartoons and films I had as a kid), so I might try my hand at Prime, Bumblebee, and some of the other main characters, and I'll post them here if I do.

And now that we have a billion flesh tones, we finally have the correct tan application. We just need the skin tone Mercy has in that pic to represent people like me: Poles who need to touch grass. Intriguing. I think I'm gonna finally pull the trigger on the compound. The price (not the value, it's good value, I just haven't bought a more expensive marvel set in awhile) put me off for a bit, but it's close to retirement and the Endgame climax with Thanos and the Big Three is too good to pass up.

Lemme think... it depends when we start counting it. Before it was deathly pale, Batman and Cap had medium nougat skin, in which case we could start it in 2012, making it over a decade. Stop or I'll revoke your automorbile license.... in an Ashnflash. I can't think of any other puns, the only other ones I remember are Jangbricks and BrickBrosUK, and BrickBrosUK disappeared years ago. EDIT: And I refuse to make a MandR pun.

Given that DC is essentially playing a not particularly close second to marvel right now, I think you're right. But in general, lego's been making some really weird decisions sale-wise. While we do have good examples of them listening to profits (Pumping out clone-heavy set after clone-heavy set with them being almost unattainable for the first few months each time due to demand), we also have some really odd choices where they've made sets that seem really obvious to sell poorly (queer eye, BP bust, camp nou). I won't rattle off my full list of poorly selling sets the past few years, because some aren't lego's fault (eternals), and some lie with the designers rather than the concept of a set (UCS Hulkbuster), but it does seem like whoever's choosing what they do and don't make may have hit the grape juice a little hard. Actually, you know what? We've also been getting drastically fewer 1hy system sets for star wars. And while we still have roughly the same amount of SW sets in general overall with the helmets and dioramas, it's clearly a different audience in lego's eyes. So why are we lowering the amount of system sets? Surely the cost of designing them is still offset by their sales? Are you telling me if they released, like, an anakin's starfighter microfighter or red five microfighter, it wouldn't sell? TLDR of my rant: I think you're right in this case, but gah lego's made weird decisions lately. Aside from @BrickBob Studpants's accurate assessment that this is absolutely insane, it also would DEFINATELY be illegal. There might be some wiggle room if disney said they'd do a bigger deal with lego if it decided to not carry the DC license at all, but paying them to not make many sets for a company they're already in a deal with would be 100% illegal, and something DC would definately have sussed out by now. The simple fact is that right now, batman is the only DC that sells for the general audience of kids, and even then it doesn't do as well as MCU sets.

Lego claims the greys are the only plastics strong enough, but, like, c'mon. I'm not doubting that there's color/strength variation (Old dark red and reddish brown, BIONICLE LIME JOINTS), but I refuse to believe that the greys are the only colors they can possibly do it for, or that they couldn't solve the issue if they did some R and D. And c'mon, you can't even give us the other color of grey? There's been like, one set that uses the sockets in DBG, and other than that it's always sockets in LBG, balls in DBG. And it's not like the different colors for different axle lengths, where it definately could get confusing, a 6 year old should be able to tell a ball joint from a socket. They are the opposite shape. curse spell That is good news. What they did to the mechs this year is a tragedy. It's like they went "Hey, we have a moderately successful gimmick line. Can't let that happen." Same way that we get, like, one microfighter a year now, but at least the one we do get is fine.

I would make a joke here about the series, but it at least made people remember LOTR is a thing that exists. Focusing on the LOTR films, as well as how at least half the IJ wave is based on the pre-existing films, seems to be sort of a safer bet. Even if the show/movie is bad, people'll remember the original ones.

You're morbdang right My Name is Micheal Hartwell Morbius. I live at 1971 sangre rojo lane, albequerque, New Morbxico. To any avengers, this is not an admission of guilt. I speak only to my fellow morbheads now...

Between that set, the vidyo failure, and all the other poorly selling sets, lego really needs to take another look at what they're producing. I can forgive eternals because marvel had no way of knowing the film would be as bad as it was and banking on the MCU making money typically works, but stuff like the recent marvel D2Cs, Camp Nou, and-did people say the avatar sets were doing poorly? I think I heard that, though I don't know for sure- feel like they could have thought them through more. Stuff like avatar or the general concept of vidiyo is alright, even if they should have tested the waters before releasing so many sets, but stuff like queer eye and the BP bust are just... what were they thinking? Whoever's deciding what sets are made right now needs to either be replaced or severely change course. Anyway, all that to say, lego's definately been throwing random themes and sets at the wall lately, so LOTR system sets aren't that unreasonable to assume. It'd be nice if they were far enough along in the pipeline that they get produced before lego (hopefully) course corrects and becomes more cautious about how many sets/themes they're making, but if not, we'll just have to hope they do well enough to secure a spot. I'm still a fan of my idea that LOTR and IJ are both iconic but not quite enough to go evergreen (IJ doesn't have as much material from the movies, LOTR isn't quite as popular), and they should rotate every other year.

It really is leagues better than most of the vehicles. I think the black and red helps as it's a better color scheme, and overall it just looks like a speed champions car with guns and the big crystal coming out the back. It's also 100% supposed to be Morbius's car. @Ashnflash has a video that shows the hood is the same pattern as morbius's torso (obviously if you remove the printed spider part), and the back stores cans of spray paint that are conveniently the same size as morbius's flasks. Jeez, at that price I might get the boat just for the black panels! EDIT: And M'baku of course. Glory to Hanuman

It's closest to the TL-50, but I think it's just there to differentiate the heavies' guns from the standard troopers. I'll be replacing them with brick-built ones. On the bright side, these are perfect for Shoretroopers, since they gave us the wrong colors back in the rogue one wave.

I generally agree about the first part, but it really depends on the clothing. Stormtrooper armor or Jedi Robes are examples of torsos that honestly should all be gender neutral, but you can generally tell apart the male or female imperial officer without seeing their face. As for the second part, what? Really? 3 figs + a gonk isn't perfect for a $65 set, but compared to all the other TIES we've had recently the value on this one is incredible!

Is it possible to be a fan of just the suit design and nothing else about that show?

Realistically, the only one I'm hoping for is Scarlet Spider, but spider man unlimited is in the trailer.... now that said so is literally everyone else, but c'mon, even if the show was rough that's gotta be one of the most unique spidey designs to get a mainline show.

They have, somehow, still not been officially revealed, despite having been leaked for weeks now and the fact that we have physical reviews of the sets. It's mind-boggling.

Because they all would have been held back over a year. Honestly, between the amount of stuff from the first film in this trailer and some of the audio/visual stuff, I think it's gonna get delayed AGAIN. No rush on them, better a good film later than a bad one now, but keeping that June date in the new trailer seems... bold. Not to mention most of the spider-men we've seen highlighted in the merch haven't been focused on in the trailer. Scarlet Spider, Cyborg Spider-Woman, Spider-Punk, even Spot haven't had a single shot where they're in focus. (I'm sure punk or scarlet was in the background of a shot at some point, but Bombastic Bag Man had more focus than them if so.)

On the other hand, they didn't make new molds for Vulture and used the existing one for Mysterio, whereas 616 electro (At least, goofy mask electro) and lizard would need new molds, and not ones from their NWH designs.

212th battle pack!?!?! (Joking, I know what you mean.) I doubt it, especially that it would take this long to adjust in the HD pics, but I suppose it could be a factor. Edit: Ah, Jeez. Looks like MandR is backing another clone campaign, this one to "fix our clones". Seems like they're "demanding" waistcapes (understandable, even if I don't agree with the phrasing or method), that the only clones to have the new helmet mold with holes be ones that use the visor and antenna (I actively dislike this even as a concept, it makes customization harder and causes them to simultaneously make two different clone helmet molds for the same helmet, which seems like a bad call), and... for them to fix printing on the 212th clones in the AT-TE? Is that an issue? I don't think I've heard a single person complain about it up to this point. Anyway, TLDR is another whiny campaign. Lego shouldn't have encouraged them with the first one.

I have no clue why they haven't done it yet, it's crazy! What are they waiting for? If it wasn't for the fact that the leaks were of physical copies obtained, I would question if these were even releasing Jan 1st still, because that's only a few weeks away. I don't think system sets usually get revealed this late in the game.
