  1. Do we have a rumored release month for the flash movie? For that matter, do we have a rumored release year for Ezra Miller? (I don't even think he's in prison even though he totally should be, but I thought the joke was good)
  2. I hope we will, but the thing you qouted is evidence in the opposite case if anything.
  3. I've mentioned it earlier, but I've got, like, Golumm and Dwalin's torso or something as the extent of my collection. So ironically, I hope it comes with the full fellowship. Though, to be fair, there are like 20-25 figure slots going off other sets of this size. I could see: Frodo Baggins, Samwise Gangee, Merridock Buck, Peregrin Took, Gimli, Legolas, Aragorn, Boromir, Gandalf, Arwen, Elrond, Bilbo, Gloin, and the rest of the council honestly all being included.
  4. Look, honestly I'll take anything system. The prices for this stuff in the US is insane. (Weathertop with figs is like $150, Moria is like $250, Boromir alone is $25, etc)
  5. ...does it still count, though? It's very clearly a stormtrooper helmet. They just re-used the mold. It's like saying that Wrecker has his own unique helmet mold despite it being made for iron man.
  6. Both excellent sets, I'm very happy with it. Legends gang rise up It is pretty annoying. It's one new mold, and it's been quite awhile. Could we please get a new one? I think every main trooper variant from the first two trilogies has a new, better helmet by now (Snowtrooper, Scout Trooper, Stormtrooper, both clone phases (including a third mold for the p2 trooper)).
  7. We live in a society where a lack of DC sets leads to an internet flame war about an entirely separate topic. To offer my completely unsolicited and uniformed opinion? Not a fan of the VP. Don't know too much about him, but I remember hearing him talk about pushing for the queer eye set, which... oops. It's no "All yellow clones are the same" but still kinda a funny article in retrospect, it'd be like someone bragging about producing Transformers: The Last Knight. (Which, all the Bayverse transformers films are pretty bad, but at least the first 4 were profitable.) Anyway, for a semblance of on-topic, how about those keychains, huh? Real primo sets. Great stuff.
  8. ....aight, so ignoring that last bit.... no. Minifigs are not dead. Stop telling people this. Multiple reliable leakers have said they're not dead. And really? Your evidence is that it's been 17 months? We've routinely gone a year or so between bigfigs. another half year or even a full two years isn't that weird.
  9. This stuff doesn't even work all that well. People literally own star wars sets they haven't revealed yet. We have comprehensive reviews of these sets and we've had in-hand images for like a week, and they still won't reveal the sets!
  10. Unfortunately not. We did know about the previous ones for awhile by this time last year, and leakers have suggested there won't be any this HY at least.
  11. I've purposely stopped paying attention to the DC leaks and rumors right now. I'm going to wait until they make a new slate. The only things I want them to keep are Battinson and Joker as elseworlds. As much as I love the Snyder cut and would like to see the sequels as an animated film or something, I think the right move right now is to "clear the board. Start again. Everything will change. And some of those changes may be... megablocks, and we may make the same mistakes again. It won't be perfect, but it'll be a long sight better than what we got now." I liked the Snyder trinity, but for a truly new universe, we need new actors. It needs to be clear to the GA that this is something new. My current project is nearing completion and I'll be moving to do a Batman/DC Wave 2. (I'm also thinking of calling these "world's finest" or something with having another hero in every set) This is my current list, but suggestions are welcome. Remember that I'm trying to make it as something lego could realistically do (aside from, you know, them having sets at all). In spoiler for space only. If anyone has different figure counts, pricing, etc for the existing sets, or ideas for a sixth set at any price point, let me know.
  12. I was backing off from this debate but I'll stop back in to say I 100% agree with what you said here. (especially that anyone complaining about the Mouth of Sauron isn't worth listening too. That design is awesome.)
  13. I'm sure there has been a female dock ock somewhere at some point in the comics, but it's the show's design.
  14. I love this franchise, man. Started with "People are telling me I look like the guy, and the droid looks cool" and now I've played it on the hardest difficulty multiple times, have done almost everything there is to do in the game, etc. The new game looks absolutely incredible! I love what I presume is the opening of Cal and BD crashing the mantis with that sweeping shot as they look out onto a new world. All the new story beats and gameplay additions look excellent, and you can definately tell how this game will be 130gb. Are the only planets confirmed this main one and Coruscant? I don't think we saw anything that was definitively another planet in the gameplay. And they BETTER make sets. Lots of large creatures, interesting terrain, and the same excellent ships from the first game. That's what we said about P2 cody for 17 years! But I think they will make him if they can slot him into any BB sets at all, especially since he no longer requires a new mold. I....uh... I don't think you understood. I was saying it's crazy that it's priced so low. It's great, it's just not something lego star wars typically does. I'm happy, I'm just confused. Ah, but you've forgotten, we're celebrating the OTHER clone wars this year! Jokes aside (and a logically inconsistent one at that, we're already celebrating two anniversaries in the January wave alone, no reason they couldn't tack on a third), I think you could be right. Ahsoka's easy to slot into any clone wars era set.
  15. This is insane, the value for $65 is miles ahead what we usually get. There's a bombing feature, it doesn't seem too small, the fuselages are long enough, the figures are solid, etc. There doesn't seem to be a catch, but this set honestly just feels too good to be true. I'm glad vice admiral sloane is actually VA sloane and not a random officer.
  16. This does feel more directly childish than the first wave. Also disappointed to see the only new characters are Sandman and BP, would have loved Wasp or Iron Man. Definately a pass for me, as they were last year. I wonder how well these are doing, as they're <insert that tiresome argument> more than even the standard 4+ sets. I feel like by the time kids are out of duplo they're out of the age range of the cartoon. EDIT: I can't say the word junior ized anymore? I'm referring to actual juniors/4+ sets. This is absurd.
  17. No to mention the crabs like @PRbrickbuilder mentioned, the horizon zero dawn longneck, Gungi, and those colorful troopers that confront the clones. There's a TON of material here. I think there's definately at least one set coming next summer, though I agree that smaller ones would be nice. My only worry is that with 6 main characters (The Batch all in new outfits + crosshair), we won't get some of the other figs like TK troopers or Cody, much less non-major characters like Scorch or Gungi.
  18. Regardless of their strategy going into it, they should have done official reveals the second those images leaked.
  19. Like you say, we've had a ton of new clones the past 3 years. I'm gonna use your comment as an excuse to crunch the numbers. 2020: Airborne, 332nd, 501st, 501st jet 2021: Bad Batch (IDK if they count), CC. I'm counting this as the "off year" where they were waiting to see how well the sets sold 2022: p1 shiny, 187th, 187th airborne, 212th, gunner, Cody. That's, at minimum, 11 new clones over the past 3 years, with 3 more in 1hy of this year alone. I'd say a swamp speeder with Aayla, Bly, and 2 327th fellas is likely to come in the next couple years. Yeah, it's pretty suspicious. It's a weird thing to have as an accident, for it to just exactly be where it should instead of where it actually is. I feel like something has to be off about this set, right? It looks so good for $65. We can see it's got a bombing function, stud shooters, looks great, seems sizable, etc.
  20. It is really nice, the recent battlepacks/accessory packs have all had excellent builds. I'm pretty happy about it. I think the mantis can even be done Sub-$100, I think the MOC I made was something I thought lego would price at $90. It's shape is simple enough that you can fit a 3 seater cockpit and at the very least one of either the couch/mission selection or kitchen. EDIT: Though I suppose $90 in summer 2021 would be like $110 now... Alright, time to explain my theory. The plan is simple. First off, lego knows clones sell. They've seen the demand. And recent sets have clearly leaned into that (AT-TE, tank with non canon legion, our second 501st battle pack in 3 years, etc). A republic gunship seems very likely, especially considering last year's AT-TE. Now the part where we put on the tinfoil hat. When lego celebrated ESB's anniversary, we had a hoth AT-AT released under that branding. All signs point to the AT-TE having originally been a 20th anniversary AOTC set before being "replaced" by a ROTS one for Cody reasons. And now they're celebrating the Clone Wars 03 anniversary. Now obviously I have no solid evidence or leaks or anything, but it seems pretty likely to me that summer 2023 will have a gunship with anniversary branding, and the 501st set is meant to fit with it. Now to get even more crackpot, we could hope that given the clone wars 03 branding instead of the clone wars 08 branding (as it would be the 15th anniversary of that) may suggest it's a clone wars 03 based gunship, or even the legendary muunilist 10 gunship. TLDR: I think there's a very solid chance a gunship is coming, and it could maybe be the muunilist 10 one.
  21. The Bowie. Kang is not in the movie. I'm confident the set will be the bowie. No. As @AndrewCole14 says it's been in a Harry Potter set from a few years back. No way they planned that out, and I also highly doubt we'd be getting a set based on the flashbacks in the movie anyway, much less new molds of rocket and lylla's flashback variants.
  22. No, it just seems likely, but there are no sources saying it's coming. Yeah, I highly doubted that they'd have made ANOTHER new mold for the clone helmet so soon.
  23. Yeah, that was cool on the hoth pack. I hope it hints at more 03 sets. I almost wonder if the gunship this year will be muunilist Yeah. I really don't like the design, but the important thing is that it's a cheap way to get Boba.
  24. Smart idea. Yeah something's off with that. I wonder if the price is wrong. We had already been told about that a few weeks ago, so whoever it was might not just have deemed it necessary. (I mean either way it's a box decoration.)
