  1. Yea, and we've never had the exterior of a real rebel capital ship, nothing bigger than a blockade runner, or whatever that rebel ship was. The falcon never had a trans-yellow coloured canopy, it always appears trans-black or just black from the exterior
  2. I meant sets later in the year, not meant to coincide with this art print, as i said previously.
  3. I only collect marvel and star wars (Original trilogy), neither of which had anything new around that time, and I didn't have any money to spend on random sets, no matter how good that rodhey was. The fact that this art print is not coming out alongside any sets annoys me more, as it removes one of my reasons for thinking we'd get another endgame wave. Does anyone have any evidence we'll see a second wave for endgame?
  4. Dang. I'm in the US and didn't have the $80 to spend on random lego marvel I already had when the promo hit in march.
  5. HOW? Is it for sale just as a pack somewhere?!?! I don't like the new print, nebula's sword looks like a metal shaving fell onto the poster, the changed hawkeye's hair to make him less accurate but didn't fix thor or remove the QR suits, and the whole style of these prints just looks unprofessional to me.
  6. Ah. An exclusive civilian head that doesn't look like ned to me still doesn't validate buying the pack in my eyes, but that helps. It's gonna be tough to find one with the head facing the transparent packaging and at the edge of the pack so you can see printing, but I wish you luck.
  7. Lego's printing gets worse and worse, they can't do flash on dark colours or get prints to line up, and now they can't even get a full print on the figure. If this is true, I'm not getting the pack. Churro head spidey is the one exclusive part and they couldn't even get that right.
  8. Saw a rumor on instagram that we are getting 2 sets for the black widow movie, a "small" and "medium" one. This was posted by "nicky_anela" and this is her only post, so it probably isn't true but I though I should add it to the discussion. If true I could see these coming out alongside a spiderman wave in 2020.
  9. We already have lego city space for exploration, and while I agree that it isn't nearly a space theme, and just a wave under a subtheme with half the sets set on the ground, I think if we were to have a space theme it would need conflict. The world's changed since 1978's classic space. Even then they had weapons on their ships, according to the designers, but they had to keep those subtle because the head of the department didn't want conflict in the sets. Now, we have star wars, and a space-based lego theme has to draw children's attention enough to compete with video games like fortnite and apex legends, games that revolve entirely around you killing everyone else. Maybe there could be a main objective of the sets' heroes besides conflict, but the ships will always be weaponized, and there will always be enemy factions. As I said, we've come a long way since 1978, the world's changed. NASA is sending people to the moon, to stay, by 2024. SpaceX claims to have humans on mars by 2030. And america has considered creating a space-based branch of it's armed forces, meaning that even in real life we'll eventually have spacecraft with weapons. That being said, I do agree that there could be a way to make a space theme that stands out enough from star wars and still captures the kids' attention, without being soley focused on war. A distinctive ship design and a resource harvesting/exploration type thing, with some sort of space pirates or something, could work, but I still think star wars won't be slowing down very much in the gap, even if they did make a new space theme. There's been at least a movie a year for 4 years, and there's so many sets we need for them, along with the multiple live-action shows, and a new video game. That said, we should probably stop talking about the possibility of a new space theme before the mods go after us for it not being star wars.
  10. Yeah, the red's more of an outline, not filled like in superior but it still works pretty well.
  11. I've heard it was "confirmed" that a KOTOR trilogy was in the works, with the writer of alita: battle angel having nearly finished the first draft of the first movie, so you might be right in it being less than 3 years if they've already got the first draft of the script. Then again, it was buzzfeed news, so who knows if it's true or not. I don't think they'll stop making/slow lego star wars, even for a few years, just to make an in-house theme. Disney wouldn't be happy, at any rate. We've had star wars and in house themes side by side for galaxy squad, alien conquest, mars mission, and even life on mars. And conflict sells better than exploration sets, ethics nonwithstanding.
  12. Saw gerrera, galen erso, endrio two-tubes etc. But i was thinking more about solo for the figures, as we need dryden, the literal main villain of the film, l-337, a major character, along with other less prominent characters. For rogue one it's more so sets we need, such as the cargo shuttle, hammerhead corvette, raddus's ship, the at-act, the tie reaper, etc. The only set I can think of that we're really missing for the prequels is what, the invisible hand? I'm sure there's more but none with as much screen time as the cargo shuttle or at-act. And as i said earlier, even in their first few years all the prequels got more sets than rogue one
  13. That's what messed me up, I got worldwide and big time mixed up, as he "hit the big time" so to speak in that arc. any normal spider-man head, the 2015 miles morales torso, black legs, black or red/black dual molded arms, and the iron spider robot arms but use red instead of gold. Torso is slightly different, but it's still pretty close.
  14. All of the figures are from sets that aren't meant to be for rogue one or appear in other movies though. The tantive IV was mainly in ANH, merrick was in an advant calender, and vader's castle featured an exclusive minifigure based on a VR game, so it might not be meant to be representing RO. We also have had 12 rogue one sets, including polybags, in the three years since it's release. Phantom menace had 20 in it's first three, AOTC had 13 in it's first 2 years, and ROTS had 20 in it's first 3. All three have those have also had 15-20 more years of sets, so i'd say rogue one needs more sets than the prequels
  15. Spider ham would be great. I read that we had one in july too, but i guess that was fake news. has it? what are hulk, falcon, bucky, scarlet witch, war machine, etc doing then? even after civil war, they still had a few avengers. Superior's an easy purist custom though, and we already have scarlet.
  16. I hope so, those battle playsets are garbage. I bought one to test and for the new scout trooper, and it's so overpriced. I was just confused as it seemed a weird thing to do since it was the only new mold. Also, I wan't here when the video came out so I didn't know.
  17. Are the other minifigure packs? I think they all release together so it might just be a glitch. There are 3 mcu films in 2020 from what i've heard. I think if we got zemo as an antagonist we'd see his comics costume at some point, of course definately MCU-ified. Maybe he goes insane after he hears in jail that the avengers are united again? I'll try, but I've got some personal stuff going on so it might be awhile Yeah I think so. I would like to see that too, not a dc fan but i do admire how they added all those other figures, like shazam. Silver sable isn't a terribly hard custom, but yeah even classic ones like the lizard that we haven't gotten yet could show up.
  18. meanwhile Rogue one and solo continue to get nothing despite the many figures we need and sets they could make. Sometimes i agree with the people who say there's too much new content coming out. Hey remember like a year ago when we saw that new mold for the TLJ Fathier in that video made by lego? Was that just a one-off for the video or did we ever get anything else?
  19. mine is the iron legion helmet on ayesha's torso with navy arms and gold hands, as well as the legs from the cmf kendo guy. I recently put a neck bracket on it with a 1x1 trans light blue stud to get the arc reactor look on the suit, it looks ok.
  20. Sorry. Anyway, my point there is that that version of spider-man was the one in the comics where he had parker industries, and as a result there were many spider-gadgets and vehicles, lending a weird sort of accuracy to the sets. I wouldn't consider the bricklink listings evidence of how well it sold, but I don't think it sold well either. Too basic and unexciting of a build, and no exclusive super characters, so kids won't want it, and too inaccurate for (most) adults to want it. The FFH minifigure pack is the only set that we know of that will be releasing later this year.
  21. I really hope the knights of ren are included, otherwise I'm not sure if i'll get anything from the wave.
  22. These aren't confirmed by lego or even "confirmed", the post after it is questioning the cost of one of the sets, they have star destroyer listed too despite there being no real evidence, leading me to think the "(set name)" part is a suggestion. Also, one of their "ep9" sets is listed as "buildable yoda" and another one is just called "location playset" with no reference to episode 9, so that could be one.
  23. In the comic arc called "big time", Peter owns parker industries and has spider-themed vehicles and gadgets for his "bodyguard", spider-man, who wears the suit we later see in the january 2019 sets, called the "big time" suit. I like the eating face, but it's not a $15 piece for me. I'll save it for when I need to go over for a GWP
  24. I think we'll have to see how big the merchandise/marketing is for those properties, but I would expect a few small mandalorian sets, like rebels/resistance, and maybe just one fallen order set releasing at a later date if the battlefront and battlefront 2 sets are anything to go off of. I'm of the same opinion though, the IX sets don't interest me.
  25. True. I just thought that since the spiderman suit in those sets was the "big time" suit, it gives a small amount of credence to those stupid vehicles.
