Ongoing Transformers Rumors and Discussion
Mandalorianknight replied to NoOneOfImportance's topic in LEGO Licensed
They could, but I feel like removing the robot modes takes away a pretty damn big part of Devastator. That would be fun. A Rodimus and Galvatron two pack could be cool down the line. Or a Grimlock in dino mode. Fern finds a way. -
(MOC) C-3PO Protocol Class Battle Mech

Incredible build- that speeder bike looks amazing for such a small part of the display. -

Mandalorianknight replied to MKJoshA's topic in LEGO Star Wars
I agree. I think we'll see some 18+ stuff too, we did for ROTJ and TPM I thought he started to sort of fade into the background after people's response to the way he drew out leaking Young Leia (which IIRC some of the clues still don't work for that, like she can't beat jango. I don't think ADULT Leia could beat jango in canon, she never really got far in her training and Jango went toe-to-toe with Obi-Wan.) I always assumed that standoff lasted until they reached Peridea. I don't think Ezra would have been able to go get a TIE Defender without the whales potentially letting go of the destroyer, and I assume Thrawn was just being held by the tentacles the duration of the voyage. -

I don't normally say this, but with the superhero themes- if it has minifigures... yeah, it'd be better. -

IIRC Pellaeon wasn't directly in that attack group. Thrawn was contacting him for reinforcements or something. I think the other couple ships they took just straight up didn't make it to peridea and got lost in hyperspace or exploded. I guess, but I don't know what else you can really do at that scale without introducing new elements. -
Marvel Superheroes 2024 - Rumors & Discussion
Mandalorianknight replied to Clone OPatra's topic in LEGO Licensed
Apologies- he hasn't told me specifically anything. I'm paraphrasing Revenge of the Sith. -
Putting aside that I think it's super unlikely a single movie- before knowing how well it'll do- is all it'd take to get lego to go from batman-only to a D2C Superman Modular, I honestly just don't think the Daily Planet's the best idea for a location-based D2C when we could get Arkham, the Hall of Justice, the Watchtower, or a comic Batcave. I dunno if it'll be BTAS specifically, but I feel like Arkham is such a clear slam dunk for lego, and since we've finally moved away from that year or two of only getting movie sets and 4+, I think it's possible. You're going to summon the Turtle back to the forum to exact divine vengeance upon you. (But no yeah it was a lame set I agree)

Marvel Superheroes 2024 - Rumors & Discussion
Mandalorianknight replied to Clone OPatra's topic in LEGO Licensed
His championing of the mutant cause is somewhat hamstrung by the fact that he constantly tries to malign superman. If what he's told me is true, he will have gained my trust. -

I always just assumed the others didn't make it. It's an expansion for the new R2-D2 of his tray with drinks from jabba's palace. I don't drink, but if I did I would ABSOLUTELY be quoting 1984 whenever I got hammered. -

I love that most false leakers are people making stuff up to get followers and Renown's only false leak is "I had too much Jawa Juice and thought it would be funny to troll you guys" -
Marvel Superheroes 2024 - Rumors & Discussion
Mandalorianknight replied to Clone OPatra's topic in LEGO Licensed
If a lego Terrax bigfig comes out next year I'll eat the minifigure* and upload it to youtube. *I cannot chew an ABS plastic bigfig, but I am confident enough that we won't see a Terrax bigfig that I stand by this. At the very least, if it somehow does happen I will make a food item in the likeness of Terrax and/or do my best at eating the figure. I hope he shows up somehow, but I don't know. They have a habit of having figs, even ones with actual roles, not be in sets. I don't know that the literal main character has ever not had a physical figure before, but we'll see. -

In their defense he shows up for about 15 seconds as a hologram. IIRC he has like one line, which was either a polite version of "block you guys, when Thrawn gets back he'll take over" or something like "I, too, am speaking in this scene". Though he has been canon since the end of Rebels- we don't see him, but Thrawn attempts to contact him shortly before Ezra whales him. Immediate BL wanted list add. It's Moustache Rebel's father, Moustache Revolutionary -

I always saw him as Thrawn's Watson, and imagined him with the accompanying mustache. IIRC he has one in Mandalorian as well. THERE'S A GREY VERSION? Again- how dare you. -

This is the worst thing that's ever been said on this forum. How dare you. He even got an update in the 2016 resistance battle pack. Put some respect on his name. -
Ongoing Transformers Rumors and Discussion
Mandalorianknight replied to NoOneOfImportance's topic in LEGO Licensed
I dunno if I'd call three generations figures since the WFC era started "we can't stop getting them", but yeah they did remember she existed recently. (Still waiting on a G1/Skybound version though- the Legacy one isn't close enough to G1 for me). Though I've always liked her more than Arcee so I'm glad she got the bigger role in TFONE and the WFC trilogy. I mean, they let them make Skywarp female, but not thundercracker, allegedly because thundercracker has something called evergreen status. I haven't seen the show but from what I heard they just replaced thundercracker with a more obscure seeker to make female (Nova Storm I think- the whole situation is really funny to me because there ARE female seekers in the lore like Slipstream), so it's not like it would have impacted the male/female ratio of toys on shelves. All this is just making me want a lego seeker so I can recolor it 80 billion times. Starscream, Skywarp, Thundercracker, Sunstorm, Nova Storm, Acid Storm, Ion Storm, Redwing, Hotlink, Bit... something or other, the generic blue one, and then the slight mod for Slipstream and the mod for the coneheads- Dirge, Thrust, Ramjet, Cloudcover, G2 Ramjet, Sandstorm, etc. Honestly I wouldn't hate this. Obviously I'd much prefer transforming figures or at least 2-in-1s, but brickheadz are cheap, they're fun, I wouldn't mind having a shelf of the G1 cast in brickheadz form. Though I'd buy anything from lego transformers. -

My bad. It would be kinda funny, especially if they went all-in and made the stand look like one of the times Optimus's severed head has been featured. We just got a figure including his severed head, wires coming out and all, on a stand. Huh, that's interesting, thanks for letting me know. (I watch Slag, too, no idea how I missed this.) I wonder if that's changed- I know it came out recently that Hasbro stepped in when the earthspark guys wanted to make Thundercracker female because he's got evergreen status. I wonder if they're two separate tiers or if one morphed into the other. -

The Mando S2 juggarnaut might not make the best set- it's an unarmed vehicle, for one thing. We don't tend to get a ton of those in this theme at that scale. As popular as mando is, I don't see a scenario where most people would take the unarmed vehicle over the armed version, especially when the figure loadout would be clones/jedi/etc vs the drivers and some generic raiders or stormtroopers. Personally if the set had a new Cara, new Boba, and/or the comedian behind the greatest acting in the franchise, it'd be a day 1 buy, as irrational as that is, but I don't think most people would find it cooler than a clone wars one with a clone legion and some jedi we haven't had in awhile, especially kids. I don't know. That Peridea set felt like it was made to push out the figures from that part of the show. I'd love a dropship and getting a ton more sets from that part of the show, which might be the best atmosphere and mythos the franchise has put out in years, but the set we did get makes me think Lego doesn't plan on doing anything until season 2. -

a $60 set with three new minifigs and a bigfig isn't all that unheard of (we're getting one for CA4 that's cheaper) but I do think Thing will be a normal minifig just because he doesn't seem to be hulk-sized on set and lego tries to shy away from bigfigs whenever possible. hahahahahahahhahahaahhahaha -

Honestly the people using the hashtag for other stuff was annoying, but instagram making it so you can't just see the most recent posts makes it unusable. I'm sure there are some fans who would be very excited for a jedi who appears in a few seconds of the prequel movies but not one with a recurring role in the clone wars cartoon, but I think that's a pretty small subset. Most people who know the background jedi from the prequel movies have probably seen the cartoon. As a side thing, I don't think it should be "hard" when a character you don't personally know who's popular with fans gets released. (Or when pretty much any lego figure gets released TBH. Unless there's like a real-world controversy about the character/person shown or something I don't really think lego releasing a minifigure should reasonably be an upsetting situation.) At this point I'd say anyone who isn't one of the trilogies' big three or main villain is a character popular with some star wars fans others won't be interested in. I think if someone's upset because they release a new Rey figure, or they don't know the new clone commander, they should probably step back for a second and remember these are plastic toys and it's OK that one of the minifigures isn't a character you recognize/like. Yeah most of his stuff is in the latter half of the series. I'll take Enoch in the battle pack over no Enoch. -

Agreed. This is exactly how I feel about this set. D-man being the main character gives me a LITTLE hope he'll show up physically at some point- we'll see. -

Plo was I think featured more than Kit in the show. He's involved in the Ahsoka Leaves arc, gets his focus in the Malevolence episode, and shows up a number of times in a smaller capacity, whether it's helping to defeat the slavers and save the slaves in the zygerria arc or discovering Sifo-Dyas's shuttle.
