I wouldn't mind that (though it wouldn't be at the top of my list) - but what I REALLY want from 18+ transformers is a buildable Matrix of Leadership. I honestly am surprised we didn't get one the second they realized G1 Prime was doing well. They love their 18+ buildable and as far as transformers go that's THE relic. Which luckily means a subline is likely- we don't often get one-offs for kids. Here are my theories, in order of how much I want them (All assumably G1/evergreen designs unless otherwise noted) 1: Actual transforming figures at a smaller size. This is unlikely due to how hard it'd be to pull off, even at core class level articulation, but I had to mention it. I feel like a G1 prime might actually be doable. 2: Speed Champions versions of transformers vehicles. Camero Bee from the Bayverse and then a number of the G1 sports cars, whether it's the Lambros, Wheeljack, Mirage, even characters like Prowl/Smokescreen/the streaks. 3: 2-in-1s: I put these below the car-only ones as I feel like at least one of the modes is going to be hampered badly by this, but it's the best way to represent transformers "transforming" at that scale without too much difficulty. 4: Construction figures. I feel like these would be hampered by the excellent Blockees figures, which are only $14 each for pretty excellent beginner-level model kits, but Lego is Lego so I don't think the G1 main cast or Bayverse Bee/Optimus would sell poorly.

But he's such a family friendly character! He's just sad about his pet bunny! You've identified the issue yourself, I think. That was a decade ago, back when there were only 6 movies and one mainstream show. There's a good shot a number of those weren't even necessarily planned for anniversaries. There's so much content now, we don't get as much for anniversaries. Everything from ESB's 40th in 2020 on has gotten a significantly smaller- but still notable- amount of sets. Exactly, it's a marvel reference. It's not a notable character by any means. I 100% get the sentiment as a fellow 212th fan, but honestly the BL prices aren't too bad right now, especially for a star wars character. It's like $6-8, even for groups as large as 10. If we're gonna keep getting clone sets, I wouldn't be opposed to a faction like the 327th or Wolfpack.

That's an insane name but I love CA:CW so I will probably pick it up. Between that and the potential for comic ultron and Anti-Venom this might be the most I've spent on marvel in a single wave since... ever, I guess. I staggered my endgame purchases over a year or so.

And I'd love smokescreen (Either the G1 styled one or Not Rod from TFP - who I love, don't get me wrong, but you can't tell me that he wasn't Hot Rod until Hasbro got worried people might still hate him) or sideswipe, but I'm just not sure they'd sell at bumblebee scale. Speed Champions, though? I can't believe we haven't started getting that. Wheeljack I do think could make it at big scale, he's in that Ratchet/Ironhide/Arcee tier of being right behind Optimus/Bee/Grimlock in terms of iconicity. Though I might be biased since he's my favorite.

Honestly I feel like all the film/show anniversaries have had roughly the same amount of stuff. We know there's an ARC and Plo Koon's fighter coming, so throw in a brickheadz and 1-2 ROTS styled sets in the august wave and we're there. Yeah. I can't wait for our Kenobi wave celebrating five years of the greatest miniseries of all time. Or our Young Jedi Adventures anniversary giving us the first-ever UCS 4+ set. Hey he's a Clone Fan, not a Clone Bro. It is really funny. I've seen big numbers of people who say stuff like "lego hates the prequels because we don't have commander Doom." Commander Doom. Who was in like one scene of one episode in clone wars. We haven't had Doom, the character he homages, in 12 years, for comparison.

yeah, no way it's more expensive than the AT.

? In the words of Charlie Day, "Awwww, did somebody get addicted to crack?" Tortoise, if you will. The movie felt like they were trying to undo the first one. It was terrible.

I'm not sure sure- I suppose it's possible they do a speed champions set of Mirage's vehicle mode or something as a tie in (Which would be an insane pick over Camero Bee or any of the more popular G1 alt modes) but I don't think people would pay for a $100+ mirage figure, especially compared to Grimlock or one of the major Cons. Devastator is a wild choice for #7 there. I tend to see people say the "big four" of the cons are megs, screamer, and the waves- shockwave as the fourth. Plus I feel like characters like Arcee are more well known. Devastator is awesome, don't get me wrong, but he tends to be more of a grunt (Not to mention in this specific context he'd be just about impossible to pull off in lego form unless he was like $700)

That makes sense, I just always imagined they'd be more automated than that at this point. I swear not only is their QC much worse, but their customer service is a lot worse too- I have a missing or misprinted piece in pretty much every other set I buy. It's insane. At this point if I have a spare in my collection I don't have the energy to contact lego each time- I know, I know, I should- but I did for the Tantive Hallway set because it was especially egregious- misprinted stormtrooper head, and no lightsaber blade, which would have been brutal if I was a kid buying the set. I let lego know about it, basically saying "Hey, I get things happen sometimes, but I've been having significantly more QC issues at the same time that you've been increasing prices.". Their response was to pretty much completely ignore the fact that I was missing pieces and just say "We understand our prices have increased, but that's to keep such a high quality standard" which... what? It feels like an AI trained to respond to any comment about price increases because the majority of my complaint was about their QC and their response was "our prices are high because our QC is good". Exactly.

But the lower portion of cloud city makes it pretty much impossible to have a set up to lego's stability standards, no? And without the spike and "floating" look you lose 90% of what makes cloud city's exterior iconic. Somewhat unrelated and probably too far off topic, but I'd love if the midi scale subline did a microscale cloud city (complete with tiny Falcon, cloud car(s), and some clouds). Can't believe we got R7 in fortnite before lego mara jade. Very excited to finally download the game so I can play as my favorite character, limbless Ahsoka's astromech droid. How does this even happen? I feel like with the way lego does things, if the R7 head made it into a set in place of another element, it feels like we'd hear about a whole batch of battle buses with that issue. I can't figure out how a single one would manage to find it's way into another set's bag, since one is printed and the other isn't.

AWESOME. My guess is this is probably just Transformers One construction figures, which is funny because I posted here about how much I didn't want that when the rumors first came out about a year ago, but now that the film turned out to be so good, I would love that. Though my preference would still be anything that actually transforms, of course. I really do think G1 Optimus could be made with about the same detail- and more articulation- than his G1 figure at more or less Voyager/Leader scale. Same. Honestly I don't know why Bumblebee didn't come with Spike and/or Carly. It would be nice to get more human characters like the G1 Witwickys, Skybound Spike and Carly, Fowler, mech suit Noah, Shia Lebouf and Mark "If I was on that plane things would have gone differently" Wahlberg My fourth favorite N.E.S.T. agent.

If the theme actually returns turtle should be unbanned, even if just to make a single post gloating about how he was right all along.

Archnemesis of spider-ma'am Sure, but I think it's better than not having them. You don't like em, you can just remove them.

Superman Pen Pal is too optimistic, if Soup and Man are both on shelves, who are they going to write to? I was hyped for a Nightwing and Red Hood team up movie, but no, we're not allowed to have anything good. It's a robin origin movie. $10 says they constantly hint at how edgy and dark Jason's going to be, $20 if their method of contrasting Dick and Jason just directly apes Transformers One's dynamic between Orion and D-16. The one where the writer wrote himself into the show in the single creepiest way possible?

How exactly would you fix it? A UCS cloud city exterior with not much of interior? Drastically reducing the size so it's not "giant", and therefore probably knocking it out of the MBS range?

This line evokes raw energy of pure loss only matched by teenagers captioning instagram posts with quotes from Joker. (It seriously is very funny there's just something about the cadence of the sentence that reminds me of it, I don't know what.) I would not rule out whatever suit/marketing person writing this not realizing that the mech set is comic based, if it is. They're certainly more likely, but I wouldn't say confirmed just yet.

I would march on denmark with a legion of ewoks if they remade MBS cloud city before doing an endor bunker/ewok village MBS. What would you even want from a new cloud city? I don't think they'd be able to pull off a "shell" to give it an exterior. As it is written. Unless you're hanging out with a lot of teens/children in a job or situation where you frequently interact with kids/teens, such as a teacher, this is also very true of your opinion on the sequels. Even though many who grew up with the sequels are around social media using age, think about what happens when someone posts that they liked the sequel movies here, on a more "civilized" forum, and then think about what a 14 year old would get for posting that on instagram when the legions of clone bros find the post. Edit: That didn't come out right.

This is a Grand Admiral Thrawn level investigation, I applaud you. I think your conclusion is the only one that makes sense- it has to be true. The obvious next steps are to infiltrate the lego house and find the supply line of the dummy figures to locate their origin point. And there's another universe where lego marvel's summer 2023 wave consisted of three spider-man vs venom sets based on the 2007 movie.

I really, really would like a lego set of Black One from TFA. The 2015 set got me into collecting lego star wars specifically, and we have plenty of new parts and more complicated techniques. I don't think including minifigure(s) would automatically fix the subline, but I certainly don't think it would hurt to include the pilot. I agree, I just don't think the shuttle is a good one to do midi-scale. It might just be me, but I always thought of this subline as something more for fleets than shuttles or starfighters. Something like If it's not for an upcoming project, I don't think Disney would tell lego to make a specific vehicle. Nothing in it for them.

It might just have been speculation from someone here, but I thought a designer or someone said they couldn't put Mary Jane in the bugle because the MCU version was on shelves and it would confuse people? Now that's faulty reasoning if true given we CONSTANTLY have MCU and comic versions of the same character on shelves at the same time, but whatever.

"Wow, this set features a set of characters lego hasn't done yet, this is awesome!" "Wow, this set features the second most popular DC character, who we haven't had in 6 years, this is awesome!" Imagine a world where we're all excited for the new Teen Titans set based on their upcoming film, and the multiverse of madness in the marvel thread is losing their minds over the fact that after 5 years they're getting a set that isn't about spider-man. I'm way more interested in this than I should be, I need to know. Are there any differences in the prints? That's their mistake for believing lego DC sets exist.

Honestly, I feel like Eli Vanto never really was a bad guy or did anything bad- he pretty much only fought pirates and criminals. His heart was bringing him closer and closer to being at odds with the empire, like when he realized the empire likely had slaves, and I maintain it's one of the reasons Thrawn did what he did with him. It helps the Chiss, sure, but it also takes Eli out of the position to leave the empire in such a manner that Thrawn would be compelled to harm him. To be fair, that guy was ot a character we were ever shown the point of view of or someone we're supposed to relate to/understand, and I also would not be surprised in the least if at least one world power wasn't actively doing something extremely similar to this. Compared to some of the real-world torture methods people had centuries ago, "drive someone insane with death noises" is actually kinda tame. The massive whiplash of going through all those points on logical fallacies/combativeness and then whirling around to @THELEGOBATMAN to tell him it's probably a good idea to stop Dedraposting was an insane twist. Missed this leak- this is going to shelfwarm like crazy and I hope it's made of DBG so I can grab it at large discount to use as a parts pack. (This isn't a "Sequel bad" thing, it's just an absurd choice for a midi to me. It's not that large or iconic of a vehicle, and it doesn't really fit the fleet stuff they've been doing. Why not the dreadnaught with the giant cannons? Or even just a resurgent-class- I know it'd be similar to the executor and acclamator in "mostly LBG triangle", but I feel like since this is aimed at SW fleet collectors they're gonna be fine with having grey triangle repeats.)

We already knew there was no January BP- I don't think the other recent leaks we didn't already know about, like Plo's fighter or Slave 1, are scheduled for then either. I might have been wrong about the leak but I assumed it was for June, like I'd said. What's really funny to me is that there's a really solid chance Andor S2 does feature scenes in which Syril and Dedra are acting all lovey-dovey with eachother while... preforming their jobs, which would be a really dark dichotomy and also in-character with Andor's interest in showing that all these people are, well, people. They can be monstrous in many ways but still have human capacity for love.

There's still hope for a thunderbolts set then if that "Only one new MCU movie set in 2025" thing was true.

So he's a pink lantern right? Just meant like a building that belongs to the "hero" characters- i.e. hogwarts is generally a "good guy" location. Val would probably disagree as you say, though. I don't know what this means but it scares me.
