It is pretty good but I still prefer "Begging like a turtle" Honestly I'd more or less tie them, but that's just me. I don't dislike the notion of a Teen Titan aging up and joining the league, but it does illustrate his lack of villains. Solution: Let's make him some villains. I think a magician who hates technology would be fun, let's throw in a grundy-style beast, and we'll give him a catwoman style hacker lady who steals through the internet. Let's round it out with an AI villain. I'd honestly put Flash's above superman at this point, but mainly because I love the more recent notion that he's managed to get his fight with the rogues into a sort of game where no innocents are hurt or killed. It's nice to have that tier and then the pettiest man alive and the other edgy speedsters forming the more serious tier. Guys he's leaving us clues like the leakers. Killer Moth incoming. (Just joking, I'm excited to see how the shadowbox MOC goes.)

Sure, here's a wave: Suntrooper battle pack ($19.99): 3x Suntrooper (white armor with gold arms and a gold helmet with white face area), 1x Reborn Republic Officer (beige uniform).

Build is a stolen AT-RT scout walker. Snowstriker ($29.99): Luke Starkiller (grey flightsuit with black chest box and helmet. Stolen from a tricked Padme by Jedi master Kenobi, Luke was trained from birth in the Jedi Order and joined the terrorist group known as the Alliance), Dak Ratler, and a Coldtrooper (white and light blue uniforms). Also includes a molded Wampa they're hunting and a vicous Tauntan lizard. X-fighter ($59.99): Luke Starkiller (grey flightsuit with black chest box and helmet), Biggs Darklighter (he has no mustache but a scraggly beard), R2-D2, and an Alliance Ground Crewer (Fully enclosed version of the rebel fleet helmet) TIE-Wing ($49.99): TIE pilot (Gold flight suit), 2x Republic Navy Trooper (nougat uniforms), 1x General Skywalker (blue and gold armor, yellow lightsaber, damaged face with wispy grey hair. Due to having a childhood before being indoctrinated into the jedi cult, he was able to recognize their move against palpatine was evil and leaped to his defense.

After the majority of jedi were defeated by the Mandalorian troopers in the Clone Wars, Palpatine was given the chancellorship due to his ability to resist Jedi mind control.) MBS Jabba's Headquarters ($299.99): Jabba's headquarters, which serves as a courtroom, jail, and police station on the otherwise lawless tatooine. The central area of the set has Jabba's courtroom on top and a jail below. On one side is a guard post, small infirmary, and Han's maximum-security cell. On the other is another guard post, the main gate, and a booking area. Included figures are Chief Justice Jabba, Baliff Bib Fortuna, Eloquent defense attorney Salacious Crumb, Captain Fett, Officer Dengar, Officer Bossk, Max Rebo (exactly the same), Master Starkiller, Countess Leia (baggy prison jumpsuit), Han Solo (prison suit with maximum security restraints), C-3PO, R2-D2, medical droid EV-9D9, a GNK power sapper, Warden Malaki, and the Rancor prison guard.

Shhh.... there are enough people already asking for a new republic gunship. Don't let them hear you! (It's been less than a year, guys. I'm not even against new GAR sets in that cost bracket. Let's get an ARC, or even a system Venator. But the republic gunship doesn't need to be made more frequently than the falcon. I'm a fan of them keeping the most popular stuff on shelves consistently, but a new one before the old one retires is INSANE) I have been waiting. Ten. Years. I literally gave up and made my own a few years ago (Looks cool, but I didn't have a strong enough skeleton so without a stand it's hilariously floppy). And we already know Paul's kids wouldn't so much as slow Anakin down. I feel like Luke wouldn't even have to deal with that situation though- Mara wouldn't do that to him. Because she's the best currently legends- only character (don't worry, Revan's technically canon) and should have been an anniversary fig. I know this is beating a long-dead horse, but I am really confused by the anniversary fig selection, with it being 5-6 long-requested characters and one pretty bland choice. I can't imagine it was just because she's a female character, because Mara and Aphra seem like much better choices. I can't imagine it was just because she was from the live action shows, because Krrsantan, Koska, Axe, etc would have been better choices. This was also our best chance at Kino Loy, a character pretty much 0 kids would be remotely interested in, but I'm gonna keep my unrealistic expectation that he was considered for the anniversary figs.

Return of the TURTLE! In honor of his grand return, I'll say one thing that Batman has better than any other DC character- the best rogue's gallery. Full stop. A rogue's gallery so good, they were able to make a successful batman show without a practicing batman. As I've said before I think it's the biggest issue with wonder woman- she just doesn't have enough iconic villains. To a lesser extent aquaman and GLs suffer from this- though while GL only has a couple iconic villains in terms of specific people, he's got the best extended lore of any leaguer so he's a little more safe. It's also what's keeping Cyborg from that Flash/GL/Aquaman tier- he's got Grid and not much more. The pokemon? (I know who Hit monkey is, don't worry)

Also a potential way around worry about the punisher being associated with the R-rating. I have to strongly disagree on that second point. It's not so much about what kids actually see- most kids probably watch rated-R films years before they're 17, for instance- but about what's socially acceptable to show to kids. At the end of the day, lego's a children's toy brand, and even when sets are marketed to adults, they're still from a children's toy brand.

HE LIVES! Glad to see it. I always thought it stood for Dc Comics. Sort of an inception thing. First, did you add an image to my statement? On my screen there's a picture of what looks like doctor who characters added in in your qoute. I mean I agree with the general premise that it shouldn't be the only thing she's known for, but I'm also not sure that it is the main thing she's known for. I think if you ask the average non-fan on the street what they know about WW, I can't imagine anyone's response would be "she killed that one guy" My last statement on the topic of whether or not the Aslume stuff is acceptable on the forum is that the mods seem to be fine with it, and regardless of how certain people take it, it's not insulting anyone. Anyone can have a negative response to anything, but people calling batman and jokler man and jonkler in a public forum that's got a lot of jokes is not bullying or harassment.

Turtle doesn't make Aslume jokes, though. Which is actually really strange, come to think of it. Detective Chimp wave when? Detective chimp mech ($14.99), Detective Chimpmobile microfighter ($9.99), Detective chimp battle pack ($19.99), Detective Chimp construction figure ($29.99), Detective Chimpcopter ($39.99), Detective Chimpmobile ($59.99), Detective Chimp Statue ($99.99), Modular Detective Chimp's office ($229.99), UCS detective chimp ($999.99) That's fair- I once heard someone say that Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman are Justice, Hope, and Love. And you're right that she is very compassionate. But at the same time, she is a warrior. When she needs to, she'll kill. I don't think it's so much that she kills more than she should, but she's a warrior, and she kills when necessary.

Unless it's the same number, I kind of doubt it. If lego did decide for whatever reason to remove certain figures from that set, they've shown they're fine just releasing it with other figs. As-is, I'm assuming this is just a previously unknown set- it's not difficult to imagine a brickheadz pack flying under the radar. A falcon mech and a winter soldier mech could both be fun (wings and sort of a hermit crab style big arm), and I'd also love to see marvel mechs like the recent X-wing mech. (Star lord in a milano mech, black widow in a quinjet mech, cyclops in an X-jet, etc)

This might be the single greatest post on this thread. (But actually, this is a really neat way of handling the suggestion. Keeping the joke in swing while also preventing it from spreading further than neccesary. Sorry- I meant out of the trinity. The Space-based heroes usually kill more. If you're getting something out of that first part, legitimately good for you, but I want to make sure you do know that being called stupid is one of the main jokes in the aslume stuff, so it's not really going to impact clonecommando. I know this has come up before, but I'll repeat it again, these are jokes, and they aren't meant at anyone's expense. This is the internet. People are going to make jokes, and these aren't mean spirited. They're not insulting anyone. I've been saying for awhile that a somewhat likely scenario is we just get a comic-based batmobile with superman and/or lex thrown in, but not only does that exceed the three figure maximum for batmobiles, we haven't gotten a non-gimmick comic set since what, 2020 or 21? I think you might be on to something! IIRC Maxwell Lord told her it was the only way to un-mind-control superman, right? I feel like at least in the heat of the moment that's a pretty rational reaction to one of your best friends trying to murder everyone and the guy who made him like that actively telling you it's the only way. Though the wider thing is fair, and while I haven't read her Tom King run, if it's anything like his other runs I'm not surprised. Look man I'm not a fan of the Acolyte either but the show didn't even get sets. And if it had, it'd be sandwiched between all the sets based on other stuff you and me like. Lego Star Wars is fine. It gets a lot of sets and that's not going to stop anytime soon.

Overall that'd be fun, but since the two last mechs we got were War Machine and Venom, I'd be OK with them not remaking them so soon.

I was offput at first, but am coming around to it. It clearly isn't a completely accurate G1 bee, and I still think there were solutions to make the shoulders a bit less bulky (Transfer the kibble to the backpack), but it is a pretty solid representation overall. Exactly! Either he's $7-800 and missing some aspect of his transformation, or he's $200 and just a statue. Either way, I'd much rather have Megs, the Waves, and the Seekers first. I'd love it, provided they don't replace the mainline sets. I think a diorama battle of autobot city would be fun, or midi-scale sets of the Arc and Nemesis with their main crews.

As I've said before, while these don't bother me too much, I really think people need to understand why lego does remakes. We aren't the primary consumers of lego, it's kids. Hence why lego tries to keep falcons, X-wings, and TIEs on shelves more or less constantly. If the option is I lose out on my Kino Loy Breakout set so kids can have a new X-wing, or my Haulcraft doesn't come out because the Falcon needs to be availible, yeah, that makes sense.

How? The part about her being the most OK with killing (because she is) or the part about that not necessarily being a bad thing (because they need someone who's ok with it for when the situation demands it)

I really do think they'll make Megatron. His G1 bot mode is pretty easy to make into a tank, and they should be able to make it look "cybertronian" enough to not explicitly resemble real-world tanks. I feel like this is at least in the ballpark of what lego would find acceptable.

Yeah, I've warmed a bit to it since then. Still not a fan of the shoulders, but I like the rest of it. Plus, I can't stay mad at that face print! The fact that they seemingly prioritized the alt-mode makes me wonder if this is going to be a licensed Beetle. 99% of transformers prioritize robot mode unless they're licensed vehicles, so it would fit. I think that's moreso just on the sheer quantity of products both companies release. There's bound to be some overlap. This is especially true with Optimus and Bee, where we get some form of them almost every year. We had G1 Optimuses from Hasbro in 2022, but I don't think that's why they chose to do him first. Overall I just really can't see Hasbro wanting lego to make a G1 Devy next year. Putting aside all the issues with a potential lego Devy (It wouldn't be able to transform, which is kind of the whole point, plus all the more iconic characters we'd need first like Soundwave or Grimlock), I think there would be competition between the two models. For most transformers it's fine. Someone who buys a $170 Optimus is probably not going to then skip the year's Core Class or Voyager. A $90 bee isn't really competing with the $25 SS86 one. But both Devys would be multiple hundreds of dollars, and I think at that point a lot people are going to choose one or the other. Much easier to skip that risk and do Soundwave or a cybertronian tank Megs. Totally agree about the shoulders/upper arms. The chest does look a little wonky, but it's 8 wide, which I think fits with Optimus's 12 wide. I hope that face print doesn't get too expensive, because I am ALREADY getting a parts list ready for Cliffjumper.

It can be done well, like the time when he threatened to destroy Darkseid's planet to set supergirl free. That entire time, Darkseid could have folded batman like a sheet of paper, but it wasn't a physical fight. He got outplayed. I was at a lego store last week and did the build-a-minifig for the first time in forever because they had the red/yellow legs, so now my flash has boots! Exactly. Alfred's archenemy would be someone like Darkseid, or at the very least someone bulletproof. I don't think it was sexist, I just think it was lazy, edgy and done for shock value. Feels more like something out of the boys than a GL story. Ben, Gwen, the Waynes, and Pa Kent are all important because it completely drives the character. "With great power comes great responsibility", "no one dies", the literal concept of batman, and having all the power in the world and not being able to save someone. Kyle's girlfriend's death was just "now I amgry" I thought we cleared Hal a few pages ago. "Because of Obi-Wan?" I feel like planet killer is probably the worst on here on a utilitarian level, but I'm gonna let Jon slide because it was an accident IIRC. Eh, it's like Slytherin in Harry Potter. Ambition isn't inherently bad, it just needs to be channeled correctly, just like rage and inspiring fear. On a more real note, I feel like she's definitely the most "hey let's kill ___" out of the trinity, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. I'd say her main weaknesses are just a complete lack of interesting rogues (legitimately only Ares for me. I just can't get behind Cheetah as a serious adversary to WW) and anything involving her real-world origin. Which is really, really bad/weird in a very unique way. He went on a geneva convention speedrun, not saying something bad on twitter. It's less "problematic" and more so "serial criminal" But regardless, I will also put myself in the "he was an awful Barry" camp with @ARC2149Nova. He's not charismatic in any way, he came off as really creepy even before it turned out there was 100% good reason to find the actor creepy, he runs weird, and he doesn't act like Barry. By far my least favorite part of the Snyder Cut, and probably my least favorite part of the Whedon cut as well.

Either they're selling the entire thing in segments thinking they'll get more that way, or someone bought a second copy to increase the tower height. Did you see the base segment for sale?

How did you reach these two particular nemesis conclusions? Alfred is very rarely in combat. I'll give you batgirl vs poison ivy just because they were nemeses in the 2004 batman series. Anyway, you forgot the much cooler matchups: Superman vs Lex Luthor Wonder Woman vs Ares Flash vs Reverse Flash Hal Jordon vs Sinestro Jon Stewart vs Alderaan Guy Gardner vs twitter Kyle Rayner vs kitchen appliances and/or low-effort character development tropes. That's not gonna help his reaction to the character. Since we've gotten so off-topic, I'm gonna bring up that bumblebee leak and how it (specifically the arms) makes me feel like that scene in Man of Steel after superman kills Zod where he just falls to the ground mentally broken.

Oof, I'm gonna need to see that vehicle mode and some more poses. Pros: Feet are excellent, head is excellent, chest is solid, forearms appear good from what I can see. Cons: Shoulders are hilariously bulky, legs are literal rectangles. What the hell happened here? (Also the gun is weirdly oversized for Bee and altogether just a strange shape) I suspect the arms aren't as bad as this image makes them look, but man, that's disappointing. If I'm wrong about the arms being better than they look in this image, and the vehicle mode isn't incredible, I might actually wait for a sale. Lego's really letting me down this summer.

I refuse to elaborate on the duology besides the fact that it takes place after the trilogy, is canon to the legends continuity, and makes logical sense without devaluing the trilogy. Anything else would spoil it's main thing. I wasn't a fan of your involvement in the massacre on Lasan, I want to make that clear. What's your opinion on Flash, Wonder Woman, and the Green Lanterns?

incredible start to this catagory. Very solidly-done build!

Finally someone else says it. I'm ok with them making the dark falcon, but they're really dropping the ball figure wise. Only one I've really liked so far is White Vader. Those might be fun, but they would shelfwarm harder than any non-gimmick sets this theme's ever released. MandR and his followers when clone troopers don't get a major shelf presence this wave (They've only had the majority of battle packs and multiple $100+ sets for the past half-decade) Ironically I feel the opposite. While I'm not very happy about the figure lineup in the X-wing and TIE set, the set itself is fine if they look serviceable in their non-swapped modes. Always good to have those on shelves. The other two are more of an issue as they aren't really canon in any capacity. Now I'm not super bothered by it, but as the fig lists came out and we saw the number of made-up characters, I got more annoyed.

Very nicely gone, good resemblance to the U-wing ship. Though I'm annoyed you managed to find two rex microfighters while I've been to 5 stores in 3 states and haven't found a single copy!

I'm gonna be honest with you, I may have seen Morbius and forgotten about it. I'm not sure. It might have just been various clips and memes. I legitimately don't remember. ...I think I got morbed. This particular instance doesn't bother me, but lego's QC has plummeted. I've had more missing parts or misprints in the past year or two than in the rest of my life. ??? I know they don't exactly advertise it, but when have they discouraged it? I'm not saying they don't, I'd just be interested to see where/how.

This is one of my big worries about superman 2025. Fillion, like you said, IS Hal. And then Gunn cast him as the literal gym teacher of GLs. Not that Guy couldn't be entertaining, but Fillion is being wasted here, (and also he's not a redhead, because god forbid a redheaded comic book character be allowed to retain their hair color.) What batman horror movie did you watch? This is also completely true. You could make the argument Man of Steel does, but this just tells me that's the only superman film turtle's seen. No matter how much Batman uses them to fly (Because a lot of writers just give up and essentially give him powers under the mask of super advanced technology), a cape doesn't make you fly- or even glide well. Please do not try this at home. Every costume in that frame goes harder than most costumes are capable of. I'd honestly go so far as to say that's the best aquaman costume I've ever seen, and the top tier of costumes for Diana, Barry, and Hal. (Ironically Batman's is fairly weak- they should have taken his gadgets away so we see him just in a low-budget suit using his surroundings a la Tony in Iron Man 3)
