I guess with that One Piece boat doing well as pre-orders, and a rumoured Pirates of the Carribean ship coming, the chances of Zelda's return being something Wind Waker related are essentially zero, aren't they? It's a shame, the Wind Waker-adjacent games have probably the most adaptable vehicles/play sets. Still hoping that the Bowser train is a dry run for a Spirit Tracks Spirit Train!

How do you sit down to name a set with five people having a fight and arrive at the word "duel"? How does that get printed up without anyone thinking twice about it?

I liked the Venom figure! They just need to spend some Star Wars level krone and do some nice moulded heads.

Quite surprised by that. I would have probably expected it to be The Batman themed in order to pair up with the Technic motorcycle. I wonder if they do fit in terms of scale. Hard to guess!

Looks like the constraction figure form is back in a big way! Since Lego are clearly reading this forum and giving everyone what they want (like your big Spiderman statue battle that everyone seemed to want) I'd like to beg once again for the following constraction characters... - Star-Lord, helmet on, fabric duster coat. - Winter Soldier, masked, massive gun ending with one of those 4-stud disc launcher things at the end so that he can shoot magnetic mines. - Black Panther, with an accompanying Lexus Coupe to stand on (similar to the scout trooper speeder bike 75532 which was frankly awesome).

Here's my freaky guess - the film is going to hulkify Red Guardian (blending him with Red Hulk). So you will get a bigfig and you will get Red Guardian, but it won't be what you want in either case. Just a guess since between Barnes, Walker, and Taskmaster you already have enough shield-wielding super soldier types. So it would be more varied. And it would be fun. And David Harbour already has experence being a big lad with red skin.

There's the Lexus LC 500. Over on the Technic side there's the Ferrari Daytona (42143) and the Lamborghini Sián (42115) and they're already $450 in the US. Chuck in a Black Panther figure like the new Spidermans/Venom for another $20. Another $30 for licensing costs and you're at the magic $500.

If Rocket’s mech isn’t brown and tree-y I would be very, very, very surprised.

I'd like to see Lego tackle the Giger batmobile design as a freaky deep cut. https://batman.fandom.com/wiki/H.R._Giger#Batmobile_concept

"Iron Man vs. The Mandarin: Ultimate (Collectors' Series) Showdown", is it finally time to realise the dream? Or it could be a 4,500-piece model of a fire extinguisher.

Presume the small vehicle in the throne set clips underneath the larger vehicle as some sort of dropship (dropsubmarine)?

So... the monster in 76207 wasn't (completely) made up by Lego then! I feel bad for that Sanctum scorpion now. Lonely guy.

Wait wait wait, is Constraction coming back? I would like to re-state my requests for 1x Star Lord, 1x masked Winter Soldier with a disc-shooter on the end of his gun, and 1x Black Panther surfing on a Technic-built Lexus

I have the 42127 Batmobile on order. Does anyone have it and know how easy it might be to link up the steering wheel to the actual steering? Looks like there might be a lot of space under the hood to rig up something simple?

I think you mean "Doc Ock, Iron Spider, MIT Assistant Vice Chancellor." You know how it works.

Shame that that new polybag doesn't have Mysterio in his mocap suit and camera helmet. I know a few people were wanting that. Does it have the Spiderman suit that people thought was 'missing' from the Far From Home wave? (I've got to be honest the suits all blur into one for me, have ended up with a few but the one from Civil War did me fine.)

Has anyone tried or got any ideas for integrating the New Asgard set into the Ideas Old Fishing Store? Style and colour is a perfect match...

I wonder if the Iron Man head from 4529 would be an equivalent size fit for 76206, and maybe better. Not that it matters to me, I don't have a 4529. I am a Constraction apologist though. Quite enjoyed the Star Wars ones, particularly the speeder bike, and I think it would have been a good fit for more Marvel. Would have definitely sprung for a Constraction Star Lord and a Constraction Masked Winter Soldier. But I'm not sure either of those would fit this new mostly-bricks style. And I'm not sure which other Marvel (MCU) characters would. Basically just War Machine and Ultron, isn't it?

There's definitely something down there. I assume it's supposed to be a secret, unadvertised feature like the hidden world inside the shell of the NES. I'd guess a it's a 5th diorama. In terms of the game there's the cave level with the elevator and the dinosaur? The castle basement with the rabbit? Probably a Bowser boss course is most likely. Mario falls down a trapdoor into the first of those, so that's kind of 'subterranean' too.

Why is everyone glad it's not the WWII mech? I thought people were quite stoked by that idea just a few months ago. Just because it would be too close to Iron Monger? Admittedly, having two mechs for two What If sets is not hugely appealing now. Glad the Advent Calendar has a fire extinguisher.

Likely meaning is that the ship is good for 'play' and 'display'.

Time to start the early begging for Stark's Formula 1 car (splits in two) and Shield's Mjolnir dig site?

Well I think it’s pretty certain that the designers have been reading this forum, isn’t it? It’s like everyone’s wishlist from the last couple of years in action. Well done and many thanks TLG, it’s probably more than we deserve!

Eh, I reckon 12 new versions of Venom will probably be enough...
