Got it! 👍

Definitely more medical sets, since that has become almost as large a subtheme as police/fire (which I am very happy about, since hospitals used to be a rarity!). I can also see some of these ideas being combined (fire truck and fire chief’s car, police helicopter and prisoner transport, etc), but I do think that a new police station is 100% a lock. I am also expecting some smaller construction sets in bright light orange, to go with this year’s excavator and mobile crane. It has been a while since we got a big boat for fire/police, and the last fire boat was small, so I think that a smaller police boat would be more likely (which would also tie back to this year’s prison island sets). I also actually hope that we get more medium-sized helicopters (see this year’s rescue helicopter), and one each for police and fire would round out the emergency services lineup nicely.

There is a taco tile piece (I just bought some from PAB), so a taco truck (with a giant taco on the top!) would be an easy addition. An Asian food truck would also be easy (we already have chopsticks, and sushi and noodle tiles), and we could get an interesting design with that as well (maybe something like the burger truck, but with a pagoda on the back?).

Could you DM me a link? Good idea! They would look especially good on Geonosians, as it would enhance the spindly and buglike appearance of the Minifigs. Zeb is digitigrade, but the main issue with the faun leg piece for him is that he would not be able to sit down! Also, since Zeb is wearing a NR pilot suit now, the exact configuration of his legs may not be obvious due to the bagginess (and to the fact that it is easier for his stand-in actor to wear weird shoes with a slight heel than it is to make a fully CGI character).

They are sold out now; hopefully they will come back in-stock again.

I am not a fan of the Morrison suits, but I will reserve judgement until I actually see how the show executes the concept. A few good ways to do them would be as a uniform for the present-day X-Men (as they lack the resources to make individualised costumes), a future uniform (which plays onto Cable’s expected “black leather” suits), or as a team suit at the end of the season (the X-Men were divided ideologically and scattered across time, so reuniting at the end and wearing a standardised uniform for the final battle against (presumably) Apocalypse would actually be a good bit of visual storytelling). Since all of these characters have appeared in the animated series (‘92 and/or ‘97), I can see us getting comic/show versions of them as soft game tie-ins. Odd combination (IM3 + Endgame), but since I never got the original Rescue ‘fig, I appreciate that she is available here. Disappointed that Sabra was not swapped for Ross (or Moff Gideon). Do we know if Torres has the same new wing mould as Sam? I am very glad to see A-Tower Falcon and Wasp reused (still waiting OK Hawkeye and Vision. . .), and an Ant-Man that does not need to be cobbled together was long overdue! I suspect that some the unnamed 2+ Minifigs will be villains, though I do hope that we get Ronin finally! Maybe this will depict the part when they are playing keep-away with the Nano Gauntlet? That would allow for a good amount of dynamic poses, as well as require less focus on the villains (freeing up space for Ronin and other new/updated heroes).

I can see that; I am expecting a lot of stickered Easter eggs to appear (First Class picture, Xavier's will, namedrops, maybe the lineup board from the '97 S1 finale). Avengers Tower does not have a working elevator - Just the doors on each floor.

My guesses are Xavier's office (maybe behind the balcony?), the war room, Beast's lab/infirmary (likely combined), a living room, and maybe one bedroom (Jubilee's would be the best, but also unlikely as she is not included). A small Danger Room is possible, though I am not sure how that would work at this scale. I also expect a staircase or elevator to get between floors (Avengers Tower is the one exception to this trend). Beast was in the first list, so he may actually appear.

A comment on Reddit suggested that the not-Scout trooper from the Andor S2 teaser could be CompForce; that would make sense, and the design is a good translation of their Legends appearance.

Ah, OK. Probably not Pellaeon, since whoever it is will be defeated in the movie; I do think that we will get an appearance from him (and maybe even Thrawn) in the film, however, to set up the next Mandoverse arc.

Quite amusing that this happened twice!

I was thinking Fantastic Four, given the retrofuturistic vibe of the upcoming movie.

Ah. If we ever get one, some of the parts will be in light/dark grey, since LEGO only makes the joints in those colours (due to the quality of the plastic in those colours, I believe). IMO, the red-and-yellow suit from She-Hulk is more likely.

I am not 100% sold on Skeleton Crew at this point; the suburbs looked too Earthlike for me (I know that Star Wars has always drawn from Earth, but we usually get a mix of styles to create something unique, rather than a 1:1 recreation), but hopefully things will get weirder once the kids get stranded. Also, that school feels dystopian as hell, and more like an Imperial Academy than something I would expect from the NR era! I was not expecting the droid to be an ally to the kids, but considering the peg leg, he may betray them at some point; I am wondering if he is relatively new and just got trapped in the ship, or if he is actually from whenever the ship crashed, since his design is very similar to the KX-series. Not much to say about Mando & Grogu yet (I did like the mouse droid POV shots), though LEGO had better finally give us Zeb!! Also, this would be an excellent time to remake the Snowtrooper helmet so that it can actually fit with a backpack. So many things in Andor S2 for LEGO to make (new U-wing, Police Gunship, TIE Avenger, whatever that ship was that went to lightspeed at the end of the trailer) in addition to missing S1 content (Fondor, Partisan X-wing, Imperial speeder, etc). Obviously K2 and Krennic (along with the missing characters/troopers from S1) are a must, and there are a couple of interesting new Imperial uniforms (red uniform with what looks like the cut of an officer's jacket but the logo and cylinders of a pilot/technician, with or without a black armour vest; and the quasi-Scout Trooper with a cap). I am wondering if the new Imperial control room will be another part of ISB headquarters (we see Dedra and Partagaz there), or if it will be an AWR facility (as they also wear white); the glass elevator shot (possibly of Krennic, though more likely someone in an overcoat) seemed like it was in some kind of factory. I also suspect that (heavy spoilers!!): Not a Scout Trooper. The armour is similar, but the S2 Trooper has single shin plates (rather than boots and knee pads), no codpiece, plates hanging down over the hips, no pouches on the midsection, etc (in addition to a cap instead of a helmet). Where did the Victory-class appear? I rewatched the trailer, and there were no ISDs at all.

Still up as of a few minutes ago! They really just need to throw a black torso into a random City set, since the helmet and airtanks are already available!

Angel would be nice, but he is a reasonably easy custom (especially with the new wing piece in the DnD CMF!), and he has not appeared on any Minifig list for the mansion. The DnD CMF Dragonborn paladin has an entirely flat silver body, so I assume that any Silver Samurai Minifig that we get would also be all-silver.

Orange Classic Space torsos are back in stock on PAB!!

Those dollheadz are so megablocking cursed!! 😬

The new list says that Cyclops has printed legs, so Morph is still on the table.

It could help them narrow their scope a bit, rather than just dropping a massive wave that might end up having to be discounted.

I thought I saw something there, but I assumed that it was just part of the Sentinel mixed with the 'confidential' stamp. Given that the images are either heavily desaturated or oversaturated, I would not put too much thought into the apparent colour of the head. I personally see green on the legs and the ever-present Female Superhero Hair, so Rogue seems more likely. It looks like the flying character below Storm has pieces in their hands to represent powers, so it is either Jean or Magneto. I definitely think there is someone/something behind the set number, since Gambit could easily have been posed to face the opposite direction and attack the Sentinel. It is possible. The original list (from @FoggyFate) was Wolverine, Cyclops, Rogue, Storm, Jean Grey, Gambit, Professor X, Morph, Beast, Magneto; while the new list is Wolverine, Cyclops, Rogue, Storm, Jean Grey, Gambit, Professor X, Iceman, Bishop. Most of the two lists overlap, so the ones that are in question are Morph, Beast, Magneto (List 1), Iceman, Bishop (List 2); 12 Minifigs for ~$330 feels better and more fair, and it would fill in the odd gaps in the lineup (no Beast despite his lab being an obvious choice for the interior, no Magneto or other villain character, no taking the opportunity to reuse Scott's new printed legs). I hope this is what we end up getting! The box art looks pretty final, since prelims usually do not have full posing and action shots. Wolverine's legs would be solid blue if he is a reuse from the X-Jet, so that checks out, and the other discrepancies can easily be attributed to the absolute dogshit image quality/exposure.

Oh! That is an odd choice, and the first I have heard of it! Also, I shudder to think what would have become of all the cloth capes and flags from that era!! 😬

I am not sure what you are referring to - The classic dragon can shoot any colour of (old mould) flame elements, as it has a connection hole on the bottom jaw.

I think that the main impediment to getting a bendy bus is the bendy part - I am not sure how that could be achieved without just using a hinge and some bricks or plates for texture. 🫤 Train car connectors are similar to the bendy part of a bendy bus, and we have never gotten a piece for those despite trains having been an ongoing subtheme since LEGO started making themes! I am surprised that we have not seen a $10-$15 dune buggy yet - The closest things to a Meyers Manx were in the Classic Town era!

The Rebel Fleet Trooper legs (dual-moulded light grey and black) are up on PAB!
