With blue being explorers rather than pilots, red could take that role; medical is a good choice, as well as security. Galaxy Squad colours denoted teams rather than roles, though each team had an area of specialisation (Blue - Strategy and technology, Green - Defence and heavy artillery, Red - Speed, Orange - Firepower).

I have never played Mafia before, but it looks fun - I am in!

We got Dash as the Series 16 Spy.

LEGO just renewed the 10-year license in 2022, IIRC, so I doubt that these sets are being made with the 2032 renegotiation in mind. A large interstellar transport ship, a larger mining vehicle, a smaller base (can connect to the existing one), a small space outpost (can connect to the large station), and a few ~$11 sets like a rover or a speeder would be a perfect second wave. I would also like to see a new colour; red feels like the obvious choice, and it has a dark shade that can be used for the team’s leader.

No, but I can see her appearing in the next Ninjago City Modular. Those are the Whack Rats from Prime Empire.

There was a second BARC (without sidecar) that pulls up beside the one that Beq takes.

The first episode was very much "filler" (for lack of a better term), but not bad; I like seeing what the Ninja are up to when they are not stopping world-ending villains. - These shorts definitely take place either in the middle of (or after) S2; the interactions between Cole and Kai suggest that they have been reunited for some time. - Interestingly, the "mech pilot" suits existed prior to the mechs' creation, so maybe these will be the S2 base suits (with the climber suits coming later in the season). - Those backpacks actually are the mechs - I have no idea how they are able to collapse into such a small space! Some kind of nanotech, perhaps? - I love the mech assembly sequences! - Arin must have had two of the same hoodie, since he still has his casual clothes after his Ninja suit was created. - Arin's Spinjitzu seems more refined than it did in S1 - He has clearly been practicing!

The first short is up!

We got PoBB before the 90th, and Eldorado Fortress and the MTS after; remakes/nostalgia sets are not restricted to the 90th anniversary. As for Moments, I am assuming that it is the nostalgia remake subtheme of Icons. It is a definite improvement over some of their past designs! 😬

Do you have a source, or is this just your speculation?

It appears to be a single flexible plastic part like windsurfers have used since the 1990’s.

Or we get two speeders and the set acts as a pseudo-battle pack (which is my theory based on the part-count).

That URL does not work.

Sort of. The Ninja always get their new suits at some point during the season, but from SotFS through Crystalized, they wore their SotFS suits as their default outfits (when not in their season-specific costumes).

The City rescue helicopter has a new canopy piece (I thought that it was this one, but it is actually a rounded version with different connection points).

Dreamzzz was codenamed “Titan”, so “Orange” could be in-house; that said, I am not sure that LEGO would add a fourth major in-house theme to their lineup (if so, pleasebespacepleasebespacepleasebespace). Good point about Zelda, though. 👍 The only female Transformer in the movie/hypothetical LEGO line, you mean? There are definitely more female Transformers! Yep! 👍

Ah, nice! 👍 The other City sets that have Minifigs with helmets also include hairpieces, so I am not sure why that is not the case with the space sets.

Actually five criminals and only four posters; tracksuit guy (hideout) is not in prison, old guy (prison island) does not have a non-prison variant, and the black-haired woman (chase, prison island) does not have a wanted poster. I am assuming that this will be rectified in the 2HY sets, though.

Also one in the polybag police ATV (which is unique!).

The S1 suits were their backup suits, so in-universe these may just be their new main ones. The climber suits are obviously modified/specialised, so those are not going to be their base outfits. Sora also has one.

- Chronosteel is back! I am very curious to see how this factors into the overall plot, since it can steal/channel Elemental Powers. Maybe, since Source Dragons are the sources of these powers, their power can be harnessed via Chronosteel. Perhaps Jordana was the one who ordered the shipment? - Cole and Sora have some kind of device on their backs that is not represented either by moulds or prints on the Minifigs. - I like that the limb-swapping feature of the sets is actually canon to the show. - Arin retains his S1 appearance while Kai and Cole get their mech suits - Is the mech pilot Arin just for the sets, then? - The Mechanic returns! I am glad to see that he survived the Merge and is back to being a villain of the week. - I wonder why the ice dragons are attacking; maybe the Mechanic is controlling them somehow? - An odd character design detail: Kai and Cole have triangular-shaped shoulder pads on their suits instead of the rounded ones from the sets; considering that the assets for the correct parts exist (they were used for the flashback Core suits in S1), I wonder if this is based on a prelim design or a new part that will debut later in the year. 🤔 - Somewhat of a stretch, but the description for the video mentions “extra spicy noodles”; considering that Chronosteel is connected to Amber (it was created by the first Master of Amber) and the character most connected to noodles is Skylor, I wonder if this is a hint at her returning? I hope so, since she did not even get a name-drop in S1!

That, and also the tile on the robot is bright light orange, not yellow.

I can see that! Combining the helmet with the orange 2022 suits would make a good purist version of that suit. Even the stickers seem reusable, as the caution stripe ones in the mech appear to be clear-backed (per the instructions).

Ah, thanks! I forgot about it because I am not into midi-scale.

Invisible Hand?? Where was that rumoured?
