Classic_Spaceman

$230-$250 is great, especially given the sheer number of Minifigs and animals that could have jacked the price up! I would guess that the Broken Axes Inn is the red building adjacent to the watchtower, since that structure is a clear homage to the classic Guarded Inn. The old farmhouse is probably the third structure from the left (tan/dark tan first floor, sand green second floor, thatched roof, winding chimney), since it has a very rustic and built-over-time look to it (also, there seems to be a pen with a goat beside the tree). The other two are more difficult to determine, but given the cheese stall in the centre of the square and the cheese press towards the right, I am assuming that the olive green building on the far right is the cheese factory; the stone building with red roof (second from the left) could be the shieldsmith’s workshop. The “crook” may be the guy on the horse, since they are wearing a Forestmen’s cap.

Ah - How did I miss that?!

Good point! Maybe it is Majisto’s Tower? That has Majisto and two knights, and is small enough to be a GWP (though it does include a horse, which seems unlikely for a promo). 🤔

New episode; no major cameos that I could see:

I agree with you; I meant that by giving us all of the main characters in a single set, the only Minifigs left to include in followups would be variants and generic soldiers.

Space exhibits would probably just be real-world things like images of the moon landing, an old NASA spacesuit, etc. Still cool, though.

40601 Majisto GWP 365 Pieces November 18th-19th Black Friday Insiders promo Minifigs are Majisto and two knights. Two knights is very interesting, as the original only had one; it remains to be seen which faction they represent, but I am beginning to wonder if they will just be Lions and the extra Minifig is to make up for the lack of a new (revived) faction.

10327 Atreides Royal Ornithopter / 1369 Pieces / $164.99 / Release February 2024 Minifigs: Paul, Lady Jessica, Gurney, Chani, Duke Leto, Kynes, Duncan, and Baron Harkonnen in a long robe. Holy shit that Minifig lineup!! PPP is not great, but eight Minifigs (basically all major characters) is amazing! This sort of rules out any followup sets, though, aside from maybe some battle packs. 🫤

Where? I do not see this on there site. BTW, the prelim shows five buildings (L-R: Tudor style single-story with a brown roof, stone two-story with red roof and a chimney, two-story tan/dark tan lower floor and sand green upper floor with thatched roof (prominent chimney winding up the side), “Guarded Inn 2.0” castle wall segment (first floor) with red and black house (second floor) and a three-story guard tower, three-story with brown first floor and olive green upper floors (right half of the building is only two stories, while the left is three) and dark orange thatched roof). Twelve Minifigs are visible, with two being knights and one having a Forestmen’s cap. Source: I have the pic saved to my phone. Animals (in the prelim): 1 horse, 1 cow, 1 calf, 1 cat, 2 sheep, 2 goats, at least 1 chicken, 2 squirrels, 3 birds, and 3 owls (wings spread). I am also assuming that there is a frog somewhere, but I cannot see it.

There are also two Fortnite BrickHeadz coming out. Nothing on Minifig sets yet, though.

Source on this list, specifically Emma Frost?? Aside from my surprise that we are not getting either Jean or Rogue in the mansion, Emma Frost is low on the list of characters who I would expect to get (she is iconic, but most of her outfits are just lingerie with a cape!). Big if true. Source?

There are two in the prelim, and they appear to be using Viking torsos, so the faction was not decided at the prelim stage.

Their shield did appear in the Lion Knights' Castle, but I suspect that if LEGO is going to revive an old faction, it would be one of the more iconic ones (note that they started with Black Falcons, then moved on to Lion Knights and Forestmen). An axe variant would be cool, and if designed similarly enough to the existing lion torso, the Crusader Axe knights could reuse the Lions' legs.

10332 LEGO Icons Medieval Town Square / 3304 pieces Yes!!!!! 👍 First part, quite high (look at the prelim, plus the fact that LEGO has included knights in all civilian Medieval sets in the 21st century); second part, TBD (it really depends upon whether we get a new faction in the Majisto GWP, IMO).

This. 👍 For anyone who wants Dragons Rising Nya without having to buy the temple, markets, or 4+ set, her pieces (along with those of the other Dragons Rising Minifigs) are now available on PaB. The gold Imperium guards and claw hunters can be cobbled together as well, for those in the US who want to army-build them (no Imperium swords, though, for some reason 🫤).

Purple air tanks are back in stock, along with orange ones (from the City exploration sets). The medium azure diving helmets could be useful, the City exploration torsos look sleek and sci-fi enough at least for cyberpunk streetwear, and the Imperium Minifig parts (from Ninjago) are very sci-fi!

That would be a perfect GWP!

There apparently is quite little, per Matthew Ashton: "Also, I have been asked a lot recently if there is an overall story arc for the Agents theme… i.e a master plan for Dr. Inferno to take over the world etc. To which the answer is ….no. When we tested Agents we found, with this theme in particular, it actually worked best not to do so. We designed the products as a series of mini missions, like “steal the Diamond back”, “retrieve the Treasure Map”, “rescue an Agent”, to act as little story starters for the kids, who can then tie them together to create their own master plans. During testing kids were like, “OMG that’s so cool, the diamond in the little set is like a special power source, the bad guys need to get hold of it, to put it inside the Laser Cannon in the Volcano to make it even more powerful!” etc, etc."

So Wolverine, Cyclops, and Magneto are the only confirmed characters, then? I can see either Jean or Rogue as the fourth, with Jean being more likely (due to the movies).

Also, if Keanu played Revan in a hologram or flashback, who would play him in an Old Republic era show/movie? Keanu is almost 60 and he still looks basically like he did decades ago, so Lucasfilm would be painting themselves into a corner if they ever want to use the character again. IMO, if they decide to have Revan show up in The Acolyte, they should keep the mask on and have their voice be modulated (with a voice actor in the role). So are we getting Darth Malak instead of, or in addition to, Revan? OH GOD IT IS THE PLUSHIE. . .

The GE is the only one that lends itself to multiples (I can see getting a second EF, but just buying the necessary parts to expand the fort and army-building Bluecoats on BrickLink is cheaper and more efficient).

Source? While there was a rumour that Keanu Reeves would be playing Revan in The Acolyte, it has not been substantiated. Also, that just sounds like hopeful fancasting to me. 🫤

Maybe the Thanos head? That is roughly the same size as the animals' heads seem to be, and it would allow for customisable hair/headgear.

This seems unlikely, since the target market for the Majisto's Workshop GWP would probably have already bought those sets!
