We got red epaulettes on the governor/admiral in 2009, so LEGO may have also wanted to differentiate Pirates III from Pirates II (as they released only six years apart).

Dreamzzz spacebus:

First look at the Dreamzzz sharkship: It seems that the ship may have a sail.

I am not sure that I can link it, but it is on Reddit (just Google “LEGO Dreamzzz sticker”; it is the first image result).

My guess as well. We also see Matteo (I assume) in Kai’s dream with Jack’s hair/cap piece from Hidden Side recoloured in blue.

Ah - We agree, but I misunderstood you! 👍 I agree. I doubt that we will get dual-moulded legs, though red epaulettes are probably likely. White epaulettes were extremely rare at the time, so perhaps that was a factor?

Links to the other three videos: There is an entire pirate ship on top of the shark, not just engines on the fins.

That baby dragon is adorable! The other three Dreamzzz teasers are up on LEGO’s YouTube: Considering the Merge, I doubt that Dreamzzz will take place in one of the Ninjago theme’s Realms. That said, if these promos are canon, it would mean that the dreamworld is accessible from the Ninjago universe. 🤔

I mean that LEGO has now found a way to successfully revive classic themes/sets. Multiple interviews with Mike Psiaki (here and here, for example):

I doubt it; one of the hints in the 2-truths-1-lie was that the Cloud Kingdom will be getting an Elemental Master, and Arin seems to be from Ninjago. I do think that the Elemental Master that emerges from the Cloud Kingdom will have the element of wind, though.

The Model 64 Iron Man looks good, and I am particularly happy that they did not lock an MCU must-have (e.g. Stealth Suit Cap) behind a $50 book!

The only way that I see us getting a new Gauntlet in the next few years is if it is a Minifig-scaled UCS (see Slave I, second Falcon, Razor Crest, AT-AT, etc). This would be a very large set (if truly Minifig scale), as the Gauntlet is over 52 meters long (for comparison, the Falcon is only around 35m!).

We know that this is the case - One of the designers of the Medieval Blacksmith started looking through redesigns of classic Castle factions that he had made just for fun as soon as the model was approved. LEGO has solved this problem now; the lack of grandeur is generally a scaling and detail issue (as explained by one of the Galaxy Explorer's designers), so modern remakes are larger and have more intricate/textured construction.

I did, but I could not find episode descriptions. What site did you find them on?

Source code also gave us the "Ninjago United" name, though. 🤔 Perhaps the show is being renamed to "Ninjago United" (which makes sense given the Merge), and the season title is "Dragons Rising".

The new helmet mould is not actually larger, but the holes can make it look larger from some angles. Agreed. Maybe something like a $150 Gozanti with Moff (spoiler outfit), Elia Kane (S2 Imperial uniform), Axe Woves (S3 chestplate), Bo-Katan (silver pauldron print), a generic Imperial and/or Koska Reeves? 🤔

The version of S.W.O.R.D. seen in Wandavison is basically just MCU-ified US Space Force. Not likely, since none of the S.A.B.E.R. personnel seen in the trailer have S.W.O.R.D. logos on their uniforms (or logos of any kind, which is odd for a Marvel agency). If "S.A.B.E.R." were just the name of the station, then it would more likely have been denoted as a S.W.O.R.D. base via the on-screen text (and probably be called "the Saber"), featured S.W.O.R.D. logos somewhere in the station or on the uniforms, and would not have been punctuated (suggesting that "S.A.B.E.R." is an acronym). Also, since this station is probably where we saw Fury at the end of FFH (and where Monica was taken to work with him and the Skrulls at the end of Wandavision), it cannot be affiliated with S.W.O.R.D. (since the two organisations must have existed concurrently).

PoBB had only been retired for about six months when the anniversary sets released, which may have been why LEGO did not give us a Pirates set for the 90th (TBH, the new Eldorado Fortress feels like a delayed anniversary set, as the other two (Castle and Space) were also remakes of classic sets).

That DSII looks bad. It would be fine for a polybag, but not as $150 promo! I need all of these - Especially a Battle Pack (maybe a 3/1 figure split?)!

Not likely. We got the Castle in the Forest BDP set and the Lions' Castle 90th Anniversary set, so there is precedent for LEGO releasing similar sets around the same time. Additionally, I believe that most if not all of the BrickLink Pirates entries focused on the pirates themselves (rather than the imperials), so LEGO may not see a pirate island and an imperial fort as competing products (especially since the BDP sets are a limited release).

The character on the left is Arin, the one on the right is probably the catgirl, and the one in the centre appears to have Nelson's hair. 🤔

The trailer for The Marvels looks great! Both of Monica's costumes seem to match u/FluffySky6's description of a Minifig that looked like an update of CMF Monica, so we could be getting either of them. The S.A.B.E.R. space station looks like it will be the MCU version of the Peak (S.W.O.R.D.'s comic headquarters), and I am wondering if S.A.B.E.R. will be the MCU equivalent of the comics' S.W.O.R.D. (since S.W.O.R.D. in the MCU is nothing like its comic counterpart). 🤔

Interesting - Where did you find this?

What about it? Mon should absolutely not be a promo! She is both too important as a character and appears too often (RotJ, Rebels, R1, Andor, Ahsoka) to be an exclusive. There are plenty of sets that she could appear in, such as Rebel/NR starfighters, dioramas ("Many Bothans died. . . "), etc. Maybe an obscure-but-popular Clone? 🤔
