    If it's not an all-star series, and if it is called an anniversary series, I wonder what could it be? S18 was similar in both of these regards. I don't think they'll want to do something redundant. I agree with Roebuck that updated versions of classic characters like the S19 Johnny Thunder would be a possibility, but as he mentioned we'd have expected them to save him for such a series. How about counterparts for figures that haven't had any? Something like recolors, gender swaps, or figures that compliment popular figures? For instance, a blue spaceman in the style of the S1 spaceman.

    Well, with the SDCC 2014 Rocket he showed up in a polybag eventually. I would expect something similar since it is the only precedent we have.

    Ooooooh I missed that! Nice! Crossing my fingers! If this figure remained exclusive, it would break the pattern: historically the only minifigs that remain exclusive are the ones that come separately, not the ones in exclusive sets. (The exception would be last year's Aquaman, who doesn't include exclusive pieces anyways). The guy is trying to sell his 6 minifigs on BL for a non-negligible price. He didn't have Rambeau last time I checked. I don't think he got them from the set. Also, he didn't reply when someone asked if they'll come in an upcoming set...

    So over on Instagram some guy posted pictures of multiple Vers minifigs from the SDCC 2019 exclusive. Since we expected it to pop up in some polybag or set, is this likely an indication that it will indeed be widely available?

    Awww man, Rebirth Superman is such a disappointment... Why would Lego make a semi complete first appearance JL lineup without the first version of the first superhero? Especially when we could've gotten rebirth Supes in a set... Also TDKR Joker with no corresponding Batman? I almost want to believe they are saving stuff for a second series because otherwise some selections do not make sense.

    Don't do that... Don't give me hope... Actually the fact that Playmobil is making some BTTF sets seems like a good sign to me. Some here mentioned that after 2015 BTTF would not be of interest because the "future" and the 30th anniversary were over. I'd love for a UCS style DeLorean in the style of Dave Slater's. It's also a shame that we never got minifigs of Doc and Marty in 2015 and 1885 attire. We'll see.

    So over on Instagram FalconFan has revealed that the DC series will be sold at $5 a pop. How does Lego justify this 20% increase? We've gone from $2 to $5 in 9 years! I understand that the designs are more complex now than in 2010, but even then I fail to see what possibly justifies this recent price hike. The wishful thinker in me hopes this price is only for the DC comics series, but the past price increases suggest otherwise.

    I don't know why some keep saying no one wants a first appearance Superman. I for one wanted it before this series was even announced. Heck, why would people pay >$100 for Christo's version if there wasn't a market for it? Furthermore people are happy about the first appearance Batman, so it's far fetched to claim nobody would want Supes...

    I don't see an issue with Lego reusing a print where it makes sense, especially if we are just talking about an exposed torso. They're not being lazy, so I don't understand how they are "getting away with it" in any way, as though reusing a print in a single piece in the whole series was a sign of mediocrity.

    I've wondered about this but more generally if we were to get a Mr. Gold rerelease. Would they get backlash from people that have it who don't want it to become less rare? I hope not. I think it would be nice if they gave more people the opportunity to complete their CMF collections. And by this point I hope that the backlash they initially received will mean that we won't ever get a CMF that is rarer than one per box. I for one would like an opportunity to complete my S10 collection, but it is likely just wishful thinking.
  11. 1980-Something-Space-Guy
    How about if they go meta again? Perhaps a Lego minifigure collector?
  12. 1980-Something-Space-Guy
    I'd very much like that. Not enough female space figs exist!
  13. 1980-Something-Space-Guy
    Yeah, I'm torn because I want to complete the character lineup from S1, but the secondary market prices for exclusive minifigs have lately been a little silly.
  14. 1980-Something-Space-Guy
    Yeah, I feel a bit of the same. Some of the city figs are a bit underwhelming since we have already had multiples of similar figures (looking at you, firefighter). At the same time there are some I'm excited about. I'd rate this series average or slightly below average in my overall Series rankings. My opinion could change with high-res pics, though!

    This 16, 17, 18 is a true mystery... Didn't the leaked catalog from months ago show 17?
  16. 1980-Something-Space-Guy
    Oh snap! Hope it comes soon!
  17. 1980-Something-Space-Guy
    What a tease. Whoever took these pictures had access to the whole leaflet!
  18. 1980-Something-Space-Guy
    That is insane! With this and the Batman 80th anniversary sets, it is becoming hard for me to keep up with the theme!
  19. 1980-Something-Space-Guy
    Lego being evil geniuses: the gems in this set are the ones missing from the Avengers compound set, and vice versa! I looooove that Stark Gauntlet! It exceeds any expectations I might've had if I had known this set was coming!
  20. 1980-Something-Space-Guy
    A space character? That would make me so happy! But I'll try to keep my excitement in check while we see how reliable this new leaker is.
  21. 1980-Something-Space-Guy
    I am skeptical because I haven't heard of this user before, but thebrickbank on Instagram has posted some supposed rumors for S19. Again, not sure if this is reliable info, but he mentions a pizza suit guy, butler, chef, basketball player, dentist, and miner with pickaxe. Supposedly silver packaging. The chef wouldn't make sense to me since we already had that figure in S17. Thoughts?
  22. 1980-Something-Space-Guy
    Could we take a closer look at the custom RR and VV minifigs? I've wanted some for a while! Are they machine or pad printed?
  23. 1980-Something-Space-Guy
    I tried a couple of times yesterday and got it cancelled at 2 different Walmarts. When I went to make another order to pick up at another Walmart, the old link did not work anymore. Perhaps they have corrected the inventory error and that is why they don't let it be ordered anymore. It's annoying because finding polybags can be such a damn hassle!
  24. 1980-Something-Space-Guy
    Hey could you provide the link where you ordered it for pickup? I can only find the option to buy from those ToyWiz scammers through Walmart.
  25. 1980-Something-Space-Guy
    It's different. Sadly that figure's cape was unique (check out Bricklink's notes on it), and I don't think we'll ever see it again. Best we can do is get the replica. Looks good, but not quite the same if a nostalgic and faithful recreation is what you're after. :(
