    I feel like Portal is enough of a classic that it could happen, but I do agree it seems a little more likely to be something more relevant.

    Oh yeah I meant it as a new mold. I do agree it would be a bit strange for him to hold it in one hand, but I think that's just one of those design language things you have to accept isn't gonna translate into Lego, like with the noses. Ultimately I'm not too broken up about it but I don't think we're going to be getting that many more Ocarina of Time sets (even if every future Zelda set were based on it, it's still looking like it probably won't be more than once a year), so I'm just being greedy and wishing we could have had as much as possible since there may not be another opportunity for a while.

    Yeah the Biggoron Sword is the biggest omission imo, I'm not as bothered by the lack of stuff that was already in the Deku Tree, but this seems like it would have been the perfect scene to include it. I also think it should have included the Ocarina of Time so you can recreate the scene from afterwards with Link and Zelda, but again, not as big an issue since its available elsewhere.

    Looks like I missed it, still have only seen a super low res pic so far. I like what I've heard though, definitely interested (assuming I end up having that much money to drop on a Lego this year, which is a very big assumption haha). I think ideally we'd just get another set to bulk up the roster, but yeah, if this is all that we're getting (which seems likely going by precedent), then I do wish it would have included a few more minifigures.

    Don't have much to add regarding the Smart Bricks (I don't care about them at all but I suppose that's the majority opinion here). One thing I will say, though, is why did they make the technic bits on the yoda set black??? I guess maybe they don't make them clear but that would have made so much more sense.

    I was a bit put off by it at first (perhaps because I have been a Zelda fan longer than a Lego fan?), but I think it'd feel kind of weird to me either way. A lot of characters in OoT have relatively prominent noses, including Link and Zelda, so while Ganondorf's is more noticeable, it'd be weird to only give him one imo. Anyways, with regards to the speculation on the overall direction of this theme, my guess is that it's probably just going to go in the same direction as Lord of Rings. Just hoping they bump it up to one set per year.

    I don't think it's totally out of the realm of possiblity that we get something given Maul's perennial popularity, but I'm not exactly expecting it since TBB got nothing for season three. Also just feels like the kind of thing that'd have been leaked by now if it was happening but idk, we'll see.
  8. Meaf
    That would be absolutely terrible but at this point nothing seems out of the question. I'd guess we're still getting at least a few normal sets though, just seems crazy to leave everyone uninterested in Smart Bricks out to dry.
  9. Meaf
    Wow that looks great. Ganondorf looks a bit weird without a nose, but it'd also be weird if he had one and no one else did, so I can live with it. Aside from that I have no big complaints, it could be a little cheaper but it still doesn't seem too unreasonable for what you get (at least relative to other licensed themes).

    Do we have any solid information on when the next wave is coming out, or is it just "some time later this year (probably summer)"?
  11. Meaf
    I always liked the fresh start of a new thread each year, but I wouldn't say I have particularly strong feelings on the matter, so I'm not going to be heartbroken if we just keep using this one.
  12. Meaf
    Seeing the sets pretty much just solidified how I felt when we first got descriptions (namely that the starters should have been separate sets), although Pikachu also looks kinda bad imo. Also also the bases for Pikachu and the starters feel a bit like they're mostly just there to jack up the price, although I won't deny that they look nice. I dunno, I love Pokemon and I'm glad they're doing a Lego line, but none of these sets interest me at all. Hopefully the rest of the year's sets are a little more exciting.
  13. Meaf
    My guess is that it's because of his only set also includes a big fig, which tend to be fairly desirable? But even that doesn't fully explain it, cause Killow is $120 and the one from Skybound that I forgot the name of is around $20 last I checked. None of the other Sons of Garmadon minifigures are too expensive either afaik, so maybe that set just had a really limited production for whatever reason.
  14. Meaf
    I think the thing that just fundamentally seems like it will completely kneecap the smart sets are the prices. The builds being shitty might not be a huge issue for a lot of kids, but any kid old enough to have even the most rudimentary understanding of money will look at a smart set and another set of the same price, then pick the latter because it's like twice as big. I guess maybe the market is just supposed to be young kids? But even then you still have to factor in parents, who obviously are going to be paying attention to the prices (especially in this economy). Just cannot see how these things will take off, at least as things stand.
  15. Meaf
    I wouldn't think so either, I just find it suspect that we've had probably in the ballpark of ten villain dragons over the years (I don't have time to check RN but I can think of like five off the top of my head) versus just the two big snakes. Dragons might just be more interesting for kids since they have more points of articulation, I guess? Idk
  16. Meaf
    This is a great idea, a larger take in particular could be really cool. I'm guessing the giant snakes don't sell particularly well though considering they've only ever done that what, twice? You'd think they'd come up more often with how many waves of snake villains we've had. But anyway yeah I'm hoping it's this.

    Finished building the Ninjago City Workshops yesterday, anyone have any suggestions on how to fit all the City sets together? Currently trying to figure out a nice layout that includes all five (not that I have room to keep them connected but I'd like to get some pictures at least).
  18. Meaf
    Not sure if anyone else has seen the piece count leaks for summer 2026 yet, but apparently Ninjago is getting four sets with over 1000 pieces? Obviously we need more details but just judging by this it looks like most of the sets for this wave are going to be pretty big.
  19. Meaf
    Wait that's so funny, I actually find that I tend to agree with most of points lmao. I just often don't respond to stuff cause I feel that others have already said what I'd say or that the conversation itself is mostly done. Also sometimes I might have something else to add but I don't because it's not really relevant to the topic of Lego Star Wars. But anyway no I wasn't intentionally ignoring you, I don't think I have beef like that with anyone on this site (at least as far as I know ). With regards to 2026, are we expecting to see any more sets any time soon? I kinda figured we wouldn't see M&G stuff until we're closer to the movie, but I can't remember if there's even anything else upcoming beyond that that we haven't already seen.
  20. Meaf
    Oh that's funny, never realized we hadn't before Also wow I totally forgot about the V-19. I wouldn't say it's super high on my priority list but it is a pretty nice set with good minifigures and a decent price, so I could see myself being tempted in the future if I see it for cheap. Also also forgot the zombie troopers pack, I'll probably get that relatively soon.
  21. Meaf
    I asked for the U-Wing as a gift but if I don't end up receiving it I'll probably just buy it myself since I've seen it on sale lately. Aside from that I probably won't grab anything else from Star Wars, except maybe the yellow clone pack if it goes really cheap.
  22. Meaf
    I think that's a great idea, hopefully it's something like that. Honestly even something similar to the 25th anniversary figs would be good, in my opinion the real issue there was just the execution being a little stupid since some of those characters could have shown up in regular sets and I don't think anyone was too interested in Kid Leia. Gold minifigures would just seem like such a waste of a new design when that effort could go into a character we don't have yet.
  23. Meaf
    Wow the Old Town looks great. Looks like it's absolutely packed with details and that's just from the pictures we have right now. Also pretty impressed by the minifigures, a lot of times they end up being kind of meh when you get so many in one set (especially nowadays) but they largely look really good. There are also just tons of notable characters from the show which is awesome. All around seems like a great set and pretty worthy of the pricetag, which is nice since you can't always say that about modern D2Cs.
  24. Meaf
    I think it's pretty likely we get one for TotK sooner or later given its massive popularity, maybe in 2027? I'm guessing the wait between the OoT final battle and whatever we (hopefully) get next won't be quite as long since they already know these sets sell really well.
  25. Meaf
    I did a quick search but I couldn't find it either. I remember exactly which one you're talking about though, and I'd be very curious to see how 2026 stacks up (based on what we know so far). I imagine the smart brick figs could bump up the count a bit but I guess those don't really count for most people on this forum.
