  1. Apparently the dimensions are insane as well. The thing is almost a meter tall (83cm, 33 inches), and 18 inches wide, or 45cm. I can't got it, but I 100% would if I had the time and space.
  2. Depending on how the rest of the sub theme turns out, I may very well get the whole thing. I like that they are going far more sci-fi after last years sets were made directly in correlation with NASA. I am worried about the sheer amount of space it looks like the space station will take up though. I wish they had used the ring's budget to instead create a few different transition modules to really optimise the modularity of the set. Hopefully other sets in the wave will use the same system.
  3. A cheap set with Bowser in it? I don't have any of the other Mario Sets, but sign me up for one of those!
  4. Exactly, the problem is is that the minifigures are the things we have the most concrete images of, so naturally that's what people will focus on. The rest of the images are still fuzzy enough that a lot can be left to the imagination.
  5. That’s weird. One thing I’ll say is that it’s weird that on both this and the bugle, the characters who are most associated with the buildings aren’t on the front of the box in minfig form. That feels like a major flaw in the packaging.
  6. The reason for that is that they were displaying the figures for each film represented in the set. This box contains both Chitari and Ultron, meaning it isn’t bothering with that, so what we see is probably what we get. (I don’t think the bugle had any missing figures, did it?)
  7. If they did this, I would want to see something where the explosion includes all of the parts necessary to build it intact, like with the Bugle.
  8. Really interesting how every Marvel set this wave is a semi display piece. All of them look really good. the endgame and NWH final battles are both going to have to be must buys, and the groot gimmick is super clever, although I'm still not sure on it's target audience. I also note they are getting their milage out of that portal build.
  9. Sets are leaking right now. Yavin 4: Pretty sure it's 4+ or 6+ so because it looks very simple and is on the same page as the 4+ sets. Yoda's Starfighter: Very Squat, as it should be. Vaughn and 332nd Swamp Speeder: looks good but that price... for that? It's from either an instruction manual or a catalogue. Whelp... Just the September sets to go.
  10. Honestly this was received far better than I expected. I'll probably pick up 2 of the stormtrooper ones on sale, cause I kind of like the idea of have giant generic stormtroopers. Boba looks great, but Vader feels more like an afterthought than anything. He desperately needs some sort of cape to fill him out.
  11. She's spring green, so take that as you will.
  12. 19th of may for US, I think. 2 weeks.
  13. Want to point out that the guards for the palace have lobster and crab heads. That is all.
  14. Is it just me, or do these sets really feel like Lego Movie sets, with the way they fuse things together to create absurd things. I mean, the theme even has a 2 in 1 feature similar to the original movie's transformations of ordinary settings into battle machines. I'm starting to think that themes like this might be an outlet for the designers to really get creative in comparison to the usual vehicles, animals and locations that come up over and over again. I'll definitely get Z-Blob, but I need to see the Ninjago sets before I make any other decisions.
  15. I didn't miss it, it's just that it's really no longer an issue for them. we live in a world were Iron man, captain America, Thor and even Star-lord get new faces every second year. I will admit though, after looking at the alternate expression it does fit far better than I thought.
  16. At least Ant-man and venom make sense, even if they are ugly. Why do female licensed characters have a selection of like, 3 faces?
  17. It will be... just not for Marvel...
  18. Cap looks... weird, but with Wolverine's cowl there had to be a better way, because that might be the ugliest build lego marvel has put out in years. Dude looks like a bull, and it honestly makes him feel like a totally different character, which despite their flaws I can't say about any of the other figures. Welp, for all those who wanted X-men '97 sets... there's your lot I suppose. Y'all got the Quantumania treatment, but at least most of those characters had appeared in other sets.
  19. Honestly, this is the only one of the 3 that actually looks decent to me, and I think it's down solely to the cape filling out his silhouette.
  20. I mean, we're still getting the set, just under a different set number and with The Joker instead of the Flash.
  21. Yeah, that's the one. It was being shared by an account along with the other leaks.
  22. Very blurry Ninjago set has leaked on instagram, not sure if it's legit or not, but I think it's the Temple of the Dragon Energy Core, judging by the GIANT ORB in the centre.The first half of the year was pretty easy on me, 4 marvel, 1 Ninjago and 4 Marvel, but between this, the Star Wars sets and potentially the Dreamzzz sets, this is going to be a hard year. Whatever the heck that blurry set is, I'm all for what I'm seeing. Looks like around 60% of the build will be devoted to the actual temple, with 40% going to that ship. I love the tail of the ship, and the set seems to include 5 golden characters (probably the ninja except Lloyd or Nya), and a Minifig in white, probably Wu. On the subject of the Bounty, I definitely think it will have detachable segments, I just hope they don't end up being as compromised and pointless as the Bowie's were, because they definitely seem to be pulling something similar here. I will probably buy it, unless the missing segments are a full on dragon, in which case that would probably be a dealbreaker. Honestly, the combination between the gardens and the market might just cause me to break my oath to not spent over $200 on a single set. I need to stay strong...
  23. That Eggman... is not a bigfig. It has posable legs, and that's an automatic disqualification.
  24. One Minifigure from a series would be difficult to change this late in the game, and there is a difference in that this version of Kang has already appeared, while the Flash is yet to come out. Meanwhile the Flash is the main focus of the set, being branded for him. Let's not forget also that unlike Miller, Major's case has not concluded, and that would factor heavily in lego's decision making.
