I'm going to post this as a potential spoiler for season 3, I'll remove the image if necessary, keeping in mind it's not water marked and TLG has previously allowed Lego Ambassadors to post cancelled sets like 77014. I don't feel like I'm missing much because of its cancellation. It reminds me of the top level of Ninjago modular sets, it's not me. I don't mind stickers normally but the 9 2x2 tile grids look like alignment sticker hell.

July BAM figures Not much new here other than the wetsuit torso, printed surfboard and dark blue/yellow dual moulded legs. The Encanto and Wicked hair and the pineapple printed torso are reused parts along with all the heads, double bass and peach. The Halloween BAM figures were provided by Lego to the Instagramer, so they're not leaks. The witch hat/hair combo is not the same one from the Hocus Pocus set because it's missing the printing on the band and appears to be orange and not dark orange. But it's good to get the previously 'licensed' black cat from the same set. I thought the ghost lady's head might be a reuse from one of the Harry Potter Hogwarts ghosts but it looks like I'm wrong on that. It does look familiar.

Just quoting my post from the BAM thread in case people haven't seen it and are interested in the Dreamzzz minifigs:

It's probably time to post an image on the June BAM here since they're available in stores now, I have them already. Taken from jaysbrickblog because they're arranged in the "correct" suggest build. The unique parts are: Izzie's torso Izzie's skirt is new in coral Logan's torn shirt torso Logan's tail is new in dark azure Bright light blue classic space torso I think the eye print on Z-Blob's head is new, the slime isn't Z-Blob wrestler torso Reddish orange pirate torso From what I can tell the denim vest torso is just this printed torso with bare yellow arms and black hands so it can be classified as new unless it's been in a recent City release I haven't seen yet. Also Logan's dual moulded legs surprisingly haven't yet been released on PAB yet, so at least it's a way to source them.

Yes you're right, it's not the same situation. And nowhere did I write that death night troopers don't "deserve" their set. The time for Pre-Mor Security in an advent calendar has passed, it was specific to 2022-23 when the parts (hat and torso) were already in production, it would be silly to want or expect Lego to bring them back now. The comment was tongue in cheek ("I'm holding my breath for") and clarified in the next sentence. I was referring to a comment about troops nobody wants multiples of. I'm the weirdo that wanted multiples of Pre-Mor Security and Bespin Guards, of which I'm happy to have gotten multiples of because of the 2016 advent calendar. I did not know there was a second season or film in (presumably pre-production) the making, I stand corrected. Hopefully the battlepack is still in production when they are released.

I swear I memory holed seeing the 75412 battleback when the confidential watermark leaks occurred, but seeing the latest leak I'm a bit confused and disappointed. I'm not ordinarily one to wishlist what battlepacks should be but I'm a bit baffled that Lego went with uber scene specific death troopers (and stormtroopers) and I'm glad to read I'm not the only one. I get they're from Ahsoka, a series I've not seen, but I think a more generic troop battlepack with plain death troopers from Andor/Rogue One/Mandolorian would be more ideal. I don't even have a horse in this race, I've got enough death troopers from 2017 but if you're going to go to the effort of bringing back a troop I'd still like people to be able to get a more multipurpose and in demand version. I'm still holding my breath for a Pre-Mor Security Officer (i.e. Corpo Syril with a different head) to show up in an advent calendar. Note: it didn't happen in 2022 or 2023 so I know it's not happening now but if a Bespin Guard can be included and it still be one of the best advent calendars, why not Pre-Mor Security? For everyone bemoaning the lack of TIE Avenger so far, with 75393, 75347 and 75348 (retired but still available where I am) all on the shelves I think Lego was smart to go with the U-Wing for now until there's a bit more room for another TIE variant in the line-up. Hopefully the not too distant future.

Following up on this post from January.... I still don't own 71487 but I only just discovered the shade of the Mateo figure is bright green, so anything I said about green air tanks and helmets doesn't really apply. Something that is hard to tell in a brightly lit photo. The helmet is a bit harder to come by too. On the subject of mistakes, embarrassingly, I completely missed that the dark pink recolour of Zoey's hair is originally from Doey, a figure I own. It wasn't done for BAM, why didn't anyone point this out? :P

I decided I wanted to save the Gaming Tower description text for posterity in case a leaked image does not eventuate. I've transcribed the image:

I'm not at all surprised by the Gaming Tower cancellation but I am a little surprised there are 5 sets planned for next January. 71501 was priced at $180 USD, I think their direct sales data for Castle Nocturnia or lack thereof would have contributed to them not proceeding with production. Which means I won't hold my breath for the 2026 sets, they'll also have been designed but not yet manufactured so anything could transpire. edit: 71495 Mateo vs Cyber Brain Mech has just leaked. It's about what you'd expect for a literal Cyber Brain Mech parts and design wise. What's interesting is it includes the Mateo from the Gaming Tower leaked description, with the rubber cape and trans green arm and leg. So we won't be left wondering about that one. It looks very interesting.

Better pics via @legofiesta It appears so. A thought it was bit random to bring back trans clear wings from 2013, they must be in a current Disney set that I'm not familiar with. Well close, they're in 21342 Ideas The Insect Collection. Although BAM introduced a brand new trans light blue glitter recolour in 2024 Question about the black martial arts gi. It's new right? My first impression was it's another Ninjago torso reused in BAM like this one. But I was probably thinking of this this. Then I saw the tiger on on the back and as a companion piece it makes me think of Cobra Kai in the same way S20 Martial Arts Boy is 'inspired by' Daniel LaRusso.

Please post a photo or link when possible, these pictures are fair game as the BAM figures have been found in store: A close up of the Redbeard 2x3 tile: I have no idea what is happening in the image, is that smoke? Interesting things of note: Apart from the Cockatoo from CMF S27 the backwards hat is the same as the longboarder. The leg with cast are mid legs if it wasn't obvious The rosy, freckled cheeks, braces head is from the CMF S22 Girl with Foal and has since been reused in other holiday/promo sets. All the heads look to me to be from existing sets. Coral beanie is from Friends. I love the magenta chili costume recolour but nothing else about him is new. I probably shouldn't have bought so many S27 Pirate Quartermasters. BAM is a money blackhole, so many new parts in 4 months.

Nice. I'm not a big fan of the newer style space helmets, plain motorcycle helmets 'til I die! I've been meaning to bricklink some trans neon orange Ice Planet visors since this torso became available but they're just not that abundant where I am. Great job, the arrangement of the 2x1 trans red tiles of the official set just doesn't look right.

Like this? And this? Sorry I'm not trying to pick on you ;) When I first saw pictures of S27 I wasn't thrilled with the Quartermaster, I felt the torso looked too similar to the D&D Elf Bard and I would have liked more pirate-y head wear, but since owning it I really like. There's been a few Pirate CMFs over the years and I like that they're quite different from each other. I've found the Scallywag the least reusable. Bring back the Fortune Teller hair/bandana though! It's probably retired and these days Lego would do it dual moulded rather than printing the bandana. edit: As I hit post I remembered there's the One Piece bandana/hair combo to look forward to, that will come with the One Piece sets. Google "One Piece Lego leak" and you should be able to find it. Agreed, I hope Lego reserves the hook hand and peg leg for iterations of Redbeard, if I want to add them to a pirate minifigure, I can. I'm more interested in having pirates that look like seafarers and merchants that plunder treasure when the Imperials aren't looking :D This torso and the BAM legs have been a windfall. As for skulls and crossbones and stripey shirts, I've got enough vintage pirate minifigures for that.

No, you are not alone. Those are also my two favourite Dreamzzz sets.
