Indeed. That makes me wonder what her alternate face is, if she has one. I guess we'll find out tomorrow. Yes, it's all regular buildable Lego. No Kragle included.

Disney Collectible Minifigures Series 1 Discussion
Oky replied to just2good's topic in LEGO Licensed
Why? What does that series have to do with this one? I don't see why they couldn't have a Native American in both series, although I wouldn't count on Tiger Lily to show up either way considering the rather controversial depiction of the natives in Peter Pan. Of course we are! That's what rumor discussion topics are for, isn't it?- 4,155 replies

It's almost here! Just to fuel the hype train, here's a scan of the awesome exclusive print that they gave out at the Lego Dimensions demo back at SDCC: Lego Dimensions: Portal vs. Doctor Who by Okay Yaramanoglu, on Flickr By the way, I don't know if it has been mentioned, but the Lego Stores will have double VIP points October 1-4, so if you can wait a few days, you could save 10%.

So we finally get the first trailer for this movie. Looks kinda cute actually. It wont win any Oscars, but it certainly doesn't look like it deserves all the hate it is getting in my opinion.

Thanks everyone! Perhaps you're right, maybe I was a bit too harsh on this set. Don't get me wrong, it's not a bad set, especially compared to some other sets we have gotten in this price range, but somehow I was still expecting more. I still have not seen it actually (and I don't ever plan to). So don't worry, no Okys were harmed in the making of this review. Yes, the whole Doctor Doom/Fant4stic thing was obviously a joke. Everybody knows what Doctor Doom is supposed to look like, except for the makers of Fant4stic apparently. There's not much to say really. Doom in USM looks just like he does in the comics, and Lego recreated that look perfectly. Again, he's definitely the best part of this set.

It is no secret that Marvel is one of the most successful companies right now. From the Avengers to the X-Men and down to even the most obscure characters like Ant-Man, every one of their movies has been a big hit until now. The latest Marvel movie, Fant4stic, was released last month and while I have not seen it yet, I'm sure it's just as great as their other movies. I mean, it has the word "Fantastic" in the title after all! And being the smart business that they are, The Lego Company decided to get in on the hype early and capitalize on this movie's undoubtful success two years in advance by making a set featuring Fant4stic's main villain, Dr. Doom. Now that's what I call forward thinking! But did they do a good job with it or were they being overhasty? Let's find out! Set Number: 76005 Name: Spider-Man: Daily Bugle Showdown Theme: Marvel Super Heroes Subtheme: Ultimate Spider-Man Year of Release: 2013 Pieces: 476 Minifigs: 5 Price: $49.99 USD S@H description: The first thing that comes to mind after reading this description is: Wow, that's a lot of TMs! Anyway, here are some resource links for this set: Brickset Bricklink Rebrickable The Box Since this set is based on the Ultimate Spider-Man cartoon, the box has the usual USM design with the red Marvel Super Heroes background, an illustration of Spidey in the upper right corner, and the USM logo in the lower right. As usual, there is a minifig line up in the lower left, and since this was before the terrible redesign, you can see the full body of the minifigs. I really miss this type of line up. There is quite a lot going on here: Doctor Doom attacking the Daily Bugle in his jet while simultaneously reaching for J. Jonah Jameson below with his jet's claw, Spider-Man (reluctantly) swings in to save him, while Nova fights off the Beetle. It's a pretty cool scene, even though it's not very accurate to the show. In "Beetle Mania", the episode that this set is based on, the Beetle was indeed out to kill JJJ, but it was in order to stop him from exposing his identity, not Spider-Man's (although Spidey was next on JJJ's list). And while he is a recurring villain on the show, Doctor doom had nothing to do with this plot and didn't even appear in the episode aside from a brief cameo. It's awesome that they included him anyway, though, so I'm not gonna complain. Note that the tower is so tall that it wraps around the top of the box. There, you can also see a scale reference with the Spider-Man minifig. On the back of the box, you can see the interior of the Bugle and all of its play features which there are quite a few of since this is a playset. It's all illustrated pretty well, although Lego's choice of sound effects is still a mystery to me. I don't get why they don't go for Spider-Man's signature "Fwip!" instead of "Fazzing!" and I didn't know that a breaking window made the sound "Btoom!" but I digress. Contents Inside the box you will find three instruction booklets (one smaller than the others), a comic book, a fairly large sticker sheet, five numbered bags, and two loose pieces: A white string piece and a gray 16x8 plate. There aren't really any notable pieces and nobody cares about the comic bock (no offense to the artist), so lets get right to the instructions. They are pretty straight forward and easy to follow. Some of the pages have a ghostly image of Spidey, Nova, and Dr. Doom in the top right corner which is fitting since these are all minifigs that appear in this set (which is strangely not something that can be said for many other Super Heroes instructions with this type of artwork). Minifigures As with most Super Heroes sets, most people will get this set mainly for the minifigs, so without further ado, let's talk about them. Spider-Man is the same old bootless one you get in almost every USM set. Not much to say about him. Some might complain that we don't get Spidey's alter ego Peter Parker in this set, but in the USM cartoon, MJ is actually the one who works at the Daily Bugle, not Peter. Curse the creators of this cartoon for ruining our chances of getting a new Peter Parker minifig by trying to mix things up. Next we get J. Jonah Jameson. He appeared in a Spider-Man 2 set before, but this is a complete redesign. He now has a blue suit with a red tie, a unique face print, and that combed-back hair in dark gray. This new hairpiece doesn't suit him at all and the old flat top hair was perfect for him in my opinion, so I don't know why they changed it. The good thing about this change, however, is the fact that this piece is exclusive to this set in that color. Nova on the other hand is spot-on. He comes with a new helmet mold and some nice torso printing. However, he, too, is missing his boots. TLC should have started making dual-colored legs a long time ago. Here are some reference images to compare them to. Okay, so JJJ's hair may not be completely black in the show, but I still think they should have given his minifig a black hairpiece. His suit is also not quite the right color. He rarely appears in person in the show (including the episode this set is based on) and is usually seen on screens around New York, so this is the best picture of him I could find. I guess I should be happy they included a minifig of him at all. In the episode, it was actually Mary Jane who was at the Bugle during Beetle's attack, so it would have made more sense to include her, but we got her in the Spider-copter set one year later, so that's ok. All three of them have back printing. In JJJ's case I'm using that term loosely since it is only comprised of two lines, but it's nice that they went through the trouble of adding them. Both JJJ and Nova come with angry alternate faces. It almost looks like they're trying to out-angry each other. Who do you think looks angrier? Let me know in the comments section below. Now let's talk about the bad guys. Even though he would be better off in a Fantastic Four set, it's great to finally get Victor Van Doom, one of the greatest Marvel villains ever and in comics in general. He comes with a dark green hood which was new and exclusive in that color at the time, and he is the only minifig in this set that has leg printing. Beetle is a regular minifig with wings. The metallic printing on his face and torso is pretty nice, but I wish it would have continued onto his legs as well. The Beetle looks quite accurate to his on-screen counterpart. The only thing that could have improved him is a new helmet mold with pointy eyebrows/antennae. Doctor Doom, however, looks nothing like he does in the movie. I just don't understand how Lego could have messed him up so badly. Maybe they were working off of early concept art or something. Here is a back view of Doom and Beetle. Beetle would be a pretty boring minifig if it wasn't for his wings which are awesome with their holographic texture. They are so mesmerizing, I could look at those things all day. This piece also appeared in trans. light green in the Galaxy Squad sets which came out at the same time. Here they are without their gear. As you can see, they both have back printing as well. And no, Doctor Doom does not come with an alternate facial expression, which is fine since you can't see much of his expressions due to his mask anyway. Here's a look at Dr. Doom and Nova without their headgear. Some say that Doom's face looks too cartoony, but I think it looks fine. Nova is wearing stylish goggles as a way of explaining his white eyes. It's a far better explanation than the Bat-sweatband. They did the same thing with the masked Wolverine later. Here are all the figs with their accessories. JJJ comes with a camera so that he can take "more pictures of Spider-Man!" Beetle comes with one of those overused ADU guns which is a very poor representation of his wrist-mounted blasters. I hate to say it, but even those bulky new stud shooters would have been a better representation of his weapons. Spidey comes with his usual string of webbing and Nova comes with some Iron Man style translucent studs. The weird thing is that they are red while his powers have a blue glow in the show. Doctor Doom sadly doesn't get any accessories, but who needs weapons when you have a jet with a claw and flick-fire missiles. The Build The first bag contains Spider-Man, a brick separator, and the parts to build the ground floor of the DBC building. After a quick and straight-forward build, you get this. The dumpster and street lamp are separate from the building and since the lamp post is not built onto any baseplate and is quite top-heavy, it gets knocked over pretty easily. Maybe it's meant to be that way, but I would have preferred it if you could stick it onto the baseplate of the building on which there is unfortunately not enough space to do so. As you would expect, the second bag has the parts for the first floor of the building. This is also the bag that contains Beetle. After another fairly simple build, you'll find yourself with a two story building with a spiderweb one side and a fire escape on the other. However, you have to apply three stickers during this section of the build which is never fun. Can you guess what's in bag number 3? Yup, the second floor of the building. You don't need superpowers to predict that one. Also, this bag contains Nova and Jameson. The build of this section is a bit repetitive since the second floor is mostly the same as the first and it takes slightly longer to build since you have to build the rooftop as well. Also, in addition to the two window stickers you have to apply ten 2x2 tile stickers! Trying to do this without having any of them being crooked is a real pain in the megablocks. The next bag contains Doctor Doom and the cockpit of his jet. Doom's cape is in the usual square white box and the string for the claw is folded up in a piece of tape. Here's what you get at the end of this section. Looks more like an escape pod than a jet at this point. The final bag is the smallest as it only includes the few parts needed to finish the Doom jet. Once you build the wings and tail, you stick them onto the cockpit via Technic pins and you're done. Spare Parts These are the parts that are left over after the build. There is the brick separator of course, an extra antenna, and the usual little bits and bops. What's really awesome, though, is that they give you an extra pair of Beetle's wings! Considering what a neat piece this is and that this is the only set in which it comes in trans-black make this a very welcome spare that you can use in your customs. The Finished Set Here is the complete set. The DBC building looks quite tall, especially when you count the antenna. Comparing it to a screenshot from the episode, the general look of the building is there, although there are some inaccuracies. Aside from the fact that it is obviously way down-scaled, the screens that show JJJ ranting about Spider-Man should have been hexagonal, not square, and should have wrapped around the building. However, considering how many stickers you would have had to apply if they would have made it accurate, I'm actually glad they kept the screen mercifully small. Much like Doctor Doom himself, the Doom jet didn't actually appear in the Beetle Mania episode. However, it did appear in a later episode titled "Not A Toy" in which Spider-Man plays around with Captain America's shield, accidentally drops it in Doctor Doom's Latvarian embassy and has to try to retrieve it. And yes, that episode was as godawful as it sounds. Here's a screenshot of the jet from that episode. Like with the DBC, they managed to capture the general shape of the vehicle, although it doesn't look quite as good as in the show. The color scheme is too dark and it looks kind of blockier. Let's take a closer look at the jet. There is no real way to reel the claw in unfortunately. However, there is a stud on the back of the jet that you can stick it onto. Needless to say, this is not the ideal way of storing it. I would have much preferred it if they would have attached it onto winch instead. The engines on the wings can be turned, even though they don't turn in the show, and there is a flick-fire missile on each side. Even if it's not much to look at, at least it's a very swooshable vehicle. On top of each wing there is a tile with the emblem of Latvaria. There was no such emplems on the jet in the cartoon, but they are useful pieces that make it clear whose jet it is, so I'm glad they included them. There is nothing inside the cockpit except for a seat and unless you want to ruin Dr. Doom's nice dark green cape, I wouldn't put him inside of it. They could have at least printed a control panel onto that empty 2x2 tile. Play Features Since this is a playset, let's look at all the play features it has to offer. Like all playsets, the building is open in the back so you can play inside. On the ground floor, there is a potted plant and... nothing else. Seriously? Is this all they could come up with for this floor? They could have included a security desk, a lounge, a second plant, or anything else! As it is, it's just a boring empty lobby. The first floor is a bit more interesting. There is a safe, a swiveling chair, and a pin board with various pictures of Spider-Man. There is one tile that reads: "The true identity of Spider-Man" which is supposedly what the villains are after. I wonder how Jameson got this information in the first place. Speaking of Jameson, the second floor is devoted to his office where he can sit and yell at his non-present employees, demanding "more pictures of Spider-Man!" It also has a swiveling chair as well as a desk with a lamp and a computer. There is a Technic beam connecting his desk with the ceiling of the first floor which you can remove in order to take off the upper half of the building, but it's difficult to do, so I don't recommend it. As you may have noticed in the picture above, there are a few red pegs sticking out of the building. These are for triggering the play features. Most of them are on the roof. There is one on what looks like an air conditioning unit. If you place Spider-Man holding is web-string on the jumper plate in front of it and push the peg, Spidey goes bungee-jumping off the building. Wee! There is also one that sticks out of the side of the building which when pulled triggers a trap door. The third red peg on the roof can be used to pop off the DBC sign. Why is it called the DBC, you ask? It stands for Daily Bugle Communications since in this version of Spider-Man, the Daily Bugle is not only a newspaper, but a news TV station as well, one that promotes its own highly biased views. So basically the Fox News of the Marvel universe. I guess if you're an old school Spider-Man fan, you could just leave off the "C" and have it just stand for Daily Bugle. The sign above the main entrance wont be so easily modified however. There is also a peg between the first and second floor which when pushed pops out one of the windows on the first floor. The safe is only attached to a couple of jumper plates and has some jumper plates on top of it as well, so you can easily attach the Doom jet's claw to it and rip it out of the building as seen on the back of the box. There are also some SNOT bricks on the corners of the building that you can attach spiderwebs or Spidey himself onto for some wall-crawling and webslinging action. This is not so much a play feature as it is just a feature, but as I mentioned earlier, there is a fire escape on the left side of the building. This was a neat idea as it helps it feel like a building in New York City, but it is executed very poorly. There is no hole big enough for the minifigs to climb down through, so they would have to climb down the ladders from the outside which makes no sense. No wonder Spider-Man always needs to rescue people from burning buildings. There is one more play feature in the form of the dumpster. You can open the lid, put a minifig inside, and make them jump by hitting a tab in the back. Remember, this is before the introduction of super jumpers, but nevertheless it's a pretty strange place to launch minifigs out of. I guess even Super Heroes like to do some dumpster diving. You don't think this was funny? No? Well, me neither, but that's the type of humor that this show loves to use. Sigh. Anyway, let's get on to the ratings. Ratings Design: 2/5 - The set looks ok. Despite many inaccuracies, the DBC building and the jet somewhat resemble their on-screen counterparts and don't look too bad, but they definitely could be better. Build: 1/5 - A mostly unchallenging and repetitive build with an attrocious amount of stickers. Minifigs: 4/5 - Definitely the strongest point of the set. Some of the figs could be better, but four out of five of them are exclusive to this set. Doctor Doom is easily the best and probably the most desirable one - unless the Fant4stic movie portraits him so badly that nobody will be interested in him, but that's impossible. Playability: 4/5 - As you would expect from a playset, the playability is quite high, although I still feel like there could have been more. Parts: 3/5 - Not many rare parts. If you're looking for parts for building your own skyscraper with tan walls and lots of doors and windows though, this set is for you. Price: 3/5 - At 476 parts for $50, this set is a bit pricey, but it is somewhat justified by all the large window and wall pieces. Overall: 3/5 - This set is mediocre at best. Playsets are always a good choice for Spider-Man sets since they give Spidey something to swing from, but unfortunately they are rarely pulled off well. The jet is blocky, the building is bare-bones, and the price feels too high. The only reason to get this set are the four exclusive minifigs. This set was discontinued early this year, but if you still see it on clearance somewhere, go ahead and get one for the minifigs and parts, or buy multiples and use the parts to build a better DBC building. I hope you enjoyed this review. It is part of the Reviewers Academy's 7th Anniversary. We're not doing a big celebration this year due to other commitments, but look out for more reviews with the 7th Anniversary banner soon. Now, if you'll excuse me, I am off to see Fant4stic. I hope it's as fantastic as it promises to be! (2 hours later) I was wrong! I was horribly, horribly wrong!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but as far as I know LDD is made by TLG's own developers while Worlds and Dimensions are made by Tt Games who have nothing to do with the development of LDD. Also, Worlds and LDD are connected, so if they are planning to move forward with Worlds, it should be in their best interest to keep supporting LDD. Of course, Worlds only uses a fraction of LDD's parts palette, so there's no need for them to update LDD's parts for that game, but as others have said, TLG uses LDD themselves, so they must keep it updated. Heck, they even use LDD for the environments in The LEGO Movies! Therefore, I'm expecting to see an LDD update eventually (hopefully sooner than later).

I watched the first episode back at SDCC and yes, it's pretty good. It's a nice continuation of the movie and Rocket gets to blow stuff up three times in this pilot alone. It's better than USM and AA and the best part is that it is replacing Hulk and the Agents of SMASH! By the way, who else is watching Rick & Morty season 2? I absolutely love this show. It's hilarious and kinda clever and surprisingly has a lot of heart.

I played the demo at SDCC and I can confirm that it is kinda hard to tell which player is playing which character. You can only tell by seeing which character responds to your controls. So yeah, I don't really recommend playing as the same character, even if you do have enough money to buy multiples of one. But that has always been the case in Lego games, hasn't it? It does load them pretty quickly, but you still have to switch to the new character once it's loaded.

I could see Tron and/or Flynn happening, even though the third movie got cancelled (right after it got confirmed ), which would be pretty cool. They could come with a new disc mold. And I don't think the fact that they are from a sci-fi movie makes any difference. That's like saying the Alien Trooper doesn't fit in with the Unicorn Girl and the rest of S13 or that Itchy and Scratchy don't fit in with the other Simpsons figures. However, I think they will probably limit it to the animated movies since there are plenty of characters to draw from those already.- 4,155 replies

Is this really news to anyone? To me it was pretty obvious that the increased friction on these things is there so that the minifig doesn't fly off. It's not like TLG made them this way to deliberately damage their own figs. It is necessary for the play feature to work properly, and as dr_spock said, this is probably more important to TLG than preserving the minifigs which get damaged when kids play with them anyway. The super jumpers are a total gimmick, so I expect them to stop using them eventually. Bigfig jumpers? No, not gonna happen. Those guys are far too heavy to jump. They may incorporate play features that knock Bigfigs over in the sets like in Darkseid Invasion, but not produce a new mold for it. Besides, characters like Darkseid, Gorilla Grodd, and Green Goblin aren't exactly known for leaping through the air. Well, Hulk is, but there is no super jumper in the world that could simulate his jumping ability. Except the brick separators are actually useful, at least in my opinion. Agreed. While I like that we're getting more playsets and I like the idea of incorporating play features that simulate the collateral damage that occurs during superhero fights, it makes for some very fragile sets. I can ignore the inclusion of super jumpers, but when it's hard to play with a set without knocking something over every few seconds, it's really annoying. Now I know how Superman feels... So yeah, let's hope that this super jumper fad will be over soon.

Welcome to EB! I also think that Pluto would be best as an accessory like Santa's Little Helper. He's not big enough to warrant his own CMF pack. And he wont be a minifigure unless these are indeed all just people in costumes which I doubt since that would be pretty weird. I think he will be a single new mold since the Scooby-Doo mold is too inaccurate for him (although a turnable head like Scooby's would be pretty neat). As for a tie-in set, I don't think it will happen, at least not for this wave. We probably would have heard rumors of one by now. But maybe when you wish upon a star... I'm pretty sure Disney has the rights to market their version of Peter Pan however they like. I hope that these CMF wont cost more than the Simpsons ones, but if they do, I highly doubt that this would be the reason. This. Besides, it's not like the original Belle was played by a French actress... But this is getting off topic.- 4,155 replies

Ooh! Finally something more to go on! Pan is a logical choice considering he has a live-action movie coming up. I agree that he will come with a knife, Tink, or both, although I could still see them giving Tink her own minifigure considering her popularity. I hope Peter gets a new hat/hair mold. Personally, I'm not very interested in this particular character, but the fact that they seem to be doing characters from the classic animated movies is very exciting!- 4,155 replies

So today Disney announced that they are making a movie based on Disneyland's Jungle Cruise... starring Dwayne Johnson. I don't know what to think of this. I'm not sure this attraction really lends itself to a movie adaptation very well, and "the Rock" isn't exactly what I picture in my mind when I think of Skipper Dan. I don't have anything against the Rock, though, and I welcome any movie that breaks up the slew of live-action remakes of animated Disney classics. Also, what do you guys think about Gigantic? For those who don't know, it's an animated adaptation of Jack and the Beanstalk where the giant is an 11-year old girl. Disney's latest animated movies have been very good, so I'm looking forward to this one. But seriously, that trend of using adjectives to title their movies is getting a bit silly.

I don't know why everyone is so surprised by Cars 3. We have known about that for a while now and considering how well the Cars toys are still selling, it was going to happen eventually. In fact, we have known about all of these movies for a while. The only new thing that they revealed was the title, logo, summary, and concept art for Coco. It's good to know that in between these four sequels we will get another original film (even though it still sounds like a ripoff of The Book of Life). Honestly, I don't mind these sequels that much. Finding Dory has potential as Flipz pointed out. Toy Story has managed to top itself with each movie, so maybe they will do it again. Cars 3 is not very exciting, but I didn't think the first two were necessarily bad, so I don't think this one will either. And do I even need to mention the awesomeness of The Incredibles 2? They confirmed that it is going to be a sequel, so I guess they will be reunited somehow. Besides, if it was a prequel, it would be a movie without Buzz Lightyear, and that just wouldn't be a Toy Story movie in my book.- 279 replies

I don't really agree with you there. I mean, he's kinda big, but not THAT big. I think he would be fine as a minifig, but I don't think they would make him. Yeah, this is the 2016 rumor that I'm currently most excited for as well, but unfortunately it's also the most unfounded one, so I'm trying not to get my hopes up too much. I don't think they would rehash Woody and Buzz unless they are new variations, but I can't think of any except for different facial expressions. Maybe the anti-grav belt version of Buzz, but I doubt it. Exactly. I don't know how much clearer you can be than that. Agreed. He doesn't need to be in scale with the rest of the figs. He could have the Lizard Suit Guy's tail and a new head mold. Same goes for small characters like Tinkerbell. Not sure how they would do Mike, though, considering his shape...- 4,155 replies

Oky replied to just2good's topic in LEGO Licensed
I rest my case. True, he would be better as a bigfig, but I could see them doing him like they did the Monster Series Werewolf. The lions probably would have to be excluded though. And no, of course they wouldn't mix minidolls and minifigs. It's one or the other. Well, aren't you a ray of sunshine. While you are right that there doesn't seem to be many Disney toys outside of the Pixar and Princess stuff, why are you so pessimistic? So far TLG has done a great job with the CMFs, and even though the hugeness of the Simpsons heads is polarizing, you gotta admit that they were at least made well for what they are. So how about having some faith in our favorite toy company? Sigh, I'm getting tired of this argument. Minidolls are only used in products aimed at little girls. CMFs are usually aimed at all ages and genders. Why would these be any different? And why would they want to rehash the minidolls? That would just encourage people not to buy the Disney Princess sets and to just buy the blind bags instead. It would make much more sense to make them minifigs as that would offer something new and appeal to everyone. Not to mention that there are many characters that would just not work as minidolls. Nope. This is all pure speculation based on J2G's word who confirmed that he was serious about it over a month ago. For all we know, this could all still turn out to be the world's longest running April Fools joke, but J2G has never been wrong so far, so I hope not. Who knows, maybe this rumor of a Dinsey CMF line is referring to the Palace Pets sets.- 4,155 replies

I think that rule only applies to themes where TLG might produce a similar set to what you're submitting, like what happened with the UCS Helicarrier. Again, I'm pretty sure TLG had the Doctor Who license before they approved the Ideas set which is probably why they suddenly allowed projects based on that property after not allowing them for a while. They probably got the license for the Dimensions level and fun packs with no plans to make actual sets which is why they passed that project. And I don't think they would make an Inside Out set like this at this point, so I'm hopeful. As Joy would say, you gotta think positive!

Yeah, but again, I don't think they would do any of the European comics characters. I think a better question is why wouldn't they? Good idea. They could do mostly good guys for most of the year and make a wave focused on Disney villains for Halloween. Also, you forgot Cruella Deville. Like I said in the other thread, I disagree. It's combed the wrong way and is missing the hair standing up in the back. Sadly, no news from D23...- 4,155 replies

Thank you! Yes, I agree, but this is the smallest trunk-like piece I could find. Not really. That hair is combed the wrong way and it doesn't have the hair standing up in the back. So I don't think that is the case. I am flattered that you would prefer my designs over official ones. I personally would love to see how TLG would handle these characters, especially since that would mean new molds! And I don't think that it would lessen the chances of this set passing the review; in fact, I think it would strengthen it since that would mean they would already have license. Also, if they do the minifigs before this project gets made, they might include the new molds in this set (like they probably will with the Doctor Who set) which would make it even better! So let's show them that we want these characters by getting it to 10.000!
