Star Wars: Starfighter, a new film directed by Shawn Levy and starring Ryan Gosling, has been officially announced with a May 28, 2027! I’m excited to finally get a Ryan Gosling minifigure. Hopefully they nail his likeness and don’t use a reused head.

Don’t do that. Don’t kill my hope. The new price and the 2026 list has me hopeful, the latter for nothing else if not some smaller wins, like the Superman mech and TDK Two-Face this year.

I actually have *exclusive* insider information about this. 75419 was thought to be the Death Star, but it’s actually the boulder from the beginning of Raiders of the Lost Ark. The price is still the same, and it comes with the same Indiana Jones minifigure, as well as an exclusive Belloq (he has dual-molded boots). Leakers just saw a giant grey sphere and took a guess. My friend’s uncle’s dentist knows the plumber of the head LEGO UCS idea team, Jim Galidor.

A post by @legok_daily on Instagram shows the new Sith Eternal Palpatine and his double-sided head, the back of which is a scared/shocked expression. I kind-of understand why they chose that, but I feel like a more neutral grimace like the other Palpatine heads would have been preferable.

I didn’t expect this new film to be adapting “Three Jokers” but with Superman, but what can I say? I do find it amusing that all of the torsos are still on their page. Maybe their plan is to post an infinite amount of variations, and then when LEGO does make an official minifigure, they can point to one and claim they were right all along?

Today I learned something new, thanks! I’d never noticed that before.

I’m excited to see how Toothless turns out. Since Hiccup’s not supposed to be included, do we think Toothless will have his saddle/harness? I would assume that he’ll have the red tail fin, as that’s what he’s seen with for the majority of the franchise, but would the rest of it be included, too?

CERVEZA CRISTAL! I’d be very interested in seeing just how the design of the B1 would change, as I’m so used to the classic version. I have no insider knowledge, but I wonder if an updated B1 would help the buildable one to sell better. Regarding the Stormtroopers, while I do like the old helmet a bit better than the current one, I still like the current one. The baffling part to me is that we got a new Stormtrooper helmet mold for the Mimban Stormtrooper from Solo, and then we never saw that mold again.

Lego_minecraft_goat said that it’s fake, citing a leak from not too long ago that 76306 is a cancelled Thor vs. Outriders set. Wakebricks has since gone on to admit that they were wrong about the Superman sets, but then that 76305 is a TBC (to be confirmed?) $60 set. As much as I want a Superman set, this ain’t it. …but that’s okay, as my source is telling me that 75419 is not the Death Star, but instead, actually the Daily Planet, and the globe on top was just confused for the Death Star.

Even though I watched it after it’s release, Resistance felt like it could’ve been setting up a scenario where this small group of characters meet up with the main Resistance and the scope of the show gets larger from there. Of course, that didn’t happen, and it would have been a feat to include the main ST characters but still keep the focus (of the show and the audience) on the original characters, but it might have been interesting. Oh well. As you said, they have free rein now to do something in that time, too. I’m sure if they really wanted, they could retcon it outright, or they could say something like “it’s a year, but that’s a year as in the rotation of this particular planet, for which a ‘year’ is 1,138 days.” While we’re on the topic of the Sequels, another look at the TRoS Palpatine minifigure is up on the discord. It was nice to be reminded that he’s coming, and I really like how he looks, especially the white.

I really want us to get a set, but this is the same person who posted the last Superman torso “leak,” so I don’t have much faith. Fixed it for you.

It’s not Arkham. It’s actually the giant Joker mech from LEGO Batman 2: DC Superheroes Unite. That’s why they made the Superman mech, he comes in the set, along with Batman, Joker, and Lex Luthor (the exact same minifigure as Professor X).

It’s interesting to see that Syril is working with Dedra. (I’m joking, probably. Couldn’t they have used the Bruce Wayne/Lex Luthor head if it isn’t him?) It’s good to see that they went (almost) all-out on Dedra. I’m most interested in seeing the interior space. My hope was that it would be able to fit six, the full Rogue One crew, but it’s not looking like that so far.

Now that you say that, I agree that a gothic facade like that would be the best way to go. They could get all of the exterior details with a good interior and without the modular limitations. Time to get my hopes up.

Agreed. Creature Commandos was being developed before Gunn and Safran took over, so that was never going to be the big set up for the DCU. Superman is supposed to be the official beginning, so we have to wait and see from there. Also, there is going to be some continuity/effects of the events of some films over others, as Gunn and Safran recently said that the script and story for The Authority has been changing as other scripts have come through. In LEGO news, Arkham is going to have 2953 pieces, which I don’t think we knew before. It’s not the best ppp value, but it’s not surprising, either.

Isn’t the Night Trooper battle pack supposed to be $20? That’s crazy. I know there’s a bit of a gap in their release dates, but seeing the two battle packs of this year on the shelf together will be something.

A version of Major Tom (Coming Home) by Peter Schilling, but in Huttese, was in a Skeleton Crew trailer, but I do think this is the first time a regular song has been used. I do agree that more sets would be great, but not likely. Luckily, aside from Mon, most of the main characters will have been available at or around the show’s release (Cassian, Luthen, Syril, Dedra, K2, and Saw).

As long as it comes with a Bossk microfighter (BMF)!

a.clay.brick’s comment on the Reddit page with the list states: “I never posted this anywhere, someone DMed me a while ago and sent the list asking if it was right and I said it’s similar to what l've heard. Somehow now thats turned into me being the source.” There’s a chance a few characters are incorrect, then. I was most looking forward to an ITSV Prowler, but if it’s all based on ATSV, then this makes sense. Excluding Jessica and Ben, though, doesn’t make sense. Hopefully they are in it. A Dark Spot (or whatever he’s called) would be cool, too. I will say, though, that while I hope the characters do all have arm printing, I’m not sure I’d want them all to have the Spider-Society wrist bracelet.

Agreed about waiting for the microfighter. I’ll try to wait and find it at a discount. It’ll be cool to finally have Plo, but he’s not someone I need immediately. Also agreed about the GNK. Making it functional is a good idea, reminds me of the Star-Lord helmet. And if it is hollow, since it doesn’t technically have a minifigure, it could be like the Droideka and be on the cheaper side (of 18+ sets), too.

In the new trend of making brick-built logos, the set is actually just the top part of the gate, with brick-built letters. Some minifigures are included as statues, but the only “real” minifigure is a guard with a new torso and the same Bruce Wayne/Lex Luthor head. Now I’m wondering what they’re going to do about the gate. If the set is a modular, then the gate might not be included, as it would take up valuable space in front. Honestly, I think I might almost prefer if it is not a modular, as then it doesn’t have the restrictions of the footprint and sidewalk that the X-Mansion did. No matter if it is or isn’t, though, I’m hoping that the build is great.

If Ultron is indeed coming in the quinjet, how do we think he’ll be made? In the early Avengers’ Tower leaks, when he was said to be coming in it, he was said to have a new mold. The comics Ultron from this year uses the same bottom piece as the 2015 one, but the top piece hasn’t been seen in a while. Also, (maybe this is just me), but it seems like the combo of the top and bottom head pieces of the 2015 molds shows less detail than just the bottom. It still works, though.

That seems very likely. I was actually in the same situation with the Boba Fett mech. I wanted the detailed minifigure, but because of the Sail Barge from the survey leak, I knew he would be coming later, so I decided to save the money and wait for the Sail Barge (which I didn’t get, but I got the skiff, so it worked out).

Whatever do you mean? I am very excited to put this large, character-filled, comic-accurate Arkham Asylum next to my large, character-filled, comic-accurate Batcave, as well as next to the Tower of Fate, the Flash (2023) Batmobile, the Schumacher Batcave, and the Superman (2025) sets!

As far as I know, we haven’t heard anything new yet. I don’t think we typically get much information about the September CMF until later, though. Still, I am very eager to see who’s included.
