I mean, the only traditional weapon in the whole series is Charming's sword.

You're right - forgot about those. Just checked them - Series 2 had Anna, Elsa, and Jafar, and 100 had Aurora, Tiana, and Evil Queen.

I imagine they would have been full minifigs, though, so they would have been hard to implement unless they went the Huey/Dewey/Louie route. The 3 blind mice as accessories works better. Speaking of threes - is this the first series to have three minifigs with the dress part (Fiona, Wolf, and Fairy Godmother)?

I'm hoping that part end up being the "new mold in a licensed set that is generic enough that it can be used elsewhere" for the set. Seeing how many other new molds there were (with the Mickey headbands, hats, and balloons), I'm hoping it will eventually come to Pick a Brick.

Other than the huge number of stickers, I quite like it! A lot of people seem upset that there isn't a "baseplate" under everything, but there's places to put minifigs pretty much everywhere you would want them.

Is Lego intentionally trying to kill of the Minifigures line by forcing this again?! Whether it's cars or anything else, HARD pass from me!

The Zelda movie and Sonic 4 are both releasing next year, so either a Nintendo or a Sega series could work. I do feel like a D&D series will happen again at some point.... I think I may have given up hope on an Animal Crossing or Fortnite series, though. Animal Crossing seems to be suffering a slow death, and Fortnite seems content to bundle minifigs with more expensive sets to generate sales. Pie in the sky idea? Disney Wave 4. It's been long enough it could happen

Bricklink has references to STAMPs all the way up to 2014, suprisingly! Though 2008 does seem to be the last "major" year for them. https://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?pg=1&catString=582&sortBy=Y&sortAsc=D&catType=P&v=1

Holy Chat-GPT written dialogue, Batman! At the end of the day, Lego has no incentive to let people know that there are stickers in the set. They're not going to want to have that information displayed in bright, colorful boxes on the front of the box - it's not a selling point. Even if some rule came out that they had to display that information, they would make it as inconspicuous as possible, they the do with the "model does not float" text on most boat sets.

Eh... There's been a lot of recolors of the flower head piece recently. That makes me a bit less excited for that one. Kinda sounds like this goober from Atlantis... Could be interesting. Bricktap has said the image floating around is fake (especially since the mohawk/painter lady and the sea creature don't match the descriptions at all), but the validity of the list is still up in the air. I'll wait a bit before I get more hyped.

No guessing game thread this time, then? Darn... "Oni Warrior" could be another soft tie-in with Ninjago like Ronin/Lloyd was. By "Flower Child," do they mean "hippie" or just a girl with flowers? Lady with corgi... Maybe an old, British lady with a crown? Two different knights? Interesting. I wonder what faction they'll be (Same? Different?) Spa Lady is probably something I can skip. Florist... Maybe. Wonder what plant(s) they'll have. I hope that the Sea Creature isn't too similar to the one from Monster Fighters/Scooby-Doo. Game show presenter... Sounds kinda boring? Maybe they'll have a cool TV print? Years of trying to find the Build a Minifig Teddy bear costume, wasted! At least I can get it this way (and a baby!) Gondolier... Could look a little basic, but it's a least a nod to the "world classic minifigs" that used to be more common. And something with a mohawk. I will guess it's an electric monster. I'll wait for pictures to decide on what I'll really want, but anything with a knight has my interest!

Ocarina's been the feature of both sets thus far - plus, the ocarina piece is getting removed from Pick a Brick (and probably retiring along with the Deku Tree). I think the chances are honestly fairly low.

Does anyone have any links to reviews of the Hot Air Balloon? I've been able to find most of the others, but not that one and I'm curious about its scale and how well it holds up.

Had luck at the second store I went to. Got all the ones I wanted, and there were plenty left (including the Bionicle one).

Eight new prints in that Timmy and Tommy set, it looks like? I could see more sets like that coming out later that reuse a couple of those. Very cute!

Stopped by the store today and found a half-empty case of S29. Mostly soccer players, bakers, and divers left. I was able to find the last Elf Maiden and a Monster Hunter (there were a couple of these), but no Trash Monsters or Bonkles left. Might try another store tomorrow to see if I can find them... If not, hopefully I can get lucky and be there on time for a restock.

Now that we have full photos out, I think my shopping list will be: Get 2-3: Unicorn Elf Get 1: Bonkle, Monster Hunter, Trash Monster (he's grown on me a lot) Maybe get: Chocolatier, Witch, Lloyd Parts only: Maine Biologist, Tuba Player Pass: Robo T. Rex (Cool, but doesn't match my collection), Boba, Soccer Player Overall, a decent spread. I'll have May 1st off, so I should hopefully be able to go hunting without too much issue.

Official leaked photos in HD are now out. A few more visible details, like a printed Bonkle canister, cat stocking on the witch, and some kind of cape/ waist cape on the Monster Hunter.

On today's episode of "I wish that Lego Fortnite minifigure could be made in real life," there are now designs out for Meg from Herculese. Hades looks just as cursed as he did back in Series 2, though.

The upcoming set is now confirmed to be a ToS Bridge. Summer release, no word on price or part count.

Yup! Nintendo and Lego posted a teaser of a Lego Mario minifigure jumping out of a pipe about a week ago.

I have four thoughts going through my mind at this point: 1. Wahoo! Finally! Can't wait to hopefully get some! 2. The printing on Mario is, overall, quite simple. Yes, the head is complex, but the clothes are overall fairly simple. This makes me think that this line will be more geared towards kids, and there should be more, cheaper sets (like Animal Crossing) as opposed to a handful of expensive sets (like Zelda). 3. I wonder if Mario will simply replace the Animal Crossing line? Animal Crossing hasn't felt like it's done great sales-wise, and Mario could easily take its place and budget. 4. Prediction for the January 2027 CMF: Vacuum Salesman, which will make new molds for the Poltergust 3000. That doesn't bother me at all, honestly. I think 95% of minifigures fit just fine into the regular leg/short leg dynamic, and only a very select few need midi-legs or skinny Woody limbs. I suppose that, at worst, you could give him short blue legs so he can be like the pre-mushroom Mario in the 2D games

Funny you should say that; we've actually already gotten him! Though they could go with a "girl zombie suit" to switch things up.

Zombie Mr. Gold Zombieified Zombie Zombie Venom The possibilities are endless!

I've always had a dream of a "Mrs. Silver" to pair with Mr. Gold. Probably wouldn't be able to make it in chrome, but it's a thought.
