I didn’t really like it. I found it was a mid film with great cinematography. But some racing in Starfighter would be fun. Well I wouldn’t say that it’s gaining popularity as I’m just retooling my ideas from 9 months ago. @Mandalorianknight i am very much enjoying all your movie wishlists. Some much needed remakes combined with a unique spin. Delicious. Simply delicious. And most impressive. 1. I’m not sure. But the lack of a ISD bridge diorama is just stupid. 2. Have a cap on 18+ gimmicks sets (6-8 annually) and revert back to being mostly play-set focused to ensure variety. That’s how I got into Lego as a kid, and it’s how I intend to stay in Lego until I’m inevitably priced out or they run out of plastic. Instead a full wishlist, I’m going to start a What If series. Where I speculate on how things would have changed if something different happened or didn’t happen. Starting with: What If: The 2020 501st BP had been a commercial failure? Some major things: Lego would become much more reluctant to take internet demand seriously, particularly regarding TCW. 2021 - would have no difference 2022 - where we start seeing some major differences The April 187th Republic Fighter Tank would have been replaced by a Hoth Defence set (Snowspeeder and a small trench build with: Luke Skywalker, Dak Ralter, General Reikan, Rebel Soldier and a Snowtrooper) The August AT TE would have still happened. But,since online fan demand for clones like Cody was evidently overblown after the 501st BP, it would have been AOTC based to tie in properly with the minifig pack and Obi-Wan’s Delta 7. Minifigs would have been: Clone Commander, Clone Lieutenant, Clone Trooper, Mace Windu, Anakin Skywalker and 3 Geonosis B1 Battledroids. Everything else remains the same 2023 Instead of 501st Specialists BP, BF2 still gets representation through a remake of 9489 but with a Stormtrooper heavy instead of a scout. 20 years of Clone Wars is still celebrated with some 18+ representation. However only P1 Cody’s 18+ helmet and not Rex’s is made (Rex is replaced by the AT AT Pilot or a Red Guard) The UCS Venator still occurs since the ISD retired and the UCS Gunship had still been successful. However, P1 Cody and General Kenobi are the minifigs included. The September Coruscant Guard Gunship is replaced by a new Endor Bunker set to commemorate the 40th anniversary of RotJ and act as a companion to Yavin. (Minifigs include: Imperial Officer, Navy Trooper, Scout Trooper, Stormtrooper, Ewok, Chewbacca, Leia (reuse from Speeder chase) and Han Solo.) But this set is an additional £10 compared to the Gunship we did get. Instead of a summer 332nd BP we basically receive 75373 10 months earlier as its companion, the Moff Gideon bunker, had been made obsolete by the Endor Bunker. Everything else remains the exact same. Including Yoda’s starfighter as it’s still 20 years of clone wars. The 212th Clone in the year’s AC never actually happened in the 2022 AT TE. And is therefore replaced by a Scout Trooper 2024 The Clone vs Droid Battlepack still happens. But with 3 P1 Clones and a P1 Sargeant after the AT TE, unlike the 501st BP, was successful. Fives does not become an Anniversary figure, he is replaced in the lineup by either Mara Jade, Kix (pirate), Yaddle or Yarael Poof. Since Moff Gideon’s bunker has now been made obsolete, it is replaced by an Acolyte Vector Starfighter set. (Including: Sol, Osha Jecki and Qimir.) Instead of Ambush on Mandalore BP, since that has already released, we get a generic KOTOR Jedi vs Sith Battlepack to represent how Lego has made sets for that era, and to somewhat tie in with Acolyte. And to give Malak some playmates without making him less special. Instead of Captain Rex’s Y-Wing Microfighter we get General Kenobi’s Republic Gunship Microfighter Grogu’s escape does still happen, but the 501st Troopers included do not have helmet holes as without P2 Cody in 2022 they would have never needed to make a new clone helmet. Surprisingly, Rebuild the Galaxy still happens with Jedi Bob in a leading role cause it’s funny. However, he does not receive his own Starfighter set as Lego’s not entirely confident the internet demand will translate to good sales (after 501st BP) and instead is included in the Dark Falcon in place of Beach Luke. Jedi Bob’s Starfighter set slot is replaced by a TPM AAT with: Padme, Jar Jar and 2 B1 Battledroids. Since Moff Gideon’s bunker never happened, neither do Praetorian guards. Which means that the one in the 2024 AC is replaced by one of the generic KOTOR Sith from the BP. There also are no P2 Clone paper bags with magazines due to them not having been in sets, there are instead more builds and named characters. Since there’s less confidence of TCW Glup Shittos, R2 KT rightfully replaces QT KT as an anniversary figure since, despite QT being a stand in for KT, KT is ultimately the droid which represents the SW fandom at its best. Everything else remains the same. 2025 January remains the exact same. The ARC-170 happens for ROTS 20th Anniversary and Ahsoka’s Interceptor because she’s popular. The August Clone Turbo Tank is replaced with a Kashyyyk Republic Gunship including: Luminara Unduli, Commander Gree, 2 41st Scout Troopers, Chewbacca and 2 Battledroids. As by that point it’d have been 12 years since the last Gunship release. The 327th BP is replaced by Separatist Attack: Vulture Droid, Dwarf Spider and 2 B2 Battledroids vs Yoda and Tarful Whilst the UCS Jango’s Slave One does happen to try and entice those who already have UCS Boba’s, the Play-Scale August Slave One is instead Boba’s based on ESB with: Lando Calarissian, Boba Fett, Princess Leia and a Han Solo Carbonite slab. The August V-19 Torrent doesn’t happen due to the possible inclusions of Obi-Wan and Anakin already being on shelves for cheaper. Its set slot is replaced by a TIE Avenger with: Cassian (using the new helmet mould slot used by the Clone Pilot), Krennic and a Stormtrooper No midi-scale Republic Acclamator. Instead we get a midi scale imperial shuttle. Instead of the Clone Cadet May 4th GWP there is instead a small Yoda vs Palpatine Senate Duel diorama GWP. The Separatist MTT I’m honestly not sure on. It definitely would be different. But I’m not sure if it’d end up being something else entirely like a Fondor Haulcraft, Boga Chase, Stinger Mantis or Gozanti Cruiser or just as easily have become simply a brown TPM MTT. Everything else remains the same. As the 501st BP had nothing to do with the Buildable character scourge. 2026 The Mauldalorian BP now includes TK Troopers instead of 332nd and is pushed to June to tie in with Maul Shadowlord. Due to the Coruscant Gunship never happening, the Shocktrooper Mech is replaced by P1 Captain Rex’s Republic Gunship mech Everything else is pretty much the same from what we know of the year so far. Okay. So that’s my What If. Some good changes, some bad. I’d love to know what you guys think and whether I’m just unreasonable. And do let me know of any What Ifs you’d like me to try and figure out.

2027 specualtion (with a spot of hopium sprinkled in) January - small sets BARC Speeder (£8.99): General Kenobi and a B1 Battledroid Ahsoka mech (£12.99): Ahsoka the White Imperial Remnant vs New Republic Battlepack (£19.99): 2 NR armoured troopers, Remnant stormtrooper (pauldron) and Remnant stormtrooper (ammo pouch). Builds are an Imperial fortification and Probe droid. Anakin’s Delta 7-B (£24.99): General Skywalker and Count Dooku Midi-scale Chimera (£54.99) Midi-scale Razor Crest (£59.99) 4+ Anzellan workshop (£19.99): Buildable Anzellan and various tools March - Ahsoka S2 TIE Defender vs New Republic A-Wing (£99.99): Ezra Bridger, Grand Admiral Thrawn, Night Trooper TIE Pilot, Captain Enoch and Chopper Peridia Shenanigans (£???): Ahsoka Tano, Sabine Wren, Baylan Skoll (and Shin Haiti?) Smart Play: hopefully non-existent thanks to the abysmal failure of this year. Or at least limited to the 3 sets we know about: R2 D2 Echo base Ewok Attack Starfighter - due to being a new IP with no pre-established characters and in a year with a lot happening, I think this will get a 4 set wave. Not too little, not too risky. Hero Starfighter (£???): Literally me, Mia Goth (I haven’t seen any of her stuff), Will Mackenzie from Inbetweeners and the kid. Villain Starfighter (£???): Daemon Targaryen, John Stewart, Daemon’s goon. Something else (£???): Lyonel Baratheon, Lois Lane and another of Daemon’s goons. (Maybe more) Drive (£29.99): Literally me, the kid and one other character. (Landspeeder we saw in that black and white photo from August) May UCS Obi-Wan’s Delta 7-B (£179.99): Obi-Wan Kenobi and R4 The Mandalorian Bust (£59.99): The Mandalorian Clone Commander Bust (£59.99): Clone Commander ISD Bridge Diorama (£119.99): Admiral Ozzel, Captain Piett, General Veers, Darth Vader and 4 Crewmen. (“Good, our first catch of the day.”) Posters: McQuarrie/ Gold Luke Skywalker Icons of SW: McQuarrie Han Solo/ Gold Yoda Summer - the bulk of anniversary celebration 50th Anniversary Gold Squadron Y-Wing (£64.99): Dutch Vander, Astromech, Yavin Ceremony Luke and McQuarrie/ Gold Darth Vader Anniversary Bounty Hunter Pursuit (£54.99): Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Zam Wessel and Padme Amidala TIE Avenger (£59.99): Cassian Andor, Director Orson Krennic, Stormtrooper and/ or Range Trooper 50th Anniversary Ewok Village (£159.99): C3P0, Chewbacca, Han Solo, Princess Leia, Stormtrooper, Scout Trooper, 3 Ewoks and McQuarrie/ Gold R2D2 50th Anniversary Buildable Yoda (£139.99): Yoda and Gold/ McQuarrie Chewbacca Luke’s X-Wing Microfighter (£12.99): Luke Skywalker Republic Gunship (£139.99): Clone Pilot, Clone Trooper, Clone Commander, Mace Windu, Shaak Ti and 2 B2 Battledroids 50th Anniversary OT Millennium Falcon (£169.99): Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, Chewbacca, Princess Leia, Ben Kenobi, R2 D2, Lando Calarissian and Mcquarrie C3P0/ Gold Boba Fett/ Holiday Special Boba Fett September: Advent Calendar (£34.99): Holiday Scout Trooper, Sabine Wren, Celebration Luke, Darth Vader, Ginger Bread Clone Trooper and a B1 Battledroid October MBS Yavin IV (£699.99): Mon Mothma, Ceremony Luke, Garven Dreis, Wedge Antilles, Han Solo, Ceremony Leia, Chewbacca, Hera Syndulla, Chopper, C3P0, R2 D2, Jyn Erso, Cassian Andor, K2S0, Bodhi Rook, General Draven, Farns Monsbee, Vel Sartha, Ruescott Melshi, Pao, 2 Rebel Fleet Troopers, 2 Rebel Ground Crew, 2 Rebel Honour Guards, General Dodanna, Alexsandr Kallus, Commander Ezra Bridger, K2S0 and the magic Lunch Lady. (Build is similar to Minas Tirith with a Green X-Wing side build. The GWP is Cassian’s house with Bix, Kleya and Wilmon) The Mandalorian’s Sleigh (£44.99): Christmas Mando and Grogu on a sled similar to the Super Bowl Advert. (S@H exclusive) Edit: just remembered Bespin duel would also have to be in here somewhere. It should take the Gold/ McQuarrie Chewbacca minifig. That’s at most 33 sets. But with luck, Smart Play will do so badly that Lego scrambles a Jedi 3 set or two if it releases next year. Designs that Lego probably had in the works at some point anyway but could easily add JFO minifigs (Police Gunship) at least could get made. I absolutely would love these. But with the shuttle this year I’m not holding out hope for a landing craft. I’m glad we’re on the same page about needing a versatile imperial Battlepack though.

A few suggestions for surprise summer M&G sets: Interactive Dejarik (£24.99): Rotta the Hutt and Mando with a sword (builds are one of the arena creatures and Rotta’s axes) Imperial Remnant Battlepack (£19.99): Remnant Stormtrooper (Ammo pouch), Remnant Stormtrooper (Pauldron), Remnant Snowtrooper and Remnant AT RT driver (no stripe). Builds are either of: the speeder in the trailer, probe droid, small turret or a minifig scale AT RT. Hutt Starfighter (£34.99) (I assume): Embo, Martin Scorsese, and 2 Mercenary droids. 14+ MBS Remnant Shadow Council Funtime Hideout (£189.99): 3 Remnant Warlords (potentially including Pellaeon), 2 Remnant Snowtroopers, Remnant AT RT driver, off-road Mouse Droid, Mando and Grogu. Can connect with the AT RT Attack’s turret build. Me too mate.

New Subtheme (actually decent idea that adds to the experience at no costs unlike smart play) Lego Star Wars: Galactic Conquest My idea is a LSW table top gaming subtheme which also functions as: a way for kids to get main characters, a fun game to play with friends and also a method for collectors to get new characters. Each Hero character gives their troops buffs, if put in command, (e.g. +10% speed or armour) as well as having double the health as a normal soldier. Soldiers have hit points of 20 HP, except for scouts who have 15 HP but 25% more range and movement speed. All of this enhancing the current theme and being able to fit in with regular sets unlike smart play. Basically Lego SW Legion/ Warhammer Key Starter packs all include 4 Hero/ Commander units and 4 soldiers (£74.99 mostly). All include the basic tank (TX-130, AAT, AT ST, etc,), speeder, command post and turret a player faction’s base camp will start a game with. (Base camp is where you send regular units to heal hit points, as well as Dropship evacs/ deployments if playing with different fronts) Army expansions are just normal battlepacks but with ability/ stat cards for the exclusive unit added in (£19.99) Commander/ Hero expansions include 3 characters, a small build and their ability/ stat cards (£14.99) Phase 1: the basics Rebellion Starter Pack: Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Princess Leia, Chewbacca, Wedge Antilles, Endor Commando and 2 Rebel Fleet Troopers Empire Starter Pack: Darth Vader, Boba Fett, Grand Admiral Thrawn, Moff Gideon, TIE Pilot, Scout Trooper and 2 Stormtroopers Light of the Jedi (Commander/ Hero Expansion): Jaro Tapal, Luminara Unduli and Master Sol Acolytes of the Sith (Commander/ Hero Expansion): Savage Oppress, Eleventh Brother and Qimir Empire Army expansion/ imperial Battlepack: 2 Stormtroopers, Scout Trooper and a Incinerator Trooper Rebel Army expansion/ Rebel Battlepack: 2 Fleet Troopers, Endor Commando and a Wookie Warrior Phase 2: expansion Republic Starter Pack: Obi-Wan Kenobi, Ahsoka Tano, Captain Rex, Commander Cody, Clone Pilot, ARF Trooper and 2 Clone Troopers Separatist Starter Pack (£59.99): Count Dooku, General Grievous, Cad Bane, Admiral Trench, 1 Security B1, 1 B2 and 2 B1s Republic Army Expansion Pack: ARF Trooper, 2 Clone Troopers and a Republic Commando Separatist Army Expansion Pack (£14.99): 2 B1s, B2 and a Commando Droid Heroes of the Rebellion (Commander/ Hero Expansion): Cassian Andor, Hera Syndulla and Sabine Wren Shadows of the Empire (Commander/ Hero Expansion): Agent Kallus, Iden Versio and Captain Enoch Phase 3: Let’s get nuts Hunters and Criminals Game Expansion (£84.99): The Mandalorian, Asajj Ventress (ToTU), Fennec Shand, Darth Maul (Shadow Lord), Dengar, Bossk, 2 Maul Mandos and 2 Crayola Mandos. (Incorporates both light and dark sides of underworld) Clones of the Republic (Commander/ Hero Expansion): ARC Trooper Jesse, Commander Wolffe and Captain Gregor Separatist Leaders (Commander/ Hero Expansion): Wat Tambor, Nute Gunray and Poggle the Lesser Jedi of Legends (Commander/ Hero Expansion): Mara Jade, Kyle Katarn and Cade Skywalker Villains of Legends (Commander/ Hero Expansion): Warlord Zsinj, Darth Talon and Darth Revan Thoughts? I feel like this would work a lot better in tandem with normal sets than smart play and the starter packs could also serve as general introductions to the LSW theme.

Don’t forget the imperial shuttle. ($140)

Robot T-Rex without a doubt

I severely doubt that Lego would make a Child Murder: The Movie CMF.

My theory is that it’s Streetfighter, it’s a film based off a well liked IP that is literally suited for a minifigure series thanks to its roster. What I’d like is a DCU specific CMF.

Andor S2 Andor S1 Mando S2 Ahsoka Mando S1 Kenobi (the duel in the final episode, the teaser trailer and Vader scenes do a whole ton of heavy lifting for me)* Skeleton Crew TBoBF Acolyte * But I agree with everyone that my favourite character should have been treated far better than in what was mostly a mid-bad series. This was the one I had the most hype for prior to Andor, and it failed to meet its potential. Andor S2 on the other hand was everything I had hoped for and more.

I hope we do see some representation soon.

Love to see it. I like all of these. You’ve got some very overdue remakes in there. And the senate duel would be awesome for play features. 2 vs 2 Battlepack ideas Jedi Knights vs Sith Warriors (£19.99): KOTOR Armoured Jedi, High Republic Jedi and 2 KOTOR Sith warriors. (Scorpinek droid build, 2 human and 2 alien swappable heads with alternate Jedi and Sith face prints, as well as 2 masked heads for Sith.) New Republic vs Imperial Remnant (£19.99): 2 armoured NR soldiers and 2 Stormtroopers (slight battle damage akin to 212th) Battle of Endor (£19.99): 2 Rebel Commandos, Scout Trooper and Stormtrooper (9489 remake) Shadow Operations (£19.99): 2 Republic Commandos and 2 Umbaran Soldiers Outer-rim Defence (£15.99): 2 Outer-rim Garrison Clone Troopers B1 Battledroid and a B2 Battledroid. (Build is a crab droid) Koboh Encounters (£19.99): Scout Trooper, Scout Trooper Commander and 2 Bedlam raiders (builds are probe droid and a Droideka or two) No one expects the imperial inquisition!! (£19.99): 2 Purge Troopers and 2 Jedi Temple Guards Hopes for some of the summer sets: Imperial Shuttle: will be sentinel class with accurate entrance hatch and will have 6 minifigs (Zeb, main imperial antagonist, pilot, and 3 imperial personnel) X-Wing: will have New Republic colours, be below £55 and include 4 minifigs (Trapper Wolf, Carson Teva, Embo and Astromech) AT AT: will be a decent size with 6 minifigs Jedi Starfighter: includes General Skywalker outfit and either Dooku or P1 Rex Icons of SW: includes Mara Jade Additional TIE Avenger and imperial remnant BP are yet to be revealed

I think a ghost pirate has a decent chance. It seems to be a big part of pirate pop culture that hasn’t been covered by Lego in an unlicensed manner yet.

Who was that introducing the SW smart bricks? No it can’t be. FILONIIIIIIIIIIII!!!! X-Wing: Awful TIE Advanced: mid Throne Room: actually a cool design wth. That A-Wing looks decent too. The turret not so much. I believe Filoni has said that he’s been using Zahn as a consultant. A part of me hopes that with M&G and Ahsoka S2 sets almost certainly releasing this year that we might get a balanced battle wave throughout the year. This may be the first time in LA SW where the two opposing factions have equal combat capabilities and tactics level. So hopefully that can get represented in Lego. 5-7 sets in total. A NR v Imperial Remnant BP, 2-3 M&G/ Mandalorian Legacy sets and 2-3 Ahsoka S2 sets. According to leaks there may be a big ground battle on Dathomir so we may finally see what the NR is using for armour support on the ground. Which would be a great Lego set. Well said. Half the point of Lego is that it’s left to the child’s (and AFOLs’ at times) imagination. I just don’t think smart minifigs particularly should exist. Smart bricks I think would be cool in a couple of instances, but not an entire wave like it is now. Like the next buildable R2 D2 would be cool to include a smart brick. Edit: Blurry AT ST pic has leaked. 🗿 It also appears the Ewok is the smart minifig.

On the 12th Day of Christmas, Lego sent to me Twelve Council members meeting Eleven X-Wings a striking (Jade squadron) Ten Younglings a dying, Nine Nazgûl a riding, Eight Stormtroopers a missing The 7th Fleet a scheming Six Consulars a praying, Five Green Lanterns and their rings, Four Republic Commandos, Three Imperial Venators, Two KOTOR Sith, and a TIE Avenger for free (Day #256)

That’s interesting. I hope we do see some of your marvel work in the near future. A few more questions if you wouldn’t mind: So what was the scale of the sets you were allowed to make prototypes for. Were they all polybags? Or were you able to work on stuff like mechs or bigger sets? Also, were you given specific guidelines about what you could make, or did you have free range for characters or source material and they chose the idea they liked the most? I know that this last one might be a question too far but it’s worth a shot. For DC specifically, were you ever allowed to consider other characters or is it always just restricted to Batman when coming up with set suggestions? I think we’d all be interested to know how it works if possible.

According to recent leaks, I am looking forward to the spectacle of Ahsoka S2. At least the confirmed Thrawn’s campaign side of it. Apparently they brought military advisors onto the set to help coordinate battles properly. They’ve also built a massive Home One hangar set apparently. So maybe we may get some good sets from the Thrawn’s campaign side. But I’m only expecting one set each for the Peridia and Thrawn’s campaign plots. Maybe we’ll get a NR vs Imperial remnant BP this summer? Would seem logical given how that conflict is going to be a key theme in both M&G and Ahsoka S2. New Republic B-Wing? Patrol Gunship? On the 11th Day of Christmas, Lego sent to me…. Eleven X-Wings a striking (blue squadron) Ten Younglings a dying, Nine Nazgûl a riding, Eight Stormtroopers a missing The 7th Fleet a scheming Six Consulars a praying, Five Green Lanterns and their rings, Four Republic Commandos, Three Imperial Venators, Two KOTOR Sith, and a TIE Avenger for free Day #255

Ah yes the next evolution. Batmobiles without Batman minifigs. At least we got the BvS one I guess. Wow. That’s awesome. I’d interested to know what it’s like doing an internship for Lego. Was it fun? I guess that also means that there’s a Batcave sometime this year. That new Bruce Wayne has to come from somewhere. Perhaps the 800 piece June set?

On the 10th Day of Christmas, Lego sent to me: Ten Younglings a dying, Nine Nazgûl a riding, Eight Stormtroopers a missing The 7th Fleet a scheming Six Consulars a praying, Five Green Lanterns and their rings, Four Republic Commandos, Three Imperial Venators, Two KOTOR Sith, and a TIE Avenger for free Day #254 of asking Lego for a TIE Avenger. Where else was I going to hide my shrine to her? Also. Are we waiting for some more news before the 2026 thread opens?

Good to have you back. Believe me, the moment normal battlepacks go above £20 I’m out of getting any straight from Lego. I’ll wait for Amazon to roll out the clearance heavy discounts. Though you could say I’m already doing my part to boycott overpriced BPs since I just won’t support this lazy and unnecessary excuse of a BP. And yes. You’re not alone in thinking this is a waste of a BP. Should have gone to Rebels or Empire or both or as you suggested been at least full Mando. Not to a clone legion repeat. There’s only one reason someone would fear having an apprentice. Guys, I think moderator @MKJoshA is a Sith Lord. BUT I CALLED DIBBS!!! IT’S MINE!! WHAT’S MINE IS MINE, MINE AND MINE, AND MINE, AND MINE, AND MINE! AND NOT YOURS! I would do a one does not simply land on Endor meme. But the Sith among us has already done that today.

Scalpers are in shambles right now. Nothing makes me happier.

On the 9th Day of Christmas, Lego sent to me: Nine Nazgûl a riding, Eight Stormtroopers a missing The 7th Fleet a scheming Six Consulars a praying, Five Green Lanterns and their rings, Four Republic Commandos, Three Imperial Venators, Two KOTOR Sith, and a TIE Avenger for free Day #253. Say it with me boys. 9849 remake. I know it’s early to tell. But I reckon Lego overestimated the demand for the 332nd BP. Not many are talking about it compared to the 327th or Clone v Droid when they released. But that’s just the online space. I commend my countrymen for getting this one thing right. (We seem to be botching everything else) I remember being upset at not being able to get the 501st BP for 3 months back in 2020. And then in a rush to preorder the AT TE in 2022 just in case. How times have changed. UCS TANALORR IS MINE!!!! Where is my ISD bridge Lego?! Same here. I believe we also knew the distribution of sets based off new content by January in 2023. And then it was around Friday a week from now in 2024 when we received info on Cal Kestis, Young Leia, Peridia and the Sith Infiltrator. Same energy as the Avengers Doomsday clock.

You see. Instead of doing the singular gold Batman minifigure. I think Lego should have taken a quasi Ninjago 15th/ SW 25th Approach and done 5 exclusive Batman variants that we wouldn’t get otherwise: Superbat (World’s Finest), Dawnbreaker/ GL Batman (Dark Knights/ BatB), Red Death (Dark Knights), Flashpoint, Nightwing Batman (Knightfight) and Batman Beyond. My candidate for a set like this Absolute Batman riding Absolute Killer Croc against a Bane mech/ Buildable figure?

I believe a set of coasters with the Legacy suits leaked a few weeks ago. What’s interesting though was that the Nya one depicts a remastered version of her Possession suit. Which suggests that Possesion and/ or Skybound sets with that suit are on the cards. Though it might just be Nya. What? You don’t like how Ninjago has turned into Pacific Rim? /s The mechs are cool, but we could do with some more larger sets that aren’t just titan mechs or dragons. (Misfortune’s Keep!!!)

New year. Same mission. On the Eighth day of Christmas, Lego sent to me: 8 Stormtroopers a missing The 7th Fleet a scheming Six Consulars a praying, Five Green Lanterns and their rings, Four Republic Commandos, Three Imperial Venators, Two KOTOR Sith, and a TIE Avenger for free (Day #252) Tbf, DC just doesn’t get sets. In the name of the TIE Avenger, I charge you to be brave. In the name of the Andor, I charge you to be just. In the name of the Mara, I charge you to defend the innocent. Arise, @BrickPrick, a knight of Eurobricks. Same. Labradors are just the best. Yeah. I need the June, August and 14+ July set names. ASAP. Just at least one good imperial set. I beg you Lego. (it’d also be nice to make a financial plan early in the year)
