  1. I personally think that a Hall of Justice is more likely than a Daily Planet. I mean, it’d probably be the DC version of the X-Mansion. Seeing how 4 out the 9-10 likely minifigures are already available. Like with Storm and the X-Jet. We have: Batman, Superman, Lex and Jonkler. Like the X-Mansion already having Storm, Wolverine, Cyclops and Rogue ready to go. That means at minimum all Lego needs to make are: Green Lantern, Aquaman, Wonder Woman and Flash (using the Captain America helmet). Then that would still leave 2-3 slots for other heroes or villains (likely Martian Manhunter and another iconic villain like Sinestro, Cheetah or even Star Sapphire based on her DCAU appearance and reusing Batwoman’s cowl.)
  2. On the Sixth Day of Christmas Lego sent to me: 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 #250 of pestering everyone until a TIE Avenger is achieved) Well my prediction and attitude to Disney is basically this when it comes to M&G merch: Any child or fan-girl who would want to buy a Grogu plushie or toy, who is evidently what the focus of merch will be on due the film’s stupid name, will have had more than five years at this point to buy one, a movie isn’t going to make them buy more in this economy. Even though Mando is exclusive to D+ the Baby Yoda became a cultural phenomenon back in the early 2020s. But despite this, as I’ve mentioned before, I volunteer in a Cancer Research charity shop, and in the past year we’ve recieved a quite a lot of sealed Baby Yoda and ST toys from donations to put on 50-75% off. The merch sales are going to be handicapped by the fact they’ll be relying the exact same plushie that people have had the last 5 years to buy. Lego will do ok because it has more versatility, but other Toy companies are kinda screwed for the merch imo. The same could be argued for Mando himself but to a lesser extent. But that’s just my prediction . Oh it’s definitely a combo. But it’s becoming less and less so in Lego’s favour. Say what you want about Clone Bros, but Lego definitely rules the roost with Clone Army building. A highly profitable endeavour that only Lego is able to due to its battlepacks and cult following. You don’t see anyone army building vintage series or black series. Ironically evident that it’s leaning in Lego’s favour since Lego’s making more clone sets instead of promoting Skeleton Crew and Acolyte. I don’t think the decision to ignore what was supposed to be last year’s flagship show would have come from Disney.
  3. On the fifth day of Christmas, Lego sent to me: Five Green Lanterns and their rings, Four Republic Commandos, Three Imperial Venators, Two KOTOR Sith and a TIE Avenger for free (Day #249) What can I say? I’m ready to for my heart to be broken again.
  4. It’s still unlikely, but that gives me some hope. They’d probably be looking for ways to bleed minifigs as well. Since only Man, Jonkler, Soup and Billionaire Bald have minifigs. GL mech with a shared Superman villain like Zod? Reusing Doctor Strange face print of course.
  5. On the fourth day of Christmas, Lego sent to me: Four Republic Commandos, Three Imperial Venators, Two KOTOR Sith And a TIE Avenger for free. Day #248 of our noble cause. 75458 looks promising though. With a piece count of 775 and unlike the rest of the June sets, it’s not listed as M&G based.
  6. On the Third Day of Christmas, Lego sent to me: Three Imperial Venators Two KOTOR Sith and a TIE Avenger for freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. (Day #247)
  7. On the 2nd Day of Christmas Lego sent to me: Two KOTOR Sith And a TIE Avenger for free Day #246 Very nice. I got two Night Trooper Battlepacks and a Plo Koon’s Microfighter. Preach brother Now, I eagerly await summer 2026 set news.
  8. On the first day of Christmas Lego sent to me… A TIE Avenger for free. (#245, my friends. And I wish you all a very merry Christmas)

Merry Christmas everyone
  10. Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the forum Not a Eurobrick poster was stirring, not even a turtle; The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, In hopes that TIE Avenger soon would be there; The AFOLs were nestled all snug in their beds; While visions of Gingerbread AT ATs danced in their heads; And Dave Filoni with his Grogu, and Kevin Feige with his Cap, Had just turned off their brains for a nostalgia bait slap… (Day #244, complete the story if you dare…)
  11. Away in a hangar, no imperial for a pilot, The little TIE Avenger armed its sweet warheads. The stars in the sky looked down where it lay, The little TIE Avenger, activated on the floor. The Range Troopers are deploying, the TIE awakes, But little TIE Avenger, no mercy it takes; I love Thee, TIE Avenger, look down from the sky And stay on my console till morning is nigh. Be near me, TIE Avenger, I ask Thee to be made Close by me forever, and built by me, I pray; Bless all the dear rebels in Thy tender care, And fit us for Yavin to live with Thee there (Day #243 of asking for a Tie Avenger) Oh wow. That’s way better than what I came up with today. The carolling is very fun, good job. And over the 12 days of Christmas… SW modular, Videogame set or MBS ISD bridge Hopefully. Let’s just hope there’re not too many 18+, 10+ and 12+ age ratings in there (Buildables). I’d argue that it’s one of the 3 most overdue imperial vehicles to get made. (TIE Reaper, TIE Avenger and ITT) At this point it’s appeared quite frequently: JFO, Outlaws, Rebels, Mando… A imperial remnant BP would be very welcome as well. But it’s contested in my desires with Army Troopers and JFO Stormtrooper/ Scout Troopers. Nah, I expect it to be like the Rocket GOTGV3 set. Probably. But I imagine they’ll need to retire the 327th BP first to make either Mando’s or a regular clone AT RT with a standard 501st trooper and B1.
  12. I mean. I could kinda see the 3000 piece set being a D2C Batcave for all the Batmobiles. But LegoMinecraftGoat said on Bricktap that they’re all listed as marvel. At least we’re starting to get interesting ones that aren’t just Keaton or Bale. Arkham and Beyond would be awesome.
  13. Where are the August set numbers and prices? I want to see which ones could be a Tie Avenger. (Day #242 of asking for one) 75461 is 12+, releases in June and has 1809 pieces. Almost definitely a Buildable Mandalorian or Babu Frik. From the trailer and promotional images we’ve seen, here’s a few possibilities: AT AT New Republic Y-Wing Imperial base Imperial battlepack Gladiator arena Big robot thing Anzellan Spacecraft AT RT I expect 3/4 of these ideas to be ignored in favour of buildable characters.
  14. Creature Commandos S2 news: So I’m going to hazard a guess that he may also be in MoT. I really wish Lego would make comic-based battle packs with all these characters who are taking leading roles in the DCU. Just one a year would be great. Guy Gardner, John Stewart, Hal Jordan, Metamorpho, Booster Gold, Hawkgirl, Blue Beetle, Mister Terrific, Supergirl, Sinestro, whoever the female hero in MoT is, Braniac, Ultraman, Circe… and those are only the confirmed candidates. Do packs of 3 heroes v 1 villain and they’d be amazing and probably sell well. Could even sneak in a cheeky Peacemaker for whenever the salvation run movie happens.
  15. Day #241 of having a Lego Tie Avenger on my Christmas wishlist.
  16. Literally me is getting a minifig?!
  17. Braniac has been confirmed! I repeat, Braniac has been confirmed by the Gunn himself. Hopefully we get cast news soon. It’ll be interesting to see if we get similar character announcements to the Justice Gang from summer 2023. Only one confirmed is Hawkgirl John Stewart, Guy Gardner, Supergirl, Metamorpho and Mr Terrific are all likely. We’ll also probably see who the Justice Gang have recruited.
  18. The best way to spread Christmas cheer is yell out ‘TIE AVENGER!!!’ for all to hear. My favourite Elf quote. I’m still perplexed by the 14+ July set. We’ve already discussed it possibly being video game based. But I was just thinking about how the release date is unusual too. When was the last time a SW set released in July? I just hope it’s something interesting.
  19. I think I’d like it a lot better if it still retained his signature armoured mask. Instead of just being Hal with pupils. We’ve also now got some back shots of the suit. It’s pretty empty. I think they should have added the regular GLC logo or Kyle’s OG logo on the back. I will say that it isn’t as bad as Guy’s Warrior redesign.
  20. Tie Avenger ITT 4 brand minifigs, 3 of which are exclusive. Sleek proportions. Swooshability is through the roof. Aside from the obvious flaws you know about it, it’s a certified banger. Highly recommend for Galactic Civil War fans. Got to love how we got Pik and Waffle before Eli Vanto or Gillad Pellaeon Kessel is too good for my crime. I’ll be hanging with Dedra on Narkina 5. If it is another clone BP then we must hope that there is another £20 one in the June or August waves. The AT ST being compromised by smart-play still means there needs to be a decent imperial army builder. Same goes for rebels. Heck, I’d be happy with a remake of 9489 if the vs Battlepacks are a common stay now.
  21. I feel it in my fingers I feel it in my toes Tie Avenger is all around me And so the feeling grows (Day #239 of asking for a glorious Lego Tie Avenger) ITT 4 brand new minifigs, 3 of which are exclusive. Sleek proportions. Swooshability is through the roof. Aside from the obvious flaws you know about, it’s a certified banger. Highly recommend for Galactic Civil War fans. Got to love how we got Pik and Waffle before Eli Vanto or Gillad Pellaeon Kessel is too good for my crime. I’ll be hanging with Dedra on Narkina 5.

  22. No no. Absolute Batman is just better than current main earth Batman. And should be getting sets. Here would be my ideal roadmap for future mechs: 2026: Green Lantern 2027: Lex Luthor and Absolute Batman vs Bane duel pack 2028: Wonder Woman (assuming that’s when the Wonder Woman film the Supergirl writer is working on releases) 2029: Cyborg (assuming that’s when the Titans movie releases) 2030: Batman (for TBatB) Which is why a Hall of Justice is probably a better pick for a DC modular. It’s been established in the DCU, wait for it to be expanded on in MoT and then include a full roster of 9-12 minifigs. Batman, Superman, Joker and Lex could be reused. Make a GL mech to bleed in 1-2 more minifigs. And then add new versions of: Wonder Woman, Hawkgirl, Flash and 3-4 other characters. Also, on the comic side of things we’ve had 2 announcements: Superboy Prime will be the lead of the main Superman title in the aftermath of DC KO. Kyle Rayner is going back to earth and will be the main GL again. Big win. But this victory came at a cost…
