  1. Because BG is from the future. So he would have grown up with those kid orientated shows. It’s duality. thanks
  2. Was bored. Made a tier list of which DC characters like each type of SW content.
  3. I actually kinda want it to be banned here in the UK, to see if it actually benefits our kids I mean. I’m sure it would since doomscrolling is ruining attention spans. Also it’d be interesting to see if it works since someone across the pond ended the ban before it even lasted a day and had an effect. Also, I beg to differ. Until a year and an half ago I used to be a scout leader. And the kids there were very into Lego. In fact quite a lot of them were hyped for the 2022 AT TE. Not so much for the 2023 Coruscant Guard gunship and 327th BP. I’m currently a cadet instructor, and whilst it is an older demographic (mid teenagers), the boys seem to still be into the occasional Lego set, even play-sets. The girls seem to like collecting the botanical collection from time to time. Whilst it is a problem, I think it comes down to the responsibility of the parents, not the kids. Parents can always stop them wasting hours upon hours on TikTok and video games by simply setting screen time limits on their devices. Kids easily get addicted to screens. But yeah, covid definitely is the reason for the exponential increase in adult targeted sets.
  4. Pilot Luke is this year’s Brickheadz in May. Still waiting for a full figure confirmation of the Andor U-Wing
  5. Now we just need Paul to be included in Peter’s apartment. Then Lego’s transformation into marvel editorial will be complete.
  6. I don’t need it to be minifigure scale. I just want it to be minifigure compatible. And to have at least 2 main decks.
  7. Now Lego just needs to produce 3 more spider women. Then they’ll make 1 webmillion dollars.
  8. I’m honestly surprised that Lego’s putting Gwen and Norman Osborne in the same set. IYKYK.
  9. Don’t worry you’re good. It’s both. To mirror the current state of the DC (and arguably SW) theme. I honestly thought that the 2019 promo was teasing something like this. 6 years later and still nothing.
  10. Oh god! It’s blonde Han Solo?!!? How the heck is Tony going to survive?!?? Also the Oscorp figlist leaked. I was Kraven for more than 1 newish villain. Please let Spider Girl refer to Mayday.
  11. Yeah. Come to think of it. An 18+ Battle of Endor in the same style as Rivendell would actually probably work really well. Wouldn’t have to be a diorama. Bunker build at one end of the strip, a few trees (with bridge and huts) and some log traps at the other end. Include 10-15 figures and it’d be excellent. Edit: obligatory: “get Martin Scorsese to direct and watch the box office explode” Fair enough. Each to their own. I know. But a man inmate can dream. I know. I’m honestly considering changing it to just Commando99. But the alliteration of my current username has a nice ring to it. (Also it makes more sense for my pfp’s custom GL pattern.) Good point. But the leakers still knew the essential fig lists for all those sets.
  12. My fellow inmates Behold! I believe I’ve discovered the lore reason for why Green Lantern is the Justice League member who’s been in the least proper sets.
  13. I still find it hard to believe that ‘Redwood’ was a tease for the Death Star. Which is not even the 2nd Death Star by the looks of things. Call me delusional but I think that there’s a reason the $200 18+ AT ST hasn’t been labelled as UCS. What if it’s actually a battle of Endor book nook/ diorama? With a really detailed minifig scale AT ST included, some trees and an imperial bunker. Source: it was revealed to me in a dream (I am desperate)
  14. If there are indeed 2 stormtroopers in the U-Wing I might need to get another Dropship vs Speeder to even out my forces. (I currently have 9 modern style stormies) In fact I might just use this year to build up my infantry corps. Seeing as nothing new interests me.
  15. Lloyd’s finally getting a jet?!!?! Also ghost dragons?! Why do I get a feeling that’s where Morro fits into this as a plot point. And I guess Lego’s taking the route of making a whole ton of new ninja by the looks of things. The original cast can’t stick around forever I guess.
  16. He is reliable. Honestly I’d have preferred both a Death Trooper and a Stormtrooper. But since this year is looking bleak for imperial military sets I’ll take some troopers wherever I can get. Also Childish put a question mark in his list next to the Jango Fett Slave One play-set. Chat is there still hope? Or am I delusional.
  17. Love your ideas. I especially agree that your A Level concept should be implemented. Since the rest of this year sucks for me bar the U-Wing (night troopers look cool but they’re not really a versatile unit) I’m also going to write down my hopes for 2026. Ideal 2026 balanced NR/ Rebels vs Empire wave New Republic Battlepack: NR Navy Officer (with cap), NR Pilot and 2x NR Troopers / Rebel Pathfinder Battlepack: Quarren (Heavy), 2 Human Commandos and a Zebrak specialist. Imperial Forces Battlepack: Stormtrooper Commander, Jump Trooper, Scout Trooper (JFO) and Scout Trooper Commander. / 2 Stormtroopers, Shore Trooper and a Navy Trooper. Builds are: checkpoint, probe droid, DT Sentry droid and a EWeb. Or just a turbolaser turret New Republic A-Wing: Pilot, Hera Syndulla and Admiral Ackbar B-Wing: Pilot, Crix Madine, Mon Mothma, Rebel Friend and an Astromech Tie Defender: Grand Admiral Thrawn, Captain Pellaeon, Death Trooper and a Tie Baron Imperial Patrol Gunship: Purge Trooper (Kenobi version), Jump Trooper, Jump Trooper Commander, Stormtrooper, Scout Trooper and Jedi Jeff. ITT: Imperial Lieutenant, stormtrooper, stormtrooper commander, 2 Combat Drivers and Sabine Wren (Rebels S4) Actual predictions for 2026: January 501st Battlepack mk3: Medic, Airborne, and 2 ARFs Corporate Alliance Tank Droid: Obi-Wan (reuse from V-19), P1 Clone Trooper, B1 Commander and 2 B2RPs 4+ Luke’s Landspeeder Midiscale Imperial Venator Midiscale Razor Crest March Captain Enoch helmet 2-3 M&G sets May 2-3 M&G sets Buildable Mandalorian UCS Mando’s N-1 Rogue One Brickheadz Clone Pilot Helmet Death Trooper Helmet August Clone sets galore. September Advent Calendar with Christmas Clone Trooper October UCS Turbo Tank Not a fan of the helmet line. But I would be tempted by some of these ngl.
  18. Imma point out that the supposed 2015-19 ‘dark ages’ of clone sets are quite a myth. There was still a decent assortment of Clone Wars sets every year. Considering that Lego had to also juggle lineups for 3 trilogies, 2 other movies and rebels. In the following years Clone Wars adjacent sets included the following (not including sets with prequel exclusive applications): 2015: 75072, 75073, 75076, 75077, 75080, 75085, 75086, 75087, 75088, 75089, 75107, 75108, 75109 and 75112. This was out of 45 sets. 2016: 75142 and 75151 (these were pretty substantial sets despite TFA and R1 needing a focus) out of 49 sets 2017: 75168, 75182 and 75191 (pretty good since Rebels S3, TLJ and R1 required sets.) out of 47 sets. 2018: 75199, 75206, 75214 and 75537 out of 48 sets. This was a year where both the TLJ and Solo released within 6 months of each other. 2019: 75224, 75233, 75234 and 75261 out of 46 sets. This was the year where The Mandalorian and TROS released. Granted, there was a lack in different units. But the reports of there being next to ‘nothing’ for Clone Wars fans during the 2015-19 era are greatly exaggerated. Especially when you consider the combined years. There was always something for Clone Wars fans. Just not the amount the films that we’re releasing at the time, ones that had stronger connections to the OT than the prequels, were getting. You don’t seem to have seen the online outrage that the Dark Falcon took up the $170 august set slot instead of a Turbo Tank which many people had theorised. A bunch of people complained in 2022 that the Clone Minifig pack wasn’t a 212th one as MandR had said it should have been. The constant demand for more clone sets. The amount of army-building YouTube channels. I believe there was even a petition to fire a LSW designer at one point because of their preference for the OT over the PT (correct me if I’m wrong I can’t recall where I heard that last part) And then there’s the 501st BP movement which kept hounding Lego employees and social media channels until it eventually got made. In fact recently people are starting to do this again for a Wolfpack BP.
  19. I doubt it. Kevin Feige blended in as a civilian minifig. The Death Star has no such excuse to include a George Lucas in his iconic shirt.
  20. I’m not even mad anymore. I’m just disappointed. All I wanted was an affordable imperial set. It was too much to ask.
  21. Well lads. The final SW set is supposedly yet another Clone adjacent set. Rampart, Nolan and Krell were heroes. We just didn’t see it.
  22. 1) Kyle Rayner (current suit) 2) Guy Gardner 3) Wally West (rebirth) 4) Black Bat 5) Wonder Girl (either Cassie, Yara or Donna)
  23. There’s also the fact that other websites such as Reddit are echo chambers and in said echo chambers Clones are supposedly the coolest thing ever. Thus pressuring newcomers into buying more and more clone sets so they get lots and lots of upvotes. Believe me. It feels good to get upvotes. Speaking from personal experience, it gives you a sense of power and validation. But it’s hard to actually come up with and post stuff that kicks off into popularity at times. That’s why so many people are peer-pressured into buying and showing off their clone sets. Because clone bros upvote like sheep whenever a clone is shown. This increases Clone sales and ends up putting us, nothing more than clone enthusiasts who prefer other factions, in the position we are now. (personally I put the effort into making memes, I never repost other people’s work (except on leaks)) On a lighter note. Who are the top 5 DC villains you’d like Lego to make who haven’t been done before? 1) Parallax 2) Cyborg Superman 3) Circe 4) Grail 5) Atrocitus
