  1. I’m flattered. I think of you as a good chap too. A TIE Defender vs NR A-Wing set would go hard in addition to our holy grail. Who knows. I might go dark for a few weeks, watching the sun rise over a grateful fandom. I might fade from existence as my desire for a TIE Avenger has become such an integral part of my will. We might all just sit back and enjoy the build we all helped create. Or we might move on to another ship or vehicle. That’s the thing about TIE Avengers and life. It’s about the journey not just about the destination. We don’t know for sure what will happen, but at least we can continue to hope as part of something greater. After all, I think it’s safe to say that the church has become a symbol of Eurobricks’ community spirit at (Day #454 of continuing the journey) I’ve been fighting for Mara Jade alongside you since I joined the forum buddy. My hope for her has always been present, even with the TIE Avenger modus operandi.
  2. A bit more than a week out from release and there’s still no AT AT review. And even worse there’s still no TIE Avenger announcement. (Day #453 of forcing whoever Lego has monitoring this thread to listen to our demands)
  3. You yet again seem to forget our 452 day old mission. O blasphemous sponge. I simply just don’t think 4 minifig BPs should cost that much. Now if it was 5-6 figs i would be more inclined to accept it.
  4. Same here. I don’t know how to place it. But it just feels like forced nostalgia and kinda desperate on Marvel’s part. Even more so than D&W, which at least had the promise of parodying Fox X-Men. The CGI looks off as well. I might consider buying the quinjet on discount. Though I reckon they should have included another minifig. (Gambit? John Walker? Thor? Steve?) I reckon Thor should have gone in the Quinjet so the traditional Avenger vehicle has a traditional Avenger.
  5. As you wish: Day #451 of enduring this TIE Avenger-less dystopia. Avengers Doomsday poster was published. I can’t really work with it so I’ll wait for one with more characters. Give me Endor BP news pretty please. What? You don’t remember Ahsoka and the 212th fighting together on Umbara? Or that time the Wolfpack used AV-7s on Chrystophosis? Or when Yoda, Quinlan Vos and the Wolfpack were all stationed on a frigate? FaKE FaN!!!/s
  6. Why do we fall down? So we can learn to pick our TIE Avenger back up. - Batman Begin (Day #450)
  7. Let’s freaking go!!! The lack of Ahsoka S2 news still being a thing despite all the recent leaks is concerning. Carbonite Han is supposed to be included though. If anything it will be the freezing chamber.
  8. I’m sure Many Bothans died for this information. But who cares, we got a Rogue One set boys! Now Lego. You know what you have to do. Give us the TIE Fighter strong enough to fight both X-Wing and Y-Wing at the same time. This makes me hope that either the Endor BP price is wrong or there is a 5th minifig. Being the Concept Art Stormtrooper. There appears to be quite a bit of muddling with the leaks so far. I’m confused on this. Surely Yoda should have a poster not a minifig due to being a display set. It also means we have to worry about quite a few more 18+ sets for Solo, M&G and the ST taking up beautiful set slots. We also got news on Starfighter set age ranges. Yeah that 12+ is 1000% a Buildable droid.
  9. “After years of campaigning, no one could stand between my men and TIE Avenger. Not even the gods.” (Day #448 of our odyssey. Let’s bring it home.) I’m still holding out hope for a diorama, smaller MBS or book nook, so I hope not. It’s no.1 on my 18+ wishlist.
  10. Don’t worry guys! They totally didn’t do Gambit because they’re saving him for a X-Men’97 Sentinel with Rogue and biblically accurate Nightcrawler. (The designs are quite similar)
  11. No way! Just like how the January wave are entirely GL Hal and Pals sets?! The GL Titan mech? The Guy Gardner Monster Truck? The Batwolf. JLA Battlepack?! Featuring Sinestro, Soranik Natu, Larfleeze, Cyborg Superman, YL Scarecrow, Jade, Wonder Woman, Steel, and Wally West. Oh she will be in the sets. We just can’t see her.
  12. Guys. It’s obviously Hydra Falcon Cap. /s
  13. At least the comics are on a roll… you could say that DC has Absolute supremacy over marvel in that theatre. Hey man, good to have you back. I get you have a clear preference. But I don’t particularly want to wait 5-6 years for each instalment of what is ultimately yet another grounded Batman adaptation. Something which Nolan already did in a year longer timeframe than the wait between Reeves-verse 1 and 2. Again comics. I had faith in the Gunn. I am a huge fan of his Soup. And I am excited for MOT. But I will agree that most of his decisions are baffling. Deathstroke x Bane movie? Could be cool. But 4-5 years down the line with Batman or the Justice League as the antagonist. Lanterns? I want it to be good so badly, I’m still holding out a sliver of hope. But shadow realming my GOAT, going for a grounded story which isn’t Hard Travelling Heroes, not making it primarily a space cop epic, not having the suit be green and hiring the chequered Tom King instead of proven good GL writers such as Johns, Tomasi or even Vendetti seems like a huge misstep. Supergirl? Should have been the 5th movie at least and the script should actually have lived up to Gunn’s hype. Clayface? Actually you know what, I’ll give this one a pass if it introduces DCU Batsy. Lack of Wonder Woman? Absolutely abhorrent. I honestly don’t think DC movies can survive another reboot. Either Gunn succeeds or everyone but Batman gets shelved for a decade or more. I agree that Snyder, ironically as that’s what got us in this mess, had slightly better linear continuity. But are we really going to pretend Suicide Squad, the 3rd movie in the snyderverse which was notoriously bad wasn’t just as bad a pick as Clayface or Supergirl? I will give Snyder credit where credit is due. He made sure that Wonder Woman was the 4th movie in his universe. And it’s arguably the best in it. At this rate Wonder Woman won’t even be the 6th movie in the DCU.
  14. Well the World Cup is not coming home. But I’m sure the TIE Avenger will. Bossk looks nice
  15. Guess what got delayed again? https://deadline.com/2026/07/the-batman-ii-jj-abrams-the-great-beyond-release-date-changes-1236982669/ I suppose we’ll be getting 2 less sets next year.
  16. Will that be to season your TIE Avenger bricks? (Day #446) Chances of the Ewok films getting posters?
  17. 2028 early theorising/ wishlisting Alright. We admittedly know next to nothing about 2028 besides it being the 20th Anniversary of 2008 Clone Wars/ 25th of 2003 and likely Maul Shadow Lord S2 or even S3. There could be a movie, but unless it gets announced within the next 3 months I doubt it. What I propose, since Clone Wars does seem to be the theme’s golden goose, are 4 Clone Wars Anniversary sets plus a few extras. Not as many as a significant anniversary, and what I’m proposing would not require as many new moulds/ prints as 2024 and 2027’s set of minifigs and are therefore more doable. January Obi-Wan’s BARC Speeder (£8.99): General Kenobi and a B1 Battledroid Micro-Gosfighter (£12.99): Cade P1 Clone Troopers Battlepack (£19.99): 2 P1 Clone Troopers, P1 Officer and a P1 Gunner (8014 remake) Rebel Snowspeeder Rescue (£39.99): Luke Skywalker, Dak Ralter, Han Solo and a Probe droid. Separatist Shuttle £79.99): Ahsoka (Revamped S1-2 design), P1 Captain Rex, Denal, Cad Bane, B1 Droid Pilot, B1 Battledroid and Clone Commando Scorch Anniversary Minifigure. (Season 2 based set) Midi-Scale ISD Chimera (£59.99) May Customisable P2 Clone bust (£59.99): Includes buildable customisation options such as Rangefinder, head torch and parts to add different patterns in: blue, orange, red and white. Death Trooper Bust (£44.99) Midi-scale Republic Frigate (£49.99) Epic Moments: Mogu Takedown (£29.99): Cal Kestis and Merrin Maul Shadowlord S2/3 Set (£TBA) UCS U-Wing (£179.99): Cassian Andor, Jyn Erso and K2S0 June 14+ ETA-Class Jedi Shuttle (£109.99): Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Count Dooku and Clone Commando Fixer Anniversary Minifigure (Season 6 based set) Ahsoka S2 catchup set (£TBA) The Mandalorian Mech (£12.99) August Ryloth Liberation (£54.99): Mace Windu, Razor, Stak, B1 Commander, B1 Droid, B2 Droid and Clone Commando Boss Anniversary Minifigure. (AAT vs Lightning Squad Blurrg based on Season 1) Z-95 Headhunter vs Vulture Droid (£99.99): Warthog, Plo Koon, Commander Wolffe, 2 B2 RP and Clone Commando Sev Anniversary minifigure (Season 4 based set) General Grievous Buildable Figure (£179.99) TIE Fighter (£44.99): Captain Kerill, TIE Pilot and Darth Vader B-Wing (£69.99): Mon Mothma, Admiral Ackbar, Lando Calarissian and Pilot October Light of the Jedi Advent Calendar (£29.99): Cal Kestis, Training Leia, Santa Kenobi, Pyjama Ahsoka, B1 Droid and Yoda UCS Separatist Lucrehulk (£499.99): Nute Gunray and Hardcase
  18. On a more positive note (I’m sure we’ll get a decent GL showing outside of Lanterns anyway) It appears that Lego, if there was anytime when you should start doing character pack type sets for superheroes it’s next year with the large number of characters required for Doomsday, MoT, BTSV, X-Men’97 and Secret Wars
  19. *Moich* Moichandising, moichandising, where the real money from the campaign is made. TIE Avenger-the T-shirt, TIE Avenger-the Colouring Book, TIE Avenger-the Lunch box, TIE Avenger-the Breakfast Cereal, TIE Avenger-the Flame Thrower. Day #445 of using the Schwartz to get a TIE Avenger Lego set. Spaceballs the May 4th GWP?
  20. No it isn’t. Otherwise they would be making a Morbillion dollars off of Daemon Targaryen. Jokes aside, I feel like he’d need to come in a larger villain set in a later wave. It sounds like he has a Tarkin type role from leaks so not as action oriented a villain for an initial set wave. That is Mia Goth’s role.
  21. Hero Starfighter, larger ship, buildable droid. The characters we do get will be: Ken, Glup Kiddo, Mia the Goth, Will from Inbetweeners (feels like a droid casting),Lionel Baratheon and John Stewart. If Mando couldn’t get Rotta or the Hutts I don’t see Starfighter getting Doctor Who or Lois Lane. Those are my bets looking at modern Lego.
  22. “We all strive to build empires TIE Avengers, whether of stone bricks or people minifigs or words instructions. Empires TIE Avengers we hope will survive us. In the end, though, each of us must necessarily leave our creations behind. All we can hope for is to also leave behind a worthy successor to continue our work. Or who can at least maintain it for a season wave.” — Grand Chadmiral Thrawn. Day #444rawn Ahsoka S2 needs at least 2 sets in order to cover both of the storylines. The most efficient way to do so would be a set for Peridia and a starfighter duel pack for Thrawn vs NR. Buildable Yoda is definitely getting a poster though. Even more evidence that the Remnant AT AT is a godsend where price is concerned. I imagine they’ll reuse the stormtrooper sweater from Mainstreet for one of the fans to cut costs. The cosplay stormtrooper could also end up being a regular stormtrooper.
  23. I will give him credit where credit is due as his Darkseid War God of Light One-shot for Hal was fantastic, Woman of Tomorrow is good, and while I haven’t read it myself Strange Adventures is supposed to be really good. Everything else he’s done ranges from mid to trash. ISTG. The wedding fake out might have been one of the worst editorial decisions in comic history. Up there with Paul. (Who at least resulted in fun memes. In fact without him i’ve found that marvel comics has no punchline/s) For some reason the DCAU chronological succession is: Hal (known from time travel episode), Kyle who looks like Hal (S:TAS), Kyle who looks like Kyle in a simplified version of his 2nd suit (JLU), Guy, John and Jessica. Weird decisions that were relatively innocent at the time but have now snowballed over time into a big problem for the GL fandom.
  24. Guy Gardner, apart from the awful suit, may be our greatest hope of a faithful GL adaptation in the DCU. After his treatment of John and the GL ring in the last issue of Wonder Woman I’m not sure i have faith that Tom King has even written John with justice.
  25. Just seen the new leak for Lanterns Gunn, if you pressure Lego to make a comic-based GL mech with Guy Gardner and/or John Stewart against Cyborg Superman, Zod or Sinestro for a MOT tie in then all will be forgiven.
