  1. I’ll do you one better. ISD microfighter with Thrawn.
  2. Echoes of the 2020 501st battlepack and 2022 Clone Blister pack. Congratulations to those of you who managed to buy Barad Dur with the Fellbeast in time. My condolences to those who weren’t so lucky.
  3. Counter idea (nothing against Jessica she’s one of my top DC characters but we’ve already gotten her) Kyle Rayner is the figure. You have the options to make construct: mechs, a small pirate Galleon and Kaiju.
  4. I know that it’s unlikely, but now that we know that a Star Wars Total War videogame is in development, is it possible that Lego could release a bunch of Battlepacks for the in-game factions to coincide with its release?
  5. I was thinking add a yellow and/ or red lantern to the mix. Or not make it that large or a set. £20-30 at most.
  6. There was only one way for him to prevent villains kicking him in the balls and getting away. On the subject of kids. Just give them a creator Lantern set where they can actually let their imaginations run wild by building their own unique constructs.
  7. Maybe anniversary sets tomorrow? And then Lego reveals the RTG sets and C3P0 in July?
  8. Any chance of more August reveals tomorrow?
  9. Well I think we can all agree that everyone, well maybe not Turtle, on this thread likes Dick (Grayson)
  10. It’s come to my attention that Andor season 2 is the only scheduled content that’s coming out next year. June 2025 wave predictions (early) ISD microfighter (£12.99): Thrawn. Captain Rex Mech (£12.99): Captain Rex Andor Season 2 set (£39.99-89.99) Defence of Kashyyyk Battlepack (£19.99): 2x 41st Elite corps scout trooper, 1 41st AT RT driver and a Wookie Warrior. August 2025 wave predictions (early) Corporate Alliance tank droid and Dwarf Spider droid (£34.99): Yoda, Chewbacca, 2 Kashyyyk B1 droids and a 41st clone trooper. Clone Turbo Tank (£149.99): Commander Gree, Quinlan Vos, Luminara Unduli, Chief Tarfful, a 41st Clone trooper (not in camouflage) and 2 B2 battledroids. Endor AT ST (£49.99): AT ST pilot, Scout Trooper, Stormtrooper, Rebel Commando (Rex) and Wicket. A-Wing (£29.99): Admiral Ackbar, Mon Mothma and a A-Wing pilot. Endor Imperial Bunker (£119.99): 2 stormtroopers, 1 scout trooper, 2 DS troopers, 1 imperial officer, Endor Han and Endor Leia. Z-95 headhunter vs Vulture Droid (£99.99): P2 Clone Pilot, General Kenobi, Captain Rex, R2 D2 and a B1 Battledroid pilot. Buildable B1 Battledroid (£109.99): Battle Droid and Nute Gunray. Luke’s Landspeeder (£24.99): Farmboy Luke (with hat and poncho), Ben Kenobi, C3 PO, and a Sand Trooper. (It’s been a suspiciously long time since the last play set one)
  11. But Battinson probably won’t have a Dick to be part of it. Dick was very important for that storyline in the comics. The Court of Owls are one of the redeeming qualities of the New 52. Well, them, the GL run, some of the redesigns and Forever Evil.
  12. I think you may have just cracked it. It’s probably the most logical choice. But Lego isn’t known for being logical at times.
  13. A little late, I know. But on this topic… I feel like that Star Wars may be fading unfortunately in some ways. If you look at earlier this year when it was revealed that there would be a Mandalorian and Grogu Movie, there was not much talk of it or even jubilation among the fan base. This is concerning as if new Star Wars content isn’t able to generate hype, Lego sets based on said new Star Wars content will not do well. And therefore make the theme seem less successful in Lego’s eyes. Another example of this was Star Wars Celebration last year. Where not one, not two but three Star Wars movies were announced by Lucasfilm. Did the fan base celebrate. No, quite the opposite really. Many were outraged at the news that Rey would be getting a new movie. Others were concerned about how James Mangold could easily screw up the lore with his Prime Jedi Movie (Indiana Jones 5 was not looking promising at all to many at the time. And of course it turned out to be a disappointment.) And barely any talked about the Mandoverse movie as it was eclipsed by the worries and concerns for the two former films. The new content frankly isn’t generating enough hype. Or they do but they end up being disappointing/ not meeting fan expectations. (Looking at you: Kenobi, TBOBF and Mando S3.) The fans leave the series disappointed and aren’t inclined to watch more Disney content in fear of disappointment. This results in the subsequent series, whether they are actually good like Andor (which casuals wouldn’t have been inclined to watch anyway) or not, receiving low viewership numbers. This makes Disney and toy companies think that, due to the seeming lack of interested consumers, the content will not be profitable enough to have more toys (in this case Lego sets) based off it. Thus meaning that whilst content that is good but relatively low in viewership barely gets any sets, the more high profile series like Ahsoka, Kenobi and Mando will get sets, but will end up not selling as well. Thus causing Lego to retreat back into making more movie sets and barely any based off new content. As seen this year. I don’t think I’ve encountered a person so far that’s looking forward to obscure shows like Skeleton Crew. And seeing that Lego’s only planned release for that show is a £100+ set, Lego appears to be setting themselves up for failure. Whilst the animation department of Star Wars has a lot of set potential that even casuals will buy. Lego and Disney look at the viewership numbers, which are unfortunately always fated to be lower than live action content, and decide not to make sets. (Aside from CW ones to appease the “Clone Bros”) In short it’s a vicious cycle. New content gets released, Lego makes sets, fans dislike content because it supposedly “butchered” yet another fan favourite, Lego sets based on show don’t sell so well, less people watch subsequent content even if it’s good, this causes it to be ignored in the future by Lego and other toy companies, hype train is worn down. Resulting in less people watching the content that’s good. When there is good content some people come back, only to be disappointed by the next piece of content. After being let down so many times, some people will become antagonised against Disney and stop watching content and introducing their kids to it all together. Thus generation by generation, less and less kids will become enthralled in Star Wars. And when they do they join the hype and then eventual disappointment train. If you’ve read this. I’m sorry if this sounded like I was rambling. And my apologies if i bored you. But thank you for reading. Personally my love for Star Wars will never die. I have been a Die Hard Star Wars fan since the age of 4 and always will be. But it’s the Casual Fans, who make up the majority of the Fanbase who are leaving, and that’s what we should be worried about. The less fans a franchise has the less relevant it becomes.
  14. Add a medieval warship to that list. With the Kraken emblem on the sails and a Lion Knight/ Black Falcon rowing boat for it to be fighting.
  15. What is your source? You’ve always got to be careful where you’re sourcing your information from. So please give me the sauce,
  16. Last I heard Clay Face was supposed to be the villain of The Batman 2. But since then I think James Gunn debunked that rumour. I think that we can definitely expect a Joker appearance. Sorry. It doesn’t look like Mr Cheese will be in The Batman 2.
  17. As long as there are a decent amount of normal Stormies that are either clean or battle-damaged then i’ll be happy. Something like: Incinerator Trooper, battle-damaged stormtrooper and 2 clean stormtroopers would be the dream. Add a scout trooper, let Sam Raimi direct and watch the box office explode!
  18. I don’t want to take any risks you psychopath. You’ll doom us all! So please cease your summoning or we will have to send you to the DC discussion thread. My condolences to those who were looking forward to Enoch. But let us pray for more and better imperial troops in January. Long Live the Empire!
  19. Almost. This is what I had in mind: 1) Invincible, 2) Omni-man, 3) Atom Eve, 4) Homelander, 5) Billy Butcher, 6) Starlight, 7) Deadpool (Grey X-Force suit), 8) Cable, 9) Domino, 10) Peacemaker, 11) Joker (2019 movie) and 12) Arkham Knight.
  20. No, no, no, no. He needs 5. One for each movie Batman: West, Keaton, Bale, Affleck and Pattinson.
  21. Please tell me it’s the Range Trooper mould. Don’t tell me it’s basic stormtrooper helmet with a gold print. Or is it the old AT ST driver helmet and a gold face print?
  22. Sentinel Attack (£29.99): Jubilee, Sunspot, Forge and Deadpool. X-Men 97 Porsche (£29.99): Cyclops, Jean Grey, Professor X and Cable. Comic Avengers Blister Pack (£12.99): Captain America (Classic), Ms Marvel (Classic), Vision (Classic) and Scarlet Witch (Classic).
  23. “Alright let’s do this one last time.” - Peter Parker. I like the night troopers. They look cool. But I really want a Stormtrooper BP to be next because it would have much more versatility. We don’t even know if, except for Enoch of course, they’re going to keep the red rags now that they’re back in the galaxy. As of now they’ve only been shown to fight on one planet. This is the same reason I don’t like the 332nd BP as much (aside from it having a named character). Stormtroopers, on the other hand, will have not had a BP in over six years by next year. So I’d say that stormtroopers, being the most common trooper type in Star Wars content, are in far dire need of a BP than the Night Troopers who have only as of yet been seen in one piece of content. Of course there are solutions to this conflict of interests. 1) They make an Imperial remnant BP with 2 Night Troopers and 2 Stormtroopers. 2) They make an imperial patrol gunship with Night Troopers as well as a normal Stormtrooper BP or Vice Versa. 3) They make both BPs in the same year. The last one being the least likely because of the damned “Clone Bros.” If I’m going to have to die on this hill, then so be it.
  24. I’m so sad that we’re never going to get *Title Card* sets. Hopefully one day Lego will make a CMF of all the more mature superhero franchises they haven’t done. They could include: *Title Card*, an updated Deadpool, Injustice characters and maybe even characters like Homelander and Arkham Batman. But they won’t. Which I’m at peace with at this point. And I know that I’m silly for wishing for such things. I’m also at peace with the possibility that Lego DC is dead and may never come back. Lego DC is gone. Lego Batman is all that remains.
  25. Mandr moment. Speaking of which. I would be interested to know you guys’ thoughts on the Rex’s Microfighter controversy. I think that it’s a good thing that allows kids to get a desirable character for a small price. And the only people who are complaining about it are those who were stupid enough to “Invest” in the venator’s figures. And are now salty that they can’t rob a Rex fan of $100-200.
