Yeah a real clone brand would be like Lepin for example. They just straight up copy Lego sets 1:1, but worse quality. I'm glad companies like Lumibricks exist because more competition benefits the consumer.

Yeah for sure, it just gave me TCW movie vibes.

I think it could be considered a Clone Wars movie set, since Obi wan and Ventress duel on Teth in those outfits.

Midi scale Death Star 2 sounds cool.

So do you have any proof of this? I haven't bought from them before, but from what I've seen their part quality and customer service are solid. As for trademarks...? No they aren't violating any trademarks; the patent for plastic interlocking bricks is long expired and LEGO wasn't even the one to invent the interlocking brick, Kiddicraft was. For $220 which is really pushing it, it's certainly reasonable to print all those extra details you're talking about.

Lumibricks cost way less than Lego and they print all their pieces.

I don't think LOTR needs to be an evergreen theme for Lego, but I think a few years of sets would be very popular. Just look at how expensive the old sets are, there's clearly a market for smaller sets. I think LOTR is more popular among older kids rather than young, given the comparative maturity to HP. The 2012-2014 LOTR and Hobbit sets among my friends and I were well liked.

I like the idea of getting Delta squad but I doubt they'd do anniversary figs for the Clone Wars, especially when 2029 is the 30th anniversary of the theme as a whole. I like your UCS ideas, the U-wing could really be done justice at that size. Lucrehulk with an interior would be insanely cool. I'm surprised you left out the Tie Avenger, unless you think there's still a chance in 2027.

I'm a bit surprised it's lasted this long without much new content. The Fantastic Beast movies weren't very popular outside of maybe the first one. I suppose the game from a few years ago was pretty popular. I'd gladly see a theme like LOTR replace HP.

You think? I don't really expect them to make any more Indy sets unless we get new content. I think the 2023 wave would've been pretty perfect if they didn't cancel that Temple of Doom set, the wave felt incomplete without it.

I definitely agree the old sets were basic, but I think they had some charm. For 3818, $120 seems a bit steep for a used one, considering it retailed for $50. At that point I'd rather bite the bullet and get the new one, perhaps on sale. The secondary market for SpongeBob isn't 06 Batman levels but they're still a bit steep for my liking, at least the better sets are.

The set looks fantastic, but honestly I kind of preferred when the builds were a bit simpler/smaller and therefore cheaper. I love SpongeBob but don't have a ton of space and $220 is a fair bit for a Lego set (for me at least). Almost every licensed theme that gets brought back these days is paywalled behind a $200+ price point. If they do the Krusty Krab I hope it's more in the $100-$150 price range.

I looked it up and they are indeed more expensive now, in my head they should still be $200.

Perhaps, I thinks it's rumored to be $200 so hopefully not too small.

Yeah he probably should've clarified the correct amount here.

I agree, although apparently it can be easily modded into a modular.

And the theater isn't a Star Wars set just because it has a few references. This argument could go both ways. I mean, you could certainly group it with holiday themed sets. Most people probably display it with their Christmas decorations rather than Star Wars sets. I think it's fair to say the cinema is drastically different than any other Star Wars set ever made.

A palace cinema could easily double as a generic city set, While the Disney Castle and Train are specific to Disney. Is the new Lava Land Roller Coaster Park a Power Miners set? I think it's sort of a grey area. If you had a City display and a Star Wars display where would you put it?

Part 3!

Will the Theater be considered a Star Wars set? It sounds more like a City adjacent set than a true Star Wars set. Still sounds pretty cool though.

This sums up my thoughts as well. Like why would I want a BTS diorama instead of the actual scene? I want to be immersed in the movies, not reminded about how it's all fake.

I think it's the best Microfighter we've ever gotten, even if it is a little overpriced.

I agree maxifigs are a terrible subtheme for Star Wars. I think it works better for Lego IP stuff like the classic spaceman.

I said the design is cool but I still passed on the previous Kylo Ren shuttle's and I certainly wouldn't buy a remake. I sold any sequel sets I had back in 2020, I now own 0 ST sets and would never buy one again. I'm sure there's a market for Sequel sets but it's a lot smaller than the market for PT, OT, Clone Wars. Do you really think there are many people who would buy a resistance bomber? It'd cost well over $100 and it's from the movie that killed Star Wars. There's a major difference which is that the Blue Squadron X-Wing released alongside a movie. The sequels are 10 years old at this point. Brutal indeed, my most desired fig, in my least desired set.

Naming one ship I liked across the entire trilogy isn't really much praise. I wished the sequels showed the next evolution of ship/vehicle design since it took place 30 years after ROTJ. We should've seen more E-Wings and B-Wings. And why were Y-wings in TROS? they were outdated even by the OT. From a more casual fan perspective they pretty much fill the same niche. I remember as a kid I didn't get the new ST X-Wings because I had the 2012 X-wing, I preferred getting the newer designs like the FO transport ship. I could see them doing a Black One X-Wing in 2035 for the 20th anniversary of TFA. Pretty much the only time they acknowledge the sequels these days is for an anniversary.
