Oh wow. So much detail, and so many torso prints. LOVE it so much.

I’m really hoping for Rowlf. With the obvious mould investment in heads, I’ve also been thinking about whether any sets might happen. Lego Muppet Christmas Carol D2C anyone? #nocheesesforusmeeses

Yeah, I think the jury is out still - the hinted ‘frog figure’ could well be Kermit rather than a frog costume. That said, Lego does sometimes double up with things like this - think penguin and penguin costume in Series 16.

Bruley! Hooray!

Hmm. I appreciate it’s all speculation at the moment, but were a ‘Muppets’ CMF to happen, I would expect it to include Muppets, Sesame Street and maybe even other characters like the Fraggles*. That would be in keeping with how the Disney CMFs operate, and allow them to reuse some of the existing moulds made for the Sesame Street set. Of course Licensed series can also have a varying number of slots, and indeed a varying number of series. To that end - worth watching if this seems to be a ‘standalone’ ‘complete’ series (arguably like Looney Tunes) or one setting up for another (as the Simpsons and Disney definitely did). * and yes, this may be wishful thinking, but I’m an optimist like Boober.

Seems that Matthew Ashton is teasing us again

And totally doesn’t fit with the owls, penguin, ostrich, flamingo, gull, eagles or even the small bird. I am a wee bit torn, as I genuinely appreciate the sculpted animals without printing, they can be useful in many ways - but Lego has crossed the bridge on this one, and it really needs some consistency for interoperability of the critters.

Valid. The cobra is an odd outlier in this too. Also, the hermit crab and lobster having eyes makes the crab look outdated 🤨

Same. JVN will be the first ‘canon’ non-binary Lego character, right? And given their normal attire, and the fact that minifigs don’t get high heels. I think a skirt is a good compromise.

Yes to all of this. Antoni could use a few different hairpieces but I think it will be the now-standard swept back hair. Will JVN get a skirt? I’d also guess that Karamo has a baseball cap. plus hoping Bruley the French Bulldog is included.

100% I have both versions

Same mould, different colour. The one in 60302 is ‘normal’ green, rather than the dark green

Can honestly see the Brick costume returning a few times in different ways, maybe the next Pride-themed set will be a rainbow of Brick costume figures. 🟥🟧🟨🟩🟦🟪⬛️⬜️🟫

Agreed we need ‘bigger’ dogs represented. I’d like to see some mongrel mutts too. to date the dogs we have in City / system are: 1 shepherd (various prints for German shepherd, and recoloured for Dalmatian); 2 husky; 3 chihuahua; 4 terrier; 5 French bulldog; 6 bulldog; 7 dachshund; 8 retriever all of those come in at least two colour or print variants.

For sure, the Loft set basically changes every series. I think that means they will be quite generic in the set we get, albeit with some key series details. Can’t wait for the set.

Would make it the first year for a while when City didn’t introduce new dog moulds, no? retrievers in 2021, bulldogs in 2020… but I agree they are probably usual suspects.

That sleigh set is fantastic. Four reindeer is such a surprise. I’m hoping they might be a new colour or print, but they look to be the same as the already-released one.

Ooh exciting to see new parts - especially that piggy

Your pirates, castle & city *aren’t* ‘gay themed’ already? I always figured that was why they were mostly male minifigures … 🤷🏽‍♂️

It would be quite bizarre if we jump back up to 16 figures after just one regular series with 12, but, hey, this is Lego - who knows?

So, I recently bit the bullet in ordering some of the new ‘Barn Owls’ from Bricklink - and kinda amazed (and delighted) to get this marvellous misprint in amongst them. It’s printed entirely on the wrong side, which kinda makes sense as the mould is vaguely symmetrical. PS - yes I know owls can turn their heads around, thanks.

Ultimate Collector Series - Tesseract

Can’t believe the ‘dalmatian’ hasn’t had a makeover YET

… Yeah I’m pretty sure a Disney series 3 would stick to the same number of figures. So here’s my wish list: 1. Christmas Mickey 2. Christmas Minnie (Pluto as accessory) 3. Goofy 4. Clarabelle Cow 5. Donald (black & white classic, to match monochrome Mickey & Minnie from series 2) 6. Daisy (black & white, as above) 7. Snow White 8. Evil Queen 9. Cruella De Vil 10. Merida 11. Rafiki 12. Tiana 13. Dr Facilier 14. Miguel (from Coco: Dante as accessory) 15. Carl (Up) 16. Russell (Up) 17. Mulan (Mushu as accessory) 18. Lilo
