Well, that is bizarre. They knew while making the movie that there wasn’t a chance of the design making any sense...

Can someone post on when we should see official details for the the first wave of 2021 and when we should see them hit stores?

I guess they’ve been taken down because I don’t see them where I think I would. EDIT: Nevermind. I see it now.

The rumor is $70, which is the same US retail price as the 75211: Imperial TIE Fighter set from Solo.

Odd. When did you order? My order date was back in February and the LEGO representative said that they simply cannot charge against PayPal that far back.

I needed to contact LEGO via phone to update payment information as I was told PayPal could not be used for pre-orders since they only charge you when a product ships. And since they are backed up, I was on hold for over 30 minutes waiting for a representative. Who knows why they accept PayPal for pre-orders or why there isn't another way to update your payment info online. I called them on Saturday. Today, it states that the label has been created and that the package should arrive tomorrow.

Well, I'm stumped.

I sure hope so. My fingers are crossed.

Yes, I'll follow up. Personally, I am more concerned with the risk that anything that already has been approved past the 10K point may be rejected when it comes time to select the final approved sets.

I tried to submit a Bluecoat Fortress to LEGO Ideas last week and received the following feedback today: What's odd is that there is no mention of the Pirates of Barracuda Bay set; it's simply a Pirates related set. So, it seems any future Pirates themed ideas may be declined outright...

I know it's not the same, but I've also created an updated version of 6276 - Eldorado Fortress: I had to build up the base using BURPs since TLG doesn't produce the raised baseplates anymore.

I'm hopeful they will offer one or two minifig sets like the recent 40372: Police MF Accessory or 40373: Fairground Accessory sets, except with a mix of pirates and/or soldiers. Really, I'm thinking of something like 1989's 6251: Pirate Minifigures set.

I wish. I'd even be fine if they released more Bluecoat sets. But I wonder if the stone sculpture from the 6262 : King Kahuka’s Throne Islanders set is actually a clue to an upcoming, updated adversary...

Interesting that the recently leaked Hammerhead shark isn't included. It must be dedicated to the Creator 3-in-1 pirate ship.

I'm actually quite surprised by this... If I go to my local Target - there are plenty of each of the other types. But the Star Wars area is bare or only has a few sets.

If you do have trouble you can try ordering from Barnes and Noble. I order mine from them on Sunday and received it yesterday with free shipping as a B&N Member. If you're not a B&N Member - you can always ask to ship to a local store and they will hold if for you.

#4 sounds like it could be the main character.

Hmmm... None leftover for me. I two applied on steps 185 (page 134) and steps 381 (page 220) in the instruction manual.

My wife likes being prepared for large purchases and has asked me many times since the UCS Millennium Falcon set was announced whether or not we're getting it. I have continually told her no and that I would rather spend that amount of money on a UCS ISD, hoping that one would be released. Over the past few months I've been not-so-subtly letting her know that the UCS ISD announcement was imminent and that it was rumored to be $700 USD. So, she's expecting us to get it. But after seeing it, I just don't know... I was really hoping for an interior and some very unique minifigures - with some prints that are actually accurate for the time. If this is actually the Devastator (seen at the beginning of A New Hope), then the Officer shouldn't have a Lieutenant rank insignia from the Empire Strikes Back. Commander Praji would have been an ideal choice but a Moff or Admiral from A New Hope would have been great too. Even the Officer seen on for a few seconds during Rogue One would have worked. And why does the printing on the Imperial Technician look so terrible in the official image? Is that really what it looks like out of the box?

I really don't know what to say about this wave. Altogether, I'm not at all impressed and don't see anything that's necessarily a "must buy". I don't even think I'll get the A-Wing, even though I'm usually a sucker for those. Maybe I'll wait for a sale... The characters I'm most interested in are the Knights of Ren and the Mandalorian figures. But I can't justify buying a new/different version of a shuttle I already own just for the former but maybe I'll fold on the walker.

Well, that's... disappointing. On another note: are there any new pieces being used for the 75244: Tantive IV set, not counting the printed minifigure parts or new colors? I've looked through the pictures but don't see anything.

The sets look pretty good but I don't see a compelling reason to get any of them. And why are they back to the old helmets for the Snowspeeder?

Yeah, it's not like I have a huge interest in trees or anything. I just think they go wrong more often than right in LEGO sets. The only brick-built trees I can even think of that look good to me are those from 10247 : Ferris-Wheel:
