Ooh, is she from anything? 'Cause that's an awesome costume. Also, nice new face.

Jestro's Evil Mobile was $60 and only had two minifigures. So it may be unsatisfying, but it's certainly not impossible.

I just don't understand the idea. If he really is a Highwayman...why? That seems a little too obscure for even the Minifigures line, especially if he's some sort of mystery gimmick. In fact, nobody wearing a tricorne and a cape seems suitable for the honor.

Oh, I'm not a big fan of the model myself. I have no use for a scale-wonked ghost ship with a necessary display stand. I don't hate it...just don't need it, either.

Two? Now that's a good deal! Unfortunately, it means I have to get the set now...

I think you just proved pcvando's point. The large, minifig-eating sharks are usually found in larger sets. We will just have to wait and see what happened. Maybe we just got a leak of something we're never getting.

Or at least one of our questions- it being in the set. The other circumstances will still be a mystery if it's not. But if it's not in the set, then it'll be something else.

It's definitely a possibility, we just had the misfortune of knowing about it because there's no such thing as secrets anymore.

Just give me a plush Harley fig and I'm good to go. I mean, it's not like she's been ignored and has almost the most variations in the villain side anyway...

Oh, man, that's awful. I'm not sure how one is to handle this kind of thing, either. I hope you can get what you're missing.

If that's true about it ending, can I just say... ...what a relief. I'm already way behind, and I'd never be able to catch up if it went past Year 3. I like the game, but I'd much rather go back to traditional TT LEGO games.

I don't think Micro Bizarro is that far off from regular, though- pop some full-length legs on him and he's a pretty good substitute.

Agreed. LEGO often reserves new molds for repeated use, and even if they'll never be seen again, they need a wide release to profit off of the mold. So a polybag for the shark isn't implausible, but it would have to see future use. An exclusive set, though, might make it work, but again- future use.

Too bad the Ninjago Movie sets were barred from photography- everything would have been clear... or at least the possibility might have been eliminated. Honestly, if it saves me from having to get this set, I'll be very glad if the shark is somewhere else. I like the ghost figures, but I don't really like them, and the ship itself doesn't grab me that much.

LEGO has officially said no more planned POTC sets, so unless that shark is in another theme, it's either the Silent Mary or nowhere.

I love the way a swallowed minifigure can be seen inside. If it's never released, count me among the sorely disappointed.

I only wish the Battle Suit had a black cockpit- that would be very useful.

(I made sure I wasn't treading on anyone's bios this time.) Mayor "Just checking...you're not a bad guy, right?" LEGO City is governed by the popular Mayor. He may be a bit old-fashioned, but he tries his hardest to keep up with the times and make his citizens happy. While he is mostly successful in this regard, he's been victim to crime many times over, yet he vows not to waste money on high-tech security. "Where's my connection to the people if I do that?" he says. His prized key to the city goes only to those he trusts...unfortunately, he's a very trusting man! Thank goodness for the LEGO City police force!

Oops, sorry, I forgot to check.

The Watchtower is closer to the JLA's Helicarrier, as it's a space station serving as HQ.

Pinata Party Boy "A little to the left, you said?" The Pinata Party Boy loves nothing more than parties, but when faced with the classic party tradition, he undergoes a moral dilemma. Sure, he loves candy, and nothing is more satisfying and fun than the shower-and-scramble that ensues with a successful burst, but does he really have to hurt that cute pony? He tries his hardest to prolong the game, but he can't pretend to aim wrongly for long, so most of his parties end with the pinata being opened delicately at the flap- everybody wins! Hat Maker "Have another cup of tea!" The Hat Maker originates from a wild and strange world where everything seems to work upside-down. Besides the occasional royal court hearing and messenger work, the Hat Maker spends very little of his time actually hatting- he's most often occupied hosting confusing tea parties with his compatriots. The only problem is, he doesn't always get his guests right- the Bunny Suit Guy has been made to endure many a party under the Hat Maker's mistaken impression that he was the Crazy Rabbit. Ah, well. They all have fun in the end! (sorry for inventing a character here) Egyptian Empress "Aren't I beautiful? Here's a hint: yes." The vain and haughty Egyptian Empress likes nothing more than to celebrate her loveliness while allowing all royal responsibilities to fall to her husband, the Pharaoh. Sculptures of her adorn her court, and she has many paid loyal followers to tell her how wonderful she is. As she is the queen, she does exercise her royal prerogative from time to time...that is, whenever any foolish subject denies her natural splendor!

I thought the cowl thing was done by altering the print under the eyeholes- just like the way his bandanna is printed with different eyes under the helmet- I didn't think the actual cowl shape changed.

Or the S13 Goblin for Norman Osborn in the Spidey theme...or the Tiger Woman for Julie Newmar. It's a great way to sneak in molds without having to pay for the license.

The animation of Harley's hair bugs me. I get it's more interesting if it's moving, but unless it's a rubber hairpiece, it should have no motion to it at all.

Forgive me if I'm infringing on the market, but here are my attempts: Evil Genie "That wish has dangerous consequences...so go right ahead!" The spiteful Evil Genie is frequently sealed inside his lamp for centuries at a time, and he gets pretty bitter about the imprisonment. Unfortunately for any unlucky Minifigure who comes across him, he encourages them to make wishes that are either dangerous to themselves, beneficial to him...or both! Luckily, the Evil Genie gets too caught up in his cruel fun, so the prospect of wishing him free is never reached before the three wishes are up. And so he returns to his lamp swearing to take revenge...until he forgets about it centuries later! Spooky Knight "Welcome to the castle! Prepare for terror...*sigh* it'll be $13, please." The terrifying Spooky Knight used to be a menace upon the ancient castles, popping out and frightening brave heroes and distressed damsels for fun. He even managed to conquer a few kingdoms for his own, and earned much renown and glory for his conquests of feat. However, today, he works at a haunted house, entertaining paying customers who ask to be frightened for fun. Sure, he can spook people, and he does it well, but when his victims have to be carried out of the house by costumed monsters, it just isn't the same. Homebound Guy "Sorry, boss...yeah, again. I know." The poor Homebound Guy is always stricken with some sort of illness, which makes his life very difficult. He has limited contact with other Minifigures, he can't go to work, he has to take horrible medicines, and he's reduced to lying around all day doing nothing. But hey, it's not all bad. His mom always fawns on him, and he gets to spend the day watching reruns of his favorite shows. At least he's not the Clumsy Guy!
