Clone OPatra

According to New Elementary's list, which I believe they get direct from LEGO and the PaB team, the baby airtsnk heads from the GWP will be added soon.

That's representative of a certain segment of LEGO fandom, but not consumers broadly. Minidoll themes are obviously successful, and LEGO (probably with input from Disney) made a calculated decision to do a Minidoll line for this film. As an adult fan who also doesn't really care for minidolls themselves, I still feel that sets containing them are some of the best LEGO is producing at the moment (Botanic Gardens, upcoming Victorian BnB for my personal tastes, but the rest of the Friends line and Wish sets are on par or better than every other line of playsets). These days, I think anybody who is completely put off by the mere fact that a (good) set contains minidolls rather than minifigures isn't thinking about it quite enough. I'm a huge minifig fan so I get that not having minifigures for a new property is a drag, but a good set is still a good set, if these turn out to be good.

Any and all Licenses LEGO has ever done in any form, besides Star Wars (just because Star Wars has its own forum and contest right now). In a previous contest someone did Spice Girls, which was fine. You could do Nesquik Bunny. We're relaxed about it.

It was never going to have the eye-catching beauty of Rivendell, but it's huge and grand in its own right. I love to see the lengths they go to with the Minifigures too.

I'm aware that this thread is a bit wayward - but honestly, so is LEGO's DC output. As long as people are having a good time and it stays positive, I'm not going to come in and crack the whip to tell everyone to get back to LEGO when there's just not that much LEGO to discuss here. As long as there is room for people who want to discuss the actual LEGO to do so, and everything stays clean, you can carry on.

Worth noting that the exclusive Bionicle mask slope prints were also available on PaB, so there's really data points in either side and all we can do is wait and see.

Seeing some of the LAN reviews, I've certainly warmed to the Great Hall set - I think there's no denying that it's actually quite big and therefore detailed looking from a distance, and would be fun to play around with, plus setting the Great Hall on its mountain is a cool effect. However, on principle, as a toy for kids I still think it's way too big and expensive. Let kids have a Great Hall set at an affordable-enough price for a wide variety of families, something the 2018 one certainly achieved.

LEGO Star Wars never performed as well in Germany, where it is outperformed by City. This was made public in the published annual reports. Star Wars as a brand has killed a lot of its own hype though, and it feels like LEGO Star Wars has more adult skewing sets than it once did, but there are still plenty of sets with kids being the target market. We've also seen with the wild success of the Harry Potter theme that there doesn't even need to be new media for children to engage with a property. Kids can watch all of Star Wars, including Clone Wars, on Disney+ after all.

It was introduced in the most recent Friends reboot, but has since also been used in grey for a statue in the museum modular (from memory). It's got a hole on top so you can accessorize fun-loving Karkaroff with all manor of things.

Jay's Brick Blog has them listed as June, as does JB Spielwaren, an actual retailer. Where have people seen these would be August releases?

I think they'll be exactly the same, both the new reddish orange. Compared against the orange on Johnny's (ugly) buggy, the red panda is redder.

Here: https://www.instagram.com/p/C6cg4-qLeaz/?igsh=MWx5ejFhbGV2bno3Yg== There is also a photo on the back of the Great Hall box kind of showing it with the boat house. My gosh that's a lot of wands in Ollivander's!!

Oh wow. With more pics of the ship, I just love it. Great to see they've crammed in interior where they could, and the building techniques will surely be fun to see. The Minifigures are just stunning too. So detailed, so many new prints, well chosen parts, and hilariously, not a major character in sight for a large set! I don't even feel compelled to complain that there only five because the set is just doing it for me! I never would've thought the two standout sets of a year for me would've been a Hagrid's Hut and a Durmstrang Ship.

The extra photos of the Potions class showing it closed up are quite cool - but dang that set seems way too expensive. It looks like $25, maybe $30 USD MAX. I also have to feel like, while the system is cool - at what cost? Are they going to do further sets with rock shells? Will they use this system for above ground rooms in the castle as well? Or, will these two sets really be the only ones with this type of compatibility, and future sets in "this" system be just standalone things like the Owlery. You can't see the interior when it's folded up and placed into the Great Hall set.

Pic is out! That's a lot of sails! I'm not into ships but I like it. Sure it's perhaps on the small side, but no action takes place on the ship or the carriage, so their size makes good sense to me.

I recall it also being a friction issue, that translucent arms wouldn't play well with a translucent torso, but that might have been with the old translucent formulation and not the newer one. They could absolutely come up with a decent solution for force ghosts. Personally I think the face print on trans heads don't tend to show up so well, so a light blue solid colour head, torso and hips with trans arms and legs could be better.

Totally agree and I popped into the City discussion to share a similar sentiment. I was ok with the balance for the Africa subtheme since those builds made enough sense for the terrain, but I was really hoping we'd see more jungly builds leaning into ruins and things like the last jungle subtheme. Johnny seems out of his element without much to actually explore!

I think that's reading too much into it and LEGO is instead experimenting with having many options at their disposal to use whichever one they see fit in any particular instance. The lack of waistcapes on clones also would've signalled that "LEGO doesn't do cloth waistcapes any more" - and then LEGO proceeds to bust them out for Dreamzzz. For sure there are some types of things that will never return, but I don't think the existence of several rubber capes in Superheroes spells the end of cloth elements at large.

Perhaps because designer insights are novel and fun, whereas your tired point about these Space sets happening to be under the City brand is neither novel nor fun.

Cool ghost and new house scarf variant! That Flitwick looks even less like himself now that they've gone for the generic Santa beard. The Hobbit beard was already a little bit of a stretch. I'm really not seeing how those statues or really much from the Advent Calendar could be crammed into the new Great Hall, but we'll see.
