Plissken

I bought the Tomb set today, just because it has my favorite Indy outfit in it (complete gear with gloves). The other two will follow in June, when normal retailers play their discount game :D. The set is better in hand and a fun build. I will put a lot more snakes in it and fill out some of the empty space behind the statues. Maybe add a skeleton to the back section. As an added Info, the set I bought only contains one hat piece. Seems like the early sets with two hats were something special.

My first thought after reading this vague Statement was: "Maybe the DoD wave is so lackluster that they needed a great Set to optimize the wave and the Temple is released later this year." Wishful thiking, but who knows? :D

I'm a Fan, too. I've waited a long time to buy new stuff, too. And guess what? We all are going to be able to buy new Indy-merch in the coming months, even new Lego. The Leaks are exactly this, leaks, never meant to see the light of day. It's great for us to see new pictures and speculate, but it's not Legos Job to reply to that. I think they have their reveal planned and stick to it. Maybe it's in the last week of march and they reveal the first DoD set with it? We don't know and we won't change their plan with constant speculation about how bad they are treating this line. All we know is, that we are getting three Sets at least. And that makes me happy.

This is a bit dramatic, don't you Think? In the comments of the article on Zusammengebaut they say, that they are still waiting for Lego to give them an explanation. They know nothing more than us. I don't buy the controversy-rumour. Like others said, all of these Sets held "problematic" stuff. I'm leaning more to a quality problem. Maybe some new part doesn't hold up over time, and the reschedule of the movie was a blessing to fix the error and release the set at a later time.

The Osprey had a part destroying mechanism. The uproar about the vehicle being military came pretty handy for them. They never mentioned this design flaw. We can assume that these sets are over a year old. Maybe some parts don't work so well and will be replaced with newer ones? Maybe ToD is a retailer exclusive and will clog the shelfs in every Smyths Store coming April 1. We still don't know and this pessimistic attitude in this thread is very exhausting and based only on assumptions (as are mine, more positive views 😉). So let's just wait and see. I'm pretty sure, that everybody will get his Indy-fix😁

They used this picture: Promo shot It is from Temple of Doom!

Maybe it's just me, but if Muldoon isn't one of the two figures, the set looses all appeal.

Exactly! This whole cancellation-discussion got way out of hand without anything verifiable. A lot of rumors and guessing without any real evidence. I also think that we will get the ToD set a little bit later down the line.

After inspecting these clearer pictures I noticed that Indys hat got more generic. The old one got the top shape right. This new one got a complete different style. Still good looking.

The whole ToD-situation is even more funnier because the boxes got a picture of ToD Indy on their sides :D I'll be optimistic that the set will be released at a later date and that a third and maybe final wave will be released in the spring of 2024 mirroring the release in 2008/2009.

Thank you! Thank you! The boat felt a little bit small besides the Old Fishing Store. With the added length it is a more natural fit and will be displayed beside the house.

When the first pictures of the theme appeared, I fell in love with the little Shrimp boat. It was the first set I bought from Hidden Side and I liked it a lot. But I also thought that it could be bigger and better. So I modded the Wrecked Shrimp. First I got rid of the ugly colour wheel/engine thing. I added two inverted slope segments to lengthen the boat and moved the bridge to the end. In front of it I added the new engine hidden under a wooden facing. Then a movable mast and fishing net, a crate and some barrels. The mod was complete and I was happy And a little horrific scene. Father and son were shocked, as they discovered what the net brought to the surface. Unbeknownst, that a unspeakable terror is right behind them...

Ah! I just realised, that the Baryonyx uses the Indoraptor legs and got the raptor-claws on his feet. I know, it's a toy and it still looks great, but it's absolutely inaccurate. A small letdown regarding this cool dinosaur...

So much great stuff. Congrats to everyone... It is a good start for the year, let's hope this amount of cool pieces will become the new standard.

Lego was quick. Two days ago, I received my latest haul. I'm happy :D

I'm stunned, in a really bad way. For an anniversary line, the models are very underwhelming. The extra Minifig in each set raises the prices (Dropship ) and relies mainly on the nostalgia of us fans to spend money. Except for the Snowspeeder (the only reason to buy is: I don't have one) and the Pod-Racer, none of the sets are very great. Disappointing...

Thanks for the information and the selection of pieces. I did a quick look-through and found the identity discs and torsos from Tron, almost all printed parts from the Bottle Ship, the new fireaxe and torsos and printed tiles from the pop-up book. Lego did stock up well :D

Saw the film today and there are a lot of set-possibilities with great designs. I think Lego is cautious with movie-tie-in-sets for "smaller" films. It's not only DC, Marvel gets this treatment as well. Maybe they won't oversaturate the superheroes like they did with other themes and licenses...

I couldn't find this topic so I hope I didn't start some duplicate thread. Seeing the new Ninjago set pictures, I realized that many, if not all, newer sets got some kind of blueprint picture. Some research on S@H showed that many new sets got this blueprints, but not all. Does anyone know, if this is becoming a common thing where every new set got a blueprint? And is there a way to download this pictures at high resolution? I'm thinking about to print some of them and use them as backgrounds for the sets. Thanks in advance for your help.

I really like the hospital, but is there a patients room anywhere? The top room is definitely an exam room or surgery. In this case, everybody is bound to leave after they were treated It's not a deal-breaker for me, but an little extra room for the patients to get well would have made it perfect. (maybe buy a second set and fill the empty floors with beds ).

Thank you. I'd missed the info about the exclusive set.

Wasn't there a rumour about an orca in one of the arctic sets? I coldn't spot anything that would resemble a whale-mold...

My first MOC since ages I was watching Episode II today and was a little bit upset that there is no update for the coruscant speeder pursuit. So I decided to make my own Coruscant Speeder. And with the first pictures of Han Solo sets appearing, I thought: "Lets make it Han Solos Speeder." And here it is. Totally flimsy. That is, because I only used the parts of set #75918. That made the building challenge a bit harder I hope you enjoy it.

I really like the Luke figure and I like the fact, that it is the bright costume. Looks more Jedi-like than the dark one. The new hairpiece is fantastic. It would be perfect for an Ego (Guardians of the Galaxy 2) figure (or any other long-haired Kurt Russell character )

Finally I came along these suggestions. I tried the hairpiece on Anakin and Kylo and think both figures benefit al lot from it. Only thing I didn't do was painting the hair. So I did a quick digital hair-dye. It is not perfect, but you get the idea.
