So, do you guys think the Mythic Guardians leak is legit?

>>11534086
Leak in question from last thread:

New original theme: Lego Mythic Guardians

Releases summer 2026.

>>11534077 (OP)
Man, Dragons Rising 2025 was so promising but the summer wave is lame, reusing the same villains but different color is lame as fuck

>>11534089
I hope it's true, wish Kramer was here to confirm

>>11534086
It's not real until I see lego battle wheelchairs.

>>11534086
>>11534089
It's a punk rock knights theme

Lego vidiyo meets nexo knights meets dreamzzz meets dnd

>>11534089
Someone send this to reddit

What were the best lego theme villains ever made? For me it's the ninjago movie fishermen

>>11534086
My source tells me it isn't going to be myths and legends like some people want, but rather elemental themed sets with a planet conscious climate change message to it.

>>11534115
Forgot pic

>>11534116
But is it called mythic legends or it has another name?

>>11534119
They mentioned it would have the full nametag "Mythic Guardians: Defenders of Legaia" keep in mind my source is just a distributor marketer for toy stores and not a lego designer

A few Monkie Kid sets are retiring in 2028, does this mean the theme is not ending and just taking a hiatus?

>>11534086

I cant choose. I have huge gaps in time where I dont know shit about lego though. And modern stuff kinda has a big lack of original themes. I feel like CMF had some cool shit I cant remember.

I can't choose I love legos

>>11534138
I forgot those fucking insane mutant dinosaurs and those crazy vidiyo bitches.

>>11534134
According to Fateful_04 on Instagram, we supposedly won't be getting any new Monkie Kid sets in 2026 so if anyone cares about this theme you should pick up the sets.

>>11534089
It's fake but we are getting a new original theme next year, it's like DnD but unlicensed and more scifi sort of but not like Nexo Knights, that's all I know for now. Perhaps best put it, let's say it'sthe West's history getting Monkie Kid treatment. Ok Arthur?

>>11534134
>>11534140
Yeah, I've been snagging up a few on the aftermarket. I'm hoping Black Friday will put a number of the current ones on sale. Would like to get the 9 headed beast, celestial pagoda, Megapolis City, Erlang's mech, and the team power truck.
Still a few retired sets I'm after, too, but they'll come later.

Nice minifig, a fortnite cmf would go hard and be better than f1 and spiderverse

Just build the evil z blob from dreamzzz raven set, I love it. Dreamzzz is cooking

Started to rebuild sets from my box or parts. God bless online manuals. I seem to be missing some parts so the plan is to rebulid sets as close as possible and catalogue all the missing parts.

Fright nights had so much soul. They were the coolest shit ever as a kid

>>11534335
You know, looking back on old sets, the concepts were pretty weird, lile dreamzzz or ninjago, so they were slop back then too

Did I cooked chat? I built the remaining sets from the LEGO Fantastic Four: Baxter Building and Fantasticar.

>>11534341
Uh huh.

>>11534341

lmao that ridiculous background "whoopsie look how rich I am" with all the sets on the shelves

when I found out they could wear headgear I wanted to put some kinda coifed hair on that one specifically because the face gave me game show host vibes for some reason.

Unironically the serpentine from 2012 were peak, all diverse villain tribes

Second are the pyro snakes mummies

Third are anacondrai cultists

>>11534115
Brickches better have my money!

fun fact: Lego originally wanted some aliens to be cops, but the test kids always put the aliens as bad guys, so they just went with it. they didn't want to confuse the kids

Wtf is wrong with kids?

Summer 2026

Free leak for you fags! The Zelda set next year will be the original NES LOZ map done in Lego meant to be hung on a wall like Hokusai's Wave. No minifigs. Similar to this, but the NES map and more flat.

They described to it as “a definitive Batman story spanning multiple years going from origin to legend, incorporating elements from various movies, tv shows, comics and video games”.

Like some sort of amalgamated Lego Batman Biopic.

How?

Thread in question, pure joy:
>>>/v/718319329

Hi!

I underwent an emergency ostomy surgery in 2024. Lego had just released a set that included a new minifigure with an ostomy.

They were so kind to send me the minifigure for free as a supportive gesture, and even went the extra mile to ask questions about my hair to make sure the wig matched.

I have cherished this minifig since my surgery, and how seen it made me feel. I don’t collect them, so I only have this one, but often times it gets tucked into a drawer because I don’t know how to display it since I only have one.

Any ideas?

>>11534524
Looks pretty good, but where is Adam West Batman???

looking back, was lego based for making the lion knights a tomboy kingdom?

What are you even talking about?

>>11534135
You have Ninjago.

>>11534714
buy some friends sets while you're at it

Farmer John faces down Lord Dragon. Been busy MOCing and reading comics, but just had the time to sit down and record a video for my Castle World MOC series. Should have the video up on Friday. He's had mortal combat with a mythic dragon and stolen the heart of Princess Charlotte. But soon Farmer John will have to stop the Curse of the Shifting Castle and defeat the dark Alchemist Zora before her foreign influences infect the kingdom.

>>11534335
I adore the minifigures but the sets don’t do much for me. I got the tall castle a year back or so. It’s definitely the best of the theme but the reality is once you get passed the height, it’s just okay. The sets are Perfect for expanding upon though. I suggest using those missing pieces as an opportunity to make the sets your own. That dragon powered airship thing is such a cool idea. Just needs to be fixed by (You)

>post moc to instagram / flickr, it get maybe 5 likes

>>11534335
Same here, albeit with all my 90s space.
Thinking of brickshelfing some unique pieces I don't have and filling in the rest to make additional sets I didn't originally own but ended up with parts from too.

>>11534039 #
>trash plastic quality
I came back to LEGO after like 20 years of not paying attention to it, and while I find the modern licensed slop and excessive tiny, smoothed, high piece count design to be kinda cringe try hard and not my cup of tea, it was the noticably worse plastic quality that really surprised me. I played and built with LEGOs a ton growing up, so the new pieces just felt wrong in various ways like being too shiny, smooth, or light weight

Anyone here remember EXOFORCE?

Surprisingly the LED brick in the mech STILL works. I don't have any of the other pieces, I have another blue mech with a bunch of scattered pieces in another box with random bricks but I can't be bothered to build it right now.

>>11534335

Farthest I got to was recovering my classic set minifigs. I don't know where the pieces to any of these sets are. I'm really disappointed in myself for having torn apart the classic firetruck that I had

>>11534863
exo force was cool
i only ever had uplink and fire vulture, but a neat theme none the less

>>11534714
Hahahaha, fucking manchild. Don't you know that's a children's toy? It even says 6+ on the box. Grow up, dude.

Digging through my old boxes I have found a distinguished gentleman to join the spooky collection. IIRC it's the lucius malfoy body with skeleton head and generic female hair, same hair model as the vampire bride

I like modern lego

>I give lego 10 years before going bankrupt
lego will eventually decline because they've shifted focus toward catering towards nostalgic adults at the expense of modern legos being too expensive for kids to afford. This is very profitable in the short-term, but it also means in the future there will be fewer people who grew up playing with legos as kids, and therefore won't be dropping fat stacks on the 18+ sets.

However, that's still a ways away. Still plenty of zoomers who grew up with legos in the mid 2000s and early/mid 2010s that they will be able to cater nostalgia to in the future. But it'll probably be the last generation that this strategy will work for. After that, lego goes the way of lionel trains. I give lego 30 years of life.

>>11534524

not the autism shelf

So I just checked my emails and found one from BrickLink regarding the forthcoming account mergers with Lego.com accounts...

Can someone tell me when the fuck this bullshit started, or was first announced, as I'm out of the loop?

>>11535053
Can you read bro?

>>11535087
How is it autism? I think its kino

What are some older kino sets that are not overpriced on bricklink that I should get?

>only 1 minifig
Cruel

>>11535095
It was announced awhile ago(maybe the beginning of the year?), and it's not really surprising since lego owns BrickLink.

>>11535190
good

>>11535190
it must be frustrating for Lego, that sets require a lot of Minifigures in order to be appealing

they throw extra random figures into Star Wars sets all the time

>>11535206

Ideally sets should have at least 2 minifigs. Think about it from the kid's perspective: As a kid sure you can get a spaceship and fly it around, but your "hero" (the minifig that comes with the set) needs something to interact with so you can actually play. Sure it could just explore, but kids play for adventure (mostly). So you need a villain or monster to oppose it.

If you just have a spaceship with a dude in it flying around it will end up collecting dust and in the future it is unlikely kids will pick up another set like it, or if it even sells at all in the first place. If you have a set with 2 or more minifigs that can be setup to be in an adventure, kids will be more likely to ask parents to buy it for them.

Nobody but AFOL autists buy sets for ONE minifig.

Anyone tried 3d printing animals in classic Lego style? I feel like stuff like this that's not overdetailed and without printing could work decently with a bit of smoothing

Is anyone autistic enough to find out from which set is this?

Found it in my box and I just can't place it, it's like on top of my head but I can't fully remember

>>11535179
This is pretty much the best one there is, and as a bonus it's still being sold.
For the retired ones i'd say zane's is the second best.

>>11535217
All sets should have 1 hero and 1 villain

As a kid I always wanted more villains for my good guy to fight

>>11535190
>>11535226
There are better deals, that have more minifigs like pic related. There was no reason for the Cole mech to not have 2 more minifigs.

>>11535251
Or this one is great too

Why is Lego Castle so kino bros? I want more sets..

>>11535268
mine didn't have it but I'm gonna keep checking

>>11535217
or simply make them like other action figure lines, less expensive and plentiful

so you can buy the one good guy you like, and the one bad guy you like

Lego did this with Exo-Force and Bionicle

>>11535294
Based. They should bring castle back like a full main line

>>11535294
So, tell me /lg/, should we expect another Creator Castle in 2026? Is this a tease?

Also, what Creator sets could we get next summer? This summer we got 3 interesting ones with the horse knight castle, unicorn castle and haunted mansion.

Maybe we get another pirate ship? The old one is retiring this fall.

>>11535313
I think Creator should introduce subthemes, like having two sets per year for Castle, Pirates, Space, Adventurers, or even a Western theme! One Creator set could be a 3-in-1, and if they’re well-designed, with two different 3-in-1 Castle sets, you could create some really cool builds. Lego fans would buy all of them! Just imagine how many Castle fans would purchase three or more of the same set to build all three models or MOCs. Also, I’d love to see a classic ninja dojo with samurai under Creator, because Ninjago is too modern for me.

>>11535313
I want a creator steampunk set

>>11535222
https://brickset.com/sets/7312-1/T-3-Trike

>>11535313
Creator Roman Colosseum with roman soldiers and gladiators

We should have more historical stuff in creator, the pieces for that exist thanks to cmfs and now they do new prints, we should get it. Fuck, imagine a greek themed creator set with a brickbuilt cyclops

>>11535304

I also thought about it, it would incentivize to get 2 sets (one hero one villain).

>>11535313

They should release one spooky set per year if they're not gonna make any other spooky themed series

>>11535304
I really hope lego learned a few things from the last few original themes (hidden side, monkie kid, vidiyo, dreamzzz) they did and apply those lessons on the next theme:
>no dumb app gimmick
>no big prices
>more affordable sets
>cool villains and heroes
>good sets designs
>good show and lore
My perfect original theme would have more $10 and $20 sets and a few $40, $50, $80 and $100 sets. Also no 18+ sets or dust collectors.

>>11535313
I really hope we get it, when should we get summer lists?

>>11535292

>I really hope lego learned a few things from the last few original themes (hidden side, monkie kid, vidiyo, dreamzzz) they did and apply those lessons on the next theme:

looks like Lego is going all-in, hardcore, full-steam-ahead, etc...
on the Electronic Poop Noise Brick
it will be in everything...

the hardest part will be convincing consumers that somehow Lego is even yet MORE expensive. (b-but electronics!)

greedy, pompous Lego will try and re-coup development costs quickly by doubling set prices, arrogantly assuming people already "get it" that it's the best new thing ever. in reality, the double-priced sets will tank, just like Vidiyo, and Lego will blame customers for not knowing what they missed

>>11535369
I hope the smart bricks are more in licensed sets than original themes sets so consumers move on to original themes

>>11535053
see >>11535101

I'm undecided on which sets to get or if I should wait for another discount for them:
>Creator Medieval Horse Knight Castle for $120
>DREAMZzz™ Mateo’s Spray Paint Truck for $80
>Creator Haunted Mansion for $88
>DREAMZzz™ Nightmare Shark Submarine for $110

That whole love triangle subplot was absolutely an ovulating woman moment.

>>11535391
Well yeah, deals like this happen all the time to retail sets, you just need to search for them, that's why I hate lego store exclusives like monkie kid because no crazy discounts

>>11534917
I miss the time that lego put x-99 on their boxes.
My goal was to reach the age of 100 and then have a meltdown in the lego store, suing them and die peacefully after winning the lawsuit.

>>11535392
The love triangle was dumb as fuck, funny Nya is now crazy after Rogue and he is like "I wanna get paid woman! Don't care about pussy!"

>>11535376
So what is the purpose of these smart bricks?
Do they react to movements and then make sounds? If so, i hope they can be turned off or aren't integrated into the set but easily removable.

>>11535408
>>11535409
not worth it

>>11535407
>react to movements and then make sounds
They react to tiles like Mario digifigs, difference is its one brick that works with everything. Also, we have electronic minifigs, they are like normal minifigs but have tech inside that makes sounds, I guess that's another reason why Lego Mario retires summer 2026 and we get a reboot in August 2026, probably will be smart minifigs.

>>11535408
I have lego fatigue, lego is pumping out so many new expensive sets every month like crazy. One of the important rules for premium brands is to not oversupply the market so it keeps the premium brand feel. Lego is turning into a funko-pop machine. The more it shits out the less people are going to care and the more it will lead to the downfall.

>>11535413
>They react to tiles like Mario digifigs,

I was never interested in the Mario sets so this is new for me. I will look at some reviews to get an idea.

I agree, I currently have a big stack of sets I'm working through (I'm an adult who can afford my own house, plus most were on discount so suck me) and I mind myself wishing they'd slow down a bit. A lot of these big sets really are good, there's just too many at once. One advantage to that though is it increases the chance of a set going on discount since they have to clear shelf space for all the new ones they keep pumping out.

Minifigures with tags
>Speaking of minifigures: LEGO had to come up with something new, because a regular minifigure simply doesn't offer enough space to house electronics. As with the Star Wars minifigures with illuminated lightsabers, LEGO has modified parts of the minifigures for the new system. The connection between the torso and legs is arguably much more compact, but the parts can no longer be separated by buyers. The tiny circuit board in the drawing is shaped almost like a vest, which is pushed into the torso from below before the legs are attached. Patent application WO2024223801 A1 covers this new minifigure design.

>Here you can see a charging pad, the design of which, as explained above, may of course look somewhat different in reality. But what is most important is how it works. According to the description, the pad creates a charging field (FIG. 3), so that the Smart Bricks or other components of the system with batteries do not have to rest directly on the pad, but can also be charged as part of a built model (FIG. 4, paragraph 91). This would also explain why we found the pad surprisingly large last year based on the now deleted images. Several Smart Bricks could be charged simultaneously (FIG. 8), whereby moving them or reorienting them on the pad could increase or decrease the charging rate of the individual Bricks (FIG. 9, paragraphs 107 f.).

>>11535437
Smart Brick
>Where the battery and charging coil are located in the Smart Brick is revealed by a patent for the brick itself: EP4591961A1 . Not only do we get an astonishingly detailed look at the brick's structure, but we also get confirmation (paragraph 161) that in addition to the charging system, processor, and communication components, it is also supposed to contain two LEDs , a loudspeaker, and a microphone , as well as an acceleration sensor and an unspecified "sensor system." A color sensor, which we had suspected based on the colorful geodes in the test sets and a side window in the brick's casing, is not explicitly mentioned here. However, it is mentioned in the patent specification WO2025157587 A1 for the brick's circuit board, where it refers to a light sensor for color measurement ("light detector [...] configured for color sensing"). A (future?) possible, extended version of the circuit board is also described, which could then contain, among other things, an infrared emitter, for example for communication or – in conjunction with the light sensor – as an optical motion sensor.

>Particularly interesting is the information that the brick is supposed to contain several coils arranged parallel on all sides. The purpose of this becomes clear when you take a look at the patent EP4591961A1 (“ELECTRONIC DEVICE WITH MULTIFUNCTION MAGNETIC SYSTEM”). This shows that the Smart Brick is apparently supposed to be able to detect the relative position of other system components . If I understand correctly, signals are received from all three spatial directions (with the respective coil), and the location of the other component is then determined based on the signal strength. So if, for example, a minifigure with a tag is standing to the right of the Smart Brick, the signal from this direction will be stronger than, for example, the signal from the “up/down” or “front/back” measurement.

Not reading all this shit but I hate it

>>11535441
I'll admit this is pretty impressive. It's like if you took all the Mindstorms components and shoved them into a 2x4 brick. I'm interested in seeing the full extent of its potential. If there's a reasonably priced set that includes one I'd definitely pick it up just to see what it's like, but of course the biggest worry is that they'll shove it into everything and tack on an extra 20-30 dollars or so to the price. But we'll just have to wait and see.

>>11535450
Sets will be more expensive because of it

I know most big Lego star wars channels are shills and they tend to overhype the smallest things relating to their clone trooper fetish, but every review I've seen for the MTT has been like "and finally after a decade of waiting Lego finally is givng the fans exactly what we have been BEGGING for for years now, it gives me great pleasure to show off the brand new Lego Commander Bly minifigure!"

Like who the fuck is Commander Bly? Was he in any of the Clone Wars episodes?

>>11535451
We have some info on x wing set, 580 pieces for $100, has smart brick

Themes rumoured to use smart bricks
>star wars
>city
>pokemon
>next original theme (said to use it heavy)

>>11535464
I am curious about the smart bricks. Let's hope they don't tank lego.

You are in charge of producing a new successful line for Lego in 2026. It cannot be Star Wars or any other licensed IP, it must be different from existing original themes such as Ninjago and you must try to avoid gimmicks that have proven to fail in the past. Keep in mind that it must be successful enough to appeal to both kid and adult audiences and get at least 3 waves of sets. What would you do anon?

>>11535465
Last pic, we also get a Vader tie advanced for $80 and 470 pieces with smart bricks

>>11535460
Death of the imagination. Kids can pretend, they don't need sounds coming out of their lego. Especially if it makes the set launch out of their parents budget completely. Adult fans certainly aren't buying into this.So who is this for? Very skeptical.

>>11535467
I would do a clip show episode.

Rerelease some of Lego's absolute best sets as part of like a gold series or something. Some stuff from Life on Mars, Pirates, Western, Backlot, some real variety. Adjustments to the designs only to make them more stable or replace colors that don't exist anymore.

>>11535467
King Arthur lore gets Monkie Kid treatment but sets are actually good and we get castles, we do get mechs but it would be better than nexo knights because
>use King Arthur lore
>vehicles will be mechas, mecha horses, flying mech dragons, ships, hoverboards, tower tanks, robo castles
>we would have normal playsets too like normal castles, ruins, bad guy places and town sets
>have the monkie kid team work on this theme
>good prices for sets

>>11535467
Relaunch Vidiyo but no gimmick, good set designs and better prices.

>>11535467
Reboot Knights Kingdom 2, it was already proto Ninjago. I would combine it with fantasy era 2007 and BAM! You got a kino theme, this theme lore with modern techniques would sell. Also, Vladek is a dope villain.

>>11535427
Ninjago has kino waifus

>>11535467
Kids are still into horror these days right? Maybe Lego should have some kind of horror themed set. But not the generic Dracula and Wolfman stuff. Lean into inspiration from modern kid friendly horror like Five Nights or Siren Head or SCP Foundation and what have you. Include little packets of lore on the monsters and I think kids would love it.

Put them in relatable situations like a small school set with a marketable mascot monster in it. And if you make the designs cool enough adults would probably be open to it as well.

This would have to be done extremely well though because this would be an idea that would be very easy to fuck up and appear opportunistic and soulless if you half-ass it.

the scalping situation is finna be insane with the pokemon sets ain't it?

>>11535467
I would unironically branch the Creator theme into two distinct subthemes. The first would be LEGO Creator: My Life, focusing exclusively on 3-in-1 sets featuring “things but LEGO”—such as animals, vehicles, and everyday objects—with no minifigures included.

The second subtheme would be called LEGO Creator: Worlds. This line would feature minifigure-heavy remakes of classic sets from older themes. It would include both standard sets and 3-in-1 sets. Within this line, there would be subthemes focusing on Historical, Action, and Adventure genres.

These sets would be released at a range of price points, but none would exceed $140. The primary price tiers would be $10, $20, $40, $60, and $80, with occasional sets at $30, $100, $120, and $140.

You know what? A Hyrule Castle façade set wouldn’t be a bad idea. Sets like Malfoy Manor are façades and still look great. Sure, it would be different from the usual 18+ or traditional castle sets, but it could look really cool on display and still have a detailed back. And hey, the Disney Castle and Beauty and the Beast castles are façades too, if you think about it. If it included minifigures of Link, Zelda, Ganon, and two Hyrule guards, it would definitely be worth it.

>>11535408
brilliant transparent swirl piece you put over any color to make a new giant lollipop

overall... not bad (?!)
but of course it could be less expensive, and it should have had at least 5 Oompa Loompas with a little place they bop up-n-down in alternating unison as if they are singing a song

why is Lego so stingy with the troop building? two of anything is not enough to imply a whole-bunch of it.

>>11535488
Thankfully the sets are expensive as fuck. Atleast the launch sets are.

Hidden Side had the right idea with buildings being hidden monsters, that concept could work with a full blown teen monster hunters theme or teen men in black type theme with kids finding aliens in daily life activities or both even!

>>11535462
>"and finally after a decade of waiting Lego finally is givng the fans exactly what we have been BEGGING for for years now, it gives me great pleasure to show off the brand new..."
it's infuriating that Hasbro leaves-alone [desperately wanted?] characters, and just as infuriating that Lego could do so much more.

Star Wars was founded on the idea of cool random background characters. we need MORE of that type of stuff!

it seems way easier for Lego to make minifigs than for Hasbro to mold entire giant figures. soooo.... DO IT Lego! humble those Hasbro fools by pumping out a gazillion Commander Bly-level characters!

back in the day we all knew who Snaggletooth was, and we've long passed the point where the majority of people know each specific background character, but that shouldn't stop Lego from including them. Just because you don't know who SK-620 is, there's a lot of people who would cheer to see him.

>>11535679
ALSO, the sad fact is: bly doesn't appear a lot because filoni swept aayla under the rug.
out of any classic popular jedi she had the least appearances in tcw with like two episodes early on. as you can imagine her commander had even LESS appearances as a result.
It sucks so bad. I love aayla but disney refuses to make her relevant or put her in anything. I think finally she makes an appearance in one of the current comics as a supporting character...but man you can still count her current canon appearances on one hand.

>What were the best lego theme villains ever made?
Baron von Barron. Nobody even comes close to this guy. He got rid of his boss Sam Sinister (aka Slyboots) and took his personality and clothing then came back as Lord Sam Sinister.

Plus he's based on Colonel Bockner from 80s remake of King Salomon Mines.

>>11535734
Eat them

I found this torso and legs loose at a local toy shop in their Lego section. $4 with generic head and hair.

I saw the body and instantly thought of The Bride from Kill Bill. Like I mean I know it doesn't have the black stripes down the arms, but the torso is practically perfext and it even has the same unzipped look and a button on the breat. As soon as I got it home, I gave it a Thor hairpiece and head from the Dino Hunter Woman CMF, plus a katana. Boom! Hella cool. Its not perfect, but pretty darn good I think.

>>11535804
awesome

I like doing custom show figures using existing pieces rather than bootlego prints

I wish Lego would sneak more prints into sets that are obvious matches (for example there was recently a purple frilly-shirt torso that would make an awesome Artist Formerly Known as Price Minifig)

I found this pic I had from a long time ago, it's characters from the show Supernatural. (some anon asked for it months ago but I forgot where the file was)

I wonder if it was because Felucia was too ambitious of a location for an animated tv show.

Would loved to have seen that though, based on some of the deeplore I've absorbed through osmosis, the war in Felucia sounded fucking crazy.

And on Aayla being screwed over by Filoni, motherfucker made her french wtf.

>>11535462
It's not that deep. Just the usual Lego SW fan retardation. People will shit and piss themselves over Clone Commander Gromblo who has a total screen time of 15 seconds and has a slightly different marking than regular troopers. It really is a fetish at this point and you can blame it for the prices the theme is getting.
Also, something something muh helmet holes. Lego Star Wars has become the minifigure theme that happens to have builds included.

I've been a fan of theme for years because I genuinely enjoy the franchise and the sets always had fun play features and gimmicks but that has officially been ruined by what are essentially funko pop collectors. Nowadays the only good SW sets on shelves are the Rebuild the Galaxy ones which these faggots don't even care about.

>>11535462
>>11535944
I would kill for a few new Old republic sets, Lego is really teasing us with those Malak and Revan Figures, they're some of the most popular characters outside the movies and the big TV shows, and Lego spends more on dumb shit like a cancelled disney world ride

>>11535067
too kino for modern lego

>>11535949
I'm convinced the director of RtG put Revan in it because he too hopes Lego will put him in a set. Same goes for all the other fun characters like Jedi Jabba, gunslinger Grievous and the rabbit one. Shame it's looking like they won't do it since the current RtG sets aren't selling well so they might axe the sub theme.

>>11535923
filoni takes glee in butchering characters not made by other people
remember what he did to barriss, a character who, before tcw, was one of anakin's closer jedi acquaintances and a healer, she died a hero after purifying a poisoned water supply just as order 66 kicked off
meanwhile filoni made her a hypocritical terrorist who fell to the dark side because reasons, and is still alive for some reason

>>11535974
*takes glee in butchering characters made by other people

>>11535956

I re-built the desert adventure sets next. I am getting a bit irked because of all the dark gray bricks I seem to be missing. Nothing much but like 2-3 bricks for every set.
