I thought a couple of the Ewoks required new molds?

Looking at the Sirius sticker from the Hogwarts Express set, I wouldn't be surprised if he used the same hairpiece as Mad-Eye Moody, just in black.

I think it's pretty great that this wave also already gave us two of the horcruxes and two of the deathly hallows. I was hoping we would eventually get all of the horcruxes and all three of the deathly hallows, but since most don't show up until the later movies, and we still don't have official confirmation as to another wave I was worried we might never, so it is a pleasant surprise. Like other's have said, it would have been great if the elder wand was a different mold, but at least it is the proper color, and maybe later on we will get a new mold for it.

Finally got my card after ordering in December. While it certainly looks nice, like most of the other members here, I'm hoping we get some good deals. I was hoping for something for May the Fourth, but the promos were just announced and they didn't say anything about black VIP card holders, unfortunately. I think it's strange that we are almost halfway through the year, and all we've gotten was double VIP points for one month.

Someone I follow on Flickr had commented about reading something on the hothbricks forum, but again that's not reliable. I just brought it up as it was the only information I had heard about the bonus rewards, even if it was just a random rumor.

Good to know, hopefully they won't get delayed again. Anyone have any idea what the other rewards will be? I figure one is the raffle of the rest of the platinum R2-D2 figures based on the initial email that was sent out, but I had read rumors they were releasing another interior section for the Falcon that you can put in the empty space that exists now.

Is anyone still waiting for their cards? I had bought my falcon in the beginning of December and they told me my card would come in before the end of February but I haven't gotten anything yet and I know that I qualify for the rewards since I've been eligible for the double VIP points.

I think the set description says that the two of them connect together.

I called Lego customer service about the black card as I was able to get the set last week at my local store. They said anyone who purchased before November 23rd should be getting their cards any day now, anyone who purchased after that will get their cards by the end of February.

I thought we already heard that the D2C is the $100 set, which would mean that's what the Sanctorum is. I would love to be wrong on this though as I would love for a well done, large Avengers facility.

So at this point for those of us who missed out on during the falcons release online is the only way to get a black VIP card to buy the set in stores?

If the D2C is only $100 or 100 euros I'll be slightly disappointed just because at that price we won't be able to get something to large and by the time it releases it will have been three years since a new Marvel D2C. It will probably similar in size to the Bridge Battle set which just had a bit over 1000 pieces, which while a great set certainly didn't feel like a D2C set. Compare it to the Helicarrier which had almost 3,000 pieces and there's a very big difference in terms of size and set quality. I was really hoping we'd get a properly down Avengers Facility base after all this time, but if the set wont be much bigger then 1,000 pieces to me I'd rather them pick one of the ships in the upcoming movie as I feel like they could do that justice.

I haven't ordered mine yet, I was planning on getting it during the double VIP points but thats looking less and less likely, but a bunch of people on the press thread had said they got in touch with Lego either through phone or email I think and those dates were the response they got.

Not that I could find. But a couple of people who ordered and who's orders say backordered have been saying their order is being shipped on October 11, first week of December and the first week of November, so it seems like it's anyones guess as to when it will be back in stock. Maybe Lego will surprise everyone and have them back on October 1st but its definitely looking doubtful.

So i was able to find some more info. Apparently if you buy the falcon between now and December 31st you get the black VIP card. Also I read that they had sold 6500 units in just North America in the 1st hour which is why the site crashed and why they are out of stock. But who knows at this point.

Does anyone think that they ran out of the special VIP cards given out with the falcon? I know they said the first 20,000 buyers got it I'm just not sure roughly how many were sold.

In the background of the designer video there's a UCS version of Darth Vader's Advanced TIE Fighter. Obviously there was one released years ago, but considering every other Star Wars set in the back was from the past 2-3 years or so could that mean that's the next UCS set for May 4th with the speculated Imperial Star Destroyer this time next year?

Wait but didn't amazingbricks tell us all the final would actually be silver and not blue?

Not sure if anyone saw this but looks like we are getting a UCS Snowspeeder for May 4th instead of a UCS Millennium Falcon. Kinda surprising considering that the falcon is going to be much more expensive and a bigger deal the the Snowspeeder especially since its not like they are waiting to release on the same month as A New Hope came out for the 40th anniversary since it came out in May. If get the falcon maybe we will get it in October like the Death Star this year. http://www.thebrickfan.com/lego-star-wars-ucs-snowspeeder-75144-rumored-for-may-the-4th/

Dang I was really hoping there would be one. Guess it makes sense as to why we got both the Batcave and Arkham already as the only thing they could really do for a D2C would be Wayne Manor and considering how big it is they probably wouldn't be to do it accurately.

Does anyone know when we first heard about Metalbeard’s Sea Cow? I’m just wondering because I know that came out in February we haven't heard anything about a LBM D2C and I think it would be real weird if we didn’t end up getting anything considering what a big deal it is for Lego.

Wait wasn't the range of prices of the sets from that press release $13-$120? If the bridge is only $100 than what is the $120 set? Could it be the fourth civil war set since that's the only set that we know about and don't have a price for?

He was included with the Justice League: Attack of the Legion of Doom DVD. I'm pretty sure it came out last month, may have been longer.

I think that's why he said we have 2 figures based off of roles Benedict Cumberbatch has been in.

Do you know something?? Could it actually include Doomsday :cry_happy:
