Very nice! I was hoping a monster like this would show up.

YES! One of my favorite classical 'monsters' is finally here! Props for going with the classic design over the Andrew Lloyd Webber version.

That's cool! I just wondered, since the outline was lighter than the other gray pieces in the pic. Anyway, coming back after a few days, these are stunning! I love the mansion keeper's silhouette locket, it's a really charming detail. The spooky clown looks like it would be good for some mocs I'm planning. One question about the mutant woman (don't get me wrong, she's an incredible counterpart to one of my favorites of your past series)-why didn't you just use the preexisting Rio Durant 4 arms piece?

That's cool! I just wondered, since the outline was lighter than the other gray pieces in the pic.

Each day keeps getting better; I would Love to have this one in my figure collection! Is the skeleton horse meant to be translucent?

he's finally here!! I love the printing on the rats, and I feel like that's a really useful 'hair' piece to have.

An excellent start! I love the inclusion of the plans. The cowl is a really good reinvention of the classic peasant hood piece, too!

this man is speaking my LANGUAGE Spooky minifigs have always been my favorites (i will defend series 14 until my dying breath), and the more esoteric the better, so no rehashes means some awesome designs! I can't WAIT to see all of these! you could say i'm...DYING to see them! *organ riff*

Apparently Instagram has information about a 20$ "Toad's special Hideaway" set, presumably a comic con exclusive. Thoughts? Personally I hope to get my hands on it; Toad is probably my favorite of the mario figures, and I'm happy to take an opportunity to snag him in a cheaper set.

I definitely feel like Mario is a part of the automation; if you look closely at the blurb about the starter kit integration, it seems to say that the block mario interacts with "[on]-screen obstacles, powerups, and enemies" meaning that--unless im misunderstanding--that blocks to make 8-bit mario jump, stomp, etc in tune with the passing background are integrated into the build, possibly with corresponding code stickers.

This looks like a bunch of fun! Most of the adult sets so far (with the exception of the Haunted House) are a bit too pretentious and artsy for my taste, but the 'playing' function looks fun to build and to mess around with. Do we know anything about price or release date?

Apologies if this is out of turn, but I figured there should be a thread to discuss the (as of this writing) upcoming Monkie Kid TV Show. Thoughts so far? Personally, I love the new style; the CGI used for everything since Ninjago is getting kind of old.

Problem for me is the prices only start getting good above my budget. I'd love to support this theme, the character and build designs are A+, but I'm not in a great position to do so.

Personally, my best guess for the retro ghost was the new Ninjago wave, as a sort of call-back to how the first ghost minifigs were included in castle sets. That said I ain't complaining about this.

Ah, this takes me back. In the old days I had the monster fighters Haunted House set up in my room for around a year, at least. To this day its the biggest set I've ever bought. Definitely going to start saving for this one!

Oogh, the castle is bringing back some good monster fighters nostalgia. That ghost cloud legs piece looks awesome as well. Definitely gonna pick this one up sometime.

It saddens me that some of the most unique lego weapons we've had so far are all Minecraft. Still, the Dungeons set looks awesome! Crafting Box 3 is a huge misstep, though. The appeal of the crafting boxes is exclusive content like Mooshrooms; this could've been their opportunity to put something new in the set like a Hoglin or Shulker.

I could easily see the new headphones piece recolored/printed as goggles for characters like JB.

I see. Sorry, it was my first time seeing the fig.

An...odd new big-fig claimed to be from monkey Kid leaked on Instagram; I'm thinking it's the theme's take on Sha Wujing. Thoughts?

Man, these are all really great. Good to see a Mothman figure finally; I also called the Red Oni, but I was less certain about that one. The Sea Nymph is amazing, but I think my favorite is the Halfling. A whole bunch of useful molds and prints and a really well-done realization/reinvention of a classic fantasy archetype. Good luck with what comes next, man! You're gonna rock it.

Yup, called it. Eager to see the rest of the series!

I think I have a good idea of who the black winged figure in the back of the group pic might be! ;)

Hmm...I can't foresee this being great for sales.

I figured that as well.
