Do we know anything about the May 4th GWP yet?

I don't see how having multiple inferior variants of what's meant to be the exact same character design is more "interesting". I get the desire for new figures but eventually you get to a point of if it ain't broke, don't fix it, and don't intentionally break it either. If you're downgrading a design that's already fine as is just for the sake of making exclusives, you're cheating customers out of being able to get a better version of a figure just because they're not interested in a single set or unwilling to pay often excessive prices online for the figure loose. The fans aren't going to be happy with that, Vader's short-lived arm printing comes to mind. I can't imagine it's all that cheap to constantly be switching up printing just for the sake of it either.

I don't think it would be an issue since a lot of new molds were introduced in the Looney Tunes CMF.

At this point I wouldn't be surprised if they're intentionally not using different pieces for the Darksaber because the current lightsaber build is too "iconic", since that's the reason they gave for not using the longer hilt piece from Monkie Kid for the double-bladed ones.

I wouldn't worry about Disney just yet, we are still getting CMFs based on Disney properties (Marvel last year, Muppets this year) so they probably just don't want to overload a single year with Disney-based CMFs. I could see us getting Disney Series 3 next year, unless Marvel Series 2 or a Star Wars CMF happens.

I hope so, Zurg could really benefit from dual molded and printed arms and something similar to the newer minifig skirt piece. Depending on how close the design is to the Toy Story films hopefully they could at least be mixed together.

It is - the comment was saying that Klarion wasn't in B:TAS but did appear in other DCAU media.

Haven't seen it mentioned yet but some Toy Story BrickHeadz were leaked - 40552 Buzz and 40553 Woody & Bo Peep. Brickset has images of them.

You mean Lightyear, right? I think it's been said they're normal sets, but don't quote me on that.

I mean yeah, Phase 2 would've been nice, I hope we still get them eventually since Rex's current Phase 2 minifig is pretty bad and Cody's is nonexistent, but realistically that wasn't going to happen since we'd need at least one new helmet mold for that which doesn't happen in accessory packs as far as I'm aware. Is there that much disconnect between fans who want strictly PT vs. TCW sets, though? Personally I'm glad that accessory packs aren't being used as army builders since we already have battle packs anyway (I'm with you on the price increase, though) and it gives us an opportunity to get characters who are less likely to appear in sets. Starting off with P1 Cody and Rex in one of the first accessory packs shows that there's a lot of opportunities here. Who knows, maybe this will finally end up being the answer to all the fans clamoring for an Aunt Beru minifig. There's reasons to be disappointed and I'm not going to say anyone shouldn't be, but some people are acting like this is the end of the world when it really isn't. Now if we were getting an accessory pack with Luke, Obi-Wan, and 3PO instead, that might be a different story...

Things really caught on fire here didn't they... I'm happy to get P1 Rex and Cody, it's been 10 years since we got both of them and those were heavily stylized versions that are very outdated now. Honestly I did want them (like actually wanted them, not the "oh they're bringing them back that's cool" way) but I never expected Lego to go back and remake them. Between this and Anakin's Starfighter from 2018 it's nice to see that Lego is still willing to make things from the earlier seasons of TCW from time to time. If we keep getting accessory packs I think this bodes pretty well for them. Funny that we're getting minifigs of two popular Clone Wars characters in a cheap set with variants that haven't been made in a decade and people are still complaining that Lego is clueless and hates the fans. You really can't please Lego Star Wars fans, can you?

It's the hallway scene from The Mandalorian with Luke.

And the Batmobile took so long to leak that a lot of people here started worrying that it was cancelled. There's not much consistency with leaks.

Unfortunately they've already gone on record as saying they didn't even consider doing this because the current hilt piece is "too synonymous" with lightsabers, so it probably won't happen in future sets either. It wouldn't be such a big deal if the piece was available in the right color in a different set... I guess we'll just have to keep waiting.

I remember this happening with the UCS Batmobile a few years back where people started panicking that it wasn't leaked/revealed months ahead of time (eventually it was, obviously). Leaks are weird and inconsistent, so in my opinion it's best to wait until after the set is supposed to be released with no news to start getting worried about a cancellation.
