I think these are some very unrealistic expectations. Also…you understand that they’re not going to make scientifically accurate dinos for Jurassic franchise sets, right? They’re going to make dinos with Jurassic franchise designs

I’m really not trying to sound like a jerk, I know I’ve been coming off pretty harsh lol. I do think it’s wild to think the green roofs look better than the grey. It makes no sense. Grey is accurate, it’s not even debatable. Green is not. And it really is just ugly to me. If some people like green better because of the nostalgia, whatever. Personally, I’m really happy to see the green roofs go away

Totally different. You were saying how much of a travesty it is that everything wasn’t at exact minifig scale lol which is clearly unrealistic I can’t even fathom this take. The green roofs are some of the ugliest things I’ve ever seen in lego form

It’s not even an opinion thing, Hogwarts doesn’t have green roofs, inaccurate is inaccurate

Now that we’ve thankfully moved away from the ugly green roofs, I’m actually really excited to see more of the Hogwarts sets in the new style

With the Grey roofs returning, I’m very excited to see the new Great Hall set. For that price, I’m sure it’s more than just the Hall. Ship and Carriage sounds very promising too! Hopefully we’ll hear some minifig lineups for these soon

Pretty stoked about the Marvel sets (except Groot obviously). Really hoping to get a solid Age of Ultron lineup in the $110 set. And I hope they do Surtur justice but the price kind of worries me

I’m very glad I already have Malgus and Revan, they will probably be even more expensive now

YES that face print is perfect

Yeah I’m in the same boat. I usually don’t like non-canon figures but Old Republic Sith and Jedi characters are an exception to that for me. I have the Revan poly bag and Malak is a really nice figure as well. And Fives looks great too. I’m really excited to see Cal. Leia I could take or leave but since we probably won’t get anymore Kenobi sets I’ll take it

I think the printed kamas actually look really good from the front. It’s just less than ideal from literally any other angle lol which is the frustrating thing about it to me. I have had issues with some of the cloth ones in the pst though. Discoloration and fraying and things like that. So I’m torn on what I would prefer

I think the figs still looks great. Not perfect, but still fantastic. Nothing remotely close to “absolutely awful” even enters my mind when looking at them

I did the same with Porkins but I don’t have the old Biggs Yes! They did a great job with the snowspeeder pilots in 2014-2017 but they just stopped and started giving them the X-wing pilot torsos and legs. At least we got the proper ones in Assault on Hoth and the UCS Snowspeeder and other sets around that time so we got a fair few of the correct ones before they stopped

Good point, I do hope he has a unique face print. Also, hopefully it’s not too long before we am ARC Trooper version of Echo! But since he never made it to the Ohase 2 ARC Trooper armor, it would require a new helmet mold with the fin I know we’re in the minority but I actually agree with you. And since they discarded them, we need another Biggs with a regular helmet for consistency

And to be clear, I don’t think the current clones are perfect. Cloth kamas would be better, more than one helmet mold would be better, holes for ones that use attachments, no holes for ones that don’t. And I would personally prefer fully live action versions instead of the hybrid. BUT I feel zero need to complain about it because they’re still great figures, in my opinion better than any other clones we’ve ever gotten, and I’m so grateful that we’re even getting all of these clone variations that the nitpicks just don’t bother me much. It’s just not worth the negativity

I definitely agree about the passion of collecting and army building just not being what it used to be. Now it’s all about buying every army builder set to make a post and get likes and followers. It’s tiring. I enjoy buying multiple battle packs and building small armies from them but the scale that some are doing it on is just over the top for no reason. It’s like a contest to see which “influencer” can hoard the most absurd amount of battle packs so that I can never find one for my kids. And those same people will also do nothing but complain about the set. There’s no real passion for the product

Because that’s just an opinion? Some of us don’t mind the printed waist capes and helmet holes as much as others. The clone treatment right now is better than it has ever been, no question. Look how much we’ve gotten, including named clones that we never thought we would see again or for the first time. They’re not going to please everyone. But there’s a vial group of crybabies led by king crybaby MandR that just HAVE to whine about something, no matter how good us fans are eating with this theme right now. Nothing is ever enough, and it’s exhausting to constantly see the crappy attitude that brings the fandom down. He exists to throw tantrums at this point, and his sheep followers do the same.

That’s exactly what it is. They’re just anniversary bonus figures

The fact that people are crapping on the Fives figure but praising Jedi Bob’s Starfighter and Venomized Millennium Falcon being a thing truly baffles me

I actually think Fives looks pretty good. The printing on the top of the helmet is the only thing that’s iffy, but I understand that printing can only go so far on pieces like that. It’s also just funny to watch MandR cry about the dumbest things.

I feel like the sail barge should be more of an MBS type set than actual UCS. Idk one way or another but seems like it should be something that is minifig centric. It’s not that exciting of a vehicle without the scene to recreate

I just despise the festive figures. Utterly useless

Really? You’d rather have a completely useless version? Ok

Yeah it’s definitely disappointing that they’re doing all this dumb gimmicky stuff when it’s an actual anniversary and TPM has so much that has never been done

Wait so now the Death Star set is $80? I’m just confused now
