The new Indiana Jones hat with grey hair to make mocs of Kingdom and Dial of Destiny.

To be fair, Unikitty had the Sonic vibes first

They are "correcting" it. The reference to 77014 will be removed (it already has been removed in the 77015) :(

I assumed the leakers were right and the set was gone, but the statement and the descriptions gave me hope. I think that if the set was completely cancelled they wouldn't have released the statement. That, or just them being incompetent lol

I'm LAN people and that didn't happen. They just gave us the official statement that everyone has shared.

Why is everyone assuming that the ToD set is cancelled? The official statement just says that they decided to "optimize the launch" to focus on the three sets we know. They don't imply that there won't be more sets. Add to that the fact that the 77014 appears in the official description, and they didn't bother to remove that after releasing the statement.

The pictures were photos of a screen showing the boxes and the Temple Escape diorama. They weren't photos taken directly of the boxes or the Temple Escape set. My theory is that LEGO showed a video about the Indiana Jones theme in the Toy fair and someone took photos of the screen.

I think it's the moustache, it look's dark grey. He looks like Sean Connery in The Rock.

But not D2C sets like these are usually revealed on the first the month, no? They even revealed the new Speed Champions on January 1st at midnight. Avatar sets were revealed on July 20th but that was months before release.

Pure speculation, but if the sets don't show up today (in the next 2 hours or so), then there must be something wrong with this theme. The Super Star Destroyer being revealed a few hours ago really made me worry about the Indy theme.

Actually, no. Only Hasbro and Funko as toy companies: https://www.sknr.net/2023/01/16/confirmed-licensee-categories-for-indiana-jones-and-the-dial-of-destiny/ About the pompous announcements, Avatar also had one. A couple of months before release (July 20th). This is why all the Indy stuff feels so weird. Avatar and Indy are very similar themes to some extend (Disney franchises, first wave of four sets and a second wave for teh new movie, etc), so I can't see why Indy is being announced so late and so close to the release date (impliying it will be released and everything leaked is real ).

THIS I tried to know what's happening with the Temple of Doom set through the Lego Ambassador Network and it's impossible, at least until the day they reveal the sets. And I'm not expecting that we will hear anything about that set after the reveal because, usually, if it hasn't been officially announced, it doesn't exist.

100% sure it is 8 studs wide.

Is that the source of all of this? That the set isn't in the retail listings?

So just like the Osprey or the TNT City set. This is not the first time something like this happens (if it has been cancelled and the guidelines are the reason). I can't understand why they cancel sets so late (literally week before release).
