AManofNoConsequence

Final Fantasy There's 20 years worth of material to tap into, from beasts to vehicles to environments. From Final Fantasy 7 alone there's enough stuff to fill a couple of waves.

Doesn't a decrease in sets make sense? I mean, we won't be getting the additional wave for a film release the next few years, so I thought that was the logical conclusion.

This is utterly spectacular!

Honestly, I'm kinda underwhelmed. The rusted Mando speeder is the better choice for a build, but I do think things could have been better. Toss in a few jetpacks, dull down the colours maybe.

It's not like Marvel doesn't have 80s years worth of material to source from. I wish Disney or the Marvel higher ups were as loose with LEGO as they are with Hasbro. Everything here feels so limited while they just finished releasing Alpha Flight of all things.

Yeah... Only the figures are interesting for me, these builds... Yikes man, good for play, but not good to look at.

Not too fussed about the Microfighters, the Tatooine pack is nice enough, but I really have no need for it, and the Kylo one is a pass because I own the larger one. If I don't pick up the system Y Wing I'll pick up Zorii. The Battlepack is nice, if not having a bit of a weird ratio. I'll pick up a couple at least. The Duel on Mustafar looks... Fine I guess, the draw is basically the figures, but it looks a bit busy with the inclusion of the facility arm which for some reason falls upwards? I'd have prefered a focus on building up maybe the main lava lake as that's the stronger side of things, especially with what looks like a sliding platform feature. Had that solely been the focus and more built up, I'd say the set would look better. The two Tatooine sets are fine if you don't have them prior, so I may pick them up but they're not much a priority. I do like the Ben Kenobi hut most, especially with the training droid print and Leia holo. The Dagger looks good and the design was a good call. The figures are honestly good too, if not minimal, I'm glad to get another KoR and a different way to get Finn. Poe's new X Wing is good too, a worthy upgrade for the T70 thanks to the new techniques included. Once again another KoR is welcome, Jannah looks great with my only nitpick really being her bow, I didn't expect a new mold but I think maybe having it in a darker grey would have been better. I don't really have anything to say on Poe or R2.

I do hope we get J:FO sets like the Mantis, the game is pretty great and while there is only one new prominent vehicle, it'd be a nice oppurtunity to go back and get older ones they've missed, like the TIE Interceptor, TIE Reaper, Imperial Police Dropship, Zeta Class Shuttle and Rebels AT AT. You could also get some good location sets out of it.

It'd be nice to get the J:FO cast in the future some how, for the most part we have existing the pieces for the minifigures, aside from maybe Greez's head, the Second Sister's helmet, maybe Merrin's hairpiece and definitely BD-1. The Ninth Sister would be interesting to see, if they go with a big fig or make parts that make her look taller.

Honestly, aside from the Mantis there's not much new stuff. Maybe one of Saw's LAAT's, but I'm pretty sure they're just Republic ones with no differences. The only other prominent vehicles off the top of my head were the AT AT, AT ST, TIE Interceptor, Reaper and Fighter, and the Imperial Police Dropship. You could maybe try a civillian/Bracca Conveyex, I guess. You could also try mocking one of the Bounty Hunter Droids, but that's more of a larger figure.

I'm pretty sure merch from Bandai had R2 flying with Poe

I'm pretty sure there were some regular Henchmen in the Hank Pym trailer

We're probably gonna go back to 2 waves per year with the larger/exclusive sets spread out throughout the year for the next few years, outside of TV releases we'll be out of the big movie merch roll-outs of recent years, as well as Anniversaries such as 20 years of Lego Star Wars, well unless there's a sudden big push for the ESB anniversary, but that doesn't seem likely outside of some of the sets being sourced from ESB.

Now that the new trailer is out, I'm even more irked we got the Death Star turret instead of a Orbak set at the same price point.

The Iron Man looks pretty good, perfect addition for my Hall of Armour, plus the mech might be good for a more bigfig-scale Hulkbuster. Thor is a good start, the blank legs are dissapointing though, but I probably have some knight/warrior legs to fix that. Black Panther is fine, the only real addition I could think of is toe printing for claws and some texture on the legs, and even then I think that's a nitpick. Still unsure on Caps design overall, so the courts are out on that one. Anya Corazon is a nice suprise, the white torso threw me off at first though. Yeah, the AIM designs are just dull, that's on the game though, not Lego. Hawkeye is pretty good, once again only leg straps could make it better, maybe the arms from Ethan Hunt to give him his T Shirt look he currently has.
