I didn't get the joke, actually. For some reason, I thought it was an actual shield, and I was a bit confused. Thanks for the explanation!

Additional details on the Spider-Man 2 Train set: it will be $49.99 with 393 pieces, releasing in August. If the minifigures are straight repeats from No Way Home, I will be very underwhelmed. If they're updated, and the scene looks good - yippie! I'm also glad that they're going iconic scenes without feeling the need to make a multi-hundred dollar set out of it (cough Zelda cough Star Trek cough cough). I wonder if Aunt May or Mary Jane could sneak in as opposed to generic New Yorkers? Bring me Green Goblin next, please! That... Is quite the misunderstanding. So odd that Lego is so allergic to Quicksilver - surely they know he'd be a set seller all by himself, right?

That trailer is probably the most excited I've felt for a Marvel entry for awhile. The Netflix show was a bit more violent than my regular tastes, but I really liked the characters and story. I'm very interested to see how it will turn out (though I think the chances for any Lego tie-ins are extremely slim). We got the character back in 2016! Not quite the same design as the trailer, but pretty similar.

Based on what you posted, here's what was said before the Once Piece parts leaked: If we then break it down, claim by claim: The characters of Luffy, Shanks, Buggy, and Zoro. We have seen two parts for Luffy, nothing from Shanks, one part from Buggy, and nothing from Zoro (unless the beanies would go to them, which I'm not sure about). Even then, they all seem to be popular characters, so it's not too hard to guess they could be included. There were quite a few molds Also something easily guessed. Some parts made of soft plastic Assuming that is referring to the arms, this is probably the best evidence going for it, but it's also not an outlandish guess either. The colors were accurate Was there a doubt that the colors would be inaccurate? Basically a nothing statement. The legs had dual printing No legs have leaked yet, so there's no way to confirm that yet. Though that also wouldn't be an outlandish guess. The hats were well-made. Most of what we have seen are the hats, but, again, is there doubt that that could just be a lucky guess. If we're getting new licensed characters, getting new molds for their iconic hairpieces isn't too outlandish. In other words, most of it is guesswork that, largely, could have been easily predicted. I can maybe lend some credit to the guess of the arms, but, again, that could just be a lucky guess. There's not enough therefor me to fully believe that this person 100% has insider information, or has knowledge that Goku/Dragon Ball is coming. There is a chance, but I'm not seeing enough to really believe it (and even if Dragon Ball does come, the fist "scoop" is enough of a vague guess that a broken clock could be right twice, so I'll still remain skeptical).

Interesting idea, but I think the chances for that are nearly zero. Not only to The Beast's horns not stick out that far or at that angle, but his head is not that big, nor would printing on the lower half of that mold for clothing look good. Honestly, the Friends mold is honestly pretty good for a minifigure (outside of the "cute" eyes).

I have no connection to the original Gameboy - only the Advance, and even then I only played a few basic games on there. I wonder if the mention of it "featuring" a Gameboy means anything? Will it include game cartridges, like the NES? A stand for display? Or am I reading into it too much?

I don't think anything can top the fever dream of Darth Jar-Jar, Jedi Bob, and a Rex microfighter. Though the sets being mentioned do sound promising!

Plus, it would get more use out of the Twilek head mold, since Hera brought it back. Personally, though, I'd want Shaak Ti to find a spot at some point. She's only ever been in one set, and unlike most of the Jedi masters, she only has the bug-eyed Clone Wars head to represent her.

I used to go on there occasionally for interviews and reviews, but I've tried to stay away for years. There are way better options out there that don't shove a popup window at you every time you click on a new article.

It's still up for me in the US.

Looks like there will be a GWP:

And The Legend of Zelda Ocarina.. for 57 cents?! I just placed an order with some, we'll see if it gets cancelled...

The Book Nook idea was first voiced by be - I just thought it was odd that the leak came from nowhere and didn't seem to have any other sets tied to it. Ergo, it could have been some kind of a one-off retailor exclusive, which is why my mind went there. If we're getting more Sony Spider-Man sets, though, my idea could very well be wrong!

There's several other apps that are completely free. I use Minifig Scan, but there are others that also work. Brick Fanatics is just greedy, frankly.

That would be a great way to get characters - but another part of a CMF is to get new molds and prints. Most Starfleet characters would be very similar in terns of uniforms, and outside of some head molds, phasers, and maybe some Borg arms, there's not a lot of characters that would deserve a 100% new mold.
