Welcome back Stash, destroyer of trolls and wish-listers!

I see, thanks. Hopefully Hela's headpiece is made of a similar material.

I don't own a Loki yet. Is his headpiece rubber?

Where is that new image from? It looks official!

Interesting to see that they're all Juniors sets. Also, Mater has a smartphone now?!

Hela and Loki look great! I still prefer Loki's old costume, but that's an issue of the source material and not the Lego version. The new Loki minifig looks pretty accurate:

Thor looks incredible! This is the first time we're getting something like his dual capes and I love it. Hopefully the rest of the Ragnarok minifigs live up to this standard...

She didn't change her costume much from BvS, did she? I guess this means she'll be having the same WW minifig for the JL sets.

Oops, I realized that I opened a can of worms... Let's not venture into speculation territory here. I don't believe we know anything about the JSF other than the fact that we're getting one. Can anyone remember when we got leaked pictures of last summer's exclusives? We don't get prelims for those so our first pics are usually official ones.

I never considered the fact that we normally get 2 exclusives in the summer. Nice to know that we have a surprise set to expect.

Great memory you have there. Thanks! I guess that's when we can expect the Ragnarok pics, then. Hopefully the minifig leaks means that we'll see pics earlier...

I think that for UCS sets, they're a viable option. Maybe Lego could include both a sticker sheet and a sheet of dry transfers, for us to choose between them. I know from personal experience that dry transfers are difficult to apply (water slides even more so) and easier to screw up than stickers, so there are people out there who would definitely prefer stickers. But having the option would be nice!

Thanks! Hopefully we'll get official images soon. Does anyone remember when we got pics for the Doctor Strange sets last year?

Do we know when the Ragnarok sets are being released?

June 1st is the official release date, but some leakers/YouTubers may get them before that.

Interesting; thanks for the update. Unfortunately we know absolutely nothing on TLJ at the moment... It'd be nice to speculate what those characters are after the first trailer drops! I think characters like Rey and Luke are pretty much guaranteed, but I'm not sure about Kylo Ren... It seems unlikely that he'd get a change of costume so quickly, but you never know.

The lack of leg printing on most of the figures is disappointing, especially with Loki and Hela... But that's to be expected of Lego these days, unfortunately.

I don't think we can get official confirmation until we see the actual boxart. But this looks pretty legit to me! The fact that it's pictured next to the new Hulk adds to its credibility (it adds to the fact that the photo-taker managed to acquire unreleased figures). EDIT: Forgot to add that the new Thor looks incredible. Leaps and bounds ahead of all previously released Thor minifigs. I was hoping that it'd come with the dual jade blades seen in the concept art / Empire pictures, but the new sword looks pretty good too!

I don't understand the uproar over the blue shoulderpad... Wait till the movie comes out and if the shoulderpad turns out to be bright blue in the film, all this criticism will go away...

Where/When was this mentioned?

Renowned source is confused because he really knows nothing about one particular set, and the whole community flips. I believe Toy Fair was pretty clear as to what minifigs we'll be getting, as has been stated multiple times. Move along...

Actually, they fit in with regular SW figs perfectly. I don't see the difference. It's not like TCW where they had those horribly ugly eyes and faces.

Yeah, I really want to see the TIE Defender. It'd put the new Nexo Knights mechs' shield pieces to good use, like the upcoming Tracker I from Freemakers. Any idea what's up with the dearth of Rebels sets? We're only getting the Phantom for the entire year. I'd think that Lego would want to capitalize on the Rebels TV show by giving us more Rebels sets, like they did with The Clone Wars.

That's a very nice lineup you have. The Rakhshi were my first Bionicle sets, so they have a special place in my heart. I'd buy these in a heartbeat!

I wish the UCS were like this - functional, yet with an interior! Great job!
