It almost seemed like it was like a generic replacement for the character after licensing negotiations hypothetically fell through for the character's appearance. That was the Kraken from Clash of the Titans (1981): https://www.google.ch/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&ved=0ahUKEwiUuKnWgdnUAhVHnBoKHa90A5YQjRwIBw&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.theaterbyte.com%2Fbluray-uhd-reviews%2Fclash-of-the-titans-1981-blu-ray-review.html&psig=AFQjCNEikiZsWsgwVq-qxezkmA_9bs084Q&ust=1498480665836730 Back to topic: Maybe this D2C set is the one that Marcos Bessa has mentioned in a recent interview?

OK, thanks! Didn't know that since most people and references including Wikipedia credit the character as Godzilla. By the way, which Marcos Bessa interview are you speaking of? Quote
BrickBob Studpants Posted June 25, 2017 Posted June 25, 2017 This one: It's somewhere near the end of the video Marcos states that he won't have that much time to design huge D2C sets any more due to the responsibilities that come with his new position within TLG, but that a new D2C designed by him still comes out in December (which is a weird date by the way, usually it's the first of January) Quote

In a press release for TLNM sets, Lego stated that Garmadon's walking shark mech (presumably) would be released as a set for December this year, effectively placing the winter 2018 wave a month ahead for release for Christmas. Many are speculating the same is being done for the third TLBM wave. Quote
Duncan Young Posted June 25, 2017 Posted June 25, 2017 (edited) I would be certainly glad if Lego were to release their winter wave in December. It's a lot more convenient for Christmas shopping and considering my birthday is in October it's a shorter time to preserve my funds Edited June 25, 2017 by Duncan Young Quote

TheRealDickDastardly Posted June 25, 2017 Posted June 25, 2017 Oh my goodness, an Iceberg Lounge set would melt my nerd heart. It could be based on the the Arkham games/Assault on Arkham representation with the central podium for Penguin and a pit for Solomon Grundy. I love that idea so much, shame it'll never happen. :/ Quote

Not officially by Lego. Based on Just2Good's info about this Ninjago Movie set, it sounds like Lego is officially releasing these sets on December 1st. Quote

Themadpatter Posted June 26, 2017 Posted June 26, 2017 I really hope the D2C is a building set not a vehicle set. I love huge huge buildings and they're so good for displaying Quote

They did this once intentionally with the last wave of the Hobbit. I have a US catalog from that year with "Available December 1st" on all the sets in the wave Quote
SoupOrFishOil Posted June 27, 2017 Posted June 27, 2017 Even last year four TLBM sets were released for Christmas. Quote

Three days before December isn't in time for Christmas at all. My point was that it still happened, and it wasn't even a tie-in to a movie release like The Hobbit. And still, it was more sets than are supposed to be released for TLBM now. I guess if it happens with TLNM and any other themes that's more sets than normal. Edit: Actually, speaking of Ninjago, I think the Rebooted wave was released in December too. Edited June 28, 2017 by Super Fish Oil Quote

Sorry, I was just pointing out that it was even weirder since it wasn't at the start of December like these sets. Maybe they just decided to make their own movie sets release earlier for Christmas? It makes more sense if that's the case, I think. On Brickset their database says that the Rebooted sets released on December 13th, and I remember buying a couple for Christmas too.

Nuns In Crocs Posted June 29, 2017 Posted June 29, 2017 do you think there will any reveal of the winter sets at comic con? both for the normal dc line and lego batman movie? Quote

Yeah, I'm expecting reveals for at least one set for TLBM, maybe a regular set and perhaps all three Mighty Micros of DC like last year, if that will continue as a trend. Quote

Anonknee Muss Posted July 2, 2017 Posted July 2, 2017 SDCC is coming fast, any bets on what the other two MM's are? Point given to every correct answer. Quote
