I dunno man they all look like shitty brickheads with a printed faceplate to me.
>>11804881what the fuck is that pokeball helicopter
>>11804884I like Mewtwo, much better than Mega did it
This is the kind of shit you find on Alibaba with descriptions along the line of " CREATIVE KIDS BATTLE CREATURE INTELLIGENT BUILDING SYSTEM CHOGOKIN" and bricks with HOLI on the studs.
>>11804887Lapras is also great
>>11804888>>11804887>>11804883>>11804881>>11804880>>11804878fucking awful, wish you were sent back to hell

>>11804888two of the most popular pokemon of all time and they do this shit with them
>>11804898Agreed, can't wait to see Rayquaza and Munchlax to feel better
>>11804901Last pic, I will admit, the Pokemon smart play sets are mich better designed than Star Wars. I guess Scorbunny and Croagunk are 2027 sets
>>11804904It’s all fucking awful dogshit, somebody throw a molotov at this wretched courthouse of failure and get the designers executed
Can't wait for the price-reveals.
Lego uploaded by mistake prelimanry Shrek 5 sets, they got delayed to 2027 because of the film's delay.>>11804909It's gonna be PAIN. I bet this set >>11804888>>11804904is $100
>>11804910
>>11804889>>11804904These two look fine. Fun playsets and the builds are decent. The rest are irredeemable garbage though. Designers should be ashamed.

>>11804910>one shot at Lego Shrek>it's the shitty Shrek 5 redesigns Fuck this company.
>>11804916Firebomb them

>>11804916We are getting a shrek cmf based on the original trilogy versions in september (it was planned to tie in with the movie 5 but the film got delayed) so now it's more of an anniversary cmf. I also expect that cmf Shrek to not have a Hagrid type body like 5 version and we get a Gingy minifig too. I wonder if they will add more sets to 2027 lineup since these were 2026 before the delay, like the dragon for example. There's a Donkey movie supposed to come in 2028 and Shrek 6 and 7 in development too. So I expect the theme to have a long run.
>>11804914>my tummy hurts
>>11804914Vore.
When are we getting pokemon minifigs?
>>11804914>simulate an exciting pokemon battle by rubbing their crotches together! (no homo)
>>11804904>Pokemon smart play sets are mich better designed than Star WarsYeah I tearing off their faces to insert the smart brick and the light up crotches are great.>>11804914>>11804930what the absolute fuck were they smoking when they came up with and approved these sets?
>>11804880>>11804881>Pokemon BUT VEHICLEI hate Lego so much.Could these idiots really not think of a second figure to make? Polywag? Oddish? Goldeen? Those are all small.
>>11804914>Ghastly uses Irritable Bowel Syndrome Beam
These pokemon sets are fucking terrible, you have to buy the most expensive set to actually get 2 smart bricks to battle? They should have gone the mario route, a cheap starter set sold at a loss with 2 basic pokemon, 2 smart bricks and tags, and a charger. Then the other sets could just be more popular pokemon and tags to expand your collection.
>>11804937The Pikachu treehouse also has a smart brick, the Mario sets were much better
remember when people were concerned about pokemon sets being "scalped?"well, every time I've been to a wal mart / target they are fully stocked on pokemon sets, no one is buying them. Even my costco has an entire pallet of evee that no one is buying. These sets look like shit, let's be honest. I hope it's a massive flop for Lego.
>>11804940>The Pikachu treehouse also has a smart brickIt does but only one, meaning you have get another smart brick to actually battle. I get that these are playsets, but locking one of the main parts of pokemon behind getting the most expensive set (or already having smart bricks from the Star Wars line) is super shit.
>>11804944They need to rethink their approach with Pokemon and fast, I don't wanna wait another 7 years until they course correct like they did with Mario, we are getting Mario minifigs after 7 years of course building system ffs...Imo, pokemon is one of the most valuable IPs in the world and it feels like Lego is mistreating it, this theme could've been bigger than star wars (during their peak since sw is pretty dead now)
>>11804887Ok im not gonna lie this looks fucking epic.
All these look like shit.Lego needs to go near bankruptcy again so they actually make an effort with the shit they produce.>>11804919Kek.
>>11804893I have to give them Bidoof, it's janky but cute.
>>11804951>>11804914
>>11804954Yeah it's great. I will buy Mewtwo Charizard and Gengar.
>this whole thread
>>11804933>I hate Lego so much.We know, pajeet. You won't be able to afford any of these pokemon sets too!
>>11804937>These pokemon sets are fucking terrible, you have to buy the most expensive set to actually get 2 smart bricks to battle?>They should have gone the mario route, a cheap starter set sold at a loss with 2 basic pokemon>idiot ruins pokemon companyThe way they did it is absolutely good. Tf are you talking about. Mario sets fucking suck.
>>11804974>The way they did it is absolutely good. Tf are you talking about. Mario sets fucking suck.The copied the Mario playbook to a T including foot placement and size but took out anything that made Mario sets good. You’re a brain dead zoomer aren’t you?
>$50Minecraft won again
>>11804983
>>11804910>donkey with no face printinguh
more lego sonic sets when?
Jesus Christ, how are the Pokémon sets this bad?
>>11804893>>11804887>>11804883>>11804880>>11804901this is all i need.
>>11804994nintendo has a hard-on for large blocky play figures and they ask lego for most of their sets to be in that format
>>11804880i love how Squirtle looks! he's pretty much the video game sprite. I'm happy. and we get normal pokeball with him
>>11804996>Nintendo made them bulky buttholes so they can be shart brick compatible Kek
>>11804998yeah Squirtle is spot on.
>>11804880>>11804883>>11804893The 3 starters are good and come from smaller sets. I dont care about other slop. thanks god
>>11804996Even as brick built sets they look terrible. The fact mega was able to make high quality builds at a LOWER price point is absolutely insane. There is no excuse for these sets to look this bad.
Anyone know where I can get $200k worth of star wars lego? I want to buy from a bricks and mortar store not some sketchy dude online.
>>11804998>normal pokeball >not a ballMeanwhile over at dreamzzz Lego doing not Pokémon in not Pokéballs proves it’s impossible to do.
>>11805004Hit me up bro! My name’s Josh btw. Are you out west by any chance?
>>11805006>dreammzzzgay theme
Imagine if they start adding cards into these sets.
>>11805009Correct. What a stellar observation. Point is they get tiny molded figures in neat transparent enclosures and so does friends (also gay and girly omg!). Just look at this adorable little fucker with transparent dual molding.Pokémon will never get this.
>>11805016this looks like one of those molded Friends animals. I wouldn't want to have pokemon like that because i like to build things.Also molded tiny poke-figure would look weird and stupid next to a BIG brick-build figures.fuck off retard. This is some toddler-level shit. Im glad Pokemon are brick bult.
>>11805016>Just look at this adorable little fucker with transparent dual molding.Looks not even gay. More like tranny-coded.
when's that set with minifig trainers and minifig sized pokemon due?
Why does pikachu look so mean?
>>11805016>Pokémon will never get this.it will, youll just have to pay premium
>>11805022The pokeball display set (rumoured to include Red, Blue, Oak, Pikachu, Eevee and Kanto starters as new molds) is delayed to October and got a price increase (from $260 to $300)We also get a Rayquaza set in August that will have a Zinnia minifigure, we should get pictures of this one soon.
>>11805017>Im glad Pokemon are brick bult.
>>11805028>got a price increase (from $260 to $300)but jang told me lego designers are always working to a predetermined target price
>>11805030Yes and then they raise it for no reason other than fuck you you’ll buy it.
>>11805030production prices, not retail prices
>>11805029Yeah that's what i said retard.
Any rich-blooded display builders interconnected the Ninjago City sets? I remember there's the Movie Ninjago City, the City Docks, the City Gardens, the City Markets, the City Workshops, and if you can count as one, The Old Town.
did someone post the newest 1:8 car yet?
>>11805039i dont think that even rich people have enough space for that.It's bigger than that HP-castle.You have to own mansion with a room for your toy play stuff otherwise you wont be able to fit all that
>>11805042technic looks so boring these past few yearsnothing cool like the mercedes truck or the bucket wheel excavator anymore
who wants to build the pokemon themselves anywaygive me spear pillar or a gym playset or something
I think most people just wanted animal style single mold minifigs with trainers and play sets with some “battle” play features as well as a few large buildable figs.
>>11804983But where do i put my smart shit i mean brick? I cannot play legos without it making terrible noises!?
If you showed me this a couple years ago without the boxes I would just assume with certainty that it's all bootlego, not even megablox/construx, just pure shady aliexpress chinesium
>>11804880why does squirtle have a car? has he ever driven a car, even once?
>>11805042I can get an autoart 1:18 model with perfect details for half the price. It would also make me look like an adult and not like a 8 year old boy. Lego is on the wrong track here.
>>11804901>>11804897Boy, are we ready for the DnD theme in 2027? This is what we always wanted...
>>11805076Im just shocked they aren’t stickers. Wait… do any of these fuckers have stickers? That’d be the nail in the humiliation ritual coffin.
>>11804880>>11804881>>11804883>>11804888>>11804893>humiliation ritualmewtwo and lapras get a pass, but the rest is fucking horrible.
>>11805082Thankfully all the smart play pokemon sets have prints for the pokemon themselvesI'm more excited for Rayquaza now, when should we see pics?
and here I thought it couldnt possibly be any worse than lego mario
>Meanwhile Mattel's Brickslop is making another wave of Hotwheel sets instead of being Lego's competitor. Grim
>>11805076Why are the sets bad? They look like fun kids sets, much better than Mega Slop>>11805078Maybe he has a license for that?
>>11805094Awful sets
New set and gwp infoOne thing that makes me wonder is what's gonna be the distribution for smart play sets in 2027? Because apparently these sets will also be available only in 6 countries so I wonder how will they re-release these 2026 worldwide starting 2027?
>>11805099where do you put all that when a girl comes over?
>>11804983>>11804985Reminds me of this guy (these guys?)
>>11805081Smart Play (TM) is for kids, and kids don’t give a shit about DnD. It’ll be a bunch of $200+ displayslop sets like the dragon castle one.
>>11805104>he doesn't have his own special lego room>he doesn't date nerdy girls who are into legoLmao
>>11805076>>11804930>>11804914>>11804904>>11804901>>11804897>>11804896>>11804893>Can’t rebuild any as shiny since they all have fuckhueg faceplates and other printed details
>>11805131good because shinies look like absolute ass
>>11805124There was actually a rumour of a normal dnd theme for kids coming in 2027 and a cmf series 2. Hasbro is super open to that, they gave the license to other toy companies to make kids dnd toys too.
>>11805103>Pokemon Channel referencefuck they got me
>only 18+ slop will be decent nowWhyyyyI legit hoped for good kids stuff (that's available everywhere!!!)....
>>11804904hot take but this Garchomp is pretty goodif it was a normal playset without smartslop I don’t think people would mind
>>11805153Most of them look good if they were sold on their own as normal sets, Garchomp, Lapras, Mew, Mewtwo, Jigglypuff, Charizard, Cubone and Gengar work wellI legit don't get why they did all kids stuff as smart play when they knew majority of the world won't be able to buy them.
>this is the multi-billion dollar company I was telling you about
>>11805104Up her pooper.
Why couldn't they simply make Pokemon gym sets, maybe with pieces to change the type or have two types per set in a face off scenario with customizable trainer mini figures with Pokemon?
>>11805158I’m convinced they thought SmartPlay would be a big success. Hampering their biggest new IP in forever with a drought of gimmick sets doesn’t make sense otherwise.
>>11804878>>11804880>>11804881>>11804883>>11804887>>11804888>>11804889>>11804893>>11804896>>11804897>all brickbuilt Duplo smart shit>zero trainer minifigsLego and Nintendo just saved me so much money it's actually unreal.
>smart playWhy do they call it smart?
>>11805185I personally don't hate the sets but I hate the fact I'll have to wait longer to get new versions of these OT vehicles because I just started collecting LSW.
>>11805179This, btw minifig scale pokemon could be brickbuilt too, no need for them to be new molds
Smart play bros this can't be happening... it was supposed to be the biggest innovation since the minifig!
>lego current CEO was chosen after 2017 was a failure of a year for Lego (because they had 2 lego movies and the sets flopped)>he was chosen because he is a tech guy and could lead lego into the tech future they want>he is the reason we keep getting smart slop like mario and pokemon or vidiyoAbsolute state of this company, I also blame the family owners for being open to tech shit.Video of mybrickopinions on why lego failed monkie kid:https://youtube.com/watch?v=DBjg0uAs58wHe talks a lot on how much the company changed after this guy became CEO.
>>11804878>>11804880>>11804881>>11804883>>11804887>>11804888>>11804889>>11804893>>11804896>>11804897To be fair, Pokemon fans deserve this shit and more, as well as Star Wars fans, for accepting this kind of shameless shitty slop.
>>11805218Huh?
>>11805167i can already see a bunch of nightmare fuel mocs with those printed eyes
>>11805076>If you showed me this a couple years ago without the boxes I would just assume with certainty that it's all bootlegoNo you wouldn't.
>>11805193Not if they want proper scaling. Eevee is the size of a trainer’s head, I don’t think there’s a way to accurately brick-build that.
I just purchased minas tirith plus grondwhat am i in for?
>>11805226not that anon but these genuinely look worse than the mega sets and I always hated those cause of their weird part design. at least that as to facilitate things like movement/posability, these guys are just disgustingly round and soulless. like the lego version of funko pops (yes I know about brickheadz i'm talking specifically with regards to their pokemon designs)if I was a fan of this series and I really wanted a brick built figure for some reason I'd probably just go with the nanoblocks ones
>>11805228business in the front, party in the back
>>11805135There are over 1000 shinies. Is it your contention that all 1000 look like absolute ass?
>>11805237that sounds sexualalso fuck lego for giving away siege towers in physical stores, i dont have a lego store in my town so im getting jewed
>>11805135The smart brick sets alone contain a handful of pokemon with top-tier shinies. Black and red Charizard, umbreon with blue rings, gengar with the saturation slider turned down three per cent, etc.
They're definitely doing a Lex Luthor Mech Suit vs Superman set next year.
Ah yes, Pikachu with a kitchen and squirtle with a burger and a car. It takes me back to the old gameboys you know
>>11805313I really hate their mech suit builds almost entirely because of those shitty right angle pieces they use for the (lack of) joints
>>11805228Massive yellowing in a couple years
>>11805182>TrainersNobody gives a shit about pokemon trainers except pedos and waifufags (its the same thing in Pokemon cards collecting - nobody is interested in Trainer Cards besides pedos. people just want Pokemon creatures).And what do you mean "duplo"oh you mean...actual BRICK-BUILT pokemon? NO WAY holy shit. who would expect Lego make BRICK-BUILT pokemon.go buy those toddler toys from that "Pokemon thread" if you want to play with "figures"
>>11804880>>11804881why the fuck do they have vehicles? I hate everything
>>11805340I always assume when a vehicle shows up in a licensed set and it isn't even something relevant to the IP (seriously why aren't they using misty's bike or the thing they ride in on pokemon snap or the SS Anne or whatever) that it's just some bullshit they threw together for the sake of arbitrarily raising the piece count (and thus, justifying whatever large pricetag they already decided on)
>>11805340it's a toy for kids. just 1 simple squirtle would be boring.As a kid I would personally hate it. Car makes it more fun - i can play with it and ride Squirtle around>>11805340>I hate everythingwow...anon is a hateful fuck with no imaginationGo figure.
DON'T CALL YOURSELF A REAL FAN IF YOU DON'T REMEMBER THE EPISODE ABOUT SQUIRTLE ON A BUGGY SHOOTING WATER AT A BURGER
>>11805349>>11805337I'm trans, btw. Don't know if that changes anything.
>>11804880imagine if instead of a random cart and hamburger stand they included a second squirtle with sunglasses
>>11805359>OMG IMAGINE IF THY WOULD INCLUDE AN OLD 90S ANIME EPISODE REFERENCE IN A KIDS TOY TODAY :Dunc slop reference pls go
>>11805349Mega Construx didnt have that problem
>>11805362if they were interested in the children instead of winning over basedlennials then why is the entire lineup made up of gen 1 pokemon (and garchomp, which is also about 20 years old at this point mind you)
>>11805362yeah they would NEVER make toys that reference some one-off episode of the anime
>>11805376I honestly don't get why they haven't just changed how ditto works in the games so that this is his default mode, it's pretty much the only thing that pokemon is known for at all at this point (besides being used for easy breeding in day care centers, I guess)
>>11805362Yeah, 26 million views are nothing, kids don't know the og anime that's why most of these sets are 1st generation
>>11805379ditto is supposed to make perfect copies, the "dittoface" was an anime plot point about a specific ditto that had trouble mimicking faces
>>11805371>>11805399they shill the first gen because they’ve been shilling the first gen for so long that it’s still what kids knowan average kid playing pokemon games isn’t going to know who jessie and james are but they know charizard and gengar and whatnot because the games still shove them down your throat
With the whole first wave now revealed, I think Lego did a very good job in designing the Smart Play sets. I have no interest in that style of sets, but the age range they are designing for will. The blocky look takes getting used to, but first off its Lego and blocks and second off each was clearly designed so you could easily remove and replace the Smart Brick. The design has to therefore fit around that requirement.The mix of this, the brick built statues of Pokemon and the rumored Poke Ball with interior scene set seems like a pretty good launch for Lego and Pokemon. Way better than what Mega ever did.
>>11805412Okay, chatgpt.
>mfw pokemon smart play sets will only be available in US, UK, France, Germany, Poland and Australia in 2026Why even live, I legit want a lot of these sets (don't care about smart brick or smart tags, will probably throw those in the trash)I genuinely think these sets look fun and cute, what a shame I won't be able to buy them
>>11805412>seems like a pretty good launch for Lego and Pokemonnope.this CMF figure has a new hair piece (the hair piece is dual-molded colors), new printed torso/legs. new molded animal companion piece.five bucks. $5there's no reason Lego couldn't do the same thing for Pokemon. THAT is what customers expected. minifigs. in little scenes with little Pokemon.Lego failed. anything besides that is going to look ridiculous. it makes them look like idiots. sorry. it's the truth.
So if Lego started releasing sets with trainer minifigures and pokemon figures similar to the minifigure scale such as the dragon in pic related; How many of these pokemon and trainer would you potentially want to collect?
>>11805104>where do you put all that when a girl comes over?Women like lego now
>>11804992The summer sets were already revealed, and we sure as shit aren't getting more. Sonic and AC got cucked by the Smart Play, unfortunately>>11805218Unironically this. I don't like Mega, yet still, I can admit their Pokémon sets were just better. With the exception of Eevee, everything ranges from passable (with a huge discount) to dogshit>>11805081I hope the Smart Brick ends up a financial disaster for LEGO, and they end up having to innovate with original themes again
This thing fucking sucks btw.
>>11805416Even worse: that faggot is just copypasting eurobricks/brickset/leddit posts (which actually might be AI-generated)
>>11805435Not my girl she's just a bitter asshole
>>11805454You know what to do anon >>11805175
>>11805448We warned you in the previous thread.
>>11805435>ugly ass bull on her shirtI would fling poo at her since she loves crappy shit so much. she'd probably even eat the faeces whilst feigning interest in lego
>>11805448its a modern lego buildable figure with some minifigs and display stand to jack up the price, of course its gonna suck
>dumbass zoomoids crying about pokemon sets ruined my appetitei swear this garbage thread is like a second /v/ where poorfag zoomers don't buy games (lego sets in this situation) but only complain and cry
>>11805467>>11805461The display despite being half the bags is flimsy and feels like it’s going to fall apart. At least the deku tree base is solid by comparison. The big Ganon is so fucking top heavy and convoluted in construction it damn near falls over despite being being clipped to the base. It’s like trying to pose one of those damn NECA gargoyles. I could go on and on but hot damn what a hot turd… glad the minifigures clock in at $230… soulless faces and all.
New Zelda set coming this fall, will have new BotW Zelda and Link Minifigs and a big scale brick built master sword with a display piece. Will be far cheaper than deku tree but a little more expensive than Ganondorf set.
>>11805410>>11805362Kids are absolutely familiar with the original anime. My niece and nephew watch it on Netflix. And I was at a 70th birthday party just this weekend, and there was a boy with a pokemon lunchbox thing. I asked him what his favourite pokemon were and he more or less ignored the question and just listed off in order all the Pokemon Ash caught and how he caught them.
>>11805431Pokemon CMF with a trainer and one pokemon (or maybe some could be big humanoid pokemon?) would be goated and a money printing machine.
>>11805494I thought it was a significant upgrade from the tree (editor’s note: I did not buy the tree)
>>11805494We fucking told you and you scoffed at us. This is what you get for you gay ass counterpoints.
I want you to fucking apologise to MEGA right fucking now. I'm serious.
>>11805362>OMG IMAGINE IF THEY WOULD INCLUDE AN OLD 70S SCIFI MOVIE VEHICLE REFERENCE IN A KIDS TOY TODAY :DI know zoomzooms are retarded but still
>>11805525that squirtle set looks great. My kids would love that.
>>11804878wow these pokemon sets are terrible. every one.
>>11805536its unfortunate that all of these smartbrick sets look really fun when you exclude all the smartbrick elements. A Tatooine gas station with a land speeder is a great idea
>>11805432If they weren’t shit and/or horribly overpriced all of them. A big display full of mons and locations from the games would be fun to put together.
>best pokemon set is still the limited GWP that got scalped to shit

I don't know why but none of these sets have me hyped, not even pokemon in general but all summer sets

>>11805627But will it be classic or Z line up of minifigs? Both are allowed on Ideas (Super, Daima and GT too) so I wonder which versions we get... I guess Z
>>11805627For me its the x files set
>>11805185>Why do they call it smart?because you have to be dumb to believe it.
>small brick built pokemon in scale with minifigs wouldn't workWRONG
>>11805651pikachu, eevee and bulbasaur are nightmare fuel. charmander and squirtle are ok.
>>11805651Lego has already established a design consistency and it would seem awkward, or out of place, or not-"Lego" if the Pokemon were both small AND built out of bricks. minifig trainers would require the same type of companions.everything else about that pic is solid gold. Lego would make sure to include le-black-display-base adding 4000 more pieces so they can properly charge $500 for it tho
>someone's small moc cubone is better than the official Aya carambe... this was a mistake
the moc
the official
Saw this set in an antique shop while on a well deserved vacation from my scavenging. 1000 MKD is about $18 burger bucks. I was going to talk the guy way down because I did want the mini fig. As it turned out the box didn’t contain any Lego at all. Just a scale model of a Transformer from some Japanese company. Shop owner thought he had an actual Lego set. I’ve had better luck by trash cans back home.
>>11805673it looks better than that moc.
>>11805673Still better than this shit
>>11805679The moc not only skillfully reuses parts, it gets cubones slanted eye down perfectly which the awkward curved skull doesn't
>>11805621Damn those drug cartels
Whats the final consensus on these?
>>11805678Gem purchase18 dollars is a steal for the old spier arms grievous
>>11805685lego being lazy is the concensuswhere is the bounty hunter remake pursuit i have been promised that took more than 20 years? there have already been so many at-at and sandcrawler sets produced.
>>11805686>As it turned out the box didn’t contain any Lego at all. Just a scale model of a Transformer from some Japanese company. Shop owner thought he had an actual Lego set. I’ve had better luck by trash cans back home.
>>11805694Its a 2027 set
>>11805228any reason I shouldn't cop Minas tirith for the Grond GWP and return Minas tirith and eat the $30 cost?any long term repercussions for doing this?
>>11805125>>11805435Not really, they only discovered that it’s good click bait on social media. Cabbage girl may be authentic and I certainly would lick the lint from Holly’s belly button but most are just larping at the end of the day. >>11805593This>>11805354It doesn’t. Fuck off
>>11805685Consensus? they were literally just revealed
Smart play? More like shart gay!
Remember, it took 7 years for Mario to get minifigsSo it will take a few years until pokemon sets are greatJust wait
>>11805443Fuck I just want Blaze and gyaru Rouge
>>11804878We should be happy we even got this amount of pokemon variety, no need to make everything a controversy
>still the best pokemon set
>>11805686based retard
Where are Rayquaza pictures?????
>>11805694Comes out this July. Will be revealed soon.
>>11805733an anon with no source said tomorrow earlier in the threadso I choose to believe
>>11805726We should just accept this shit because... they gave us variety? Sorry but the fact lego got fucking owned by Mega's Pokémon sets is not something to just accept. Retards like you are why we keep getting shit products. Pic related retails for 30 dollars btw.
Just bought
>>11805762cringe
>>11805767Why? And I'm just going to resell it
Finally got series 29 in my country so I picked up my favourites. Probably would have gotten the chocolatier and tuba player as well if I had a dedicated city to put them in. I think these three will look great next to my D&D figs though
>>11805695Nooooooooo :(>>11805729I have a soft spot for the old shitty star wars alien designs
>>11805782This is a pokemon thread
>>11805685Garbage just like The Mandalorian show/movie itself.
>>11805685These suck btw, missing like 300-400 pieces each for the price on top of the actual builds being kinda undersized
>>11805726fuck that. Mega did Lapras better. Furthermore, we also get actual discounts while Lego just continues to be the Nintendo of toys in price
>>11805228THis looks like shit no offense
>>11804992sonic's arms are NOT BLUE
Recent B&M haul for my castle moc, I know the whole controversy is bad but it’s the only place that I can just get the parts I want from the bulk tables, and the b&m near my house is ok, the owners are nice
>>11805961This guy’s definitely Mormon.
>>11805961Same. My BAM is decently ran and has good deals and bulk items.
>>11804880ah yes, squirtle's iconic moon buggy and hamburger
>>11805983Mine is full of sinister mormons
>>11804963>If you dislike the sets you are IndianLooks like the majority of the thread here is Indian then. No, I will not be buying this Lego Pokemon block garbage.
>>11804996>>11804999>>11805002Nintendo does not have a say in what the Lego set looks like. If anything they probably insisted on NO fucking stickers. But no, they are not responsible for designing this crap or the Mario sets. It's actually a guy at Lego who got told by everyone on staff that this was a really bad idea. That's why for Zelda and Animal Crossing they went with minifigs. Most likely the Pokemon sets were in development a while back with the the smart brick shit but they wanted to debut it with Star Wars (and nobody took the bait).
>>11806007Also fun fact: Nintendo doesn't make Pokemon. If there's any problem it's probably Pokemon Co.'s fault.
>>11805200>MnRYou know this rich nigger just cleared that Walmart to resell an no kids are getting any of that.
>>11805432>No Charizard like this>No Gyarados>No Ponyta>>11805435She owes me marriage and 4 babies
>>11805685Disappointing.
>>11805762You boughted? DUMP IT
>>11804914Pure psychic energy, in my pants
>>11806007prove it
>>11806058Which part?
>>11805961>I know the whole controversy is bad but it’s the only place...>>11805961>the b&m near my house is ok, the owners are nice>>11805983>Same. My BAM is decently ranit would be different if you did not know about the controversy. but you DO know. and you still choose to give those [crooks?] your business. yes, the [crooks] get your money despite muh-nice-local-store-ownersto you, the BaM stores should have virtually vanished. yes they are technically still there, but you shouldn't be going in. I don't think it's up to [us?] to protest outside the stores to spread the story, but if you know about it, and still go in... that's morally wrong.b-but I don't know the whole story, I'm not the lawyer so it's not up to me to punish them, or punish myself by excluding the store from my shopping options.what a strange dilemma. I'm glad I don't have one of those stores near me to have to make that choice (I probably wouldn't go, myself)
>>11806062Nintendo not having a say in the broader play pattern of the products using their IP (large play figures and display pieces vs minifigure playsets)
>>11806007>Nintendo does not have a say in what the Lego set looks like.yes. exactly.Lego hands them a prototype set and says "is this cool?" and the Nintendo guy says "where are the Minifigs?" and the Lego guy says "we think this will sell better, so that's what we're doing. is it good like this though?" and the Nintendo guy says "sure. Squirtle always had a moon buggy, right?"the Nintendo guy is NOT the guy saying "giant square-faced Pokemon! that's what we thought you'd do! so do that!"
>>11805878Lego Lapras is much better lil bro
>hype cycle gone>already forgottenWhat went wrong with this theme?
No leaks for Ninjago? We're only getting four sets this June (Legacy X-1 Charger and the new Legends sets)?
>>11806105What else do you want? All Ninjago summer sets are already out outside USYou didn't see these? Legacy is done for now btw, we aren't getting more next year, only for anniversaries (dumb choice) but we will get more Legends stuff in 2027.
>>11806109More Legends is concerning... So, what are your expectations for next year? For example, the proper reveal of Ras's master.
>>11805627What are your expectations lads on the minifig lineup? I say Goku, Vegeta, Bulma, Picollo and Krillin.Also leakers said more Jap IP is coming in 2027 (among them now we know its Yugioh), I wonder what else are we getting? Maybe Naruto? Can't think of anything else really
>>11805762Why?
>>11806102that's a long ass neck!
>>11805961>>11805983>B&MKill yourself.
>>11806104not anime-accurate. especially the Luffy figure.
>>11806110>your expectations for next yearI personally expect more of the same but much more insane, for example now most of the budget will go only to show sets and legends, for 2026 it was split with legacyI also expect some new location sets, a new destiny bounty (because I think the one with wheels retires by december next year), maybe we get a Legends destiny bountyI expect the duskfall storyline from this year legends stuff to lead to a full fledged show very soon, the next gen of ninjagoThe storyline of dragons rising should in theory end in 2027 with the 5 seasons story arc. We also should get more info on the live action movie (with a 2028/2029 release window). Ras master is probably the tiger from season 2 of DR that the F5 imprisoned.
>>11806125>anime accurateFunny thing is Fortnite will get anime skins soon for One Piece and we might get our first anime one piece minifigs.... in fortnite lolI do think our best bet at an anime OP set is a thousand sunny 18+ set since baratie will retire in july 2027 and it will be a while until live action gets to sunny (if they get that far, they didn't start filming season 4 yet, though its being written)
>>11806123>B&M badWhy? Can someone explain this whole controversy in simple terms? I legit don't understand it
Genuine question here guys, with seeing what's happening to other hobbies and speculative investing; what is stopping someone from doing a buy out of a set or mini on Bricklink and ebay and completely wiping out all inventory to pump said item's price? Especially how affordable some sets are compared to singles in MTG or Pokemon
>>11806137People have tried, for example purple bohrok eyes, and it sucks, almost as much as smartbricks
>>11806117>>11805627>>11805624You deserve to be slaughtered.
My local B&M is run by assholes but their bulk bins have a lot of good parts so I'm torn, I don't want to give them money but I know I can get good shit for a good price if I spend a couple hours at the bulk bin.
>>11806145join a large local religious group and steal from them, the police will protect you
>>11806104>What went wrong with this theme?terrible set design. requires you buy every set, as each one is specifically missing something that should be there, but is in a different set.for example Miss All Sunday included in $200+ set she has no reason to be in other than pay-that-$200-suckahI want to slap the Lego employee who thought it was a good idea to have sets with and without Luffy WEARING his hat, it's so frustrating argh he's the main character and his hat is his most important thing aaaaaargh!!!! why do I need to spend $100+ to get him wearing his hat!!!!!!!! seriously hat-wearing should be a requirement in every set he's in.
>>11806137nothing but it is not really lucrative in the long run since it's easy and cheap for the manufacturer to restock it, they already made atleast 4x the money back (extremely low estimate) just from the scalper buying it, and if people are patient they can just wait for it to be restocked and buy it at RRP, also if scalpers do this too much it makes the sets or cards worth less second-hand since there are way more of them produced. But if scalpers do this for sets that are already out of production it's way worse, if you buy up all of a certain set or figure on bricklink you can easily get a monopoly on it, luckily most scalpers are not smart enough to think of this.
What six-wide car should I make next?
>>11806104won't buy it simply because of the mexican on the box
I think the pokemon sets are great, I don't get the hate, only thing I say is bad is the region exclusivity
>>11804914Looks like a 2000s set
>>118061681925 Rolls Royce Phantom.
>>11806071>>11806145It’s a weird situation for sure, The Lego stores near me aren’t any better either. Statue shit and IP trash fill the shelves, and the prices are nuts too. The PAB walls are dismal. Half the wall is bright colored 1x1 studs, tiles and cheese slopes. At least at B&M I can get what I need and find some cool old school pieces, but the set prices are also questionable.Basically boils down to which shitty company I’m gonna give my money to.
>>11806181Cool suggestion, I'll give it a shot!
>>11806137Sales tax and shipping costs add up and eat profit.
Pokémon leaks:>Pokémon CMF (separate from the CMF theme!) in the works for FALL 2027 release>Most characters are opponents of Ash (like gym leaders, gary, teamrocket, etc, but also Ash’s mom)>each character comes with their own Pokémon>Ash’s mom comes with Mr Mime>instead of disposable boxes like other cmf they come in large multi part Poké Balls similar to how Vidiyo came in their own little carrying case>there’s two additional series in the works>it’s not cmf 1 or cmf 2 but the first one is Poké Ball cmf series and the second is Great Ball cmf series>price is estimated $18 USD each>10 characters in first wave with their own respective Pokémon in the first wave>depending on demand this could be a lot more waves (though series 2 is guarenteed)>more minifig scale sets are coming at different price points, including a Pokémon Center>Smart Play sets will continue in 2027 and should have better distribution>more 18+ brickbuilt Pokémon (such as Groudon and Psyduck), including a Pokédex set with an exclusive Pokémon and minifig
>>11806079They only check if the characters look accurate. They leave the models up to designers, like the ? Box? Those are not in Mario 64 and the interior is Mario 64 stuff. The NES with the TV? Im pretty sure the NES was being made (like the GameBoy, Genesis, Atari) and the designer retard was like "hey. We can make this more expensive with this shit that also requires the Mario smart figure".
>>11805685I might have actually bought the Sandcrawler if it weren't fucking GRAY. It seems decent otherwise but obviously overpriced due to Star Wars tax. The AT-AT I just don't get. It's a worse version of the previous AT-AT with some shitty minifigures.
>>11806194between shart bricks and mando slop there's a massive content drought for star wars of shit the few remaining star wars fans care about. I still mald hard on that turbo tank from last year, probably the only star wars set I was excited for besides the UCS slave 1 and then it happened and was a fucking farce.
>>11806199Do children even like the Sneedalorian? I never watched seasons 2 and 3 because I heard they turned into Ahsokaslop but I still think season 1 was probably the best thing that Disney ever managed to squeeze out using the Star Wars brand. It doesn't seem like the kind of thing that would really appeal to children though. They need to focus on prequels/Clone Wars sets since I think at this point that is what most Star Wars collectors are interested in, but they keep half-assing all of the prequel era sets and then massively overpricing them in order to funnel money into shartbrick sets and Groguslop
>>11806120Resell.
>>11806188Nice fan fiction.
>>11806216They tried to course correct the brand with dozens of colorful Mandos after the pegwarmer garbage of Jinn and that black guy, but the show ended a while ago and people only cared about S1/S2 (I have no context, I didn't even finish episode 9). But it doomed us to a movie subtheme that wasted a year of star wars sets between the shart brick failure.
Friendly reminder that in China there is a brand called “Keeppley” that makes officially licensed building sets for PokemonEach of them looks nicer than every one of the small LEGO sets (imo) and they’re like 1/4th the costAgain, these are official Pokemon product as well!
>>11806126Do you think they get a redemption arc despite all that, or they could be manipulated by a darker force? With the lingering thread of Nexo Knights potentially being connected to Ninjago like Chima was, I have a feeling Monstrox is Ras's master.
>>11806219Based
>>11806279I mean when the entire head is a unique piece, then sure. Bodies look as shit as the lego stuff.
>>11806279>molded headsinto the trash it goeschinkslop is that way poorfag
Starting to genuinely think a lot of ""LEGO"" """Fans""" aren't actually fans of LEGO and are just minifig fags that for some reason never decided to collect Tomys minifigs because i dont know, LEGO is more accepted as "adult"?
>>11805726sorry anon its LEGO and Pokemon, it's gonna attract the most autistic, mad doesnt actually buy the product people imaginable.Only way it could be even more autistic is if also was Thomas the Tank Engine.
>>11805217god, look at all those fucking plates in bulbasaur's body, it looks like ass.>>11805618That's just how bad this whole situation is
>>11806361>god, look at all those fucking plates in bulbasaur's body, it looks like ass.you just want action figures
>>11806364NTA but those plates do indeed look like ass and seems likely you’re not going to deconstruct it for all those tiny plates to moc with so it’s even more ass. So are you btw. Ass I mean.
>>11806378>and seems likely you’re not going to deconstruct it for all those tiny plates to moc with so it’s even more ass.projecting much?
Imagine placing the Dragon Suit heads on the NRG suits, that would make it look infinitely cool. But it can only just destroy NRG Jay's unified look by having a clear green head appearance-wise (the head is clear yellow installed inside a blue zukin piece).
>>11805772You won't.
>>11806384No I’m just very familiar with nulego and all those tiny specific prices are useless when trying to moc. Doesn’t change the fact that it still looks like ass. I wasn’t going to get any pokeshart sets anyway but hot damn I didn’t expect them to suck this much ass.Also, you don’t own any legos stfu.
>>11806364Hey retard by your logic it should look bad because instead of showing the studs it's masking them. Nobody wins with this shit design except Lego who has an excuse to bump of piece count to justify price points.
>>11805582where is the leak nigga
>>11806216Season 2 had a great finale. It should have just ended there. Season 3 is really where they fucked it. I think that's where Filoni took over because like 3 episodes in suddenly you have to care about Bo Katan (Literally who?) and Ass-oka (again, literally who? I don't remember her form any of the 6 canon films). But they also expected you to watch Book of Boba Fett, which happens to also have the Mandalorian in it. I liked Book of Boba Fett because I like Boba and the actor, but it's not something you can take seriously at all. It was all ending up like slop upon slop to eventually cash in on the Mando movie which feels like they cut a bunch of shit out or rewrote because actual star wars fans don't give a fuck about Filoni slop and Clone Wars.

>>11806104that uninviting incel face in the left corner is preventing me from buying these sets.
Has any LEGO set ever used cotton threads or string before? If LEGO started with wooden bricks, we could have sworn they also used other kinds of material before ABS plastic.
>>11806466>they aren’t all disgustingly hideously overpricedthat’s nice at least
>>11806131do you live on a desert island with only 5 minutes to post here or something? it's just the biggest lego scandal in history involving the corruption of a whole police department.
>>11806473>>11806468how does gwp work? I really like this set. that poke-TV is amazing and ditto looks greatMight be my favorite set holy shit
I saw a video of these smart play pokemon, social media is starting to be flooded with them. They actually make some classic pokemon sounds so its miles better than star wars ones, they also do the classic pokemon gameboy theme kantoooo
>>11806468>>11806473>squirtle on tv is in trans colors>set is about a ditto wanting to be a squirtleI’m noooooticing
>>11806188>nstead of disposable boxes like other cmf they come in large multi part Poké Balls similar to how Vidiyo came in their own little carrying caseDoes this mean they aren't blind bags like cmf and you don't have to scan them to get the one you want?
>>11806505Fuck off, Just2good
Premier ball paper bag revealed, will be released worldwide compared to smart play sets which are region locked. This bag also confirms that future non smart play kids sets will use this yellow packaging.Rayquaza should be revealed soon
>>11806499>They actually make some classic pokemon soundsholy fucki want them all then.I was afraid if they will be anime-sounds (like gengary saying GEEEENGAAAARRRRR). 8bit sounds is kinodaaamn my walllet is gonna get bad time this year
Another paper bag revealedRayquaza any time now... maybe we are lucky and they reveal the pokeball minifigure set too?
>>11806513Finally some cheap, iconic pokemon sets like a pile of inanimate junk!
>>11806466Now that it’s all revealed, we can agree this is a pretty damn good first wave, right?
Lmao, this will flop so hard
>>11806519We'll see until we get these revealed
>>11806468The only of these sets I’m sort of interested in and it’s locked behind buying like three of the shitty smartplay sets
>>11806513>>11806508so far i liked everything they revealed.These pokeball polybags will be super cheap and i will get a shit ton of them just to have a LOT of pokeballs lying around

>>11806508>smart play sets which are region locked.what regions are they being released in?Just USA and EU?no Australia or China for example?
>>11806545The blobby purple and white thing is very clearly (well, not that clearly) a potion you mongoloid
>>11806545It’s obviously supposed to be a potion considering the shape and colorsIt’s also the only item with no leaves on itIf you disagree then tell us what berry it’s supposed to be
>>11806466>$660 for the full wave>12 sets combined cost the same as one (1) Charizard, one (1) Blastoise, and one (1) Venusaurlmao

>>11806466>>11806519>Now that it’s all revealed, we can agree this is a pretty damn good first wave, right?it will sell based purely on"this is your only option"not because it's "good"or because "it's exactly what we wanted, when we heard Lego was doing Pokemon!!!"it's truly embarrassing that's what we got. it won't be DOA complete-no-sell, simply because the POWER of "Pokemon" but you gotta admit, it's mind boggling direction to gowho at Lego was in charge of Sonic The Hedgehog? that guy knew what people want. Animal Crossing guy, too (except those AC sets needed more Minifigs, but at least the sets were solid)
>>11806556For my money, the smaller sets also look better than this monstrosity. Not to say these smartplay sets look great by any measure, but the $700 Charizard’s face is extremely busted
>>11806559How dare you say that to me
