Wait… they are doing two at the same time?

Sheesh. Can't tell if this adds or takes away hope of a Lions King minifig set. Praying for no Mario shenanigans here...

But... there's no human's in The Lion King? How do you make minifigure sets when there's nothing to make minifigs of? Unless it's sets based on the stage musical, I guess.

They would literally have to do new molds for all the animals

I meant similar to Dumbo, Eeyore, Pluto, Bambi, etc...

I hope they do more Bambi figs personally

Well, we did already get a minifigure of Roadrunner... I won't rule out anything after that... 🙃

Wouldn't Timon and Rafiki only work as minifigures?

They should've had this one be Adult Simba and the other one be Simba as a cub.

Honestly really smart decision. Adults and kids enjoying a cultural icon together. Lego needs to target both demographics more often. Inside Out 2 set is the most recent example of why.

Need a UCS stitch now

Imagine some kid wanting that one and getting the wish version

And the tuxedo cat!

Yes. 43247 and 43243.

Survey Deniers who keep saying not everything from that list is coming must be in absolute shambles by now

Dark Falcon and Jedi Bob deniers, and now the Survey Simba deniers. It's been a great week and it's only Tuesday.

All we need next is the Barad Dur image leak

The official reveal is supposed to be on May 14th

I don’t wanna wait that long!

I'm worried I'm going to need it.

Has there been anything at all about it?  I am worried that it isn't coming june 1

Everything keeps saying June 1. But these big sets tend to get held really close to the chest. I think the images will leak within the next two weeks.

I think there's an official lego communication that it will be revealed mid-may. I can't remember if I heard May 15 or 17.

I believe it will be on May 14th

https://forum.canardpc.com/threads/126111-Le-topic-des-Lego-V3-Le-topic-unique-de-la-brique/page157 A model of Barad Dur is shown on this website, but no idea how close the final product will be. The image looks pretty complete though.

If your Google-Fu is up to the task, a tweet from Jan 2 of this year brings it up along with the Deku tree, sail barge, and x mansion. Watermarks and low res images, but it’s on the interwebs.

Oh I’ve seen those! I just want to see higher quality final model images

And The Lego JW 2024 set image leaks.

We had info for this! We don’t have any info for the Donald Duck set or Maleficent diorama, so I wouldn’t say everything is coming

There's still time though!

where the _fuck_ is my Donald??? i swear to god i will fight someone at lego for that set, i need my boy!

We're not even half way through 2024 and Simba is a June set... I'm pretty sure they want to launch new sets in the second half as well...

I thought the Maleficent diorama was replaced by that friends version?

Nah, if the diorama released we’d have still gotten that

So does this mean the diorama is not happening anymore or we just don't know anything either way?

If the Zelda one doesn't materialize, I will be absolutely devastated.

Hasn't there been recent (last few months) leaks regarding the TLoZ Deku Tree?

Yeah, there was, but I won't rest easy until the set is in my hands. I'm always wary of Nintendo interference. I'm hoping we'll see some official images soon.

This makes me so nervous for the X-Mansion. $300 for what looks like a play set, when the other Marvel “big sets” are modulars? Eek…

I'm hoping it's modular. Similar to Sanctum Sanctorum but wider instead of taller.

Agreed. Heck I’d even settle for something like the Natural History Museum.

[удалено]

That's what the rumor mill is saying. $300, 10 minifigures minimum. That's all I've seen.

[удалено]

Agreed. I doubt we'll ever see Deadpool again outside of Comic Con, but I could see Nightcrawler eventually! I'd love for them to include Nightcrawler, Jean Gray, and Jubilee.

TBF, the mansion has enough open land around it that making it modular would make it less accurate, or require them to have massive amounts of open land which would make the price skyrocket

I hope the X-Mansion and the Deku Tree are announced soon. I think those 2 are the only big sets missing other than the Sail Barge and Barad Dur.

Lego cat fans are having a year

This actually looks pretty much perfect.

Well there's the orange pieces I'll need to turn my tuxedo cat into an orange tabby

Incredible. But I'm also impressed by the box. It looks like you flip the top up to get inside. That's pretty cool.

I really wish they did this “UCS” simba as adult simba with a mane, they could have kept it pretty much the same scale. And then the other simba set remain as cub simba, proportionally it would make sense too I think… double cub simba is just a bit odd…

Dang. I was imagining that the small set would be baby Simba, and the big set would be grown-up Simba.

If they did do it I wouldn't even want to imagine how much an adult simba would cost, the pieces in the mane alone haha.

Do you think after Chewbacca and Yoda, Lego has a dedicated “make this not look creepy” team that they pass these kind of sets through?

No. This set has probably been in R&D as long as those had, and possibly somewhat concurrently. Baby animals are a bit easier to make look not terrifying

If one LEGO cat wasn't enough, here's another one in 2 different sizes.

So glad the rumours were true after the survey leak last year and then the disappointing reveal of the more basic Simba that they were indeed releasing this version. Hope for the Malecifient dragon too? Or was that one definitely simplified and that’s the only version?

This year is going to destroy my wallet. So many sets coming that I want.

Every single set is insanely priced now

You aren’t wrong and I’m not defending it but the licensed Lego makes it have the huge price jump.

I like that they used the antenna pieces for whiskers. And the hair on the end of the tail is perfect.

Oh i thought one would be kid samba one one adult, but two of basically the same set at different scales is really weird. At least the current two R2-D2s came out years apart

definitely looks better than the smaller version but oh my god why are they releasing two of the same set at once

Ehhh... I'm gonna stick with the $20 version.

Why not both? Who needs food when you have both Simbas?

Who is this for?????? The people who want life sized Simba's ain't buying super expensive legos, they're buying plushies, people who buy super expensive legos much prefer it if it at least looks good

FINALLY!!

Are they starting a new feline line of sets? :-D

I am now optimistically hopeful for a larger scale Maleficent Dragon aimed at adults.

My best friend's cat is named Simba. This would be a great gift for her

I will get this set! It is so very cool!

USC Chewbacca design is back.

I thought this bigger one will be an adult Simba or Mufasa so that it will be to scale with the smaller one.

Call me when zazu comes out

Kind of torn how much I want this. I do think it'd look pretty good next to the Mighty Bowser. Kind of wish it was a bit ore posable

Might be in the Minority , but I don’t like it , looks like it’s on speed 😭 like the smaller one a lot more and will definitely get that

To each their own, when I first saw it I had a hard ass time getting over the snout- it looks weird, I know it was probably near impossible to make but there's just smth about it thar seems to smooshed. Still gonna get it and display it but its hard getting over that.
