I'll almost certainly get one Iron Man - I'd like all 3 to create that repulsor blast image but it's not essential. The others I'm not too fussed about.

If they started making pictures of SW scenes however... I'll have that X-Wing squadron going into their first attack run please. If you know the film, you'll know exactly which scene I'm thinking of.

As for Marvel - I want Captain America or his shield, or both. Must be in the works, surely?

I suspect this is a test water and the inclusion of 5 real characters is something to draw the adult crowd.

Ok, a group of new sets have been revealed and here they are:
- New Trolls set and an awesome Halloween themed farm which is a must buy:

- Another Halloween set but this one isn't so interesting to me:

Three new LEGO Monkey Kid sets have been revealed and to be honest, I am not yet interested in this colourful theme:

Hopefully yes.

I have got to start saving up for this set! I'm one of those old people who played the first Nintendo games as an adult and although Super Mario was not my favorite (Legend of Zelda was) I did play it a lot. Maybe they will come out with some additional games for it?

I've removed some detritus from this thread and asked @lordmoral not to post about every new set unnecessarily when they are being discussed elsewhere.

I'd suggest not posting 'I'm buying it!' comments about every set, too...

Here is my updated sets to buy so as to try not to go out of them and go for unwanted lights (I welcome you to write your lists as well):
Non SW D2C (the ones that are SW will be in that category) and collaborations:
-Ikea LEGO boxes (from the look of them in the LEGO Twitter and Facebook pages they look neat not just for storing parts);
-Haunted House (an awesome nostalgic punch as all the Easter eggs it has for 90's fans are awesome);
-NES (I remember playing with my NES with my family watching, this is a personal nostalgic level) on a note, I might buy the Mario Starter Set to have the sounds;
-Pirates of Barracuda Bay (it fits into my World and I couldn't buy the originals Pirates due to a lack of funds);
Architecture:
-WH (I never got around to buy any of the past sets in this lone but better late than never);
Jurassic World:
-Dr Wu Lab (baby dinos);
Star Wars:
-x7 501st packs (need to go around LEGO 3 limit per address in the US);
-2020 AAT;
-AT-AT (it's a shame that it isn't the Rogue One AT-ACT but I'll take it and if possible I might buy a second one to modify it into a Legends AT-AT Swimmer);
-Bespin Duel (dont usually buy the duel sets but this is pretty and special);
-x1 Sith Mosaic (Team Varder);
-Jedi Final Duel (never got around to buy the first version);
-2017 UCS Millenium Falcon (everytime I have the cash something breaks in my house);
-2019 Tantive IV (the very first SW ship we see in film of the beloved franchise history not counting trailers);
City:
-Underwater Lab (it can be a neat fixture in my World);
-Submarine (the one with the angler fish);
Seasonal: 
-Halloween Farm;
Ninjago:
-Skull Sorcerer Dragon;

There are some interesting sets yet to come that haven't been officially revealed in press release so I'll make a small post to add them. There are also some individual parts like the HP butterbeer glasses that are awesome. I am more than welcome to see your lists and remember, the LEGO community is like a giant brick pile, all parts will be different but all can serve their purpose depending who is building with them.

Lordmoral

Update:
Mos Eisley Cantina (I have a few good plans for this beast but with some expensive sets like the UCS Falcon well, it might be moved for a next year purchase).

Well now, LEGO sure surprised us with the announcement of two SW sets for next year. While I am interested in Ben Hut (need to check what I will do with another Ben, 3PO and Luke figures) I like another Tusken Raider added to my ranks. The Hut seems to be complete and that is a rarity for licensed sets as a whole. I am surprised we haven't gotten word of new summer and fall 2019 sets but as I understand the fall sets are largely: Rise of Skywalker, The Mandalorian and Jedi Fallen Order from what I have understand and as such under heavy compartment. 

I somehow agree with you

Lordmoral

Update: the apperant official 77904 Nebulon B Frigate instruction reveal was shown and we might not known how they'll be sold but it appears that it doesn't have any exclusive part so we can buy the parts using LEGO Brick and Pieces and do it ourselves.

Lordmoral

For 2021:
Marvel:
-76173 Spider Man and Ghost Rider vs Carnage (that car looks awesome and it's why I am buying this as a gift to my father, I would have prefered another new baddy as wel have tons of Carnages, maybe LEGO wants us to recreate one of the more darker Carnage stories)

Lordmoral

More for 2021:
City:
- The tractor and the small Dump Truck (not sure about the new baseplates as I have my City in the Modular building setting);

Lordmoral

More for 2021:
STAR WARS:
Despite being my go to theme for years I will slow down on it. My list is of:
-Trouble on Tatooine;
and maybe the new Tie.

Lordmoral

Another one for 2021:
Modular: 
-102718 Police Station (This might even be my first Creator Modular outside Ninjago City. I was planning to expand one regular police station that I already own but I'll get this instead and figure something with the other one. I hope there is a school next).

Lordmoral

All in all, I may b3 interested to buy the Chinese Spring Lantern Festival as it is compatible with the modular system, I'll need to meassure where to incorporate it and as for the new Road Plates I think I'll buy at least x2 to test if it serves as a bridge in the regular baseplate system.

2021 Monkey Kid sets have been revealed anf voy does set# 80024 The Legendary Fruit Mountain is awesome and in my sights:

- 2020 AT-AT;

Saw that I want:

I placed an order on Shop LEGO so let's see what happens of:
- Extra Parts;
- AT-AT vs Tauntaunt;
- the 2017 UCS Millennium Falcon (yeah, I finally managed to buy that monster and let's hope it arrives safetly).

Lordmoral

Add another set to my Potential buying list:
- set #31120 Medieval Castle along with the Blacksmith Shop, both would look great in a small corner of my LEGO World.

Lordmoral

After seeing the recent Marver Endgame sets I also decided to add:
-Black Panther Dragon ship (two of these as I love the box art);
- Infinity Gauntlet.
-Bad Batch Shuttle (not Marvel related but still in my interest);
Have a great day to all of you.

Lordmoral

So we can add four new Jurassic World sets and while I might get them all (good figures and dino colors) I am aiming for the:
- 76940 T Rex Skeleton;
- 76942 Baryonyx Boat Escape.
The other two are:
- Stygimoloch and a Carnotaurus set. They seem to be partly based on the Jurassic World Camp Cretaceous Netflix show.

Lordmoral

So it has been a big while since my last update so here are the things that ended up happening: the order of the 2017 UCS MF has arrived and it is grand!!!!! And the Micro Fighter set arrived along with the extra parts with the Tatooine Homestead.

I bought a few sets in the Fort Buchanan military store at a discount:

Lordmoral

Well, more sets have been revealed and they are in my sights:
-City Lunar Base;
-AT-ST;
-SnowTrooper BP;
-Rebel Trooper Accessory Pack;
-Mobile Crane;
-Cement Truck;
-Friends Main Street;
-Monkey Kid Main Street

Lordmoral

Bought the following sets at Fort Buchanan PX on Puerto Rico (US):

Added the following to my collection:

Ok, the 3 recently revealed Lightyear sets look fantastic for 4+ sets, they would mix well with my Star Wars, Marvel and other sets in my LEGO World.

Lordmoral

So, it has been a big while since I last updated this thread. I have been buying the entire LEGO JWD line with the exception of the display piece as I am not so into just buying a display piece just yet. 
I have acquired a few SW sets with my latest order last week:
Republic Figther Tank (the third iteration) and the Inquisitor Scythe Transport with the goal to buy: Mando ship, Boba Throne Room, AT-TE, Justifier, Assault on Ferrix (more like assault to the wallet), Obi vs Vader (with a big VIP point spending spree) and that is just about it.

My City sets keep working up: 
Farm sets acquired so as to aid my citizens with the following in my sights: Friends Corner, Moon Base, Friends Movie Theater, Animal Rescue Adventures and a few others.

The Avatar (James Cameron) sets are great and of the current wave I am only missing the bigger two sets with plans to buy the sets from the second film which are focused on underwater action and as such will be great to enhance my underwater Savage Land.

Of the big sets well, I have to work to control myself so there may be a few which get removed:
Ideas Globe, Ideas Van Gho, Daily Bugle, Ninjago City Gardens and others.

From Marvel it is easy, since the two Shnag Chi sets are already in their way and I may drop the Eternaks from my list. 

Thanks for your time.

Lordmoral

Oh, the new 2023 City sets are great:
ATV & Otter, Penguin Slushie, Digger, Park Trackor and Gaming Truck are a must for me.

Lordmoral

The LEGO Star Wars sets have been revealed and so far I want one Tie Bomber and two 501st Specialists Battle Packs. I am making progress at catching up to the sets I haven't bought due to low funds and then the LEGO Avatar themes gets unveiled with more wonderful sets for next year. 
Ideas: The Globe and Bonsai Tree are in my sights as well.
