About this Video:
LEGO Creator Expert UCS Ghostbusters Ecto-1 (10274)
Rumoured for 2021
This has a price tag of $199 USD already which puts it squarely in the UCS price range
with Ghostbusters: Afterlife arriving in March 2021, this would make sense as the Ghostbuster have been rumoured

LEGO Looney Tunes Collectible Minifigures
Rumoured for 2021
This one has come out of nowhere but BrickFanatics are reporting that one of the collectible series’ for next year will feature the Looney Tunes.
I hope so as this would be a great collaboration and I’m a big Looney Tunes fan!
If it is, let’s hope we see some other crossovers to this theme too!

LEGO Creator Winter Village Elf Clubhouse (10275) Rumoured for 2020
I’ve not personally collected any winter sets as much as i’d love to.
But this seems to have credibility and would fit with the Toy Workshop and Santa’s Workshops that were previously released.
It’s a charming idea.

LEGO 10276 Colosseum
Rumoured for 2020
Brickfanatics picked this up from a Eurobricks post.
9k+ pieces and is arriving in November
But could this have been teased in plain site by LEGO Already?
Perhaps on the Fiat 500 box?

Official LEGO Statement
The LEGO Technic Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey was designed to highlight the important role the aircraft plays in search and rescue efforts. While the set clearly depicts how a rescue version of the plane might look, the aircraft is only used by the military. We have a long-standing policy not to create sets which feature real military vehicles, so it has been decided not to proceed with the launch of this product.

We appreciate that some fans who were looking forward to this set may be disappointed, but we believe it’s important to ensure that we uphold our brand values.

There are going to be some stores that have already received stock but LEGO Stores should never receive stock. Our sales teams have been in touch with their customers as well. I would expect a few mom and pop type shops to receive a shipment but larger retailers will be less likely.
