I’ve seen both sides of the argument and both are valid points.
I believe the most projects that went on to pass a particular review stage is three which was from the First 2019 Review Stage.

Some of the new sets that LEGO has recently released are the LEGO Star Wars Helmets and the first one I want to take a look at is the Boba Fett Helmet (75277). It has 625 pieces and retails for $59.99. It seems to be pretty popular right now as it is already on backorder status as of this writing. The contents of the box include five numbered bags and the instructions.
The official images of the upcoming LEGO Star Wars May the 4th Death Star Battle II (40407) has reportedly been uploaded to LEGO Shop@Home with details of the set. It has 235 pieces and you can get it for free from May 1-4 with purchases of $75 or more, while supplies last.
The set features an unfinished Death Star II along with microbuilds of an A-wing and a TIE Interceptor. It also includes a printed tile of the LEGO Star Wars 2020 logo.
