Cwetqo Posted April 26, 2017 AFAIK there will be no special unveiling event, there will be just press release. About the picture: I'm not moderator on Eurobricks, so I can not say if you need to remove it or not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It means that the Lego company now (as at this moment) sees the Fairground as an official theme, just as Modulars and Seasonal sets, so basically yes :D Just now, Cwetqo said: AFAIK there will be no special unveiling event, there will be just press release.

Lyichir Posted April 26, 2017 Kind of surprising that this seems to reuse the crown from the "King Pig" in the Angry Birds theme. That's the kind of part that I might otherwise have presumed to be IP locked. Altogether this set looks great, and I can't wait to get further details.

I'm kinda annoyed though that the animals are positioned like there's a sixth animal hiding between the frog and elephant... Shame that there isn't a soundbrick though...

Hoth Rebel Posted April 27, 2017 Alright, more pieces than the Ferris Wheel and the same price (which should be €190 here) so that's actually pretty cool. I wonder if they don't mention the 2014 Fairground set in the Press Release because it's retired or because it's not really matching with this and the Ferris Wheel.

Withacee Posted April 27, 2017 We love it. Ours as soon as it is released. Does that look like a new angled 2x3 tile in tan, on the carousel floor? Visible below the frog and the other animals. I don't recognise it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm looking at this piece on my phone and can't see it all too clearly, but me it just looks like a SNOT build with inverted slope bricks, not tiles.
