In the past years, there had - with one exception - Always been one huge animal inside the City theme: 2021: elephant, 2022: -, 2023: black-white whale, 2024: gorilla

Thanks for the news! A new castle (even when only in the Creator 3 in 1 theme) sounds good. But I'm disappointed that we don't get some of the missing Classic Castle factions (esp. the ones of which tumblers but regrettably no torsos were included in the huge Lion Knights Castle).

Hopefully the City summer wave won't only offer a recolored wolf, a pigeon and maybe a wolf baby - there should be at least one big animal (like a grey whale), too!

Thanks for the news! The Bulldozer looks great. In contrast, I'm absolutely disappointed about the outcome of the City Tower. I wish back the summer 2023 wave when we got (really ocerpriced, but) many different and amazing civilian buildings!

Thanks for the news! Do you think that the UCS Jango Fett's Slave I is in scale with the 75333? If there wasn't the long rumored UT-AT, I'd be very disappointed.

According to a common source: 60473 The City Tower (D2C) - June release Since there won't be any civilian set (which is really disappointing) in this year's regular summer wave, this is really good news! 👍 Since it's "still only" inside the City (and not the Icons) theme, I wouldn't await too much: Maybe two shops on the first floor, a doctor's office and a regular office on the second floor, apartments on the third and fourth floor and a TV news studio on the fifth floor? And the base being 16x32 studs including sidewalk and a small park? And there could be around ten minifigs? What do you think?

I guess that Lego designed a more modern train where the snowplow is already integrated in the front of the engine (and so doesn't need an extra waggon) - like this one. 

I definately agree. Yes, I'm counting on a snowplow, too. Thanks for the news! An Arctic train sounds great - it's something fresh which we haven't had before. I hope it'll be a mixture of cargo train and passenger train containing an engine with snowplow, a passenger waggon, a container waggon with Arctic explorer stuff and a flatbed waggon with an Arctic explorer vehicle. What do you wish and think it'll include? If done well, it would for sure fit very well in the Winter Village, too.

Yes, they're bandits. But originally the Wolfpack had their own tower with bridge. So why shouldn't they get something similar now, too?

As addition, I could very well see some sort of "one theme in one set" set like they did with the harbor this year: Airport: medium sized passenger plane (only six studs wide), freight helicopter, forklift, transport vehicle, mobile stairs, tower, airport building Plus with the Scrapyard, Lego maybe shows us that they could release more specialized sets in the future, too. So there could also be some more random things like a garage (for parking cars), a car factory, a chocolate factory, a building-up a solar power plant etc., don't you think?

Thanks for the news! A new castle sounds great! 👍 I guess we'll see a new faction or it will be the castle of the Wolfpack. I personally can't imagine it to be Lion Knights or Black Falcons based. And the haunted house could be interesting, too. Do you think it could be fairground based (so with a cashpoint)?

As much a I would like new and more different and more seperate sold Trains sets, I fear that this won't happen (already) in 2025. Since these wild animal based sets have been selling very well, I bet that we'll see one more wild animal theme in summer - either outback, savannah or mountain/forest. Additionally I count on some nice new locations and buildings based on shopping, living, sports and recreation (like in summer 2023): some shops, a gym, a public swimming pool and a camping site, maybe?

This year's (bad) Winter Village set was revealed firstly about one week before its release. So I fear that Lego will hold this trend with future exclusive (especially unlicensed) sets, too. So I guess the reveal of the Renegade will be around Christmas and sadly not much earlier.

I fear that you are right. But ... 1. If Lego already had gotten up after one try in the past, the company wouldn't exist these days anymore. They know now that retro sets with elements of nostalgic sets of the past (Lion Knights' Castle, Medieval Town Square) work most of the time better that a more or less replicia of the original set. So if they e. g. made a re-design of the Caribbean Clipper, but in the size of the Imperial Flagship, I bet that this set would sell very well. 2. The Endurance is not System scale and is only for displaying (in a showcase). Of course you can do this with a System scale Pirates theme based ship, too, and for sure some people would do. But the target audience here would mainly be people who then would use the ship for putting it into a Pirates layout or giving it to their kids for playing. So no, I don't think that (the sales numbers of) The Endurance will take influence on a Pirates theme based System scale ship. Yes, I agree.

Thanks for the news! Even when it will be "only" a Creator 3 in 1 set, a new Castle set for 2025 sounds great! Due to the massive inflation over the passt years, I fear that the size and number of bricks and minifigs won't be much more than in the previous Creator 3 in 1 castle. Which concerns the minifigure collection: Since it seems very likely that we'll see a tournament as Icons set in 2026, I could well imagine that Lego includes already (one of) the there included new faction(s) in this new Castle. Anyway, I don't think that the Creator 3 in 1 set will be Black Falcons or Lion Knights based, since Lego wants AFOLs to buy it, too (even if it primary will be JFOLs oriented).
