They might be, the spacefigs from the set comes in January, so If they show up it will be in January.

 

No, it's January or never

Never?! 

That would be a dirty move by Lego.

Did anyone see the new oval shield element used as a sign in the new modular set? It would be interesting to see it used as a castle piece.

Bricksie showed it off in his review. It has a crossbar in the back so it can be held or connected in different ways.

 

 

I guess this shield piece was introduced in the new Star Trek set

Not a new element, it originated back in 2011 in the Star Wars theme (printed, in transparent purple). Has appeared in many other themes since then (Chima, Ultra Agents, Dimensions, as well as the shield of Orion from the space CMFs), but it wasn't until this year that it appeared in grey (in the Enterprise set).

It looks like they changed the grip on the back. Not just a single handle. Now it has a crossbar.

That's just a "lightsaber blade" piece inserted through the grip (much like you can do with some other circular or ovoid shield castle shield pieces, to mount them on poles or spears or whatnot).

Ahhh I thought it was a single fixed piece. that makes sense. Thanks

By the way, someone mentioned the Black Falcon insignia on Mr. Oz's new torso in the Dreamzzz sets, but I thought I'd mention that Zoey and Izzie's new torso/leg prints could also work well in a fantasy setting (both being armored designs lacking modern features like zippers). There's also an armor pauldron piece in trans colors (trans orange, opalescent clear, trans bright green, and trans light blue) a new large fantasy sword mold in various colors (opalescent clear with a gold hilt, trans bright green with a gold hilt, trans light blue with a silver hilt, and trans pink with a black hilt), fantasy energy creatures in trans colors (trans bright green, opalescent clear, trans orange, and trans light blue) and crystal halves that can contain them in trans light blue and trans pink.

Obviously most of this is of no use for actual historic builders, but for fantasy fans a lot of this could be useful. This wave is giving me some major Elves vibes which as a huge fan of that theme, is absolutely not a bad thing!
