Those are probably parts for Outlaw Forest Den (and other BDP sets).

That is possible, maybe they just retire them after the set is out?

11370 is licenced set

How do you know it is incensed? There was one rather big set coming in January I hoped could be a Pirate set, but it could have been that one.. Do hope they continue with 1 of the classic themes get a set every year

According to leaks, 11370 is Stranger Things.

Currently there is no evidence for a 2026 castle set yet:

It seems very unlikely they let those parts stay around for a BDP Set - I´d rather say they wouldn´t have allowed those parts in BDP, if there weren´t further plans with this factions - and if it´s just a gwp.

OK, I guess we can hope for a classic retro set in March

I don't think we are getting anything. Otherwise we would have heard rumours.

It do not look very promising  With the latest Castle, Pirates and Space set retiring early as well, not a good sign

Lion Knights castle is the only retro set that sold very well.

The others didn't sell all that well. Shame ,I bought them all .

Galaxy Explorer is very underrated. Bought that one at €80. Felt like I was stealing from Lego.Mostly I have the feeling that Lego is stealing from me with their overpriced sets.( fish tank, unlicensed, no minifigs, €450!) But Galaxy Explorer : very good value for your money and very fun build.

I am hoping for a SpacePolice 1 set and a Black Knights remake.

And no, the upcoming gwp Sea Serpent does not count. It will be a disappointment because it will not have those iconic long dragon shields.

I think B-bay also sold well, but for some reason was retired early even if it was sold out sever months at the time during its shelf life

Perhaps it will have them in the end... Lets hope :)

Yes strange. It was my comeback to Lego after a long dark age. I bought it full price at a toy store. I didn't know about a Lego website and insider points.  It was an impulse buy. 

This set came out before Lego 's 90 years of play. 

Maybe we will get more retro Lego sets with its 100 years of play in 2032?

Looking at Majisto workshop gwp.... I don't think so.

I still have the original Sea Serpent.  I think it's better to buy that one secondhand at Bricklink than paying a ridiculous price for a set you actually don't want, just to get the gwp Sea Serpent.

The trick is to order a set you actually do want ;).

Only interested in classic themes: classic castle, pirates and classic space. I have limited space and money. 

Only licensed sets I own are Rivendell  ( not really a Lord of the Rings fan but this set is the most beautiful display set I have ever seen with cool minifigs,  no interest in hobbit hole and ugly black tower)

And Hector Barbossa's pirate ship ( sold the Sega controller gwp and compass to make it more affordable)

If its a GWP 1 new print is usually what we get, but maybe they can use the griffin knight as a dark knight so we can get a new shield print?

Do you think the sail will be printed or a sticker?

[Triceron]

Tarrifs messing with PAB standard parts is going to be a pain.

I'm really hoping the 4 new faction minifig parts will all get to be bestseller in NA, or else it's gonna be tough getting Krakens and Griffins, or army building Horse and Snake knights.

More likely brickbuild.

I can wait 

About the Griffin torso : that sounds like a good idea if they can use the tiny budget for the shields

January at least the spacemen are confirmed for that so hopefully the knights also. However as I have said I fear the price of the parts, noting that stops Lego from taking $4-5 for shield, torso and legs each

I expect the Griffion knight torso's and legs to be not too expensive. They're the generic one of the bunch of new Castle torso's, so will probably be used more in other sets. The shields are the elements I fear the price will be high of.

I don´t think that the legs and torsi will be much more expensive than normal ones, since they are just new prints and no new parts. The prices of the shields will probably be similar to shields we got so far already. The shields however are another story, I hope the price for the horseman shield stays the same as the other shields and same goes for the shield of the kraken knights -  snake and griffin knights shield however, I am afraid we have seen the price with the friends shield already.

Another part I am expecting to be expensiv is the kings crown from the set.

Some "money people" at Lego did not want the vending machine minifig parts to come to PAB since they are the main seller of the set and they feared it would damage sales numbers. The lovely PAB team protested and as a compromise they will come after 6 months and not the normal 4.
However in the presentation from the PAB theme they had only the Spacefigs parts so the Castlefig parts are more uncertain (are they not coming or was there simply not any space for  them on the slide).
This was confirmed during the SFW, but things can change of course.

This is just speculation from my side, but after the new info it suddenly makes more sense why some parts are so crazy expensive on PAB; some people at Lego want us to buy sets and not get the new sought after parts for cheap there.
Which is fine even it is far from a fan service (they want to make money after all), but why put them on PAB in the fist place, e.g. a $16 fox is ridicules and will only piss people off
