Ninja buildwise was very similar to castle of the era

This too.  I just don’t understand why people thinking Ninja is not part of Castle family as it’s only a sub theme based on Japanese castles. I jsut can’t see Ninja as its own theme.

Its the autumn garden and not a medieval garden😅

It's a timber-framed house, so a nod towards medieval, but nothing else. Way off minifigure scale, although we expected that anyway.

Gnome or dwarf-sized (the cottage). The framing of the garden looks a bit ramshackle, but has a bunch of the more recent released elements. The use of the dark brown "hay'" piece at another angle gives a nice steep roof structure. Hadn't thought of doing it this way. Good use of new plant elements in those trees. The ground feels a bit bare, and I wonder why LEGO didn't include some printed 1x2 fish tiles in the stream/pond, but overall I think the set is cute-looking.

Indeed...Gnome/dwarf and cute little cottage, but calling it medieval would be a far stretch.
Two new prints for the little bird though, and very nice foliage parts - especially for the willow. I may get it as a part pack...

Yes the 2 new printed birds will be great and new plant pieces are always welcome.  Next year will be an expensive PAB year for me that's for sure.

Bummer. Really disappointing. They could have at least done it minifig scale. Oh well.

I'm so tired of all the display only sets, too many boring sets nowadays.

[Roebuck]

The yellow feather plume is in the set, so that is nice to get in another set

No new castle minifig. So a dissapointment yes

It's not even a castle set so what did you think was going to be in the set?

And none of the previous gardens had figs. This is on the level of complaining a cmf doesn't come with a castle build.

Because it was called medieval garden...

A consumer has every right to complain, especially with expensive luxury products

When you posted your complaint about no minifig,  the pic was already out and we knew it wasn't a medieval set was my point.

Ok, than I have misunderstood it. I thought we were getting a new castle set

Well, yes. If the complaint is a valid one. Complaining your lawn mower is bad at cutting grass is a valid complaint. Complaining it doesn't play music, kinda less so.

And complaining about a set from the Garden series lacks figs is kinda the latter.

The problems with taking leaks as gospel rears it's ugly head again. Don't believe the hype!

[GreenhouseBricker]

Does anyone else think Lego might be working on some sort of Kraken set(s)? The BDP was littered with almost a dozen beautiful designs that were all passed on. There were lots of different ships and castles. Is it possible we could see a set coming in the next year? I don't want to get my hopes up but I think the Lego community would like to see more of this faction and I would love it if we got a set or even a small wave of sets. Especially since they already have the printed elements in production and it as been shown to be popular from the result of the Ideas fan vote.

[Black Falcon]

I don´t think that there are any plans to include the krakens or griffins in any other official set aside from the BDP. I just don´t think that they will reuse them outsiide of the Minifigure Prize Machine and if they would be going to do a Castle Set it will be based on old factions IMO.

We need Black Knights with their oval wyvern shields come back !

To quote Daenerys Targaryen in GoT season 2 : where are my dragons !!!!!

Bummer, I was going to get the medieval garden as a bridge set between the lion knights castle and the medieval market.
