Sarah Posted February 29, 2016 Nah, someone probably just realized "April = Easter = eggs = dragon eggs!" and went with that. Except, of course, that Easter is March this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alsielou Posted February 29, 2016 That Starlight inn set looks like it may work well as an expandable modular building. I think a mod of it could look really good in the winter village, too! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lyichir Posted February 29, 2016 I think a mod of it could look really good in the winter village, too! Ha, that's actually a really nice idea I haven't seen mentioned elsewhere. Come to think of it, there are a lot of Elves parts that might look good in a Winter Village set... the only reason we haven't seen them used in one of the sets yet is probably just because we haven't gotten an "original" Winter Village set since the theme's debut. :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FortNerd Posted February 29, 2016 (edited) Alright team! I got Water Dragon Adventure and the Emily Jones set. My personal impressions after assembling the whole thing: - I thought I would love the adult dragon. I's very pretty, I certainly like the head, but the whole thing put together looks a bit awkward, and MORE IMPORTANTLY is a b***ch to pose and display. - Finally, I have a baby dragon and it is PERFECT <3 (* I don't own Aira's sleigh) Seriously, I adore it! It's so small! And its wings, spine and belly are actually transparent! :o Baby dragons - adult dragons 1:0 - A warning for all aspiring dragon egg owners: Don't. close. the. egg. all. the. way. OR you'll never open it again. Probably. - I want to marry whoever designs all those lovely terrain builds. Edited February 29, 2016 by FortNerd Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OmShanti Posted March 1, 2016 It's really simple to open the dragon eggs once they're closed completely, just use a fingernail or a lego crowbar to pop it open. It's disappointing to hear about the water dragon, I've really been looking forward to getting that set. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FortNerd Posted March 1, 2016 (edited) I saw that in someone's YouTube video from Legoland. I didn't realize it had baseplates! This could solve some of my displaying dilemmas, especially IF I could add a clear plastic window to keep dust away. We'll see.

Lordofdragonss Posted March 1, 2016 Ok this is one of the coolest Display cases they made. I would love to get same design for other themes! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vampirerichard Posted March 1, 2016 All the sets arrived today, so I'm having a great day. I started with The Starlight Inn, definitely my favourite. And let me tell you, it did not disappoint. The design is great, and the attention to detail is amazing. I was also surprised by the use of two types of plastic on Spark the baby dragon, he has trans red wings, spikes and belly. And I love the small printed compass tile and the printed windows. I'm sorry FortNerd, but I don't agree with you on the Water Dragon, Merina. I'm really impressed with the movements and poseability. This is, however, the first buildable figure/animal I have, so I have no comparison. But I really think the poses you can put her in are very diverse and life-like. I'll try to spread the building of the sets out over two days, but I'm afraid I can't wait and end up building 'em all today. I'll let you guys know what my opinion of the other sets is.

Velouria Posted March 1, 2016 Got the Inn too today, and my only complaint is that there isn't enough of it. I love the new compass piece, the tea pot, the little printed windows- well everything really. I'm pretty sure I will buy a second one to turn it into a more substantial building.

OmShanti Posted March 1, 2016 That display case is epic! I'm going to have to get one. Glad to hear about the water dragon set vampirerichard. I don't have many brick built creatures either, so I'm sure I'll be happy with the set. For those who have the Starlight Inn, is that a star map I see above Azari's bed? Glad to hear that the windows are printed, I was curious about that. I'm so excited for all of these sets, I don't know if I can wait until the 7th to take advantage of the points promotion.

Velouria Posted March 1, 2016 Yes, there is a little map which is a sticker; dragon configuration! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lyichir Posted March 1, 2016 My brother just realized something about set 41175 Fire Dragon's Lava Cave. It seems like the top section of the Shadow Fountain can replace the parts from the Fire Dragon's forehead and be used for the evil mask/helmet (as seen in this image) from the story!

Vorkosigan Posted March 2, 2016 Interesting note for Elves fans, in this video interview with LEGO CEO about their profit release for 2015 he mentions that "we had ourselves massive success with the introduction of LEGO Elves." http://money.cnn.com/2016/03/01/news/companies/lego-toys-sales/ So its likely that there will be more waves in 2017.

I also heard that Elves were among the most popular themes the previous year, so I also hope we are going to have more sets next year. Wonder, what the next sub-theme is going to look like?

Vampirerichard Posted March 2, 2016 Not as catchy as the previous one, but still very nice! Not as catchy no, but I like this one way more. It sounds more like a song that you could hear on, say, MTV. More pop potential, or something. FortNerd, thanx for the share. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Velouria Posted March 2, 2016 I would love a minidolls space theme! Or just a science fiction like setting. Lots of odd colors and outrageous technology, something like that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
