dr_spock Posted October 11, 2015 Friend's Party Train has the same color bike. I think it can be a let your dog unleashed and harass bikers in the park set. Chase cyclist up the statue fountain Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Klaus-Dieter Posted October 19, 2015 Very late but nevertheless here my comment: Thank you very much for the pics, whung! I adore 40221 - the set including the fountain with two possibilities for the statue on it plus too small benches, a woman, a dog and a yellow bicycle. This is a great addition to every city! The only thing you can critisize is that the benches are only four studs bright - so that only one minifigure fits on them - and that there's only that one minifigure included. An additional male fig and the female with a more appealing, new torso (e. g. one of the in the 10686 set) would make the set absolutely perfect. I really hope that this one won't be a giveaway or special limited set, but be a via S@H sold set! Klaus-Dieter Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe the statue is a meeting point for illegal cookie trafficking, that girl has a suspiciously happy face. Still don't think it belongs in seasonal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rob-ot5000 Posted October 19, 2015 (edited) I will be surprised, and disappointed, if 40221 isn't a GWP for the Brick Bank release window. Looks great, can't wait! I do agree that it hardly seems "seasonal", though if it's released Jan. 1 to coincide with the Brick Bank, I guess the date makes it "seasonal"...sort of...

Legocity2713 Posted October 31, 2015 2016 GWP Calendar courtesy of the great Hailey_Bricks from Instagram and Youtube. It contains coupons!!! It appears January to March is a free parrot April to June is 100 Free VIP points with a VIP Purchase And July to September is an exclusive Nexo Knights figure. Pretty cool. The parrot is kinda meh but the VIP Points are great. I'm also excited to see the Nexo Knight Figure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sarah Posted November 4, 2015 For someone who has gotten one of these calendars before -- other than the coupons, what does the Calendar look like. Does it have a Lego-related picture on one side and the calendar on the other like most wall calendars? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vorkosigan Posted November 4, 2015 Yes its the same style as common wall calendars. 2015 had renders of minifigures in seasonal settings. 2014 was more varied: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Legocity2713 Posted November 4, 2015 For someone who has gotten one of these calendars before -- other than the coupons, what does the Calendar look like. Does it have a Lego-related picture on one side and the calendar on the other like most wall calendars? Yeah, one flap is a rendered Lego minifigure scene and another is the actual calendar with the days in the most obvious black and white grid system. The part of the calendar containing the actual days and weeks on the grid sometimes have a fun minifigure printed onto it to mark holidays. Ex: Santa Claus on Christmas, Leprechaun on St. Patrick's Day Link to this year's calendar images on ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/LEGO-2016-CALENDAR-BRAND-NEW-5702015414678-Free-Shipping-U-s-/311475997477?hash=item48856a8b25:g:SeMAAOSwwbdWNQFY I got my calendar last year on ebay for about $8 to $12 dollars. Once it becomes more readily available the price will definitely drop from its current one listing of $22. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
temes Posted November 5, 2015 Do you think there will be a completely new Winter Village set next year, re-design of some old set or nothing? I read from somewhere that a brand new set was designed this year, but it couldn't be released because of factory schedule or something like that, and TLC decided to release a Toy Shop re-design instead, is there any truth in that?

BlockLogo Posted November 24, 2015 It looks like we're not getting more seasonal 8x8 vignettes in 2016. Animal themed ones instead, and I guess this would be the Valentine's Day one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sven F Posted November 24, 2015 Bummer of the year. I thought the vignettes were a real sales winner. Those animals drag on the shelves for over a year here, nobody wants them. Maybe they'll have both? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Robert8 Posted November 24, 2015 Well... we knew the vignettes were hard to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DarrellBricker Posted November 25, 2015 I really liked the Vignettes, for the most part. I am sad that this is not something they will continue to do for 2016 ... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BlockLogo Posted November 25, 2015 Maybe for 2017 again. Maybe they woulda become too repetitive two years in a row... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
just2good Posted November 25, 2015 It seems like they switch it up every other year. We had those sweet "scenes" in 2013, then animals in 2014, then scenes in 2015, then animals in 2016. I don't care for the animal ones, and I'm not sure other people do, either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rob-ot5000 Posted November 25, 2015 Nope, sure don't. Though I bought five reindeer on sale last year, strictly for parts. Loved the vignettes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KCMatze Posted November 27, 2015 Vignettes are the way for me. Those really bring the feeling they should with very limited space and parts. Love them. Animals are really boring. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sven F Posted November 27, 2015 Little Timmy and his nostalgic mom first, AFOLS on the backburner. We really need to be put in our place sometimes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blue_Bird Posted November 27, 2015 Love the vignettes, I only have Santa's Visit but plan on collecting the rest. The animals ones are ok, not my favorite but they're cute too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vorkosigan Posted November 27, 2015 Perhaps they are alternating between vignettes and animals. I also wonder if the freebies for Christmas could be minifig vignettes next year, as they were last year. In a parallel fashion to how we got minifigure vignettes for purchase this year, but non-minifig scale freebies (train and gingerbread house). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OmShanti Posted December 16, 2015 Love the vignettes, I only have Santa's Visit but plan on collecting the rest.

Legocity2713 Posted December 16, 2015 Santa's visit was the best parts pack, but it felt a little cluttered. Best Christmas/winter display is definitely Winter Fun. Best vignette is probably a tie between the first one (Valentine's) and the last 2 (Christmas) Just my two cents to wrap up the year before we get these awful animal things.
