Killian Posted June 20, 2017 I feel like we've had a lot of dragons in Lego in recent years, I'd like next year's Lego Elves story to have the elves rescuing Unicorns from Ragana, or maybe some dark elves... Lego could easily make a unicorn horn piece that could fit in the hole in the forehead of their existing horse design. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FortNerd Posted June 21, 2017 I'd love unicorns, but I'd prefer them to be a new mold, just because. They'd need to have cuter, rounder heads, tiny, not full sized wings and be slightly larger than the Palace Pets pony mold. And obviously they'd need to be bright, pastel colors, maybe dual molded with trans colors for wings, mane and/or horn, like the dragon babies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh, I saw that image 1'5 year ago on DeviantArt :) Nice concept. However, Ragana and Kronan are actually dark elves, and I love their design :) Now there's elves, dragons and goblins, it seems that here's clasical fantasy line :) What about dwarves next year? There might be amazing crystal caves and underground castles, axes and beards! =) Also I would like to see new mounts, something like rideable volwes (as in Elfquest) or Chocobo from Final Fantasy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I need to start work on it at some point. And I've given my Goblins some Wargs until something better comes along Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also, the idea of a huge crystal cave sounds great, looking forward to pictures when you finish. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FortNerd Posted June 22, 2017 A crystal cave was what I was looking forward to when the last year's summer set was announced. What we got instead didn't look much like one :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheGlynreaper Posted July 11, 2017 other than the 1st wave from year 1 where I missed out on around 3-4 sets I have the entire collections up to date , I built Rosalyns healing hideout the other day and it was better and bigger then I thought it would be Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheGlynreaper Posted July 19, 2017 I just bought breakout from the goblin kings fortress along with azari and the goblin forest escape yesterday to complete the whole set both fantastic sets with some great play features I especially love the chomping plants part of the fortress, I also love playing with the drawbridge its crazy how even though the theme is only 3yrs old it already has an immense amount of characters Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It could make a fun challenge to figure out which pieces are needed to build a larger version of the crystal cave than what the Goblin King's Evil Dragon set comes with.

Hythonia Posted July 30, 2017 I don't know if this is everywhere, by my local Walmart has put a few of the 2017 sets on clearance. The Goblin Village was only $25! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Iria Posted August 2, 2017 We sure have given a lot of beautiful sets in the Elves line. My biggest problem is choosing which ones to display in my Lego corner! I'm still missing most of this years sets. I finally picked up the Queen Dragon Rescue set . I love how long Ragana's castle is. And wow is that white dragon big even compared to my modified Skyra castle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marishka Posted August 4, 2017 Yeah, I've got treetop hideaway! It was luck to find it on sale in one on-line store. So last set I want for my collection is Skyra's Castle.

The Goblin Village was only $25! Thanks for the heads up! Unfortunately only some Walmarts in my area marked it down this far...and according to BrickSeek they are all out of stock. Some others in the area have it for $53 but that's not quite the same now, is it? On my quest to find this, I discovered that the same stores had marked down Ragana's Castle to $49 (!)...a few weeks ago, so now they're all out of stock.* YMMV, but it's worth looking into if you are still in the market for those sets. I wish I had taken better notes when the Dragon Sanctuary and Secret Market were retiring--I will probably never get those now because the aftermarket prices are so outrageous. FYI the SKUs for the sets are: 55225091 for the Goblin Village 52440973 for Ragana's Castle Happy Hunting! *after fruitless BrickSeek searching anywhere within an hour of where I live, I found one on eBay, actually for less since there was no sales tax.

Digger of Bricks Posted August 4, 2017 Is everyone pretty sure this will be the theme's final year? I know that it has probably run its obligatory three years, so if it has not exceeded Lego's expectations, it probably will end. If so, what would Lego perhaps have in store as a successor for a girl's action theme? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

While I hope it's not the end of Elves, if it is I expect they'll let the Super Hero Girls theme do the heavy lifting for awhile. After that--and after Elves has been laid to rest for a year or two--I expect a return to high fantasy but with Fairies instead. Wings instead of ears, flowy dresses, etc. Sets built similar to the Ant-Man set, with life-size brick-built objects, but Fairy-ized (ie a home built inside a flower, etc). This is all speculation; I know nothing. I have gone on record before saying I would love a Friends-in-Space theme, but I don't think the sci-fi would appeal to the target demographic as well as fantasy themes, so I'd say its less likely, at least for now.

alsielou Posted August 4, 2017 Oh there would be much sadness in our house if the Elves line were to finish. It is the favourite theme of our daughters for sure, and in fact my younger daughter was resisting Lego until ahe received the water dragon set and absolutely loved it. I think another high fantasy line could be compatible. My girls aren't at all interested in the super heroes girl sets so would have to be content with Friends and city.

Marishka Posted August 8, 2017 Oh closing this theme would be trouble for me :( I don't know which other theme is enough intresting for my taste. Some Ninjago sets, espesially from the movie, are awesome, but I would to buy only fantasy-like ones. Or, if once I'll get some sci-fi stuff, I'll rebuild it in elven style :) Anyway, this three years made me fan of this series and in case of bad news I'll continue building and making my own story, so if anyone want to make some fan project I would be glad to participate! Btw here's my armored Aira, just to roughly estimate how this may look :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
