makoy Posted December 30, 2016 I like these vignettes. The style for 2017 seems to include several plates that has smaller builds on them? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Legocity2713 Posted December 30, 2016 (edited) Since this is pretty much the "catch-all" thread each year for seasonal stuff as well as Lego store exclusives and promos... Here are some photos of the upcoming year of the Rooster set and keeping with the trend of the polybag micro Mini Cooper and VW Camper Van, here is a miniaturized VW Beetle set which will probably be given away in Lego Stores and S@H.

Freakshow Posted January 1, 2017 Ooo I like the rooster and the VW! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nexo Bricks Posted January 1, 2017 The VW looks great! I like it better than the RV and the Mini Cooper polybags so far. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Klaus-Dieter Posted January 4, 2017 Thank you all very much for the pics! The Valentine Scene as well as the Easter Scene are looking brilliant! It was a good decision of TLG to come back with minifig scale and City compatible seasonal sets this year! And I do hope that we'll get some more amazing sets of this kind this year - beach scene, fall scene and Christmas scene would be excellent! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LegoLeroy Posted January 21, 2017 Today, I went with my wife to the LEGO store and we got this. On the back of the instructions we found this. This year's Halloween set. Looks awesome! Can't wait. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VaderFan2187 Posted January 21, 2017 Love the Valentine and Easter sets. Interesting how the Halloween dude uses Cole from Ninjago's old head. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Legocity2713 Posted January 21, 2017 Those gates! That pumpkin head! The Halloween one is absolute perfection for display! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LegoLeroy Posted January 21, 2017 It appears that through the gates is supposed to be some sort of haunted house against an orange sky or something. I like that it has three dimensional depth past the gates. Definitely a must have. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NewTown Posted January 21, 2017 The Halloween and Easter sets do nothing for me but I bought the Valentines set and it is great! Added it into a park in my town with a few mods. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kelceycoe Posted January 21, 2017 About time there's a Halloween seasonal set worth having. I purposely missed out on last years and the year's before was just stupid. Seems the FRIENDS Halloween sets in the European magazine has fared better than the official sets. I also love the Valentine and Easter sets for this year but honestly enough is enough. I might get the Easter set if there are any left next week but we could use new ideas rather than just rehashes of older sets. I'm guessing the butler in the Halloween set is just a generic butler but wonder if he is somehow the basis for the Haunted House butler or even Lord Vampire before he became a vampire?

DangAndBlast Posted January 21, 2017 Seeing all the complaints about a picnic in February being unrealistic... It was 82°F in Houston, Texas yesterday. Pushing too *warm* for a pleasant picnic. So I suppose maybe mid February is a bit too late in the year for a nice picnic So glad they're back to vignettes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Klaus-Dieter Posted January 22, 2017 Thank you vey much for the pic, LegoLeroy! I'm absolutely no Halloween fan, but do have to admit that this Halloween set looks very well designed! But I don't know if I'll buy it or not. The only thing I'm surprised about and even a bit disappointed is that there for sure won't be any summer and Thanksgiving sets. Because since they are located in the year before Halloween, TLG would for sure even release them before and even have the pics of them earlier on the instructions of the Easter set etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

parsom Posted January 23, 2017 I would like to see other seasonal sets. There is a lot of wasted potential. And some of this occasions are definitely more important than Valentines. For example: April Fools' Day Children's Day - in many countries in June Mother's Day - in most countries around May Father's Day - May/June International Workers' Day or Labor Day (May or September) And start of summer vacations - mostly in June/July. For children one of the most important days in the year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
