Lyichir Posted April 12, 2018 28 minutes ago, Euphorine said: I buy a lot of amulets to put them on all my Emily, even on the old sets.. And indeed, it probably depends on the machine and the distribution of paint. Sometimes it's flat, sometimes curved. I actually think the amulet piece is dual-molded, not painted. Looking at my own copies the newer ones do seem a little different, though it's a minor change. Speaking of amulets, at some point I want to get ahold of Ursula from one of last year's Disney Princess sets. She has what seems to be a Titanium Metallic amulet with a yellow core, which would be super cool to use for a custom Elves character. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FortNerd Posted April 13, 2018 If anyone wants an even simpler mod for the Lion's mane, here's what I came up with (demonstrated here on the dragon head; I will post pics of my Lion once I get a bit of daylight tomorrow.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HOLDER color TR.FL.REDORA EUR 0,17 on LEGO Shop Thanks, this is even better! It didn't occur to me to use them because I don't have any Nexo sets. Here is my modded Lion and Wind Dragon. I gave them wings from the 2016 dragon sets to keep the look consistent. I didn't buy the original wind and fire dragon sets, because I didn't like how they looked, now I have a full set :) Edited April 15, 2018 by FortNerd Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lyichir Posted April 22, 2018 Pictures here (since they aren't watermarked or anything): https://www.radiokontrol.it/in-mattoncini-di-plastica-lego-41195/product/10030522https://www.radiokontrol.it/in-mattoncini-di-plastica-lego-41196/product/10030523 The Elvenstar tree has all of the diamond pieces unprinted, which should be a boon to MOCists. The set with Noctura's carriage includes a little workshop section as well. There seem to be two new small bats between the two sets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MandyNeko Posted April 22, 2018 Oh I love the Elvenstar treehouse. Having missed out on the Treetop Hideaway, this is a must-buy. Looks fantastic, too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kim-Kwang-Seok Posted April 22, 2018 Large quantity of my Lego budget has ran into Elves, since I started to respect the animal builds. Wolf is a must buy for sure! - unfortunate though that (like the Lion) it doesn't has any teeth (dragon molds have teeth) - I think Noctura doesn't come with her cape in this set; which is also a blow!

rodiziorobs Posted April 23, 2018 So far I have held out on buying Noctura's tower--I haven't seen a good discount yet, and after seeing it in person and it looked a little slight for the price. I may not regret it, though--depending on the price of these two, I can still get Noctura along with some sets that so far look Aces. I really hope this isn't the end of Elves, since it has been one of the most consistently appealing and well-designed themes ever; even if I haven't bought every set, I have liked most of them.

So amazing! There's a lot more inside the Elvenstar Tree than I expected. It looks like the workshop area in the Emily vs. Noctura set also can connect to the side of Noctura's tower to expand it!

Fenghuang0296 Posted April 23, 2018 Oh, yes yes yes. These are both so cool! I think this is going to be one of those rare occasions where I collect every set in a theme. The Elvenstar Tree is even better than I thought it would be, which is saying something. And I am so expanding the 'Shadow World' area of the Elvendale part of my city layout. Because I want to put both the carriage and that workshop area into it - can anyone tell whether it attaches to the left or the right of Noctura's Tower? I'm inclined to say left based on the way it sort of slants . . Full props for these sets! Any word on a release date? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It can attach to either side—the slant is so that it won't collide with the overhanging branch on the right side of Noctura's Tower. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lordofdragonss Posted April 24, 2018 Elvenstar tree has just one thing I hate - NOT ENOUGH PLACE for minifigures to stand! I love all details like flipable beds, training place and even that portal with batapult :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
