Bah, I already pulled the trigger on Optimus Prime, thinking he'd sell out, and now I'm seeing most of the other sets I want aren't available until August. Now I gotta figure out what to buy just for this GWP...probably something with cool windscreens or new mech joints. Or maybe I should just get some Friends sets since that's obviously the best theme right now. 😁

Same here.

I was gonna get a couple Orchids when those came back on the store a couple days ago, but yesterday they were sold out again.  I'll have to keep refreshing to see what's still in stock by the time the new GWP rolls around...

Awesome.  Love the torso.  Hope we get a blue and black version at some point.  With the brown hat and the feathers.  Then make a green version of the peasant torso in 10305.  Put it all in a 3 in 1 forestmen set that allows you to build the three remaining forestmen building sets.  I would buy at least 10 of those.  And that’s not an exaggeration.

Oh, that review is fantastic! And watching the speed build in slow motion helped me to figure out the specifics I needed to correct the remaining errors in my own copy of your stud.io file.

I'm glad to see there's a ladder inside — I figured there might be but couldn't tell for sure in any of the official pics we've seen. The completed structure also appears to be plenty sturdy in spite of it complexity, and that the foliage is spread out nicely from all angles (whether the model is open or closed). And the interior is reasonably spacious for the model's size — though it is a shame that there are no clips inside to hang the forestwoman's sword from like there was for the forestman's sword in the original set.

I'm excited to play around with some of the building techniques from this set, and perhaps try and update some of the other classic Forestmen sets to fit this modernized style! I'm sure others will be trying the same thing, possibly more successfully than I will, but I still enjoy that sort of experimentation for its own sake.

I'm not sure what the chances of getting blue and black versions of this forestman torso would be, but even if we don't end up getting any, you could probably modify the red version to create a black version just by filling in the red portions with some type of black ink. And I'm sure there are plenty of folks in the Minifig Customization Workshop subforum who'd eagerly recreate these graphics for use as waterslide decals in any color of your choice. Fingers crossed that we will in fact get more "official" forest people torsos, though!

A forestmen-themed Creator 3-in-1 set would be AMAZING, honestly — after all, the theme has had loads of treehouse sets over the years, and forest hideouts would have similar appeal while also standing out nicely from more modern treehouse designs from themes like Friends and Creator 3-in-1.

That said, I suspect a Creator 3-in-1 forest hideout or stronghold would probably use shades of brown for the tree bark and branches (and possibly more varied shades of grey and green for stone and foliage elements), since they'd be targeted more towards kids who have fewer nostalgia-driven expectations for the set's colors and motifs (unlike this GWP, which is specifically being marketed as a celebration of a specific set from LEGO's 90-year history).

Are both minifigs heads unique or its on some other sets?

The forestman's head is originally from the Rocket Stunt Bike set, and was also used for one of the Black Falcon knights from the Castle in the Forest! The forestwoman's head features a much more generic face print that's appeared in numerous sets and themes over the past dozen years or so.

It looks great, I am looking forward to midnight, to order Ferrari with this gwp!

I saw somewhere on instagram, I think it was hoth bricks, that there should also be restock of 40450 gwp along this one. Is it true or not?

They changed the price threshold in the US. It's now $209.

Yeah, my bad... that's the page Duck Duck Go took me to when I searched for the set number.

[R0Sch]

Here is the updated Studio file with everything according to part list (except the minifig torsos and heads, which are new).
40567_Forest_Hideout.io

[iragm]

Looks like the site is updated with some stuff.  Several of the parts are still not on PAB - sadly, no torsos or hats yet.  Make sure to turn on show out of stock.

Former Lego designer Tiago Catarino has a review of it up as well:
 

This review also mentions that apparently this GWP will be available twice—first from June 15th to June 22nd, and again from August 2nd to August 14th. This might be welcome news for people who don't have $150 worth of sets on their wish list right now, and may even overlap with the release of the larger D2C castle. Knowing that second release date has me personally reconsidering buying right away, since most of the sets on my wish list (mostly Monkie Kid and Ninjago) are August releases in my country.

Is there anywhere else that confirms the August release?

I'm in this same boat but don't really want to take the chances of passing up the June GWP if somehow this August one ends up being wrong.  This guy is a former designer so we should be able to trust this information, right?

He's reporting when the GWP will be available, and he likely will have been told by LEGO along with the press kit that came with the review set.

Promobricks has said that it's an August release.

And the 90th anniversary is in August.

So you combine all three together and it points towards an August release, but nothing is confirmed until LEGO confirms it.

[brimbolet]

I'd rather buy something again in August than take any chances in missing this awesome GWP.

With all the forestmen related parts currently in production I really hope we'll get at least one medium sized Creator set, though perhaps not a remake this time around but a civilian setting/medieval boat... , which could accompany the 90th anniversary castle.

[R0Sch]

I also wonder if the second release in August is true, since I don't want to visit the Store tomorrow just to get a second one. I'd rather wait for the 10305 release to get another one.

[Peter1999]

it is online on eu shop, but not see it added to cart? is this normal?

[unclejeffie]

give it time, I'm refreshing the cart until it says its in it

 

[sahidko]

The page is soooo slow. :D

[neithan]

I am also refreshing my cart constantly.^^

[GeoBrick]

No wonder it doesn't add up. Too many brickclicks. 

[unclejeffie]

hardest GWP to get ever :D 

[Chilis]

It does not add to the cart!!

[GeoBrick]

I've noticed in the past GWP's don't get added right after midnight of the day they're valid with a purchase.
Probably in a couple hours it will work just fine.
