    New Rumored Pirate Set in July 2023

    Eldorado for sure, since it was the main fortress released along with BSB. :)

    New Rumored Pirate Set in July 2023

    I am hoping euther for a Trading Post redesign with small trading ship or a Bluecoats galleon. But honestly, Trading post or some port would be better, since the newest BSB is armless (without serious moding). It would be unfair to battle the ship without cannons (place to put them) ;)
  3. Its just posted as a "rumor" on IG. Acording to that, it is set 10320, 18+ with 2509 pcs weirldy priced as 214,99 USD. Only info available besides those numbers is that it should be under ICONS theme. PErhaps some imperial ship or a Port?

    I also thought that its Orthanc, but it could be Minas Morgul or even Cirith Ungol, since being the Orthanc would be serious geographic mistake.

    Reviews are out... Its funny how all those "main" channels drop the review video at the same time :D Besides Ashnflash and Solid Bricks Studio, all of them are quite annoying. Especially Emosaurus :D

    I would buy such set :D But then I would be happier to buy Rivendell as a whole as it is right now :) BTW: comparison to HP Castle segments is out of place, not just for the reasons mentioned above, but also that those segments in HP line arent as impressive design-vise, not to mention that we will. probably get multiple same characters (Gazebo scene with Arwen and Aragorn, possibly Elrond; Council scene with Gimli, Legolas, Boromir and frankly most of the Fellowship if not all + Elrond. Then Study/tower scene with again Elrond and Gandalf, possibly Bilbo and Frodo... Ufff thank you but no thank you :) I was thinking about all those nitpicks and also the price discussion and came to conclusion... To me, it is must buy, but I can wait for a little while since the GWP isn't desirable for me... It is still the most beautiful set Lego ever released, even though there are some things I don't quite like (aside from the price)... To me, it would be great for 450 USD, and without any stickers. Then I wouldn't say a thing. But then, we are not living in a perfect world arent we? :D

    Hogwarts castle is really nice-looking display piece. But I personally don't like the open back and I wouldn't enjoy stacking a pile of tan bricks... It has a ton of small pieces and nothing interesting frankly...but I get that many fans love it. I would also like Rivendell for 400 USD. I don't like the price one bit. There will be discount at some point, at least from secondary market :)

    You are comparing sets you bought in a discount with set for the retail price? :D Be at least fair. You can compare it to the Hogwarts Express or Razor Crest, both of them are recent sets for the same price point. Ninjago city sets are good for the price-per-part ratio, but honestly? NCG is a huge disappointment for me design-wise. 500 USD is a lot of money, but then, it will be possible to buy it outside the Lego shop with a significant discount - I am sure of it.

    It could be badged as ICONS same as Rivendell. My point is that Bag end is possible and if Lego makes more sets from Middle-earth then its more or less probable, since it is important location. Whether they include characters from The Hobbit or LotR is debatable, and as I said, from my point of view, it depends on scale. There is only few LotR characters that make sense to be included. On the other hand, there are handfull of characters from the Hobbit that fits in here. Either way, I believe that Bag end will be reinteoduced…

    That depends on the scale of the set. As D2C I would expect all Thorins company + Bilbo and Gandalf (ergo 15 figs in total). As a smaller version playset (similar to the last one) I guess they include just Bilbo, Frodo, Sam and Gandalf possibly with horse or cart.

    I respectfully disagree. I think everything is possible :) considering Bag end as a one of the most iconic location, i strongly believe, that IF Lego decide to continue producing LotR sets, we get Bag end at some point.

    Thats way too small. At least for me, that doesnt do Minas Tirith justice regardless how good design it is.

    You're right, but then it's more like Helm's deep set, back in 2012. 2-3 levels and a small tower, sparse interior, probably only a Citadel and ramparts. That is not what I would like to see. But that's just me :) If those sets aspire to be compatible with each other (meaning Rivendell scale), it's impossible to make Minas Tirith at a reasonable price point. It depends on everyone's taste. If TLG decides to go with the 2012-2013 approach, and make some playsets - then ok. I will buy them but then rebuild them in something more substantial. Personally, I feel (and hope) they chose a different approach since this theme deserves large-scale location sets, along with minifig packs and smaller dioramas...

    Minas Tirith would be probably microscale, so ton of white and bley bricks with possibly few figs for display. Minifig compatible scale is nonsense, even 1000-1500 USD pricepoint wouldnt be enough. Helms deep is easier for translation into lego bricks as large D2C set, maintaining the Rivendell price. Lothlorien would be nice, but it would be probably enough to make it as a smaller set with Galadriel, Celeborn, Haldir and some members of the Fellowship… Bag End would be also nice as D2C as a closing set which ties all story together ;)

    I consider Helms deep more probable than Minas Tirith. I can see them (TLG) nake a decent D2C 18+ Helms deep in 350-400 USD price point with around 20 figs including 1 horse. As for Minas Tirith, its more likely to be either microscale with Gondorian soldier / Citadel guard and Aragorn as a King or as a part of the battlememts - Gate along with part of the wall, Grond and few attackers and defenders. It would be nice to get one big set a year and meanwhile some smaller sets to fill the gaps between them. Overall I consider this theme more adult and collectible like rather than a playset thing. I partially understand and agree with you, but then again, this set seems to be more of a collectible thing aimed for adults and core fans. Those sets back in 2012-2013 was more focused on play aspects. For some resson it was cut down before they cozld complete the story. Maybe this time the whole concept would be better.
