Velouria

Allow me to quote Just2good's post! I have this set, and the drawing-board and bird stand are lovely, but I didn't really feel the staircase and flying machine. It all seemed a bit clumsy. She can't stand on the stairs because they are tiled, the balance of the figure while holding the contraption seems awkward... But then I realized I had the parts of Friends set 41000 (Kate's water-scooter) lying around. Bought it for the figure, did not care for the little boat. But put the two together...And it's my first, modest MOC! That's one lazy bird. So, what do you think?

Love this thread! This theme seemed so unpopular at first, but people have really warmed to it. So, after resisting the temptation of the LOTR sets for many years, I have finally come out of my dark ages and bought myself some lego. And it's the Elves theme that did it. I'm having difficulty explaining why I like it so much, but I'm in hook, line and sinker. Maturity and feminism be damned! As to feminism though, I don't think there is anything wrong with a Lego theme that somewhat aims itself at a female audience. I would have had trouble with "simplified" or "dumbed down" line of sets, or sets that depict female characters doing only stereotypically feminine things. But these sets stay away from these pitfalls from the past. They are proper Lego sets without large single-use parts and lots of play features, the colors are adorable, and there is a strong sense of exploration and adventure. Nice work! In fact the only set I haven't bought is the adventure ship, and I plan to buy that before the end of the month. The treehouse is my absolute favourite, so much going on with that one, lots of features, lots of details. I have adapted all the sets into a sort of small Elven village. Is it ok to post photos here?

Thank you! I'll be right there!

Thank you! I'll have to look into posting there then.

So where should posts and MOCs relating to the new Lego Elves theme go?

Hello everyone! Just came out of my "dark age"...And it was the "Elves" theme that did it. Yeah, I know. So where should I post about this theme?
