Yep! Both Fateful_04 and TandNBricks are saying it, now with a set number and early next year. Supposedly D2C, so not a playset. ^ All with a grain of salt of course. Wish we had more details, but the wait for the Deku Tree was also agonizing since we had pictures leak so early.

No argument here! I hope they make more smaller sets, but they must see Zelda as more like Lord of the Rings for now? Maybe once the movie comes out we’ll get a line of playsets scale sets. (I doubt they’d be based on the movie since LEGO did nothing for the Mario movie, but maybe that’ll be be justification for making non 18+ sets?) Agreed there is so much potential. And since I’ve played almost all the games, I’m only biased in that I want sets of them all! But while I’d love to see Skyward Sword, Wind Waker, or Twilight Princess get sets, my guess is they’ll stick to Ocarina and Breath of the Wild for now to get both classic and modern fans at once. If we don’t get Ganondorf, I hope we at least get a minifigure enemy next time around.

Just a Christmas Tie Fighter I would bet that LEGO will keep Zelda as a 2-in-1 approach with Ocarina of Time (for nostalgia) and BotW (for modern fans). They could keep it going for years with so many locations reoccurring in the game series. Some ideas: - Lon Lon Ranch or BotW Stable - OoT Temple of Time or BotW Temple of Time - OoT Hyrule Castle or BotW Castle Ruins - OoT Kakariko Village or BotW Impa’s house Whatever they do next, I hope we get more characters as minifigures.

On Instagram TandNbricks is teasing Zelda returning in 2026. Last year they correctly teased Simpsons, Pokemon, Horizons Zero Dawn, and Lord of the Rings for 2025. They wrongly teased Indiana Jones and Endor Master Builder Series. So, take that for what you will. But hopeful we get more Zelda.

I know we're supposedly a couple days away from the official announcement, which should have these details, but has anyone figured out the dimensions of the main Bag End build side to side and front to back? Trying to figure out which shelf it could fit on in my office and I keep getting confused counting studs because of the angles and larger slopes.

It’s a great strategy for a leaker if they know enough “sure” things but a few “maybes” to position it all as an April Fools’ Joke and ask us to decide what’s real or not. That way if one or two fall through they were “always” the jokes.

I remember that April Fools’ Day list and thought there was no way they were all real, Pokemon had to be the prank. Surprise, surprise! i wonder if plans have changed since Dial of Destiny? But maybe other mediums (like the video game) will keep Indy alive enough in pop culture to justify some one-off Icons sets based on the movies? like Lord of the Rings? I just personally have a hard time believing we’ll get a dedicated theme again.

He said “3.25 LotR will be eating good” so looks like that’s the announcement date, but by “eating good” do you think we’ll get more revealed then just the Shire? Maybe that’s why the later announcement, we’re also getting the Balrog set revealed for later this Summer?

Totally surprised by this announcement and intrigued for sure! I have a feeling based on the announcement video that it's going to be more like the Mario sets rather than the minifigure-based Animal Crossing or Zelda sets. My immediate thought? I'm imagining a Mario-esque starter set with a digital pokeball that can scan and catch brick-built pokemon.

This and the breakdown by theme is really interesting! Glad I saw it. Isn’t the Balrog Book Nook set coming out this Summer now rumored to be about 1200 pieces and $115? That puts it around $.09/piece. Which means the Shire set is even more out of sync at $270? Editing to add: just saw this in an article for whatever it’s worth: ”Christiansen also told the Financial Times Lego would not "overreact" to President Donald Trump's tariffs, with the company shipping most of its US inventory from Mexico, adding that the company had got through the Covid pandemic "by not overreacting, and it’s the same approach here."

I don’t, unfortunately, but from pictures it also looks like it won’t match any of the pieces

I put the three next to each other on a variety of plates: https://imgur.com/a/EMJ5oHq The left column is the new trans light blue, the middle column is my old trans light blue, and the right column is trans blue. The difference is most noticeable on the white plate, but even on the darker plates the two left columns catch the light differently and you can tell they’re different shades. I’m sure the right mix of the two trans light blue would make a decent effect for water though? Edit: the biggest issue is that the left column is a little too clear while the other two columns blur the underlying plate more, giving it a little more depth for water.

Interesting! And thanks for sending! This is the first I’ve found of the same color issue online despite searching the last couple days. LEGO is very kindly sending replacement parts, so hopefully they match one of the colors I have? I’m using it for a MOC with lots of water. LEGO was asking if I was accidentally comparing transparent light blue to transparent blue. If anyone else is curious, here’s a comparison of all 3 colors: https://imgur.com/a/A3c7ubj Top: new trans light blue received this week Middle: trans light blue already in my collection Bottom: trans blue already in my collection

So strange! It’s definitely not the satin trans light blue. It’s almost a clear light turquoise. I’ve never seen a piece this color before, and it’s definitely off from other trans light blue pieces. And it’s 100% legit LEGO. Just wish their email reply had some more info on what happened.

Got a Pick a Brick situation that has me stumped. I recently received an order that included 300 "transparent light blue" 1x2 tiles. But the color is noticeably different than the "transparent light blue" tiles I've received in past PAB orders or LEGO sets. Image: https://imgur.com/a/XePJ274 The top is “transparent light blue” ID: 6251295/35386 that I just ordered. The bottom is “transparent light blue” from previous orders/sets. Never had such a noticeable difference in color before? It almost looks like what I received is a satin trans light blue but without the satin finish/no sparkles? On the PAB site there's element ID: 6251295 (which I ordered) and Element ID: 6514227 (opalescent, which I didn't order) and then element ID: 6514224 (another trans light blue?). I emailed LEGO about it and all they said was they would send replacement parts, no clarification on what happened. Anyone know what’s up?
