  1. Yeah, I see the images! 

     I really adore color schemes - past year use of pale green and saturated red was too experimantal for me. It's nice that theme becomes much action-oriented with new beasts and weapons, however, I also liked peaceful sets of the first wave like bakery of workshop. Also new avatar-style cartoons give me hope that story behind will be not too stupid :) My favorite cartoons are about Ragana and Sira in 2016 - enough nice humorious fantasy.

    First place of new sets for me is dark tower - I exited that we will get third dark elf in this series!! And it's cool with dark wings on the top and ans bluesh-green columns and mushrooms. Farran's fox is funny and it seems that it's head diffrent from lion's, but may be I'm wrong.

    Also I like Aira's set - the building have cool style and I'm just fan of dragons. Bird is also very nice little build, much intresting than smallest sets of previous years. Lion set is about pure action, it's Azari style :)  Less of them I like turtle - head looks too simple and smooth in coparison with body, but I like the idea, turtles are cool :)


  2. This is great news!! Can't wait to see new sets! What may you say about new color scheme? Is there also some houses or castles?

    Similar to the Elves Dragons. There's a green wolf as well, uses the same head as the lion/big cat. Turtle's shell is made blue bricks, looks like gold accent pieces. Legs and head are aqua, I'd guess. Looks like a new bat piece, similar to this year's goblins.

    Oh wow! That is so beautiful! You are clearly a master customizer! I can't wait to see what else you create!

    I hope that Elves isn't ending this year, and to be honest I'm still sort of questioning it. It wouldn't entirely surprise me if it ended, though.

    Thank you , Aanchir! I have some ideas about how to customize doubles, as minimum I want to make new haicuts for main characters, so I'll try :)


  4. Oh closing this theme would be trouble for me :( I don't know which other theme is enough intresting for my taste. Some Ninjago sets, espesially from the movie, are awesome, but I would to buy only fantasy-like ones. Or, if once I'll get some sci-fi stuff, I'll rebuild it in elven style :) Anyway, this three years made me fan of this series and in case of bad news I'll continue building and making my own story, so if anyone want to make some fan project I would be glad to participate!

    Btw here's my armored Aira, just to roughly estimate how this may look :)

  5. Hello! Here's new MOCs of my favourite Lego theme :) I keep the fingers crossed for next year because it's so inspiring series.

    First one is all about big fountain - I like that method when water is made with scattered small transperent pieces, so I decide to try it too :) Also there's tea room and greenhouse

    This I builded before. The Idea is expansion of Dragon Sanctuary set. I added counsil hall with elemental themed thrones. Also there was first floor cave, but it happend little chaotic so I don't include it here.

  6. Yeah, I've got treetop hideaway! It was luck to find it on sale in one on-line store. So last set I want for my collection is Skyra's Castle.

    My biggest problem is choosing which ones to display in my Lego corner!

    Ohh, I heve the same problem! I think once this will lead to buying new shelves!)) I always hold one set on my work table and replace witth any other sometimes.

    I feel like we've had a lot of dragons in Lego in recent years, I'd like next year's Lego Elves story to have the elves rescuing Unicorns from Ragana, or maybe some dark elves...

    Oh, I saw that image 1'5 year ago on DeviantArt :) Nice concept. However, Ragana and Kronan are actually dark elves, and I love their design :)

    Now there's elves, dragons and goblins, it seems that here's clasical fantasy line :)  What about dwarves next year? There might be amazing crystal caves and underground castles, axes and beards! =) Also I would like to see new mounts, something like rideable volwes (as in Elfquest) or Chocobo from Final Fantasy


  8. Even this themes are enough popular here, I don't think that it might be steampunk or dinosaurs for two reasons.  In first, they they are not very wide popular now, and I in my opinion they not enogh fresh for "wow" effect. In second, espessially steampunk,this is not first wanted meal (I hope I wrote clear things :) ) , oftenly it is addition to other bigger themes. I mean there's lot of examples when steampunk comes as solution of idea crysis in games, books or music - such as "hmmm, what we should do next? Ah, steampunk is nice idea!" - really, I meet that situation several times :) There's few strong movies or books in steampunk theme, and they ere always not too mainstream. And it's bronze and brown palette is not very liked by children. 

    I hope I were not too sharp with such tninkig, please, forgive me if I were :)

    I think also lego designers is always in search of something unpredictable, and many times it is mix of styles - techno animals, cyber ninjas and techno knights , even Bionicle reminds of mythology :)  

    I would like to see theme about minifigures fighting or hunting huge fantastic creatures and monsters with crazy design - in way like it is in Monster Hunter games. The biggest monsters is living walking castles with some little critters inside! And of course, minifigures' vehicles might be with dieselpunk elements! :D


  9. Dieselpunk would be really intresting! Mix of old-style mechanisms, lots of gears and ArtDeco geometric designs :)

    Also I think it may be nice theme based on 80's futurism - all about space opera and shiny lasers, but with touch of fantasy, not in way of serious science fiction. I mean style of movies like Kung Fury, Tron, He-man and Guardians of Galaxy. However, Nexo Knights is already near it :)

    Looking over the other summer sets, I found myself very impressed with the use of colour on Eclipso's Dark Palace from the DC line, and felt a little sad Ragana's Castle wasn't a bit more like this. Eclipso herself looks like she might fit in reasonably well with Elves (perhaps with one of those Skyra hairpieces the Nexo Knights harpies are getting?), so I could be tempted to pick her up at some point if she's not going for an absolute fortune. She could be friends with the Shadow Servant (who I agree looks fantastic!) :)

    I liked that set too, and also many of SuperGirls sets looks very good. This series are new so it seems designers put extra effort. There are some really cool minidolls - I like bee girl and Lashina, and if I would get Ivy I will can't resist to sculpt and paint pointy ears to her hairpiese :) 

     Howewer, Ragana's castle is still number one set for me because of it's amazing style - fantasy-themed and elegant :)  


  11. Oh what a huuuge building!  It's cool that photo report is so detailed, there's lot of intresting mini-scenes! Keep posting it, please!

     I like that big snone gates and overall brutal look of it, it reminds me old Unreal Tournament game that I played it schoolyears. Are that gliders from official lego sets or it is your invention too? 


  12. Hello! :) I've got some inspiration from new Super Hero Girls series and space themes to build something eclectic for my favourite elves! 

    I took some evenings and I enjoyed much building something technical. I think I will need more sci-fi sets soon and became true lego fan soon :D

    Aira is my favourite character, may be because she loves to create something :)

    This long flexible wire stored without use for a long time, it was a pity for me, at last I find out how it can make cool curved shape:

    Also I amazed how combines bright yellow and dark gray
