Modular Building Sets - Rumours and Discussion
The_Nev replied to The Jersey Brick Guy's topic in LEGO Town
Not sure if I believe that those figs are from the 2019 modular. Usually the modulars come with a real variety of people, each with a unique character, and from all walks of life. These are all too similar to each other, there's not the diversity that we usually see. But who knows, things could be drastically changing, after all, who would've predicted that they would move away from the standard smile faces? Time will reveal the mysteries I suppose, I just hope it isn't too long a time! And if this is a real leak of the modular minifigs, then hopefully that means that Lego will come out with an official release very soon! -

Good spotting! Shame it isn't likely to be the next modular, but imagine if that was how it leaked! Not that we can tell much from the picture... -
Introducing Neville Equicius & The Equicius Clan (Avalonia tasks 1 &2)
The_Nev replied to The_Nev's topic in Guilds of Historica
Thanks for all the feedback! Glad you guys like the bases, I tried to keep them relatively simple to compliment the characters, rather than draw attention away from them. Good to hear that you think they were effective! -
Free Builds. Make sure to post a link here, for the glory of your Guild!

Wow! Fantastic build, you really captured the scale well! As said above, I like how you've blended the structures into the landscape. -

The_Nev replied to Henjin_Quilones's topic in Guilds of Historica
Thank you all for the warm welcome! I already feel at home here in Avalonia, and look forward to sharing my story with you, through both words and builds! Hoorah! Off to a good start, looking forward to the next challenge where I can hopefully lend a contributing hand! -
I, Neville Equicius, son of Albus Equicius, pledge my allegiance to Avalonia! historica sig fig by The Nev, on Flickr OOC: I'm relatively new to Eurobricks, and very new to GoH, but not new to Lego! Looking forward to taking part, there's a short Bio for Neville Equicius in the Avalonia thread, and more story soon to come, along with some MOCs!

Book III - Avalonia: Guild sign-up and Discussion
The_Nev replied to Henjin_Quilones's topic in Guilds of Historica
I, Neville Equicius, son of Albus Equicius, pledge my allegiance to Avalonia! historica sig fig by The Nev, on Flickr The Equicius clan were once respected as great horsemen, our herds of old were among the finest in all of Historica. Living a semi-nomadic way of life, the Equicius would traverse the eastern grasslands of Avalonia as the seasons changed, with only a handful of villages based in the northern-most plains. This way of life ended, however, when pillagers of the north raided and destroyed our villages, stole or scattered our herds, and many of our finest riders' lives were lost in those darkest days. Since then, the Equicius have never recovered their previous status, and the remaining clansmen are scattered amongst the towns and villages of Avalonia, and the horsemen of old are forgotten by all except legend. My father, a descendant of the leader of our clan of old, Eorl of Equicius the first, was determined that the Equicius would return to their pastures of old, and once again be admired across the lands for their herds. Nine years ago, he embarked on a journey to find the tomb of Eorl of Equicius, which he believed would contain the key to reuniting the clan, but he did not return. After 5 years passed, I came of age, and by a strange stroke of fate, received a map from my father's uncle, a map which revealed the location of Eorl of Equicius' tomb. That day, I set out to find my father and lead him to the tomb, and that continues to be my quest to this day. I fear for the odds of my success, as it has been too many years since my father was last seen. Who knows what foul circumstances have befallen him? I hold onto hope though, as I am sure it is my destiny to see that my father unites the clan of Equicius... -
Any news, rumours, leaks, suspicions on the next fairground set? I swear I haven't heard anything about anything coming out in 2019!

The two modulars that are current available that I don't have are Parisian and Diner. Which one would you recommend, or should I get Palace Cinema from 3rd party, as price is still similar? -

I can't wait! Also, what are our thoughts on the talk of there being an old modular re-release, now that the Vestas turbine has been announced? Still going to happen? There's been a lot of Creator Expert set numbers rumoured/leaked, but not a lot of sets to go with them... -
I think the point will be that they end up doing rides that are similar to previous rides, but not necessarily repeating the same thing. Think how many roller coasters they could do. Even so, there's still plenty of rides to do, teacups, Rotor, drop tower, swings, slingshot, vomitron, XXXXL, etc style rides are all possibilities.

The_Nev replied to The Jersey Brick Guy's topic in LEGO Town
Yeah, I wouldn't expect their thought process to be something along the lines of "Hey, we should do a garage!" "Garage isn't going to work, lets turn it into a diner instead!" "Hey, let's try a garage again!" I can see a garage working really well, but wouldn't expect it to come so soon after they were almost doing one. Surely they'd move onto other options that they have, rather than keep trying with the one idea. -

Should've placed a few bets on my prediction LOL! On topic, should be interesting how they would do a corner petrol station with another business above it, as I would've thought that there wouldn't be much room on the side for an entrance along with the driveway for the petrol station. -

The_Nev replied to The Jersey Brick Guy's topic in LEGO Town
This is all very interesting news! I do remember hearing speculation that there will be another fairground set released this year, so that definitely fits. There's also the "Exclusive Lego Creator Expert set" that will have a new plant-based element in it due to be released this year. It makes a sort of sense to me if that set is the re-release of the Vestas Turbine, as both have the "green" environmental theme to them. Or maybe we will get a pharmacy with the green plus, and a new plant piece to go with it ;D -
When are we expecting to get a new train station? From what I can gather, Lego has been releasing a new train station every 3-4 years; the last 5 were released in 2014, 2010, 2007, 2003 and 1999 according to Brickipedia (http://lego.wikia.com/wiki/Trains). So apparently we should be expecting one to be released this year, but I would've thought that if there was going to be a release this year it would have been at the same time as the two trains? Is there any leaks or info out there as to when and what the next station will be? Thanks, The Nev.

Interesting! Can't wait to see what it is, the last two have been pretty good.

It's not like the Diner is the first one to definitely not be European, I think most of them could fit in in most countries, but the Fire Station has the stars and stripes on its flag, so there's not much left to the imagination concerning its location.. The Palace Cinema has always been reminiscent of Grauman's Chinese Theatre to me, which is obviously American. Personally, I like that the Diner is different to all the others, sure its nice when they all go together really well, but I think that a bit of variety does not go astray. After all, variety is the spice of life! -
Thanks! Aussie Aussie Aussie!

Hey! The two big ones for me are Castle and City, but I also have gotten into a bit of everything over the years, especially Indiana Jones, and would like to get more into Star Wars, out of all my hundreds of sets, only one is Star Wars! (The latest X-Wing model) And as for the title, its got to be one of the best greeting in history, right?

I don't think you could call the rollercoaster in the art the one in the set, as the art has a loop clearly shown, while the real model obviously doesn't - there wasn't any ferris wheel or carousel on the boxes either, and if they were hinting at future sets, surely they would've included those ones? The mixer was released in 2014, I think its more likely that they were aware of the ferris wheel or even the carousel that were to come in the next three years than the rollercoaster after them. The rollercoaster set does have a ferris wheel in its box art though, which leads me to think that the reason for including a rollercoaster and swing-tower on the box is that they are iconic amusement rides - and as it would be a bit odd having a rollercoaster in the background on the rollercoaster box, they swapped it for another iconic ride, the ferris wheel.
