@blackdeathgr Thank you very much! I hope you'll enjoy the next ones! @socalbricks Thank you! Kars and crew sure would find it useful! @Kai NRG Thank you! I had a lot of fun selecting the tiles. The one with the dragon comes from an Elves set (41176). @Robert8 Who knows...

How creative - both the minifigs, their backstory, and the poem itself! I've listened to it on Discord (and learned quite a lot of new english words). I especially like Lily, who indeed looks so sweet...but definitely is not.

Lego Licensed Parts available from Bricks & Pieces
Aurore replied to LegoPercyJ's topic in LEGO Licensed
Oh yes! My list is ready, and if all the parts it contains are actually available on B&P, it may be my biggest order to date! -
Day 3 - Quest Board Dresghar: "I have set up a disruptive talent sourcing platform to help our villagers tackle their recruiting challenges." Evrart: "Huh? Seems like an ordinary quest board to me, sir."

Ooooh, right! -
@williejm How come I had never heard of Irn Bru before today, nor found a single bottle of it around here to give it a try, while we (arguably) still have the Auld Alliance and the town next to mine is twinned with a scottish one?? @DBlegonerd7 So glad you enjoy it! @socalbricks Thank you! I think he Marauders' Map are among my favourite printed tiles ever - both versions, and also the third one we'll be getting in 2022. @Eyrezer Thank you! A (honest...or not) cartographer's workshop is definitely on my to-build list...but it may take a while before I actually build it. @Robert8 While those treasure hunters are busy with Hogwarts, that mean they're far away from Embervale and that's perfect! PS : tons of coins...and tons of lutes as well!

@Frike The recoloured owl is in the Hogwarts Magical Trunk set (76399), which is due for march. And I think you're right for the saddle - it definitely looks dark brown! -

I quite like the new rock boulder part from the City rocket launch centre. Makes me want to build a crystal cave! The new petri dish printed tile and the erlenmeyer flask with trans dark-blue (?) content from the lunar base will be perfect in my GOH sorceress' lab, and so will the new splotch part. The new hairpieces for Friends Andrea and Emma in the street food market look great. It's abolutely amazing to get a new, dark orange horse (and a reddish brown saddle). And the foal. And the kittens. And the squirrels. And the sand blue owl. And the recoloured turtle. And the blue-eyed husky. And the tucan. Conclusion : I'm thrilled by the new sets! -
Adventure Supplies: Parts from other themes for Adventurers!
Aurore replied to Peppermint_M's topic in LEGO Action and Adventure Themes
The 2022 Friends canal houseboat set features a new hat + hair combo that would be perfect for a female adventurer. It also comes in black + pink in another set - but I find the colours less interesting. -
Day 2 - Adventure Supplies Evrart: "Treasure hunters tend to spend recklessly on gear and gadgets. And on old maps. Oh, and on drinks, too. Our shopkeepers rather appreciate them."

@Robert8 Thank you so much! I've been wanting to pair that head and torso for ages, but I had not found a lower body part I liked with the combo. And yes, I wanted to add a bit of drama with the hair! @williejm Thank you very much! I was absolutely thrilled when I saw Thena's minifig - and, to be honest, most of the Eternals. Their body parts look so useful! (Oh well, that last sentence would sound so weird out of context...) @DBlegonerd7 Thank you so much! I hope you'll enjoy the next builds! @jtooker Thank you very much! I've not been able to make an advent calendar last year, but I could not NOT do it this year! @Eyrezer Well, when I started Alrune's minifig and looked for inspiration on the internet, my search for "elven sorceress" returned mainly outfits that were...let's say "not practical". I already had a sufficient idea of her personality to know she would be enraged about it! @socalbricks Thank you very much! I was dumbfounded when I found out the patterns on Leia's torso and Thena's legs would be perfectly aligned. As for the vampire bassist, I've been incredibly lucky : I got three Vidiyo Bandmates S2 blindboxes, and had both her and the dragon guitarist - i.e. the two I wanted most! @kahir88 Thank you so much! Your advent calendar sounds thrilling (such a lovely idea!), will you share photos on the net?

Nice figs! Very...classic. I really like the heads you chose for each of them, especially for the guy with the band aid - looks like a rather funny and mischievous fellow!

Isn't that piece the same mould as Lucy Wyldstyle's scarf from The Lego Movie, only in dark red? -
I'm even wondering whether the new owl could be sand blue...or does it appear bluish-er than the usual bluish gray due to my screen's setting?

Minor part - but the upcoming Hogwards Magical Trunk contains a new, flat lid for the treasure chest. In pearl gold, with two studs. Also, a new owl print! -
There's a new owl print in the upcoming Hogwarts Magical Trunk set! A new grey pattern on the existing owl with spread wings mould.

CDC2 Ancient Wonders: Standing Stones Swap Meet
Aurore replied to Eyrezer's topic in Guilds of Historica
What an amazing display of clever plant and fungi design! I really love how the Grent integrate with the environment, while the sleek design of the stones allow them stand out. Story-wise, the swap meet is a great idea and I'm glad to see you develop the concept of the Grent Fungi Herders. Little Mahoe and his pink cap puffballs may be the cutest thing in the whole Enchanted Forest! Would you mind if I add your fungi to the guide to Historican flora and fauna? -
Since the reindeer is next to an obviously rendered minifig, I hold out little hope the animal itself is anything more than an illustration. But still...I'd really love to get such a light grey deer. It would be absolutely gorgeous and magical, a perfect addition to any fantasy setting! Fingers crossed. Christmas miracle maybe?

[Minifigs] Dark Elves Royalty (Chronicles of Embervale Digression #1)
Aurore replied to Aurore's topic in Guilds of Historica
@socalbricks Thank you so much for that incredibly motivating feedback! There have been very nice minifig designs in the Marvel and SW themes recently (I'll never praise Shuri's blue torso enough), and I feel very lucky that some french BL sellers had them in their inventory! -
Day 1 - Alda the Dungeoneer Alrune: "Adventurers! Parasites who make a living by breaking into the residences of honest sorcerers, sticking their nose everywhere and bullying the guards until they find some shiny trinket to bring home. And don't get me started on their laughable taste in women's fashion!"

[Minifigs] Dark Elves Royalty (Chronicles of Embervale Digression #1)
Aurore replied to Aurore's topic in Guilds of Historica
@MayItBe Thank you very much! I have to admit the Queen is my personal favourite too. @Frike At first, I was not really interested in the Marvel torsos...until I found the blue one from Shuri. @Kai NRG Thank you! I have no idea what the silver...thing on the candlestick is actually supposed to be - it's classified as a weapon on BL (part of 50018). But it's quite useful and versatile! -

Aurore replied to Aurore's topic in Guilds of Historica
@zoth33 Thank you very much! Yes, Wilwë indeed has the torso from the blue Eternal (Ikaris, right?). I have not seen the film, but I really enjoy the minifig designs of those guys, very magical. -
Only 3 series left? Oh my, that's awful... I'll do an advent calendar in the Guilds of Historica this year, but I see we're counting on the same guy for original minifigs!
-
Well, december is coming, so I was wondering...will you make an advent calendar this year?

The 2022 Monkie Kid sets are unveiled, and as usual there are a few parts that could be interesting for medieval-fantasy builds. I especially noticed : - A new flame piece, available in a nice variety of colours in the different sets, - A new hairpiece with moon tiara (wondering how it would look on the CMF 22 Moon Warrior, btw), - A rather pretty armour. EDIT - and also a new chopsticks piece!
