    2024 Friends sets

    Could be wrong but I think Aveline in the Mars set has dark brown skin tone.

    Rapunzels Tower revealed. Minidolls (as I’m sure will annoy many) but I’m happy to finally add Gothel to the roster

    2023 Friends Rumours, Leaks, Information And Discussion

    The model in the lipstick poster in the beauty store looks familiar… could we be seeing “Layla” in Januarys music / talent show sets after her debut at the community centre opening? Going to make a prediction for a few camping/outdoorsy sets summer 24 (similar to the sea rescue this year) - the outdoors shop and ‘CAMP’ sign feel like Easter eggs

    2023 Friends Rumours, Leaks, Information And Discussion

    They’ve definitely published the episodes the wrong way round. This should be ep6 and then overleveraged Leo as ep7. also I wouldn’t say Olly & Paisley are related- it would’ve been mentioned by now. From the map in the instructions and the set name im assuming they’re next door neighbors so grew up together. With the British and Irish accents, I’m expecting some kinda classic UK-styled semidetached or townhouse for the set in January

    The ~600 piece count we’ve seen before would match up with price per piece rate we’ve seen on the minidoll Princess sets as well. wonder if it’ll also be Wish, or if it could be a complement to the Treehouse - maybe have Ariel, Snow White and Merida as they’re the only 3 who haven’t come in this years updated style

    Clearer image now out - it’s Leo not Aliya (reusing same outfit as the new character from the ski slope)

    It is hard plastic now - change was made in the 4+ minidoll Sleeping Beauty set in January

    Not sure how any of those are relevant as no sets have been made that would need those animals. there’s plenty of unique Disney animal molds in the minidoll line: Heihei, Pua, Sebastian, Flounder, Rajah, Gusgus, Pascal, the 3 different monkey things from Raya to name a few… If we get Wish sets I’m pretty sure it’ll come with a new mold for Valentino the goat - but it won’t be the goat return everyone’s waited for (although I’m predicting the YouTuber clickbait titles now “LEGO goats are back”)

    That’s not a new piece it’s just the minidoll piece recoloured.

    Little Mermaid Castle leaked. It’s minifigures and based on the new live action. looks like a bit of a mess IMO but I’m sure some people will be happy

    The 13 minidoll 43215 has been leaked by a Korean website. That’s a lot of princesses. Kinda disappointed at the lack of Merida and Snow White as they’re now the only 2 princesses missing in the new style (assuming the Ariel’s castle is a minidoll set - and her absence here I think strengthens that idea). But fun to see the random other 3 characters. Still; I would’ve swapped out Alice and Wendy for Merida and Snow White. Tinker Bell makes a bit more sense as a kind of mascot. Wendy’s new hair is lovely though. and yay for finally Pocahontas, I knew that accessory pin-hole in her CMF hair was a good sign

    anyone else think the new Luke Skywalker hair might come in dark orange for Battle of Hogwarts Ron in the summer set? although I did think they’d use the new Friends Autumn hair braid in brown for Hermione in the Room of Requirement fiendfyre set and that didn’t happen so…

    Think the initial rumours were that it was the first 18+ minidoll set. https://www.bricksup.co.uk/post/lego-disney-43225-disney-princess-18-castle-rumoured-for-spring-2023-disney-100

    Lord of the Rings Ongoing Discussion

    Anyone who’s got the set and copies of the old figures able to offer some pics of swapped parts? Legolas with the old face and new hair, old face and old hair, new face and old hair (basically every combination possible ) Also swapping for Arwen’s old hair, Gandalf’s old face, switching Merry/Sam hair colours, and anything else anyone can think of…?

    But if Lego already had their own Bag End in development (or are at least holding onto the idea of releasing their own at some point in future) it could be a reason to why the Ideas set was rejected. Similar to the ideas Snow White cottage being rejected could have been due to lego (seemingly) already having developed it as a set to come out for the Disney 100 years theme.

    Lord of the Rings Ongoing Discussion

    As someone who’s halfway through building an adapted version of the rejected Ideas Bag End set by saabfan (mostly just removing the book and fixing some unavailable colours), not sure how I’d feel about an official 18+ set, for the purely selfish reason of my poor wallet. The ideas set was rejected in June 2021 - is that too early for an official Bag End already being worked on / idea thrown round for the return of the LotR theme? If it was LotR themed though, would be a good chance to get old (but not as old) Bilbo with the hobbit hair in grey and his party attire. Probably also green shirt Frodo, reused Gandalf with his cart, party Sam, and a few other hobbits - definitely thinking old Proudfoot who watches Gandalf ride into town.

    Was curious at the spread of skin tones in the new wave. Main 8 characters on top, and everyone else below. Great that the diversity is getting better, but still very skewed to the lighter skin tones. Interested to see if this changes in the summer wave. On a different note - minidolls have always been more unstable than minifigs, but has anyone noticed that the new leg pieces for Paisley and especially Nova's make those minidolls especially wobbly? Nova can barely stay upright without studs

    Too soon to start predicting summer sets…? but I definitely feel the lack of Ron here will be rectified in Summer. A complementary Hogwarts add-on maybe with the Great Hall and/or entrance courtyard. Harry, Ron, updated Snape, black dress McGonagall, reuse the new Pansy Parkinson, couple of statues, maybe Molly Weasley or Filch — basically nearly every notable character from the McGonagall v Snape scene and Piertotum Locomotor. maybe throw in Voldemort too if it’s got the courtyard, as the book covers leaked a few months ago indicate we might be getting an updated Voldy. probably as close to a battle of Hogwarts set we could get without getting into the actual battle itself and deaths and “dark” subject matter

    I don’t mind the new designs, though it is annoying when we’ve just got sooooo close to having every character in the current design style (eyes with 2 white“sparkle” dots instead of just 1, and eyebrows matching hair colour). All we needed was Pocahontas to complete the set. How long are we going to have to wait to get everyone in this updated style? Or worse yet we finally get Pocahontas in Summer, but she looks out of place next to half the other characters because the face styling etc is completely different. - on another note - sad to see that awful gem dress appearing again but at least it’s only once. Gave them a reason to have to redesign Rapunzel’s hairpiece but kind of wish it had some more length to it- it looks even shorter than the current braid. Jasmine definitely looks like she’s back to using a darker skin tone - looks the same colour used for Moana. Weird choice - I definitely preferred her with the nougat.

    For anyone waiting for the 6-wide door frame in a more Hogwarts-appropriate colour to replace the white in the Astronomy Tower — a couple of the new Friends sets have it coming in nougat…

    VIDIYO - Universal Music 2021

    That’s now 2 pieces leaked I’m curious. Dino RnB Skate Park, and now either the Cutesy Goth Carriage or the Goth Witch Beatbox. Those curls on the hair are very similar style to the candy mermaid. Could this be that cancelled Vidiyo wave making a return in some form?

    VIDIYO - Universal Music 2021

    I was wondering if the new dino head might show up in BAM. We’ve already seen the fairy wings and the re-used torso from the karaoke mermaid. I know normally they don’t put new molds, just a couple of exclusive recolours or prints, but if these sets were ready to go and they spent money on the stuff for the dinos, sticking them in BAM will stop it all being a waste, especially if sets had already been in production so they have a stock of unused parts

    43210 - this should be good. I’m guessing it’ll have a redo of Maui and repeat of Moana from this years castle. 43211 - hoping for a Philip instead of another Maleficent, but top priority is definitely re-use the Merryweather mold from a few years ago and finally give all 3 fairies. I’d be happy with just Aurora and the 3 fairies. 43214 - not much to say. Hoping it’s not another reuse of the existing Rapunzel. She stands out at the minute as the only figure still with the old style torso and no back printing. 43216 makes me optimistic for Pocahontas. Just have a good feeling about it this time. Adventure set definitely feels like the kind of place to throw her in. Think Mulan and Merida are also good contenders for adventure. Presumably no Moana as she has a set of her own. Think they’ll probably throw in a classic princess in there as well. So yay for probably another Ariel. 5 more sets for later. I’m gonna call at least 2 frozen sets and (hopefully) some Encanto.

    Those boots work really well. If they do redo Hooch soon (which feels inevitable as we’re long overdue a remake of quidditch) I’d love to see them recolour JB’s hair/goggle piece from Hidden Side.
