2025 Castle Theme [wishlist/speculation]
GreenhouseBricker replied to GreenhouseBricker's topic in LEGO Historic Themes
Yeah I doubt they would make a mill or farm so close to the town square. I definitely agree, a small Wolfpack set is probably the most likely candidate to be released next. We already have the torso and it would be a very popular set or GWP. I know I would try to pick up a couple. -

What do you think will be the next official LEGO Castle set? (Not including the Bricklink designer program) Personally, I think it will be some sort of medieval joust set inspired by some of the previous tournament and joust sets LEGO has released over the years. However, one of the IDEAS sets that are now in review could be selected and released before then. -
Do you think the orange classic spaceman could be the new orange/red colour?

2025 Castle Theme [wishlist/speculation]
GreenhouseBricker replied to GreenhouseBricker's topic in LEGO Historic Themes
I really like this concept of a renaissance fair. It would be really interesting to see how LEGO would do it and I’m sure we would get a ton of Case parts and printed pieces. I don’t care for the mini dolls but seeing some classic factions in that style would certainly be interesting. It may also help us get more variations of horses and barding. -
2025 Castle Theme [wishlist/speculation]
GreenhouseBricker replied to GreenhouseBricker's topic in LEGO Historic Themes
I would definitely prefer to have a stand alone theme or subtheme for Castle. Especially if it was Fantasy Era 2 because I grew up with Fantasy. Doing a new wave with trolls in the style of the series 24 CMF would be amazing. I have a small army of them already. However, I think it would be great if LEGO does a "Year of Castle" and introduced a new wave as well as using the banner across multiple themes. I can fortunately afford to get 1-2 expensive LEGO castle sets each year, but I know many other fans who can't. Having sets at different price points helps grow the community. It brings in new younger fans and allows AFOLs to army build and do more MOCs. I really like the 2024 City Space sets and am slowly collecting the whole wave. Don't get me wrong, I love the expensive Castle sets and Castle adjacent sets we have gotten over the past couple of years. I will get the Medieval Town Square in a few months when there is a good GWP or double points. But I think it is important to expand the audience. The DnD CMF will probably help with this but unless you are a dedicated fan of DnD or have the financial resources, new Castle fans and young fans will not be buying the Red Dragons Tale Set. -

There are definitely some challenges that a Castle banner would face in certain themes that Space does not. The modern/futuristic element of space allows it to fit into themes like City and Friends quite well. Then there's themes like Dreams that kind of do whatever they want. But Castle could potentially get its own Theme or Subtheme 'Classic Castle'. It could also be really interesting to see the banner extend to themes like Ninjago (LEGO Ninjas tie-in), Technic for siege engines, Architecture for real world Castles, Art for faction shields and coat of arms, Creator or Classic for freestyle castle building with lots of elements and parts, and obviously CMF. I think it is less likely to see it in City, but Friends might be a possibility. -

Thanks for the tip. I have edited the topic. -
As you know, LEGO has made 2024 the year of space; incorporating the ‘space’ banner across many established themes. If successful, this will hopefully bring in a new wave of space fans and satisfy some older fans of space and classic space. Is this something LEGO may attempt for other classic themes; specifically, Castle? It could be wishful thinking but I don’t think its impossible that 2025 or 2026 could be the year of Castle. Depending on the success of “Space 2024”, it could allow LEGO to be more flexible with its Castle banner and help satisfy multiple groups of LEGO fans while introducing a new generation to Castle. Spreading the banner of Castle across many themes would allow us to get more variety of pieces and prints. Themes such as CMF, ICONS, Creator, Friends, Duplo, City, Technic, Ninjago and maybe even introducing a new theme in the castle wave. I’m not sure how it would be executed but we can definitely take some cues from “Space 2024” for a theoretical “Castle 2025” What are your thoughts and do you think LEGO might go down this route in 2025 or 2026?

Lego Icons 10332 Medieval Town Square Discussion Thread
GreenhouseBricker replied to BrickJagger's topic in LEGO Historic Themes
I might use the Medieval Blacksmith 21325 as the home for the wealthy Tax Collector. As a landlord, he leases the basement out to the blacksmith and his daughter to run their business. Then the forge heats the Tax Collector's house for free. The upstairs room in the Medieval Town Square 10332 can be a hideaway for the wolfpack while he's in town doing his nefarious business. -
Ahh no worries, glad it helped.

Oh really? I haven't heard anything about it. I know there is a BrickLink Designer Program Forest Stronghold that will go on pre-order October 1st. It that what you are referring to? I will definitely try to get a copy of that set. https://www.bricklink.com/v3/designer-program/series-3/1127/Forest-Stronghold That's fair, the Bricklink Forest Stronghold is a lot less busy looking. Does that interest you more or are they both in the MOC category.

This is a thread for the LEGO IDEAS project Forest Base by Iyan Ha. This project has reached the 10,000 supporter threshold for consideration. It is a gorgeous looking model and I think it has a decent shot at being selected for production. It feels like it fits really well with modern building building style and look of the recent castle set we have gotten. What are your thoughts on this set/model and do you think this set will be selected for production? https://ideas.lego.com/projects/f0a4d056-6b10-4993-aeec-8e16dded0c57

Well it could be a lot of different things, basically just customizing them. I have been trying to make some new factions to complement the 2024 city space minifigures. Mostly just replacing arms, helmets, heads and accessories. I have a few of the white and black 'modern' space helmets with from some 2022-23 city sets. So I am starting with a black faction as a security or policing force. Once I have some other colours of space helmets I can add more factions. I find that the 2024 space hoverbike 30663 poly bag is the cheapest way to do this. They are only about $1 more then a CMF and come with a lot more pieces. I am also trying to create additional environment for my minifigures by replicating the style of the moon or planet that the 2024 space wave 1 is based on. You can see my first attempt in the background of the photo.

Is anyone making any alt-minifigure factions with the 2024 sets?

Does anyone know if we will be able to pre-order the MTS before March 1? I would really like to get the CS Micro Rocket Launchpad GWP if I'm gonna buy the MTS anyway.
