How different opinions! Instead to me rises from a "never in life" to a "concrete maybe".

I did one month ago...

Thanks SO much again for this review. It was perfect to understand what the parts look like. I know have better ideas. These are the best reviews on minifigures you can find online. Thanks SO much.

Yes I know I mean those pirates with the jolly roger, hooks and peg leg and and burying treasures and you know :D

Something has to replace Nexo Knights next year. I don't know if it will be a Castle Theme, but a new theme has to come.

Still I see a lot of kids playing with fantasy/rpg-themed videogames. I really think that TLG could benefit selling FEW castle sets, but every year.

This is very interesting. Likewise Pirates appeal here in Italy though there weren't really pirates in the mediterranean!

I live in Europe so I'm not entitled to know, but what do US boys think abous "architecture of medieval Europe"? I mean, do they find it appealing?

Let me tell you a thing that I haven't read anywhere here. I may sound foolish, but to me the greatest antagonist to a serious castle theme is Ninjago. Ninjago has to me occupied the spot in boys' imaginations that can leave room for a serious castle/fantasy theme. I was looking the pictures of the baddies for Summer sets and I found them interesting enough, then I was struck down with the fact that, apart from a hyatus related to the first NK wave, the red guys, I always thought as Ninjago baddies as my purchases for the year. I mean: To me these are Nagas / Yuan-Ti: These are wraiths: These are Yuan-Ti cultists I made Efreeti out of these (removing the bandana, extra torso and hook) Not to mention the orcs that I made with this piece: So, actually, my thoughts are that these are stealing the spot for a Fantasy Era-like theme, that would save my day. My 2p.

Oh if that happens...

I am a castle AND pirates fan. And when the pirates came out in 2015, I bought 3x every set. I own 7 chessboards. 4 ships. And so on. On the other hand, every year I buy some sets from other themes but never that many! That's my point. As a castle/pirate fan I can also of course buy other stuff, but only because I find something interesting (City: the black bear and the beehive) but not for all the pieces. Say, 10%, 15%, the rest is not that useful and goes often on bricklink for sale. Instead, if they did castle/pirate back, I'd buy sets for 100% of the pieces inside the set. I believe that one of the three themes space/pirate/castle should be procuded every year. I'd push for pirate/castle but I'd find space appealing too.

Now I can say that this series to me is the worst of all 18 in the terms of what I myself will buy, which are 10x dragons, 3 or 4 cactus, and MAYBE one extra spider. But that's all. Though I can surely understand the appeal those minifigures may have on other buyers, and though I surely like most of the new mold and understand the price increase for this one series in particular (not understood for series 17 instead), I really hope they return to normal classic minifigure series (at least 1!!!) for 2019. This minifigure: to me is more interesting than the whole 17 proposed. And I seldom buy city sets, if never. Too bad :)

Hello, I am thinking a new formula to refresh the game. Please tell me your opinion in the poll.

I won't run the third game.

Some considerations some of you may find interesting. 1) If they wanted to do a Castle wave for the next year after seeing that NK has bad sales... they are late. From scratch to shelves it takes more than one year. So if they thought to have castle themes, they would have already started at least the ideation process. Which may be true of course 2) Having a lunch with some interesting people at TLG, they seem to know very well that we love historic themes, and they say they would love too to see such themes. But since we are not the target... that's it.

However, they were all three different shades of yellow. But making a FOURTH different shade of yellow...they can, but it will look very similar to at least one of the previous three.

Thanks as usual!

Hello, I'm getting crazy because I have to work on an apple computer and I have to do a lot of renders of LXF models... but I can't find a sofware able to do the job. POVRay seems unable. Bluerender simply doesn't work. I'm stuck, and that's really important. I hope that I missed something and you can help me!

I probably will. You were fantastic and this deserves all the attention we can give it. I'm posting an article on it on my blog.

I don't like this wave overall. I may be interested in the Dragon Suit Guy provided he hasn't a zip painted in the rear, but that's all. I may also be interested in: Spider Legs provided they're not one piece with the headgear The new mouse The Unicorn Shield And I find interesting the cactus girl and the flower girl. I think this will save me a lot of money.

I think you may vote the rest. On the other hand, on 17 players only, 18 including me, I think it's not worth to start a game.

I will probably write again on it, it was funny!

I'm in this number! :)

Not much love :D

I saw the HP list. No dementor. I'm officially sad.
