  1. Also Hyppos and Rhynos would be fantastic. I still have no personal reasons why they NEVER did such.
  2. No it doesn't. If they make more animals I'll be the most pleased! I think they're so close to make an actual lion...
  3. Thanks guys. Well a Wilder Wonka is on stage, but LEGO needs to approve the update, which you can do only monthly so I need to wait and see.
  4. Ok here it is. All the stunt bikes will have pullback so kids can really play and make them jump into loops or the like. The slopes for making them jump are indeed new bulky pieces. 60293 has the new road parts, the other have not. That one was on insta months ago.
  5. You can't unless you are a seller.
  6. I will look at. Personally those sets are not my cup of tea so I didn't pay much attention tbh
  7. Yes it has Some of them are in. Harry Potter - City - Minions - Disney - Friends - Duplo - Dots The rest are just placeholders.
  8. I've not the pictures handy, but for what I recall the slopes are new parts, big and bulky, but i may be wrong.
  9. No problems guys. I love to help. I can't share pictures or much detailed stuff as these things are confidential (even if in my pictures it doesn't state that, let's be cautious for EB's good)
  10. Yes, actually we just think that this way we're just slowing down too much. Let's hope to have some expolits.
  11. Yes, the account is inactive and I know the reason, the staff mistook a message for self-promotion, which is forbidden and I acknowledge that, and we're explaining them that they just mistook our intentions. However seems that we will be inactive for 11 days again (10 business days ending Feb 21).
  12. Well I have three elephants from OE and though they are really nice IMHO, they all sufer the fact that the legs are really really loose and I didn't play them a lot... it's a problem I saw in every elephant I have heard from.
  13. Yes sorry the new molds are the small monkey and the two elephants.
  14. Course they aren't, they're all in the usual flesh tones.
  15. I wanted to share my experience with you. During the Covid I was forced to stay home a lot more than usual and then I decided to join LEGO Ideas with a project that you can find in my signature. It was well received and I had the push I needed to believe in it and then starting really advertising for it within my friends. But in the meantime I noticed some things that I do not like a lot about the ideas project and I will share them with you so that you may help me with your opinions. 1) Staff Picks. I really do not like Staff Picks. It's nice as the idea per se, but the effect is really surprising. The staff picked projects get a boost in visibility and hence in votes that changes totally the lifespan of the project. Projects that had 10 20 votes per day once picked were insanely boosted up to 400 votes per day. That is too much of a difference, showing that people will vote what they see, not what they really like, because the project has been there all the time, simply it wasn't that visible. 2) Cheating. It's very easy to cheat on the ideas platform. But in a sneaky way. You don't cheat directly on ideas, but you can use bots or programs to upvote your project in social medias like reddit, facebook or the like. When your project is very visible, it will draw a lot of attention and a lot of votes. I will not call names, that's not stylish and fair, but I've seen projects who get an insane amount of "likes/upvotes" on different social media platforms which cannot simply happen because the project is good. I have analyzed similar projects on similar plaftorms in the same time spans and I noticed very suspiscious activities. 3) It's stressful. Believe me, it is. There are days in which you gather 200 votes without doing anything special, those days you say "Yeah! I can do it". There are days in which though you ask friends for, or you have some spotlights somewhere, you will get 0 votes for hours and you say "No. It's over. I will never make 10k". This rollercoaster is really frustrating. I advice people to join LEGO Ideas only if you have a great deal of patience. I wish to read for your opinions.
  16. Don't get me wrong. The set has a big feline, dark tan like the mountain lion from older sets, and a very common cat. But colours may vary in the final version.
  17. I'd say slightly bigger than their counterparts but it's very difficult to tell by one picture only. If I were to say something, I'd say 10% longer the basilisk, 10% bigger Fluffy. 76389 has even 9 minifigures!
  18. In the catalog there is NO golden figure whatsoever but pictures are preliminar.
  19. This is outstanding.
  20. This also can be used both for a pony and for a juvenile Horse I suppose.
  21. Seems I'm not "former" any more. Alas, the basilisk and Fluffy in the HP sets are brickbuilt, like the Hungarian Horntail or the beasts in the Fantastic Beasts' suitcase. That's a pity.
  22. Well I'm happy to be back but I don't forget the reasons that brought me to take a break from eurobricks. I hope you're happy too not only because I keep on telling you what the future will give you. I'm a guy who's fond of exchanging opinion with foreign people. I even met some of you in person.
