Itaria No Shintaku

I don't know if this has been mentioned before, but the goat is still a mystery to me. When they do a new mold, they usually use it a lot, that is, mostly if the mold is interesting and has several uses. To me, the goat which appears just in 7189 Mill Village Raid, and is sold at paces like >15€ on bricklink, is still a mystery, because I found it very useful and interesting, and while the chicken has been used again, the goat hasn't. So, what do you think about this?

Aren't we getting too far? List for sets and we haven't even confirmed castle for 2016? I reckon there's a lot of hype but... isn't this a bit too much?

A mummy is going to happen.

This is the second game they make, and that's the second flop. I thought that wasn't possible but I got bored after few hours.

Hello, I was very interested in knowing what people thought about TLC plans for 2016 so I prepared this very little poll. I would be happy to know your opinion. Thank you everybody.

I can confirm. Fantasy era brought me back from the dark age. Fantasy Era 2, or whatever, would be my total best theme. I would run out of money in zero time.

Err... no they are Mind Flayers, a very well know creature in the D&D universe.

Hail the mind flayers.

No, I can confirm, no more LOTR/HOBBIT sets. If Mr. Jackson does the Silmarillion as he is intending to, we will probably get those. In the meantime surely we will see another fantasy castle themed. But WHEN, this is uncertain. 2016 could be a dream, but nobody knows for sure. The trend to keep fantasy creatures in the CMF theme is a little hope. Let's see. I am confident.

I don't mean to be mean, but it's no surprise, it's always been like this, since series 1.

Sorry but meh. I respect anyone's opinion though!

What I've learned from this Pirate wave is that it's very, very blending with the first 1989's wave. I'm not too excited just because I always keep my feet on the ground, because if this rumour is true, I would have to save a big, big amount of money for 2016. Really, since I was in the dark age in 2007-2008 and I went out just in 2009, but I had very few money so I wasn't able to buy all those magnificent Fantasy Era sets (though I managed to get a lot afterwards, but less than I needed). So before raising my cup, I see there are four ways to me this is going to end. 1) The rumour is fake You know how this goes. A TLG employees says something (perhaps: he says ELVES, which we actually have) and the storekeeper hears it his way (WOW A CASTLE LINE WITH A LOT OF ELVES AND OTHER FANTASY CREATURES) and then we have mistranslations, misunderstandings, etc. 2) Rumour is legit, but it's your typical Castle wave. Everybody chill out. Usual castle, usual tower, usual wagon, not that I dislike, but meh. 3) Fantasy era is back. You see it coming. Elves, dwarves, orcs, bingo! A total seller among AFOLs, a total seller among TFOLs. 4) Classic castle reboot. Brace yourselves. Are we getting a meaning for this? Who knows? Ok I said I was keeping my feet on the ground and now I'm not. But... you know...

I see a lot of disappointment. I am not disappointed even if I will probably have little or no use for this minifigures. It just gives me to think that maybe they are refreshing this theme turning onto themed series, which is good to me, because instead of focusing on 3/4 minifigures per series that I need, I will be able to focus on either zero, or all, depending on how much the theme does appeal me. As a castle/pirate lover, this theme has very low appeal on me, but maybe I'll grab some extra. Nevertheless I'm fine with it.

This witch is going to sport a shirt.

What do you think? Does it look like an orc?

In this series I even liked the city minifigure.

Here: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=89501 you can find a MOC I did with part of my army. I have an horde of orcish like creatures, those are my favourites.

I have approx 2000 fantasy minifigures, those goblins are just the last newcomers. I love collecting minifigures.

Here many stores have even 4 boxes, so this means 20 goblins for me. I look for two spherical items on first instance, then believe me or not, I find it easy to find the cylinder on the sack that helps a minifigure to get it in its hand. Also the unique headgear helps me. BTW this is my guide, I have written many before. Evil wizard - only one with a slope Hot dog guy - easy headgear Space Marine - bulky armor Samurai - armor, less bulky + 2 easily recognizable swords Alien - rubber head Sheriff - easy headgear, tile 2 x 2 Dancer - small skates, very easy to find Snake charmer - rubber snake Egyptian - big shield Paleontologyst - big headgear with a ponytail King - not very easy, unique headgear - sword Goblin - as I told Carpenter - tile 1 x 4 Unicorn girl - unique headgear Fencer - not very easy, sword Cyclops - mace These may sound very very cheap advices, but this is what I do. I pick the bag, and start feeling it, looking for the headgear. If it's spherical or similar, I assume it is either the marine helmet, or the fencer headgear, or the snake charmer headgear, or the cyclops head, or the unicorn girl head. If that's not spherical, I may already know what it is. If that's spherical I go for the accessory. For the marine, it's the armor. For the fencer it's the sword For the snake charmer it's the snake or the flute, the one I find first. For the cyclops it's the club. For the unicorn girl it's the tail. Once I get the confirm, the minifigure is identified. If the headgear is not easily foundable, perhaps it's near to the 3x4 modified plate, or to the catalog and it's pressed and I have no time to move it, I shift body, legs, and hair to find what's next. If it's a small piece, like the diva skates, or the sheriff's gun, it's done. Often I also find easy to recognize the King's beard, or the evil wizard's one. It just depends, when one lego parts is under my fingers, I just feel it on both the sides of the bag, and if I have no confirm within 3/4 seconds, I just put the bag away and go on. I will find it later.

Felt them from blind bags. 46 and counting. In Italy they do not open minifigures in stores. I bought exactly 46 bags for those (I also have 7 space marines and so on) I have 100% ratio in feeling bags since series 3.

Liking those goblins... 46 so far...

I like them goblins...

Agreed. Nor there's any particoular need.

Series 8 was really poor Series 8 was really poor.

Series 13 is the best for me, many interesting figs, and the GOBLIN is the best minifigure they did. TWO accessories, the rare sack/bag, and a perfect olive green fantasy evil creature for my horde.
