Elves book? <excited>

Oh that's lovely, the ship is a fantastic set :) And if only I could sew! I'd spend far too much money on making game of thrones costumes ;) (actually my lovely, wonderful mother in law can sew, I really must ask her to teach me)

Couldn't agree more, OmShanti :) having only just come out of my "dark ages" to be there for the beginning of this theme is very exciting, and I hope we get more episodes this year (the thought of possible winter sets being in said episodes has me really excited). My girls would be beyond happy to have more episodes to watch also, I can't count how many times they've watched the first.

Wow! Thanks for posting that, that's amazing :)

Also just realised that the instruction booklets have some pretty nice images on them :)

Oh yes, I would definitely buy this!

Well that was just mean!

Am thinking I might take some screenshots of the movie to try and recreate Elvendale as much as I can, as well as making the treehouse bigger. Have a passing fancy I might build Emily's house as well...but probably not! I am really interested to see where this theme will go, it seems to be selling well.

I know they are flowers (IRL I'm a lab manager, and one of my sisters has an honours degree in Botany), just thought it was cute :)

I just realised there are real life purple LEGO elves trees: jacarandas :) http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacaranda

I agree much more foliage is needed - will have to Bricklink some, I think!

Aww thanks, OmShanti! Yes, I will be having my not quite 4-year old twin girls 'helping', no doubt!

Yep - this is what I am thinking might be my Easter project! (I've never attempted mod-ing sets in this way before)

Hmm, maybe two extra sets made into one much larger treehouse, to add to the first one would work? (thinking aloud)...

Looks like there are plenty of the Elves fence elements on Bricklink!

Oh that would be wonderful if VIPs got them early!

Whoops! Sorry, I meant the Elves Treetop Hideaway I am impatiently waiting for the summer sets!

I'm seriously considering getting a second Treetop Sanctuary, to make it a bit more 'village-like'... good idea? Not sure ho/if I will mod it much though, it's such a well put-together set...

Farrans crystal hollow finally arrived yesterday, so the girls and I built it, such a lovely set with beautiful pieces :) My twins are not quite four yet but they love this theme, and loved the show as well (found it on YouTube). Now to wait for the awesome summer sets...

Oh please do post photos! In was a bit dubious about this theme in the beginning, but now I love it! (I also collect modulars, so it;s a fair departure from that! )

Built all of the sets but Farran's on the weekend - am seriously impressed with the playability and design of them - I hope this theme really picks up!

Oh, I'm definitely going to get 1 or 2 playmats now!

Ah, rats! <impatient>

I am really looking forward to the release of the summer sets - does anyone know when this is likely to be? (hopefully not as far away as August...)

Ok I've caved and ordered all the sets
