Always nice to see a more Middle-Eastern style castle. Keep it up.

Effective.

Will do, I'm curious about that myself. Getting a little bored waiting for info (If you couldn't tell) . I've been waiting 3 years for some good sets, and now that we know there will finally be new sets, time seems to slow down.

I'm going to go to the Lego store sometime in the next week to take advantage of the double VIP points. I'm also going to see if the store manager I talked to in January is there so I can check to see if he has seen anything new. Anybody have any questions that they would like me to ask him?

Looking at the concept art for the Castle of Morcia in comparison to the final product is mind-blowing. How did such a cool looking design end up getting reduced to a small, blocky facade?

Nice review, Whitefang! Personally, I think this set is okay, but it looks a lot like other Ninjago sets that came before it.

You have to be really dedicated to build something that big and detailed. Stunning.

Woah, great job all around! I have no idea how you did the windows, but they look wonderful.

I think that the mods do a great job to keep this site clean and respectful, but the more exposure a site gets, the more likely it is for these things to happen. EB is a very well known site in the Lego community. Good and bad changes come with the popularity. On the plus side, there are new users joining every day who want to contribute to and enjoy this site. However, there are also people who come here to advertise and act like little kids. I once saw that someone had dug up a six year old thread just to post an ad for hand lotion. The mods here are good at what they do, but you can't expect them to be perfect.

I honestly don't think that the sets will make it past June. After a movie is out of cinemas, Lego tends to pull all products related to it off the shelves quickly to make way for new products. I don't think the wave sold too well, anyway.......

Read the thread from the first page Also, I'm pretty sure that the combo of :Castle 07-Kingdoms-Castle 13 probably outsold or were on par with the combo of SPIII-AQ-GS. City is a giant theme, and I think the only theme that has more sales than City is Star Wars. Castle, Space, Pirates, and City used to all be Lego's evergreen themes, but Pirates has turned into a once in a half-decade thing and City has gone way above.

I think that a zombie faction could be made as long as they all have the same shield. The only "new" weapons would be the shields, making it possible to have different torsos but still look like they are part of the same faction. Additionally, some of the older factions look similar and kids wouldn't really bother to distinguish differences in insignias (some don't even have one) among the torsos.

I'm a 1x1 with 4 knobs, but I don't know how to add that into my signature.

The SNOT build on the iceberg is really nice. Good job

Sammael, what kind of Lego employees do you talk to? Regular store workers or someone higher up?

^ How much do you know?

I keep all of my sets assembled, but I use the figures in other MOCs. I chose the last option because while I like making my own creations, the certain charm that a Lego set creates is enough for me to buy it for everything inside.

Nice alternate build! It's always interesting to see what someone can make using only the parts from one set, and I think you pulled it off.

Durins Bane, you said before (I think) that your store manager was going to a meeting in March, did he go?

I'm aware it's a rumor, and I appreciate your advice. However, I'm not sure I understand why people seem reluctant to find info. If people want more info, they should make an effort to find some, right? How about we P.M. some people you think have "contacts" and ask them to inquire about this rumor? That seems like a reasonable way to get info and it would leave everyone happy. I, for one, dread flame wars and don't like to be involved in them. I didn't want to start one, I was just curious why everyone doubted me (and the others). I am not angry at anyone here, and trust me when I say that. I think that we should make skeptics into believers and try to find out more info following what I said above. That would be a great way to get this thread back on topic.

^Those fire harnesses are coming out along with three sets in the summer. After that, Chima will be discontinued.

I would like to set the record straight here. Thetang22, I don't take offense to what you or SMC said. I was only attempting to tell you guys that I am in no way stretching the truth or lying in what I have said. I do understand that it is not set in stone that there will be a theme next year, but I like to have hope. Also, SMC, why don't you go and ask a store employee about Castle sets? That way, this thread would actually have rumors in it so it can suit your needs. I'm sure that if everyone here did that, we could piece together a general idea of what will be coming out next year.

This "If you aren't an insider you know nothing" stereotype I see around here really bugs me. Just because I'm not someone who digs down deep to find info doesn't mean I'm wrong. You probably don't know anyone else here personally (or have seen them in person for that matter), but yet you trust one anonymous user more than another? Your excuse could be "But they've been right before!". Well, everyone has to start somewhere, right? Another fact is that these reports have actually come from multiple continents. It's not just one person. So how about you go out and ask someone "In the know" about this and see what they think, If you're so worried about us being wrong. Also, one of these "In the know" people would have had to have heard their rumors from another person, right? Therefore, the people who say rumors here are insufficient simply because it's a He Said She Said deal are incorrect. All sources here get their rumors from someone higher up. Unless a leaker here heard something form Knudstorp himself, it must be wrong, right? I'm sorry if that sounded harsh, but there was no other way to get that across. Please understand.

When is the cutoff date for this review period again? April?
