    But if English isn't the poster's first language, they might not realize that. The real question, then, is whether the Librarian makes allowances for language barriers.

    Oh NO that ghost lady is SO CUTE!

    Very nice! I have a special affinity for bees and I love seeing bee-related MOCs!

    1,000 pieces isn't enough for a very satisfying Stable, IMHO. But you know what would fit in that piece count with plenty to spare for side builds? A Guardian, with Creator-style alt-builds for the different kinds. I seriously thought a Guardian battle would be the first set we'd get if they ever went for LoZ, since it's easily the "signature situation" of Breath of the Wild.

    Depends on the language you speak. In some languages the same word is used for both ape and monkey.

    Smilodon cub...

    I don't have a guess, but I do want to note that this year's City Advent Calendar includes a minifig in a polar bear costume. Whether this makes a different bear costume more or less likely is left as an exercise for the reader.

    My question is, how would you be able to tell that a given set was for the Mario movie specifically as opposed to being just for Mario overall? The movie was kind of a perfect distillation of Mario content, and the LEGO theme is trying to cover all the bases.

    Now that we're getting minifigure sets for some of the classic animated films, I've been thinking about how to continue that trend in a way that really pops. My favorite idea that I've come up with so far is a Pinocchio set that is actually a working wall-mounted cuckoo clock, with character minifigures as the "cuckoo." Ideally there would be several different configurations: a single character that pops out on the hour, a little miniature parade around the front of the clock, etc.

    TYPO ALERT!

    Bringing this back because someone beat me to it: Epic Brick Adventures is pretty close to what I had in mind, though with enough differences that I might use it as a basis for my own concept.

    However, some or all of them might be anthro animal characters re-using AC head molds.
  14. Karalora
    A possibility no one seems to have brought up yet is anthropomorphic animal characters. Thanks to Animal Crossing they have a lot of head molds to play with.

    Licensing conditions can be weird. There's certainly an incentive for the licensee to say "Promise you will only sell this animal in sets with our branding" in order to strengthen the public perception of a connection between that animal and their franchise. If LEGO starts producing the animal for the license when they didn't previously, they don't have much reason not to agree. They recoup the cost of the license by selling more of the licensed sets; if they can get people who wouldn't otherwise care to buy one just for the exclusive animal, as far as they're concerned that's a win-win.

    Ultimately of course, we are going to have to adjust our expectations regarding PPP just due to regular inflation. We've been cruising at a rough ten cents per piece for a very long time and the main driver of price increases has been that the sets themselves are getting larger on average. But sooner or later, the PPP itself is going to have to go up across the board.

    I kind of feel like the entire Mario theme has been a years-long lead-up and then tie-in to the Mario movie and inclusion at Universal theme parks. The movie was the biggest boost to Mario's visibility probably since the release of the Nintendo 64 console. In that regard, any Zelda sets, including the one we have and the one we are presumably getting next year, could be considered tie-ins.
  18. Karalora
    At the rate things are going, there's also a decent chance we get sets tying into the live-action movie that's set to release in 2027.
  19. Karalora
    You would think, but then they don't clutch. That set came out right at the peak of the "brittle brown" problem.

    Eh, it was worth a shot! I'm planning to get the new Haunted House this year and (probably) finally retire the Monster Fighters Haunted House I put up every Halloween. Every year, it seems a few more parts crack and have to be replaced.

    Great design! I would totally buy the instructions if they were posted to Rebrickable!
  22. Karalora
    Dark red and sand blue would be good.

    Flamingos vs. different-shade-of-pink flamingos, like my Flamingo Wars theme idea.

    Truly the depth of our tragedy is unmatched in human history...

    This is precious! I love all the details! Great portal effects with the microscale locations!
