Yes, Dream Village is the only lego-exclusive set from the first wave of Dreamzzz Sets. So the only one I have to order from lego (already preordered some of the sets with a 15% discount and some nice goodies). The potential Z-Blob GWP Set isn`t that spectacular bceause if you buy some of the sets, you already get some copies of the Figs. But nonetheless nice to have if the threshold for it isn`t that high. But otherwise, I have the good situation here in Germany that most of the Polybags can be ordered from sites like jb-spielwaren. So no need to spend too much money on the lego site. :-)

He says it will be an exclusive bigfig because of a new print (he didn`t specify it anymore). So the bigfig you saw in the video was like all other figs he showed just a placeholder. :-)

Pre-ordered 71461: Fantastical Tree House and 71469: Nightmare Shark Ship. Both look like a good deal on their own, but I get them from jb-spielwaren with a 15% discount and some nice goodies. Looking forward to august and I`m sure to get some more of the sets like 71459, 71453-71457. ^^

Even with double VIP Points it is still 500€ - you only get 50€ discount on your next purchase. ;) Im so tempted to buy the set for 440€ in germany, but I will wait a little bit longer.^^

Yesterday, the first Shop in Germany had the set listed for 440€. Today, another Shop for 435€. So it doesn`t seem that far fetched to get the Set for around 400€ in the near future. That is the time where I buy it in an instant!

Also waiting for the next promo with double points. Of the new wave I really want all sets, buty beacuase other themes also have great sets, I may at least cut down on the Airship.

I`m just interested in the Dinos I don`t already have, so it`s just the Brachio. But in no world I`m gonna pay the full price at Lego.com! Waiting for at least 30% off, just like for all the other JW Sets I bought in the past years.^^

Here in germany, even with exclusive sets, we can hope for Galeria and especially Smyths for great deals. 20-30% discounts aren`t THAT rare, even with new sets.

I*ll wait for the inevitable discounts on the sets. Some seem to offer good value for money, other just feel way to expensive. But give it a few weeks or months and I`m sure you can get alle the sets with at least a 25% discount. That will be my time to move.^^

Of course I`ll wait for a good GWP and double VIP. And if it doesn`t come this year, then I`ll wait till next year, easy. Really wanting that set, but in no universe I can justify the price without good side-deals.^^

There are a plethora of base plates available, just from other brands, but with equal quality - or even stackable. So there are options right now, of course sites like bricklink would also work.^^

I have seen this set at a friend`s house and boy, this is the perfect Avengers Tower! Huge building with many details for a low price, what`s not to love? The new Lego Tower must be measured by it imo. ;-)

Just got 80040 and 80041 delivered the other day - cant wait to build them! Oh, and I got the new big MK Mecha, but that will have to wait until I have enough time to build it in a relaxing manner.^^

For now, this is the most disappointing Lego Year in a long time - at least when it comes to licensed themes (in my opinion). Nothing interesting in Star Wars, nothing in Marvel, LotR only gets one super expensive Set... Fingers crossed for the second half of the year. Looking on the bright side: Lots of money saved!

Would still wait for a better offer, 100% off still doesn`t speak to me...

Motorised something and 6+ figures and even then the price would be ridiculous! But because of that I`m very interested in the first pictures of the set.^^

That Brachio Head really looks great. Rest of the dino... meh. Still can`t get over that huge gap you can see from nearly every angle.

You do realize that Rivendell, like every other big Lego Set, will at least be available for two to three years? You could have bought the skull dragon and then take yout time to save the spent $55 in the next couple of months.^^

Normally I`m not into statues or anything in that direction but man, this looks amazing! Really loving it!

No FOMO here, I`ll wait for a good GWP and double VIP points, then Rivendell will be much more attractive. ;-)

Obviously there are some "black sheeps" but clearly you don`t have that much knowledge about other companies, seeing you generalizing every other company. Here in germany we have bluebrixx for example, which has the star trek license and has already dropped some waves of sets, which are beloved by fans. Or castle Blaustein with some extensions, truly a marvellous castle: https://www.bluebrixx.com/de/neuheiten/102818/Burg-Blaustein-BlueBrixx-Special And then there are a myriad of other manufacteurs with original Ideas. But yeah, everyone is just stealing. But not Lego, with their Ideas-Project - oh wait.

Just bought the Morbius Mobile - what a neat little set! Found it for 15,79€, at this price I just couldn`t resist.^^

Sooo.... you can wait till its back and maybe is available at retailers with a nice discount? Why the hurry? Honest question, I was never able to understand why I have to own a set the moment it is available? If I get it half a year later for a lower price there is nothing I missed... with the upside of having money saved.^^

For the time being we dont know if there will be any discounts for the LotR Set. When there will be a discount, I can compare the sets equally.^^ So then: Hogwarts Castle for 400, LotR for 500. Hogwarts is the better Set and has better value - for me. :-D

Why not compare Lego Sets? I try not to compare Lego Sets to non-Lego sets beacuse then Lego could never win.^^ But for me, the feeling of what you get for your money is important too. So I compare Sets. Do you have tje City Gardens? It has many details in every regard, a fun building experience and looks stunning. And it cost me only 230€ with a discount. My biggest set is Hogwarts Castle, bought at 330€ - soooo...? This (license) Set feels way too expensive (as I wrote in my first post, I really like it, but the price...). I love it that we finally get a new LotR Set, but Lego knows how to grab the cash of die-hard fans, releasing only one big set with a price beyond good and evil. That is my only real criticism. Even with applying Lego standards, 500€ is too much. But I`m repeating myself.^^
