    I hope the alternate build in the like Caravan or Pirate Ship is a building of some sort, sets are large enough for that for sure. But of course a full residential house would've been nicer in that subject.

    Waffle house likely use that newer 1x1 waffle tile seen in the Upside Down and Chinese New Year Temple. Also Garden sounds interesting. Beach Houses are usually nice as well.

    Modern day Shaolin monks wear loose pants and sneakers as well which, with belt really has vibes of martial arts. Reminds me a lot of the Diablo 3 Monk , giant necklace, cloth belt, beard etc.

    3-4 years yes, 2006 instead of 2007 tho . So it's been 4 , 3 , 3 , 4 year inbetween in 2020.

    I hope there's more, no mention of people packs Also Ski Resort came later in 2019.

    Even if it's Leaf, it looks like a cool bigfig, a Fantasy theme without too much technology/vehicles would work for me. I liked Nexo Knights, and can appreciate the Chima location sets, but personally don't want a 3rd big vehicle/mech focused theme in a row (alongside Ninjago). Something more like 2007-2009 Castle style, which had multiple factions, with Dwarves, Humans, Trolls, Skeletons.

    The big Bead Necklace has some Shaolin/Buddhist Monk vibes to it. (also often seen in Games/Cartoons with asian/monk influences) Just Blizzard alone has 3 different franchises with monks using big bead necklaces , just look for Diablo 3 Monk, World of Warcraft Monk sets or Zenyatta from Overwatch. Also a cloth sash/belt which might further pointing to Martial Arts. So I'm not 100% ruling out Ninjago yet. But not going to speculate too much on 1 figure.

    I just hope it's actual tiles/plates and not technic panels like the Sea Cow set, so it can be used creatively in the alternate builds.

    So basicly Divers (2015) and Airport (2016) revisted, okay then. Passenger Airplanes and larger Ships been missing from City for a while.

    I did like the Pirate Treehouse set from 2018, gave a bit of a taste what they can do with the theme, but that set only had 260 pieces. A large set sounds far more promising for sure.

    Some of those 3-in-1 large sets had fantastic builds, I hope Caravan is the succesor of the 2016 Vacation Getaways, that set was one of the best sets turning a Camper into a Boat into a House. If one of the alternate builds is a house, even better Pirate Ship also sounds great, brick built sails instead of fabric just means potential nice alternate builds. This 2018 Pirate Treehouse set only had 260 parts and was pretty creative already , €100 hopefully has like 1000+ parts.

    So before the Clickits memes start, let's remind us of the actual good version of Scala from 1979/1980. So this is basicly Scala 1.0 - Remastered, 40 years later. I predicted a theme using tiles earlier and the Logo even made that more certain. And I mean this type of Scala , not the late 90s "Barbie" version. I remember having the parts of set 308, used those tiles many years later still for decorations. 1979 : 2020 : https://brickset.com/article/48625/lego-dots-official-images Also love the other sets and parts packs for sure, great way to get 1x1 curved tiles and prints.

    Great post . Interesting that some torsos are different due to lack of back printing. I was just in a LEGO store today for the first time ever so didn't pay that much attention to each torso, but did see some of those. There also were a lot of blue skis everywhere so seeing accessories was kinda hard. I didn't make figures myself yet but will return.

    Those top pictures certainly capture a different era, before Licensed and oversized boxes. Many different vehicles being sold as single small boxes , many Town Buildings on shelves. Basic being just that, really basic about mostly a few colors, but very useful to expand on other themes. Castle and Space using different backgrounds makes them immediately noticable as well, the yellow sky for Castle and the black Space. I do see those sets which were new in 1986 : 1987 introduced Futuron and Blacktron and Forestmen , based on not seeing those it most likely is 1986.

    Even within Europe there are different publishers for the UK, German and Dutch, and I think there's a Polish version as well In NL we get just 1 miniset per magazine, but I remember getting cards for something once via a non-Ninjago magazine, maybe that was just a 1-time promo. But I've seen pictures of other European version of magazines that come with 2 minisets (maybe they get less frequent magazines?) Also packaging varies between country, seen in the Legacy version of the Magazine : Polybag style : Blister pack Style :

    The red/white pirate torso. They also had the striped torso from the Fun Fair but that has thinner stripes and white arms.

    Even if this happens, I'm not gonna be mad , rumors are just that, and some gaming rumours lasted years if not decades by now for some franchises and never happened . Gaming also taught me not to be hyped until actual critical reviews AFTER the product comes out, and also not to be hyped about quotes like "game launch was bad but we'll fix it"
  18. TeriXeri
    Well, they mention Creator so hopefully some news about more 3-in-1 Buildings. Of course LEAF has more anticipation for me, especially if it involves potential Castle/Pirates.

    Did see some sets like the Mail Plane, Police Box, Safari Jeep in the LEGO Amsterdam store, but so far they aren't sold in other retailers it seems (other 2020 City sets are already available at ~15-20% off online) Police Box is nice but still think €45 is too much when other sets could potentially reach 35-40% off, sometimes even a bit more for Police Station.
  20. TeriXeri
    Was in the Amsterdam Store today. No cats or dogs , lots of rats, some bats and lobsters, and lots and lots of blue skis filling that accesoires section. I also saw some of those knights Crusader shields but those were part of the more expensive custom minifig station, I don't know the policy on that , but it's pretty much right next to the BAM towers. But I will come back more often in the future, having a store fairly close (45 minute) isn't bad at all compared to how it used to be before when the nearest store was Belgium or Germany.

    Also saw that red/white striped torso in the Amsterdam BAM today.

    True. So thinking of the 1990 Safari Off-Roader release in 2020 been looking at some early 90s sets : The big stand-out would be a restaurant, but Friends released this one very recently in Summer 2019 : That said the 1990 airplane does look timeless next to the mailplane. 1990 also was the year of those Racers : Now trying to find sets that we Don't have now , going beyond just 1990 certainly would be sets like this : Harbors (both 1991) , also 9 years since the last one in 2011 , as said before, potential good use for the magnet piece. Marina (we have a Diving yacht and a 2020 race boat but no marina to go with it) , also 9 years since the last one in 2011 , 2011 also had a Race Boat on a truck. Surf Shack (1993) , many surfboards in sets recently, but only 1 surfer with sail in the 2017 People Pack, the logo is still used on 2017 figure in that color, and 2019 figure in a more "Miami Vice" pink variant.

    At this point I'm more likely to get like multiples of 3-in-1 sets like Toy Store on sale, and then make a street with that template, depending on summer 2020 sets. Even LEGO seems to encourage that with their technic-pin holes between each build. Even the alternate builds have those double pin-holes in the same slot, and both 2019/2020 3-in-1 sets are 12-deep even with all the alternate builds. At least it's an alternative to the Expert Modulars in the way the connect and form a street (if you don't mind open-backs), and with some modification also could connect to sets like Corner Deli.
  24. TeriXeri
    Love this scale , not that I dislike the modular sets, they are just too big for my shelves so I have mostly 3-in-1 buildings. Nice custom builds as well for sure.

    I don't have a wide layout myself, mostly just shelves, so this looks good. But I just built the New Years sets as well and I love them, especially the temple "buildings" look great, fit right in with 3-in-1 scale buildings to look pretty impressive next to it, the Temple building being 32 wide.
