Just watching a Lego video that has mentioned the Bricklink set 910058 Sequoia Tree Trail .. the trees in this set made me think that Lothlorien could be possible 😁

Everyone remember the Ideas Challenge they help "Exploring the World of Middle Earth" where the Grand Prize winners were Gandalf Rides to Minas Tirith for the scene section and Lothlorien for the location section and the runners up were the Argonath and Gollum and the Forgotten Pool .. this challenge was a couple of years ago now .. are the rumours possibly the start of something from this challenge forthcoming ??? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Supported 👍🏼 I love this. It's something that surprises me that Lego has never dipped its toe in that water with. The details are fantastic. The layout and furniture are fantastic. On seeing your lineup I immediately thought I'd prefer the largest model, but on reflection I think the 'Ideas' model is just perfect. It would be a far cry from my usual sets that I collect and they're varied, but I'd certainly add this to my collection ( depending on how much Lego altered it 🙄 ) .. somewhere perfect for minifigure me to live 😁 Best of luck 👍🏼

@Shiva I'm inclined to agree with you .. as much as the original idea was good, I much prefer this. The original was a bit disjointed to me, the Oompa Loompas didnt fit as they were from the original movie and the kids and the base / scenery was from the Depp version. The Depp version was ok, but I'm a 70's kid and I prefer the original, I might pick this up when there's a double points event on perhaps.

The boat seems to be included, you can see the canopy in one of the pics in the usual places 😁 EDIT : Wonder if the boat might be a GWP for the set ??

I appreciate that Lego have catered to us Wicked fans that wanted minifigures I really do ... BUT .. and it's slightly nit picking .. I honestly don't understand how a massive company like Lego miss the mark on so many little things ? Who signed off on Toto being represented by an Alsatian puppy ? They should have just recoloured the dog mould they used for Toto last time, in the movie he's a terrier of some sort. Nice Dorothy minifigure, although without a proper skirt piece it looks like shes wearing gingham dungarees. The new skirt piece from The Shire would have been perfect I think, perhaps not so great to print on though. I'll be picking the minifigure sets up and possibly the Castles set too.

Loving the minifigures, but bookends ??? 🙄🤷🏻‍♂️

Yes, Disney is what came to mind where they've done both minidolls and minifigures of the same characters.

Because there's call for it 🙄 They've done it with other themes before too. I just want some official Wicked minifigs 😁

They're gonna be minidolls again aren't they .. I have this uneasy feeling 😢

Yeah the 'real' one that leaked and not the 'Friends" version 🙄 Was also thinking they could do an Ursula's Lair with the cauldron and the garden etc, the Evil Queen could have the magic mirror, but with all the surrounding architecture and a throne. Captain Hook's would probably have to be the Jolly Roger ship. There'd be plenty to chose from.

Wonder if this set will be the fist in a Disney Villains theme ?

I really like Cruella's car, wonder if they'll give her the manic / crazy face on the reverse ?? 😳

I'll never understand why Lego won't seem to produce pieces in a specific colour to match the general colour of a particular part of the build. My main point is the wrist joints on the Balrog, they're kinda jarring in light blue grey. Make them in black Lego .. you HAVE the capability to. 🙄

It's fan made, but Danny Breton has really outdone himself with this interpretation of Glinda from No One Mourns The Wicked .. this is beautiful. https://www.instagram.com/p/DI9DTBppujN/?img_index=3
