Does someone know whether Lego will present all summer sets in a display at Lego World Copenhagen this weekend like they did the last years? Because this could again give us hints which City Exclusive(s) we'll get. (I honestly doubt that TLG will do because the first time photographing at Nuremberg Toy Fair wasn't allowed and all summer sets weren't shown at NY Toy Fair.)
-
Zusammengebaut reports that at the Nuremberg Toy Fair there was a hint given which clearly leads to the conclusion that this year's Fairground set will be a rollercoaster. Hopefully TLG this time includes some decent sized stalls (shooting gallery, candy stall etc.) - again only a ride would imo not completely satisfying!
-
After having seen all the prelims: I don't know what to think about that kind of go-cart transporter as well as of the go-cart racing area (which looks very, very similar to the training center from this January). Supposably not my cup of coffee because too girlish. Judging the HLC beach center from the small blurry picture is too hard. On the right there is for sure some kind of skids tower, in the middle is a huge entrance and behind all three parts is a "monorail" with somtething which looks like a big, driving shower cubicle. But what's the tower on the left for - some guest rooms? The creative works shop reminds me a bit of the car selling shop with repair station from the City Square from 2015. I really like the garage gate on the left, the showroom downstairs and the glazed office upstairs. For sure this fits well in a city even without the racing area. Is that a very small drive-in cinema on the left side in the snackbar? That snackbar is since long overdue. It's a pity that there's no second floor. But apart from that it does look amazing! But, judging by now, the best set of the whole wave is the accessory shop. The ancient architectual style is simply maginficent!
-
Now that we know that the Creator line offers us "only" the Pirates' Rollercoaster as a fairground set - if you want to, you can count the Fallingwater Show, too - and not a whole theme (like we firstly thought), so then there are still hopes for a Creator Expert fairground set this summer. Imo consequently very likely no rollercoaster.
-
In the leaked retailers catalogue (no new pics of the train sets) there's no station posted. So that's really bad. The only possibility I see is if there was a city center like set for City as a yearly Exclusive, a station might be included there. What do you think? Exactly my opinion!
-
Over in the City topic, @whung gave us a strong hint how to find the pics. Thanks whung! I'm not interested in another new tree house. The monster truck show looks imo much better than expected. I like how decent TLG built the jacht "although" it's "only" a Creator one - really cool and will for sure go very well with all the City and Friends beach sets from the last years! The pastry looks really lovely and is a welcome addition to every City. It's a pity that they added a stairs to the right side. But I like all the details in- and outside. Great!
-
Thank you very much for the info, whung! It's really a pity that we don't get a station (at least not as non-Exclusive). At the moment I still don't know what to think about the Arctic sets. The prelims are too blurry. But that I can already say: Bad is that the majority of the vehicles seems way oversized to me. The good thing is the prehistorical animals, that sort of snow cave and the new heliplane. But the new hospital is far across my expections - a wonderful set! (I don't care about that useless and out of scale heli. I simply won't build it.) Luckily this time there is no helipad on top of the building. I really like it to be three floors big and to be a corner building - great! There seems to be decent interior inside. Plus if we had much luck, the nice ambulance has place for one paramedic. No, regrettably not. The only hope I have is for the yearly exclusive City set where I this year of course await some sort of new city center. And maybe - maybe - there might be a station included. What do you think?

Thank you very much for the link to the pic, bobbybat! That Outdoor Adventures People Pack looks promising! We'll get wandering, climbing, driving through wild water and downhill biking. The inclusion of an eagle is great! I really missed the baby last year and am consequently happy that it returns. I hope that we (in contrast to the beach pack from last year) will get many new faces and torsos - the baby included (if it was again ony white, that would be boring) -, that there will be new mobile phones and that the big “thing“ in the middle will be a tent. Btw: Since TLG doesn't allow pics and descriptions from Nuremberg Toy Fair, I hope that they then will publish a complete sets list and at least one official pic for every set at this month's end!

Thank you very much for all the info and the link to the pics! Although I would have prefered a commuter train instead of a another high speed train, I must say that this new passenger train looks great! The style and colors are perfect and something new and different, I like the comeback of the six studs wide platform (but it again is not at least as long as one carriage) and that two carriages are included (so with two sets you can build up a decent sized train). Plus that new trolley is since long overdue. I only hope that the train's interior will be more elaborated than the ones in the last (non-D2C) ones (two carriages with the same interior would be horrible) - a board bistro in one of the carriages would be perfect! In contrast I've got very mixed feelings about the cargo train: Imo the engine as well as the wood carriage and the mobile train crane look great. Plus I really like the inclusion of the signal tower and the buffer which haven'tbeen seen for a too long time. The forklift and the red container seem to look good, too. But that money transport container (!) with train seems to me to be very unrealistic. Plus we already got a bank van in the Mountain Police theme and even this one in the Trains theme again has no inside wall and the forklift won't be able to place the pallet inside (because the pallet is six studs wide but the van's interior only four studs). Besifes I ask myself with which vehicle the logs and the red container should be transported before and after transportation on track. A bit strange and callow imo. Btw: With these two big trains coming, there should be a train station, too, shouldn't? Or do you think TLG will firstly release it next year?
-
Thank you very much for the info, theevilcrayonbox and welcome to EB! From the description the passenger train doesn't seem to be that interesting. Plus I fear that the platform will again be much too small. But the cargo train sounds great! I have been waiting for a log car and a crane car since many years. Plus an overwatching tower - very likely a small railway control center - is for sure a great addition. I'd assume that both trains are electric trains (and none of them is diesel). Thank you very much for this info, Grrr! I already commented about this in the Friends topic.

Thank you very much for the news, Falconfan1414! Not the best one, but very likely one of the best City themes: When you watch the Brick Show, you know that there'll be a bunch of vehicles included, but only a small station. That's really bad. But I really like TLG for not repeating the old and boring "digging out crystals"-stuff, but bringing a prehistorical aspect to the theme. Mammoth and saber tooth tiger sound amazing! Plus we already know that there'll be an orca included. Even if I didn't buy the sets, I for sure will buy the animals. Btw: For those who got the caveman and cavewoman as CMF or promos some time back, I could imagine a nice prehistoric scenerey together with mammoth and sable tooth tiger. So perhaps Safari Exploration in 2019/2020/2021? That would be amazing!

According to The Brick Show 41347 Heartlake Summer Resort looks similar to the HLC Mall (from 2014) and will contain an elevated train with the new rollercoaster pieces which connect the different parts of the ressort. Very likely the elevated train looks like the one @Aanchir posted.

LEGO Collectable Minifigures Series 18 Rumors and Discussion
Klaus-Dieter replied to Robert8's topic in Special LEGO Themes
Thank you very much for the updated list, Robert8! Apart from that I prefer regular series over themed ones, the minifigure selection sounds very promising! -
According to The Brick Show the set 31085 Fallingwater Show is a stunt show with cars. So it seems as if not all four already known Creator sets for summer will be fairground / amusement park related - perhaps the rollercoaster is even the only one.
-
That's simply amazing, Dix! If TLG released this one for the Winter Village, I'd immediately buy it! I really like how you captured the exact style from all previour Winter Village houses and vehicles and invented and built a great addition.
-
Thank you very much fot the set list, Brick Lover! 41348 til 41351 could be those racing sets. I hope 41344 Andrea's Accessories Store will be minimum 16x16 so I'd have another building for my city. It'd be nice if 41353 TBA (September set) would be another big building (such as theatre, restaurant or disco). But the most excited I'm at the moment about 41347 Heartlake Summer Resort. It could either be a beach with beach bar, changing booth, coast guard watchtower and a beach hut. Or it could be a hotel located at the beach (with pool and beach bar). I hope that the second possibilty will be the set. Thanks for posting the video, Aanchir! I highly doubt that there'll be an elevated Friends train with the new rollercoaster pieces. Firstly the rollercoaster tracks only allow a four studs wide train to drive on it (at least we don't know anything else). Secondly a four studs wide train nowadays wouldn't match with all the huge, mainly six studs wide, vehicles we see in Friends and City. And thirdly: If you'd post a six stud wide train on the rollercoaster tracks, I bet that this would look really strange and unfitting.

Thank you very much for the set lists, Brick Lover and whung! An Outdoor Adventures People Pack sounds great! I hope that TLG learned something from the critics about the contens of the Beach Pack and that they'll now include more interesting accessory and mainly new minifig torsos and heads. And I wish there'll be a tent included. A new hospital? Hm ... we did get one in the Friends theme already last year and that one didn't look too girlish but in contrast big and very detailed. I'm sceptical about whether the City version will compete against it. At least it's more or less sure that we'll finally see a new ambulance - hopefully and big and detailed one like the one from 2012. My guesses on the not yet named and even the not yet confirmed sets: 60186 - some sort of city center (possibly as exclusive set) 10189 - really no idea; Could it even be that they push it back to 2019? 60196 - exclusive Arcitc set (maybe ice breaker) 69198 - cargo train 60199 - train station 60200 - rail crossing 60203 - (big and detailed) ambulance

LEGO Star Wars 2018 Set Discussion - READ FIRST POST!
Klaus-Dieter replied to MKJoshA's topic in LEGO Star Wars
Thank you all very much for the info! I'm really happy that after some years of stagnation 2018 will see some great OT stuff! The Mos Eisley Cantina could - with a bit of modding - be well added to the version from 2014 in order to get a decent model. The Tatooine BP looks great. I'm surprised to see the Sandcrawler appearing as a regular set. For me a great thing since I don't already own one. And imo the exclusive versions were (apart from the high prices) for my taste to huge anyway. So Cantina, Tatooine BP and Sandcrawler will go very well together! And since I've got only one X-Wing, I'm even glad to see it returning. Perhaps a bit too big and massive, but let's see. Hopefully it'll include a completely new pilot and R-unit in addition to Luke and R2-D2. So now I'm really curious about that rumored Cloud City. -
I bet that there won't be any Creator Expert Fairground set this year. Since Creator will get a whole fairground subtheme in summer, it'll for sure be like in 2016 when Friends got fairground sets and Creator Expert so didn't have one, too. With 40 years of the minifigure and 60 years of the brick, a rumored very large Ninjago (Movie?) set, a possible Hogwarts Castle and some exclusive Star Wars stuff, I could even imagine TLG putting its work and money into those. Since I read somewhere that the number of DC2 sets per year is limited.
-
Thank you very much for the sets list for summer, Brick Lover! I'm really not excited about getting new Arctic sets although there'd be so many since long not brought back themes like Mountain Rescue, Farm and Harbor! So there will be either a Fun at the ... set or a Town set? How bad ... Let's hope that there'll be a decent train station. All in all I must admit that 2018 (apart from the Great Vehicles theme) doens't look like a great and interesting City year (for me). So I hope that there'll be some surprises left which push it!
-
Thank you very much for the info, Digger of Bricks! Racing in the Friends theme?! Then there will be a Barbie doll shop in the City theme next, won't it?! I hope that we'll get some great buildings like a disco, a theatre, a department store or a new hotel nevertheless!
-
Thank you very much for all the info! The Pirates' Rollercoaster does look excellent! I really do like how TLG combined old with new. The only two things I don't like are firstly that it's only a push along system and that secondly there are no ads and different colored lamps (like the Fairground Mixxer did have). I'm really curious about the three other sets: Universe Surprises is for sure an homage to the Classic Space theme, Ship Adventures could be again Pirates but even be City or Classic Castle and Fallingwater Show could be Adventurers or City. But I even hope that we'll get at least one regular building in summer 2018, too - at the best a shop.
-
Thank you very much for the link, Johnmeel! That new Easter promo looks really nice!
-
Thank you very much for the info! That promo looks superb! I completely agree with you, Digger of Bricks! We really do need a new 10184 and even a new 10193/10223 for the 60th anniversary!

LEGO Star Wars 2018 Set Discussion - READ FIRST POST!
Klaus-Dieter replied to MKJoshA's topic in LEGO Star Wars
Thank you very much for the info! That there'll be a small new vehicle and the barkeeper in the Cantina included is great. But I'm - like many others of you - disappointed about the fact that there'll be no (new) aliens. I hope that you'r right, thorin! But since the last set was released four years ago, I highly doubt that TLG takes in concideration the new set to be some sort of an add-on. Possible it's of course.
