All the grey-roofed sets that are on shelves right now, meaning the Owlery, Great Hall, Boat House, and the Flying Lesson, plus the interior modules (charms classroom, potions classroom, Duelling Club) ^^

Prof Kettleburn, the teacher for magical care and Hagrid‘s precursor He made no official appearance in the movies, but there was an extra in PS/CoS that fans have speculated could be him, which TLG now pretty much canonised

As other people have pointed out, it‘s hilarious to see moulded horses in his Creator set and then brick-built horses in the Creator castle And not only is it weird to have moulded animals in a Creator set to begin with, but a currently exclusive one at that with the new unicorn! Of all the potential themes to introduce a unicorn (like Dreamzzz, Harry Potter, Pokémon, or Friends even), I never would‘ve thought it‘d be Creator

A.clay stated the set is definitely a CTT now. Glad to finally have it settled then While I still mourn the „loss“ of the UT-AT, I now view the set as a CTT with a better than usual minifig selection as opposed to a Galactic Marines set with the wrong vehicle. That said, there has to be more to this set minifig-wise, right? 4 is very low for a set like this. A handful of BDs and/or SBDs would be nice, even though we already get plenty of them in the MTT and the 327th BP.

Wow, this looks fantastic! Definitely one of my favourite castle expansions we‘ve had so far across all three systems! So many cool minifigs and details, and the challenges are really well realised! I was wondering how they‘d do the flying keys, and yeahhhhh… They‘re more like levitating keys here Other random observations: Funny to have a third version of Flint. Quite a lot for such a minor character! Nice of them to keep book-Percy exclusive! How many versions of Harris’ Dumbledore can they crank out before we finally get another Gambledore? Someone here will be very happy about one of the students… The PS looks stupid. Is it really so hard to recolour the gold nugget piece? Looks like the entire parts budget of this wave went into Fluffy. Worth it!

This marks the second time everybody thought we‘d get a cool new TIE variant from an upcoming project in a set, only for them to coldly ignore it And the Avenger seems to be a lot more prominent than the Whisper was! While I do like the new U-Wing, I would‘ve traded it for a TIE Avenger in a heartbeat. Also, how come they skip the yearly TIE Fighter set in a year where there‘s a new variant all over the marketing for a show?!

Currently, the most reliable ones include lego minecraft goat, TandN, a.clay, maxbautde, Cmf6169, mtd, fateful, and Brick Clicker (and Falconfan, but I’m not sure if he’s still active). What they say is usually highly accurate ^^ Most other „leakers“ either parrot what they say, fall for fake informants, or just make stuff up for clicks

A drawing of the Sherlock Holmes set leaked, and that one actually is a proper book nook! Now I wonder which category the Balrog set will fall into…

A drawing of the Fawkes set leaked! The set also includes baby Fawkes, the sorting hat, and the sword of Gryffindor I guess we’ve now seen some sort of leak for all of the June sets besides the Thestral one!

Still salty about my Mara Jade heresy, I see And yes, I do collect almost every licensed theme with few exceptions! Plus some in-house stuff too. I have quite a few Dreamzzz, Monkie Kid, Ninjago, Hidden Side, Power Miners, and Atlantis sets (plus more), in case anyone thinks I only care about licensed themes In regard to what specifically? I didn’t imply I was gonna celebrate Dreamzzz’s doom, because I’m actually quite fond of the theme, just pointing out that he’s gonna invite people’s vindictiveness

There’s no argument to be made though, unless you count counterfactual ones The company is still the #1 toy brand in the world and pretty much the only one not suffering. The toy market on the whole has been declining for years, while TLG thrive. The bestsellers include a healthy mix of both licensed and in-house themes. You just personally hate licenses for whatever arbitrary reasons and try to find evidence to support your outlandish claims, but there simply isn’t any. Accept the situation and enjoy the themes you enjoy without p***ing all over everyone else’s cereal

I thought turtles weren’t colour-blind? Criticism != childish insults

Turtle is from Finland tho, he only pretends to be from Sweden as part of his “masterful” disguise You never listen to anything anyone says, so this is completely pointless, but you’re not gonna endear anyone to your point of view if you keep hurling childish insults at people Keep doing it and people are gonna openly celebrate the demise of your favourite themes Because unlike SW, Dreamzzz actually is on the way out.

Right!! I forgor to add a set with them to the list Maybe that Jedi shuttle! It’s a real bummer The Acolyte got nothing. I hope it’s an outlier!

Definitely, but it was also a tie-in set for BP:WF and Boseman‘s passing wasn‘t referred to anywhere on the box, on s@h, or in the instructions. If they didn‘t do it for a set that came out years after an actor‘s death, they‘re not gonna do it for a set that‘s actively being produced while an actor passed away

That is such a cool reference!! Imagine seeing this without knowing how the Creeper came to be, must be super confusing Then again, they‘ll likely point it out in the instructions.

A.clay claims that it can Agreed! The usefulness was ultimately limited, but it was still a very creative solution. The new one can’t actually lie down anyway, so going with all three heads always being awake is appropriate

You know what they say about blind chickens and broken clocks Haven‘t heard that goober‘s name in a while You‘d think after years of this nonsense he‘d get something right by accident, but nope!

As @Black Falcon points out, they simply wouldn‘t create this many of them if they didn‘t sell. They have years worth of data across various themes and at different price points now, enough to make sound data-driven decisions. In essence, yes, they are ^^ Since the new dalmatian puppy‘s body is so similar to Simba‘s, I wonder if it was still Marcos Bessa‘s work. Maybe it’s the last set he worked on before leaving the company?

Jedi Bricks isn‘t a reliable source though. While I’m convinced LOTR will continue, we need to wait for actual leakers to confirm it

Nice catch, didn‘t even notice it! This could be pretty useful in other themes as well! The Pickaxe mine is also implied to come with a spider jokey

What I‘d like to see the most: The Mantis with the entire crew plus an Inquisitor (2nd or 9th Sister) and a Purge Trooper The Exile II with Qimir, Sol, Osha, and Mei Qimir‘s helmet TIE Reaper TIE Whisper TIE Avenger The Fondor A set based on the finale of TBoBF with a Rancor, a Scorpenek Droid, Boba, Mando, Cad Bane, Pykes, and Krrsantan A set with Babu Frik Cobb Vanth‘s speeder A set with an Incinerator Trooper Sets with the missing Inquisitors (particularly 7th Sister, 8th Brother, 4th Sister, and 11th Brother) The juggernaut from Mando S2 with Mayfeld A set with Enoch A set with Crosshair (Republic) A Maul Shadow Lord set with Dryden Voss I think that covers it 90% of this will never get made, but one can hope!

The 2001 Fluffy was cool for its time and aged better than the sock puppet Basilisk, but I still prefer both of the other versions The dog breed seems inaccurate with its pointy ears and the lack of prints wouldn‘t work nowadays either

Why would dinosaurs transform into Australian mammals? Sorry, couldn‘t resist, that misspelling / autocorrect was too funny to ignore To answer your question, I doubt it. So far, most moulded animals either have no articulation or pin or clip connections. Ball joints are colour-locked, which would require additional new pieces to connect the limbs to, or they‘d somehow have to be dual-moulded

As far as I‘m aware, they haven‘t dedicated sets to deceased actors yet. Besides, Kilmer‘s death was very recent, so even if they wanted, it‘d probably too late already to add something in the instruction booklet
