I think you have to remember just because you don't like it that other people might. Once again we fall into this trap that the set has to be up to our own personal standards. I really don't think the space CMF is that bad I think there some really good figs in there it's really no different than most CMF's. Lego did a great job on Rivendell. You are basing your expectations on a gwp that is a remake of an old set and a CMF that usually doesn't please everyone anyway. I'm not that worried man look at the viking village which Soccerkid worked on was great. There are some really good sets recently and you are taking some really smalll and usually up in the air things like a CMF and GWP to base your worries on. I think maybe just enjoy the good stuff and not worry about what's coming. There's literally nothing that's going to change what is coming anyway. The market village is already produced and we are just waiting for pics and either you will like it or you won't. And it's ok either way it's not really something to worry that much about.

That gnome is such a fun idea. nice job.

Yes the HP theme is great for parts too. Those wings are very nice. I have several HP sets too just for the parts especially the figs and animals. The dementor parts are good for ghouls and demons. I can't wait for the owlery. I have several thestrals as steeds for my villain characters.

Did you order from Lego directly or like karrit said the other 2 were from target where there were duplicates?

They used to have good ones like the oni from Ninjago. But they have black falcons and lion knights now just make some packs like they used to have in the fantasy era with at least 5 figs they would make a killing. Also the Ninjago villains would easily be popular but they have stopped making those too. If they made villain packs of the more recent waves and the new wolf guys they would fly off the shelves. The fantasy era ones had 5 figs in each pack.

An eclectic use of new and old parts. Some great looking figs as usual. Where are those wings from the familiar from Valyrio from? Nice use of some ninjago and nexo knight parts. I see even a chima torso also. Nice use of Jane fosters torso for your sigfig. Chima, Ninjago, Nexo knights, Monkie kid, and now Dreamzzz have some really great parts for fantasy figs. That hood piece from Anti-matter from Ultra Agents is such a good piece. Some really lovely designs here, these are all wonderful and have some nice color combinations also. Great job and good luck in Brickscalibur.

I mean the old ones had more figs and more weapons. I really don't see the HP ones as army builders either. The marvel one had meek in it which was not the greatest but the korg fig was good.

Those new HP, Ninjago, and Marvel battle packs you speak of are not like the old ones he's referring to. The new ones aren't as nice as the old ones. Battle packs now are basically small sets with figs in them like the star wars droid pack. But hopefully if we do get some kind of battle packs they come with at least 4-5 figs like they used to like the dwarf one or skeleton one from the fantasy era of castle.

The microfig also came with HP as a dementor I believe also in black. The Star wars one is translucent blue.

There is a version of the hooded caped microfig in star wars just not that color. The helm seems to be a new part not sure how he did that. But you could do this in physical form but you may have to change some pieces out as they may not be available in certain colors especially the parts like the rollerskates in grey.

Nice idea and wonderful looking build. I really like the vampire.

Yes if they just added a pointy goatee that would be great. I will probably just use the morbius head for the a replacement for now.

They are great for customizing figs. I've used them for tieflings The hearth gnomes is such a fun idea nice job. those dreamzzz small fig bodies are so useful.

Yeah I was going to say WB has had major issues recently. And with the strikes here in the US I would think we won't see anything anytime soon. But if these turn out like ROP because they hire people that don't care about Tolkiens works then this is going to be a disaster.

Ah ok. I haven't heard about anything beyond WOTR. Is there any idea of what the movies will be or directors, cast, etc.

What new trilogy of films are you talking about? I haven't heard anything about new films only things coming are WOTR animated film and season 2 of the ROP.

i thought it was chima but wasn't sure. thanks for responding. I really need to get a few of those mice pieces. That vignette looks nice with the snow.

Great looking fig, what torso is that from?

Yeah Ninjago and Dreamzzz have a lot of nice parts. I ordered the Nightmare kings pieces recently hoping to get them before christmas. I am now wondering if Fortnite will get sets and figs that would produce some interesting parts especially for fig customization.

Great Idea for that torch using the marvel blast pieces. the fig looks great is that torso and legs from harry potter?

Great looking display. The color combinations really make this display pop. The water looks great and the boats give it some nice depth. The rock work and landscaping are fantastic. All the buildings are unique and have nice interiors. The interior of the cave is impressive with the especially the lava. All of the dragons look great with their different designs. Some great looking figs in there too. Overall wonderful job on all that hard work.

Yes that would be great. Although I don't have Rivendell yet I will be getting it early next year at some point. Any generic orcs, goblins, humans, dwarves, elves, etc would be great. The more generic torso and leg prints would be wonderful. Like more elves from Lothlorien, people from Minas Tirith, Rohan, Dale, etc. Dwarves from the blue mountains or dwarven workers.

Great analysis. I think people build things up so much that when the final product comes out they just see the negatives and can't let things go. I know it's not the greatest set but let's put it into perspective. The actual sets we have gotten are great like the Lion Knights castle, 3in1 castle, Rivendell, Viking village, the 3in1 viking ship, and the pirate sets were also great. As long as we are getting quality sets like that I'm not worried. I think some people take things to far with this set. I can't wait till we see pictures of the Market village and see what will be said about that.

This is great and it would fit right in with the LK castle. Great interior and nice detailing all around. Supported and I really hope this gets through. Good luck.

What an awesome idea. I really like the king and the sword. Some nice details in here with the hidden doors and all the moving parts.
