Ok I'm just saying it's universally recognized through all those things i mentioned, video games, shows, movies, etc. I'm saying that more people may recognize lion knights through these other forms. Of course the original factions are great I have both original lions and black falcons. Yes it would be nice to get a throwback to the old heraldry like the did with the gwp a while back but I doubt they will do it anytime soon. All I'm saying is they are more recognizable that's all. I would just take some new lion knights that's all. But new factions are Overdue in my opinion. I know lego loves the lions and dragons as heraldry.

I know Disney has the licencing fee. I was using it as an example of a way overpriced set. So if your not going by parts count what are you measuring it on? I personally look at part count, types of parts in the set, minifigs, playability.

I think your taking this to literally. I'm saying that the the Lion is universally seen as a symbol of strong knights, realm, kingdom or whatever. It's used in many video games, fantasy adventure novels, tv shows, etc and is seen as a strong society. I would like and updated version yes does it have to happen now no. Of course I would love new heraldry like griffons or even a new stag, possibly a eagle, any new heraldry is welcome.

From what I've heard Lego is not doing back orders on B&P and I can't just take time out of my work day to see if they are available so it will have to be luck of the draw with me. I'll just keep checking in and see where that gets me.

You have to keep checking back for the black falcon parts and the helms. There are some monkey king parts available from the flower fruit mountain set are available. Also Chief Mammatus head piece is available.

How is a 1,949 piece set at $170 overpriced? I'm just curious on your rationale. Seems quite fair to me especially with all the figs and printed legs, new tail pieces. How much do you think it should cost? Things are always going to go up in price. Lego has always been an expensive hobby. I don't agree with the statement that the vast majority would wait for a sale. There aren't many sales on lego here in the states not like it used to be. Look at the Raya the last dragon sets those are overpriced.

I guess I'm missing your point but Lion Knights are Lion Knights to me it doesn't matter if they are the same as the original it just gives greater variety to my army. What I'm saying is if you look at lego or any castle/fantasy based video games there is usually a knight dressed in some kind of lion armor or lion heraldry. So kids, teens and adults see a lot of lion knights when they play the games. It is a pretty common theme.

Lion knights were in kingdoms and also the 2013 line so I don't get your point and there have been other iterations in the last 30 years. My son loves Lion knights and he was to small when kingdoms was around. I would welcome any update on any of Lego's previous factions to be honest, the more variety for my armies.

Nice start. The texturing looks good and nice color choices.

Right It's not a cheap hobby to begin with buying sets, storage containers costs, enough space to display etc. I get that some are on a budget but i guess then you either have to save up or buy other more cost worthy sets. Sometimes I have to skip getting a set I want. Just look at some of the Disney sets like Raya the last dragon boat now that is overpriced. It's a part of life you don't get everything you want.

Thanks. I've seen a lot of your builds over the years. Very impressive and well thought out builds you have. And I like a lot of your figs too. Look forward to seeing more.

The Harry Potter CMF Ron and Hermione have the mugs of butter beer.

Considering they just started the marvel Disney+ shows, it may take time like it did with the mandalorian. But we will definitely get them you know they will make sets off the shows, I just think they will release later as to not spoil things from the shows. We need MoonKnight in minifig form I agree. I am looking forward to a teaser trailer to see what the series will be like.

Nice just like in the different versions of the story. This is a great feature. I can't wait to get flower fruit mountain next week

The Shang-Chi set has some nice figs and an interesting dragon. I think it's a pretty neat set. The torso's do look useful.

He just needs the skirt piece really and that's what he looks like to a T.

The death dealer has leg printing. I actually like all the figs in this set can't wait to see better pics. At least 2 have leg printing from what I see Wenwu and the death dealer.

Got ya. I thought maybe you had a certain build in mind. I will be going to the local lego store next week to pick up some monkie kid and ninjago sets hopefully the wall has some good parts.

@Megbricks That's a lot of orange heads. Nice haul. May I ask what your going to use them for.

Exactly. I think they are doing this as a nod to older themes that they aren't doing as current themes or not thinking of doing anytime soon. I think they are trying to use the nostalgic value of some of these sets to lure AFOL's in while keeping things fresh for the kids. I don't have a problem with it at all as it brings back some of the great aspects of other themes. Like the D&D wave brought back that castle vibe especially with the skull sorcerer's lair and the dragon are both great nods to old school castle/fantasy era fans. Even the villains and the geckles and the munce were great for castle figs. The season 15 wave has that Atlantis feel with the figs and some of the sets. Season 14 has and Islanders vibe. The sky pirates etc. I think hopefully new action/adventure themes will have their own style but we will have to wait and see.

Some very nice detailing here. I like the canopy on the bed. The floor design is great. The frames around the windows and the picture are fantastic. Great choice of colors, the gold accents really work well here. The bath and the dresser are nice details. Great job overall.

That's a good idea. I haven't experimented yet with the torso and leg combo's. Might do that later today. Yes that torso is very versatile as it doesn't have the usual female curves on it. I was going to see if it fits in well with my forest elves. I really do hope the next castle theme has at least 3-4 different faction one being the bad guys and would love some elves and dwarves in there too. Or even 2 bad guy factions like a goblin faction and some evil knights, either something like death knights or shadow knights.

Nice. I like the irregular base. Neat design with the torch pieces and the 1x1 round tiles in the center. Good texturing on the walls too.

Have you tried the new female centaur torso. That one is pretty nice to use for customs.

I use these for now. I do hope new ones come soon though I also use Rey's torso from star wars.
