For a long time I've had mine on a shelf high, high above ... but I think it's now time to retire them for a while in favor of decluttering and making space for some other things, so I've started bagging them. I'll probably break down all but a couple of sets and put them away for another day or another generation.

You had me at “motte and bailey.” Well done, it’s really neat.

Yep, agreed, though aesthetically it just feels off. I absolutely see the logic given a limited palette, but I’m still not a fan. Regardless, there does seem to be some hope for a steady drip of releases. That’s good news!

I see I might be in the minority here, but I hope it is Lion Knights/Black Falcons. For me they’re ideal, light-hearted groups with a good look that contrasts and harmonizes just right. I never understood the black-walled castle approach and all the ghoulish stuff. I definitely prefer a playful, pastoral kind of medieval Lego theme. Toss in a sneaky yet jovial Forest clan member, and it’s a great mix. The new LK/BF torsos are really terrific little pieces of art. Keep ‘em coming! (If pressed for a wish, I suppose I’d love to see a few more villager options as well.)

What a great surprise! It seemed like we had another year or so to go before seeing a new offering.

I just saw the box image of 31161 Green Dragon. The dragon itself is really quite good for those interested in fantasy medieval themes. As for me, I’m choosing to read far too much into the background image. Squint and that looks vaguely reminiscent of the old 6074 Black Falcon Fortress. Let’s hope it’s a little tease of something to come in a subsequent year. Update: perhaps it’s this 31168 Medieval Knight Castle that has just cropped up!

Wow, this is wonderful. A great model of a really amazing structure! Well done.

Wow, Lego is launching a brand new identity done with Interbrand. (No logo changes.) Neat new typeface built on brick geometry and all sort of great visual details! The Interbrand press release only scratches the surface, but I think we can all be on the lookout for some new flavors. https://interbrand.com/newsroom/building-beyond-the-bricks-the-lego-group/ Brand New feature (paywalled) https://www.underconsideration.com/brandnew/archives/new_identity_for_lego_group_by_interbrand_and_in_house.php

@natesroom Oh wow, I'd love these if you don't mind! Got 'em in AI format?

And lo and behold, my shipment just arrived.

Very nice. I have one of those torsos on the way from PAB. Looking forward to seeing it!

Pretty sure it was a firmly tongue-in-cheek joke!

I’m with you.

Oh good heavens, please no. Visions is enough.
