  1. I think if they really wanted to they could squeeze the house in a 50 dollar set, they’ve made some of the castles for even less than that after all.
  2. I can’t wait for this! I’m glad lego is brave enough to do a minidoll d2c. Hopefully we get more in the future between the Disney and the friends lines
  3. I’m honestly pretty disappointed in the shopping mall, to me it just looks odd. I think it might have to do with the overall shape, the top floor is so short, and so empty. They could have done so much more there, at least one more shop instead of just stalls. We could have gotten a more proper sushi bar. The shops look fine, but as @Soupperson1 mentioned, the fact we don’t get more looks at them is concerning. I’m fine with having small stores, but I hope they have at least something more to them than just two or three objects. Also imo the jewellery/beauty store is a concept we’ve seen so many times but has never been done justice, this one looks like more boring hair accessories and two wigs which are both not exclusive. The colors also look off to me, like they’re way to bright, I wish they had gone for a purples and teals color scheme with the gold accents and ditched the yellow and pink. I absolutely love the minidolls though. Emma’s family looks great, especially the mom. Emma also has a cute outfit. Don’t care for Olivia though, that top and that skirt are used way to often, and look terrible together imo. the vet is cute, it’s not anything crazy complicated or detailed but it does the trick. The animals, especially the horse are all great, and so are the minidolls. I’m so proud of lego for doing a blind character, it’s great representation. I’ll definitely buy this one as soon as possible. the ambulance set is fine as well. I really like the ambulance, the colors and the interior save it. The tree is odd, it’s just a pretty pointless build imo, but it’s alright. I really like that we’re getting a good amount of animals here, and the two new cats here are great. Emma’s vet outfit is cute, but what happened to Olivia? This is unbelievably lazy honestly, they couldn’t do a new top for her? And honestly if they didn’t have the budget they should’ve excluded any other character but not her. To my knowledge there still isn’t a vet uniform in her skin tone, while there are many in the light skin tone and even a few in the darker one. It’s just odd honestly, and very disappointing. as for the summer sets, I’m excited about the forest subtheme, hopefully we get a lot of good forest animals and nice outfits. The grand hotel and school both needed an upgrade, so I can’t wait to see how those turn out. Don’t really care for another amusement park theme, but if the sets are good and unique then I’ll happily welcome them
  4. All three of the look great. This is hands down the best lego Disney wave in a while, with great builds and a good amount of new characters. -The palace was something we had already seen, but now we get to see all of the great details. I like the fact that there’s some more “regular” features here like a bed and a table, balanced with more whimsical things, like the secret weapons and the magical items. I love the colors, they are consistent and work greatly together. The figures are very nice. The full on adventure Raya looks great, and namaari is such a cool minidoll. Tuk tuk tops it all off, he looks very nice - the boat is the best set in terms of figures imo. Both Boun and especially Sisu look great, and I’m glad to get them. The most surprising thing here is the protagonist’s absence, something that has never been done in this line. The Ongis look cute, but I’m surprised they made a new mold for each one of them. The builds look very unique for this line, and they’re full with detail. However, this is probably one of the worst priced Disney sets, a line that is already very overpriced. I’ll forgive it because of the five exclusive characters, but it is slightly disappointing. - the Sisu set is cute, it’s nothing amazing, but it’s still better than most sets tbh. The value here looks actually pretty good, at least in terms of volume. Sisu is alright. I don’t love the vinyl pieces on the body, and the legs look really off. They could have definitely done a better job. The extra palace wall is a cool concept, and a great way to get kids to buy both the sets. They should really use this gimmick more in this line. Raya looks good, but I’m very disappointed in the fact that the hat is not removable. She is shown many times without it in marketing, hopefully some other hairpiece will work for when the hat is off. overall, this wave is great, and I’m glad they still believe in this theme. The builds get better every year. Hopefully more of the future sets employ this level of detail.
  5. A belle’s house set is something I’ve wanted for a while, and tbh I’m kinda shocked we still haven’t gotten it. Belle is one of the most popular princesses yet she is severely underrepresented in the line. It could be about 40 dollars and a include a small house for belle, maybe a market stall and a fountain. Her blue outfit is featured in media quite a bit as well, so the fact that we still don’t have it is truly baffling. I would love Gaston as a minidoll! I think he would translate very well.
  6. So I messed up and said the tiana series is coming in 2022, it’s actually in 2023. So any sets will probably come then.
  7. I definitely think we’ll get at least one set for tiana coming with the new Disney+ show. Even if it is just based on the original movie. In the announcement they mentioned that some episodes will focus on her ruling maldonia, so if we’re lucky we might see naveen pop up in one of the sets! Moana getting sets for the show is very likely as well. They also touched on encanto quite a bit in the stream, and if Mariana (I think that’s her name) is intended to join the princess lineup I think it’s quite likely we will see some sets pop up for her as well! They even mentioned the long awaited enchanted sequel, and if it has animated parts in it, and Disney pushes the marketing for it with toys, could we potentially get sets based on Giselle? I would love that. Similar thing with Peter Pan and Wendy. At last, we also have an official logo for tlm live action, and I definitely see more Ariel sets in the future like they did with jasmine and Mulan. So based on all this information, i think we can roughly guess some of the future years lineups. Encanto possibly near the end of this year, or in the winter of 2022. Presuming that tlm comes out in 2022, at least two sets for Ariel, possibly an atlantica remake and a kiss the girl set? I’d also like to mention that 2022 is also brave’s 10th anniversary, so I think Merida will come back then. In the fall of 2022 something for tiana, in conjunction with th show and Moana in winter 2023. I definitely see more books popping up as well, and a new Snow White set I think is now more likely with Microdolls being used more frequently. So I think we could get at least dopey! And of course, we need Pocahontas asap. I hope this doesn’t feel too speculation-y.
  8. Ok, this is an amazing set. First of all, these colors. From the set to the box art, they’re all stunning and consistent. The palace is beautiful, not only is this architecture unique, but it also ha such a unique shape. It’s almost like a plaza. The fountain also looks amazing. The characters top it all off. Raya looks great, sword and all. Tuk tuk also looks nice. The new characters also look good. So happy to finally get new people in this line, the last non microdoll new character was Matthias. I wish all princesses got this level of attention, imagine a Jasmine palace in the vein of this set. Overall very impressed
  9. That park is seriously stunning, and something new for the line. Loving all the details. The birthday setup is so fun. Kinda wish they used the actual piñata piece from series 20 though. This is a set that will fit into anybody’s city. It’s amazing to get another kid, especially with dark eyes! i would have preferred getting a dad or a mom with him, but maybe he is ethans brother? Also like ethans new hoodie. Overall another great set for such a great wave. I can’t wait to see the March sets now!
  10. Objectively I would say they’re about the same value. Same amount of Microdolls and very similar sized builds. Heck, I’d say that this new one probably has a better value even, the nokk is a new piece and Idunas hair is a new color. In general the pieces look a bit more interesting as well. But it’s the fact that this new book could have been better, and really missed the mark on certain key elements of the set (elsas hair in its down state and the characters in general)
  11. Thanks for sharing @Soupperson1 Bruni is cute but I don’t really care for those kinda sets, though I think its weird that we have him here but there’s still not a minidoll scaled one. The Elsa storybook is a letdown. I’m hoping it’s at least a different blue than Ariel’s book. Iduna is a cool inclusion, but adventure Elsa looks weird with the long skirt and the snow queen elsas hair is so bad. Olivias old hair just doesn’t work, it’s way to messy. Olaf is also such an unnecessary inclusion, almost any other character would have made more sense here. The builds look good though. The one think about this book is that imo it would have been better as a regular set, hoping we’ll get a minidoll version of it in the future. The Ariel set is cute, nothing much. The wedding dress and new face print is really nice. But we still don’t have scuttle. The Cinderella set on the other hand is a surprise. Love Gus Gus, he’s adorable! And the new horses are also really cool, love the neck articulation. The fairy godmothers got a new face but still not a more accurate dress. Cinderella looks pretty bad here, but it’s ok since we have like 3000 versions of her. The carriage itself is very nice. I definitely think that the good sets this wave will be Raya’s lol.
  12. I must say that I love every single one of the regular system sets. The building especially look nice. Andreas house Is definitely the standout, the colors are gorgeous and I love the style of the building. The garage is a brilliant touch and the minidolls are amazing. The organic cafe is very colorful, but in a good inviting way while the cinema looks fun and very unique both in style and color scheme. The smaller sets are cute and the Dalmatian puppy along with the kitten are absolutely adorable. The best thing of this overall wave are the minidolls. We are finally getting more per set! The standouts are the new characters: the two kids, the grandpa, the actress, the movie Theater employee and Andreas parents. I’m pretty sure this wave has the first male minidolls with glasses. Andreas dad and the boy in the cinema (at least it seems like he has glasses). Overall the regular sets are all very good. But the cubes to me look off... I don’t really know what it is, but both the outside and the inside look very odd. I like the concept, and the animal faces are all cute, but the execution is lacking. The insides are all very bland and the stickers look almost too cartoony. At least every cube has a new torso, and Stephanie has some cute cat ears. Emma’s face print tough ends up looking funny imo.
  13. I’m wondering if some of these minidolls will actually be microdolls? Considering that with the elves in the advent calendar we now have official child faces, I definitely see it as a possibility. Andreas house has five minidolls, excluding her and her parents, we still have two unknown figures. Could one of them be her little sister as a microdoll? I also think that the way they’re producing minidolls could have a factor in the more figures per set. The most recent ones seem to be messier and unevenly printed, almost rushed. Maybe the new torsos made it easier to produce minidolls at a faster and easier rate?
  14. That puppy is so cute! It looks too “normal” to be in a cube. Im betting he will be in one of the vet sets. I’m hoping we get more Different house pets in the subtheme, a little kitty would be adorable!
  15. So we finally have a leaked list for the 2021 sets, they seem interesting... these are all in pounds so keep in mind the pricing. January 1st wave: 43186 Bruni buildable character 11.99, 43189 Elsa and the Nokk storybook adventures 17.99, 43191 Ariel’s celebration boat 24.99, 43192 Cinderella’s royal carriage 39.99 March 1st wave: 43181 Raya’s palace 74.99, 43184 Raya’s dragon 27.99, 43185 Raya’s boat 44.99 I’m very excited about these Raya sets, I thought we were gonna get two at most. But three sets for her is great. Can’t wait to see the palace. Something along the lines of the Chinese New Year sets maybe? And its always nice to have more diverse styles of architecture in the line. The dragon should also look very cool. Something like the elves ones in style probably. But I’m not crazy about this January wave. I mean it’s literally the three princesses we have gotten the most sets of. The Elsa book could be cute, but I would have wanted a minidoll of the white dress before a micro doll one. The ariel boat is a bizarre inclusion, but if we get a scuttle and new dress for Ariel it would be a welcome addition. The Cinderella carriage is probably like the 2017 one, but hopefully with Lady Tremaine instead of the Fairy godmother. Still holding out hope for Pocahontas in the summer?
  16. Looking at these better photos I’m not really surprised but I’m not mad at the sets. The interiors are pretty much what I expected. Beds and tables. They’re putting them in basically every set now. I wish they started doing more different furniture. More stuff like rapunzels painting. I’m shocked that The cottage doesn’t have a cake, but I guess there was one in the carriage set. Rapunzels tower looks very thin though, and the rooms are all extremely small. But I’m ok with sacrificing a little room for a more movie accurate build. However I wish we had a stove to go with the tower or even a bookcase, since cooking and reading are some of Rapunzels hobbys from when will my life begin. I think the dolls look all nice, with the exception of Aurora. The blue print just looks lazy, like Cinderella’s pink skirt piece from that 2017 set. I truly don’t understand why they didn’t go for a complete blue dress. They still have the pink dress on the market. Maleficient does look good though, much better prints on her this time. I think Eugene and Rapunzel look very nice as well. The shorter dress piece looks nice on Raps and while I’m not so sure about that face I’m glad we have it either way just for variety. Also, is it to early to speculate about next years sets? usually leaked lists come out around this time.
  17. while I do think that we will get another Disney cmf soon (and probably even more after that) I highly doubt they’ll include these characters. Especially the fairies. If Rapunzel appears soon she’ll probably be paired up with Eugene and we already have Maleficient to go with Aurora if we get her. Unfortunately it seems we will not get them anytime soon since we don’t have them in these sets.
  18. I really like these two! They are definitely the best from this years Disney wave. The cottage is very nice for what it offers. The build looks very quaint, with pleasing colors that feel natural. I love the magenta and azure accents. They translated it very well from the movie. There are so many nice details in here: the wands that represent the fairies’ magic coming out of the chimney, Maleficients pet raven Diablo, the new grey bunny and the lovely bridge . Unfortunately though the biggest disappointment are the minidolls. No Briar rose outfit for Aurora and especially no Philip... At least the minidolls that are included are interesting. I like the blue detail on auroras dress and Maleficient actually looks fantastic. Way better than the last one. Rapunzels tower is close to perfect in my opinion. The build looks great and accurate to the movie, I love the rocks at the bottom and the stickers on the top floor. The details are very pretty as well with all the gold pieces and the flowers. I am curious about the interior though. The side builds are cute as well. The mini Snuggly duckling looks especially adorable with the ducky piece. Minidolls are also solid, Rapunzel has the frozen 2 skirt piece and we finally have an updated Eugene. And I like the inclusion of the tangled the series Pascal. No Gothel or longer Rapunzel hairpiece unfortunately.
  19. I like these! I thought they were gonna be more pointless beach stuff but they look very cute. Definitely better than the jungle ones. However I’m curious about which animals come in which since I really only want the flamingo and the seahorse. I’m pretty sure Emma comes with the baby turtle because of the sandcastle that could really only fit that piece. I’m also assuming the seal comes with Mia and the flamingo with Stephanie. Since these two animals are the only ones that have to be above water. I’m not sure about the other two. Andrea has a dolphin in the background sticker but Olivia has a dolphin on her tablet... But the seahorse would fit better with the underwater theme of Andreas cube. But I have found a disappointing thing about these. The turtle already come in light spring green regularly and the seahorse comes in lavender. They should have thought about the colors a bit more.
  20. I’m confused about that honestly. The figure is not talked about in any of the descriptions of the book. Maybe they have added it to a new batch? I’m really curious about this because I want to get my hands on this minidoll, I think her face could be a good one for honeymaren.
  21. I just found this minidoll on bricklink. She comes with the secrets of the magical castle Disney Princess book from this year. Am I the only one who didn’t notice this book? The figure itself does look pretty cool though. Everything on her is a new piece.
  22. Looking forward to these two. So happy I held off on buying the old tower. This one costs twenty dollars more, and that one was already pretty tall so this one should be massive. I would personally like Flynn/Eugene more than Gothel but I will accept both. I do think he’s more likely since they haven’t done more villains sets. Hopefully we get an updated pascal as well. And I would also like a new hairpiece for Rapunzel. Even though I know they can’t do a super long one because she has to sit. Im actually pretty excited for the Sleeping Beauty set. Sure I would have preferred Poca or an updated princess but I think this one could be good. This costs just like the 2018 castle so it should be a pretty good build. I’m going to be very disappointed if Aurora is in the pink dress again. I would love her briar rose. Pretty sure we’ll get another fairy and another minidoll. It should be Philip for the scene which we have been missing for a while. Hopefully we don’t get another Maleficient. We’re also probably gonna get some forest critters and the owl from the carriage set.
  23. The alpaca set looks cute, one of the best in the jungle subtheme. It’s nice getting three little alpacas and the build seems packed with fun features, including some treasure hunting going on. The volcano does look kind of small but it’s nice to have a play feature. I was expecting Stephanie in the set since she was in the sets only once, but getting Mia again is disappointing. They really don’t want to make new characters it seems. FYI the set is under #legofriends and not under legoleaks.
  24. Wow it really is gorgeous. It looks extremely good for a 4+ set. I also like that it’s different enough from the old castle, so you can use them both to make a bigger castle overall. Lovely figures and the blue bird is great. Overall pleasantly surprised with this set. I’m hoping we do have more to this wave though
  25. I think this is an overall very strong wave, definitely better than the winter one and the last summer one as well. I still have nightmares about the gymnastics spectacle set The jungle sets are all solid, interesting and also different enough from the old jungle subtheme. I think it’s on par with the marine rescue from last year. I love all the new animals, especially the elephants. The minidolls look fine to me, nothing special. I would have liked more characters but maybe we’ll get one in the alpaca retail exclusive set. There’s a good balance between nature and technology here. As for the regular sets, I think all of these are fantastic! My personal favorite has to be Emma’s fashion store which brings back what made the accessory store and the art studio so great. Love the two floors and the use of minidoll parts as clothes. The wafflehouse is definitely unique. Has some nice pieces, including the heart shaped waffles. The beach house is also a fun set, I like the interior and the flamingo. I love the fact that we have an airplane that ties with the vacation and exploring aspects of the wave, I would have wanted a bigger plane but for now it will do, the pilot minidoll looks very cool. And the water park of course is very well done, with lots of fun features. Surprisingly there is also a 4+ Stephanie house which looks actually pretty neat. I love getting the parents in new outfits. I can’t wait to see the retail exclusives and the cubes
