The ship was never renamed in-universe; merch branding just moved away from the Slave I name. I honestly think that this was done less because Disney is being weird and more because the name suits a villain’s ship far better than a hero(?)’s one.

I meant that the set answers the question of whether LEGO would incorporate castle into their modern-day themes.

“From Jules Verne to the blackest depths of space”.

Harry Potter is getting a new Beauxbatons carriage set, so maybe the horse in the MTS will be reused from that.

Yes, because you brought it up.

Ah, thanks. He says that the set was cancelled, though.

Source? I am not seeing it anywhere.

SpaceX rocket?

Animals and a nicely generic Minifig! 👍

At $100 with a base and animals as well, I expect the helicopter to be smaller/simpler than the volcano explorers’ one.

Oh. I thought that @Lion King was referring to fairground sets broadly, not that we had an Icons fairground set coming.

Ah. 🫤 The set may actually have been delayed (rather than @Brick Clicker having gotten the release date wrong), since that is consistent with other recent price increases.

Friends is getting a $100 castle set in 2HY, so the possibility of a “Year of Castle” at some point is now absolutely on the table!

Same! It seems like the $10/$11 quad-bike-and-cute-animals sets have been selling well (monkeys, chickens, otters, seals)! 👍

You may want to be a bit more specific regarding the part(s) in-question, and precisely how much weight you want the model to be able to hold.

It is a bit early to judge the quality of the set! I really hope that @Brick Clicker just got the date wrong originally (since he was the main source, IIRC), and not that LEGO is repeatedly pushing the set back. Remind me what it cost before; $100? I do hope that the two Minifigs rumour is wrong and we get more than that! It leaked today, not that long ago. Check the 2024 City thread, or the appropriate Subreddit.

OK - Thanks.

We are getting a “Robot World Rollercoaster”; hopefully there will be some useful robot pieces (even just a recoloured classic head). Also, we already got a space coaster set in 2HY 2023, so we are not likely to get a new one until that retires.

A knight on horseback would be reasonable, and could fit into a City set or Modular Building quite easily.

Jungle and construction seem to be the main subthemes, with some transportation as well. I am really looking forward to the red panda! Can you say if we are getting more than one space set in 2HY, and if so, what might they be? I am curious about that; I am keeping expectations low, but I hope that we at least get a new colour of classic Spyrius/Exploriens droid head.

I am assuming that this will be an archery range, since LEGO generally avoids guns in modern-day contexts (licenses aside).

Do you know something, or are you just speculating?

Exabrickslegogo on Instagram. Second half-year (roughly June-December). I cannot see LEGO being able to do a motorised monorail without introducing a bunch of new pieces, but I would much rather have a monorail that I have to move with my hand over none at all!

The Monastery is a good guess, and we are due for a remake!
