    Careful what you wish for though, because there is a worrying number of Harrys in some sets. How many does the Hogwarts Express have? But yes, sensibly, this isn't trying to appeal to children AND shoehorn a movie franchise into it, so we should be OK.

    My initial impression is that it's a bit disappointing, but that is often the case with blurry leaked images, or just a single picture, as with this. I had the same feeling with the police station, but it grew on me. It may also have something to do with having recently paid after market prices for the fire station (something I very, very rarely do), as I wanted a dark red building, and now another comes along! It does look very similar to the fire station too. I think maybe the conflict of the dark red and blue doesn't work well for me.

    If Jurassic World is anything to go by, we'll have a Frodo in every set, even if he wasn't is the scene (or the movie)! So many Owens...

    Agreed.

    What a shame that they missed the opportunity to do something really cool. Oh well. We'll see it by January 1st.

    Absolutely stunning! Lovely effect and beautiful details.
  7. RichardGoring
    Yes, just took a closer look and thought that might be new too.

    New 2023 BAM figures for January and Spring are on Reddit Legoleak. Some reuse, but also some new prints and colours that look good.

    Blue rabbit and blue bird are coming to BAM next year. Photos on Reddit Legoleak

    Solid Brix Studio's video is up!! The video that Brickfanatics said would be the new modular. And... Yep, it's a Star Wars set. An old Star Wars set. The LEGO Star Wars set I've always wanted... 😱 - YouTube Honestly I can never trust Brickfanatics with rumours. Yes they are trying hard, and it is hard, but they often produce far too much content based on too little information. Shame that the reveal isn't today. Would have loved them to have teased the next reveal a year ago. Oh well. It will release at some point, and I'll likely buy it, but only when there is a suitable GWP or offer to do so. As with all sets they release.

    New Bricklink Designer Program launching in 2023, with sets releasing in 2024. Looks like it will be up to five sets in each round, with up to 20,000 sets available of each that make the 3,000 minimum. Designer Program [BrickLink] Open to any new designs. They're hoping for up to three rounds per year. Designer Program FAQs [BrickLink]

    I appreciate what they try to do, but I find that Brickfanatics can make an article - full of loads of spammy links - out of anything. None of that gives us anything new, other than just more speculation. The updating of the competition is fairly obvious that something will happen at some point. The other about a new video could be about anything?

    That's very impressive!

    Ah ha! Only a lizard person would say that! It would be so pleasing if they did this and put the easter egg in a full year beforehand.
  15. RichardGoring
    I don't think it's entirely fair to say that they are completely out of touch with the adult market. Yes, some failures, but look at some of the other recent stuff. Eiffel tower, Titanic, botanicals, Back to the Future Delorean, Optimus Prime, Daily Bugle, Sanctum Santorum, Thanos Infinity Gauntlet, motorized lighthouse, starry night, not to mention Galaxy Explorer and Lion Knight's castle. They are just producing so much more. Let's hope they are in the amazing set camp for Lord of the Rings.

    Fat grumpy Friends cat is also in 41742 Cat Hotel as a dark brown hungry/licking cat.

    And a new Alsatian puppy in the 60369 moving police dog training (and an adult one too).
  18. RichardGoring
    Fascinating, but also curious, given that they already to happy with 50 shades of lime, dark red, and gold. Probably others.

    Briq Foundation is reporting that Santa's Workshop will also be the Christmas in July GWP next summer, so another chance to get it.
  20. RichardGoring
    That's a pain. I was planning my next order during the December double VIP decent, if they do it again. Oh well. It can wait.

    The final five are up and, for me, they appear to have left some cracking models out of the final, which is a shame. Obviously, I couldn't do what any of these creators has done, but there's really only one that is vaguely appealing. The LEGO designers will almost certainly bring the winner to life a lot more, but still disappointed not to see others in the final vote.

    I'm probably one of the few, but I really like the brick built dinosaurs when at a sensible scale. The T-Rex breakout was probably about as small as you can go for it to be brick built, but personally I love it. However, I can see that moulded is better for consistency, as anything smaller would look really bad. But the brachiosaurus could still look great brick built. Either way, excited to get it! I've been buying those sets whenever I find them cheap. The rest of the build isn't great, but I've got five of them now and just part out the rest. One day I'll create a vignette of the flocking this way scene. Love that one! Me too. As much as it's nice not to spend loads on LEGO, there's definitely a balance between price and doing the set justice. I hope it works out well.
  23. RichardGoring
    The set names sound so good. The prices almost feel too little to do the scenes justice, so I hope it's all OK and not a lost opportunity. Really looking forward to hearing more about them.

    Oops, typo. I meant purple bags. I get the bags vs box thing, but thank you!
  25. RichardGoring
    I've not been into CMFs long enough, and never care for packaging, but what is the desire for purple bags about?
