I will probably not sell my castle, but it's definitely at the end of my (rather large) backlog and it will most likely stay there until it's the only thing in my backlog. I mean, I think I'd rather have the Hogwarts castle and if I could get that and more for my Castle in the Forest...

Round 2 was a huge disappointment. I really wanted the ruined house and the calendar, but I had to settle with just Venice (which will be a great Christmas gift for my mother).
In round three we have nine sets and they're all rather large with just a single set below 2k bricks.
Space Troopers!: 2 622 bricks
I got plenty of old space sets from when I was young during the 80's so if it was a decent set I'd definitely be interested. However, I don't find this set interesting at all, and especially not at the price it'll cost.
This'll most likely not make the cut.
1950s Diner: 1 115 bricks
By far the smallest set this round. I personally prefer the modular old school diner, but it's really neat and I'm quite tempted to go for it.
Just like the bowling alley from round 2 I assume this'll get enough support.
Train Station: Studgate: 3 885 bricks
The largest set of the round. It's for sure a gorgeous train station. I just wish he decided to not include the rather dull looking train. Every single potential customer has got to already have at least a train. If it was a given that it'd become a real product I can understand why, but now it can be the reason why it won't get made.
I hope it'll make the cut but the price might be too high...
Working Waterfall: 2 150 bricks
I so want to love this set, but I really hate that the water seems to move upwards. I'd also prefer a slightly smaller set. I believe that this, just like the calendar, is too large for its own good. The price'll probably be higher than most people are willing to spend for a set like this, especially since a motor is included.
If it makes the cut I might go for it, but unfortunately I very much doubt it'll make the cut.
Exploratorium: 3 173 bricks
It's not a set for me, but I still think it's great looking. It has a lot going on, but maybe too much?
I have honestly no idea if this might make the cut or not, but I'm rooting for it.
Winter Chalet: 2 628 bricks
This it the set I'm definitely gonna go for, but just like Venice it's not for me but for my mother and her winter village.
I assume this'll get enough support from winter village fans to make the cut.
Modular Construction Site: 3 437 bricks
If the LEGO Store Modular could win round 2 despite not really fitting in with the rest of the modular buildings this has got to be one of the more popular sets in round 3. I kinda prefer completed modular buildings, but I can definitely see why people would want to add this to their modular street.
I'm quite certain this'll get enough support to make the cut.
Mountain View Observatory: ? bricks (but it has to be a lot)
I really like this. It's gorgeous and got loads of fun details. What I don't like is the sticker sheets I assume we'll get for most of the fun details. Will the price be too high? Hard to say without knowing the brick count, but it might be the case.
Gonna say the same thing as I did with the train station, I hope it'll make the cut but the price might be too high.
Brickwest Studios: 3 741 bricks
The saloon is mighty awesome, but it really need minifigs to be able to shine. Without them the film equipment is rather pointless and just increases the price.
Just because they got rid of all minifigs I kinda hope it doesn't make cut. Hopefully they'll reconsider...
Most likely to make the cut is (IMHO): Modular Construction Site, Winter Chalet, 1950s Diner
Most unlikely to make the cut is (IMHO): Space Troopers!, Working Waterfall
So what do you guys think about the third round?
