That's exactly what i am hoping too!

Nice to meet you Reuben Welcome to the forum!

I actually think the Crimson Firehawk looks good for a 4+ set. The market stall side builds look fine too. But the price is pure insanity. In a parallel universe this sets costs 20€ and not 53€

Artillery, grenades, but not Coca Cola bottles Fun little comic, thanks for sharing!

The Crimson Firehawk also leaked.

100 were guessed and all were wrong? Then it must be some really obscure character?!

Very nice minifig! The torch looks great and i too like that he sinks a little bit into the snow while walking.

Are they controversial?

There are some nice details in the Wizard's room! I like the bookshelf with the potions and scrolls. The fine window technique has been mentioned before But my favorite detail is the cane with the lightsaber hilt, ring and diamond!

Wonderful workshop with all those tools and stuff! I also like the upside down lanterns and knight's helmets and also the red and green vine. And i love the cobblestone technique with the 1X1X2/3 plates with bow!

Wow, that looks spectacular!

Looks great How did you update the picture? Did you remove the birds/spaceship by hand or did you fed the AI with the picture and told it to remove the flying things? Generally i must say, also taking the AI generated pictures into consideration that were posted before by @El Garfio and others, that AI often created very atmospheric scenes. And while it will take some years for the AI to design an actual Lego set, a lot of the artwork could be used as inspiration for mocs and i am looking forward to see some AI scenes turned into mocs.

Actually i think this is a explanation that has been applied retroactive and Lego was lucky that it fitted the narrative well for many years. I am sure that in first days of the minifigure and during development in the 70s nobody ever thought about yellow minfigs beeing of an other skin tone than white. Here's my personal opinion on yellow vs fleshies. I was born 1983 and grew up with only yellow minfigures but i am 100% sure that already as a kid i would have prefered skin tones because they are more realistic. Nowadays yellow minfigures look like fossils to me and i wonder why we still have them when there are much better ones available. I think the minifigures shown on the poster in the opening post look fantastic!! I too think Lego knows about this and i am sure they have done their own research. Like, asking children if they feel represented by this or that toy in a blinded experiment. And "by coincidence" one of the many toys presented in the survey was a yellow minfigure and others were minfigures with various skin tones. That's also the reason why Lego puts more non-white background characters in sets in recent years. Like in HP sets, or Marvel, ans there's also the recent Mandalorian Fleet Commander in SW sets/magazines. It's the same with emojis. White people use yellow emojis while in my personal environment non-white people use emojis that are not yellow and represent them better. Back to Lego. As i have said in an other thread, i am often very critical of the company but they are right when they go for more diversity and have disabled minfigures and minfigures of various skin tones. So all children (and adults) find themselves represented in the toy that they love playing with. I support that

Sure! I was talking about the Bavarian minifigure shown above. I don't know if all, but many of the international audience would identify her as German. Same as the other minfigs were you can instantly tell which country they represent. Of course we know that it is just a (fun) stereotype and that one minfigure does not represent a whole country or its people. My point is, that nobody cares if there is a stereotypical minfigure that resembles a German (while in fact it shows traditional clothes from Bavaria) while with other stereotypical minfigures Lego may enter a minefield. Sames as with yellow/fleshies.

Haha, i see i made a mistake when i was doing the research

The thing is, for example, nobody cares if all Germans are portrayed like they are wearing traditional Bavarian clothing, namely a Dirndl dress or Lederhosen leather pants. These clothes are famous in the world only because of the Bavarian booze and puke fest aka Oktoberfest Of course we know that not every Scotsman wears a kilt, that not every Englishman wears a bowler hat or every Japanese woman has her face painted white. At the end it always comes down to politics and it is a potential minefield for Lego.

These look great! I really like the white and colored ones with the jacket. Especially the blue one

I am often critical of Lego but here they have done right. Thanks for sharing!

The tension is rising! The anticipation is rising! Can't wait to see the winter and spring sets and hold them in my hands! Of the sets we know for next year, which are the most anticipated for you guys? For me it's the battlepack and the Tantive IV boarding set.

I understand, thanks!

What kind of rudder play feature is there in the SES? Some kind of tiller to move the rudder?

I am to old for this sh#t Why would anybody follow a liar?

Wonderful diorama! The trees and foliage on the ground work well together and everything looks so natural. Also a very nice cabin with a garden and water supply

Thank you guys for your kind words

Wow, very nice mini model! So much better than the magazine one. Do you know how many parts you used in your build? I remember the 2021 magazine turbo tank had almost 60 parts and the foil pack was pretty packed. So maybe yours would fit in?
