Black Falcon

Ah, well I knew about the three animals they would search for some kind of medicine, but didn´t know the Mosasaur was actually leaked and not just a rumour. Aside from that, it is kinda an obvious choice, as it IMO is an important part of the franchise. So would have been one of my guesses anyways, with the other two beeing the T-Rex and maybe Spinosaurus? I just hope they use real dinos and not some clones again. I would kinda take T-Rex and Mosasaurus as granted, the third one seems likely to me, but there are some other options that also seem plausible, like Raptor ( I kinda hope they don´t use them though, but surely they will also be in the film anyways) or Pteranodon (that would make one air, water and terrestrial animal). Herbivores kinda seem unlikely since most of them are probably rather slow and easy to spot like brachiosaurus, though if it is one of them I would guess it will be a triceratops.

Do we already know that much? Haven´t heard much aside from a loose plotline but nothing really certain aside from the actors.

Might be that they count them as sold when someone goes from Bricklink to Lego - and refresh the data with removing copys that were not actually sold every now and then. Wouldn´t have expected it to go that fast, seems like the demand for BDP-Sets isn´t decreasing like some people claim.

At this point it does seem unlikely, since I think we will get LotR-Sets for now, since that is just more popular than the Hobbit - If they would choose to do an other Hobbit Set however, the Erebor seems like the most likely option - and actually it is a set that would greatly benefit from a bigger version. Not sure if stability is the main reason here. I mean the less parts they need the cheaper production gets. I really favour the raptors etc. with movable legs over the ones that can only move their jaws. Also adds more playability to the sets. Yeah the moulded Dragons, especially the Fantasy Era ones were great. Brick build Dragons, might look good too, but they ususally need a bigger size than the molded dragons had to really look good.

Oh well, I didn´t realise that when I voted honestly.

Well depends on how you want to see it. Sure it was no theme on its own, but you could also say it is a subtheme of ideas. Aside from that, even if you don´t let that one count, it would still be a returning Duplo theme.

Well, everyone can just make one vote, so because someone voted for something else he can still like UFO too. I kinda like all Lego Space themes, but of course I do like some better than others, though I would have big problems to really rank them.

Well they could just skip those if they are going to make it minifig-Scale. Though I would also think something like the Titanic is more likely to happen.

You know, another theme that came to my mind that could return when I thought about this yesterday was Winnie the Pooh. There are still plenty locations they could display, like Rabbits garden. Now is just saw that it will indeed return - just not like I thought. Winnie the Pooh rumoured to return to LEGO DUPLO in 2025 (brickfanatics.com) Duplo is still Lego though, so I guess it still counts for the quote above.

Well because he wasn´t named in the movie they couldn´t name him in the Set. But yeah, everyone knows who it is supposed to be.

They updated their post saying fanblockow, where they got the info from removed the info and is stating it was fake now. Doesn´t mean we will not get a mosasaurus but we will have to wait. Eitherway, Mosasaurus is kinda an important part in the JP franchise even if he didn´t get that huge screentime and I would be surprised if it doesn´t show up in the new movie. On the other side, it would have to be huge, so if they are doing it I would expect something similar to the Avatar-Whale.

Yeah, that is why I said at least for the sets stored away that would be the better choice, for the parted out stuff I see that it would be to much work. At least in your first comment it sounded like you have several sets sorted in seperate bags, so selling them on their own and the parts in bulk would be the best option IMO.

Bricklink is the best for this task IMO. On a side note, people would probably want to know which sets you have, rather than which parts. Especially for Sets you still have assembled that would be the way to go I think, same as ones sorted back in bags - for outparted stuff however it would be harder to do since you would have to be sure that all bricks are still there - after all people usually want to have those sets complete. Eitherway it probably would make you more money to sell individual sets rather than everything in bulk - on the other side it is more work ofc, but especially for sets you still have assambled that would be the better way.

Wouldn´t be surprised if it takes till next year. I mean they would probably want to be done either some weeks before black friday since I would expect them to get more orders once the change is applied, with some people holding out till then with orders. And since black friday and the time after orders usually went up anyways, it isn´t a time where I would expect them to do such changes, so next year doesn´t seem that unlikely. We will see I guess.

The leak subreddit doesn´t post such images though, since they will be taken down if they do. Haven´t seen it there at all. And not using Instagramm but I would expect it to get removed there too.

Yeah exactly. Like no chance we will see them doing a big icons set so short after the playsets - especially since I think that the most iconic location they could make is already on the shelves. For now, I think a big icons Adventurers Set is more likely to happen than an Indiana Jones one.

Well seems like it is the same part, so maybe one hit the ground and an employee just threw it back into a box without looking which one. Still strange but not impossible to happen it seems.

Yeah, since both aren´t exactly included in that expensive sets their bricklink prices aren´t that high actually. Then again, not everyone knows/uses bricklink - the question is just, how many of those use pick a brick? Was there any estimated time mentioned on how fast those changes will apply? Didn´t sound exactly like it would happen that fast from what I´ve read, but could depend a lot on the real wording there.

For LotR we still don´t know if we will only get another Icons set, or some other sets to though. So far there have been rumours for real sets, but nothing that would make us belive it is really coming I guess.

You mean Rivendell I guess? Yeah, when I first saw it I thought I must have it. Honestly a bit disappointed about the minifigs, but aside from that it looks just great. If the Fellbeast would have worked on all LotR-Sets I would have gotten the Fellbeast then, but sadly it was just for the Tower sadly.

It was more like decide yourself which of them are true or something. So that could mean all are right aswell as all are wrong. Might even have happened that something is returning now which was on the list and not known to return back then yet.

I think you are underestimating the demand for Army building in other themes a bit. Especially Fantasy- and Medieval- themes have always been quite popular for Army building. You can also see that quite well when you´re looking at the CMFs and which figures are the most popular there. Or Pick a Brick when new Medival figures are released there. Some people got huge Armys of the Black Falcon and/or Lion Knights avaiable now to build their armys and the same goes for all the older castle and fantasy factions such as dwarfs, trolls and orcs. As for Lord of the Rings, Rohan Army´s also exist, though as the figures are quite expensive nowadays that also limits the number of course - but with a new source for reasonable priced Gondor or Rohan-Soldiers aswell as Orcs those numbers would surely increase. d They would buy the bigger set but only once. More people would buy the smaller set and while surely there are many that buy it only once, and the number of people that buy ten or more copys for army building would be relatively small you shouldn´t forget that people also buy those sets for their bricklink stores to sell the figures seprately - or well ebay, amazon etc. So I wouldn´t underestimate the numbers some single people might buy for themselves or their stores. Aside from that I don´t actually think that the number of people that would buy 2-5 copys would be that small either. You could have said the same for LotR Sets in general though. They haven´t done them for years. And yet when they did it again it was a success still. ;). I can understand that. I had no interest in Barad-Dûr at all really. I mean it looks great and all but it just isn´t soemthing I would like to display. On the other side I really do like Rivendell but havn´t bought that either yet. Still not sure if I will, since I don´t really have a place for it and it is still a lot money. I´d need a bigger appartement first. Might regret it later if I am not getting it though, but for now I still have time to think about it before it retires. Bag End on the other side is again something I am not as interested in. So would be an easier skip again, though you never really know before you´ve seen it. But personally I would rather have a small Gandalfs Arrival Set again, that would be enough for me actually ;)

There is like no hint towards this theme though. And I honestly don´t see why they should make Sets for it now - there is no new Film coming, and if they had plans to do more sets they would have made them after the other sets.

Possible, but I don´t see why they couldn´t aswell be released in december for instance. We will see I guess. If they would plan for more than one Horizon set, they could still make it a theme. Wouldn´t be the first one off Set that gets a own theme. Well so far they are just our guesses and just because they were already teased doesn´t change that they are still returning themes. There is nor mention how many completely unteased themes will come - or how many will in general.

Well it kinda depends on how strict you see this themes that didn´t have sets hint, but Lord of the Rings could get sets aswell - at least all we got so far were sets for Icons or Brickheads but not the theme itself ;). Well also, aren´t we getting a new Avatar Film next year? So my savest guess would go towards sets for that one. Maybe also a new Horizon Set? Simpsons got already mentioned, so that doesn´t seem that unlikely at this point either.
