Black Falcon

I think it will depend on whether it was planned to make it avaiable for a second time or not. The forestmen hideout was planned to be avaiable twice from the beginning and it wouldn´t wonder if the same would be true with the Blacktron-Cruiser, though we can´t be sure about that one. Anyways there have been some GWPs that sold out quite fast but haven´t come back, so I don´t think they will bring a GWP back just because of that.

Of course they will still sell them in their shop, since there it is easy to reach the main audience of their products. And in the end, even though Lego isn´t producing those products they still get a part of every sale so it is in their best interest to sell more of them. As for the survey, it still was ordered by Lego, since some of the Licensed Products come from different manufacturers - and in the end we also don´t know how those agreements work. I mean, sure, companies can get the license from Lego to make certain Products but it is also possible, that at least for some of those Products, Lego is actually just having them produced by other companys.

Honestly, I don´t think it would look good and there are better versions how they could depict it. Not sure what would be a good choice, though since it depends a lot on how big it needs to be in the set.

Wasn´t it, that it would be the same, but without the pauldron? I mean it has been a while, and I won´t try to search for that statement now, but IMO that is what was said back then.

As for the wheelchair, I think most of the illnesses can actually be healed by magic, though of course possibly not all of them - anyways it should be an quite rare occourence to have a wizard kid needing a wheelchair compared to humans. And we are speaking about Magic users here, they certainly have better ways than elevators, like flea network or well, just letting the wheelchair fly. They stated that they would keep close to the books, so I don´t see any of this happening really. Of course there can always be changes, like when one of the actors quits, though of cours they can also just give someone else the Role. We have seen both happening in the movies with Dumbledore and Crabbe

Well I have to say while I certainly don´t need a series, I don´t mind them doing it. The real question is just how good it will be done. And if it isn´t made good we just can not watch it. As for Sets, there are certainly pros and cons. On the pro side we would be able to get sets for scenes and locations that are not displayed in the films. But that is also where the big con starts, since all the minifigures would look different from the films and while it certainly would be an issue to get an different looking Harry Ron and Hermione with other Figures it would be an issue if we plan to include them in Filmdisplays. I actually meant those Sets that are D2C in NA but not in Australia. As far as I could see in this forum all the Sets we can only get from Lego here are also exclusive from Lego in NA at least. Which aren´t actually that many I think. Lion Knights Castle, Diagon Alley and Gringotts come to mind, but there are also some smaller Sets that are just sold by Lego exclusively. Yeah, just that not all of them are excluvie to Lego only, some are just semi exclusive, like the Hogwarts Express, the Icons or the Castle.

Well since we have a new wave this year we would kinda expect that one to be three years anyways so I would guess if they do Sets for the new Series it will come 2027 at the earliest. The anniversary you mentioned is another reason that makes it unlikely they will go with sets for the series right away - though of course Warner will have a say in this too, so we will see.

It was more about which sets that are exclusive to Lego are not exclusive in Australia, not which are exclusive at all. As for Legos exclusive partners, there are quite a lot here. Müller is, as you mentioned, one of them (they have Viking Village and Eldorado for instance) and Smyths took over the agreement from Toys-R-Us (they had the Galaxy Explorer and Grimmauld Place), then we have Amazon (Rivendell), Galeria (they usually have the Modulars and also had the Medieval Blacksmith), Alternate (Venator, Boush Helmet), and mytoys which was closed last year but Otto might have taken over this one.

From this Survey.

Doesn´t seem unlikely to me, since it maybe is one of the most Iconic Castle Sets, that isn´t actually showing a castle - especially given we already had the Forestmen Hideout, Majisto´s Workshop as GWPs and the Guarded in the Town Square. So it would be no surprise if they choose to make this next, and I would love to get this - and especially it should be a set that is more widely affordable. On a side note, we also got a reference for that Black Knights in the Medieval Town Square, since there are three stickered Letters in that Set showing the crests of the Lion Knights, Black Falcons and the Black Knights. So this could aswell be a hint that this would be the faction we would be getting next - or can just mean the Designer is a fan of this faction. Same as I wouldn´t put to much thought in them choosing the Ghost as one of the models for the Lamp. I mean the Ghost is a quite Iconic Minifigure and overall a good choice for the lamp, if they are doing it with Glow in the Dark. Anyways, when we consider the Wolfpack beein back and both the Ghost and the Black Knights as possible references to an possible Set the Black Knights Castle would come to mind, since it includes all three of them. I could actually see them doing the Wolfpack Tower next Year and the Black Knights Castle for the Year after.

Interesting, which ones would that be for instance? I´ve heard that it would be like this a few times, but never actually specific Sets were mentioned, so would be interesting to know which Sets that actually are, especially since I would say that NA, Australia and Europe are quite similar markets. In the end budget and space are things that will always limit us and personally I don´t have a maximum I am willing to spend, though of course the more expensive it gets the more you will have to think about buying it - though it doesn´t really make a difference for me whether I buy 10 Sets for 400 in total or the Lion Knights Castle for the same price - but yeah in the end it is a though decision to make, on which Sets I am going to pass.

I only want the glow in the dark Ghostlamp if we are getting the real Glow in the Dark ghost back. Preferably in this Set: Well we can dream at least. Anyways, they asked for many different things so even if many want T-Shirts and Upscaled stuff, I do belive that many will vote for the lamp too, especially because they depicted the ghost there. I would guess it will end up in the top 5 at least, though of course we will never know as they won´t reveal any results out of this.

You get that for Surveys you do in the Lego Insiders section, but since that one was not, i didn´t expect points anyways. You could have just choosen not to do it, no idea how this is a rip-off. Wouldn´t be that unlikely they make this. Though, I have to say that the plushies they made yet all look quite ugly to me and I think if they would have been made with better look/quality they would sell better too.

Yeah there were quite a few things I didn´t see in the pictures, such as the hatch in the carpenters house and some of the things mentioned in your post. The paint splotches are one thing, where, now that I´ve seen them, I have no idea how I could miss them lol.

If you also like Fantasy and not only historic medieval Castle, the upcoming Dungeons and Dragons Set might also interest you - and if not we get a CMF in September that is also based on Dungeons and Dragons which at least might have some usefull parts for your medieval world. Both are not revealed yet so we don´t know exactly how they will look like.

Honestly, I didn´t pay that much attention on how long it usually is from teaser to reveal. But if we would check throughly I would guess it would turn out to vary from a day to some days.

Hmm, actually I think it is more likely that people buy the set when it comes out and later the minifigures when they are released - if they would do both at the same time some people might just buy some figures - though I don´t think the number of people that would decide different would turn out to be that big. Or Thursday, or Friday, or next week. Though I would say if we don´t get them this week it would likely be early next week then - unless they have more teasers.

Same in Europe, seems like they underestimated how popular it would be.

Well, the bigger surprise should be that they are released that close to each other in the first place, the reveal is in the end resulting out of that. I wonder if there is a reason they made their releases that close, in the end they could have just made the DnD now and the Village in Summer or Fall. Which set are you referring to?

Possible, but doesn´t necessarily need to be the case. I wouldn´t mind if they would do though.

I wonder if the shield and other parts will be included in the set. Hard to tell what the printed tiles even show. Possible, but then they would need to use something like transparent panels, since I don´t think it would work built out of 2x2 bricks or so.

It isn´t really a question if you like D&D, I mean in the end you have their Logo on the Set, but you can aswell just use it as a normal fantasy or to include it into your medieval setting. Only thing you might have to do is to replace some of the heads if your other figs are yellow.

As I said, other Dungeons and Dragons-Threads are here, so it would be strange when other threads of the Theme are in this subforum while this one would be in Licensed. I have no idea who once made the choice that Lord of the Rings and such are here and not there but there should be a certain amount of consistency. So yes, it does fit better here because of similiar threads are here aswell and I guess if it would have been the wrong place to open it, a Mod would have moved it already. But as I wrote before, I can understand that it can be confussing that almost all other licensed threads are in licensed but many of the medieval fantasy based licensed threads are in this subforum. I have to admit I was wondering about it before, but I actually like them all beeing in one place honestly.

Because other medieval fantasy themes are in this subforum too (including other D&D threads). I do agree that it can be confusing, but on the other hand it really fits better here than there since the Dungeons and Dragons Set and CMF both also will have a big appeal from Castle Fans. Lord of the Rings is here too ;). The Subforum even especially mentions it.

I am actually surprised how much details they are putting into this series, given how many new parts we are expecting and the overall setup in general. Like the Aarakocra for instance gets two new moulds for head and wings but is also getting a companion but the dino costumes got no accesoires at all. Speaking about the Ranger, I do wonder why they took the choice to make this one a ranger. I mean, he gets a bow, so it will be the typical Archer Ranger, which would mean they either skip on the quiver - or it is added to the wing mould. I would honestly prefer if it would just not have a quiver in this case, since you can better use the Aarakocra or just the wings for other Classes/purposes then. Yeah, honestly, I don´t think we will get a wolf either, because if it would be a wolf, I don´t think they would mention it as a dog. The same kinda goes for the bird, though it could also be that they just called it bird because the didn´t know whether it is a eagle, falcon etc. We will see when it comes out. Well if we are looking at the set, pretty much most of the budged went to the minifigures with it. Honestly, I wouldn´t mind to get the falcon back sometime but for this set I am happy they didn´t include it in this set, because I´d rather have them doing something else with that budget instead.
