Black Falcon

Maybe it is a special code they use for review-sets?

It is almost sold out.

The head is avaiable but seems like the body is not. Anyways not a good deal since the head is already almost as expensive as the whole CMF.

Well honstly after I´ve read the posts here I expected worse. But yeah the set kinda has the same issue like Majisto had now, that we saw the prelims and had expectations based on them. And less Minifigures and less Animals + less trees is a huge disappointment. Well I said before that less than 10 Minifigures would be a huge disappointment, so that is that. Another thing that strikes me is that they even removed the cow from the prelim, which should have been included since the Market village had two. The colour sheme also still doesn´t look good to me, so honestly I might just get some minifigures from Pick a brick later and skip the set. I will wait for the release and more and especially better pictures to really judge the set though.

I would expect it to happen somewhen on daytime in europe.

We will know for sure tomorrow but it seems very likely to me. Fan Medias also get Lego sets ahead of time so they have the time to build/review it and are able to have the reviews ready when the sets get revealed.

Since there was a specific date rumoured I would actually think it will be that date. As mentioned above, Eldorado was just three weeks, Rivendell was more, so there isn´t really any rule that would let us predict the reveal date. Also fan medias that got the set/got to see it also get the date/time when they are allowed to upload their videos/blog posts, so it seems more likely that one of those is the source of that date IMO.

Forestmen Hideouts Torsos showed up in PaB because they are used in Lion Knights castle. The Blacktron minifig is actually the only GWP exclusive minifigure that I remember showing up on Pick a brick, so no idea why you are so sure that baby will show up there.

I don´t know, to me it seems like they have no real info, aside from that there won´t be any of the original actors, which leads them to calling it a reboot, but I don´t think it will be a reboot of one of the existing films.

The Lion Knights Castle was revealed 6 weeks before, though that was at the Lego Con, so you can´t really count that. Eldorado Fortress was revealed 3 weeks before and Rivendell was revealed on 7th february and sold on 8th march, with VIP presale on 5th - so an reveal tomorrow doesn´t seem unlikely to me.

They don´t state any source there so we don´t know. But they often refer to Brick Clicker as one of their sources so surely he is one of them. It isn´t uncommon that Insiders can buy the set earlier than others, they did the same with the Lion Knights Castle or Rivendell. This isn´t a preorder btw, you can actually buy it then.

That seems unlikely to me, since it was said by two different sources (unless Brickclickers source is the first one ofc), also the set will be sold next month, so it would be rather late if we have to wait much longer.

So given we think the set is supposed to be revealed tomorrow, I would have expected to get a teaser video by now. Well, seems like we ain´t getting one for this set.

I would try places like Ebay at the time it is avaiable, as many are selling their unwanted gwp right away there and it usually should be able to get one cheaper there than on bricklink. I think GWPs beeing sold two times a year is pretty common now, and there was quite some time between both times it was avaiable. Possible they had quite some leftover and produced more for a second run but it seems also likely that it was just planned from the beginning. Possible some might do that, but I think most will wait for may the fourth or for the nonexclusive ones just buy them with discounts.

I would have prefered colours like tan, maybe white. I can see why they used red for the Inn since the original guarded in was red too but then also the olive and sand green aren´t colours I would have used for the set.

When I take a look is especially see some quite cheap offers from Chinese Sellers, which you would have to ship over the whole globe and also make shipping not that cheap. If I look at the avaiability from sellers in my country Forestmen Hideout is 35€, Blacktron indeed is 25€ but I think if that minifigure wouldn´t have been avaiable at Pick a brick that price might have been a bit higher too. Majisto is 30€ but we shouldn´t forget if we argue with the high threshold, that you got more than one GWP for this price and it was sold for Insiders-Weekend/Blackfriday which is usually a time with high sales. BTW, Gringotts is sold for 60€ here so higher prices are also possible, though I wouldn´t think the new GWP will be sold that high, but 30-40€ seem reasonable to me, especially because it has an exclusive Space baby. I think it depends on many things but obviously exclusivity to a certain set surely is one big reason a set can have an high price, especially when the set it is exclusive to is expensive. Other things beiing thresold, avaiability (like if it is sold at an double insiders for instance), how popular the gwp is etc. For example I think it could influence the price of the GWP if the Medieval Town Square could be preordered at the time the GWP is avaiable, as more GWPs might be avaiable at the marked I would think the GWP would be sold cheaper.

I wouldn´t mind if they would change some of the colours from the buildings, since my biggest issue with the prelims was the colour sheme they used.

I couldn´t have imagined they would do this Set without the witch honestly - she is just so important for this theme. I could have seen them not including the prince but then again doing a set in this size I kinda would expect even him.

I really liked the fan model, and medieval buildings in general. So together with the Medieval Town Square this is the model I am looking forward to the most. I just hope they don´t make it to different from the contest entry. I haven´t heard of any yet but surely we will get something this year - the question is just when.

I would guess the answer to this is quite simple. The rat is in production since 2018 so it is just cheaper to add them to sets than paying the budged to bring to mouse back. BTW, the old rat is retired since 2018, when they made the new one - the same year they also made the mouse. And the Harry Potter theme kept the rat alive. I also would love to see the mouse back, though I am not sure if we ever would get it back in it´s dual-moulded form.

Yeah, that seems unlikely, and surely they will have some of those creatures left over (and they will keep some for consumer support issues anyways) but I doubt they have such numbers lying around that they are making this set just to get rid of them. I don´t think it sold well compared to other Harry Potter Sets of the same line but I wouldn´t actually wonder if it still sold well all in all. The selling points of this Set surely were the buckbeak and the minifigures and surely many will have bought it also to have the wave complete and we also shouldn´t forget that it was part of the hogwarts layout they showed towards the end of this wave. The Thestral one surely was one of the ones selling very well, since you could easily get them for less than 15€ which is a low price that also makes them a great gift and you really get a lot in it - additionally to this it also was a set that some people might have bought several of to make more thestral-carriages for a display of. Well, it depends what you see as same here. The seal pack also had two different seals, The new Star Wars Battle pack surely has several of the same but at the same time also has different things included. In the end this pack has several macigal creatures, and he also wrote in one pack like a battle pack. And surely there are better packs to buy several of.

Yeah, well but the point really is in the end we don´t know. So if you are waiting for them to show up elsewhere you might have to wait long, or it can just not happen at all - so when you really want a baby the best option is still to get it end of the month. BTW we had an Baby in a CMF already and getting a second one in the next CMF - and even that just because it is a space series, so I wouldn´t expect any classic space babies in the next time from CMFs. I don´t think it is impossible to happen that they would use them there - but then they wouldn´t have the classic space logo, since the city one is a bit different.

If you preorder Sets you get the GWPs. If you can preorder the Medieval Town Square when this GWP is avaiable I can see quite a few people preordering it to get this GWP, especially since we have no info about a Castle GWP that would be sold when the set is released yet. I don´t think we will see any Lego Movie related sets unless we get a third movie - which at this point seems unlikely too

No idea about the first question, but you do get double points for pick a prick.

Especially since we have no sign of any similar sets turning up in the new future. Even if they would make a new Classic Space Set like the Galaxy Explorer I don´t see them adding a Baby there, because they would likely stay close to the original as they did with the Explorer - and a baby just wouldn´t fit there. And I wouldn´t think they white babys will be pretty cheap on Bricklink either.
