Black Falcon

It is partly exclusive only, meaning one of Lego´s exclusive Partners will sell it - like the Galaxy Explorer for instance. It should be avaiable on 1.1.24.

Exactly my thought. I just hope they use all their budget on new prints for the minifigs, shields, signs and animals - and rather have knights reused from the LKC than other minifigures - however I am sure we will see some parts reused eitherway but the less the better.

If that would be the case, the Ornithopter would be part of the Dune Theme and not an icons set. So it is very, very unlikely, that it will be Dune.

I would think we will - might also depend if the sets were selling well enough, though - however I would have been surprised to see sets this year without a new film.

I think Redbeard is by far the most iconic one when it comes to Lego and so he can be the only choice.

In Germany you usually can preorder those sets so you can already buy them but they get shipped when the date is due - however some people already got their minifigures delivered early for instance. I guess they just don´t care so much and rather want to make room in their logistics.

The only country that was sold in was denmark for the last series - and at least in Germany there is no sign it would be sold this time either. I think someone in this forum stated it was sold in one other country (sweden if I remember correctly) but that should be it.

The review I was talking about is from a german Blog - their boxes were packed in Czech Republik. As mentioned above they only had the barbarian with small codes (6 of them, from two 36-packs). However when I look at the pictures posted of the big and small codes, the small codes state they are packaged in calendar week 42 or 44 - while the big codes have 46 printed on them. Based on few pictures you of course can´t make a reliable conclusion but it seems to me like they changed to the bigger codes while they were already packaging those figures. However they also included a picture of two boxes with small and big code and when you scan the big one it shows you 6472869 as the first number - reddid says 6471969 is the E-Sport-Girl, however as you can see the numbers are different - and the box included the Triceratops guy, so it doesn´t seem like it is just the 4th and 5th number beeing different by packaging location. Of course it is possible that the last four numbers are different between mexico and czech and all european boxes have the same system but different codes.

Wasn´t it last year that they didn´t make any reveals there? So might be they just stopped doing so completely.

Yeah but I am pretty sure that isn´t what hikouki meant. While surley they can and will add animals in advents Calendar in the future, an animal calendar with one animal every day (or even only every second) is more than just unlikely to happen. Additionally, it seems to me like more than 5 Advents Calendar seem pretty unlikely to happen anyways, since most people would buy one, not several (for their kids at least). That beein said, with the Goat apearing next year in two sets, I wouldn´t wonder of they also include it in the advents calendar.

That is the typical clickbait title. Which is the first reason not to click on it lol.

I would guess all of them can have it. Maybe it is just one of the production line having the small code or whatever - anyways one of the reviews had the barbarian as only figure having the small code, so it does seem very likely it can just be all of them.

My guess would be: Egypt. It is just the most Iconic of those IMO and it seems more likely to me they would bring an old one back instead of starting something completly new. However most likely for me it seems they would make just a single set like they did for the other themes a big pyramid with lots of details and features.

What they said doesn´t mean anything for the future. It is clear they won´t do something the next years (although even there you never know if they aren´t just doing some animation series of whatever, where you don´t need to recast anyways). But that won´t hold them of from doing so in lets say in twenty years. I disagree here. Sure there are many that think of him as the only one that can play Indiana. But in the end everyone can be replaced if they want to and even make a good film from that - the real problem I see there is they need a good story. I finally watched IJ5 yesterday, and well. While it surely had good moments, it also had clear weaknesses. And storytelling was one of those.

Well they stated they wanted to improve it, so I am having hopes it will get better again. And while it certainly wasn´t that good when it started it still had some interesting parts - which I sadly missed because they all got removed when I next made an order in their Online-Shop.

It started with very few parts of each category and got worse once even some of them were gone. There were admitedly some good ones at the beginning, but I wouldn´t say it was ever really good.

Ah well, for me that seemed more like some look back at some Lego Sets they did before and not exactly a hint on their return. However I think they are still the faction that is most likely to return in the nearer future, however for now they might keep producing factions they already have.

I must have missed that, when did they do that? I actually don´t think the falcon on the cape is the problem, but for me at least, the caps just is way to short which makes it look strange.

I see what you mean, but really with some of them I am just not sure if it is a minifigure or just something else lol. However, I´ll blame you if I am disappointed when we get less than twelve now ;).

Yeah, right. I think it is getting to late, lol.

I actually don´t think so - the modules fit into the space between the shuttles wings, and the station clearly doesn´t. It should be possible however to just dock it on other modules of the station.

The quality of that was so bad, I couldn´t find ten there.

Yeah, they will just add them as generic soldiers and are done with it, if they would ever happen to do a set like that. Willow was just not very well made honestly. There were moments where it seems like someone is waving a flag with "we just don´t care about that franchise" on it. They have done it with other franchises, and they failed and succeeded with them. In the end it will depend on how (good) they will do it. In the end what matters isn´t if people that watched it liked it, but how many people watched it - ofc if more people like it, it is also more likely more people will watch it. But when you read the comments in this very thread about it, the opinions were kinda mixed. I haven´t watched it myself yet so can not judge it.

I would guess for 10-12 Minifigs, with anything below that beeing a huge disappointement and everything above is very much welcome ;). As for the animals, I would guess it will be close to the prelim. In that we had a cow with calf, two sheep, one horse, 3 owls, two squirels, a cat and the goat. Same goes here as for the minifigs, more is always welcome but less would be disappointing. Maybe they could cut one of the owls and add a chicken instead.

Yeah there are some pretty cool features included. What actually surprised me most is, the way you can use the ground bases spaceship to actually carry all the containers.
