    There was a 2nd version of the picture in much higher resolution on Reddit, and you can see it’s called the Old Guarded Inn and has two goats heads in the top corners

    Is that an official photo? For some reason I thought it was just a build someone did from the description!

    It sort of reminds me of one of the designs submitted to Lego ideas. I’m sure there was a pub recently? It is VERY British. I think it looks extremely fun to build but I agree with whoever made the point earlier about being tied geographicly so specifically, whereas the other Modulars could be anywhere.

    Meh. I just got sent a link to it on someone’s IG account and agree, now that I can look at it for longer the top of the box looks like the top of the boutique hotel, and agree re: similarities. Dammit. Actually looks very nice! Feel a bit foolish now, sorry.

    I can’t find it anywhere else. this didn’t look like a corner to me, but I only saw it for about 2 seconds before I clicked on the image and got a ‘no longer available’ message. Could have been fake I guess, but haven’t come across any fake images of this set yet. Was hoping others saw it too.

    I’m drawing a blank trying to find it somewhere. The fact it was removed makes me think it might be real though? Did anyone else see it?! Overall impression was it was a cross between a small natural history museum and this alt build of the boutique hotel :

    I just very briefly saw a photo on Facebook claiming to be of the new modular, and then when I clicked on it it was no longer available. It looked like a townhouse one baseplate wide, with the middle higher than either side, and steps leading up to a raised ground floor. My impression was of tan, olive green and maybe brown, with white pillars and detailing. I can’t find anything on Reddit, but am going to look on Instagram. I also feel like it has a balcony in the middle as well, but it’s so hard to remember. I wished I’d looked longer before clicking on it.

    Annoyingly, I updated the Bricksearch app in a shop today and it now only lets you scan 12 times a day. Luckily I found another and finally snagged a couple of paladins.

    I think one of the torsos from this set looks like it could work as a Viking one

    A ‘proper’ photo of the Wolfpack guy (and the other upcoming CMFs) is currently on reddit

    Is there definitely not? I wasn’t sure if maybe there was still one we don’t know about? Agree, it’s a shame if there isn’t.
  12. Westbrick
    I saw it in real life today in the Leicester Square Lego store and it looks very good. I’ll definitely buy it at some point. I think you may be right. It’s a nice idea (in theory) to get it at Christmas and actually have some time to build it, but oh well.

    Has anyone built the ship from 76440? I’m not interested in the carriage (although a horse is always useful) but the ship itself looks like it could fit into the medieval theme? There’s a deal on it through Argos in the UK, so am considering it.
  14. Westbrick
    What would one search for? Or do you have the @ of anyone who posted it?

    I’m almost ashamed to admit this but I’ve never used any of them, which I know is TOTALLY not the point, but I just like having them. I tell myself one day I will ‘spend’ them but let’s see… I think on the top down photo of the botanical garden, they’ve removed most of the interior/plants. There seems to be enough of them in the other photos. I’ve just seen the ‘books are my passion’ GWP, and that makes me more tempted to bite the bullet for a 1st November purchase if it hasn’t run out! I’ve bought a few of the bigger sets (lighthouse, Modulars, etc.) from John Lewis in the UK as they periodically do 20% off, so it’ll be interesting to know if they’ll be selling this botanical garden.
  16. Westbrick
    The official reveal of the ideas botanical garden looks very nice. I like the GWP, but could live without it. The question is, do I wait for a discount. If anyone in the UK knows, how likely is it to have a discount later next year? (Will it be sold by John Lewis, or other retailers?) I waited to see if the Family Reunion Celebration would get one and almost missed out completely!
  17. Westbrick
    Perfect thank you! Okay, I think that will be very easy to mod into a modular. Just no flower garden at the front and a couple of side bits for the connections. I think it looks great!
  18. Westbrick
    Where abouts did you see the new ones?
  19. Westbrick
    Do we think the Botanical Garden is the set Lego is revealing ‘live’ on October 22nd? They’re doing a Q&A with the designers.
  20. Westbrick
    The colour scheme seems to be slightly in keeping with the friends set. Maybe I can still salvage it somehow ha ha
  21. Westbrick
    I forgot the botanical garden release is November! I bought two of the friends 41757 versions and a load of pieces from pick a brick, but this looks so much better than what I put together!
  22. Westbrick
    I’d love a joust set too, as it would give a chance to show some new factions. Otherwise I could see Lego doing some smaller scale GWPs like a hay carriage, etc.

    On a related note, I was in Sainsbury’s (UK) yesterday and they had several box fulls of Series 25 in clearance, so snagged a few goatherders/basils for £1.40 each. Makes me laugh to remember how many stores I went to in the months following their release trying to find these 2! Wonder how long it’ll take for copies of the D&D paladin to be easier to find!
  24. Westbrick
    I’ve been trying to do this recently, as I’m a sucker for buying things straight away and not having time to build them for months/years(!) and have a backlog now. Waited all year to see if there would be a discount on the family reunion celebration 80123 as I want to mod it, only to realise it was retiring soon and on back order (in the UK anyway) so bit the bullet and ordered 2 of them last week.
  25. Westbrick
    Would they have a problem having 2 castles out at the same time per se? When I was young I think I remember there being more than 1 - admittedly that would have been the late 80’s / early 90’s so a long time ago and I may be misremembering! I think having a smaller castle to accompany the lion knight one would make sense, albeit I agree that the 3-in-1 castle fulfils that role - when does it retire? I also agree and don’t think they would count the bricklink one, as it was a limited - one time - run and so not readily available to everyone.
