    According to Promobricks, there will be a new 90 year anniversary set to commemorate Forestmen as well. The small set will most likely be a GWP in June and not linked to purchasing the large 10305 Castle set. The re-released 6054 Forestmen's Hideout from 1988 will be improved for the 2022 version and contain newer elements like the long horn piece in black to form the tree branches, blue roof is made of four 1x8 tiles, lbg masonry bricks are used for the wall, 2 new printed shields with deer motive, a grey spear hanging, a 2x2 round tile with target print, a small, red, unprinted mushroom, a small pine tree, some flowers and red flag are also included as well. The 2 minifigures feature both green legs and torso with red arms and red print around the necks. One male figure has sideburns and wears a green Forestmen hat, the other female has a long, brown ponytail and sword. Set number: 40567 Name: Forest Hideout Piece count: 258 Nr. of minifigures: 2 (Forestman and Forestwoman) Release date: June 15th-22nd 2022 Availability: LEGO Price: Gift with purchase for >150 Euro Image from Chinese LEGO Store Calender. 6054 as comparison.

    Sorry about the error, seems the GWP will be available June 15th already. The castle only in August.

    I think the walls will be hinged and the castle can be closed up like this:

    No, I mean a clown with a tricycle shop selling balloons.

    Thanks for all the creative work you put into this. You can truly be proud of this feat! Hope we will see some official minifigures out of your bunch. With today's moulding and printing technology there are greater chances for that. See you around and best wishes!

    @Robert8 Why not continue with the greek alphabet? I love your minifigures and I'm sure you have plenty of ideas left. Surely TLG also takes inspiration from some of them.

    According to Promobricks, the new Fairground Collection set will be 10303: Loop Coaster, a giant roller coaster with a double looping and track segment elevator consisting of 3 coaster wagons that run on yellow bright light orange track. Also included are a hot dog stand, a pretzel stand, a clown with bike-stand selling balloons, a bench for minifigures to rest on and an amusement park plan. The elevator is operated manually, but the set is "Ready for Powered Up" and can be fitted with a battery box (88015) + motor (88013), similar to 10261. Set number: 10303 Set name: Loop Coaster Pieces: 3756 Release Date: July 1st 2022 Price: 359.99 Euro 399.99 € / $ (PPP 10.6 Cent) Nr. of minifigures: 11 (7 visitors, 3 vendors, 1 coaster operator) Size: W=85cm, H=92cm, D=34cm

    Created a new topic for this set. Moderators, please move to Town if it fits better there.

    The dumbest part about this design update is that LEGO has to reprint all 3 sticker sheets, update instructions and box when they could just send customers who want the new sticker sheets for free.

    I tried some door fixes digitally, since I didn't buy the set yet. Maybe someone can try them out and write back if they work. These two ideas require the replacement of the 1x4 dbg plate with two 1x2 plate modified with tow ball (22890). The friction of the socket and the wedge pieces should keep the doors from falling down. Afterwards they can be removed of turned downwards. I think the last one should definitely hold the doors and can be easily removed. It's a stack of two 1x2 plates with the tow ball pieces at 90° to act as a stoppers. Or even simpler a 3 piece stopper under the arch brick:

    Surprised the 2022 still remained on the box. Luckily I didn't buy this set yet mainly because of the wrong wheel cover sticker. But I'll wait a few month more until the retailers have the new stock only or in case LEGO decides to do some more changes.

    I received a new replacement sticker sheet after complaining to customer service about the color mismatch and to my surprise there is now a brighter lime and darker blacks version with a new ID: 6362705. Sadly the print quality is not as sharp as the initial version. This shows that if enough people complain about the NOK quality they are willing to improve it. I don't know whether or not this sticker sheet will be included in newer batches or only available as replacement parts, but I wonder if other sets will get the same treatment (e.g. the Vespa which suffers the same problem).
  16. R0Sch
    About the door's falling on their own, I think that the designer used the old type of Technic pins and the new ones (without center slots) having less friction ridges + made of softer material don't have enough friction to hold the doors weight. Could someone who already got the review copy test this theory with the old pins (6558 for 3L and 2780 for 2L)? I'm really annoyed by these new pins (introduced last year) and how much more difficult they are to disassemble because they're so slippery.

    I'm pretty sure it's doable, just needs the hinging point to be deeper so the wheels wouldn't get caught in the fender arches. As to the hoverboard. Why does the board need to be in the vehicle scale when there are 2 minifigures included? Does Marty use the board or the car?
  18. R0Sch
    And the best part about this new windscreen is this: BUT why not use the 49.5x20 tires for the rear and 49.5x14 for the front? The rear wheel is clearly wider and bigger in diameter, the least LEGO could have done is use the existing wider ones. Also that hoverboard looks crap compared to this:

    No one complained about the looks of 9398 which had the same cool color scheme. Some people forget it's supposed to be a kids toy not a display set for adults. In fact this color combination works so well that it can be seen in our fauna too with monarch butterflies, tigers, Calico cats, koi fish etc.

    Sorry you feel this way, but it was clear from the beginning when LEGO did the poll, that the anniversary set will focus on one theme only. I prefer one proper set over multiple mini-builds like they did with 40290: 60 Years of the LEGO Brick.

    Old ones should be better in terms of sideways stability. Also the ends not being (double) closed in the new version means the spring will not sit perpendicular to the axis and look "S" like. That's probably because of the constant pitch the new ones have. The old spring had closed ends so they work more progressive towards the ends. The instructions still show the old part nr. but, I'm pretty sure you already got the newer 6378472 in your set. LEGO usually updates the instructions after first batches have been produced. I remember getting the new type of black pins (without side slots) in the 2021 January sets even though the instructions still showed the old, regular pins.
  22. R0Sch
    Check the parts list in the instruction for the number. There are now 3 versions of yellow spring and 2 of the lbg ones. Digital image might vary from physical part, but I reckon you got the newest batch of parts. This is just another example of part update / production optimization. It's much cheaper to produce a spring coil with equal (equidistant) windings. Even if the spring force was kept the same, the sideways bending will be adversely affected by the increased nr. of windings and thinner wire, leading to shock absorbers jamming.

    Like pneumatic tubes since made of rubber and cylindrical+hollow.
  24. R0Sch
    At least we know the price now and it's going to be 180 Euro and released April 1st as previously rumored. So expect pics in a week or so.
