    The way that Ankylosaurus is built makes me think it would be easy for Lego to make a Stegasaurus in the future reusing some of those pieces - especially since that new body piece has a swinging tail. I suspected the build for the Ankylosaurus might be more involved than the other dinosaurs when I saw the tail in early images, now I'm wondering what MOC potential these new pieces have. I'm really looking forward to picking this set up. I saw an image from the Camp Cretaceous series today, and it prominently featured a Carnotaurus. I know there aren't any sets based on the series that we know of yet, but if Lego releases some in the future then it would be nice to get another carnotaur, although would it be too wishful to hope for it to be the size of the Baryonyx this time? I mean, if they ever make sets from this series of course. It does look to be a prominent "character", though. It has a name and a distinct scar and everything.

    Brilliant! Excellent transition between the plastic and ice haha. I wasn't going to enter this year since I was lucky enough to win two prizes in a row I previous years but I will hopefully contribute something to this thread! I have something colourful in mind, which is unusual for me... Happy Christmas / holidays everyone!

    If it is real, then that Madalorian battle pack is excellent. I've not seen the show yet, living in a country without access to Disney+ but I'm wondering if these are named characters or "generic" Mandalorians.

    That new Polybag looks excellent. Really looking forward to adding that one to my collection.

    I really doubt we'll see any Endgame sets at any of the upcoming toy fairs. Disney won't want anything that would give the plot away. I think the only way we will get to see them is if something leaks ahead of time, like promotional material or blurry pictures of the sets in storage OR Lego will really clamp down on security and we won't see a thing until they want us to. I'm not too bothered either way - I plan to see the movie with as little prior knowledge as possible. Even though sets don't always correlate to movie scenes exactly I'm still not going to actively seek the sets. I have seen the leaked Hulk and Thanos figures, though. I like them.

    Here is my entry for this years calendar - I call him Santaur. Because he's a cyborg horse. I hope everyone has a great festive period, and of course once again thanks to CopMike for keeping up this great EuroBricks tradition. Good luck to all! Santaur by William Mills, on Flickr

    I'm really liking the look of most of these new sets. Not keen on the mechanical spider, but I really like the Spider-cycle and the little lab looks like it could have some useful parts. The Venom Mech is amazing, in my opinion. This is an excellent wave for a symbiote fan! I don't mind that the figures are updates of previously used characters, particularly Carnage. That tentacle build on his back is great. I would liked to have seen a character like Anti Venom or Agent Venom in one of the sets, though. Perhaps in the future, as the Venom movie has apparently been very profitable.

    I'm really liking the look of the new Ant Man and The Wasp set. Slightly disappointed that the figures don't exactly match - I'd rather the helmets be recolours of each other, rather than having one moulded and one printed but still, it's fine, really. My preference would be for Wasp's helmet to be a recoloured mold of Ant Man's, but if the budget wouldn't allow for that then it's understandable, but wish that the Ant Man figure would use the same printed helmet too. I think the build is fantastic. Very detailed, and I would say a decent parts pack, too. It looks like there's only enough room in the cockpit for one figure, but there seems to be plenty of areas that another could cling to.

    Here's my entry! Cybertree - A cybernetic enhanced Christmas tree who flies through the galaxy spreading Christmas cheer to alien planets. Thanks for running this raffle again and good luck everybody.http://Cybertree (2) by William Mills, on Flickr

    These sets sound great. The Ach To and Crait sets especially. Sounds like we might get a couple of vehicles in the Crait set, maybe like the A Wing VS. Vader's TIE set, but perhaps with one smaller and one larger vehicle this time. I've not seen the second trailer (or any TV spots) for TLJ since I want the film to be a surprise, so I have no idea what this "Storm Walker" looks like. The First Order seem to really like their walkers, don't they?

    I hope so. Last year Brickset were able to post very detailed descriptions of the sets that they were allowed to see, but if I recall correctly LEGO's UK PR team (or whoever handles their appearance at the toy fair) asked them to remove the details shortly after, most likely because they were too in depth. I also seem to remember Huw said the Brickset team wouldn't be attending toy fairs after this, and I'd say that was fair enough - why invite journalists to cover your booth and then penalise them for doing their job? Either way, New York Toy Fair is probably a better bet. Photography is usually allowed there, too, whereas in London it's usually prohibited.

    Thanks to everyone involved for yet another Advent calendar. Here is my entry - a snow Dalek ( I can't access my physical bricks at the moment, so LDD was m only option. Sorry for the weird angle, I find the software to be awkward at times) Best of luck everyone! Eurobricks 2016 Advent - Snow! by William Mills, on Flickr

    So this has appeared on Brickset: http://brickset.com/.../Accessory-pack EDIT: Nevermind, just saw it mentioned a couple of pages back.

    Hope I'm not too late! The gingerbread man and the yeti have finished cobbling together a rather ramshackle Christmas tree of their own...it's quite unstable. tree by William Mills, on Flickr Happy Christmas, Everyone!

    If I recall correctly, we got the Hero Pack polybag in Europe a month or so before the Americans did. Maybe this will hold true for this set, too. It certainly does seem plentiful, though. I've been tempted to pick one up on eBay. They seem to be coming from Croatia, I believe.
  16. Rocketbilly
    Yeah, I'd like to know more about that as well. As far as we know, it won't be a S@H giveaway for September, but perhaps it could be October?

    Fantastic! what an excellent interpretation of this set. The use of those old Knight's Kingdom armour pieces is brilliant. I've checked out the contest over on FLickr and there's some fierce competition - best of luck!
  18. Rocketbilly
    Not overboard at all. It makes perfect sense to me! hopefully you'll get a result from this.

    What if they only gain the title of Toa when they gain their golden masks or something?
  20. Rocketbilly
    To me those horns on the "crown" part look like they could end up being the claw pieces used as the little spiders legs. Perhaps this is what they look like worn as mask, with this special golden version being the one we get with LOSS?
  21. Rocketbilly
    I imagine that each Toa will have printing on their chest armour. It certainly looks like Tahu has it in the CGI image on the display stand and I think I can make it out on his set picture, too. The printing appears to look rather tribal, which is good...much better than the sort of printing that Furno in his Breakout form has (not that I think that it's a bad print, just that it wouldn't go with the Bionicle aesthetic) One thing that worries me, though, is that IF each toa gets printing, then Onua may end up with a sticker (that's if he uses the very large chest piece from The Hulk and Stormer XL, etc) since as far as Im aware that piece has always used stickers for decorative elements rather than print.

    I'd love for mask packs to return, however I doubt they will. As for heads, I hope we get a new one. While the head introduced with the Brain Attack sets is a very useful piece I would much prefer a solid coloured head with a transparent eye piece, like the Metru or original Toa head - I just assosciate them more with Bionicle characters and think that they look a lot better when seen through a mask. In my opinion they really emphasise that it's a character with a face wearing a mask.

    I'd like the exclusive figure to be something really special, but I have a feeling it'll be something rather simple. I doubt it'll be any form of bird character since I assume that the figure wil have to be assembled and placed in the little plastic blister that's part of the books cover - I imagine any winged character would prove too troublesome to fit. I'm expecting something like a young Laval or something along those lines.
  24. Rocketbilly
    Hmm...he probably knows what he's talking about, then Excellent news!
  25. Rocketbilly
    Ah is that so? how do you know this? I hope you're right, Chima is a fantastic theme and I'd hate to see it go prematurely!
