Oh, interesting! I didn't realize you were thinking of making the roads themselves wider. But I definitely understand where you're coming from — that would certainly require a lot fewer changes to your layout as a whole than having to either replace the margins of the old road plates with standard plates or move all of your buildings closer together. And I definitely understand your reasoning for not using the curve plates. They really are a real pain to work with unless you're the sort of builder who prefers to leave the studs exposed and in their base color.

Have they? I haven't seen any leaked pictures of them myself, or even anybody else other discussing leaked pictures of them, and from a quick Google search the only supposed "leaks" I see for Golden Nya/Anniversary Nya are edits/photomanipulations.

Well, there's the series 20 Space Fan minifigure who has a Galaxy Explorer T-shirt, and a couple recolors of the updated Classic Space helmet in a Ninjago set and a Disney set, but that's all I can manage to remember even after a quick look through recent stuff on Brickset to refresh my memory. It's possible there's more I'm forgetting, though!

Dang, with all the exciting LEGO news there's been lately, I almost entirely forgot that we're still awaiting more news about just what LEGO Mythica might turn out to be! The description of that definitely sounded extremely promising if it ends up being more than just a LEGOLAND park expansion. And truth be told, my hopes that it WILL be a brand that extends to more than just park attractions are certainly bolstered by how much more unique and ambitious it sounds than anything else that the LEGOLAND Parks have come up with in recent years, and how the branding suggests it being a LEGO Group IP rather than strictly a LEGOLAND one. Plus, with Hidden Side over, I feel like that leaves room for another original theme to take its place at some point this year. So fingers crossed for some promising news about that in the months to come…

Not that I expect it to impact your decision given how much you've invested in roads already… but how did you arrive at the conclusion that one pack of the new roads equals one road plate? 60304 contains four 16x16 road segments and one 8x16 crosswalk segment — in other words, an equivalent length of road to either 1 straight road and 1 T-junction or 2.25 straight roads. Mind you, you're totally valid in not seeing any benefit in replacing the roads you've already stockpiled or modding your layout to accommodate the difference in width and thickness that the new roads have from the old ones. From what I've seen of your Flickr, you've managed to create an amazing layout without ever needing to deviate from a grid of 32x32 baseplates. This is a really lovely layout! I love that you included a median strip along your town's "main street". It really helps to create a strong focal point, much like the public square in @Vindicare's layout. I also love that you went to the effort of including color-coded road markings (yellow markings between lanes going in opposite directions and white ones between lanes going in the same direction), just like on real roads. Great work, and congrats on coming up with your own road standard tailored to the specific road features that were most important to you!

That does sound interesting — but truth be told, reading this just further reinforces how much I miss the LEGO Elves theme, which was brimming with these sorts of elegant and otherworldly fantasy design cues. The same can be said for some of those Enlighten pics since they lift a lot of the aesthetics and building techniques for their elf faction directly from LEGO Elves sets like Naida's Epic Adventure Ship or the Elvendale School of Dragons. I dunno if anybody else in this thread feels the same way — after all, it certainly didn't meet a lot of Castle fans' criteria for a "real" Castle theme — but I'm not sure any other Castle theme to date has ever managed to craft a world that felt quite as vast, evocative, and full of new wonders just begging to be discovered as the Land of Elvendale. For my part, I don't know I can realistically expect any castle theme to resonate with me on the same level that LEGO Elves did — it'd certainly have to be a considerable departure from previous Castle themes in order to do so. But comments like make me hopeful that there might be some room for that kind of magical, adventurous world-building in whatever comes next.

Surprised that nobody here has been talking about the new LEGO Ninjago sets revealed in the New Zealand digital LEGO catalog published yesterday: https://catalogs.lego.com/BrandCatalog/1HY2021/bc-1HY-2021-nz/?page=66 Apparently Ninjago's 14th season/story arc is island themed, with a tropical islander inspired (though much more fantasy-based than historical) enemy faction and new "Island" outfits for the ninja. Lots of stuff here that Pirates fans might be able to make use of! Although the ninja costumes as a whole might not be great for Pirates MOCs or future Pirates sets, the Island variants of Kai, Jay, and Lloyd include new versions of their hair pieces with a molded headband. These could be a great fit either for castaways or for members of a pirate crew! Several of the sets also arm the ninja with a brand-new Warm Gold/Pearl Gold recolor of the machete/bolo knife piece first introduced in the LEGO City Jungle Explorers sets from 2017. The enemy characters carry ovoid shields printed with their iguana-inspired tribal emblem. This also appears on the cloth sails of their catamaran. A lot of their weapons are in white, giving them the appearance of being crafted from bone — this includes a brand-new recolor of the pre-packed Ninjago weapon assortment first introduced in 2018. The lower-ranking figures mostly wear painted masks or straw hats, while the leader wears a golden headdress with Bright Bluish Green/Dark Turquoise accents. The largest set from this subtheme, 71747 The Keepers' Village, features lots of great island landscaping elements including rocks, foliage, lava, and plates and tiles in sandy colors along the coastline. None of those landscaping elements have jumped out at me as brand-new recolors, but it might still make for a promising parts pack. In the Ninjago Legacy subtheme (which is inspired by sets or scenes from earlier seasons from the show), there's also a fair bit that might be of interest to Pirates fans, particularly the set 71735 Tournament of Elements. Besides some brick-built porcelain vases which would have been valuable trade goods during the era depicted in the Pirates theme, it also includes the aforementioned weapon pack in Transparent Green, representing carved jade. That set also includes three new minifigures of Ninjago characters who previously only appeared in the television series, with quite a few interesting parts between them: Bolobo uses the hair and beard piece from the Minifigures Series 2 Caveman in Dark Brown (not a new recolor, but a rare one) along with a shirtless torso with a feather necklace which might work nicely for either a pirate or a castaway. Gravis wears a new Dark Red recolor of the turban from the Minifigures Series 13 Snake Charmer and a matching outfit which seems fairly suitable for historical MOCs. Even the blind musician Jacob Pevsner wears a Bright Bluish Green jacket which might suit Pirates figs alright, though it's probably more directly inspired by the technicolor military uniforms worn by the Beatles on the cover of "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band". I think that's most of what would be particularly relevant to Pirates fans in this latest batch of leaks (at least, beyond what others have already mentioneed, like the Series 21 minifigs). But I'd definitely invite y'all to peruse the rest of the catalog in case anything else catches your eye!

I love the bag tag designs! They have such amusing facial features and I can easily see them being fun to either customize with different facial expressions or redesign as entirely different creatures! It looks like two different mouth patterns are included in each (you can see different ones in the main catalog images than the lifestyle images that show kids wearing them) Those will also a great match for the Series 4 Extra Dots, which will surely offer LOADS of creative potential even on their own! Given that it boasts 14 "surprise dots" in two different shapes (rather than ten in just one shape), I wonder what the breakdown will be for how many half-circle mouth tiles and how many circular eye tiles there will be to a package, how many possible patterns there will be for each, and whether they'll all be the same rarity like they were in the other "Extra Dots" packs. I can count eight different mouth patterns and 11 different eye patterns in just this one catalog image, and I suspect there might be at least a few more possible patterns that aren't visible on the front of the package or in the clear window. I have to admit, I do find it pretty surprising that none of the Extra Dots packs so far include the non-Series 1 patterns from the Creativity Boxes that were sent out to select fans to promote the launch of the theme. I wonder if/when we'll see a wider release of those? It feels weird that over a year later there's still no sign of any other sets containing patterns like the avocado, grapefruit, teacup, latte, lobster, peace sign, scared face emoji, angry face emoji, etc. The music bracelet and cool cactus bracelet are extremely stylish, but it's kind of a bummer that the bands are in colors that were already available in other sets. Anyway, here's a link to a catalog where you can see all the sets that have been revealed so far, in case anybody doesn't know where to find them: https://catalogs.lego.com/BrandCatalog/1HY2021/bc-1HY-2021-nz/?page=34

Yep! Plus, it's not like LEGO has never done that sort of thing before. Back in 2011, the Ice Dragon, the Samukai and Nuckal minifigures, and the first three Golden Weapons of Spinjitzu came out at the beginning of the year, but the other three dragons, the other two elite Skulkin minifigures, and the Dragon Sword of Fire weren't available until August. Likewise in 2012, the Skales and Fangtom minifigures came out at the beginning of the year, but the other three Serpentine leaders didn't come out until June.

I don't feel like that was a bad thing in the case of the City bus station. To me it seemed less like a case of the designers going: "Dangit, we're supposed to include a wheelchair in this set? Now we have to rethink the entire design!" …and more a case of them going: "How can we make this set feel new and different compared to other LEGO sets with buses? Oh, right, we have that wheelchair piece now, don't we? Let's put a wheelchair ramp and a wheelchair entrance in this set!" Frankly, I wouldn't mind if more sets ended up embracing that kind of opportunity. For example, I'd love to see a future installment in the Modular Buildings Collection with a wheelchair-accessible elevator inside and a wheelchair ramp out front, given that the only elevator in the series so far uses a door too narrow for wheelchairs to fit through and requires climbing a few stairs to even reach the elevator door in the first place.

I suspect it's probably colored "safety orange" as a high-visibility warning for pilots and technicians exercise caution around that part of the mech. The Power Miners theme used orange very similarly, with that color mostly showing up on or around any hazardous moving parts. In real life, the use of orange to signal mechanical hazards is a common recommendation with a lot of workplace safety standards, including OSHA and ANSI standards. I'm not sure if they're trying to imitate NASA specifically, or real-world space agencies more generally. After all, ESA, CNSA, JAXA, and Roscosmos spacecraft also often tend to be white with yellow, red and/or dark blue accents. I had assumed the bricks showing behind the windscreen of all three models were intended to represent pilots. But in the case of the main model it appears like it might be intended as a robot pilot, which raises some questions of efficiency! The other two models appear to have alien pilots that reuse parts from the green alien in the main model.

I'm pretty sure it's a recolor of the machete piece that was introduced in the 2017 LEGO City Jungle Explorers sets, just pictured at kind of an odd angle. A lot of the other ninja weapons for that wave seem to be based around that piece as well (Cole uses it at the end of polearm, Jay uses it at the end of a flail, and Lloyd uses it with the tassel piece that has been used on the hilt of his sword in earlier waves).

Not gonna lie, after studying Latin for five years in high school, I can't help but chuckle at "Chief Mammatus". I get that they probably pulled the name from the cloud formation in accordance with the thunder/lightning theme they're following with this new enemy faction, but I have to wonder if at any point they bothered to look up why those clouds have that name. Also, I haven't seen anybody mention it, but the 1x4x3 "wall of fire" piece used in the new LEGO City fire sets could be very useful for siege warfare scenes where individual flame pieces might not look imposing enough to threaten a larger castle or village. They can also be stacked to create a taller wall of flame. LEGO Classic has a "Creative Transparent Bricks" set coming out with a lot of basic bricks, plates, and slopes in various transparent colors, which could be useful for MOCing stained glass windows in a cathedral or monastery setting. In some of the new Spider-Man sets, Miles Morales and Gwen Stacy feature a new hood piece in Dark Red and White, respectively. It's plain enough that I could see it being useful for historic figs, even if both those minifigures are using it to represent modern hooded sweatshirts. Mysterio also appears in one of these sets with a Transparent Light Blue Opal recolor of his helmet piece, which could be very fitting for use as a magical crystal ball, and also with a Transparent Bright Green/Bright Yellowish Green recolor of the smoke trail piece that was introduced for Nehmaar Reem in the Hidden Side Mystery Castle.

Kind of, although the Zane minifigure from the Epic Battle Set also uses in that same color, and that's supposed to come out a month or two earlier. I sort of understand not giving Nya a headband, since her hair is already tied back into a ponytail. Plus, if she had a headband as well, it might look a bit too similar to Cole's headband+topknot. It would've been neat if they'd recolored her hair tie to Dark Azur to match her mask, though. I definitely share the frustration a lot of folks have about Nya not getting enough vehicles, although I do think that Kai's red and yellow contrast better with the color scheme of the other catamaran in the set better than any of the other ninja color schemes would have. Also, I couldn't help but giggle a bit after considering that having her on the sail portion of Lloyd's bike feels a little like payback for him and Sensei Garmadon driving her car back in the 2014 wave. That rim is a new recolor, but not a new mold — the same rim piece has previously appeared in silver in a few Super Heroes sets. On that note, I can't help but feel that a lot of people's frustrations about Lloyd's bike looking too generic might have been lessened if this first pic showed it in its combined form rather than as two separate vehicles. Something I don't see a lot of people mentioning is that it looks like the ninja this time around (except Zane and possibly Nya :sad:) all have weapons based around a Warm Gold recolor of the machete piece that first showed up in the LEGO City Jungle Explorers sets. Kai uses that piece by itself, Jay uses it on a flail, Lloyd uses it with a tassel piece on the end like the one on his typical sword, and Cole uses it on a glaive/polearm. It's certainly not as varied as the ninja weapons have been in the past, but I feel like this is pretty clever, and suits the wilderness setting quite nicely!

Six studs deep has been a pretty common architectural standard in the City theme for over a decade at this point. Some other examples include the buildings in 7641, 7633, 7848, 8403, 3661, 4644, 60003, 60068, 60203, 60216, and 60245. Several of these (especially the earlier examples) even adhere to a modular standard in which individual 6x8 and 6x16 sections can be rearranged, duplicated, or even swapped between different sets. I think part of the reason LEGO opts for this standard so often is that there's only so much you can do with the floor space closer to the building's open back that won't obstruct kids' ability to see and interact with figures, furniture, or accessories placed closer to the front wall. It's also sort of the same reason that a lot of buildings in themes like LEGO Friends or LEGO Harry Potter where the ground floor interiors are more than six to eight studs deep don't include full ceilings covering those rooms. It makes it a little easier to see and access the interior of those rooms from above, since it would be harder to see or access the full interior from directly behind. There are a few LEGO City Adventures characters in one of the "My City" sets — namely, Madison Yay and Shirley Keeper both appear in 60292 Town Centre. I suspect part of their reason for naming the theme "Turbo Wheels" rather than "Race"/"Racing"/"Racers" is so that it's a little clearer that it also encompasses other sorts of motorsports that are more stunt-oriented and less speed-oriented, like demolition derbies, drift competitions, or freestyle motocross. Plus, at least one of the sets in the Turbo Wheels subtheme (the Octan service centre) isn't overtly racing-related.

I suppose that's fair! Certainly 90-degree curves like the old curved road baseplates are definitely not an especially common sight in real cities, and additionally those have always been one of the more awkward road baseplate shapes to try and build on. That said, I fully expect LEGO to use these for more than just ordinary roads, even within the City theme. One particular use that curves would be well-suited to (and arguably even essential for) is racetracks. It's true that in previous years, motorsports have made up a fairly small part of the City theme, with most race cars, racing bikes, monster trucks, etc. lumped into the "Great Vehicles" subtheme that serves as a catch-all for all the miscellaneous $10 to $30 City vehicle sets that don't belong to other current subthemes. But in 2020, LEGO defied that trend by releasing 60255, 60256, 60257, and 60258 under a new "Turbo Wheels" subtheme. To me, this suggests that LEGO might have bigger plans for the future of these sorts of sets than the more sporadic releases we're used to. In any case, whether or not curves are really as essential as other road shapes, they're definitely going to remain available as an option if LEGO decides to expand further on this system in the future. And based on my experience with other times that LEGO has introduced new systems of parts, I very strongly doubt that the parts (or uses of those parts) we've seen in this road system so far are the limit of what they have planned.

Well, there's no reason to think they wouldn't make a new piece for curved roads. After all, there are three new molds for the roads in just this one wave (the 8x16 road plate, 16x16 road plate, and 8x4 ramp). Presumably, a curved road would only require one additional mold. As for a roundabout, depending on the turning radius you have in mind, it could be possible using the new road plate molds we've already seen — just add some round plates in the center to create the inside curve, some wedge pieces around the sides to create the outside curve, and some new prints for the road markings. I actually sketched up a traffic circle build already on stud.io, but I'm still in the process of fine-tuning it.

It's possible! But then, the same could potentially be true for any number of discontinued themes, including other "big bang" themes and other Castle and Space themes/subthemes that had similarly brief lifespans. My point is that nothing about Nexo Knights' performance seems to have been at all out of the ordinary. Clearly, it didn't perform badly enough to discourage LEGO from investing in other sci-fi/fantasy mashup themes like Hidden Side and Monkie Kid. So why would it discourage them any more from investing in other medieval-inspired themes?

I mean, an official account responding to a direct question with an evasive (but probably still truthful) PR statement is a lot different from a designer telling a baldfaced lie in response to a random tweet that wasn't addressed to the company or anybody working there. Furthermore, the details shared by Tommy Andreasen make it clear that even the cancelled 2018 season of the Nexo Knights TV show was intended to be the theme's conclusion. As such, if the sets did end up getting cut short at all, it would've only been by half a year or so. Same goes for his movie pitch which would've tied in with the final year of Legends of Chima sets. Yes, concept art exists for a multitude of unused Nexo Knights monsters, just like how concept art exists for a multitude of unused Ninjago characters and vehicles or Legends of Chima animal tribes or Space Police 3 aliens. That's how concept art works. Concept artists knowingly come up with far more concepts then they will ever end up using, because the purpose of that part of the design process is to create a broad slate of options which can then be narrowed down to whatever seems to best suit suit to the final story or product line. So the reason we didn't get dragon people or skeleton demons or poison trolls or all that other stuff that showed up in the back of the Nexo Knights character encyclopedia isn't that they were intended for some hypothetical cancelled waves — it's because the designers ended up deciding to use lava monsters, stone monsters, and tech vampires for the theme's three-year arc instead of those other options.

Besides being sort of a "kid-friendly" equivalent of the prohibition laws of the 1940s, the cookie rule also seems to be sort of an inside reference to the ban on sugary snacks or beverages at LEGO headquarters in Billund. And at least when I visited in 2015, that ban had some pretty conspicuous loopholes, most notably allowing cake for celebratory purposes. Because of this, employees at LEGO HQ were apparently known to "celebrate" all sorts of occasions by bringing in cake for all of their co-workers. Given who is in charge of enforcing this law in the Modular Building sets (and the well-trod cliche about police officers which this particular set references), it wouldn't be surprising to learn that this neighborhood has a similar exemption for donuts! And anyway, there's a certain silliness inherent to LEGO which the Modular Buildings have embraced for years now. For instance, all the modular buildings up until a couple years ago had characters with cartoonish smiley faces. The back of the Fire Brigade box shows firefighters responding to the classic "cat stuck in a tree" scenario. The Grand Emporium, of course, included an underwear-clad minifig to put behind the dressing room curtain.The bakery in Assembly Square is deliberately placed right downstairs from a dentist's office, with the back of the box showing the photographer going straight from buying bunches of baked goods in one picture to getting cavities drilled in another. Puns and abound throughout the series, from the movie titles in the Palace Cinema set to the literal "money laundering" in the Brick Bank set. And even if the crimes portrayed in sets like the Police Station or Detective's Office were more realistic ones, the perpetrators would still be committing them right under the noses of the people investigating them! So I don't think this speaks to any lack of "adeptness" at worldbuilding on the part of the designers — just Jamie and his colleagues having a particularly goofy sense of humor which they enjoy working into the Modular Buildings they design.

Thank YOU for satisfying my curiosity! I figured they were probably a thing especially in cities with more pedestrian or bike infrastructure than U.S. cities often do, but I didn't have any real-life experience to compare them against. Your comment definitely helps me understand how well this set complements some of the other contents in the set like the bikes and bike lane. And it certainly stands out as yet another feature we haven't seen in Town or City sets up to this point! That said, I guess your comment also tells me that the design/structure of this sort of fitness equipment varies enough that this structure wasn't instantly recognizable. I probably wouldn't have recognized what it was for myself if it weren't for the back-of-box pics showing a minifigure exercising on it. Of course, I suppose the set description would've also told me that, if I'd had the forethought to read it before commenting.

I suspect that trash/waste pickup might have been intended as another possible "job" for the municipal service worker besides repairing the lights using the bucket truck (same with the banana which shows up abandoned on the bench on the front of the box, but in a trash can in one of the back-of-box pics). It's also possible that it was included as a humorous reference to the cliche of dogs stopping to "relieve themselves" near fire hydrants. That said, I agree that this is a weird set to put that sort of "story starter" in compared to 60291 (which includes both a dog and its owner) or 60292 (which includes a dog, its owner, AND a sanitation worker). In any case, I LOVE the sporting goods store and bakery, since those are both types of businesses we don't tend to see quite as often in LEGO City as pizzerias, burger restaurants, or service stations. The designers also did a lovely job making sure their architecture stood out from each other and from all the other sets in this particular wave. The convertible in this set is also nicely designed in a way that both stands out from and also complements other LEGO City vehicles. It's good to see the glow-in-the-dark streetlights appear in another set besides 60304. Also, after making this post, I realized the out-of-box picture shows a loose 1x2 plate like the ones used as light bulbs on the streetlamps. Perhaps one of the plates included could be a standard white plate to represent a "dead" bulb for the service worker to replace, as opposed to the glow-in-the-dark ones which represent new/working bulbs? Another thing I'm happy to see is a fire hydrant built using the BB-8 head piece from LEGO Star Wars! I was super impressed with the fire hydrant that was built that way in the Sesame Street set from LEGO Ideas, and after I saw that same dome piece recolored in Bright Red as a mushroom cap in some of next year's LEGO Friends sets, I immediately realized how perfect it would be for LEGO City fire hydrants. So it's great to see that the designers were thinking the same thing long before I was! I'm even more pleased to see printed bike lane tiles in this set! That's a possibility I've mentioned with the new road system, and it's good to see LEGO already implementing it. I might have preferred if they were four studs wide instead of two so that vehicles like the trike in this set didn't exceed the lane width, but it's still a reasonable width for the use of for the standard bike or mountain bike in the sporting goods store. I suspect a lot of people will also be excited about this set introducing the standard bike in a new color! Out of curiosity, are outdoor exercise fixtures like the ones on the far left a common feature? I can't say I've ever seen them in any of the (mostly American) cities I've spent a lot of time in. That's fair. I definitely like that this one stands out from the style of the 2014 auto transporter, though. The upper and lower trailer beds on this one look a lot more robust than the thin ones in the earlier set, which is fitting since it's designed to carry larger cars. And I like that when the upper deck is lowered, it lines up neatly with the ramp attached to the lower deck. In any case, it's great that the designer (presumably, Mark Stafford, judging from the stickers) was able to achieve a beefier-looking design like this at the same price point and similar piece count to the 2014 one. Of course, I suppose that was helped by only including one six-wide car for it to carry, instead of two four-wide cars.

Aw, dang, that's stunning! It's definitely a more robust design than previous LEGO Friends helicopters, and I'm intrigued by what appears to be a new 4x4x1 dome piece on each side. It also does some cool stuff with its scenery, like the waves breaking against the island or the gnarled-looking Medium Nougat tree near the jetty. The rescue scenario does seem a little mundane to require a vehicle of this size — perhaps if the background art were a little bit stormier to match the crashing waves, I might feel slightly more convinced about using a helicopter (rather than, say, a rowboat) to rescue a baby bunny trapped out on the lake. Also, some brick-built driftwood probably would have helped to communicatee how a baby bunny could have gotten stranded so far from shore in the first place. But overall, I'm glad to see how well this stands out from previous LEGO Friends sets while still feeling like a natural fit for Heartlake City! EDIT: Also, the same site where some pics of upcoming LEGO City sets were discovered recently also has pics of the LEGO Friends Doggy Day-Care! https://learningexpressgifts.com/products/doggy-day-care-lego-friends-41691 I love the sign and rainbow awning, and it also has another color for the new puppy mold we saw in Olivia's Electric Car!

Yeah, all in all, leg prints being reused doesn't bother me much when there aren't many ways they could have differentiated the leg prints that would have been a major and noticeable improvement to the designs. I mean, what's the most they could've done? Add a few color-coded fasteners to the knees like on the 2013 ninja designs? Have the ninja knot their belts at different points on their waist? I don't feel any of that would make the anniversary figures particularly more impressive than they already are. Particularly since they all wear different headgear and neck accessories, which differentiates them considerably more than we've come to expect with previous ninja variants. Furthermore, if LEGO had chosen to spend part of their budget for the year on five additional leg prints so each anniversary ninja would have a different pattern, that might've taken the place of five OTHER new printed elements LEGO ended up releasing. And that might've meant, say, putting only one new Elemental Master in the Tournament of Elements set instead of three. I know I wouldn't have been happier with that outcome… @Lyichir also makes a good point — if LEGO did have a big enough budget to introduce five additional prints, I'd have rather seen it go towards adding more variety to some of the enemy designs which are currently a little "samey", like the Ghost Warriors or Anacondrai Warriors. The three Legacy ghost warrior minfiigs we've seen all appear to have matching upper body, lower body, and possibly even face prints, whereas all the season four inspired sets we've seen so far all seem to feature the same Anacondrai Warrior (Eyezor). That sort of thing didn't really bother me at all with the Legacy versions of nameless or mass-produced baddies like the Stone Warriors or Nindroids, but for the season four and five villains I can't help feel a little underwhelmed by it.

For curves, both those things probably would depend on the desired radius and angle of the curve (particularly with embedded tracks, since the tighter the radius, the stricter the limits on how trams need to be designed in order to run on them). In any case, I'm reluctant to try coming up with designs for tramways unless I'm also prepared to consider how a system like that would handle inclines. With roads, it's easy enough to just whip up something using hinges, but with tracks you'd probably need to keep things a little smoother than that. Keep in mind that I'm also still sort of a novice at using Part Designer. Even these curves have a few glitches that result in the surface looking slightly uneven in renders, probably because of some components I didn't align correctly or stray vertices I failed to spot until it was too late to fix them.
