  1. I agree, I think the HP films are good and tell their story in a satisfying way. However something different like FB could be interesting to see since it is a very fascinating wizarding world
  2. I really like Andres humour and energy Most of the humour on this was lost in translation however I do not have any bad feelings to the cite for that reason FB is wrapping up the 3rd film next week , looking forward to seeing it 2022
  3. "Then on February 3rd 2021, we will launch a second fan vote, which will run until February 10th 2021. One of those themes will be what the 90th Anniversary Set will be based on! We just need a little time to verify all the votes and make sure everything is 100% accurate before we share the results with you, as the second fan vote goes live." Now they are not saying anything about that it is 3 choices in the finale vote Are verifying all the votes, so votes can be deleted if it is foul play One of the themes (3 or more?) in the last vote will get the sett
  4. He do not earn any money on that, so if he has any info he will probably wait until he can make a video. If you make money of Lego news, why give them away for free Did we not get HP info last year from the German toy-fair from a random participant (or was that the year before?), so I hope we get some set names at least
  5. "What if there was only “Castle”? Now let’s take a look at what would have happened if LEGO had not fragmented the survey so much and instead of the seven different Castle sub-themes, there had only been the “Castle” theme as one big overall theme. Of course, we can’t simply add up the percentages of the individual votes, because then, for example, the users who voted for three different Castle sub-themes would be counted three times, which would extremely distort the result. So the relevant question is: How many users have voted for at least one Castle subtheme? 23.738 users have voted for at least one Castle subtheme 6.370 users have voted for Classic Castle, but no other castle theme 2.557 users have voted for castle themes only So out of the 23,738 Castle fans, 10.7% want nothing but any Castle set for the anniversary" https://www.stonewars.net/lego-news/interim-results-of-the-lego-ideas-90th-anniversary-survey/
  6. Me to, and unlike classic space a lot of the people that voted for it probably thought it was just a grouping of older castle themes not only the oldest stuff with brick-built horses Like this : That will never happen! Maybe Bionicle will get a successful relaunch in the future if it have enough fans, just look at HP how successful that is now with a huge and ever growing fanbase
  7. I do not think the picture matter much in regards to what we are getting, just a well known set from the different themes
  8. Yes, Bionicle was not the only theme that was not split up and I agree it got the short end of the stick with the picture. However I want this to be fair and it is not I find it strange that Lego included Bionicle in the first place, is it the only theme after 2000? As you say the parts are long retired so if it wins the fans won't get what they want any way
  9. Hard to guess, since Gringotts was not even considered for the DA D2C from the start it only makes sense if it comes in a separate set that is in scale with it. So then it depends on the price if it is the 130$ set it probably is just the bank, however if it is the 250$ one then I think both the dragon and a second building is included. Say it is the 130$, we might get a second set with the dragon maybe with some part of the bank that might or might not be in scale with the main building.. We probably will know a lot more when we get the set names later Regarding other sets from DA in the future, I think it makes most sense to give us one building per set around 100$ to keep the cost down so more people can keep up, make it a yearly expansion like Hogwarts so both HP and more casual modular fans can expand the street in the future
  10. Unfortunately unless they reconsider I do not think they will sum them up. Most people that voted for castle probably want a big castle set, a lot of the fractions was in the same sets, so it should have been no problem to include minifigs from several fractions in one set to make most fans happy
  11. https://www.stonewars.de/news/lego-ideas-umfrage-zwischenstand/ https://www.stonewars.net/lego-news/interim-results-of-the-lego-ideas-90th-anniversary-survey/ "So the relevant question is: How many users have voted for at least one Castle subtheme? 23.738 users have voted for at least one Castle subtheme How many users voted for at least one Space theme? 23.396 users voted for at least one Space subtheme" So castle would have been in first place, space on a second if they only had one main category to vote for. Then a second vote for the most popular subtheme could have given us that
  12. Since they ended up including more obscure shops in DA, why would they not make future sets of more famous ones? Maybe I am just hopeful, but I think they will make future DA expansion since a lot is missing and they need more HP sets to make
  13. To me it is not which theme that deserves it the most, but what I want personally and find useful. I find Divers very useful because the sets where packed with animal moulds, however as you mention something similar was in City last year so it is not so high on my list. Bionicle would not give me anything I could use and every theme has helped shaping the company into what it is to day in my opinion. I know that Bionicle helped TLG get back on its feet, but if they have kept making pirates, castle, town etc from the late -80 and early -90 in the same spirit, Lego would probably never ended up in trouble in the first place I am almost sure because of the hopeless voting system that Bionicle will end up among the 3 last ones, I just hope that one of pirates or castle (not classic) subthemes is among the 3 also so fans of those can join forces then
  14. I think everyone should read this: https://www.stonewars.de/kommentare/lego-ideas-umfrage-zu-classic-set-problematisch/ How many voting for classic castle wants a yellow castle with brickbuilt horses? Not many is my guess, they just want a castle set from the late -80 early -90. The way Lego should have done it was let us vote for e.g castle then let us vote for our favourite subtheme directly or in the next round, the same with other themes. The way it is now themes like Bionicle will have a huge advantage. We will see what the 3 final themes are, but I will vote for anything other than Bionicle there. If one of the first 10 are winning I will be happy, after that I will get more unhappy the farther we go down the list Imperials Forestmen Paradisa (if it mens we get a stable with a lot of horses) Pirates Black Knights Lion Knights Dragon Knights Wolfpack Black Falcons Divers Adventurers Trains Town Arctic Time Cruisers Classic Castle Aquazone Studios Xtreme Team Rock Raiders Ice Planet M-Tron Blacktron Space Police Spyrius Exploriens Classic Space Alpha Team Model Team Bionicle
  15. If they do like friends and go all over the world I think a panda is likely, if not not now then definitely soon in a set, maybe a Chinese set in the future Goat news: https://www.brickfanatics.com/the-lego-group-tried-to-resurrect-the-goat-for-21315-pop-up-book/ Sooner or later they must succeed, how hard can it be
  16. Yes I agree To narrow it down I think all sets are set in Africa. Male lion, it only needs a new head and kids will love it. Elephant, was in friends last year, have not got a updated mould of it yet so it makes sense Hope there is room for a third one, maybe something smaller, but not sure what, a zebra is a option if they can pull that of with the horse mould Then they can reuse some big ones like the crocodile, jaguar as a leopard and lioness and smaller ones like parrots, snakes, spider etc LEGO City 60300 Wildlife Rescue ATV-10$-74 parts -most likely 1-2-3 small animals LEGO City 60301 Wildlife Rescue Off-Roader-50$-157 parts something big probably the elephant (1-2 small) LEGO City 60302 Wildlife Rescue Operation-90$-525 parts 2-3 medium plus some small ones or something big LEGO City 60307 Wildlife Camp-100$- ? parts 2-3 medium plus some small ones or something big 60267: Safari Off-Roader fits right in with 20$-168 parts, one medium (lioness) and one small (parrot)
  17. It would definitely be a good sales-point and a fan service, hopefully next time Strange indeed It is stupid that it is called elkhound in English since we do not have elk in Norway, however we have moose than in Norwegian is called "elg", so this always confuse people that translate and do not know a lot about animals and we get this silly mistakes. Basically it is a moosehound and it is rather similar to a husky, so I do not mind that it is included in the set. However we should have gotten it in addition to the other more interesting animals not a substitute for them. The horse is great, but when the description brags about animals included and the second is the rather common husky and the third is a frog I would say that is pushing it a lot I like the look of the set and the minifigs especially the female ones so I will buy it eventually even it it is rather disappoint in the animal department
  18. Regarding animals from City, this is probably the best we could hoped for (together with farm and zoo) I think a male lion is very likely
  19. Probably that since islanders is not an option either, however the native American sets did not have any cowboys or soldiers in them
  20. HP used the budget for the pig, Barracuda Bay "stole" it as they did with all the new parts coming in other sets sice they did not have the budget fond themself.
  21. I think you are right about that and it is the bank, another shop and a mostly brickbuilt dragon, however I mentioned it as a possibility since a big moulded dragon would fit in with the high price of the parts
  22. Most likely unfortunately, I really like the old elephant, but I guess it cost a lot more to make all those smaller moulds than 1-2 big ones
  23. Sounds more likely than a lot of figs to me. I think the ship, Gringotts with the dragon or chamber of secrets with the basilisk if they give the creatures the Smaug treatment is possible
