    Thanks for explaining My bad I look for leaks everyday, but if Lego manage to contain all leaks for a set then good for them I will gladly wait until the official press release to see it in all its glory

    Are you trying to be funny?!

    Nexoknights gave me one fig I could use, so I expect anything pirates other than classic is in the same category
  4. Roebuck
    Good for fans that want to collect the figs, but for me I almost hope it is a bad seller so we do not see anything similar for a while That is the problem with licensed series they usually divide the AFOLs into fans that love it and the rest do not care or hate it. I love the HP/FB series and have at least one of each, but do not have a single fig from Simpsons, Disney, Batman, "sports" etc.. I am happy when those series on a rare occasion give me a new animal like the lobster, but just see how many animals I got with the last normal series in comparison The normal series has always something for everyone so too bad it is not 2 normal and one licensed a year, but at least I save money

    "Year of the Pirate" is not that only Legoland Florida? If so I do not think that matter much, anyway the Legoland parks live a life on there own, more or less separated from Lego.. "Leaf" most likely has to many sets to be a classic pirates wave so that is probably something different, "zebra" and the other do not fit either, so a pirate wave is probably not popped up on the radar yet..

    Not even a photo on instagrarm 2-3(?) hours before the leak That is impressive if that is the case

    That is something different, advent calendars loose most of its value in December I am sure the HP sold extremely well as usual, but shops tend to order more calendars then they can sell.. Wait and see next year, if we get a new one then you know for sure it was a bestseller

    What are talking about Are there not star wars figs like that released all the time? I would definitely not be happy with some huge construction fig pirate and I do not think most other pirates fans would be either I actually would say that I rather have no pirates sets at all if they come as construction figs, because of the disappointment when i realize they are completely useless to me

    Clockwork Aquarium! will soon make it to 10000 and save the day for Lego It is small, original and just the ideas set Lego likes to see so it will most likely be approved.. A couple of years ago it wound probably be the only one to make it, but since 3 big sets made it last round we may get more than next round also

    Finally some animals
  11. Roebuck
    More civilians with animals please I like the blue/redcoats better than the armada figs so I am happy if it is just a new wave like in 2009/15, but hopefully the biggest sets are soldier based (the pirates gets the big pirates bay anyway).. Anything else than classic pirates I will have to wait and see if there is any useful parts/sets for me there.. Thank you While nothing is confirmed there is coming more smoke here now than in years Time will tell how big the fire turns out to be, but even if it end up with nothing we still have the pirate bay so it is going to be the best year for pirates in a long time anyway
  12. Roebuck
    I think it will have 2 buildings like the pet shop A bookstore sounds nice Hopefully some animals in the set

    Lego managed to put in a fish surprise so it turns out there is one piece I want from this series. On the other hand that is the 4th time they put a uniquely coloured fish in the CMF so it makes it impossible to collect a big shoal of them with out spending a fortune
  14. Roebuck
    I have done that, but not for use with Lego Strange that Playmobil can have that many sets based on animals, but Lego can not. At least Lego give us more and more different animals, but they have a way to go before they have the same abundance as Playmobil Talking about new animals, did not think that it was any animals in the DC cmf, but there apparently is a fish in a new colour (lime green?!) there
  15. Roebuck
    Please no

    From the BL thread: Any further comment @Itaria No Shintaku
  17. Roebuck
    I invite you all to discuss goats, dachshund (Norwegian name, I am also a proud owner) and other animals in the thread in my signature No I do not think Lego needs BL to find out that we want more animals in general, but they may use it to find out how bad we want the different ones etc.. I just used goats since it was a obvious example, when Lego owns BL they have access to every order ever made, every search we have done etc. With ideas they get some information since a set needs 10000 votes, but the 10000 that voted do not necessarily end up buying the set if it is made. Now Lego will know exactly how much and how many are willing to pay for every part ever made and how it varies over time. Do not tell my that is not worth more that the 3% (?) they get of every sale!

    I agree and my plan is to buy the wings of B&P and the horses on BL when I find a good deal there.. I find it a little frustrating that the horse which is the first Lego animal mould made back in the day is so expensive and rare now a days since there is several years between every set that has one Do not this page update, since the mention parts are not in there? https://nostalgic-wilson-b2026b.netlify.com/index.html

    I was surprised like everyone else of this sale. I see a lot of people are worried, maybe rightly so, time will tell. On the other hand if Lego make a lot of changes that the users do not like, they will move somewhere else so it is not in their interest.. Lego has a lot of money now they need to invest, they recently bought Legoland in Billund and now BL. Of course the owner of BL earn some money, but I think it is peanuts compared to what Lego are making on other parts of their business. So I think they will use it to mine user-information, that is where the real money can be made (just look at Facebook).. A very basic example: Lego sees that a single goat cost 30 euro on BL. So they make a set and include a couple of goats in it, since that is a part that has very high value a lot of AFOLs want it. The set will sell more copies that if it had not goats included and Lego makes a lot of money.. So in the best case scenario they leave BL alone and we get more sets and parts we want

    I do not think that mean much, they can make a police station without a car or if it is with a car it can always have another one to go with it.. I was hoping one of the farm delivery trucks would make it to the vote since i always look for opportunities to get more animals
  21. Roebuck
    I hope it is right, we need more soldiers too give the pirate bay a fight On the other hand store employees usually do not have much info in coming sets so I am enjoining the salt so far
  22. Roebuck
    A really nice lot @Clahador with a lot of animals Interestingly enough I asked Lego about the price for the Pegasus parts from HP earlier, but got the reply that they were licensed and not for sale. Since you have bought the wings I checked again and now is every part for sale even the horse (,but it is expensive)

    A new book with Hermione minifig! HP do not get any polybags it seems, but it sure gets it fair share of books
  24. Roebuck
    Thanks for the pictures I like the English bulldog with the doghouse that is a nice detail. Other than that I do not have much interest in vehicles so nothing here for me. I will buy the safari set in addition to a lot of extra animals so a very useful city winter wave I would say
