    There is a wolf den in one of the City arctic sets, I assume this means it comes with at least one wolf , but the info did not specify. Apparently the leaker was more focused the builds rather than minifigs and animals, talk about having the wrong priority

    The next modular will have this flower pot and the new pigeon part, calling it now

    You have a point, but I do not think it ever has happened that anyone has lost their LAN statues because of bad set reviews. On the other hand several of those brats that are not LAN members complain about everything to get clickbait titles and that is a lot more annoying.

    Hopefully both If they are dual moulded the PAB price I fare might be high, just look at the price of the simple hen piece If they come in several smaller sets the BL will soon drop at least, the worst scenario is if it end up like the corncob part. So hyped for pigeon street my new name of my modular set up. I had very little hope for City this year, but even if we do not get any more animals there as long as we get plenty of pigeons I will be happy

    I am sure they will breed and show up in more sets soon, but the PAB price is a potensial problem since I want a lot of these

    It has pigeons so definitely not a disappointment

    There are pigeons in the tower City set 🥳

    I think it is a lot of good points here from the other reply's. Mainly I think Forums are less popular than they used to be and for me personally I have more or less stopped buying HP sets. I still think they are great, they manage to make something new with every edition, but how many Great halls do I need etc? Lego are expensive and I have limited space on shelf's so the last couple of years the sets just stay in the box and take up space. Kids and new afols do not have that problem so they can buy the new great hall as their first one just like a City police station and a SW millennium falcon

    This is not how it works, the fans do not decide which designers make a set. Nor do designers start on Duplo and work there way up to Icons etc. Some designers are hired in the Duplo theme and some in the Icons one. If you are hired in the Icons theme you might start of with a big D2C right of the bat, in City maybe a 10$ car. We AFOLs know a few of the designers that have been in advertising of sets etc, but there are a lot more that prefer a low profile. It is also a theme work so they get help. What they do not control is the budget of the set and that must be one of the harder things being a Lego designer, every part has a price. I am sure a lot of fantastic MOC builders would go mad with the limitations if they where to design a Lego set. The prelim of Medieval Town Square 10332 was a dream set to me, then they cut the budget by a lot and we ended up with a decent set robbed of a lot of the best parts. It could be that it was the parts he could afford with the budget, a better looking tree with other parts may be to expensive to include or he might be forced to remove a minifig or two to change it

    I want that person packing my order next time Maybe the person was feed up with Lego orders and just took a generous handful of every part to be fast, it is not like you are going to complain either
  13. Roebuck
    Better than nothing
  14. Roebuck
    Looks like the white rabbit and more surprising the Cockatoo will show up in BAM
  15. Roebuck
    The new Gandalf head comes in the set so a minifigure of him is included at least.. You can have a look at Duckbricks YouTube video from fan media days to see designers interviews. The first edition had more of the Shire included but was quickly removed.. It seems like they actually used budget on the shirt piece, I was sure that came in another theme

    If they are not licensed I do not see why not I should be the next ideas set so hopefully not long to wait now (PAB on the other hand will take a while). Is there a sphere part in Lego that can fit a hole minifigure, it seems that those used in the set only fit half of one?
  17. Roebuck
    Any other animals like owls in the set?
  18. Roebuck
    Same print/color as we got before?
  19. Roebuck
    On Svalbard not the mainland fortunately
  20. Roebuck
    Not sure if this is mentioned before, but the coming Easter GWP has a white rabbit and brown squirrel, not bad for a GWP even if they are rather common animals in Lego form.

    You must get up earlier in the morning If you are first in the shop the scanning works perfectly, if you live in a area with a lot of competition it is harder. It probably have been harder with the scanning since people without the talent, time and inclination to feel the bags before can very easy scan them now. If more shops do like some stores and only sell one per customer or Lego start selling them identified online it would be better. Some of you probably have collected Panini stickers, you can buy all the random packs you want, but you could also order the ones you are missing from the online shop, so something similar to that would be best. Probably not and I am sure Lego have tested them..

    Lego must have made an error and put an extra 0 at the end of how many of series 5 they should produce, the marked was drowned in them for a long. I am glad I mostly bought dwarfs from the huge pallet of them the local store had I think the problem was that the earlier series had lower budget than the newer ones (if they had fewer new moulds?) or maybe they needed to start one place and make moulds that later series also could use (a lot of moulds are used in more than one series so the other times they do not need to use any budget on them)?
  23. Roebuck
    Yes that was definitely the most boring fig in that series so no wonder they had little interest in it I bought 500+ on sale from that series and just finished selling them 1-2 weeks (so took 6-7 years) ago and the last buyer asked men why I was selling them so cheap With the exception of maybe 1-2 popular figs from each series CMF are hard to sell is my impression. Scanning will save me a lot of money, time and effort selling the figs I do not want from boxes As i said earlier all Lego stores should do that
  24. Roebuck
    I do not think Lego care much about comments online for that. However you have a point with what actually people do, if a lot of people go out and buy the set at full retail price that might affect things. At least it seems like some sets that have not been so popular are on sale on Lego a short time after its release and that is not normal. Not impossible that it goes the other way as well however some sets may be bestsellers because they are reasonably priced compared to others so a price increase might backfire
  25. Roebuck
    And Canada. Most other places we only have Standard now (previously Bestseller) after the original Standard moved to Bestseller However still missing some parts like juvenile gorilla that have not made the move yet.. https://www.newelementary.com/2025/03/pick-brick-usa-canada-standard-elements.html
