    Since 2007 we have had an annual set in the extremely popular modular buildings series, since 2009 an annual winter village set and last year we probably saw the start of an annual fair set! Is it not about time that we saw the start of an annual zoo set aimed at older kids and adults I think a series like that would have a huge potential. Each set could contain one or two animal enclosures with a landscape similar to where the animals live in the wild, in addition to visitors, pathways and related stuff outside the enclosures. Sure Lego would have to make one or two new animal moulds for each set, but most of them they will probably be able to use in other themes sooner or later Just to be clear about one thing, Duplo-, friends- or brick built animals is not part of this dream theme Do you think it is a good idea and would you buy it if Lego released it?

    Well Valentines day its not exactly a holiday either So it is possible we get a set before Halloween, I certainly hope so since they look great I guess the Easter set will have a photo of the next in line...

    I agree and you are right, but if LEGO would give us a real treat, they could have included moulded reindeer in the sets! They live in the Arctic :) I am a hopeless painter so I will just wait and hope LEGO make a system penguin

    Frustrating that the shark has this stupid robot head and gold teeth, the colours on the body seems good.. Should think a giant shark was cool enough for the kids without turning it into a robot That is the second set this year with a robot shark, hopefully not a new trend

    From what I can see on the pictures behind the sets, it looks like one of the sets has at least 5 animals witch is great!! Just like good old "divers" in that respect Sharkorama :shark: :shark:

    Looks like the big shark has gold teeth's and a red eye?! Hopefully it will turn out normal, I have no use for a robotic shark etc.

    Could potentially be good news, if they are true :) If so, hopefully it will be more like Medieval Market Village and less skeletons!

    I wont get many of this series unless there are some good surprises in the missing ones! I will get the witch because of her new black cat which is great And the tiger woman looks good! Even though this is not one of my favourite series, I understand that they like to experiment with the theme and the kids will love it! Hopefully they will make one series with only animals one day

    Thank you for a nice review, especially the croc/gator part :) I like the new mould, but I like the old one as well.. A new animal mould is great, but I would much rather kept the old crocodile/alligator and gotten a brand new animal mould instead ;) I wonder if they just made a decision to upgrade the old animal moulds or if the old ones are worn out?! So they had to make new ones anyway, and decided to upgrade them instead of making a identical mould!
  10. Roebuck
    Hopefully some new moulded sea animals
  11. Roebuck
    It looks good! Apparently a very "masculine" part of the modular street I was hoping they would include a gull or two But a new cat is better than nothing! I assume the back alley are rat infested as well?!

    The new Indian cobra (Naja naja) mould looks excellent

    First of all I am really happy we get a return of pirates, one of mine childhood favourites The blue coats are a welcome return, I have plenty of red ones from 2009! It looks like they have taken the 2009 series and put it in a blender and this is the smoothie that came out. Overall the smoothie was sweeter in 2009, but 2015 is not to bad either 2009 also got more sets, but if this series sells well so will this one.. Shipwreck Defence: This set is in my opinion better looking than 6239: Cannon Battle, but have more parts and will probably cost more=not so good for army building Soldier's Outpost: The raft in 6240: Kraken Attackin is better looking, but there are only pirates in that set= really bad army builder. Here we get 2 soldiers and a cannon, but for twice the pieces and price?! Treasure Island: Like this set better than 6241: Loot Island (with one big island piece). Hopefully the colour of the boat will change= pirates brown boats, soldiers another colour than brown Soldier's Fort: Not as good as 6242: Soldiers' Fort! Have over 100 pieces less, 1 soldier less, no monkey, no crocodile Hopefully the frogs are stand ins for a new animal mould! On the positive side it has a stud shooter in addition to the cannon and can connect to soldier's outpost?! "Pirats Ship" To early to say which is the best ship, this or 6243: Brickbeard's Bounty. They seem quite similar! 2015 has over 100 more pieces, if that is correct (?!) that is good news, but were they are hidden I am not sure 3 soldiers that is positive, no monkey, parrot or mermaid are negative.. Hopefully we will get the big shark like last time No army building impulse sets or a "limited" set like 6253: Shipwreck Hideout this time around?! Still we can hope for a d2c fort or fort/village and at least a great advent calendar like last time

    A fishmonger would be great!! Then they can give us a seagull (or more) they "owe us" after removing it from PR
  15. Roebuck
    Hopefully no brick-built monsters!! Probably the usual "pirate animal" moulds, but if we are really lucky a new animal mould
  16. Roebuck
    If the picture in the "name the pirate ship" contest is anything to go by, it will have at least two firing cannons...
  17. Roebuck
    I would say the biggest problem with Friends is that the animal moulds are not usable in a minifig setting! Hopefully next years city line will include a new animal/colour mould like this years husky and polar bear
  18. Roebuck
    I hope the swamp police line will have a new animal mould, like the forest police line had the bear, but most likely it will include crocodiles/alligators if anything To bad it is no return of the farm line in the horizon
  19. Roebuck
    Sounds great, looking forward to see the pictures Do you think that we will get red coats again or return of the blue coats this time? Hopefully the line will be followed by a D2C set and/or a second line with more civilian based sets like the excellent 7189 Mill Village Raid
  20. Roebuck
    Looks like a good series! I will get more than 50% of the minifigures in the line.. The wizard seems to be taken straight out Terry Pratchett's discworld
  21. Roebuck
    I was referring to the "minifig" foal in 6404 and 6418, not one of the useless animals from the friends line. Some people call it a pony for some reason, but it is obviously a foal! It is rather frustrating that the equivalent of today's friends series; "the paradisa" back in the days produced useful animal moulds like the foal. When the friends series of today produce many more animal moulds but no one is any good in a minifig set-up TLG pay close attention to what the fan community are up to, and I believe they released the goat to surprise and please the fans A sheep would have been the obvious choice, but before the goat was made I remember several people made very good "castle" moc's including goats in them, and I think they noticed the demand .. Maybe Lego determines to make new moulds like Faefrost and you say, but I still think there is hope for a reindeer mould. No doubt they have noticed the massive criticism against not making a mould of the reindeer's in this set... But since they did not take the opportunity in this set, I think it will be several years before we can enjoy it Ha en fin 17 mai L@go

    I am sorry, but that is wrong! First of all Lego produce x-mas sets every year, so they could use a reindeer mould in them.. Second, Lego has in the past released several animal moulds they up to now only have used in 1 or 2 sets, e.g.: -foal, 2 sets -elephant, 2 sets (3 unique moulds I believe) -goat, 1 set -ostrich, 1 set -camel, 2 sets -big shark, 2 sets -seagull, 1 set -Chihuahua, 1 set etc.

    A huge disappointment with the brick-built reindeer's!!! I have been waiting now for several years that Lego should make a set just like this with Santa's sledge and moulded reindeer's.. And when they finally make it, they brick build the reindeer's This would have been an great set with 5 reindeer's made of a new mould for the body and one for the antlers... OK they are cute, but they look fake next to moulded animals! Sometimes I do not understand TLG logic Take Medieval Market Village 10193 e.g., they included a all new cow mould and several other moulded animals, but also 3 brick built birds! What is the point?! Luckily they have made a hen mould later, hopefully they will come to their senses about the reindeer as well
  24. Roebuck
    I like that Lego include bicycles in more sets nowadays
  25. Roebuck
    I see that it have a new species of bird on the roof, but since it is in the creator line I guess the chances for a new mould or colour print is slim. Most likely brick built
