    That is a good point, personally I hope they will win the vote, regardless Lego are definitely aware of their popularity so we will see. A future set with a Raven knight with a horse that has the bearding would be fantastic I think he meant the Raven knight and not the raven mould, but the point is still somewhat valid. However if they reuse a CMF fig they usually release only parts of it in sets so some parts of it is still stay exclusive I agree, that's why I said "the new raven mould" not "a new raven mould". Not a native English speaker so might have grammar wrong Anyway I meant a recolor of the Dreamzzz one Yes that fraction must really have hit some hard times, I assume they have eaten or sold of the pride of the land so they must relay on bricks instead, maybe the set comes with coconuts

    I assume the budget is higher for figs in the Ideas set since the figs are the main focus in the set, Creator always have a low budget so a new knight there might have a new torso and noting else. Hopefully the runner up feature in a new CMF, a Raven knight with the new raven mould would be perfect. Me too It is just a guess since the sales numbers are never official, however it did loose 2 years of it's planed shelf life so most like it sold below expectations. Hopefully Lego understand that this is due to the lack of animals, few minifigs and printed parts and not a lack of interest in Castle and especially civilian sets Me too, but it will retire this year so do not wait to long

    They are not in short supply on PAB, but I would argue they are in short supply in Castle and other sets, but: Same here. Probably the most likely, but we will see. When do we expect the Ideas set, should be before August then 🤔 A new Disney Castle leaked, not sure if that has anything useful 🙈

    It seems that the next Lego house set is Fabuland themed I wonder how it would look, even if there is still a lot of Fabuland parts around, none of the figs are Is it possible to reprint some of the Animal Crossing ones? https://jaysbrickblog.com/news/next-lego-house-exclusive-set-teases-a-fabuland-connection/ https://www.newelementary.com/2025/02/lego-house-new-for-2025-lego-fabuland.html

    Why do you keep using Paypal if you know it most likely is going to be a problem?

    I was talking about Lego selling known individual figures online, anyone else including Lego stores could just sell as normal. A lot of people would just buy the figs they want online instead of hunting them in shops and it would not be much point for scalpers clearing out stock since most of their potential customer would just buy them for retail price.
  8. Roebuck
    For those prices Lego demand I an not willing to blind buy so then I would stop, buy a box or buy them from resellers There could be a limit of say 10 of each fig per order online, Lego manage to mostly meat demand for sets (there have been issues in the past like in the pandemic) so they could just make more figs if they wanted. Yes resellers would still buy them, but scalpers probably would not (if I have understood the difference right).
  9. Roebuck
    Did you ask if they had a unopened box in stock, maybe they could have found 1 for you there I wonder how many wolf-pack figs they could have sold if they let people buy the ones they wanted online. People that want a army of them are most likely not buying random figs in shops anyway so the overall sale there would not be much affected, maybe even scalpers would stop buying them in shops so kids could get them (if they wanted them).
  10. Roebuck
    I do not think so, probably just a speculation. My guess based on comments, popularity etc: Raven or Kraken Raven or Kraken Griffin Bull Kraken probably have the most loud supporters, however Raven are one of the more popular and expensive fractions so hopefully a lot of not so vocal people have voted for that
  11. Roebuck
    Yes I think a female is most likely, however the classic fraction is called forestmen so just wrote that The raven would be great to get That is possible, but we have gotten several dragons and CMF Basil lately. So would be better with the return of the black knights for me, however not sure what animal that fit them beside a dragon as well..
  12. Roebuck
    There is a pattern here, with the 3 last normal series have a Castle fig with a new animal and with the popularity these figs have it is almost guaranteed we will get one next time as well. The beast-master is probably the best army-builder since he has the shield missing from MTS and a flock animal. The goat herder is a civilian, so do not need that many identical civilians even if the goat is a flock animal people often want to army-build. The falconer have the specialized arm and hair and not a flock animal, but the rest of the fig is very army-build material. Hopefully they will start the same trend with pirates figs as well I wonder what we will get next time, my guess/hope is a forestmen with a roedeer (even if a fox is more likely and would be nice as well). What do you think?
  13. Roebuck
    That's why most people won't do it and more people get the figs they want from the Lego store
  14. Roebuck
    Is it not possible to buy them at a Lego shop? They should restock all the time? Lego stores should probably only sell 1 wolfpack to every customer.. My wolf hunting went really well, but I also bought a complete box to be safe before they came in stock. That is probably the way to do it if there is hard to find them in your area, however takes time to sell the figures you do not want..
  15. Roebuck
    Definitely, however even if we did not have that leak 8 minifigures, basically 1 animal and 1 new shield is not much for a set with 3304 parts when we compare it to 10193 Medieval Market Village and 7189 Mill Village Raid. 7189 Mill Village Raid had 6 minifigures, 7 animals (most of them new or unique), 2 shields and 663 parts 10193 Medieval Market Village had 8 minifigures, 3 animals, 0 shield and 1601 parts I agree, but as I have said it would probably be better if the set cost more and included more stuff the fans want from a set like that e.g. 50$ more would have been fine
  16. Roebuck
    We do not know, I might sell decent however if it was a bestseller it most likely would would not retire 2(?) years before it was suppose to originally Maybe if it's a Lego exclusive sett like LKC Not that I think LKC had a low budget with a new part, lots of prints and lots of retired parts brought back. An ideal Castle set have lots of new printed parts (like minifigs, shields, barding etc), generous amounts of minifigs and animals (recolours) and new parts like animals, weapon’s etc, which is hard to make on a low budget
  17. Roebuck
    I do not think the designers is much to blame, if we have gotten something close to the leaked picture most fans would probably be very happy, but the set was butchered budget-wise and we ended up with MTS in its current form. I finally bought the minifigs on PAB today and will probably buy the set in P-shop later this year, if it was better I would probably have bought a copy or two already. What TLG should learn from this is that since we only get a Castle set every 3rd year, we want a premium product like the LKC not a low budget one..
  18. Roebuck
    Some parts are getting a limit of 10 parts now, about time they if you as me
  19. Roebuck
    It would be about time LOTR sets started including horses, after all LOTR was the theme that made the updated horse mould 12 years ago. So hope you are right, maybe Gandalf with horse and cart in the set and a Black Rider in the GWP (another one in the set would probably be asking to much from Lego)..
  20. Roebuck
    There is a new tropical rainforest diorama GWP coming soon. It looks nice, but why could not Lego include a more interesting animal or two 🙄 It only has a butterfly and frog that I can see 🤔
  21. Roebuck
    That would be great and not impossible, but I do not have high hopes for a new animal there after the lacklustre winter-wave
  22. Roebuck
    Favorites: Dachshund, It is very hard to make a list of favorites, but since I have dachshunds I will put it first to avoid trouble Foal, I really like the juvenile animals they have started making, but especially the updated foal mould Tiger, not sure what to put here, but it was one of the last animals I bought and the first tiger was excellent, but this new one is even better and the big cat mould is very posable Wanted: Roedeer, have been on top of the list for many years, just look at my name Pigeon, another favorite of mine would be very useful and are very common Crow same as the pigeon, we got a raven now so we are getting close
  23. Roebuck
    I do not think that would happen, it basically means that you need to buy 2x500$ sets to get one set, then they would just make a 1000$ one instead. However as I have said before it is possible to split the city down on the middle, if you like you could buy a second copy and mirror build it to get the hole city. Tough I think the most likely is that they make the "hole" city as a mix of minifig and mictoscale to pull it of like Barad Dur

    Pink feathers for the second time ever
