    There are a picture of Education sets, one called Arctic animals science kit 45203 with polar bears, walrus and reindeer on the box and one "animals something" science kit 45201 with whales and a penguin on the box. Probably no animals moulds inside I assume, but nice box art at least

    I think we could have gotten some with the retro series as well, but the chances are not less now. We need some good news regarding animals this year I think

    I do not think there is a advantage to have a gap between sets, normally the more successful a set/line is the longer the set stays on shelf’s e.g. the modular line with several sets at all times. It could of course be that MTS was suppose to stay a lot longer on shelf so they did not have time to release the next set before that retired and its in the works now. However it do not bode well for retro sets that everyone has retired before they suppose to except the LKC lately

    Not for me, but hardly a retrofig..I assume the rest will leak soon then NB! another thread I do not get a notice from when there is a new post I see

    I have listed to the 2 first and they are great audio-books I must say The ones with Stephen Fry are nice, but this is the next level and probably cost a lot to make, recommend them to HP fans

    I hope you are right, but so far not a whisper in that regard so have not high hopes for anything (other that the GWP and maybe 1 CMF) That is one of the problems with the BDP sets, the designers have to behave as beggars and take scraps from other normal sets and whatever is on the menu at the time. If there was no vending machine or Creator 3-in-1 castle on shelf's now the minifigs in the coming BDP sets would be a sorry lot

    Sometimes there is a problem, but at least the geodes was just up on PAB a short time before the set retired right? There probably was a bigger issue in the USA, since one of the services was closed a long time and the tax issues on top of that.. As long as the vendor machine do not suddenly retire I do not think there is a problem with them, however it will take some time before all parts are in stock at the same time again probably. If you are not a member I recommend joining the parts channel on Discord, they you can get a notice when parts you are after come back in stock etc

    It is a nice set, but probably a lot voted in hopes they would be print, but as you say small chance of that with the 1 new print that seems to be the GWP limit in general.. Unfortunately no animals in this one, should have included a pigeon or two. A lot of the others had animals, but not anything more exciting than 2 pigeons
  9. Roebuck
    I got 2 extra hares and a small printed bee round 1x1 with my last order. Nice to get, but far from the huge number of extra parts some few lucky ducks get
  10. Roebuck
    I think maybe they are sets/parts coming with books from what I understand, so will probably be expensive to get, however nice to se the pigeon in a small "set" for the first time

    You have 6 months, It would be unheard of that Lego do not get it in stock during that time I think. Even B-bay that was sold out months of the time came back in stock several times, however sold out really fast each time.. Are there not other stores like amazon etc that have it in stock for less than retail or is it a Lego exclusive set? I would wait 5 of the 6 months before I would consider BL if its more expensive there in total..
  12. Roebuck
    Yes then it is something else and no huge part budget required, however we have gotten a few brick built dragons lately so not so interesting to me I must say..
  13. Roebuck
    I was thinking about the black knights Idea GWP ship set, but have not seen that confirmed this year so could be next year also.. I agree the micro scale GWP of the Castle this autumn do nothing for me, it must be minifig scale to be of interest

    The big bulk of animals we have gotten from City that made a few years the best ever probably regarding animals. There has been a leadership shift in City with more focus on vehicles and system, and while the system idea has merritt since we do not get a new police-station every year etc. It seems they will use budget on parts that can be used in several sets and connect the system together, so they prefer to make parts like the dog with the vest etc. Just give it a new print and it can be a police-, fire-, coastguard- etc dog and not a piglet, calf that only can be used in farm sets (of course Castle etc outside City as well). I hope I am wrong, but it seems we get less animals in City every year since the shift. I have some hope the new farm logo mean that we get a wave of farm sets in the near future like construction has got with their logo, if so we are likely to get some animals. However animals in City sets just because they are nice to have there seems more rare now..
  15. Roebuck
    They probably need the budget of a normal wave of sets to pull anything like Smaug of again, even if they just bring back all the parts of the old one it will cost a lot of money.. I also regret not buying that at the time
  16. Roebuck
    Not to be the bearer of bad news, but it could also be that the parts from MTS has not retired from PAB due to a error. MTS was suppose to be on shelf's longer at least 1 more year I think, so maybe the PAB team did not get the memo and the parts are still there because of that Icons 11382 1252 parts Space-themed display model August release Could of course be a modern space shuttle and nothing to do with retro sets We get a Castle GWP and that is it this year and basically nothing in the years to come except Creator 3-in-1 sets and a odd CMF, rather depressing thoughts
  17. Roebuck
    And a decent GWP I could have ordered, but rather wait and get a decent GWP on a big PAB order than order day 1 and get nothing
  18. Roebuck
    Griffin and kraken showing up as we speak on PAB, but maybe not the latter ones legs it seems..
  19. Roebuck
    Its happening!!
  20. Roebuck
    No animals for me it seems
  21. Roebuck
    I agree and a lot of animals
  22. Roebuck
    Ditto! I guess Castle fans must be happy with every bone Lego trow us, but jester is the least useful category of fig to me... Now animals as accessorizes either and only 3 figs so not a very promising wave I hope you are right however I have not heard anything that support that so far If we follow the Castle, Space and Pirates rotation of Icons retro sets it is suppose to be Pirates next. However according to the latest leak there could come a Space set in September (not sure if its a retro set). With the short shelf like the latest retro sets have had I suppose we should be happy if they continue to make them at all

    I think it is more to do with the success of Botanicals, they have started making sets with flowers in several other themes now. I think HP do a much better job at releasing something new every year compared to SW, that get new movies/series all the time (even if most of it is subpar) and still things they have not made after all these years from the original movies No, maybe the Mod is out with the cold or similar, previously it has happened on 1 of January I think
  24. Roebuck
    Definitely hope I guess it depends on the age range of the movie. New movies brought HP back and that is one of Lego most popular themes now I hope for Edoras and some cavalry (knowing Lego it will have 2 horses ) Think they forgot The Hobbits movies like the rest of us
  25. Roebuck
    It was suppose to be Pirates turn for an Icons set this year, but seems Space has cut in line according to the latest rumors. However as things are going I suppose we should be happy if they continue with the Icons retro sets at all
