  1. I have no problem waiting 4 months or more as long as they show up in PAB eventually, however as long as they are IP marked they most like will not show up there
  2. Unfortunately it seems like the blue-coats take the same route The two blue torsos, guvnor hat and the big flag are as of now IP marked
  3. I like them Could it work to use more 2x2 round bricks at the bottom to give the right tree more height without bending it before the top part?
  4. Forest hideout probably had no stickers because the prints came in the 90 year castle, Blacktron had not a set with usable prints to lean on and the same is probably true for Majisto. The Majisto fig I am not worried about since he is in the castle and have a better version in BAM, but what about the potential dragon knight and shield
  5. I have not updated it in several years actually It did not seem like it was very much interest in it here and it was rather time consuming to do so I stopped doing it. I agree that it would be interesting to see so will see if I get the time eventually, my guess is that the last 3 years would would be very high, maybe at the top of the ranking
  6. "there are 15 spiders to represent issue no. 15 of Amazing Fantasy in which Spider-Man first appeared in August 1962" I still see only 14 so I assume your counting is right
  7. Unless they put a dragon knight (or at least the parts for the helmet) in a set that comes soon, I do not think the GWP have budget for more than a print or two at best. The Castle probably used the its budget for both the shield and torso for the forestmen in the GWP.
  8. How many years did you have to wait for a new LOTR set, 10-12 years
  9. Yes, but that is not a good sale point to me since they are the most common and boring parts to me, however I guess they could be useful for people building big mocs
  10. I believe it was for the blacksmith set, but Ideas have close to zero budget so no surprise there The speculation is probably good advertising for them I do not think it is considered too niche, but for a 10 year period after the goat we did not get almost a single farm animal not even a horse in any set. The last few years we have gotten a lot of animals also farm animals, but I understand why they made those instead of a goat. However with the next set with new farm animals it makes very little sense not to include a goat since we got moulds of the more common ones now. So as long as we get this set out on the marked we are golden, I am sure it will include a goat mould or maybe even two
  11. That is not how it works since you can not control what other people buy and trust me this will sell at least decent, just look at the people on Brickset saying they will buy the set compared to e.g. the Disney castle. As I have said earlier give Lego constructive criticism and if enough people say the same I am sure they will change that with the next set. It looks like a lot of people say this: A very similar updated set of the old set is fine if it is a small GWP like the Forest Hideout set, but not a big one like this A similar set like the old one is fine if it is the B model and not the main one like B-bay Or make something new inspired by the old sets How would Lego know this before they made this set?! They make the B-bay and a lot of people are impressed that you can make the ship as a B-model They make a couple of GWP that are just updated versions of the old set and people like it They make the galaxy explorer that is very similar to the old one just bigger/updated and people love it They make the Castle that are inspired by old sets, but are original and people think it is fantastic They make this set as a updated version of a old classic as the main model and another looking one as the B-model and suddenly a lot of people are negative Follow this logic and you see it was impossible to know this for Lego, if enough people give this as constructive criticism I am sure they will know it and not do the same next time
  12. Yes, I really hope when we see the goat again (in this set hopefully) it has a different color and/or print then the original
  13. A new Spiderman art set have leaked and it has a record braking number of spiders in it, around 15 it looks like
  14. Yes, but now it is all about the right moment with the right set and in the meantime enjoy the hype The CMF sell so many sets so it is worth it and the theme have a very high budget they can use for new moulds (I wonder how much the sales will drop with the new boxes).. If the goat did not exist and the hype and demand for a re-release was not a issue, I think it would have been made for a new farm sub-theme in City or a CMF. We got the farm animals in the following order: Horse Foal Cow Pig Hen Sheep Calf, Piglet, Lamb (sheep wool) The most likely next farm animal? Goat, roaster, chickens, duck, geese, donkey?
  15. The torso could maybe be used for forestmen?
  16. The only set I can think of where the budget (if it is there) for a new mould the goat would be on the number 1 spot is the medieval village set.
  17. I wonder who the designers are, Pierre Normandin seem to be the design lead of the theme, but that do not mean he had "anything" to do with the actual design.. I am sure the set will sell a lot of copies, but those of you that have issues after buying and building the set could give feedback to Lego so the next set do not make the same mistakes https://survey.medallia.com/legoproduct
  18. It was so interesting to listen to the podcast so I recommend that as well. I have started listen to the other episodes this season as well (previous seasons are about Lego games so not so interesting to me).. It it a legit argument why e.g. the Ideas blacksmith set do not have the goat, but not why a City farm set do not. If they want they can make a small goatherder set similar to the seal battle-pack and it would sell like crazy! I agree, all this goat hype is not bad for them and when we get a set with it in there will be a lot of free advertising because of the goat. I do not think they will miss this opportunity by making it in a CMF or small City set, the medieval village set makes most sense now. There is is even a goat prototype in the set, we just need to get the set released and Bob's your uncle With the Pirate set this year and not a single whisper of the set I think our best hope is next year I and a lot of other people I am sure replied that we wanted civilians and animals etc in the 90th year castle set, it was a reason why the first prototype had a complete village in front of the castle. When that was to big I assume (hope) they started developing that as a separate set, if so it could be finished by now..
  19. Hi and welcome I am sure Lego appreciate constructive criticism an listen to it so the next retro set will probably look less like the original set. Have you seen a pic of the medieval marked village we hopefully get one day? One of the buildings there is inspired by the guarded inn set, but the rest of the set is new and the set is made to compliment the old MMV so that look very promising However until we see reviews and/or designer interviews we can not know all the functions and the thought processes that lead to make the set this way Yes and bring back the white falcon knight as well I wonder if Lego included a maybe slightly updated part, but very similar to the old mould in this set and they could only include one what would you choose: Classic chrome gold coins Classic monkey Classic palm tree trunks
  20. Yes, I am sure there is some explanations in the instructions, some people here give Lego designers to little credit, I am sure there is a reason why they included the figs they did just wait and see, reviews should pop up within a few days I like the new print, but it is very similar to the other one and it is clearly the same character so would have preferred they reused it and used the budget for a civilian instead instead (of course that means adding a extra fig) I wonder if a future Saber island GWP will be made to fit this set
  21. Another new koi print:
  22. No need to worry I am pretty sure I saw a green one in the dungeons, they have apparently stopped use them as selling points since it is not mentioned in the text (a future selling point could be this set do NOT have have any frogs)
