You may be right or it was in BAM maybe, definitely seen some pirate parts there? If it is so close in time that they can easy just bring up the print on the pc they may use it and probably give it a new part number

They are out of production so Lego will make new ones, they may end up close to the ones from 2015, but will not be the same. When they finally brought back the horse mould they made it slightly different in the printing even if it was no reason to do it. Had there been any bluecoats in production they would probably just used the same for at least some of the figs to same on the budget I think they will include some females and hopefully not only female soldiers. Camilla would be a very nice fig to include so would not surprise me There is one in orange(?) in the flower set as well

Forgot about that one One more for Castle so it increases the chance of the D2C coming sooner rather than later since it seems Lego have the most faith in Castle out of the 3 themes I do not agree since Creator 3-in-1 is just basic bricks with a few minifigs that already exist they will most likely give none or maybe a single useful parts to the theme Then you can say this count as well: They are more in line with other themes that sometimes gives us a useful part like: -
No, they could make it anytime they like they just like all the PR and hype it creates. When they finally make it, fans will co crazy and the set it comes in will be sold out after 5 mins almost no matter how it looks. Mark Stafford designer of Jurassic Park: T. rex Rampage 75936 wanted to include it and probably had the budget to do it. Found out the mould was broken and did not have the time to wait for them to make a new one. OK at least we learned that the mould was broken.. Wes Talbott and Samuel Johnson wanted to include one in 21325: Medieval Blacksmith, even tried to convince a person high up to let them do it. OK Ideas budget are extremely low so they normally can not include new moulds even if that seem to be no problem with some of the licensed ones.. 10305: Lion Knights' Castle was a very good moment to do it and they had the budget for it. However Mike Psiaki do not seem to be very interested in animal moulds in my mind, even if Milan Madge was the main designer maybe they decided to use the budget on the other part instead of the goat. OK number of animals is one of the few cons with the set so a goat was probably not the first priority. 60346: Barn & Farm Animals had several new animal moulds one of them could easily be replaced with a goat. OK it was better with the ones we got since there is already adult animals so they only needed to make the juveniles and the sheep skin ads a fun play-feature. OK lets say we "buy" all the excuses I have made for not including the goat in those sets and I could probably made up some more for other sets. Still Lego could just have made a CMF with a goat if they just wanted to give us one, no problem with plenty of budget for new moulds Conclusion they are enjoining the hype and waiting for the perfect moment to do so my guess is the Medieval marked village that leaked from the survey Sorry for OT post

A strict re-release of modulars still have a few issues: They have been detailed from the beginning on the exterior, but not on the interior so that is a big difference compared to a modern one Lego only has production capacity for a given number of products every year, if they must choose between a new modular and say CC the new one will always sell a lot more since there is a lot of us collecting that already have CC. Parts in the old sets may not be in production any more. That is not a big deal just bring it back you say? Well just look at the goat The same issue it can be with colours not in use any more, but I do not know it that is the case.. There is a lot more useful parts now than 15 years ago, so if they made them today they would have a lot of more modern bricks so the original may look a little old fashion because of that Personally I do not think they will re-release the old modulars and regarding Castle and Pirates (Space) sets I think they have found a winning recipe with a modern take on classic sets.

Regarding when we can get it, we have gotten the following retro sets the last years: 2020 Pirates D2C (Pirates of Barracuda Bay) 2021 Castle D2C (Medieval Blacksmith) 2022 Space D2C (Galaxy Explorer) 2022 Castle D2C (Lion Knights' Castle) 2022 Castle GWP (Forest Hideout) (2022 Pirates GWP (Ray the Castaway)) Work as a pirate set, but it is not one I would say so do not count 2023 Space GWP (Blacktron Cruiser) 2023 Rumored Pirates D2C (Eldorado fortress) So if we assume we get 1-2 D2C and 1-2 GWP every year between the themes evenly distributed, we should get: A Pirate GWP this year. A Space D2C this year or in 2024 A Castle D2C in 2024 or 2025 so you might be right @Khargeust on the other hand we got a Castle D2C in both 2021 and 2022 so we can get one every year from now on -
Lego probably believed that at the time, after all they stopped making HP sets because the movies ended even if the franchise was still extremely popular. They also made advent calenders, chess sets etc in addition to the D2C sets to tie in with the normal wave of sets. Things are different now and Lego knows Pirates, Castle and Space D2C sets will sell on their own without the backing of a normal wave of sets. A wave of sets aimed more at kids must sell a lot more than a single D2C to defend their spot on shelf's and maybe kids today prefer things like Ninjago instead
-
WB probably wants sets from the new show and Lego from the movies that they know will sell and then they will make a compromise with some of each is my guess. Then next wave depends on the sale of the sets
-
The 3 SW movies Disney made are basically poorer copy's of the originals Some people are stupid Why would JKR care what the original actor trio do and I do not understand why/if they care if she believes there are 2 sexes or 20 It is probably about money as usual, WB has probably tried to make a reboot for a long time and finally was able to make a deal JKR was satisfied with. It is a little frustrating that most of what comes out of "Hollywood" these days are a sequel or a reboot etc. I would not be surprised if Lego are making sets of the new show when it releases, SW have sets from several films and series at the same time right? How many sets we get depends on how popular the show is, it may end up like FB with only a couple of sets and a few figs

I do not have the source either, but it is right that they started the design with a village in front of the castle, turned out it was to big so they removed the village early on and just kept some small details from it like the civilian figs, cart etc. I hope you are right even if I would have preferred it sooner rather than later. The leaked set was closer to finished in the design compared to some of the other sets, however until we get solid news of at least one of the sets from the survey are being released I do not think we can do more than hope.. -

A German news site. No not as far as I know, but they are usually very well informed. Yes because if the set was coming in the next months they most likely would know something about it Of course they are not Lego so it may come soon even if they do not know about it or sometime later and leaks has not popped up yet.. -
It comes in a the little mermaid set that leaked now It has 9 fish in 3 colours and 2 minidoll animals from what I can see. It is a decent looking set, but would have preferred a lot more coral reef made with fun parts and more sea-creatures.. Edit. Sebastian just looks to be a normal red crab and Flounder has more realistic print without doll-eyes it seems

Lego Licensed Parts available from Bricks & Pieces
Roebuck replied to LegoPercyJ's topic in LEGO Licensed
My guess is this week or the next depending on how long it takes to start up the train and get it to full speed after Easter. Make sense that they did not add them during Easter so they would get a lot of orders with few or no one at work -
The threshold are getting a lot higher on average and impossible to get most of them unless you are willing to pay full price for huge sets several times a month I have several older ones and get some when I buy parts from PAB, but plan on using them for swapping for the ones I want later and buy the sets on sale elsewhere to save money

I will probably watch it and give it a chance.. However I prefer something new and original like Fantastic beast, but the people with money making them only wants to back "safe" things so then we end up with mostly new versions of every thing successful in the past I do not understand with the desperate need the studios have for new fantasy ideas why not anything from Brandon Sanderson has been made yet

Never stop dreaming As you say a Eldorado fortress is a dream come true This! I am not sure what I am most hyped about this or the medieval village, but they are both so high on the list compared to everything else I am not sure what is on the 3rd place right now
-
More likely they only give us 1 rowing boat, Lego was more generous with the number of minifigs and big parts pack then. E.g. the 90 year Castle only had 2 horses, if we ever got such a big Castle set in 1989 it would minimum had 6-8 horses Is this leaker anymore trustworthy than the last one? Until we get more evidence I eat some salt while staying hopeful D2C are often kept hidden until close to their release so could be 3 long months

Yes if we only get the Medieval Market so far no more news

If this is true it is the best I could have hoped for, Eldorado fortress is one of my all time favourites I wonder about the number of parts, but I am sure Lego has it under control
-
I am happy if we get more Castle sets, however Majisto set is not so interesting to me since I had stopped collecting Castle sets when they came out and we have a superior fig in BAM anyway.. However don't look a gift horse in the mouth so I guess 3 sets is possible: 6020: Magic Shop, small and not very interesting with only 1 fig 1906: Majisto's Tower, biggest with 3 figs and a horse 6048: Majisto's Magical Workshop, best looking one and has 2 figs and you think this is the most likely one as well. Too bad it has no horse, but would probably work well with the sets we got last year..

Do not count To bad they used a spot on that, probably why the polybag do not include any bigger printed animals I think the spring one that is live now is one of the best, the summer one look average. However I really like the line of sets so we that only buy some parts can get a GWP as well so not only the ones buying the huge sets for full price get something

Promobricks know nothing more about the set yet Too bad, hopefully we get at least one of the sets confirmed from the survey soon, that will at least confirm that some of the sets are on its way -

So it could be: A an expansion shop to the DA D2C we have and the bank D2C fit in with them or B the bank D2C do not fit the DA D2C so this is a set that goes with the bank in a new series?
