    I guess it depends on when you are born and what Lego you do remember from your childhood, but I am very in line with you on this For me Castle started for real in 1984 when the horse was introduced, then it peaked 1987-88 with forestmen, black knights and bardings. Then started go downhill in 1993 and hit rock bottom in the early 2000. Out of the blue in 2007 back on track before it peaked in 2011 with mill village raid and then disappeared a couple of years later

    I wonder how you sleep at night, It is only a toy Looks like a great display piece, however with only 2 minifigures and a small animal it's not cheap if it cost $60. Seems like the HP team like to make versions of Polly Pocket that probably are popular among girls? I see someone say the purple is a new color..

    You never know, depends on if they have some mould budget to spend. However more likely in a wave of farm sets probably.. The otter has leaked so then that is confirmed as well, trans light satin or something like that, not the same color as the original it seems..

    Yes, but there is a rather big size difference between male and female for red deer. However I dream of a roe deer mould with 3-5 different antlers we can swap and the sexes are basically the same size.. If I was crazy rich I would made a deal with Lego so I could pay for the mould and include it in a Castle farm set or similar That is right, will be interesting to get news for the summer wave now In January we still got the City tractor set that might give us something new

    It seems like most animals that have not been used anywhere else from this licence is because no other set have had use for them yet. Especially a patonus is a patronus in those colours, in normal colours it's just an animal. So probably only a matter of time before another set have use for them. However a bigger animal like a doe could maybe fit in a City set or maybe a Castle set, but do not have the same use as the stag that they pretend is a reindeer. So would probably need a designer that sees that they can get a new animal for cheap an include it, smaller animals would be easier to fit in.. After all HP is one of the themes that has given us most animals over time

    If they stop making the classic Icons sets we must rely on a low budget GWP here and there, CMF and Creator 3 in 1 (at least the latter have got a increased budget for figs and animals lately).. I do not have much hope for a normal wave of Castle or Pirates sets over 10 years since the last one (with a proper wave budget we could get a lot of figs and animals)

    From the description it seems not all the HP sets have a animal patronus in them, looks like we get wolf, cat and hare (otter?) this round. Surely that could not be everything so I assume they well give us more interesting animals in the summer, hopefully a doe or something else that is new..

    Skærbæk fan weekend, several talks by employees from the Lego group including the PAB team. They did not of course call them "money people" etc, that is me making my own conclusions.. Hopefully we get them all in January for a decent price, from these articles it seems it is all of them, but time will show. https://www.stonewars.de/news/vorschau-lego-pick-a-brick-neuheiten/ https://www.brickfanatics.com/lego-vending-machine-pick-brick-2026/ https://www.brickfanatics.com/new-lego-pick-brick-pieces-updates-revealed/ I guess we will get a better idea about the price when horse and snake knights part drop in a week or two

    Some "money people" at Lego did not want the vending machine minifig parts to come to PAB since they are the main seller of the set and they feared it would damage sales numbers. The lovely PAB team protested and as a compromise they will come after 6 months and not the normal 4. However in the presentation from the PAB theme they had only the Spacefigs parts so the Castlefig parts are more uncertain (are they not coming or was there simply not any space for them on the slide). This was confirmed during the SFW, but things can change of course. This is just speculation from my side, but after the new info it suddenly makes more sense why some parts are so crazy expensive on PAB; some people at Lego want us to buy sets and not get the new sought after parts for cheap there. Which is fine even it is far from a fan service (they want to make money after all), but why put them on PAB in the fist place, e.g. a $16 fox is ridicules and will only piss people off

    There are a lot of redfox focus in the coming sets from Minecraft, hopefully we will get one in City as well (preferably in a cheap set so we do not "need" to pay $16 on PAB)..
  11. Roebuck
    January at least the spacemen are confirmed for that so hopefully the knights also. However as I have said I fear the price of the parts, noting that stops Lego from taking $4-5 for shield, torso and legs each
  12. Roebuck
    I hope/think the pigeons will be a rather common animal in sets at least in City in the coming years. Definitely not a polybag, but I almost demand that they will be in the next modular or the designers have not paid attention to what their colleges are doing (maybe a recolor even)
  13. Roebuck
    That is a long time to wait even for me and I am rather patient person If its a GWP 1 new print is usually what we get, but maybe they can use the griffin knight as a dark knight so we can get a new shield print?
  14. Roebuck
    I think B-bay also sold well, but for some reason was retired early even if it was sold out sever months at the time during its shelf life
  15. Roebuck
    Strange that If we are staying positive I think it's a good sign that fans will not buy everything they make for ridicules prices. At least that sends a signal to them, even if it was their plan all along.. I so hope the BAM theme will snatch it up, I am sure the left hand do not know what the right hand does anyway in that huge company Part of the company definitely does, in the light of this info other crazy high prices on PAB lately make more sense. They want us to buy the set and not get the hot new parts for "cheap" on PAB, if we insist on buying them there we must pay a arm and a leg for them.. I also complained now so lets see who gets the answer first
  16. Roebuck
    It do not look very promising With the latest Castle, Pirates and Space set retiring early as well, not a good sign
  17. Roebuck
    Do you still think it will win No only USA/Canda, the rest of the world is just slow. However my pigeons took flight yesterday
  18. Roebuck
    OK, I guess we can hope for a classic retro set in March
  19. Roebuck
    That is possible, maybe they just retire them after the set is out? How do you know it is incensed? There was one rather big set coming in January I hoped could be a Pirate set, but it could have been that one.. Do hope they continue with 1 of the classic themes get a set every year
  20. Roebuck
    Rare?! We get the modular then and that is always a contender for the number one spot
  21. Roebuck
    I think that is in a botanical set.. I do not know about the rest, maybe they have to much stock of them.. There is a big unknown icons set coming in January, but I expect that to be Pirates if I should guess.. Or maybe the parts are just showing up in BAM
  22. Roebuck
    I am sure that is the hare.. Why could they not include the other patronus animals, that is more interesting to me than the figs Seems like they guessed or went with previous info..
  23. Roebuck
    Do not think that is a coincidence at all Makes sense, get it out when the hype is at its peak. Strange they did not release it before the season starts, maybe the set leaks something from the show
  24. Roebuck
    The Goonies spotted in store, has a new tricorn hat and maybe some other useful pirates parts
  25. Roebuck
    Would be interesting, also how few horses they manage to include, my guess is maximum 2
