    Excellent to get a new owl somewhere else when they are so lacking in the HP summer wave this year, however would have preferred it to have similar print to the sitting tan owl so we can pair them up. The way things are going now we will end up with some species sitting and some other ones flying

    Happy to see the BAM animals are back finally Nice to get a new flying owl, but I would have preferred if the print was similar to the sitting tan owl

    Maybe I have mentioned this before, but it is a little strange if we only get a 4+ farm set in City this year when basically the Disney farm set is the the same set just half the size It may be that the Disney one is selling really well for a limited set and they decided to release a more easy available one in City this year. However we got the tractor last year, horse transporter this winter and in the summer we will get 2 more small farm sets that are not 4+, so a big limited farm set makes most sense to me. Have we ever had a wave where the 4+ one is the biggest one when none of the other sets are 4+?

    Must be some of the best/most useful figs in a specific theme to come out from a creator 3-1 set right? The pirate ship had 3 figs and only one new torso, and the castle had 3 figs and zero new parts. I have never collected the Vikings line so will not buy the set, but will be interesting to see if the future 3-1 sets will get a slightly better budget so they can include new figs at least or if this was just a one hit wonder

    Prelims are in the trade catalogues not at shop@home, I can not remember a single case of Lego publishing a prelim on their official page, so I would say what you see is what you get
  6. Roebuck
    I do not think that is the price, more likely 2x or 3x that unfortunately, but I hope you are right

    The new piglet from City has leaked Time will show if it is in this set
  8. Roebuck
    The sets should be revealed by Lego soon I think, will see if that happens before the rest of them leaks Not necessarily The adult pig in production is in that colour, so it was most likely the juvenile would be in that colour as well. The cow on the other hand is not in production so it could have been a stand in in the prelim, however the last farm set with a cow included them in black & white so it is maybe the most likely colour, but if it is I hope it is in a new pattern from last time to get more variation (they even changed the white horse slightly after some years absence, so I assume they will do it now as well) That is almost guaranteed with already 6 animals in the set without any duplicates However I think they will use them in other sets (still hope for a big limited release farm that is not 4+) and maybe some small ones like a polybag that hopefully will drive down the price

    With the scale of previous HP D2C all over the place probably not
  10. Roebuck
    Probably, my guess is that they will release other smaller sets like the creator one for the anniversary that normal toy shops can sell. Would not be surprised if this is only sold directly from Lego or maybe a few of the biggest shops as well (that normally sell D2C sets)

    I have been there and it is not a very big room so do not think it would help to hire more people as there is no room for them unless they work in shifts around the clock and I do not think that is very likely. Employees trying to stay awake and picking parts in the middle of the night, it would be a nightmare to handle with all the faults Yes, hopefully it will be similar again after the break and startup problems

    Maybe the designer did not what to do a video or there is some other reason they did not do it, but a lot of sets do not have them after all

    If you take a look on #legoleaks on Instagram or other places they share leaks you may see something It is not allowed to share images or links of leaks here

    Those are both greats sets, but I would not say they are in system scale, well the Disney one is a strange 50-50 scale, so they must do it differently with this castle. My guess is less small external details, closed wall on the outside, open on the inside with easy access to the rooms with a lot of details hopefully.. I built the blacksmith set yesterday and it is a nice looking and fun set to build, but the scale is way of anything we have gotten in Castle previously unfortunately. Not the Lego designers fault since I believe the original submission was even bigger, but would have been better if they choose a Ideas submission with more buildings at a smaller scale in my mind. There are plenty of those on Ideas, but I guess we will not get a Castle set for a long time on Ideas now

    OK, sounds right since it has been more than 3 months already
  16. Roebuck
    This is always the case, If HP Lego suddenly stopped selling now we probably would not get any sets next year, so if you see it or not do not matter much on the bottom line i think That is probably right, but this time they decided to make films for teenagers and adults and since you are here I assume you are an adult so you should be fine The HP film series started out as kids movies and transition in to an older audience so not so strange FB film series started with the older audience from the get go

    That is true, however it depends on the budget of the set if it is high enough to make a new mould I believe the goat have a good chance. On the other hand if the budget is medium (or hopefully not even low) they will use it on bringing back parts out of production and maybe a recolour or two I do not have good enough control of what Castle parts are in production: a lot of the weapons are probably in different sets, so maybe not a lot missing here? we have some headgear like a knights helmet and the forrestman hat however I assume it is a reason why there are only one helmet in the blacksmith set a lot of animals available, but if they want to include the horse in the classic style as black or white a recolour is needed and the horse barding is definitely not in stock (the saddle just came in fortunately, saved by City again) other than the black falcons most of the minifigs need new printing I assume
  18. Roebuck
    There are some rather big chances there now, so it depends on what animals you want?! They have removed every 2022 part for now, and apparently will include them after 3(?) months after their release if I remember correctly Older animals should be there as long as they are in stock I managed to order the new animals before the change and have not ordered anything since so maybe someone with more experience with the new system could be of more help

    Whatever was the reason I really hope we see more of her in the next films, Newt and Tina scenes are fun to watch I agree

    Looks like the frog comes in a new colour (magenta) in the orchid set
  21. Roebuck
    Thanks, used google translate and Stonewars say that the info are most likely from prelims in the shop catalogue so they may be different colour in the final sets
  22. Roebuck
    Yes, City are doing a fantastic job in the animal mould department lately and we can get a lot there. On the other hand that makes it cheaper for a set like this to include them and how many civilian figs have we gotten previously in Castle sets that has no livestock in them?! I agree they should fill up the stable first in this set when it comes to animals, but I hope they do not stop there After Castle and Western disappeared and Paradisa etc moved to Friends, horses show up only once every leap year That is probably more realistic number, but I am setting myself up for disappointment and expect more I agree, this would be a great set to bring back the goat, but we will soon see.. I really hope this has a lot more budget than the Ideas blacksmith set or we may be in trouble I wish I had done that the short time it was on shelf's back in the day I agree, If they give us less than 4 hoses in this set that will be bad after all they managed to include 4 reindeer in the small "battle pack set" Do you have any source for the colours? I have not heard them mentioned previously
  23. Roebuck
    I am sure Lego will be able to make a great castle for 350$, however as I have said earlier it is the details that matter most to me and I hope they go all out on the minifigs and animals in this set. If I wanted basic castle parts I would just buy 3x of the castle 3 in 1. Now we have the chance of getting a set with lots of livestock and new minifigs for the first time in a decade in the Castle theme so i hope they do not waste the chance
  24. Roebuck
    Yes, however if it is not a train in system scale they are loosing all the train fans as buyers
  25. Roebuck
    They are expensive, just look at a basic City train set that cost 230$, add a much more detailed train, maybe some extra tracks and a detailed station or two and you are getting close by Lego standards
