    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)..

    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

    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)
  6. 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?

    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

    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
  9. Roebuck
    It do not look very promising With the latest Castle, Pirates and Space set retiring early as well, not a good sign
  10. 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
  11. Roebuck
    OK, I guess we can hope for a classic retro set in March
  12. 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
  13. Roebuck
    Rare?! We get the modular then and that is always a contender for the number one spot
  14. 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
  15. 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..
  16. 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
  17. Roebuck
    The Goonies spotted in store, has a new tricorn hat and maybe some other useful pirates parts
  18. Roebuck
    Would be interesting, also how few horses they manage to include, my guess is maximum 2
  19. Roebuck
    Thank you Will be interesting to see, I am sure we will get more news soon
  20. Roebuck
    Depends on if the set had the budget for a resurrection, I assume not. And designers do not necessary know what other designers are working on or if they can use a mould another set use the budget on.. They might use another dog, however with the HP budget and the gimic of a collectors item it seems strange to use subpar moulds
  21. Roebuck
    Then they can bring it back like the goat or make a new mould for another breed, but pretty sure we will get Ron's. I do not remember what kind of breed it was in the movies 🤔
  22. Roebuck
    Would not surprise me if this collectible patronus animals are a very good idea that will be popular both with kids and older customers, so hopefully it also will continue for some time also. I assume a lot of the characters have known animals even if they where not in the movies or even the books, so the longer this go on the bigger chance of new animals
  23. Roebuck
    The problem is that they are licensed so they most likely will not turn up on PAB. In addition Lego seems to prefer that we buy sets instead of buying loose parts on PAB and keep desirable parts away from PAB if they suspect it will damage set sales
  24. Roebuck
    Long eared rabbit (maybe the hare?) and cat confirmed as well
  25. Roebuck
    Thank you for a great list of the potential animals coming However there is no way a raven will fly as a magpie So that will be a new mould if it comes Long earred rabbit (could be the hare maybe?) and cat confirmed! Friends will get a axolotl and seal on its side..
