The LEGO Corner

Well, this year I am venturing into a new Lego line, thanks to the release of the new Lego Lion Knights' Castle. I'm getting all medieval!

A really fantastic looking set. So many great - and expensive - sets being released this year….

 

[sith-smith]

It is awesome. Getting it as a combined Birthday and Christmas present

Anyone here ever go for the Lego mini figures series collections?

Anyone here ever go for the Lego mini figures series collections?

I've got the Muppets and Marvel ones. I've heard there maybe a Star Wars series out soon….

 

[monkey_roo]

Sadly yes - my daughter and I began collecting them back at series 1 and other than the silly Mr Gold chase figure (I have a Fake) we have every single figure from every series and sub-series - even sadder, they are in a storage draw as nowhere or way to display them... One day maybe...

Well, this year I am venturing into a new Lego line, thanks to the release of the new Lego Lion Knights' Castle. I'm getting all medieval!

Medieval is s great run, I keep looking at the old Space sets, but they have become so expensive nowadays….a bit like everything…

 

[sith-smith]

Well as i got into the medieval stuff, the new set of mini series figure has a medieval character...Falconer. I love the original space line and they had a spaceman as well.

So consequently this is the first run I've ever paid attention to and have gone full out trying to get the ones I wanted and multiples in some cases.

A grown man in his fifties fiddling with small bags of Lego is certainly a strange sight to behold!

 

[monkey_roo]

There are a lot of rumours flying around about a new Medieval Market place set and maybe more Forest Men sets off the back of last years promo set - could be a good year to be into Castles

I just snagged the latest SW helmets, more sets to live unbuilt in boxes....

 

[sith-smith]

I hope so. Trying to build up medieval stuff from retired sets is crazily expensive

 

[MrGudz]

I love the Medieval sets Lego put out. Some of my favourites were Medieval Market Village and Kingdoms Joust.

I'm also really pleased the Lord Of The Rings is getting a push again. The Rivendell set looks spectacular, but also scarily expensive…..

 

[sith-smith]

I picked up the market village off of eBay as I missed it when it was being sold by Lego. Got the blacksmith though

I do like the rivendell set. May have to get saving.

Certainly a bit easier to fit in the house….

Executer is nice but I'm trying to decide if I'm going in for some of those new Indy sets that are coming

[MrGudz]

Just seen this leaked....

 

[monkey_roo]

Day one purchase - maybe even in real life - 10am when the store opens.......

 

[sith-smith]

I saw that. It is a tempting set.

 

[poncho]

The collection is growing. Instructions are available on Rebrickable (also has the parts list you can add to your Bricklink account)

There awesome!

 

[Mini99]

I've just started to put together a Scooby Doo Lego run.
Added the Mystery Van and the Mummy Museum Mystery sets so far which are of course MIMSB
Looking for any of the others is anyone has any to move on, MIMSB of course…

 

[monkey_roo]

the Scooby sets are good fun and thankfully limited in number so not an endless line to collect - I'll have to find mine somewhere (the kids still play with them) - but we did create this version of the Mystery Machine

Brilliant Mystery Machine…Lego has so many possibilities.
Just bought the Plane Adventure so only the two large sets left.
The lighthouse isn't too bad but the Mansion is….

Mercilessly stollen from Generation Skywalker on Facebook:

 

[sith-smith]

It's a smart looking set and those hieroglyphics are a cool inclusion

 

[MrGudz]

Just reading that Lego have pulled the Temple of Doom set. Sounds like it was due to religious sensitivities. Strange how they only decided to cancel it a month before release considering how long in development the set must have been in…?

 

[lejackal]

That's disappointing. They've done this before though, there was a plane or a helicopter that they pulled and that actually made it on shelves

 

[MrGudz]

I remember that. It was the Osprey as it was too similar to the Military version. And they dont do Military. Lego do gave some strange ways of thinking, as they'll happily produce a Luftwaffe fighter - no markings - and pilot for another Indy set....!?

 

[Mini99]

Just seen these on the Book of Faces, soon to be released…..interested?

I have been reading about this and there are a few theories about what will happen to this set as it was so far into development.
It may have production issues and not be able to make the 1st April deadline and be released later.
it maybe a store exclusive later this year.
Whatever happens I hope that this is released as it looks amazing.for later this year.

I wouldn't hold your breath…..
