No More Monkeys Posted August 29, 2014 Posted August 29, 2014 So where are the sets that count? There's not one exclusive in the bunch... Yeah, we need Elsa's Castle UCS of some sort... Quote
Alpinemaps Posted August 29, 2014 Posted August 29, 2014 So where are the sets that count? You bring up a good point. Most of those aren't that. Although, I'd argue that there is good potential in Elsa's castle, the Pirate ship, and the Supercars (if done right). Quote
Ed Mack Posted August 29, 2014 Posted August 29, 2014 Yeah, we need Elsa's Castle UCS of some sort... There are some good sets in there I'm sure, but all the exclusives are not there. Quote
No More Monkeys Posted August 29, 2014 Posted August 29, 2014 There are some good sets in there I'm sure, but all the exclusives are not there. I suspect that leakage is different for exclusives vs regular sets. Like someone has early access to kids catalog proof. Quote

Maybe a large car or two. Quote

I guess the ordering form goes out this time of year for the LEGO Independent Retailers. They cannot buy exclusives, so this list would make sense. Quote

Or note how pirate ship does not have a name, even though the naming contest is over. Quote

tractorboy Posted August 29, 2014 Posted August 29, 2014 Looking forward to seeing that Supercars line, really hope they're proper models. Some people will want to collect them all with any luck. Nothing else really grabs me to be honest. Hopefully there'll be some good exclusives coming up. The Elvis line has some potential I suppose. Shakin' all ovahhh! Quote

Shakin' all ovahhh! That's Elves (that is multiples of Elf creatures), not Elvis. Or Elf somehow makes you shake? Quote
Ed Mack Posted August 29, 2014 Posted August 29, 2014 That's Elves (that is multiples of Elf creatures), not Elvis. Or Elf somehow makes you shake? Elvis LEGO sets? Probably would sell very well. They could include sound bricks. 1 Quote
No More Monkeys Posted August 29, 2014 Posted August 29, 2014 Elvis LEGO sets? Probably would sell very well. They could include sound bricks.AND light bricks... Quote

tractorboy Posted August 29, 2014 Posted August 29, 2014 AND light bricks... a whole lotta light bricks goin on... Quote
TheOrcKing Posted September 3, 2014 Author Posted September 3, 2014 Someone pointed out how the singular of "elves" is "elf" and then added that an elf in olden tales of yore can be a pixie or fairy so this upcoming "Elves" theme with not much to go on aside from featuring minidolls and using colors same as the Friends line may simply very well be a fantasy/castle/magic extension of the well-established Friends line. This honestly makes more sense than anything else like a theme based around little gnomes or helpers of Santa or something. Get ready to see little Tinkerbells flying around. Quote

Some people somewhere suggested that it's nice move from TLC to reuse LOTR/Hobbit molds when license runs out. They'll just use different hair Quote

So, you're saying the plural of milf is milves? Interesting... 3 Quote
exciter1 Posted September 3, 2014 Posted September 3, 2014 Will the new minifigure scale Minecraft sets be out before Christmas, or not until January 2015? Are they semi-exclusive, like the current Minecraft sets? Quote
TheOrcKing Posted September 4, 2014 Author Posted September 4, 2014 Will the new minifigure scale Minecraft sets be out before Christmas, or not until January 2015? Are they semi-exclusive, like the current Minecraft sets?They are supposed to be released later this year from what I heard. As for exclusivity, I have no idea. I honestly cannot see the entire theme being limited to just the Lego Stores & Shop-at-Home but then again Technic has been a Toys R Us limited theme and continues to be really for most. Quote

I honestly cannot see the entire theme being limited to just the Lego Stores & Shop-at-Home but then again Technic has been a Toys R Us limited theme and continues to be really for most. It is very strange that the US is supposed to be the most free market of all and yet, LEGO limits their products there the most. Here you can find exclusives and especially Technic in every hole. Small electric appliances store selling TVs, fridges and some random stuff in small quantities like a few LEGO sets? Yeah, sure, they have an SSD. Makes sense. Outskirts very small (closet size LOL) toy shop, having HH and Sandcrawler? Yeah, totally normal. These stores are not following retirement dates and are not stalked by resellers, most of them don't even have an internet presence. This is why I occasionally find long retired exclusives. Quote

mattyman Posted September 15, 2014 Posted September 15, 2014 News from the Lego facebook page - "We have HUGE news coming your way! In 4 days time, we will be revealing something very exciting right here. Let the guessing game commence!" Any ideas what this could be? Quote
