Angry Birds 2016

[Wrothgar]

AB is a nostalgia investment, same than speedor. The buy-and-forget in the attic kind!

I'm ready hunting the king pigs castle and AB minifigs

[comicblast]

I assume the sets will be based off of the movie, which will hit theatres at about the same time that the sets come out (Spring 2016), so some of the pictures may begin to "click" once we get to see actual footage. 

The red guys actually really resemble each other IMO, so it's not as if the new minifigure is way out off target. Also digging the egg piece, though a normal minifigure can't exactly hold it. TLG should give the egg a 1x1 base to give it some usage outside of the Angry Birds world.

OK, will these birds have legs?  Has there ever been a minifig without legs?  Well, besides Jabba. 

Do you think these will be built with a launch system, like the toys from previous years.  Throw the birds and knock down platforms, walls with piggies, etc.?

Maggie Simpsons, Genies, Mermaids, etc

These sets are based on the movies, so it will depend on what the birds will be doing in the movie

Nice, luv it

So now there's Angry Birds AND Bad Piggies...

[TheOrcKing]

These 3D models of the figures appear borderline to DUPLO ones. From the bowl, plate studs, and arms with hands on that pig, I can tell they will be regular minifigure scale but even so it and the bird posted earlier share the bulky simplicity in form much like the larger DUPLO figures. I wonder what particular shade of green LEGO will use; maybe bright green which is a relatively rare color for arms mostly seen with a couple of the TMNT sets and some holiday ones.

Also, I didn't see this here yet (from http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=110494&st=175):

75821 - EUR 19.75
75822 - EUR 29.58
75823 - EUR 46.08
75824 - EUR 52.33
75825 - EUR 70.99
75826 - EUR 91.33

These prices seem to be a bit "odd", but are consistent with the blank boxes in that one image.

Brickset has some images up of the upcoming Angry Birds sets. To me, these look really lame and dated. I really question the relevance of Angry Birds.

regardless of what we think of it; as long as kids love it, it will sell. Which means, we will be buying them.

Pretty cool. Just not sure if it will be good for re-selling. I guess it depends on the movie.

And I like that you need almost every set to get all of the birds.

I can just see that as buy and sell at XMAS 2016 if stores run out of supply.

As Long-term this is the same as Lone Ranger, Lego Movie, Turtles etc.

The sad thing is that the Angry Birds castle is better than the Nexo Knights castle.  That's not really saying much, but I still think it's a better castle.

You're not alone in that thought.

[TheOrcKing]

These sets are associated with the film over just the game's source material therefore I imagine the references in design make almost no sense until then. Still out of them all, I kind of like the little hut with motorcycle. The character figures are outside what I prefer and relatively close to a DUPLO figure but they seem to match the film going by the trailer at least. Anyway I can imagine some interesting stop motion clips showing up on YouTube down the road. Haha.

Official LEGO Angry Birds Set Images

 

The sets are as follows;

75825 Piggy Pirate Ship

Shiver me timbers, those naughty piggies are escaping Bird Island­ with stolen eggs! Quickly fire Red and Bomb off the jetty using the catapult before it sails too far away. Land the Angry BirdsTM on the Piggy Pirate Ship, search the decks and battle the piggies to stop them stealing the eggs!

 

 

75824 Pig City Teardown

Use the catapult to shoot Red and Stella into Pig City! Cause a chain reaction by firing the birds above the boulder, and use the piggies’ own TNT against them! Chase the piggies all over Pig City to get the eggs back, but keep your eyes peeled for the sliding piggy in his umbrella! Will the birds even find their eggs in all this piggy-crashing excitement?

 

75826 King Pig’s Castle

King Pig has stolen the eggs and is preparing a feast! Prepare for some seriously feathery fun as you catapult Red at the castle and watch the piggies go crashing! Fly Mighty Eagle in with a swoosh, but watch out for the TNT box with wings. Race to the top of the tower and rescue the eggs before they slide into the cauldron. Stop Chef Pig putting boiled eggs on the menu, and serve up your own side order of awesome bird-slinging action!

 

75823 Bird Island Egg Heist

Red’s hot temper has landed him in an Angry Bird Anger Management Class at Matilda’s House­—but he’s even angrier when a naughty piggy steals the eggs! Catapult Red at the Piggy Trike and take the eggs from the box in the back of the trike! Play out action-packed scenes from The Angry BirdsTM Movie and return the eggs to the flock.

 

75821 Piggy Car Escape

Speedy Chuck is racing after the Piggy Car as the naughty piggy has stolen some of the bird eggs! Dodge the flying ice cream as you catch up with the pesky piggy!

Rescue the eggs safely and return them to the flock, or play out your own chaotic and fun scenes inspired by The Angry BirdsTM Movie.

 

I think these look pretty cool, the kids are gonna love em.

[TheOrcKing]

While still not knowing anything of the film's material or content, I do like the cartoony appearance these builds have. The plane, beach house, hut, and vehicle are nice. At least the pigs having regular minifigure arms will make them a tad more usable to me for other characters since light bright green (whatever) is an extremely rare color in minifigure parts I believe last time I checked. Also apologies to Gallows and his posted images being stubborn.

[brickolodon]

IMHO will be short run...
