What odd choices to turn into small 18+ sets. I won't be buying any of these since I find them way too expensive for their size and for what look like simple, straight-forward build experiences, but Yoda's Hut is the nicest of the three, I think. Like others have said, the trench run looks like a glorified GWP, and I find the pixelated look of the trash compactor too messy & simple for a display set. I'm glad they're trying new things, though, even if they're not my cup of tea. Perhaps this will bring us closer to highly-detailed, minifigure-scale models of ships that can be done at a 50 - 150$ price point à la Brickvault.

When buying this online, the LEGO Shop should ship you each module separately every three weeks to get the true in-game experience. Nice MOC, have they done a Clash of Clans board game? It brings back memories of the old LEGO Games theme.

If we get another Ewok Village set, it would be pretty funny/cute to get a baby Ewok.

It looks fishy to me because it doesn't have the same cloudy/blue-y quality as the new trans-clear formula that's been used to make the UCS A-Wing & Gunship canopies, the T2 Camper Van & Ecto-1 windscreens, etc, but I'm keeping an open (skeptical) mind.

Interesting that there's no mention of piece count. They mention that the set's price is "probably" 630 euros, like the Titanic, but I wonder whether it'll have more or less pieces, considering it's a much more skeletal structure, without as many opportunities to include large bricks or plates. It'll be interesting to see it in dark tan, since all official and MOC renditions have been in DBG or LBG. Shame that it's a remake, though, there are plenty of other landmark buildings around the world that are deserving of being turned into massive LEGO sets, but I get that the Eiffel Tower is one of the most famous monuments in the world and can reach a larger target audience.

That's one of the coolest dinosaur molds I've seen in a while.

Taking a better look at the Earth Globe, could it be that the continent name plates are shown glowing in the dimly-lit picture because those 2x4 rounded tiles are glow-in-the-dark pieces? They do have a bit of a greenish glow to them, so I'm guessing that could very well be the case. A very nice detail for nighttime displays.

The Globe is very good-looking, it reminds me of the Typewriter in that it is a life-size (or near life-size) replica of a real-world object. I am rather surprised by the rumored 200$ price point, though, but we'll see how many pieces it has when it is revealed. The catalogue says it's a February release - two LEGO Ideas sets two months in a row, then. I wonder what the next two sets, 21333 and 21334 will be.

A Tallneck, eh? I can see TLG pumping out a ~40 - 50cm statuette for 80$. I wonder what the ppp would be for a random AAA game, I imagine it will vary depending on the franchise (?).

Looks like some people's orders are being charged and sent to the warehouse. Meanwhile my Fishing Boat is still in 'In Process' Jail

Well, there he is. I only watched VII out of the sequel trilogy (the reviews of IIX and IX got rid of my appetite for new Star Wars content, and I've already been hurt too much before...), but for all of the sequel trilogy's flaws, performances is something I can't really fault for the cast. Adam Driver is a solid actor and I'm glad they got him on board for the new movies.

Looks like somebody on the Bricklink page of the Castle found the pdf instructions! The set number is the only differentiating element between each pdf instruction link, so changing it manually gives you access to the other sets. A little bummed about there not being an access for the minifigures to get to the lower deck of the Great Fishing Boat, but that would just be a hidden internal detail, so I'm still very much looking forward to getting my copy Anyone know when the first batch is set to be shipped? I've been staring at the "In Process" status on S@H for days now...

Sorry I'm a little behind on the flood of discussions about the rumored prices, but is the 530$ set confirmed to be UCS or MBS? I see a lot of people betting on it possibly being an MBS Jabba's Palace, which would be pretty cool, but does Jabba's Palace have enough going for it to be made into a 530$ set? I mean, the MBS Cloud City was pretty big and encompassed everything that was shown of Cloud City in Episode V, and it was still "only" 350$. Maybe Jabba's Palace + a medium-scale Khetanna to be able to also recreate the Sarlacc Pit scene would make more sense for that price. A 530$ minifigure-scale Sail Barge, though, now that would be the dream

So there's (in order of approval): Earth Globe Sonic & Starry Night Lighthouse Foosball Table Office & Quartet I think the globe and Sonic already have rumored set numbers, 21331 & 21332, which leaves 5 sets in the pipeline for four rumored prices. Could the Office be a full building in the Sesame Street style instead of a sitcom setup like the Friends apartments? I can see the Jazz Quartet be 350$ or 300$, due to the size of both the original project and of the buying power of its target audience.

The instructions will be available to download as PDF on desktop computers when the sets ship, right? Because this is the first time I am checking the instructions app on my device and my god is the performance absolutely abysmal - slow animations, misrendered images - it's terrible. Is there any way to boost performance or just download instructions as image files?
