Anyone know how long THESE have been around? Seen 3 different ones so far.

The Elves immersion FB page has like 7 or 8 of these vids up already...in English. The big takeaway, as far as the physical Lego sets goes, is that Noctura is also the giant bat from the treehouse set. Much the same way that Lumia can transform into animals as well.

I'd wager that this is correct. The crystal hollow set did come with one of the elemental keys though. My daughter just did well at school, and we offered her one of the smaller sets as an encouragement....we said it was to be a smaller set, and gave her the choice between one of the newer, or one of the older...and she picked the crystal hollow set. Still waiting to get it. In 2018 news, the eagle that Lumia turns into is quite a small build...smaller than I expected it to be.

Yeah, the catalogue image shows several cameos at the bottom of the box art....small circles containing each character included in the box. They don't typically mention the animals included in a set, only the characters or collectible characters (ie: goblins or bats). Noctura's chariot seems to show an all green bat, which we've not yet seen in the winter 2018 sets....and the treehouse shows something that looks to be all blue.....either a bat, or a baby dragon. Maybe they're including some "friendly" bats?

Is it just me or does it look like 41196 (treehouse) comes with a baby dragon?

Thank you very much!

4Chan is a bloody mystery to me....no idea how to properly navigate it. Not finding the catalogue on reddit neither. Any helpful hints?

Where does one download this catalogue?

They also kind of retold the intro story a few times....some of the shorts repeated themselves. I think there were at least 3 different shorts on how Sophie arrived in Elvendale. With all the changes in animation style and whatnot it was rather apparent that they didn't have a unified vision of how to move forward with the show. A bit unfortunate, because they could have easily turned it into a real going concern....proper branding and marketing can genuinely ensure greater success for a franchise, or product line. They really chopped up the story and mangled it quite badly. Some things got repeated, some got left out. Definitely could have been better handled.

I bought 41193: Aira & the Song of the Wind Dragon today at Toys R Us....they had all 5 new 2018 sets on the shelf. I also saw the white wolf on the map at the back of the booklet, and am speculating that either Lumia can transform into multiple forms, or there's going to be a 2nd shape-changer elf......and since the 1st is a woman, it would make sense for the 2nd to be a man.
