Wouldn´t that be just another reason to have a list, so people can check what certain tags were awarded for? I mean, sure maybe it wouldn´t be possible to track all of them down, especially if some were just created to be awarded for a single member. But as far as I understood some were also awarded for certain events and such and are also more common to see in the forum. Personally, like @SpacePolice89 I´ve been wondering about the origin of some of them while browsing the forum quite often. ;).

Exactly this. And I couldn´t even say this time had better designs than that, since when I look at the models, there are some Sets from the past I like better compared to new ones and some newer ones that look better to me than older ones. Personally I don´t like the new colour sheme of the ambulance series and the one they used before looks much better to me - while the older model posted here has other issues in comparism, especially the angular front. But in the end the older colour sheme is the one I grew up with, so that might be part of the reason why I prefer that one - but it also is closer to real live ambulances here and overall to me Dark Turquoise is a strange choice for it anyways.

Yeah, Also a lot Dinos exist in Lego "form" because they were designed to include them in the Lego Jurassic Video games, so reusing existing material is pretty easy IMO. And probably they have plenty of unused designs from concepts for Sets that didn´t make it into production anyways.

It is pretty much up to your own taste whether it is better or worse though. What you see as a downgrade might be a improvement to someone else. And personally I especially couldn´t agree that recent Set quality went down, we got great Safari Sets and last/this years Space wave was great too - the construction Sets were really well made and the Lego Truck is very nice too - now of course that is my personal opinion about them, but overall I would actually say that the last years were some of the best for the theme.

I´d actually more thought about just the head used as decorative element to represent the faction, than an actual built horse. Eitherway I am still not to sure if I would expect the piece to show up in the set.I mean in the end it would be used exactly as a horse head decoration, and not exactly as part to built something else. Not saying they can´t do it, but I would still be surprised if they would. Anyways I could see it work well as either a Stone Element or End of a Timber Beam.

Should be the same piece, just in an unprinted version. However I am not sure, if that piece wouldn´t be a bit to special to be used in the creator theme..

Well they did the rococo Lady not that long ago, so I don´t see why they couldn´t do something similar.

I hope not. Chaos Theory could get more Sets next year while it is unlikely we will get more Sets for this movie after this year.

So we are getting another set without (moulded) Dinosaur it seems. Wondering what it will be since we already got a buildable Dino and a Skull, and I don´t really think we will get a second of either.

I am not sure if Lego would do this in the first place, but I wouldn´t say that it fits in a castle Series anyways.

I don´t think people would expect the series to be full of retrofigures and the past has shown, that new figures work well without that. However soemthing like a Cartboard Knight is something I (and probably many others) wouldn´t be interested for sure. I mean space had some fun ideas with the orion figure and the saucer costume, but for castle there are just so many different things they can do with it that it would just seem like a wasted slot to me. I mean, they can include Knights, Rogues, Peasants, different professions, a Princess and if we expand in the fantasy theme, the things they can do are even more unlimited ;). In the end they shouldn´t have problems to fill several series with ideas if they would like to. In the end the more minifigures are included that can be used several times the better. Though of course there will always also be the ones you probably won´t need several of like the wizard, or the king etc. Exactly. I would really hope for some more peasant minifigures, or other commoners to populate peoples castelworlds.

Totally agree here, I was happy that they did the Classic Orange Spaceman in a GWP later and it was avaiable on PAB and then even in the Insiders Tic Tac Toe Set. There was no way I would have spent 15€ for it.

That is likely what they would do, yes. And I am actually not sure if I would prefer that - I mean we already got some of the older factions, and right now I don´t think I need any particular of those we didn´t get yet. I´d rather have a more generic series honestly. Only for the price machine as far as I know, and we will see once that once gets the first leaks. I just don´t think that would work though, since there will always be one figure that is worth more than others - best example is the D&D series where we got a lot of great minifigures but the Dragonborn knight still is the one that most people tried to get. I don´t think that would be an issue, in the end, they surely wouldn´t make those two to close to each other, but we already know what we will get this year so the earliest we would see a castle series would be next year anyways, and they have done Marvel Series 2 two years after they did Series one also. However they could of course deceide to rather make a D&D Series two, than a Castle themed Series (in that case I would still have my hope for a Castle Series for the 50th anniversary of Lego Castle 2028. Space didn´t seem to go that well, yeah - and I have doubt the (non CMF)-F1 Series will do better (probably it will do worse) but they do know that Castle Figures are doing well, so I don´t think they will come to that conclusion. The main justification they would need IMO is that it will sell well ;). Maybe fewer, but in the end the series will consist of twelve figures so finding 2-3 surely wouldn´t be hard ;) Include a rabbit as a companion to a knight and you already got one ;). Yeah I also do think, if that would be a reason, they could just do a Castle themed series without bringing back any of the older factions but just new stuff like they did in the past and make a mix of knights, rogues and peasants.

With how well the D&D series went and and the fact we got a space themed series last year and a F1 Themed (although not CMF)-Series this year, it doesn´t seem like a unlikely thing to happen that they will make a castle themed one too - though they seem to accompany product lines and a castle Line seems kinda unlikely to me - so it could depend on if they want to make a themed series over multiple themes now every year, or not. Eitherway, I also could see them doing it for 50 years of Lego castle, but that would mean we would have to wait three more years for it and IMO with how popular castle figures are in like every series they hopefully do it sooner than that. A second D&D series also seems fairly likely to happen given that the one we just had was probably the best going so far.

If they would include Moduls like they sell seperately in the Castle Parts, that would increase the price by a lot though. So I think it is good like it is, though probably something else than the transfiguration would have been a better choice to include in such a small build.
