It's here. (the info)

http://neogaf.com/fo...=911981&page=75

I saw it yesterday but.... I didn't know this was new info :laugh:

I've been inactive for ~a month, so I came back just in time for this :P

The Ferrari F40 is one of my favourite cars. I timed my 9 year break from lego very well :-)

Wonder what the Ninjago Temple and BIONICLE GWP could entail...

Also, a reissue of the old or release of a new Winter Toy Shop?

I'm just thinking to myself how this got leaked...someone loose their job at TLG?? Or is this a "new" marketing strategy?

Excited to see "a rumored" Ferris Wheel. Hoping it goes with the Carousel 10196.

I dont think so that this is strategy in exclusive set range.There was also leak of whole exclusive set list for year 2012, this started hunt by lego to erase that list from internet.

In 2014 full of fanpages or social networks this hunt is almost impossible to be sucessful.

I was asked by my contact to take it down, but now that it is on several sites already I fear that the task may be impossible...

I can see where these types of lists might hurt lego's licensed partners, but I don't know Lego can't let a list of their own material for the year be released. It really does help planning for costs, especially since everything tends to get more expensive. That list just made me more interested in the year's products and isn't that kinda the point of good marketing...?

The biggest problem for TLG is competitors and knockoff companies producing cheaper products to compete directly.

There's still more themes and items coming anyways - approved Lego Ideas, Elves, Scooby (or ?)

Wondering how much the Ferris Wheel will be, getting excited!

I'd imagine in the same price range as the Fair Ride. My bank account is going to be so light after this year.

So, Carousel, Fairground Mixer (which I think contains, what, 1/4 the Creator Expert Carnival, I think?) and now Ferris wheel? Ah-hoot!

Oh, oh, oh, this makes me want a Viking-like ride... and maybe (MAYBE, though this is but wishful thinking) a Modular Roller Coaster... or even this:

I agree with you Hawkman. After seeing the list I'm fairly pumped and eager for the releases. In fact I now can plan for costs as well. It's cool to see the rumour mill wasn't off base either.

The Lego Group's competitors are no where near the level of their products nor have I ever seen anything resembling what they produce. (Except maybe play-mobile but they are not a building toy). Chinese knockoffs are just that and I doubt they impact Lego's market.

Context is everything. The reason what you say is true is because of TLG's secretive nature. Otherwise if TLG did release information much earlier their biggest problem would be knockoffs.

What you also have to consider is a good amount of people don't necessarily care about quality, but rather price. The term lego gets thrown around in describing a variety of building block products. So when some go shopping they see mega bloks and think lego blocks but cheaper. Thats how those products continue to exist. Thus if a person walked into a store next Christmas and saw two Ferris wheels(hypothetically of course) and one was half the price of the other which one do you think they would buy?

I realize that everyone here would choose one product over the cheaper knockoff but we are a small portion of the overall lego market.

The toy market is very competitive and any advantage you give your competitor will be reflected by your sales.

I saw a rumor on Instagram that there is going to be a new monorail in 2015. Can you ask your source about it?

This rumour circulate about name of city set metro mdp.I say monorail never happen, too much specialized parts and I think they somewhere say that new monorail is not viable.

Someone posted on here a few months ago saying that they were never going to do another monorail due to the parts required. The person who posted the rumor has been pretty accurate in the past. For the life of me though, I can not find the post.

My source doesn't know much about set lists, sorry. Apparently Lego hasn't revealed that monorail set quite yet, if it exists.
