Airbenderfreak Posted February 23, 2016 Posted February 23, 2016 I got the Starlight Inn recently and I think it is great! The design is very detailed and mostly gender neutral. It's not perfect but is an excellent starting point for MODs. I could see it fitting into a midevil setting almost effortlessly. Quote
OmShanti Posted February 24, 2016 Posted February 24, 2016 Elves Sets have been listed on Lego S@H, saying 'Coming Soon on Mar 01 2016'. So exciting, can't wait!! Quote
FortNerd Posted February 24, 2016 Posted February 24, 2016 (edited) I'm so impatient D: those baby dragons are so adorable, I'll probably try to collect all of them and their eggs... Though the one from Ragana's castle will probably be a pain to find... That book is great. I wonder... do you think the "interior pages" (1x2 tile with the green dragon print) are the same in all the summer sets that feature that book? Or is it possible that they feature alternate prints with some of the other dragons? http://imgur.com/9MC5bKb Edited February 24, 2016 by FortNerd Quote
just2good Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 Here's a look at the Water Dragon set! Quote
Vorkosigan Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 If any of the upcoming reviews could compare the new smaller wing mould to the older bigger one, I would ne grateful. I'm planning to do a review in the next day or so, but here you go: Quote
x105Black Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 (edited) I like the new map pieces. Wish I liked the dragons, but they look so ramshackle. Edited February 25, 2016 by x105Black Quote
Iria Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 In some angles the dragons look decent, while in others they look awful -such as that first pic below Just2Good's review video. The water dragon's head looks like it is floating due to the ball joint. I've warmed up to the dragons a bit, but I'm still undecided whether I'll be getting the sets that they are in for March wave. Plus this theme is looking to be quite pricey this year. I'm definitely looking forwards to the summer wave sets, which I think all look great, and more interesting IMO. Quote
Wardancer Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 (edited) I'm planning to do a review in the next day or so, but here you go: Thanks a thousand times! This I could Never have estimated from seeing one wing only. My idea of building a new Dragon with parts from old fantasy dragons has just died I think. The Body of the dilophosaurus could work, but it has this strangely shaped neck. Edited February 25, 2016 by Wardancer Quote
Velouria Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 I've got the Secret Marketplace- Should I make a separate topic for the pics? Quote
Vampirerichard Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 (edited) ahhh, I know I'm obsessing, but I can't wait!! I've slept real bad the last three nights, I just want to get back to the wonderfull world of Elvendale. Edited February 25, 2016 by Vampirerichard Quote
OmShanti Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 I picked up Emily Jones and the Baby Wind Dragon. I was looking for the Water Dragon Adventure, but it was sold out. I'm going to wait to buy the others to take advantage of the points promotion and the polybag. Quote
FortNerd Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 I'm jealous D: I haven't yet seen the sets anywhere in my city D: But check out this cool TV ad! Quote
Marishka Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 It's so great that here gathered the earliest reviews, thank you all! I have Fire dragon and for my opinion it's the best dragon in new sets, he is not too girly, but enough cute and have stronger proportions than water dragon.(please, sorry for my poor English).But I think water dragon set is great because of all this ball joints that allow to build bigger dragon as intresting MOC. I had Lego in childhood and gifted it when I grew up, since that time I lost my interest to Lego. But Elves series conquered my heart and bringed back that passion and I'm so happy that I'm adult now and can buy myself sets I want! :) Quote
OmShanti Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 I'm jealous D: I haven't yet seen the sets anywhere in my city D: But check out this cool TV ad! Aww that's too bad. So far I've only found them at Walmart. I don't usually shop there but had to check for Elves since other people found them there. You could buy online and use site to store to get free shipping if they don't have them in stock at the store. Quote
Vorkosigan Posted February 26, 2016 Posted February 26, 2016 Has this map of the Dragon Mountains been posted yet? It can be found in the back of the Secret Marketplace instructions. Lots of cool areas that would be good to MOC: Quote
OmShanti Posted February 26, 2016 Posted February 26, 2016 Ooh, no it hasn't yet been posted. Thank you for posting. It's quite the incredible map. Sacred Dragon Cove looks amazing, I would love to MOC that. Quote
Vorkosigan Posted February 26, 2016 Posted February 26, 2016 Here is a version with all the 2016 sets labeled. I tried to put the set number either directly above or below the set. Quote
Velouria Posted February 26, 2016 Posted February 26, 2016 And a look at what I think is super gorgeous character art in the instruction booklet of the marketplace set. I would like to know who the artist is! Ragana and her evil, evil kitteh! Quote
Aanchir Posted February 26, 2016 Posted February 26, 2016 That map is interesting, though it makes the part of Elvendale we saw last year look really small! Maybe it's not drawn to scale though. There's not as much on this new map that the Elves don't actually visit on their journey. On the old map there were some really inspiring location names like the Desertlands and Highlands of Helyan. Those character illustrations look fantastic! I love that you can tell how different the physiques of the dragons are even when they're not made of bricks. Ragana's cat looks cute, but evil! I wonder when we'll learn its name. I don't know who does these illustrations. I'd love to find out though! Quote
Velouria Posted February 26, 2016 Posted February 26, 2016 Hey, you have to give us a chance to buy these things you know. I have the school, and I'm off to take a few pics. Quote
mlongworth Posted February 26, 2016 Posted February 26, 2016 Ok I got water dragon 41172, school of dragons 41173, starlight inn 41174 , and secret marketplace 41176 yesterday. Its all together except for market im working on it now. Not a fan of the bodies on the dragons so I will be moving some new ones. Some cool new molds and . Lots of good parts for my medieval/fantasy village. Quote
Euphorine Posted February 28, 2016 Posted February 28, 2016 These images are beautiful! A great artist! Have you seen the new smartphone app? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_wIR34kREU Quote
Velouria Posted February 28, 2016 Posted February 28, 2016 Looks good! Also, Brickpedia has a close up image of Ragana. The first minidoll without that 1000 mile oblivious smile expression? Quote
Vampirerichard Posted February 28, 2016 Posted February 28, 2016 Whoohoo I just ordered all the sets, and an extra Starlight Inn because I plan on building a bigger version of it. I would really recommend everyone fron the Netherlands, Germany and Belguim to order from Schmetstoys.nl For the complete set you only pay € 165,25 (including shipping) compared to the RRP of € 200,00, or € 207,95 from the largest toy store chains. I wish everyone happy building. Quote
Velouria Posted February 28, 2016 Posted February 28, 2016 That Starlight inn set looks like it may work well as an expandable modular building. Quote
