NewTown Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 (edited) It is the Jungle Exploration site, 99 EUR according to Brickset. I am a little disappointed so far. I hope the finalized version looks better. It seems kind of dark for children IMO with a crashed plane and a man eating plant. I was hoping for more jungle and less vehicles. Not thrilled about the yellow either. Edited January 24, 2017 by NewTown Quote
BrickLord123 Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 Please can someone direct me on how to find the pictures on 4chan? Quote
sgeureka Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 One jungle pic is on reddit. Search for "60161 Jungle Research Station early pic" (in the subreddit "legoleaks"). Quote
K_Tiger Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 SOmeone claiming to be at Toy Fair London posted this. Take it as you will: London Toy Fair was Today: New themes are Cars 3 (nine sets),Sports(12 sets) Pirates of the Carribean(only one set),Star Wars Episode VIII The Last Jedi sets(we signed a contract,that means we can not tell what we have seen,but I can say that we get 8 sets). Sports:The line consists around some gimmick,the sets aren't licensed,only soccer sets are licensed but they have yellow face. Cars 3:Some cool sets here,they have a lot of functions,there are three small sets,one car and launcher. Pirates of the Carribean:Only one big set with ship,it has a ghost shark,6 ghost pirates,captain salazar,jack sparrow,will turner,his son,other pirates that I don't know. City has coast guard sets and Jungle. The Jungle line consists around collecting gold,there are ancient ruins,the biggest is an ancient temple with an panther,in other sets are also tigers,the starter set includesa small ruin with gold mould,three explorers and one tribe warrior that attacks them! It has also snakes,spiders and a parrot.The smallest set is a buggy,one explorer,chimpanzee,small build with gold and table with something writen on.There is a cargo plane,another ruin with gold,tiger and explorers.There is a mobile laboratory,it looks like the one from volcano wave but in yellow,it has a gorilla!,explorers,ruin,bananas,gold! The rescue set includes two tribal warriors,explorers,one tiger,yellow hellicopter,ruin and gold. Quote
Roebuck Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 Mmm sceptic First of all tigers do not live on the same continent as gorillas and chimpanzees! Second from what I could see on the pictures several have the crocodile mould including the starter set, strange not to mention that when mentioning all other animals.. Explorers that steel gold from natives do not sound like something Lego would make today Also have not the sports theme turned out to be a friends subtheme? Lastly do the toy fairs normally show D2C sets like the pirates of the Caribbean set most likely are? Quote
lightningtiger Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 Oh, the tiger reads ..... one tiger SOLD, I have to buy that set at least ! And what crooks stealing gold, well LEGO will need Jungle Police sets next ? Quote
Klaus-Dieter Posted January 24, 2017 Author Posted January 24, 2017 (edited) Thank you very much for the info post, K_Tiger! 1 hour ago, Roebuck said: Mmm sceptic First of all tigers do not live on the same continent as gorillas and chimpanzees!

Lastly do the toy fairs normally show D2C sets like the pirates of the Caribbean set most likely are? I'm sceptical, too. On the one hand these descriptions sound like a fake since the Sports theme was said to be fake and there aren't til now any set lists for this theme anywhere, another animal mould for the City theme (a gorilla) is very unlikely, the author doesn't mention the crocodiles you had seen and that a tribal warrior attacks the explorers sounds very unlikely, too. Plus an Exclusive shown at London Toy Fair?! On the other hand maybe someone wrote tiger but meant leopard, he might have overlooked the crocodiles and that the explorers hunt for gold sounds realistic. Plus when looking at the prelim pic at reddit there's a red, ancient looking canoe. It's possible that a tribal warrior sits inside. And so it would even be possible that there are tribal warriors in other sets, too - and then it would even be logical that they want to defend their treasure. Besides, the Sports 2017 topic hasn't been closed by one of our admins til now - a sign that the Sports theme is still correct? When Nuremberg Toy Fair starts, we should know.

K_Tiger Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 (edited) In defense of the supposed PotC DtC set, we HAVE seen a "ghost" shark. Could be it's something Enlighten has cooked up for their pirate-fantasy line, but I doubt it. Then again, the poster could have just taken the shark photo, added it to what we've seen from the trailer and know or can infer about the film's plot and then threw it up there. There IS a picture of the box of said set, but it's intentionally blurred out and I'm fairly sure it's fake. Edited January 24, 2017 by K_Tiger Quote

Considering the size of the panther and that there is a giant man-eating plant, I wouldn't be surprised to see them use the Gorilla Grodd big-fig mold for this theme. Quote

Does the Aztec line / figures not count or the Tribal minifigures we have seen in the CMF range? Quote

I was referring to the City line itself. Arctic, Undersea and Volcano Exploration didn't have any humans besides the researchers themselves, so why should this be any different? The largest set (that was leaked) doesn't even have any of these "Tribal Warriors". However, in the off-chance that we do get them, it would be a big step forward to City and I'd be stocked. Quote
Robert8 Posted January 25, 2017 Posted January 25, 2017 Yeah, I don't think the "tribal warriors" thing is real Isn't that exactly why they don't make pirates/islanders sets anymore? Quote
Nexo Bricks Posted January 25, 2017 Posted January 25, 2017 There are prelim pics of Fun at the Beach and the Bus Station out too. They both look great! Quote
BrickJagger Posted January 25, 2017 Posted January 25, 2017 Fun at the Beach has 14 figures, a dolphin and a dog Not digging the bus though, that whole set is pretty basic. Quote

The qvote you posted could be a fake, but that dosent mean that we do not get a Potc d2c set From what I understand the blurry photo came from Lego and are legit, I also think the ghost shark is legit.. I looks to me that somone new about all the rumors, just added some stuff to them that they find likely and made the post you qvoted Edited January 25, 2017 by Roebuck typo Quote

LOL I hope will the NYTF in a few weeks we get to see all the set in their full glory. Quote
*thomas* Posted January 25, 2017 Posted January 25, 2017 JE set just looks bad, I have a feeling I'm watching a set from 2000... Quote

The Adventurers were true explorers! Remember this sub-theme ;) You got boats, you got cars, you even got an airship! You got good guys, bad guys and a native. You also got a lot of ruins with tons of features and animals (well, little ones ^^). I will not get those new explorers sets and will take Adventurers out of their boxes this summer!

monkles Posted January 25, 2017 Posted January 25, 2017 I was underwhelmed by the Volcano line tbh, they really missed a trick making the surroundings have a slight Hawaiian feel. These sets really need more scenery and not just a dozen more whacky vehicles. JANGBRICKS had a video showing off all the volcano sets and it looked comical having so many vehicles with such a small quantity of actual worldbuilding supplied by the sets themselves. Scuba had a good quantity of both, Arctic understandably is more dependent on vehicles due to the barren nature of polar lands, but the Jungle sets should have at least one large brick-built tree in them. Jungles are meant to be dense and not look like a suburban park with a few exotic animals and 10 large vehicles parked in it. Adventurers wasn't afraid to have much smaller vehicles and more buildings and context, and it was better for it. Quote
