Was interested in what others had to say. I'll get it for sure! There was one with redish brown hair in a Disney Book set. Hope they both will eventually show up at PAB online. Fingers crossed.
karrit Posted June 1, 2023 Posted June 1, 2023 (edited) I'll probably grab a couple if they show up on PAB but it would be even better if they put them in the BAM towers. Dual molded parts are pricey so I tend to grab the ones that show up in BAM rather than the generic hair & leg pieces that are way cheaper from PAB. Edited June 2, 2023 by karrit
RichardGoring Posted June 1, 2023 Posted June 1, 2023 I'll also look in BAM first, and then PAB online if needed.

Jiesdeo Posted June 4, 2023 Posted June 4, 2023 (edited) Brick Clicker confirms the July 4th release date in his latest video, but otherwise no new info. As far as I know he's pretty reliable. Edited June 4, 2023 by Jiesdeo

jodawill Posted June 5, 2023 Posted June 5, 2023 The Lion Knights Castle was announced on June 18. So if the release dates are the same, we probably still have a couple weeks before the announcement, and it's likely that Lego took measures to prevent leaks this time around. There are also rumors of a Majisto GWP. I bet it's coming later this month, coinciding with the announcement... because you know there's no way they'll give us a good GWP at the same time a classic set is released. That's the way it works.

However, repeating the details so close to the alleged release date is hopefully (!) a good sign given the reliability of that leaker.
eldiano Posted June 5, 2023 Posted June 5, 2023 Still blows my mind how tight lipped this set has been when it comes to being leaked. the info is out there but usually there’s blurred images of it somewhere. I’m excited either way!!

Ok, I'll go post them on the Eurobricks frontpage to increase the reliability of Eurobricks on such information...

Go ahead. I don‘t see why we have to argue about who confirmed what/ when. I think it should be clear to everyone that still this all is nothing but speculation and nothing is confirmed. People are just excited, it‘s normal :)

Yperio_Bricks Posted June 5, 2023 Posted June 5, 2023 Honestly, with Lego always waiting for the very last moment i already start to loose interest. My plan is now, if the Eldorado minifigures are not good, i'll buy the Temple of the golden Idol and the Hogwards Express & Hogsmeade Station instead.

How could they not be good ? We are talking about imperials ! I'm also excited to see what it looks like. I sincerely hope there are no stickers and that it is packed in a beautiful classic box.

Most important for me are civilian minifigures and to a lesser extend pirates. But the chance is high, (some of) the pirates (and civilians) will have yellow necklines and that makes them unusable for me. I'd prefer minifigures with designs like in the licensed themes, like PotC, LotR, Indiany Jones, SW,...

Boring ugly blobs of grey and tan. The only skin toned minifig I have, is Jack Sparrow. But nothing beats good old classic yellow minifigs. Yes I am a yellow minifig supremacist. Skin toned minifigs are inferior to me! And I hope they all have yellow neck lines! Hahaha!
jodawill Posted June 5, 2023 Posted June 5, 2023 I really hope they redesign the pirates. The recent ones look really cartoonish. I hate the new bandanas and the minifigure skull.

While i had only yellow yellow minifigures as a kid i don't suffer from nostalgia and have a box of never-use Lego where all those yellow heads, hands and torsos with yellow necklines go
Aanchir Posted June 5, 2023 Posted June 5, 2023 4 hours ago, General Magma said: It's definitely grown on me and makes more sense than a regular one. Yeah, it's always felt a bit odd to me when graphic designs in themes that use minifigs have "human" features instead of minifig-inspired ones. That's also something I prefer about recent City sets' pedestrian crossing and road work signs compared to the ones I grew up with in the 90s — they use a minifig silhouette instead of a human silhouette. There's always some room for creative license when dealing with stylized imagery, of course! For example, the Black Falcon coat-of-arms isn't an exact likeness of any type of LEGO bird, but real animal heraldry was rarely an exact likeness of the animals it depicted, either. Even the Jolly Roger pattern from old-school Pirates sets (which is more or less accurate to a minifig skull's facial features aside from the outline) has aged far better than some other graphic designs from sets of my childhood, like the unmistakable five-fingered human handprints that appeared on Jailbreak Joe's arrest paperwork, and on one of the horses from the Wild West sets. But I still slightly prefer the more LEGO-like skull and bone shapes from newer sets' Jolly Roger patterns. The small changes do a lot to help make it recognizable as not just a pirate flag, but a LEGO pirate flag. It's a detail that I also always appreciate about LEGO flags featuring cannons or cutlasses that clearly resemble their LEGO counterparts. It just helps the world that these graphics appear in feel a little more cohesive.
