I only tested with the PC version, and it works.

Will get back soon with info about news, but preliminary there are no changes in the software itself, only added bricks.

First analysis done: 76 new bricks added - a few new and a few old/legacy.

What do you guys think?

New1264.lxf

215MB. The size has certainly gone up since the last version...

Already a bug with the new parts :P:

-New part 59278 SHIP 18X72X7, ASSEMBLED is difficult to multicolor, when you want to color the inside, the outside takes over the same color..

Meh...such a massive update and yet so little parts....I was hoping for more 2014 parts.

Here are al the new parts, with the possible multicolors:

Agree. But parts are not released in LDD until the sets they're in are in the shops....unfortunately

They STILL haven't added the old technic 1x4, 1x6 and 1x8 plates (the ones with hollow studs and holes in the ends).

That's all I ask for.

Still no minidolls!

Disappointing for myself, looks like all rubbish parts I don't use. Oh well, was hoping to see the new L and Servo motors.

Okay, the new update did add one MAJORLY useful functionality to the software. There's now a scrollbar on the decorations menu for elements like the minifig head which have too many decorations to fit on one screen!

Except by accident — the Techno-Blade from the new Ninjago sets and the penguin from the new Friends animal packs have been in there since the LAST update, as has a new hose piece that is making its first appearance in the LEGO Movie sets.

That's part of why I'm a bit sad that this big update came now. If it had been a January update, we might have seen more parts. As it is, we probably won't see another update this size until March or April. Then again, perhaps some parts might be added in smaller updates in between.

Still no this piece..... makes me freakin mad. I'm getting tired about the Vahki lower torso..........

This feature is very useful, though I wish it had happened for the colors as well. Truth be told, I was also hoping to see more minifig pieces from the new Ninjago and Hobbit sets (ex: Thranduil's crown, Azog's head, etc.) and the Cave Troll from the mines of Moria. Other than that, this is a great update!

Shameless Edit: After having a look at the decorations file, it seems to me that this update is not fully complete. Can't wait to see what else TLG releases.

THEY FINALLY ADDED SCROLLS FOR THE DECORATIONS!

Now, to play with the new pieces!

EDIT: Series 9-11, City, Ninjago and CHIMA decorations!

I'm a little disappointed by this update's parts, but it is pretty huge otherwise. The addition of the scroll bar is a life saver. And the new decorations are probably cool, though I haven't got to try any out yet.

Still no FoV slider. I am punching stuffed animals out of reactionary rage as we speak.

I kinda wish they had the scroll bars for the color pallet because if you input the LDD Color Chart into UserPallettes, you get a huge list of colors in the Color Filter.

Castle and Galaxy Squad, too.

Can anyone generate a file with all the new decorations, or otherwise create some kind of pictorial reference? I've never known where to find them myself, and usually get my list from other people.

Even the new decorations on 2x2 tiles would be helpful, as I'd be able to see them clearly and identify which parts they go on.

I noticed they added the CLUTCH gear this time, I do not recall it being available in the previous version.

And the small trechnic track ... it was already there in the previous version.
