That's a pretty small house - probably on par or even perhaps less than the Log Cabin. Hopefully that means a larger dwelling (or two) for the 2nd half of 2013.

judging by the past one large house seems likely.
I wouldn't mind them trying something else than a private home.

"The kingdom of Chima is a magical land in which very advanced species dominate. These creatures speak and act like people. They use vehicles and machines and live in amazing castles and fortresses. They have claws, teeth, tails, and some are equipped with wings. Now they are at war with each other...
"Chima was once a pure, natural paradise, but heavily armed barbarian species have changed it and now best friends have become sworn enemies of each other. Ruthless weapons destroyed the once sacred temples. Blood-thirsty vehicles battle each other in fatal duels in the forest.
"The creatures are fiercely fighting over a powerful natural resource called Chi. which is the source of life but also unimaginable destruction.
"Only a few brave heroes in Chima understand the true nature of Chi, and that its misuse leads to the total destruction of Chima. The stories of these heroes and those who want to destroy them are known as The Legends of Chima'."

Well, we only got Seaside House this year, which was decent sized. I do hope for a large Creator house soon.
Either a big 1000 pc family home or some other kind of building (like the lighthouse).
Also, notice the interior furnishings on this house? Is LEGO finally going that route?
haha okay so the lego friends have now turned into lego my littlest pet shop?
That solves my dilemma of how to fill out my future tmnt ikea frame. I can do 4 little turtles and a brick made can of mutagen.

What if the packs are extra floors to the current buildings. Of course, that would be really weird to just sell one floor.
BTW, where do you find all this stuff out?

its a fun idea, but I agree it seems unlikely.

Smaller things like alleyways or more interior details are more likely. Or maybe things for behind the buildings or sidewalks.

wow, creator overload, and looking at the sum of those, it seems unlikely that there will be any more next year.
my take:
ok ok neat neat ok neat nice! neat nice!
I've got a half dozen or so LEGO fan sites that I aggregate, info from folks I know, or the latest rumors/info from my LEGO store manager.

That eagle set is so bought! AWESOME!

I know! An eagle or a scorpion or a... beaver?

This immediately went to the top of my list for next year. Well, for a cheap set. Of course the new modular is most anticipated of 2013. But this set looks so fun.
I am guessing that will be a $15-$20 set.

yea, none of these new creator sets looks super expensive, hopefully lots of impulse buying
They've seen everyone's road/sidewalk setups for modulars, something along those lines would be good. Plus street furniture and trees etc
Eagle creator set is the only one jumping out at me from those new ones

Yeah, you can detach it if you want, but I feel that the set is a little naked without the tower. So I'd prefer to somehow incorporate the tower into the combined set rather than leave it out altogether.Isn't the tower detachable from the rest of the palace? At least it looks that way from the box art...
Haha!nicoga3000 said:Oh hahaha - I get it now.
I'm not a big fan of playsets, and so I resigned a while ago to not getting the Death Star, primarily because I would prefer a Death Star set like the old Death Star II set which is more like the display pieces that I tend to collect. After seeing the after-market prices of the DSII, I decided to build my own Death Star for display. I'm currently about half-way done putting it together after having designed it completely on LDD. Size-wise, it's about the diameter of a 32-stud base plate. I'll post pics when I'm done. But regarding the current Death Star playset, Bone et al have me on the verge of changing my mind. Cue the "one of us, one of us" chants...nicoga3000 said:
UPDATE on my Orthanc MOC: LEGO has approved my purchase of 260 pieces of that really expensive brick that was preventing me from building it! I literally saved about 70% compared to if I had simply bought these pieces via Bricklink. I paid $80 from LEGO versus potentially paying $260 through Bricklink. I'm now knee-deep in the frustrating process of Bricklinking the rest of the pieces. Joy...

Shit man, I wish I could get a Death Star II on the cheap. Thing is killer expensive though. I've thought of BL'ing it.
Also, that eagle is sexy. Do want!

Think I like these, though could probably pass on the green bot.

The green bot is nice simply because of the large collection of lime green bricks hahaha

Alot of those new creator sets would be great for the MOC contest!

Sadly, that is what I was thinking about as well. Tempted to grab more Friends sets just for the brick colors.
I still want a large amount of dark green bricks to make a building with. I know the Sopwith comes with tons of dark green, but not enough for a building.
Constructicons?

That green combined with the dark purple from Friends sets would work perfectly.
Someone get me instructions for Devestator!
Want!
Not as good as previous Creator houses imo. The windmill build looks particularly weak.
This one's pretty awesome! Love the beaver!
Disappointed with this set tho :/
The new Friends sets are disappointing as well. Nothing like the Adventure Camper or Olivia's House. But I will grab the 3 small bags with the new pets!
New Star Wars planets are also nice.

I am digging the sliding back door on the new house though.

I can't *believe* these lazy developers keep making file sizes so damn large. Btw, how does technology work?
Bought my first set of Lego in over a decade last week while visiting FAO Schwartz in New York.
I'm going to bring it to work and build it on my desk there.

I'm actually really happy LEGO Minecraft exists. It's a great way to bring some new folk into the slippery slope of LEGO fun.

See? Haha as we descend deeper into the madness, sets become about color and piece type and less about final product.
Sorry for double post!
PhoncipleBone

Depends. Some sets it is final product, but some it is just for parts.

In all media, only true fans who consume every book, film, game, or pog collection deserve to know what's going on.

$220 so far. Without the rare pieces.

Bought and completed the B-Wing. Overall I'd recommend it for looks alone. It is overpriced (but with 10% off + double points it was still overprices, but not as much). It has it's moments in the build, but some parts get repetitive.
+Very good looking set
+Engine area and cockpit are fun to put together
-Wings are repetitive and a bit boring
-Stand is very poorly made and flimsy compared to other UCS sets I've built. Built as instructions call for, the bottom gun turret will hit the surface of whatever it's sitting on. I had to modify it so it actually holds everything up.

what parts are that, and what did you have to do to get them?
are they not in the regular PAB?

I would like to think that GE is getting retired because another corner modular is on the way.
