New images of summer sets
Posted by Huw,
Amazon.co.uk has published images of summer Elves, Ninjago and Architecture sets which I have added to the database.
Also, an image of this year's Duplo 'random' polybag, 30322 Wildlife has cropped up at Bricker.info. They are a great way to get Duplo animals and figures without buying full sets; if you can find them, that is.
This year's bag contains either a penguin, polar bear, tortoise, lion cub or an elephant. You can see what's inside by peeking through the clear seam on the back of the polybag. :-)
Thanks to Dmitriy at Bricker.info and Michiel at bouwsteentjes.info for the news.

The Elves sets look fantastic! Can't wait to get them.
Ninjago looks amazing! Same for Elves. I wish we got a better, non-watermarked picture of 70596 Samurai X Cave Chaos, though.
Do I spy the new X-Wing canopy in the $40 Rock Roader set, 70589?
Hi, you might wish to fix the links leading to localhost :)
Definitely will be completing the Elves collection to the end of this year. Although some of the Architecture sets are tempting I have resisted to date. Just can't own everything. Ninjago I can see as very appealing but just not my thing for the most part. I did buy that amazing temple from last summer though.
yes. e.g. architecture link is still.

when are the "summer sets" due to be out?
Fixed the links!
^ These specific ones = August in North America, June in Europe.
Ha, ha. For 41180 Amazon says "not appropriate for children under the age of 34". Looks like I'm in the clear.
Anyone know the UK price of Buckingham and Capitol?
Elves looks great, Architecture looks excellent, and Ninjago looks amazing. Looks like it'll be an expensive summer for quite a lot of us... :)
^ They will probably be shown on LEGO.com around the end of May.
That 70593 set Green Dragon is amaizing, the way the wings are made is amaizing not to mention its face, if the price stays at $49.99 I am buying it.
Well, that's just added a bunch of Elves sets to my wishlist.
^^^ Yes we've had those images for a while: http://brickset.com/sets/theme-City/subtheme-Airport/year-2016
The elves sets look terrific, especially the Evil Castle of Evil.
Architecture looks... kind of boring. Neither of those buildings is all that interesting to begin with.
Those Ninjago sets though... they are AWESOME! Well, except the prison break... it's ugly, blocky, and doesn't really look like Kryptarium in the show.
Can't wait for Buckingham Palace. Other than that nothing really speaks to me from the sets mentioned in that article. Looking forward to the Creator ones and the City airport sets. (Rearranging my room means that I have space for a small airport on one of my shelves, yay!)
@HugeYellowBrick: I'm sure they meant "3". Otherwise there goes 97% of the buyers!
@ Huw: Yes, but still no official pictures of the actual airport set.
According to Amazon, BP is £40 and Capitol is £80.
Any idea where to get the duplo bags? my daughter would love them!
I think Buckingham Palace looks bloody awful. Take the London bus away and I bet many Brits would struggle to guess the building.
@balkris - the last few series of these Duplo animal polys have appeared in Belgium. If they do again this time I'll grab a few and offer them on the forum.
Interesting to see a better picture of the sticker placed on the orange tile/bow in the upper left leg of the Ronin Salvage MEC. It seems to show a few bumper stickers, and it's worth noting that one of them has Hikaru's symbol from Exo-Force.
i hope the back of buckingham palace is not like the louvre. which is just some tan 1x6x5 panels with zero detail.
