Damn those cuties 76963 are so tempting but only the Pteranodon is really new.
Some more none predator dino´s would be nice.

Swipe.

Why does the character in the animal sanctuary have an axe? It doesn't seem to offer much sanctuary.

Both minecraft set are crazy good. Especialy for this price.

go geat natural history museum

You are wrong, only PTERANODON is not new.
All of the babies have new colors/prints.

Think depends smaller sets if i remember right have booklets

"I wonder how close the skull is to Technic figure scale? Scala dolls?"

Find which one fits best in its jaw!

Ugggg mario. We need the last koopa kid. Before you cancel the line.

Is Darious the JW2 character that I kept hoping would get eaten by every single dinosaur, regardless of whether or not they were carnivores?

About the only reason I am interested in the JJCC set is due to the baby dinos but, those can be bought elsewhere. The Sonic sets are cool but nothing a must as of now.

Edit: the JWCC set would have been better with a baby Brachiosaurus (Firecracker) and thr Spinosinoceratops.

Really like the fossil skull and the baby dinosaur battlepack.

That Trex skull is a winner, for me. I wonder how close the size is compared to the Trex Rampage model. They'd look pretty cool side by side...

PENGUINS!

I am more intrested in the build technique and scale for the sonc set. I want to see if there is a possibility I can convert it into a chopper for Ghost Rider

Fossil set looks like a decent "terrain" parts pack as well (when done displaying it)

BABY PINK SHEEP!!!

Also confused by the photos of the physical Mario instructions. Having digital only instructions have limited our interest in Mario sets.

Still getting that Penguin day one. Really hope scanning it will play the penguin cry from Mario 64

Really hope we get more Camp Cretaceous sets, as well as some more skulls to add to the collection

Shadow's Escape including a RhinoBot is a bit of a surprise. That particular enemy is from Sonic 3 and hasn't appeared in a Modern Sonic context before.

Definitely want to pick up the T-Rex skull.
Even though it's too stumpy, should be longer in the snout but overall with the display and footprint build, would look nice on the shelf.

Does anyone still buy the Mario sets? Feel like they are overdone. Still waiting on a proper minifig scale release...

“Mario sets just aren’t selling well anymore. Guess we should just drop the license altogether…”

The baby dinos battle pack wouldn’t be a bad set were it not for its very high price.

I get that it’s mostly because it’s a 4+ set but it doesn’t appear to contain any new moulds, so not warranted. I’ll wait for a hefty discount before I consider this one.

I think the t-rex set especially really shows how far the package model rendering is from a physical photo. Some of the discrepancy can be explained by the lighting. But the colours do seem way off, and the physical set looks so much less like what’s promised on the packaging. I like the set idea though!

Nice to have a baby Ankylosaurus that is close in colour to the adult Ankylosaurus we have.
Now can we please get some more colours for the adult, and a STEGOSAURUS!!!

That Pteranodon variant already appeared last year in 76943"

Damn my bad I seemed smaller like a kid

What about City, DREAMZzz, Monkie Kid, NinjaGo, Speed Champions, Star Wars, and Marvel?

I would gladly pay $10 bucks more to get a printed plaque with the T-rex skull

I'm with you. Minifigs are the only way I'm coming back.

Definitely getting the Baby Dinosaur Rescue Center.

What the hell is in that basket on the Rex lifestyle shot?! Is that a Gwyneth Paltrow Goop jade vagina egg??!! C'mon Lego there are children and sensitive adults looking at this stuff. Don't force your California hippie dippy wellness crap on us! ;)

Next to a wholesome ball of yarn. Gross!!

It’s not unusual for semiprecious stones to be cut and polished in the shape of eggs. The fact that Gwyneth Paltrow sells something that looks similar but is not a decorative item is incidental. Unprompted, I would have said that the egg is just a stone ornament. Maybe I’m just too innocent :~P

Yes. You definitely are.

We all were until Lego forced us to view their smut. ;)

Screw that, what about Technic?

@StyleCounselor:
I see a typical onyx egg (about 2.5” diameter), which has been available as a tourist trinket in the American southwest and northern Mexico for decades. It isn’t obvious, but it appears slightly lopsided, indicating that it’s probably hand-carved rather than machined. Next to it is a ball of green rubber bands, and on the other side is a ball of black twine or cord of some sort (possibly waxed, but definitely not yarn). There’s also a few other stones that have been polished, possibly through natural processes. The veining makes it hard to tell if the one in the center is spherical or lumpy. There isn’t enough of the green one showing to tell what shape it is. The spotted one (lower right) and dark grey one (upper left) are definitely not manufactured shapes.

I don't think I want to hear any more about those "natural processes," and I definitely don't want to discuss it's 'lumpiness'!

That T-Rex skull belongs in a museum... The Modular Museum! :-)

"Hey guys! I found shadow!"

Well, he is avenging Mario in terms of having an actual minifig...

On that note, as a wise Peter Knetter once said: "He needs a gun. Can someone please put a gun there?"

I find it interesting that 76995 only contains one character. This could mean that we will get two single character sets for the others in a similar price range, but since I can't really think of a small build that would work well for rouge, my prediction is that we will get a slightly larger Angel Island set, with both knuckles and rouge, rouge making it a combat-in-a-box-deal with an attempted master emerald heist...

These "lifestyle" pictures are even more ridiculous than the ones for the 18+, sorry, I mean "Icons" sets. I can remember a single point in my childhood where I calmly built a Lego set and then looked at it introspectively next to a basket of yarn and eggs.

It's "NinjaGo" with a 1 capital N and a capital @PurpleDave.

I Doubt it that, because "Technic" never had their very own cartoon series like the others.

I have no idea about Angel Island, but Knuckles and Rouge will be appearing in a $30 set together.

I dunno. Kind of makes me want to Go get some Ninja.

@VBaskin:
The LEGO Group styles it as”NINJAGO®”. AFOLs write it as “Ninjago”. You’re the only person I’ve seen capitalize the N and G, but nothing else.

This is not a joke @StyleCounselor the word "NinjaGo" comes from both of the words "Ninja" and "Go", hence the combine name "NinjaGo".

What exactly are the Lego photographers doing down in the concrete bunker of love....

........ and, how do I get invited?

@VBaskin:
Can you point to any other single source that capitalizes the G, but not the entire word? Portmanteaus don’t generally involve capitalizing the first letter of each component word (many don’t require any capitalization at all). I’m pretty sure I’ve run across a few, but I couldn’t cite them for you right now. Nobody writes “BiOnicle” or “BioNicle”, and TLG again styles it in all-caps with the “®” symbol afterwards.
