That small one looks tempting, depending on the price...
Blathers's Museum is absolute delight, it was just matter of time
Snails! Pears!
Amazing stuff. Please notice the Museum hinges open to "expand it" like in game
pear AND snail ARE AMAZING
I want some of these parts. Like the pear and snail! Yes! Would be nice to have the orange leaves and that butterfly, too!
By having the shell be a separate piece, LEGO brilliantly made themselves a part that can be snail *or* slug! I'm not convinced by the swirly piece as a shell, though. Maybe a 1x1 round-top brick with a swirl printed on the sides would look better and match the snails in the games more.
The theme is still doing alright, which is great.
@TheBrickPal, to fix: the title for 77058 (the third set) uses the text / link for 77057.

Fixed, thanks!
Definitely want to build that Triceratops skeleton, since it's my favorite dinosaur. I also think I could use Blathers' head for a Rishii Jedi
Loving the customisation options for the houses, and the snail. But the front of the museum box really sells the set short.
Blathers! Finally, a curator for my museum!
This theme continues to deliver weight loss for my wallet.
Also pleased to see they’re using more of the new flower parts, which seem made for AC.
Actually furious that after waiting since day 1 of Lego Animal Crossing for Blathers they give us this monstrosity with Celeste's head sculpt.
Not to sure about the creative houses set. I like Fang, but i never liked the other two characters. Plus one house is too pink for my liking. I do like the small seasonal builds.
Goldie will be picked up.
And the museum isn’t great, but much cooler than the main picture on the front of the box is letting you believe. Will pick up eventually of course. If Brewster was there with it, it was a first day buy for me.
I've beeing buying all animal crossing sets day 1 and these will be no exception. They look awesome, especially the figures. The museum also really looks very good (the interior) which I was quite worried.
More wolf! Still no Whitney, though.
I see Fang, and previously we had Audie
My only wish for this theme's run is that we get Freya... That's the only thing I am praying for here. She would use the wolf head mold here, they're so close.
The museum looks fantastic !

I'd say something like 20€ because of the new molds
Blathers Museum is soo good!
Love the fact that Lego made it optional for fans to add their own season to their display. Snowboy lets go!! ??
The snail / slug mold is beautiful ToT... I hope it survived many years, themes, and recolours.
This may be the closest Rock Raiders fans will get to a real Slimey Slug element so I'll cherish it.
Oooh, new pear and snail body moulds, as well as a more round printed snowman head...nice!

They have same heads in game as well, Blathers is just slightly bigger.
Oh wow official LEGO snails!
I wonder if KC will be excited for these.
FINALLY BLATHERS!
What fantastic additions.
Characters I'd love to see Minifigures of: Brewster, Pete, Redd, Bill, Joey, Nate, Poncho, Rocco, Bertha, Roscoe, Gwen, Roald, Whitney, Kyle.
The new sets look great! I'm glad that in addition to the museum we're getting some more regular houses, since the past two waves haven't had any. Getting more colors of the new windows/doors will hopefully help not just these houses but potential MOCs of other characters' houses. The hinged design of the museum is clever too—closing it allows for a more compact look similar to the un-upgraded museum from the games, while opening it adds the banners from the expanded version. And the ability to "stack" the houses from the large set, while not really accurate to the games, is a clever bit of playability/customization.
The new pear piece is great, combining the appearance of classic fruits like the apple with expanded connectivity (the anti-stud on the bottom should make it much easier to connect to things). The snail is cute too, though I'm a bit surprised they're sticking to mainly molded insects since I would've expected the printed ladybug, bee, and beetle from the Friends theme (among others) to be used for things like the insect exhibit in the museum!
Goldie and Stitches, my beloved!
Yay, another round of modern Fabuland! ??
The chunkiest skeleton.
Still holding out hope for a Hornsby minifig...
