New LEGO Wednesday sets announced!

Just make it 75 and include a Enid minifig also.

Man, that crate-stack tower does not look secure.

76788 looks like part of Adam Maitland's attic diorama!

I don't know this show, but watching the Paw Patrol Dino movie today in Cinema with my 4-year old, I was wondering why there isn't any LEGO Paw Patrol.

Thus the spirit of the Addams Family was made!

Wednesday just don't go
Thursday goes too slow
I've got Friday on my mind

The same crate stacking was used on the Peter Pan Flight set 43232 a few years ago where a technic axle held them together.

This is great news. I want both sets!

No Enid minifigure, no buy.

I can’t figure out the right Brickset query to search and receive just those microscale buildings. Anyone know?

Yes. I too would like to see Hogwarts and Nevermore next to each other, maybe engage in a student-exchange project. I want to see what happens when Enid cheerfully introduces herself as a rainbow-coloured werewolf metaphor for everything J.K. Rowling publicly stands against. I'd be surprised if it doesn't end with Rowling exploding into a furious geyser of mouth-foam and blood-pressure, but I still want to see it happen."

I’m rooting for Team Enid.

$70 for 890 pieces…so they can make affordable sets.

But where is fun?

These look cute.

They're finally doing a minifigure. Proper Lego finally, unlike Minidolls (which are not for fans of Lego).

Don't know about the search query, but when searching for sets of some type I tend to use tags.

1. Think of a "type I like" set, in your case "microscale"
2. Check the tags
3. Click the tag
4. Enjoy the results

I love that this set has literal AND figurative teensy-weensy gates for you to keep. That's some small brick energy, my dude."

As long as it has proper minifigures then it's all good. Lego starting to see sense and reduce minidoll sets.

Why can't minidoll haters just accept that they aren't for them and move on."

Because sometimes people want the same thing, but with different style characters. Merida is the Disney Princess I want the most, and also the only Disney Princess who has never been produced in minifig form. Would you expect me to just throw hands in the air and walk away, or continue to hope they’ll finally round out the set?

@Hiratha said:
"If you can manage to keep it to “I want a minifig version because I don’t like minidolls” without heading in the direction of “if you like minidolls you aren’t a real fan” I doubt anyone’s talking about you."

I was one of many people who felt the Friends theme could have done just as well on the builds and color palette alone, and that the minidolls didn’t really add anything necessary. However, someone I know from Brickworld Chicago pointed out (when I mentioned this) that the people who were buying these sets for girls over a decade ago were the mothers and grandmothers who grew up with traditional dollhouses. In those cases, the minidolls probably helped seal the deal, where young girls didn’t seem to really be bothered by the different physiques as long as the characters were female (repeatedly, when I was palping CMF packets, girls and their mothers would wander up, and the girl would be vocal about wanting a _girl_, which I would always offer to assist with).

So I still hate the minidoll design, I still think they somewhat shot themselves in the foot for creating a largely incompatible, but seminary sized, character design, but I can’t prove that Friends could have succeeded without them. However, the only thing I really ever do with them is put one inside a shark inside of another shark. Ooh, speaking of which, I need to pack that for tomorrow…

Cute, but the Wednesday would need to be way in front to make the perspective believable.

I like how Wednesday is on a minifigure stand so it looks like she's a cmf and the Academy is the accessory.

76788 looks like the evil version of the mini Harry Potter set that was revealed the other day (40975).

I wish the academy was minifig scape rather than microscale. Guess I'll be waiting for a price reduction on this set. The purse is just weird.

Well, the Disney Mini Castles all run under the "Disney Mini Collection" tag, but the recent HP and Wednesday Castles are technically not in this line-up. Also, the Disney ones already have a subtheme so we can't put them all in the same subtheme either. I guess, a new tag should be created with "Mini Castles" and include also the GWP's and such.

You mean the backpack? Yeah, a little, but not really any more so than a flowerpot that opens up to reveal a room, which they’ve done several times across multiple IPs. Or books that do the same, for HP. Pretty sure there are other objects of that type that just aren’t coming to mind right now, as well.

There is nothing sexist with acknowledging the fact that minidolls aren't real Lego.

It's actually sexist to gatekeep proper Lego minifigures in sets aimed at males. Why do people think that girls don't deserve minifigures?

Thankfully the Olivia Rodrigo sets use minifigures, probably because Oliva is a proper Lego fan and knows that you don't do minidolls.

Dear lord the amount of stickers on the mini academy, not even the clocks are prints.

"$70 for 890 pieces…so they can make affordable sets. "

until you notice these so called 890 peices are mostly tiny 1x1 scale parts. ITs another case of the ppp ratio similar to the Arts sets making it look good on paper but the parts being tiny and nearly useless outside the set.

@Hiratha said:
" Friends was introduced in 2012. Minidolls are real Lego for real Lego fans. You don’t have to like them, you can argue for their removal, but continuing to say that they aren’t real Lego is silly and wrong."

True and best lego figures are galidor figures!

Unironically the onyl good thing about the minidolls were the new hair pieces. The minidolls were as bad as the b1 battledroids in terms of minifigures

Fair point. I stand corrected.

until you notice these so called 890 peices are mostly tiny 1x1 scale parts. ITs another case of the ppp ratio similar to the Arts sets making it look good on paper but the parts being tiny and nearly useless outside the set."

First, it’s not the size of the parts, but how you use them. Second, the volume of plastic is the least expensive item on getting a part to market. Most plastic costs a couple bucks per pound, which isn’t much.

"That is not how you spell galidor"

I try not to spell it at all, if I can avoid it. I also try not to remember that there’s a box in my condo with a complete set of the first wave of basic characters that they sent me for free, apparently expecting I’d review them on MaskofDestiny.com.

We have a tag for "microscale" (https://brickset.com/sets/tag-Microscale), but there are more than thirteen hundred sets with that tag, and since we don't also have a "building" tag, a query wouldn't seem to be doable. And "microscale" seems to be defined as "smaller than minifig scale" (11378, for instance, has the tag), which means that not even the buildings with that tag would necessarily work with something like that. So unless you just want to got through that long list manually, I'm afraid you're out of luck.
