Not too thrilled with the styling on the Pegasus, but the cave series - mammoths, sabre tooth cats lots of excellent stuff there I will have to have.
The new space theme looks ok, probably better in person than int he little pics.

The space/future-theme is really, really awful....but i love the stoneage-sets with all those nice new animals. Western and pirates are not my favourite themes but the new sets are looking very good, especially the hammerhead shark.

Wow! Thank you so much for posting the link  ;D So much there to be excited about! How long until you think the new sets will reach the US? I actually think the stone-age set will be fun. I wonder if the new princess castle will be better or worse than the current model?  :thanks:

HOORAAAHH... RUM FOR ALL!! :yippee: :yippee: :yippee:

I knew it! I knew it! The GOOD OLD "FRIGATE" 3940 (US 3286) is back!! :captain:
I had thought it might come back in new colours, and exactly this happens! (Like f.e. Cachalote I had dreamt about an English Navy trimaster, but being realistic I never expected that to realise)

Can't see the colours of the ship that good, but I think the hull is black and the deck probably brownyellowish or something with red stickers? The ridging is white again, like on the 80's/90's "galleon" (f.e. 3750) Ooff, back to the more realistic lined 3940 with it's dedicated gundeck and away with the 4290!
I notice a lot more cannons on the ship, not only below deck but also on the topdeck  itself...8-)
Crew has gotten smaller though, probably one had the walk the plank...

Some of the pirates look great, others a bit less... The Redcoats are fantastic! The small vessel is very nice (perhaps it's mast may be used to enlarge the big ship's masts?) and is clearly based on the small "gunship" of a year ago. (that one allways looked like it was meant for more, especially with it's semi-finished bow). The small fortress is nice too.
And allmost every set, except the cast-away one, includes at least 1 canon. So complementing the guns included in the "new 3940" (what's the set number?) with more canons becomes more achievable for the average (non-collector) buyer.

Fa(i)r(t)y)-tale theme on the other hand... a bit disappointing IMHO. No more big carriage (a small one instead) I notice. Only the dining-table set is quite nice and looks like a similar one from around 10 years ago...

Western again is nice, though take-along houses, it is better then nothing. The postal coach is back, that's COOL.  I've seen it before in those colours, when not mistaking in a limited exclusive German set some years ago ...

The future-electromagnetic-pulsedetonationengine-cyberwarfare-whatever-sets....are awfull!
Stone-Age, not particularly my field of interest, but I guess Scientology will buy all sets to "proof" their theories... ;D

Thanx for all the pics!!  :wow:

Thanks for the link! The prehistoric sets are fantastic, they're definitely a must-have for this year. The new pirates are great as well, and I have to get at least one pegasus. I'm not so thrilled about those e-rangers and darksters though, but there's already more cool stuff than my budget can handle.  ;)

Lots of things I like there  :yippee: :yippee: :yippee:
I love the prehistoric sets and the schooner, not keen on the western buildings but I like the stagecoach.
Pity the pegasus isn't released until August,  :'( I could have used them to make thestrals for my Hogwarts display.

What are those absolutely hideous monstrosities in the first and last pics! :o :o :o

The Western buildings appear to be carry alongs (which I'm not really a fan of) and I am not very happy to see the return of that stagecoach (I have gone a lot out of my way to get one of the originals from that exclusive set!) :P

The modern sets like the farm and the cars and buildings are just amazing :love: :love: :love:

Thank you very much for the link, Shirona! :thanks:

Yeah, I'm not really getting the first or last themes, either. I'm excited about almost everything else, though. I kind of like the new design of the princess castle. Just nice to see something different. It is VERY pink, though.  :no: The farm has some pieces I want for zoo exhibits, and one of the baseplates in that mammoth theme is AWESOME!!   :omg: The new harbor stuff is really cool, and the cafe is definitely going in my zoo.  :love: And the new pirates look very exciting. it's kind of funny, the colors for the pirate theme have improved, but they've gone to primary colors for the western stuff.  ??? I'm still happy to see western stuff, though! I hope it's a sign of things to come.

There is a press conference scheduled for tomorrow, hopefully we'll get some more pictures.

@hadoque, the new 3940 style ship has 4 crew just like the original if I'm not mistaken (minus the monkey).  One thing I hope is that some of these redcoats are carrying muskets, the musketoon is one of the things I HATE about the pirate theme.  ALso is that a "native" I see in the rowboat set? It looks like whoever is in the front is carrying a spear.

Finally, not crazy about the pirate special. Another peg leg and he offers nothing new.
