Same. It's Unforgivable & lazy. Especially at these inflated prices & there's not even licences required to make these sets. A real money grab by LEGO but they pass it off as fan service.
Between castle & pirates, the latter fanbase is massive as whenever bricklink releases a set dedicated to one. Castle always sell out in less then a hour, while pirates last set didnt even reach the halfway point. Their excuse this time was that too many people voted for castle factions sets so they vetoed it. Then atleast releases them on rebrickable.
I am SHOCKED that Thieves of Tortuga made the cut, but I am overjoyed that it did!!!! It was by far my favorite of all the submissions, even over the ship models. As someone who has always dreamed of owning a Lego pirate ship but has never obtained one, that says a LOT about how great that model is! It's the perfect port. It looks straight out of PotC or AC:BF. No surprise that Dracula's castle made the cut. I would have been shocked if it didn't. The hype around that set was insane. Tortuga takes precedent for me, but if I can swing both I'll get the castle too!
The mushroom village and antique shop are on my list. Maybe the popcorn wagon depending on its price. And whllst I like the look of the castle and the pirate set; both of them aren't for me.
River knights watchtower, how I have longed for you and your watery delights, where are you??? Don’t leave me like this, You shall forever be in my dreams…… (But seriously, my kids really wanted it , I even reloaded the results page 3 times to check there wasn’t a missing castles section!)
Fact that the Mushroom village is a follow up on the house will also increase the house price set even more. I do hope it won't get too high since I would love to get my hands on the house as well!
Instead of that Popcorn Wagon I was really hoping that small set is gonna be one of the Viking ships, they were both around 500 pieces and they were great!
I paused a bunch at the opening shots to see them all and I have to say I dont understand how a popcorn stand snuffs the frickin steampunk airship or woodland sanctuary. also very ifify on how i feel about the mushroom set.
I mean, there were so many cool models. Really hoping for that pirate restaurant, at the very least, but given the new rules I guess it makes sense. Glad some are excited though!
The Transylvania I could see it be made for the D&D series to be The Vampire (Strod) to be his Castle. The Pirate could also just be made as a Pirate's of the Carabeian set. (with just swapping the character's)
@@paschalisantoniou974 agreed…. When you think pirates you think of bearded bandits on battle ships. Can’t believe it lost to the pirate city which has an open back doll house concept
@@paschalisantoniou974 it will get at 18 month shelf life like barracuda bay. I know its short but I won't mind too much as long as they replace it with another pirate themed set. Thieves of tortuga looks fantastic in my opinion but I really want a big imperial ship.
It's believed that the reason the Fortuna (ship) didn't make it was because Lego has plans to release the "Endurance" (another ship) in the near future. The Pirate city shouldn't have been selected either because it was at the 4K piece count making it in the same race as Transylvania. However, I'm assuming that Brinklink let that one slide because they felt it would encourage the future owners to also purchase the "Endurance"
lego upset that the modular mocs are significantky better designed than the Icons ones, very disappoint that none of them will get a shoot at being produced glad we got the construction site and Vanacian houses. Really wanted the modular art center/factory and the modular hardware store & apartment reno. hopefully the lackluster sales motivates lego to produce the sets most in demand...
Everything but the Antiques Shop for me. So happy with the Transylvanian Mansion. And the pirate set is now sooooo much better than the Series 2 one. Glad I didn't get that one
I remember there was one wolf pack set that was submitted on this series which was taken out on second day of voting period. If I'm not mistaken, it was discussed in another RUclips channel that it was taken out because that design was accepted on Lego Ideas program and probably are planned for production. So that probably one of the reason there were no castle set chosen for this series despite the popularity, cmiiw.
Just subbed not too long ago, love the channel! And the Transylvania castle is a must buy for me. I recently got into the BL program, but I wanted to ask if anyone knows, when a set doesn't "sell out" does it mean it's still available for purchase? No right? I ask because I can't find a way to purchase any sets that haven't sold out and it wasn't clear to me (or I didn't look into it enough) that you weren't able to buy them.
Thanks for subbing. No you can’t buy them even if not sold out once the time limit ends. Unless it’s on the secondary market but that will of course cost more
This beautiful castle reminds me of the Monster Fighters Vampire House (or whatever it was called) from around 2014, which came with a full range of monster minifigs in the related minifigure series. I display it alongside my (complete) series of modular buildings. It's such a beautiful set - the best dilapidated house Lego has delivered and it too opens like a doll's house to show one of the cookiest interiors. Q: how does a vampire sleep? A: on bed boards. (I thought, wrongly, apparently, that they slept in coffins).
From the sound of things, the Transylvania set will sell out faster than Barad Dur in just a few minutes. I will be poised online the second it goes up! Good luck everybody else!
Again good looking but probably overpriced sets. I,am not a fan of this program. It is a chase item. And lego was never a "chase" kind of collecting for me. And another proof they want lego to be a more high end collectors item and not us regular afols with a normal non high paying job. It is getting hard for most of us.
Transylvania castle and Pirates one are MUST. Great for display and 2 of the sets I was hoping for the most in that series. Popcorn wagon is also nice but it's not my priority, so depends how they price it.
I really don't understand the hype for the popcorn car. It's very simple and honestly lacks creativity, especially when compared to a few other sets. I just feel like there were much better contenders for a low-priced set.
Adventure in Transylvania: No surprise here. Will be ordering two. The Thieves of Tortuga: A bit shock considering it was supposed to be in direct competition with Transylvania and Privateer Frigate Fortuna (ship) at 4K pieces. Even as a pirate fan, I felt the Fortuna should have been chosen over the Tortuga. We've had port winners before but never a ship. I can't understand how any pirate fans could possibly choose this over a battle ship that we have engraved in our heads when we think of pirates. Mushroom Village: Not a fan but I understand an applaud the designer's audacity. Popcorn Wagon: This is the one that I really don't get. It's nice for what it is but I felt that this spot could have been reserved for a more complex build.
I have on the shelf 6 Pirates ships, 2 Ninjago and no pirate town. Additionally, Tortuga's target group are Afol's, i.e. exactly those to whom the Bricklink program is addressed. An ordinary ship may be sold more widely, but it will not look like the Privateer Frigate Fortuna. Do you really think anyone at LEGO cares?
I gotta say Bricklink's guidelines for Series 6 seem a little tone deaf. Why is fishing exempt from the animal harm stipulation? Overfishing is one of the biggest threats to our ocean today. And avoiding depictions of circuses I get, but zoos and aquariums? Accredited zoological facilities are instrumental in wildlife conservation today. There are species that would be extinct right now if it weren't for captive breeding programs that repopulated them; the American bison is a star example of this. And avoiding highlighting fossil fuels? In a brand built largely on fossil fuels (natural gas and petroleum specifically)? So would a model depicting a LEGO-type brick factory technically be disallowed? Let that irony sink in. Also, has Bricklink seen the lithium mines that support "sustainable" power sources? It seems like Bricklink is making unnecessary and counterintuitive political statements at the expense of some potentially interesting submission ideas. I'm sure a lot of people would love an aquarium modular for their LEGO city layouts. I know a lot of this is probably coming from LEGO themselves so I'm not placing the blame entirely on Bricklink, I imagine LEGO Ideas has similar guidelines.
This is by far the best top 5 finalist of all series, just when we thought 2 4000 pieces couldnt make it at the same time they release both of them Thieves of tortuga was my number 1, but i was ready to not see it in the final because of transylvania and the Old skull (but this one was knock out for being a modular a think), i never ever thought this set gonna stand a chance because how bad the pirate set from serie 2 did, it is gonna be my 1st choice but i will go for transylvania first because it will be gone in the next 3 hours so i got to get 1 maximun priority, this set is brilliant for display and for playability and that is what make it so versatile and probably the reason because it was selected, but i doubt it will sold out for being inside the category of Pirate, wich it is fun but not as developed as medieval. Mushroom village, i am a bit new into this about bricklink and by the time the mushroom house was released i couldnt purchase anymore, now people sell it in ebay for 160£ and i understand the hype for the village wich expand in this fantasy and i love it, i think it will be sold out but not as fast as the castle. Antique shop is great, and i did not expected to see it, in fact i didnt recognise it from the 300 options... but it is a lovely set aswell... however, i dont think it will sold out well even so it will pass the 3000 for sure. adventures in transylvania is iconic and spacious enough for playability, , it is just a set wich fit very well in a halloween decorative environment but i dont know, it is gonna be hella expensive, still it will sell well for its originallity, wich i do believe is one of the best bricklink designs ever done, is gonna be gone in 3 hours. popcorn, i had my suspicious that it will be selected and it was, 2 sets are 4000, the other 2 are around 2000, so ofc 1 set needed to be cheap for people to be able to get something more cheap and memorable, also this set has sinergy witch modulars and, for example, with the antique shop for example. some people was talking about a viking ship wich i saw it and yes it was lovelym but i think i read somewhere that the design will be taken down by lego for portfolio bla bla bla reasons. and amazing serie, one of the strongest so far, even better than serie 1.
The Transylvania Castle and the Pirate City for me. I just have to have them!
Im not a huge lego buff but transylvania castle is a day1 purchase for me
@@44magdeagle Might sell out in 10 minutes.
The Lego "Thieves of Tortugo" set reminds me of the Lego Viking Village.
I hate that these sets do not have a paper manual.
Is that true? So pdf instructions only?
@@michaelemond7315 Correct no Paper Manuals all are downloadable PDFs only.

That's unfortunate. I definitely prefer paper instructions.
I can live with that. You only build it once.
The Dracula’s castle = my future Batlord’s HQ!

well to be fair last pirates set wasnt a pirate ship!!!!! i mean they don't sell Ninjago without ninjas
Mushroom Village and Transylvania!! Amazing. I like the popcorn too. This will be more stress for crowdfunding!!
Wish we'd get some smaller more affordable castle sets making the cut
These bricklink designer sets shouldn't be allowed to resell on bricklink. Scalpers are getting absolutely ridiculous.
Order the parts from Webrick. Build your own if you don't get an original. I'm doing that with Studgate Station.

Love the Transylvania castle. Inspiring my mash up submission. Train-sylvania car-stle… a Transylvania castle…but on wheels!
That's adorable. I can't wait to see it.
The mushroom village and antique shop are on my list. Maybe the popcorn wagon depending on its price.
And whllst I like the look of the castle and the pirate set; both of them aren't for me.
I am SO disappointed by the fact that no wolfpack set made it. Some were amazing
I am technically making a wolfpack themed set next submission
There we so many wonderful choices, I love the variety of theme and size of these final fine.
4 great choices for me, and 1 I find a little questionable
River knights watchtower, how I have longed for you and your watery delights, where are you??? Don’t leave me like this, You shall forever be in my dreams……
(But seriously, my kids really wanted it , I even reloaded the results page 3 times to check there wasn’t a missing castles section!)

Can't wait for this wave. *chefs kiss*

Happy that the Transylvania castle made it, it will fit in nicely with my monster fighter sets!
Yeah that’s a great thought 👍
Great coverage as always. None for me, though the pirate town looks really tempting!
Oooo, that pirate village and Dracula castle are SO good. Amazing designs.
Agreed
I will go for the mushroom village, have ordered the house, so great explanation for it. Can’t wait till it’s June 😊
I will be buying Dracula, popcorn and antique shop
The new rule regarding base plate size and compatibility could kill some great designs
I mean, there were so many cool models. Really hoping for that pirate restaurant, at the very least, but given the new rules I guess it makes sense. Glad some are excited though!

Draculas castle is just completely on a different level. No debate. Might be the best lego moc in some time.
Agreed
My number one choice is Transylvania and my second is Pirate city. The Transylvania is the best amongst all the series thus far in my opinion.
I need that gothic castle for the CMF Batlord!
Good call
I just keep hoping somewhere in the "Lego creative universe" they get the finger out and give us a Knight Rider and A-Team build
I don't know what to buy. I consider Tortuga or Transylvania. What would you pick if you were me?
The Antique Shop looks like it can be modularized. I would be very interested in it if it can be easily added to a LEGO modular city.
Pretty bummed about not getting the 'Fortuna' set, I feel we have too many ports and buildings with not enough good realistic ships.

Typical Lego style - greedy and low quality

How do I learn about Crowdfunding? Got to have the Transylvania Castle!
Everything but the Antiques Shop for me. So happy with the Transylvanian Mansion. And the pirate set is now sooooo much better than the Series 2 one. Glad I didn't get that one
I am going to hopefully be one of the crowdfunders for that transelvania castle
I'm so happy we get that Tortuga set. And my wallet is happy that I don't want the castle in this series
I wanted the Mushroom 🍄 set so bad so excited it got approved!! I missed the Mushroom set from S1 sonsuper happy
I love the Transylvania castle and the popcorn wagon.
Carmilla of Styria approves of this outcome.
That castle is a thing of beauty.
Indeed
The Transylvanian Castle set really gives Batlord vibes.
Hi
I'm making a 4000 brick castle for the next submission, let's see if it gets picked
Adventure in Transylvania! I'm so excited that it made the cuts! I also expect it to sell out. So GOOD!
Awesome set 👍
The castle is stunning.
Absolutely
I find it odd that a company that sells plastic is saying they don't want to support fossil fuels.
Is LEGO ever going to develop a game where all you do is build legos? I've been waiting.
Do you mean like Lego Fortnite?
I do need to get that Transylvania set.
