I heard that Lego can also shift capacity from one set to the other. So then Transylvania probably goes to 60k.

That makes a lot of sense; perhaps the BDP production slot increased from 150k to 180-200k (hence the vague statement on the website) and the allocation is demand-based….

Don't shoot the messenger...LOL.....I don't buy these like i used to but the balloon is a must have

I'm probably in the minority, but none of these really grab me like past series have. Happy to sit this round out and save some cash lol

I can’t see paying $400 for University of science with all of those generic minifigures and yet another $400 Castle.

actually in your hands in 2 years... but love the Train...like the balloon...School and castle are nice but will be too expensive IMO

A train, a castle, and a pirates-ish set.  I'm shocked.  

I'd like to like the University set, but I agree that it reads as just a bit generic all around. 

As others have said, happy to keep the cash.  Between the T-Rex skeleton, Krusty Burger, Neuschwanstein Castle, Arkham Asylum, Death Star and the Enterprise-D, this is already a more expensive year for me than usual.

Round 8 Not too special. I will gab a copy each of the castle, pirate and train to throw on the pile in the vault.
