I'm going to let TOK start the Creator 2015 thread, and do all his magic there.  But wanted to get this out there.

 

The Brick Fan posted the first rumored Creator 2015 sets.  They include:

 

Blue Racer

Sea Plane

Cargo Helicopter

Red Go-Kart

Vehicle Transporter

Beach Hut

Toy & Grocery Shop

 

The Toy & Grocery Shop sounds similar to this year's Bike Shop & Cafe.  To me, that's awesome.  I like the idea of smaller buildings, lower cost entry point, multiple designs, and filling a niche that's missing in the city theme.

 

I bought two of the Bike Shop & Cafes, because I like two of the three designs a lot.  They're much smaller, so easier to display within my Winter Village and Halloween Town displays.  I wanted a City Hall, but compared to the rest of the buildings in my display, City Hall would just dwarf them.  I like this much better.

Just built first model of 31038, really enjoyed the building technique around the roof window area and set looks nice.  I don't have the mountain hut or beach house sets (yet) so I took a photo next to Toy & Grocery store for size comparison.  I actually think the Pencil Pot set would look really cool next to this house but mine is at work so cannot photo today.

Here is a Eurobricks review on 31031 Rainforest Animals.

Quick question about time line for the larger Creator sets.

After reviewing availability for the larger Creator sets on Bricklink they seem to have a life span of about 1 year. (with some exceptions) Anyone have an idea how long the Mixer or Ferris Wheel will stick around? I anticipate the Mixer retiring this December and the Ferris Wheel in Dec 2016.

thoughts?

I would think Mixer would go summer 2016 & Ferris Wheel 2 years after life...

wow. That's quite a statement to say that the Ferris Wheel will go into the "After Life"

LOL! I meant after release. Of course with iPhone, I could've typed release & it coulda changed it to whatever random word it felt like...

Would be fantastic if the agency was on the second floor, with a speakeasy/bar on the 1st, but I'm sure they won't do that.

I think you're right with the agency being on the second floor as for what may be on the first is anyone's guess. A barber shoppe perhaps.

So spill the beans on the 2016 set since you clearly both knew something! : )

....Okay, now that sort of accuracy from such a random 'guesstimate' is just creepy.

Haha that is great. If you guess enough on the internet you'll eventually be right. :-)

Here is a 'modularization' of the 31036 Toy & Grocery Shop.

Looks like a GoBot. Ok, who wants to date themselves and admit they had GoBots?
