The dragon head would need a completely new mold. Also the big "whisker" seems to be made from 23443 and some (for me) new part. there is lot of chrome gold and not sure which green color should be the bricks.
It looks like matching the size of the one in trailer.
And the teased box of 70612 shows 544 pieces.
All in all, the pic of that specific dragon is most probably just movie prop
But if those new molds get to the smaller one and if Chrome Bricks plan to cash on the market, it should be possible to replicate it.

They might need a specialized headpiece, but it's not like Ninjago hasn't done custom heads before. I'd also assume that a physical toy dragon would have pearl gold instead of chrome. And it could be like Sea Cow where the toy is much smaller than the in-movie build.

They're still stealing the molds and the licenses but hey, not stealing the designs is a good start, China! /s
Actually these guys were reporting sand green color and new dragon head piece seen at super secret NY Toy Fair preview

Article was updated and several fonts are reporting that Xingbao is just a sub brand of Lepin, they are owned by the same company.
Looks like blackmail of MOC creators to me. Accept our offer or we will clone your model anyway. And your name will be associated with Lego greatest enemy.

Star Wars sets are Buy One Get One 40% at Target
I browsed a bit but the ones already on sale are excluded. Not sure if that's the same for City and Friends which are also on sale.

Weird that they held it as a surprise, but it is a cool fig. Not cool enough to hide, but... I want it.

Looks simple but elegant, i like it.
Except that that empty hole on top of the hat is bothering me for some reason...

Speaking of Lego Worlds, I got a promo set from it. It's not an official Lego product, it's made by a Lego Certified Professional.

So i've just finished the Queen Dragon... Truly the greatest of them all It really is HUGE compared to the others, and those wings are amazing! It's still pretty poseable though...
As of now, it is the new centerpiece for my Dragon shelf, which still needs to be expanded ( i still have Jay's Elemental Dragon in my backlog and Smaug is sitting atop Orthanc or else it'd fit in nicely there) Hoping for some new awesome dragons from the Ninjago movie line now.
Also: i know that the Chima Phoenix isn't technically a dragon but it just looks so awesome there so i had to throw it in

So weird. Nice fig but seeing as though they are all mystery bags, I don't see the point of hiding it.

Yes, the Queen Dragon is awesome! The new neon yellow is a bit weird and I'm not sure about the Umbra Dragon that we get in summer, but I'm glad we get more dragons. Everyone should have at least one of each size class.

Perhaps it's a homage to the lyrics:Series 17 Highwayman revealed:

I'm the dandy highwayman who you're too scared to mention
I spend my cash on looking flash and grabbing your attention

So a couple weeks ago my dad suffered a minor heart attack, and had triple bypass surgery on his heart. He's pretty much confined to the house for the next six weeks to recover, so my siblings and I pitched in and bought him the Slave I and Falcon sets to give him something to do when he gets bored of Diablo 3. After his first week of recovery he's doing very well and the doctors are very impressed with his progress. I think it's the Lego.

Lego is definitely therapeutic!

A bit late for April Fools joke. Can't wait to see the real reveal.

Good to see that dragon getting more love. I do understand it's probably a but too much on the huggable and pretty side for many here, but aside from that it is a great looking dragon and was an enjoyable build with nice techniques.

that figure is sick but i'm definitely confused by the secrecy as well.

http://lmgtfy.com/?q=custom+precut+sticker+sheet
I imagine it would be a bit costly, but seems they have laser cutting now so that should be a lot cheaper than making custom metal cutting shapes.
First site I clicked on.
https://www.stickergiant.com/sticker-sheets
Please comment in this thread if you make a custom sheet and are happy with the results and price. And which site you used. Thanks!
EDIT: Read a bit more and as expected there probably will be a minimum quantity for most if not all printers. Site above has minimum of 250 stickers per design.
Best bet for one or two custom stickers may be to print it out and cut it yourself with precision craft cutting knives.

Good for your dad hope he continues to get better. And yes its always the magical healing power of Lego that mends bodies and drains wallets.

Good to hear he's doing well after that.
LEGO would be much better as a recovery tool than video games. All the exertion used to search for the next part needed or searching for a piece that fell on the floor and magically transported meters away would be nice physical therapy.
Can't put a price on health (unlimited LEGO budget). LEGO should commission a study on LEGO and the therapeutic benefits.

I tried looking this up but can't find anyone that does non-commercial orders. I had FedEx Office print out the decals using a clear sticker sheet but they only look good on white bricks. The decals look like trash on any colored bricks. :/

After about a year sitting on my floor, Ferris Wheel is now repackaged. I managed to do it mostly without taking it apart. I removed the railings and vegetation from the base, disconnected the supporting beams and lifted down the wheel. Then I removed all the gondolas, disconnected the outer white part and folded it up, and took off the sub assemblies of the spokes.
It's not going up yet for some time, but the day I get a bigger room to make a proper city display, I'm going to set it up somewhere. It's such an eye catcher and a great figure display, but it just doesn't fit on the street I currently have on shelves.

Same here, i am planning to fit it into my modular city some day....but alas, who knows if that day shall ever come to pass
damn backlog and less time than EVER before in my life for Lego, hobbies in general etc.
Transporting the Ferris Wheel to events is a PITA, takes as much space as 2 modulars. Even if you disassemble it to wheel, supports and base (picked clean of small stuff). And that wheel itself tends to drop parts on bumpy roads (still better than the mistake of trying to transport the GB HQ in one piece).

I really like that 'mystery' figure but I'm another that's confused by it, the silhouette was on the leaflets for the batman minifigs so I initially thought it was tied in to that line. In the end it's nothing more special (nor limited) than the rest of the series.
Went to the Leicester Square Lego store today for the first time, had to queue (only 10 mins max) to get in, nice enough store with some nice displays but nothing that you don't see elsewhere.
After seeing the Pirate ship I want it - didn't realise how big those zombie sharks were

I wonder if there was some legal issue with him resembling the hunter from Bloodborne that TLG was clearing up so they couldn't show him. It's cool we have at least 2 video game minifigs with the hunter and Sam Fisher.

When are the new CMF's dropping?
Gonna be on the lookout for Corn Man, Rocket Boy, and Bloodborne Hunter.
Gonna be on the lookout for Corn Man, Rocket Boy, and Bloodborne Hunter.
Officially May 1. Most likely start trickling onto shelves in the next few weeks.
So I just started with bags 2. Not the optimal table for this build I find out.
It is by far my biggest set. Penguin's Arctic Roller is more my kind of size. Or the new Lego movie batmobile (must have).
Most of my bigger sets (and a TV I don't use). The rest is still at my parents house.

Got a ticket to enter the LEGO booth at Celebration. I'm the third group in so hopefully with them limiting the exclusive I'll be able to buy it.

Good for you! Plan on opening? If so, can you post an image the parts list from the last page of the manual?

It's still very possible, but obviously not a brick-by-brick replica. The Sea Cow (especially the Sea Cow) and Contruction Mech from The LEGO Movie were toned down from the movie versions. Question is if the dragon is adapted for a set, will it still be cool.
A new article about us. I guess?

Some odd phrasing going on "no longer just for children", sounds strange to me, I'm pretty sure this is nothing new.

Sounds slightly condescending and out of touch. Even if you disregard Technic, there has been huge sets targeted specifically at adults for a decade now. And then they can't find anyone to interview except some guy who has his childhood Lego in a box, and buys a new big set every now and then.
I mean, watch one of the many documentaries, like The Secret World of Lego, as research, at least.

Even the biggest Technic sets are only 11-16, officially only for little kids!

Holy cow. I'd buy that in an instant. Love how they are individual zords as well.

Really kinda wish LEGO would sell the UCS Snowspeeder early at their Celebration booth. Would be a cool early get.
