A new idea,that came through my mind is a haunted mansion!I want a Haunted Mansion with Victorian look an probably old System connection.I want this mansion to include in the same set some furniture,for example a dining table with chairs,a clock,a furniture like bookcase,a sofa,an armchair,a parent's bedroom,a small kitchen and a bathroom.The wallpapers need to be convertible,for example to include normal wallpapers, and wallpapers with dust,painted webs and spiders.And the figures to have reversible heads,with the option of normal face and vampire face.All this one,in the price o 100-120 euros,would be a very good set!!!!

Considering that quite a few themes are going to be discontinued including cavemen and dragon knights, I am guessing we can expect some sort of historic/fantasy theme with soldiers and such to appear in 2013-2014.

A return of Romans or the fairytale theme would be nice. In the 90's there was a wonderfull fairytale theme with wizards, gnomes, magical trees, unicorns, etc. I really liked that theme. It gave magical things, but also a good mix of knights, royalty and other "normal" clickies that would be great in either a fairytale or the medieval period.

If they do, could they stop printing 'tribal' designs on the klickies? They remind me of cheap tattoos and naff decals on Ford Escort windscreens.

I'm hoping for one of those themes too! :)

I am predicting an updated (RC on plastic track style) Western Train and a DS release of the Colorado Springs station... Western Theme is going to sell like hot-cakes and will be expanded accordingly.

We should also be seeing some Middle Ages peasant-type sets... Look for a mill (whether it is a windmill or watermill I don't know), a generic house, a plow with a yoke of oxen, and a blacksmith. All buildings will be thatched roofs...

There will absolutely be an expansion of Future Planet. Space laboratory/telescope with ceiling hook (yeah it will be cool) and a barracks type building that most of us will use as a house in our space colonies.

The "History" Theme will see a new set of characters from Asia, we will get Chinese and Japanese sets in the same Theme much like we got 2 kinds of cavemen in the Stone-age line. There will be a Chinese palace and Japanese Castle. A fishing ship based on the Egyptian barge but with oriental sails and a cabin. A jade dragon "garden" will also be featured with the Chinese Empress and attendants (like the Sphinx set but with a Jade dragon on a Green base-plate)

City Life will see a reintroduction of some playground equipment but not much beyond that this year, perhaps a Full eat in restaurant to go with the Hotel theme though.

Production issues may delay at least for another year the characters from Greek mythology like the Minotaur and Medusa, but they will be along for 2014 as the History Theme expands to History and Myth to make it more exciting for the children (this line will also have Dwarfs and a Giant... though only 2-3 times normal klicky size)

Finally the princess castle line will expand slightly with a freestanding Rapunzel tower that can be attached to the Castle or stand alone.

If I am right I am going to be poor indeed  ;D but OH SO HAPPY  ;)

Man, if all that comes true I'd be in Playmoheaven.

I'm (mostly) only buying new themes that interest me now, having a ton of everything in the traditional lines (knights, western, police etc), but a combined Japanese/Chinese theme I'd have to get in its entirety.

If that were to come out, I reckon it'd be one of the coolest sets yet, assuming that the tower isn't pink or purple. If it resembled the tower in the film Tangled, maybe with a bit more stone at the top - then it'd be the coolest set ever! :)

If it can be attached to the princess castle, there won't be much hope for the colour  ;D

If it was steck's or even system X I could care less about the color as there is always paint to solve that problem. A harder problem to deal with is if it would be made like the lighthouse where you have to cut it all up just to customize it or adapt it to other sets

The saddest part about the lighthouse is that it would have been really easy for them to make the tower cylinder infinitely attachable...  >:(
