Icon Prediction

I have a feeling that the next icon set to be released after Shanghai Shaolin, is going to be in the Marseilles collection. My feeling is based on a slight amount of evidence. I wonder what I could win if I'm right? :D

well, looks like you got it right.

Whoa, you're psychic!

Wow... by just a few minutes.

I got goosey bumps on the real man. Have you considered lending your powers to help your local police solve crimes, this could be big, maybe even a tv deal will surface.

LOL I wish that were possible. I used hard facts & data to guess that one. Prior to the listing on the Free Delivery page the set breakdown was as such for available sets:

10 - Manhattan
3 - Marseilles
6 - Tower Grove
7 - Shanghai
4 - Oslo
7 - Alexandria

And since they have 10 Sets badges for each of those, I figured they had to get us there at some point. That being the case, Marseilles was the best guess.

However, if I were to hazard another guess against the 5 that fall below 10, it would have to be:
Tower Grove

However, I just realized that they have 7 Taipei sets, yet there hasn't been any indication of the badge to be earned for 10 of them. Hmmm.

Ok Ben, this is just getting a little scarey. But perhaps it could be a new game? See how many sets Ben can predict - so what's next on the list!?

Well, my next prediction is still Tower Grove. Let's see what next week brings.

Well, I didn't think they would release the same family of set in quick succession. I had done my prediction based on the age of the previous sets. Meaning, the Tower Grove family had the oldest delivery of the other families, so I figured it would be next. I guess that means that it's possible that Oslo could be next then as well.

So much for my theory, but sometimes it's good to be wrong! :D

These chefs… and their accurate throws of the monkey wrench.

LOL How very true!
