    Who's Your Favorite Film Composer and/or Score?

    Oh man, I totally agree! That scene in the movie was pure magic, aided in no small part by the soundtrack. Terrific work!

    LEGO Elves 2018

    Very excited for that new Treehouse! I too missed the last few big "good" sets (the old Treehouse and Skyra's castle) so I am very much looking forward to this.

    Who's Your Favorite Film Composer and/or Score?

    Both movies were good in my view, but neither would really hit my favourites list. But it just goes to show the strength of the soundtracks. I still listen to HTTYD 2 often and only vaguely connect it to the movie’s scenes now. ”Test Drive” is probably one of those tracks that I would consider my historical classics. One of the best themes composed. Have a listen also to “Battling the Green Death” and “Coming Back Around”. Powell does fantastic battle music. I’d even dare say HTTYD 2 improves upon the original soundtrack, which was already amazing. For starters, there is “Flying With Mother”, but there are so many gems there! I mean, “Dragon Racing”, the first track, effectively acts as a recap of the first film’s soundtrack and themes, showing how much Powell cares about leitmotifs to a John Williams level.

    Who's Your Favorite Film Composer and/or Score?

    Hey this is a topic I love! A bit late, but hopefully you won't mind me adding to the conversation. You guys have already covered a lot of my favourites. John Williams, Michael Giacchino, Howard Shore, James Horner, etc. I am particularly happy to see John Powell (How to Train Your Dragon) get mentioned too by @Umbra-Manis and @rodiziorobs, indeed I consider How to Train Your Dragon 2 to be among the best soundtracks in history. While we're doing John Powell (in my opinion, a very underrated composer), I thought I'd share one that perhaps people don't think that much of, but is sheer melodic bliss to me: Chicken Run (which he did with Harry Gregson-Williams). Please find the Spotify link here, and like a lot of Powell's stuff, it's worth a listen from beginning to end as the story almost unfolds audibly. Another one I'd like to mention is Joe Hisaishi, commonly associated with Studio Ghibli movies. A good introduction to his Ghibli music is this album on Spotify, but he has so much more than that. @Kintobor has already mentioned his Princess Mononoke work, which is excellent. There's a lot more I'd like to recommend, but I'll listen to some you have recommended here first and hopefully we can keep this discussion going! You guys have given me much to listen to and I'll be adding a few to my Spotify favourites!
  5. I love the look of this set. I think the pudgy, dwarf-like look is what seals the deal for me. Also quite like the design print of Clay's suit.

    LEGO Nexo Knights 2018

    I quite like Axl's Rolling Arsenal. Love the boxy look, it's kind of a compact Fortrex of sorts.

    LEGO Ninjago 2017 Discussion

    Extremely impressed by these images, they look so much nicer now that they're cleaned up. Just wondering, for anyone who knows, are those actual Japanese characters used (such as on the Destiny's Bounty), and do they mean anything?
  8. I have been on and off about this set for a while, but I really like what I see here. It has a pleasing shape when closed up, and I love the removable ship feature, it reminds me of a space shuttle, like in Star Trek. To be honest, I think this set has been the most successful marriage of Space and Castle since this theme started. Will definitely consider it.

    Heads up for those in Australia, Woolworths is stocking the 30377 Motor Horse for $5. Read it on Bricking Around. I bought two, the build is pretty cool.

    Thanks amazingbricks! The Cruiser sounds like an awesome idea. My only concern that being a cheap set means it is not likely to be big, so more like a starfighter size than a cruiser. But still, interesting!

    Future Constraction Lines

    The last licensor was Ionix, though I'm not sure if they've done anything recently: http://pokemon.ionixbricks.com/playsets.php I don't know if Nanoblock counts, but I feel they're a bit separate.

    No Bionicle in 2017 confirmed

    A bit disappointed there wasn't at least one more year to go out with a bang. I hope they learned some good lessons and work that for whatever they plan next. I hope constraction continues, and hopefully the strategy around future themes will be better planned out. In the meantime, a thank you to the team for giving us some great sets, and at the very least it was fun.

    LEGO Power Rangers 2017 sets!

    Why would someone take credit for a fake, though? It seems bizarre.

    LEGO Power Rangers 2017 sets!

    I don't understand why anyone would do that. What's the point of messing with people like that? I had such a good day, excited at the prospect of Power Rangers sets. Looking forward to the most exciting thing in 2017. It's just ... sigh.

    LEGO Power Rangers 2017 sets!

    This is pretty much a dream come true. For such a long time I've always said that the one dream franchise LEGO is missing for me (well, aside from Pokémon) is Power Rangers ... and here it is. I hope the license covers the TV series too. But I'd be okay if they focused on the movie. I hope there's more than one set. It would be a shame otherwise. But at least if they'd let us get all 5 Rangers, I'd be more than happy.
