Pulp Detective Posted July 29, 2013 I know it's a bit too early to ask such a question but I want to know if there's any news/rumors about new action themes for 2014. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

UberlegoTV Posted July 29, 2013 The lego movie coming out in 2014 is going to have sets as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amset-Rah Posted August 2, 2013 Yeah, I mainly see Chima, Ninjago's return, and The Lego Movie as action themes, though all three should promise some amazing offerings, if the one TLM set image is an indication. Though should we count it as an action theme or a license? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PenPlays Posted August 2, 2013 At the moment, The Lego Movie is being considered a Special Theme, and has a thread dedicated to it, and another for its CMF series in the Special Themes Forum. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amset-Rah Posted August 2, 2013 Ah, thanks for the clarification. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pulp Detective Posted August 3, 2013 Well I'm still waiting for the pirates theme to return. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fives Posted August 3, 2013 Well I'm still waiting for the pirates theme to return. It may be some time before that happens. If Disney keeps cranking out POTC films, LEGO will make sets. And with all the other licenses and original themes, there isn't much space to dedicate to Pirates. Could be another 5 years or more till we see it return. But if and when it does, I bet it will be amazing. Also, I think the LEGO Movie is gonna have a bit of every classic LEGO theme. With 17 sets, we'll get a bit of town, action, space, western, castle, pirates, and unique movie-specific stuff. I'm very excited for those sets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Faefrost Posted August 3, 2013 (edited) Well I'm still waiting for the pirates theme to return. It sadly may be a long wait. The sad truth of licensed sets is that a theme with a direct movie tie in will typically do orders of magnitude more business than a similar unlicensed theme. Even if the sets only seem out for a short time, or a larger than normal amount may be sold on sale. The business surge from around the movie is so great that sometimes it is more worthwhile to hold a license as active for a few years, and then wait for the next movie before releasing sets, then it is to shelve the license and do a full unlicensed theme. So in the case of Pirates, they may be sitting on the PotC theme until the next film. This is also why so many of the newer action themes seem to have media tie ins.

ToaJaller78 Posted August 5, 2013 It may be an action figure theme, But it still has action. Bring back BIONICLE. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pulp Detective Posted August 5, 2013 (edited) Well 17 sets does sound exciting but I'd prefer themes based on one subject not in many,like pirates or the old west and yes the Lone Ranger sets are cool but I would love a theme that will let you built a full western town and I prefer the classic yellow colored minifigures(I hope this doesnt sounds racist ).Btw I'm still hoping for a full steampunk theme,I mean steampunk is famous right??

Peppermint_M Posted August 7, 2013 Steampunk is also Sci-fi so it goes elsewhere. Personally I am hoping for a new theme soon, maybe racing again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MakutaNocturn Posted August 7, 2013 It may be an action figure theme, But it still has action. Bring back BIONICLE. Staaaph that! No one will bring it back. And it's good that it ended. It was tottaly exploited. Will Galaxy Squad be continued? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fives Posted August 7, 2013 I just watched King Kong (2005). LEGO should do a new jungle theme, like the original Johnny Thunder stuff. Give us prehistoric creatures and what not, but have a giant Gorilla. I know its kinda like ripping off a classic story, but that way LEGO wouldn't have to get licenses. They kinda did it with the Dino 2012 theme. Ripped off Jurassic Park in a big way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bricknblue Posted August 7, 2013 To LEGO I think the big action themes will be Chima, NinjaGo, The LEGO Movie has 17 sets and mini figures. Chima or NinjaGo for summertime, maybe another year of Galaxy Squad and I see at least one new theme, maybe in the fall. A one off like Monster Fighters. We have had rock monsters, water, and kind of historial theme recently, not sure what they can bring back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Only Sinner Posted August 21, 2013 What about the set we saw from the new LEGO movie? If that's not action-y, I wouldn't know where else to put it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mogywar Posted August 31, 2013 Yes, return of Johnny Thunder and his friends would be AWESOME! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Walter Posted August 31, 2013 Johnny Thunder: Adventurers in the Retirement Home Seriously though I'd love to see JT again! He was my childhood hero. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chro Posted September 11, 2013 It may be an action figure theme, But it still has action. Bring back BIONICLE. As a dedicated Bionicle fan I honestly think that'd be a bad idea... anyway this is the 2014 thread, and it's not coming back next year... plus it isn't even considered an action theme. XD Johnny Thunder: Adventurers in the Retirement Home Yes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pigbrick Posted September 16, 2013 It would be great to have another theme besides the big ones... personally wouldn't mind a space pirate theme Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
parksroad Posted September 22, 2013 MF was the best thing going on last year. Whatever else happens, I'll be looking forward to a follow-up to that. It'll be tough to do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
obsidianheart Posted September 23, 2013 Agents 3.0 THIS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bricknblue Posted September 23, 2013 I don't think there will be. The new action theme will be based on the LEGO movie. Alien Conquest series 2 got canceled because of sales and space in warehouses. LEGO has so much crap coming out next year I just don't see when things will get released. The LEGO Movie will get sets for the movie and the DVD release, that's winter and then late summer or fall of next year. Chima will probably get both a winter and a summer waves, then NinjaGo which wasn't really planned I could see bumping whatever might have been planned. Only time will tell. I'm looking forward to an Agents like theme, but that might be too close to what the movie sets will be. We got an Eygpt theme, rock, aqua sets and Agents is the only one left. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
