"Time travelers", a group of aventurers / scientits studying history by traveling in differents times of Earth (this includes the future), the main objective is to not interfere...

We can have these travelers in different pariods : ancient egypt, roma, atlantis, prehistory, maya, middle ages, dinosaur times, spatial age...

I always love time traveling stoies! I will show you my “timequake” idea - it’s the ideal theme I came up with last year so I would like to share with you. See below:

My theme idea is…Timequake! You know Time Cruisrs theme (back in 90s) was pretty simple and plain but no historic feature?!

Tim (old character from Time Cruisers) has fratneral twins, Timmy and Tammy, helping the elderly Dr. Cyber with his research that relates to time paradox aka “timequake”. Suddenly, a new villian, Dr. Cyber’s traitor assistant, Dr. Para Dox steals a latest time machine. 

Dr. Dox’s intention is to create alternate timeline that would cause a timequake. He goes to steal some precious objects across time periods.

For example, he and his gang steal King Leo’s crown and hand it over to his enemy and put robots into Middle Age. And he also steals Captian RedBeard’s most valuable treasure and gifts it to his archenemies and unleashes a Mosaurus that would destory any private ships. Dr. Dox goes to Wild West time period to sabotage sheriff’s plan to allow outlaws escape and put evil knights into small towns to aid outlaws. In a feudal Japan, his minions kidnap a samuri to allow an evil samuari, riding T-rex. 

With Dr. Dox’s actions, it will cause a grat timequake in history ever. 

Dr. Cyber is too old to reverse the timeline, it’s up to Timmy and Tammy!

I have been thinking about submitting my idea to LEGO via World Builder but I don’t have any model (due to my low vision so it’s difficult for see what I bild). I mean Timequake theme sounds really cool and wicked. It could have everything kids and adults would love. I mean, I put some in-house themes into one theme.

The follwoing in-house theme I put together into one theme since they represent time period:

 Time Cruiser / City - Present Day

 Dino - Mesozoic Period 

 Western (theme) - Wild West 

 Castle - Middle Age

 Pirates - 16th/17th Centuries (known as Godlen Age of Pirates)

Adventurers - 1920s, 1930s or 1940s

 Ninja (theme) - 1185 - 1603 CE

Atlantis - Golden Age of Philosphy (around 600 BCE)

 Vikings (theme) - Viking Age

 Rock Raider / Classic Space / Blckthron - Distant Future 

It would a great idea but a written description would be accepted if I don’t do a mode

Dude… I just said prequel to Atlantis theme. 

Plus, I never described Poseidon and Neptunia as “merpeople”. They would be the human king and queen while their kingdom was populated by humans before merpeople took over that city when it sank. 

 

I´ve read that you wrote that. Just that doesn´t make it a better idea. When you want to sell people an Atlantis they will want an sunken City with seapeople. If you want to sell an unsunken Atlantis, it would need a Movie it is based on or something IMO.

As for Poseidon and Neptunia. Well their names speak for themselves ;). People will just have expectation with these names.

We already had the Atlantis theme in early 2010s - i don’t think they were sold well then?

but it’s pointless since I love sharing my ideas wiht others here and you assumed my idea won’t be sold well… Whatever.

No idea, you would have to ask Lego about that. But I doubt an Atlantis that is on the Surface would sell better than one under the sea ;).

Hmm.. interesting that you don’t know if Atlantis theme was sold well but you still doubt an on-surface Atlantis idea is not going to be sold well. I’m shocked (sarcastically). 

Anyways, this is the thread where we share our ideas which it’s fun. But you keep telling me it won’t be sold well.  Well, whatever fights your boat … *shrugs8

Wouldn´t a sunken Atlantis kinda make more sense, when Poseidon and Neptunia rule it especially? Also a sunken Atlantis with waterpeople would just sell better IMO

@Lion King was talking about a Pirates theme wasn't he? How are pirates supposed to interact with a sunken Atlantis? Pirates never had deep sea diving equipment.

That almost happened with the cancelled Seatron subtheme but for some reason they cancelled it. Personally I don't like alien minifigures (especially ones with moulded heads) but such subthemes can still be considered Space but not Classic Space.

Out of curiosity, what about the aliens with brick-built heads from Idea Book 6000 (identified as the "Zark Empire" in the 1980s Captain Indigo comics from LEGO Bricks & Pieces Magazine)? While they did not appear in sets, they were still "official" Classic Space era designs. And although they didn't use unique head molds, they didn't use traditional minifig heads, either!

Alien characters like these (and those portrayed in other LEGO Space promotional media of the Classic Space era, like "De LEGO Krant" or the Jim Spaceborn comics) are one of the main reasons that I tend to disagree about aliens being entirely incompatible with Classic Space. Even if LEGO didn't intend for alien encounters to be a normal or commonplace occurrence for Classic Space astronauts, publications like these suggest that they weren't in any way opposed to that possibility.

On another note, what about the Minifigures Series 22 Space Creature? That one uses a traditional minifig head, but also a headgear piece to represent additional alien features like stalk-eyes (much like how several fantasy-themed collectable minifigs have used headgear pieces to add non-human features like horns or pointed ears). Is that closer to something you'd be comfortable with, or do you have the same amount of dislike for it as for more specialized head molds?

Just because the City is sunken, doesn´t mean the inhabitants can´t swim, does it? Anyways, my point was that when people imagine Atlantis, they expect a sunken city - so when there would be a new Atlantis Set, Lego would for sure make it an under water setting ;)

 

Aside from that I don´t see anything that would speak against and Fantasy Pirate Setting with Seapeople, Atlanteans etc (if we leave aside, that we could be happy, when Lego would even do any kind of Pirate, Castle, Space etc. Series, sadly)

[Lion King]

This dude has no idea what he’s saying… This thread is about sharing fun non-licenseneeded ideas. It’s my idea, my story. I don’t care what he thinks about “on-surface” Atantis.Damn, I literally said (kinda) “prequel” to Atlantis theme.  Like…how piratess find an unseen Atlantis BEFORe the island city sank. It’s clearly i made a lot sense how pirates discovered the uncharted sea (Hidden Side) and (yet sunken) Atlantis. 

I feel that Black Falcon’s actions is distasteful and disrepeful when it comes to my non-licensed theme idea. It’s just fun sharing ideas here….I mean will Lego buy my ide a for real?? No, it’s just fun sharing my idea here. He literally doesn’t know what he is talking about. So damn rude of Black Falcon. He needs to chill out. Jsut damn chill out.

Eurobricks Community and Moderator, I apologize for tthe posts me a this dude. Black Falcon, I’m not sorry. Heck no, I’m not sorry.

If they are doing historical I would not want to see Atlantis in it. It is fine for a mythological fantasy theme but not if they are doing other sets based on history. If doing something like Atlantis, they might as well do mythological Greek or Roman, Egyptian,  Norse, Chinese, and so on. Explore their mythology rather than history.

This is a forum, so discussions about Ideas and such are quite normal IMO. Anyways, I can assure you I didn´t mean to belittle your idea in any way. If it felt to you like I was, I am sorry.

It's difficult to establish what is what is official lore (if such a thing even exists for older themes) and what is not because different regions have different names for sets and figures and byproducts like comics and advertising. Personally I only consider sets and catalogs as reliable information. But this is what is great about Lego from this era, almost everything is up to you and your imagination. I think the Series 22 Space Creature looks funny but I wouldn't include it in my Classic Space/Futuron builds. Maybe with UFO or Insectoids? But I definitely like the Space Creature!  

[Lion King]

While Halloween is around the corner and thee is no non-licensed theme yet, I decide to throw my ideas. 

What if…they don’t bring Hidden Side or Monster Fighter back from the dead? I imaine something different and new, slightly similiar to he beleoved entioend themes. 

Agents of Mysteries!

The theme revolts around heroic agents going into invegistation around paranormal / supernatural / strange activities while ordinary citizens are not aware of them (just like Jack and Parker investigating paranormal activities in Newbury while people being unaware).

there are so many creatures out there - hiding deeper into woods, lurking deeper in water, or peering within dark shadows in our alleys - werewolf, vampire, witch, alien, demon, fairy, swamp monster, mermaid, centaur, wraith, wwendigo, mothman, zombie, troll, elf, ghost, scarecrow, ghoul, angel, living shadow, jinn, shapeshifterboggart - that agents must invegistate and battle them in order.  There are a few heroic creatures like Leaf the forest fairy, Ravenna the good witch, and Moony the werewolf to team up with agents. 

Pumpkin King the scarecrow plots to eliminate humankind, believing that the supernatural races are superiors over humans (follwoing Lord Vampyre’s downfall in Monster Fighters ). Pumpkin King learns that there is a relic - a Scythe of Monsters - tha allows him to rule over the realm of monsters and creatures and turn them against humans. The original fighers realize it’s too much for them and they decided to found a nw group “Agents of Mysteries”. The agents learn that there is another relic that can counter  Scythe of Monsters - Ssword of Harmony - created by Lord Vampyre’s brother Vamok the Good Vampire. 

Agents are advised to find new stones before monsers cou seize them. The stones will point whoever to Sword of Harmony. 

[Lion King]

Another idea I have… the theme would be called “Dark Abyss”.

A long time ago…. Alien spacecraft crashed into Earth, triggering mass extinction of dinosaurs.  The spacecraft was  sank deep into the ocean abyss.  Aliens aboard the spacecraft took some sample of prehistoric sea creatures and modified  them into new sea-dwelling alien race - “Sea Watchers”.  As the time flows by, Sea Watchers continue taking sample of modern sea animals, such as shark, whale, angler, crab, etc.  Today, marine biologist Marianna Thunder, granddaughter of Johnny Thunder, was assigned to a secret mission and sent to the Trench by government.  The government thinks there is an odd activity in the chasm, based on the data the scientists obtained. 

Marianna and her crew were surprised to see some strange-looking creatures  emerging from dark chasm.  The aliens attack the crew, not wanting them to find the spacecraft deep there.   They unleash some living prehistoric sea creatures and mutated sea creatures.  The battle between aliens and human begins.

Around 2010 we had so many interesting in house themes and I can't understand why they stopped making new ones after 2015. It was almost like a second golden age (the golden age for me personally is mid 80s to mid 90s). I think we need more of them and less Dreamz pastel colored rabbit sets. I have some ideas for a few new themes.

1. Underwater Pirates

Underwater based theme with a cargo transporting faction with an underwater monorail who are fighting against an evil pirate faction that uses futuristic technology.

2. New adventure theme about several teams of archeologists that are competing to find a treasures all around the world in the 1960s. Each factions has their own base and vehicles.

3. Something like City but taking place in late 1800s London. Some Sherlock Holmes inspired hero fighting against a Jack the Ripper inspired supervillain. A Scotland Yard base for the good guys and a base located in the sewers for the bad guys.

4. Samurais/Japan vs mongol invasion. Would include both castles and ships.

5. Return to fantasy themes for a Castle inspired theme: A peaceful kingdom with knights in gold and blue armor fighting against evil orcs and trolls that want to take over their kingdom. The orcs and trolls are controlled by an evil orange wizard who lives in a golden tower.

The LEGO Movie showed them they can create a successful theme by mashing lots of different ideas together so long as there is consistency between them. That is essentially what they have continued to do with Ninjago, the theme that can have space rockets, mechs, futuristic vehicles, traditional ships, futuristic and traditional architecture, pirates, snakes, robotic and underwater adversaries. And it all fits together unlike the classic themes, or Atlantis and Galaxy Squad or Alien Conquest.

1. This sounds delightfully whimsical. You mention futuristic technology, but what's the overall vibe? Maybe everything is underwater because it's a fantastical universe where everything is water and the surface is completely unknown!

2. Why the 1960s specifically? Is it for Cold War vibes, the fashions, or something else?

3. A Victorian-era theme would be excellent, but I'm having trouble visualizing "Sherlock Holmes vs. Jack the Ripper" as a concept. Sherlock isn't an action hero, he's a master detective who solves crimes after the fact. What's the intended dynamic here?

4. A "historical Japan" setting would also be excellent, but I'd be leery of applying "good guys vs. bad guys" to a historical scenario that could easily be coded to modern nations that are often in conflict. No, modern Japan and Mongolia are not at odds, but modern Japan and China are in certain ways, and given that the Mongols were the rulers of China at the time of the invasion in question...yeah. I think a better use of old Japan would be to set it in the Warring States period (as I believe classic Ninja was) so that all the color-coded factions are Japanese and the question is avoided.

5. On a related note, medieval-style fantasy has lately been leaning away from "good human(oids) vs. evil monsters" precisely because it reminds people so much of real-world racial stereotyping and conflicts. Maybe as a variation on your concept, color-coded evil wizards could be controlling or manipulating multiple groups and making them fight each other when they would normally be at peace, and the line could follow a core group of characters representing all the groups who have somehow resisted the mind control and are trying to sort things out.

1. I imagined something like space but with everything under water with different trans neon colors.

2. Because we have several themes taking place earlier and later. I didn't imagine anything Cold War related, more the style and the fashion.

3. With this one I want to go crazy and have a lot of cool stuff and not so much historical accuracy or to follow books and other existing media. It doesn't have to be Sherlock Holmes, it can also be some similar character.

4. Japan vs Japan would also be a good option but then it is harder to achieve the "fortresses vs ships" vibe I imagined. I see the Mongols to represent some kind of pirate like faction. No one would be made to look like bad guys and the customer could choose themselves who is good and bad just like it was with the Imperials and Pirates back in the day.

5. I know but personally I don't see the problem if the enemy is a fictional creature with no relation to the real word. Your idea is also good and would be something new.

I disagree. Ninjago tries to be too much at once and is too chaotic for me. There is nothing wrong with Ninjago but it can never replace more realistic or purely sci-fi themes. That is why all Ninjago clones fail, there is room for one such theme (and Ninjago is the best and should be the only one).

It doesn't need to replace realistic space / sci-fi, as City does that. And Ninjago covers much of fantasy. Then there is the shorter lived 'guest' theme of Monkie Kidd, Nexo Knights, Hidden Side. That is LEGO's current unlicensed arrangement, with no need for one year themes.

3. Any "similar character" to Sherlock Holmes is also going to be primarily a detective. Maybe this needs something more akin to the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen where it's a team of famous 19th Century literary characters, all with different specialties?

4. Good point that pure Warring States would lose the ships...maybe do more of a mashup of eras with the Mongols as a "wild card" faction that can complicate any samurai vs. samurai situation?

5. Explaining why "always chaotic evil monsters" is problematic is outside the scope of this thread, but hopefully the trend away from it in fantasy fiction speaks for itself. I think the premise would be more popular if it were more nuanced and there were heroic orc/goblin characters as well as human/elf antagonists.

From I was a child I really wanted to see a  ancient Rome theme. With senate, centurions,soldiers and ofcourse enemies like Egyptians , Carthago/Hannibal, barbarian tribes ( Kelts, Germanic tribes ), Judeans...

It definitely would be popular among adults

The problem with most current unlicensed themes are that they are subpar Ninjago clones. City space is also a poor replacement because it will always be too NASA like. Ninjago is a good theme that deserves a permanent place in the lineup but it can never replace themes such as Castle, Pirates, Space etc. because it is too out there and too fantasy based and too Power Rangers like. I don't necessarily see one year themes as a bad thing because they provide variation and most of them stuck around for 2-3 years. Themes such as Castle and Space existed in some form from the late 70s to the mid 2010s and Pirates from 1989 to 2015 with some interruptions.

I can't understand why such a theme hasn't been made. That is an excellent idea!
