Atek Posted September 9, 2020 Posted September 9, 2020 Just saw this. Thoughts? My friend just send it to me, I'm so excited for Lego Dune sets! It's a dream come true! Quote
MAB Posted September 9, 2020 Posted September 9, 2020 Whatever it is, it is likely to be a MOC. Quote

Pulp Detective Posted September 9, 2020 Posted September 9, 2020 Unless someone makes an Ideas Dune set and it gets approved then that's the only way for us to ever get an official Dune set.Otherwise there's no way in hell Lego release's a traditional wave of sets for this movie/franchise.It's exclusively adult oriented,kids won't find such theme interesting.

Agreed. The brand fit just isn’t there, even though Dune isn’t overly violent or anything Quote

It would be stupid to make Dune R rated tho, it just doesn't need to since Dune is so close to Lord of the rings. The storyline is fairly complex and rather tedious (as is LOTR). Quote
MAB Posted September 9, 2020 Posted September 9, 2020 I guess the difference is merchandise. LOTR had quite a lot of collector merchandise including dolls and figurines and so on. I wonder how much Dune will have and what market there is for it. Quote
gedren_y Posted September 9, 2020 Posted September 9, 2020 Dune has an overtly religious storyline. Book III of the original novel is literally titled The Prophet. This is why LEGO won't do Dune. Quote
MatthewRC Posted September 11, 2020 Posted September 11, 2020 Mega Construx is more likely to do Dune sets. Quote
Pulp Detective Posted September 11, 2020 Posted September 11, 2020 Shouldn't this thread get locked since we know that there won't be any sets? Quote
