Creator and action & adventure themes future

[Mr No]

As you have seen, Creator started to release sets based on Pirates and Castle with the pirate ship and castle of blue falcons set. This summer another old action theme will get a remake, this time the Vikings ship with a sea serpent and 3 viking minifigures. There is also a yellow submarine with an octopus, we don't know if it has minifigures yet but if it does then it must be a reference to Aqua Raiders. I remember reading that Lego kind of considers Creator the home of classic themes and action themes of old. And if that is true then what other Creator set do yoy think will come in the future based on an old action theme? Perhaps an Adventurers themed set? A classic space set? Maybe even a Exo Force mech? There is lots of potential. But this also means that Lego might never do original themes which would be a bummer.

Where did you read that? It does seem that way, although I wouldn't say that they will never do original themes again. Once Monkie Kid has run its course, it will need to be replaced by another action theme. But if you're referring to classic Space, Castle, and Pirates, yes, it seems those are doomed to reside in Creator (and Ideas) for the time being.

Sure, I could see them doing a space set in the color scheme of Classic Space or any other old space theme for that matter, but not an Exo Force mech. None of the recent Creator robots have had guns AFAIK and are usually focused on exploration or mining. Exo Force's trademark over-the-top weapons would be out of place in this theme.

I love the idea of a 3-in-1 Adventurers themed set, though, and could definitely see them doing it, especially since 31064 Island Adventures already felt like a throwback to sets like 5935 Island Hopper (even though it was clearly based on the Seaduck). Something like a temple that could be rebuilt into a sphinx or other type of statue and into a boat or plane or something would be great. Would come with a Johnny Thunder lookalike minifig of course, like the CMF Jungle Explorer.

I could also see them doing a sub in the style of Aquanauts or Atlantis that can be rebuilt into a mech or a small base. Or maybe an Alpha Team-style spy car that turns into a helicopter or a command center. Perhaps even a mining vehicle in the style of Rock Raiders or Power Miners with a brick-built rock monster that turns into a hovercraft or mech. As you said, the possibilities are nearly endless.

I am trying to find the article, I think it was on brickfanatics or brickshow. I think a desginer said that. 

Also, is Monkie Kid really a reason not to do another action theme because MK is continuing in 2023 but the sets are only available in China and Lego stores (mine doesn't even have them).

I'd like to see a steampunk time machine come in the creator line, maybe as a nod to the time travel theme Lego once produced
