Did the diorama/ village based sets with minifigs not sell well?

I'm really hoping they make more minifigs.

I don’t have numbers of course, so it’s just a hunch, but i think they didn’t sell that well. 
 

It’s a tricky theme after all. AC has a large group of fans, but do they all buy lego? And are those sets interesting enough for people that don’t know anything about AC? I think if the builds were more challenging more afols would step in for parts or moc-ing. And for the kids it maybe is a bit too cozy?

Maybe they went the big buildable figure route to speak more to the adult AC-fan?

but then again, this is just me guessing

Lego seems to like their buildable figures these days... It has been across many themes!

Agree with you! The location sets seemed in-between for an adult or a kiddie set.

Perhaps a CMF would save the theme?
