Ok, thanks @Falconfan1414

Then Dr Who is out because the dimensions pack came first. Adventure Time also is out because the Dimensions pack came first. 

Hmmm  then they have to be Ghostbusters and Back to the Future. Those 2 started on Ideas, and then went to Dimensions

But there is already Ghostbusters theme....... right?

About the Tim Burton movie, please let be SLEEPY HOLLOW!

Let’s say revive for one  and wrong burton movie

[Robert8]

Dang it. I love Sleepy Hollow (thanks for the info, again)

Hmmm Alice in Wonderland would be my second guess but the sequel crashed so horribly that I just don't see it happening

 

There are cleary some movies out of the question like Sweeney Todd

What about Nightmare Before Christmas??

[Falconfan1414]

Just because I cannot see it, doesn’t mean I can’t believe it!

Either BTTF or Ghostbusters is coming back?

Try both  and at the least like what @Azani said, these were slated by Lego at one point to come out this summer

So both were in the works, but it's unknown whether they're still coming?

Any way though, this has me very excited. The Ecto-1 and Firehouse are some of my favorite sets, and I've been thinking for years about how much unused potential BTTF has.

[latenightguy]

As much as I would be excited for both, I wonder why LEGO would decide to make more BTTF sets now. Ghostbusters has the animated Ecto-Force series to revive the brand, though the latter seems somewhat out of nowhere. Unless...

Back to the future, nightmare before Christmas, and ghostbusters were all set to be realeased in 2018 in the summer by Lego. They might have changed there schedule but they were scheduled for summer 2018

If you remember who I am in IG, you already told me about the GB and BTTF, now NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS? HOLY CRAP! 

[doclord]

Lol this is a total thread hijack, but NMBC will be incredible. How many sets?

LEGO Fantastic beasts and possible future licensed sets

Not at all.

Correct. I heard about this from a guy who I trust a little over a month or so back, along with PP Girls. This was prior to the mention of said theme by the fellow on Brickset, so I'm pretty sure that he's legit.

[Legocollinfreak]

I was really hoping for Wizard of Oz

[sunhuntin]

BTTF train, maybe? We can dream, I guess.

[Borex]

Oh man ghostbusters and bttf??? There goes my money. 

My guess for bttf is a new delorean. 

Ghostbusters, maybe a brick built stay puft? 

A nightmare before christmas sounds also awesome, but i cant get into a new theme since i already collect too much :-s

[SpiderJazz]

New Delorean this time with new pieces to execute the opening doors and windshield. 

[RedHoodPug]

If that is true about Nightmare my son will actually physically explode. In which case I will be billing Lego for a mop.

I just hope we’ll get updated figures as well. Especially Doc. Maybe in the future delorean with the yellow jacket. And Einstein. 

[Digger of Bricks]

Much like the second BTTF Ideas (CUUSOO) project that was rejected, I'd hope for a USC/Creator Expert scale DeLorean time machine, just to make up for the lackluster constructed minifig scaled set we did get.

[Whovastron]

So small Licences waves seem to be the new thing Lego are going for now that they can’t sue these licences for Dimensions?

with Powerpuff Girls, BTTF, Ghostbusters, Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts

for BTTF I expect (and hope/dream) for the train and UCS Delorean that was rejected from ideas.

[AnnaBuildsLego]

Wow, interesting! I'm quite surprised, but this is still really great for fans of those movies if these sets do go ahead. I'd certainly happily get a BTTF Delorean if it was priced nicely, as I missed the last one.

All of that said, I do wish LEGO would focus a bit more on developing their own original themes; but as Whovastron suggested, I think LEGO will want to get mileage out of the licenses they got for Dimensions. I think we could certainly expect a new era of one-off short licensed themes every year (although I think Harry Potter will last longer than one year).

Seems like it, and it's kind of annoying me.

I think both of those are quite plausible, but I wouldn't be surprised if we ended up getting a cleaned up remake of the initial set.

Most likely there will be another “big bang” theme that will appear most likely at the start of 2019

Definitely more sure for January of 2019 than for the summer of 2018?
