The West is not as Wild

[The-Bard-of-Shale]

Has anyone else noticed that we rarely see anything regarding the old west these days? You don't see any new shows inspired by the old west, same goes for Lego sets as well. The last time in my memory that there was a line based about that time period was the Lone Ranger line, and several sets from the first Lego movie. The most resent bit of western theme I know of was that one cowboy figure wearing a fake horse. I ask why aren't there any more old west sets, and in what way could they be brought back?

In the 1990s when the western sets were produced, westerns were having a bit of a resurgence at the cinema. Movies like Dances With Wolves, Crossfire Trail, and Quigley Down Under (yes, that still counts as a western!) were quite popular around that time and Lego capitalized on the popularity of the genre. When westerns become popular again on the big screen, we'll probably see more western Lego sets - hopefully soon!
