Most likely not, unless it‘s those four mystery set numbers (77012-77015) It‘s been said that those are for a „new“ theme, so it looks like Indy won’t return before next year Edited March 5, 2022 by BrickBob Studpants Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Regardless of whether it's licensed or in-house, how come we haven't heard ANYTHING about it a month before its supposed release?

It's likely the latter or maybe it's just a new lame theme that went under the radar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If thst were to be the case, it probably would come out in the fall before the Christmas rush. I thought Mario was a summer movie, not a Christmas one. My theory i out the window. 4 hours ago, BrickBob Studpants said: He said a new theme, not a new subtheme Besides, those would definitely follow the same set numbering. My money is on a new in-house theme. Weird to only have four sets if that were true, but it‘s a bit odd in any case Why would they follow the same numbering? That's not a given.

A theme switching numbers from one year to another is not the same thing as subthemes having their own numbers in parallel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I meant subthemes within a theme Marvel and DC share the same numbers, as did LotR and The Hobbit, or Fantastic Beasts and Harry Potter. Star Wars sets always have the same numbers, no matter what they‘re based on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Star Wars sets always have the same numbers, no matter what they‘re based on. All of those are the same theme, different movies, but same building system (minidolls). They get mixed and matched in releases too with Star Wars. The Mario theme now is a digifigure game thing. If the new theme is minifigure based there is no reason to not have it be a different number for the different types of themes. I doubt it's Mario as the movie comes out months later than I thought it would, but now I hope it is. Maybe it's Animal Crossing. 4 sets would cover about everything.

There‘s also no reason to have completely separate set numbers They would also be marketed under „Super Mario“, even if it was a different system I doubt it‘s anything Nintendo-related. Wouldn‘t they have announced that eons ago? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well you never know, it’s Mar10 day next week Honestly though, I hope we’re just completely blindsided by whatever those four sets are. I’m probably setting myself up for disappointment, but it’s been a while since a new theme came out of nowhere and surprised everyone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As stated in my previous post, new licenses usually get teased or announced months in advance, and leaks or rumours are swirling around for months before that Even the one-off Horizon Forbidden West set was officially announced three months before release, and first rumoured at least two months prior. A new licensed theme appearing without a single rumour less than a month before release is pretty hard to believe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BrickBob Studpants Posted March 5, 2022 (edited) 14 minutes ago, DBlegonerd7 said: Did Brick Clicker confirm it’s not a new in-house theme then? No, he didn't specify anything My point was that the new theme is less likely to be licensed because an in-house one would be easier to keep a secret. We only learned of Monkie Kid's existence beforehand thanks to the logo leaking and a trademark entry surfacing. I know this might sound hypocritical because I was suggesting a licensed theme earlier myself (Stranger Things), but there's two reasons I brought that one up: There actually is a rumour there's going to be more than the keychain and Brickheadz It'd technically be a new theme without requiring an announcement, considering there was that teaser on TLG's Twitter last year That said, I still believe an unlicensed new theme is the most likely outcome Edited March 5, 2022 by BrickBob Studpants Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NoOneOfImportance Posted March 6, 2022 Be careful not to get hopes too high for this. The four sets could be for anything, and having hopes too high will likely just lead to disappointment. I’m interested to see when these mysterious sets get revealed so that it finally puts the uncertainty to rest and gives some more clarity, haha. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It‘s another reason I assume it to be an in-house theme, so I don‘t end up disappointed Well, „more disappointed“, rather. I was really looking forward to Indy sets this year Should‘ve listened to my gut on this, of course they‘re not releasing sets this year when the new film has been pushed back to next year. I wonder why the leakers were so convinced of Coconut being Indy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Whovastron Posted March 6, 2022 I reckon the new sets will be next year. Hasbro have got the license to produce figures and such for the franchise too, but that again is starting next year. I really hope this theme ends up a bit like Harry Potter, revisiting to older movies and even remaking older sets. I rebuilt my original stolen treasure chase set yesterday and damn did that fill me with nostalgia. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
