While Stranger Things is a small line, it is still an established theme; I assume that @Brick Clicker would not have worded their post as they did, if the sets were just a continuation of an existing (albeit small) theme. 

Yeah, he probably would have phrased it a bit differently. What else could it be though, if it‘s licensed (which I highly doubt at this point)? 

I hope we hear more soon

[Brick Clicker]

Sadly it isn't Stranger Things as far as I'm aware.

Looks to be an unlicensed thing which is pretty out there but I'm sure it won't be long at all till pics pop up...

Thanks for confirming it  Wonder what it could be then  Perhaps something to celebrate the anniversary on top of the fan-voted set?

Thanks for confirmation! I’m quite curious about an in-house theme.

What else do you know about this theme, aside from it being unlicensed? 
BTW, is “pretty out there” a hint? I am trying not to read too much into rumours!

A new in-house theme debuting with only 4 sets sounds very strange

 

I mean, I do believe you, but this feels off...

Out there, as in "outer space"?  Just joking, of course. We really shouldn't read too much into it 

I'm expecting a small one-off theme to celebrate the anniversary

If @Brick Clicker's wording is a hint, space was my first thought (that, or a very unusual theme such as VIDIYO). Also, agreed! 😬

I mean, we have no prices or part counts. For all we know, this could be four $15 gimmick sets like vignettes or something

Maybe one for each of the 90th Anniversary themes? 🤔

Yeah I’m suspecting it may have something to do with 90th anniveary but I dunno…

Oh... the plot thickens. I like this idea.

The only issue with this is that Bionicle would be difficult to represent in a single set. 😕

Perhaps @Brick Clicker could weigh in, so that speculation does not get out-of-hand?

Not really. LEGO could just make one of the six whatever they were called things out of bricks.

Or, my evilness showing through, just completely ignore Bionicle and make two Space sets, one blue and trans yellow and the other Ice Planet.

Instead of discussing Avatar everyone talks about the new theme 

Why not make a new thread for it? I guess it's an original theme, maybe pirates?

Agreed. But no idea what kind of theme it would be yet. Probably we could rename Indiana Jones forum to “Mysterous New Theme” since there are no Indy sets this year?

Why? The Indy theme will release in 2023, no need to. The mystery theme might be original for all we know or licensed.

It’s not my idea. It was BriickBob’s idea in Indiana Jones forum.

As Mr. Clicker said, it won't be long until we find out what it is (it's not Bionicle or Indy)

Where did @Brick Clicker say that the theme would not be Bionicle? 
 

[TurinTheGreat]

Why would it be Bionicle? Bionicle failed... and only 4 sets?

If the sets are for the 90th Anniversary, one set for each of the top four themes (Space, Castle, Pirates, Bionicle) would make sense.

if they were to be 4 separate sets for each theme then the price would be pretty low, like 30-50 each, at least low for an anniversary set(s) instead of 4 separate sets id prefer a series of dioramas that can be connected with a Minifigure corresponding with the set, similar to the 60th-anniversary GWP

also, this thread is getting quite offhand, someone should make a forum based around the anniversary, if there isn't one already

I disagree with you on “Bionicle failed”… It actually saved Lego’s butts from being bankerupted in early 2000s.

Where did that Bioncile stuff coming from? Clicker said “new theme” and it’s in-house. Sure Bioncile was an in-house theme but I don’t think Clicker said anything about Bioncile?

i think he meant the Bionicle reboot failed, not the original run
