BrickBob Studpants Posted February 10, 2022 Pretty random idea for a Brickheadz set, but why not Pretty weird to see a 5-pack though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheMainBricker Posted February 10, 2022 This would appear to be another Matthew Ashton special, although I imagine this will do better than his last flop. But I do question whether this would sell better as individual sets, as people may bulk at the price of all five together. People may be more inclined to buy one a month for instance.

BrickBob Studpants Posted February 10, 2022 I wonder if this is the start of a pop culture icon Brickheadz subtheme There’s plenty of artists and bands they could do here, almost too many Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Did we get sales numbers for the Queer Eye apartment or is that just speculation? Never was a Spice Girls person but the concept of branching out with Brickheadz intrigues me. I would definitely be interested with more options like Prince or Elton John who are dynamic enough to make compelling builds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do you have some personal issues or what? Designed by, but the idea is not his, he was told to do the set. My personal issues are, that there is one man at the Lego group who is basically running it as his own personal MOC brand, with random ideas that don't necessarily translate to being great Lego ideas. I would highly doubt that these sets would see the light of day if another Lego employee suggested them. I know Lego can't please everyone, but there seems to be a growing issue that some ideas and themes never see the light of day (even with large fanbases behind them), but if he likes it (no matter how niche) there's a good chance it will be made into Lego. It's like a football team that makes questionable decisions, you can trace it back to the management, and a change of management can cause a major turnaround. Spice Girls is much more Lego friendly than a reality TV show (as the demographics for reality TV don't correlate with merchandise purchasers), but Lego Spice Girls is about 25 years too late (as all of the branded merchandise, like dolls etc came out in the 90s). People are questioning who is coming up with these random (and typically poorly received) sets, and there is a clear answer. But people seem to get offended. Lego Spice Girls, good idea, but 25 years too late. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrickBob Studpants Posted February 10, 2022 Since you seem to have exclusive access to the inner workings of TLG nobody else seems to have, can you actually give us some useful information? There are still quite a few set lists missing And yes, Ashton‘s personally responsible for Classic Space and Castle never returning. He laughs himself silly every day while petting a white cat on his lap Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maple Posted February 10, 2022 My only problem with these is LEGO can't keep up with demand of all the sets they make. I'd argue they make too many sets. Because of this the quality of bricks is now dino poopoo. So now they are making even more random weird sets and I'm afraid LEGO is spreading themselves too thin.
