eep what did I do now?

Rank has its privlidges.

thats what they did with the Viking line, but i'm thinking they may broaden their horizons to include Roman sets with Balistas and trebuchets and so on.

true but others have noticed a trend with LEGO and Playmobile, when Playmobile has a theme LEGO comes out with a similar theme like the vikings and so on, I wouldn't be surprised if we see Greeks, Romans and Egyptians in the next year or two, like I foresaw before coming out in 2011 and 2012, and wouldn't be surprised if series 3 collectible minifigs have elves in them either.

well know this Playmobil is LEGO's competitor not mega blocks or tyco or any of those, its playmobil they compete against since their lines are both designed for the same age groups, with LEGO going outside those age groups on some things.

so I guess the Agents line didn't exist? or the Vikings line didn't exist? or the Dino Attack line didn't exist?(Jurassic park not exactly a kiddie movie either), or lets look at the other lines shall we? your premise that Ancients would not be popular is faulty at best PlayMobile did a Roman and Egyptian theme sets and they were wildly popular. furthermore your premise that the line must be popular amongst kids is also faulty since many lines LEGO did were very unpopular amongst kids and adults Gallidor comes to mind.

odds are a majority of them are adults, since seriously how many kids you know will take time to do a survey or whos parents will allow them to take a survey? as to Ninjas you can thank shows like power rangers for imbeding them into our childrens minds.

actually you would be surprised by what kids find enjoyable these days 10 out of 10 times my neices and nephews came over they went playing with my Romans and Greeks first and left my Knights and such alone.

Have a complete Collectible minifig set for sale for $65 plus S&H the set is complete but opened and even has the extras.

why don't we ever get these items over here in US?

But many have noticed with the quality of LEGO of late I still keep thinking i'm going to find a MB brand on them instead of the LEGO brand, and yes people complained about parts from Mexico too, but from what i've noticed the bulk of complaints have been recent product shipped out of China when it comes to basic color and print and feel on LEGO, in fact I just compared 2 Kingdom's sets one not from China and the other from China, and there is some considerable differances in them, not too mention has anybody noticed how the Horses (which are done in China) are looking really weird and glossy? almost like shifty or enlighten horses.

Rick from one Rick to another Rick, please enlighten us to where LEGO said that these minifigs would not be used again.? LEGO never said that but people assumed it a great deal, but nowhere was it said so by LEGO. actually look at a certain competitor of LEGOs which LEGO usually copies about 3 years too late, they recently had Roman and Circus lines which did great so you think LEGO will not jump on that band wagon? oh yeah were gonna get Ancients and get them pretty soon, wouldn't be surprised if they come out next year.

yeah be nice to see something like this, its simple in design and great:

Actually you haven't listened then since for the past few years people have been complaigning about the quality of LEGO going down hill, I never really gave it much thought till I bought some sets a couple years ago and in one set all of the minifig parts were not in it, and there was no rips in the bags they came in or openings or even resealing and the set was bought straight from LEGO so that irked me and this set was from China according to the box, and then there are sets which have had the lousy connectability of Mega Blocks some of the black 1x8's would not connect and so on, while I haven't encountered problemsthat severe recently I still encounter the minor melted brick (not completely formed in the mold) and such. and I'm not alone in this either.
