Isn't there a chance Deadpool and Wolverine may pop up in the Marvel Minifig series 3? -
Jurassic Properties 2024 - Rumors & Discussion
snoozle replied to Clone OPatra's topic in LEGO Licensed
Finally we've got the Stegosaurus. I love it, I only wish it had red plates like it has in The Lost World. I'm sure they'll do Anniversary sets in 2027, but four years is long to wait to get an even more accurate movie Stego, so I might have to go with this one in the meantime. I remember I was very disappointed with the Brachio on this forum when it was unveiled, as I wanted movable legs. I have now finally come to understand why they didn't do it. Or I think I know the reason why. I looked at my brachio the other day and realized that if it had had movable legs, the bulk and the size of its body would've been much smaller and flatter. I now absolutely love it as it is, with the roundness and size of its tummy/body. Hence, I might also grow to love this Stego, despite the plates not being my desired colours. As they've given us both Ankylo and Stego the last few years, I now only have a small list of dinos remaining on my list that I absolutely need them to make: Parasaurolophus, Spinosaurus, and an updated Gallimimus. The Mosasaur is sadly just too big to realistically make in moulded lego form, but I'd love a Plesiosaur. Though it hasn't been in the movies yet, they did do concept art for them. -
I think this was definitely Disney. I've been collecting the Hasbro figures that have come out as well and no figures other than Indy and Short Round came from Temple of Doom for instance, so they have absolutely clamped down on what to portray from these movies as to not cause any controversy. This makes sense when we see what happened to the Temple of Doom LEGO set. I wanted that set so badly, I also try not to think about it...lol.

Jurassic Park/World 2023 - Rumors & Discussion
snoozle replied to Clone OPatra's topic in LEGO Licensed
Haha, I said all this. But ended up buying all the sets except for the Visitor's Centre one. From which I Bricklinked all the minifigs plus a few pieces. I now dig all the new dinos, but haven't gotten the new T-Rex as of yet, as I find the 2012/2015? Dark orange/Dark brown lego T-Rex so iconic it's hard to replace it. That now brings my Jurassic PARK collection closer to completion. All I now need is Gennaro, a new goat (the old one is sooo pricey), a new Stygimoloch (wasn't quite happy about the pattern on the last one), and we're there. Perhaps a new gate and a helicopter, eventually a Brachio with movable legs. But other than that, we now need to go to JP 2 and 3 for more stuff. (yes, I know JP 2 was called the Lost world :-D ) That's where I'd want to get a Stego and and Pachy. But seriously, I never thought the TLG would give us what we have gotten from the original movie these last couple of years...! :-D -
I would looove Herbie, the 007 Lotus Esprit and the Smokey and the Bandit Trans Am among others. Also several from Cannonball Run. But sadly probably not gonna happen. I'd also love more from the Fast movies. Perhaps more likely...

I have been against the brachiosaur as it did not have movable legs. Though I still wish they will one day make one, I have now been turned. I now love the design of the brachio, and I'm eagerly awaiting the chance to buy it. I'd never guessed I would turn around. -

I love that they've brought out these sets for the 30th anniversary. I'm still hoping for a brachio with movable legs down the line. But not holding my breath on that one. But they have repeated several dinos over the years and in some cases improved them. So perhaps for the 35th or 40th? Lol. Now we just need Gennaro and a stego and I'll be a happy and satisfied Jurassic camper. I also wouldn't mind a diloph with movable legs... Which is your overall favourite Jurassic Park set thus far? The t-rex breakout is mine. Though I have replaced the brick built T-rex (which I haven't even built) with the moulded, original one, which is still my fave T-rex. -

I'll be saving some money here. Disappointed in the Brachio. Glad that they made a moulded one. However, the non-movable legs is lazy and a dealbreaker for me. I also don't think the colour is that great. I was hoping for a smaller version of the Brachio from the LEGO game, as that looked fab to me. This? Not for me, unfortunately. I hope someone else gets to appreciate it. I was ready to get all of these. Now, the only thing I'm considering is getting Muldoon from Bricklink. -
[LEGOIdeas] Willow - Battle of Tir Asleen
snoozle replied to MontyMatte's topic in LEGO Historic Themes
I love this set, you've got my support. The way it's built, the way it comes apart and can be opened and closed. I'd get this set in an instant if it was made. Please TLG, give us this Willow set! -
I don't expect TLG to make a moulded Brachiosaur at the correct relative size to the other dinos. A fair bit larger than the T-rex for sure. The legs will need to be a bit longer than Rex's, the neck long of course, probably split in two parts. But the main bulk will be the body. Yet this doesn't have to be ridiculously large, or as large as shown in the LEGO games for instance. I don't feel the mass has to be that of the full sized Brachio. They can easily get away with scaling it down a bit and still make it work. Anyway, we'll see soon enough. I'm actually hoping we'll get both brick built and moulded down the line, so that everyone gets what they want, despite what comes first this time around.

There more I think about it, the more I think there's a chance we might get a moulded Brachiosaur. TLG must surely be aware that there is a demand for it. As far as I know it's the only main dino (well, apart from Stego, Spino and Parasaurolophus) that hasn't been made from the original trilogy, and it certainly is one of the most important and iconic from the first classic movie. And the one set that did have a brick-built T-rex recently, was an 18+ set, with a dinosaur that had already had many iterations of moulded interpretations (same mould, I know, but with many different paint jobs). A moulded Brachio would be a bigger hit with most kids too, I imagine - also meaning bigger sales numbers. It better matches the LEGO dinos people already have and the one that has been represented in the LEGO games - the model even exists already. I believe the main cost of this set to be the Brachio, then 2 or 3 minifigs and a simple version of the car. That's the scene. I don't know if they'll include the tree from which the Brachio tears a leaf from or not. Trying not to get my hopes up too much here (haha, I'm fooling myself), but logically I do think there's a chance we might get this. Fingers crossed.

Apparently they're doing a hat/hair combo for Indy 5. If that's true, there's hope they might have done it for Alan Grant also. I'm definitely wanting this too.

Ah, I would LOOOVE a set with the bridge and the knight! Good call!!
-
C-a-n-'t w-a-i-t for these sets. I believe the TLG plans to bankrupt me next year. With Indy returning, Jurassic Park, Disney 100, Lotr back, and surely lots of Marvel and Star Wars and other surprises... I might have to skip eating next year in order to get all this stuff....

I love these news! And finally we get a Brachio. But I have to say, if it´s brick built I don´t want it. It NEEDS to be molded. I love the t-rex breakout, but not the t-rex in it. I´ve put my original molded one in the set instead, fits so much better. To me, if it´s not molded, it´s kinda pointless… I feel like now is the time. They´re finally rolling out all these sets based on the original movie. They KNOW a lot of fans want the molded dinos. If they don´t do it now, they´ll never do it… But if they do…my wallet´s gonna bleed next year lol…. For why get just 1 molded Brachio, if you can get 2. Or 3…
