I'd like to share my concept if Lego ever decides to take on a Numenor design (third age, of course): -

Exabricks has confirmed that more is coming, so we know it’s at least soon enough for leakers to know that something is coming. The question now is simply what that something is. -
Marvel Superheroes 2024 - Rumors & Discussion
PsychoBuilder replied to Clone OPatra's topic in LEGO Licensed
Very strange thing to bring up, but has anyone mentioned that in the Fortnite Deadpool and Wolverine collab, Wolverine got a Lego variant whereas Deadpool did not? That feels like a pretty definitive piece of evidence that Lego isn’t willing to do a Deadpool, since this conversation seems to still be going—I haven’t been too religiously reading the forum, so I can’t speak on what’s going on. -

Minisuperheroes today received the whole August wave today, so I have to imagine we’ll start seeing reviews pretty soon. Dunno how much we’ll find out from this, but I’m at least looking forward to seeing the Milano and the Benatar together. -

I mean anniversaries really don’t mean much to the Lego Star Wars team, they kinda just do what they do when they wanna do it. -

Didn’t occur to me till just now but it’s hilarious that the first representation of a Mikkelson character is not Mads -

Conceptually, there are many scenes that don’t rely on each other, yes, absolutely, I agree. What I meant was that structurally, it doesn’t make much sense. Every set’s either gonna end up with a bunch of pieces to try to fit it with the other sets, which is gonna both drive the price up massively and look kinda ugly if you don’t have the other sets, which is partially why Hogwarts works—every set is its own complete building. I’m still working on that Minas Tirith design right now—there isn’t an easy way to make the set look like a good display piece, as the other two have, without using a ton of pieces to make a solid structure. The very frustrating thing about Minas Tirith is not the shape of the walls, which are workable, albeit bit annoying. To me, the big issue has been getting the floors of the upper levels done—it’s not like just a series of walls combined is gonna quite get the job done, to me. The set needs a series of elevated floors to actually capture the city and be more than a facade. But even beyond that, if the set is just designed for play and you stick with the facade option, you’re still gonna need a big chunk of structure for it to look right. That might be an okay option for a Minas Tirith with 3-4 levels, provided players are done, but it’s not gonna be better than a D2C with dedicated floors, and will probably still be fairly expensive. Okay, that was a lot with no clear thesis, sorry, I’m done now -

I really don't think this would quite work, tbh. Hogwarts works because it's spread out over an enormous area and has several distinct buildings that do not rely on each other. Every set is a standalone set that can be but does not necessarily have to be combined to be a successful set. Let's say you have the Clock Tower and the Great Hall--you can still say you have a "Hogwarts" setup even if you don't have the Astronomy Tower. A Minas Tirith probably wouldn't be able to work that way--the set would look incomplete without the full design. And then you have further issues such as a lack of memorable interior scenes (which works for Hogwarts given the massive amount of source material), desirability to kids, etc.
