Those are awesome. I wish they'd release some American Muscle cars though, Just2good vey off topic and I'm sorry if it has been asked before but will you be releasing images of City sets soon? Just subscribed to your channel by the way!

Modular Building Sets - Rumours and Discussion
Rob1321 replied to The Jersey Brick Guy's topic in LEGO Town
Newish to LEGO. AFOL I guess you would say. Are Modulars meant to be used in City layouts or are they more for display purposes to be combined with other modular sets? Sorry if OT. -
Are you serious? It is all DISNEY. Disney is calling ALL of the shots here. Do you not know of Disney and their history? Look at their documentary on what they did to the "Emperor's New Groove". Bro, the only and I mean only reason we are getting a female mando graffiti artist who wears pink is for marketing reasons. You really need to do some research on Disney. This guy gets it

I'm pretty sure the ITT battle pack has Rebels printed on the bottom. Could be wrong though. https://mobedal.wordpress.com/2014/09/15/leaked-2015-lego-sets/#jp-carousel-246 I'm newish here so I hope I don't get in trouble for the link. It was posted earlier I believe in another thread. Scroll down to the Star Wars sets and the ITT clearly shows "Rebels" on the box.

What series/movie/tv show are the Shadow Troopers based off of?
-
Very disappointed. Both the Beach Hut and Toy Grocery shop look like trash. They seem too European (no offense) or I don't even know how to describe it. Just ugh.
-
Thanks man! I appreciate it! Easier to just search the set number up top. A bit underwhelmed. Crook shelter is a must buy for me though.

Dang, missed out on the pics.

More sets ruined by those lame blasters. Thanks lego.

A lot of these numbers are speculative at best and some guesses. No way of telling who adults are buying for. Especially if you're buying at a local store. Sure, they have surveys but they don't tell the whole story. And of course LEGO can't please everyone. But an adult line with various themes would be awesome. Of course I don't believe my opinion is neither right or wrong. Just my opinion on the matter.

Just because adults don't make up a huge chunk of the market does not mean we don't account for a good amount of their sales. For example, a child buys 3-5 minor sets in about an year worth about $20-$45 dollars a piece, where as an adult will buy a couple of modular sets worth $200 dollars a piece. So an adult already spent about double what an average child would spend in an year. Not to mention buying road plates and various other sets just to start off a little city moc. Also consider the Star Wars line, a child normally buys 2-3 battle packs and plays with them for a couple of months and forgets about them. An adult on the other hand buys 3-15 battle packs for their mocs. Not all adults but plenty do. So as I said, adults spend a lot of money on LEGO. Adults are responsible for this site and the rising popularity of LEGO. Just look at how big LEGO has become at various cons and such. To many children LEGO is just a part of childhood which they eventually outgrow, but us adults have been here and will continue to be here even after various trends pass. We will try our best to keep LEGO alive. Sure, LEGO isn't struggling now, but that doesn't mean that one day they won't. Especially with all of these new technologies available to children. Video games/electronics etc etc. My point is simple, LEGO does have an adult market, and a prominent one at that, I believe it would be foolish of them to ignore that.

I agree and disagree with many of the things posted above. But I also find it hard to believe LEGO can't come up with something more interesting than cops and robbers for the city line. I just think it's a step in the wrong direction.
-
Thank you! Greatly appreciated.
-
WOW, that's awesome.
-
Thank you for the feedback. I do enjoy miniatures however LEGO always pulls me back in. Something about them that I just love. Maybe it's the kid in me. I would love to see a 1930s theme/line or even a prospector/gold rush theme. Would be really exciting. I agree with everything you have said.
-
By the way I'm also not saying LEGO is a childlike hobby, I'm 23 and love LEGO. Just wish could see more adult oriented themes/sub themes.
-
Kind of a newbie question here but are these sets already finished? Are they ready for market just not released yet? Seeing as LEGO released pics of a 2015 Star Wars Rebels set I figured they had sets finished some time in advanced before releasing them to market. Fairly new to LEGO so any info would be appreciated.

I'm kind of tired of the "made for kids" excuse. Does anyone know how many adults buy Lego? Like what % of market they make up? To me LEGO is getting stale and boring. Especially with so many themes aimed at children. Sure, LEGO probably is for kids, but a kid probably buys 1 or 2 cheap sets where as an adult buys 3-5 moderately priced to expensive sets. I just think LEGO needs to take a better look at their market. They're LEGO for crying out loud. I find it hard to believe that all they can come up with is the same old boring cops/robbers theme. More buildings is most def what we need. How about micro apartments? Small but fully sized houses? Some Hot Rods? Old fashioned gas stations? Motorcycle shop? (a cool one a la 70s biker). How about a small radio station out in the desert? That would be an awesome/fun little build. Maybe LEGO just isn't for me. Maybe I should find another more adult friendly hobby. Sigh. For what its worth though I believe the new small cottage/hut theme in the Creator line is a step in the right direction. Also loving the dual shop theme. Def excited to see 2015s hut and dual shops.

This thread was a bigger buzz kill than Buzz Killington.

I for one love the stylized faces and hope they keep making more.

Damn, missed out on the pics.
