I didn't say that every themes are best as one-and-done, only the ones that were set to be that, and that they should considering going back to that with 'some' future original themes.

While having things outside of those monsters we already see would be great. I think Monster Side (along with other themes that had a single wave or year) was the best to not overstay it's welcome, as I think many themes are best as having short waves rather than long ones.

Yeah. And besides, isn't Monster fighters meant to be a one and done type of theme like Dino and Pharaoh's Quest? Just have a single wave or year and nothing else.

The first wave of sets I think will be timeless (especially the school), but the 2nd wave I believe will hurt it going forward but the lighthouse from it I can see being timeless (as it look so much better compare to other lighthouse from previous years IMO). App game on the other hand would definitely be forgotten, even that gimmick on the sets used for the app.

You are ignoring the part in the brothers-brick interview where 'violence' was also in there, so the gun thing still holds weight. Not to mention all the licensed IP (along with their own) that breaks this rule, especially licensed with Indiana Jones, Overwatch, Superhero Star Wars etc. They keep talking about these moral rules but always break their own rule they set for themselves.

So I saw Jangbricks video pointing out a contradiction between interview with both brickset and brothers-brick. LEGO keeps saying that "warfare and violence is something that the LEGO Group will never support." All the while they have many gun elements as can easily be seen in the 'Minifigure, Weapon' section on bricklink, not to mention having both Star Wars and Overwatch themes. Which have a large thing of violence (Especially Clone Wars that was killing clones and other characters like it was going out of style). I have no care about brickarms, if they say they just want to have only official LEGO elements on bricklink, than I would be fine with it. But the contradiction is what I have a problem, along with the "don't want warfare and violence" that always say while still breaking that rule is what I'm getting really annoyed of.

I only like half of those none-police/firefighter sets, the other half are meh. The Street Sweeper: Really nice, good use of those gear pieces while the brush pieces are being place on the side. Mail Plane: pretty rare to see the post office, this is the 4th if I'm current. And I agree with Dominic that it feels vintage. Monster Truck: Real smart use of those yellowish green pieces while Hidden Side is around to use them. But though it have a nice color scheme, something's missing that it feels meh to me. Ice Cream Truck: This is a lot better than the Pizza Van, the color scheme really make the set shine, though I think replacing the bright light orange with dark pink improve it greatly. I really love the reused of Queen Watevra face piece. Racing Boat Transporter: Don't have much to say about this. The boat is meh, the truck is pretty bad, that technic piece is really standing out badly. Safari Off-Roader: Amaze that I don't see at least one of the zebra printing used in Joker's Lowrider (70906) being reused. It's a pretty good looking set. Let us hope that this is either hinting or at least testing the water with safari.

The portal connection may still continue, notice that the two open stud on the back are curved cutout (35044) and so there may or may not be 4 open stud connection with those tiles inside the portal door.

I could see them bring back one of the Knights Kingdom character (like Cedric The Bull) in Hidden Side version of a castle that been turned into a museum. Rather than the ghost possessing people, they possess empty suits of armor. That would be an awesome flagship for a wave.

Agree that the sets feel very lacking without an extra non-possessed civilian minifigure. They could had added one easily by taking out either Jack or Parker in Subway, Lighthouse and Ghost Fair, I would've been fine if the minifig reused rare/uncommon prints. (like sneaking that Galidor print into the Ghost Fair)

This new wave is a major disappointment besides for the lighthouse and plane. Cons: -I find it both funny and sad that they just down right gave up on hiding that phone gimmick after the wave, especially in the portal where it stand out badly. At least if you don't want it to be their, you can easily skip on that part (or in case of the lighthouse, replace a piece). -I'm really disappoint that the main 2 only got new headwear, no new clothes (not counting the portal) especially sense those same clothes have been used in all of the first wave sets. -speaking of headwear, Parker's hair looks really strange and unfitting, especially with the big headphones; I think Anna hair from the CMF would been a lot more fitting. -The Subway Station I though was a sewer at first sight, poorly design and easy to skip set (I'm thinking about making my own remake of it, because a subway at $30 sound like it would be a cheapest set to get 1 of those train track pieces). -Ghost Fair look pretty over price, seem that it should've been $5-10 less. -Buggy suspension are too high and not a interesting set. Pros: -I really like Jack's headwear, and see that we could get TLNM Cole's hair without the cap at some point. I honestly though he would have Finn's hair in brown. -The plane looks amazing with a really good color scheme, a lot better than the Stunt Truck. -Different color ghost, though their only in one set. I would add having green ghost again but hoping they plan on doing a change of ghost color every 2 waves.

I really don't like this change from the original, with it now being more brick than technic now. This could had honestly been a spark to bring in new things for the Technic line instead of always doing vehicles; like what have been done back in 1999-2002 with things like throwbots/slizer, bionicle and some star wars sets being big Technic figures (not those creepy human shape heads CCBS/Ultrabuild figure we got a few years back). Sadly because of this choice, I'm not picking this set up. I'm not a dinosaur fan, but the design choice of it being Technic was what gotten me interested, and now it became a small part of the design.

I honestly think TV 6+ could remain exclusively to those mega city sets and part of a sit build, while the news subtheme focus on a different news company, could be call something like 2x2 news, thus another thing of why I brought up the color scheme. I didn't say that all of them have the be a male, half of it could be a male news report and the other half female. Like the female could be in the helicopter, male in the Weather Unite and both in the station.

Than please, bring more thing up about your news idea outside of just the name of the set and what in it. There other thing to bring up from minifigure design, color scheme and what new/returning parts could come in it. Speaking of color scheme, Do you think it would be a good idea for the news subtheme color scheme to be change to not have the white and blue that police also have, sense those 2 color are pretty much seen every year. Maybe it could be orange or coral with white or black. As with minifigure, I think it would be good for Fred Finley printings to be reused again and place in some cheaper set rather than making something new.

@CMFanatic That what I was thinking of doing (besides the bat part) with having the tent, fire place and a tree or two. (also the marshmallow would be baby heads). I think targeting it as around $15 would be best as I think 5 minifig would be fitting (3 campers, counselor and monster costume), I also have an idea of currently used faces the campers could have --1--2--3-- and I could easy see Hidden Side Mr. Branson face working perfectly for the counselor, having that look of hear than getting a chuckle after seeing the scared looks on the campers faces. Also as I brought up that I was thinking of having a boy vs. girl of two different camp but it seem best to throw that idea out and stick with a single camp. Though what should the name of the camp be? I was thinking either Shouting Bear or Swampy Brick.

@CMFanatic I think I have an idea for the now renamed 'Scary Campfire Story' of it having 5 minifigure (3 camper, 1 counselor, 1 monster custom), however when I start working on these fan concept sets, I may need to find some help with this set for the design of the tent and the monster. With the design of the monster, I thinking the new tentacles from the HS would be a good choice with either Ursula or Hades legs and using the angler headwear would be a good choice for the counselor to tell a scary story about the swamp monster to jump behind the campers. The color scheme could be a mix of dark green and (sand or dark) blue. @pooda With your news subtheme idea, despite the small size, what do you think about the idea of using the Ninjago tornado piece for some of the weather related sets? They actually do in fact, not everywhere but they are in the US, I gotten a Ninjago magazine last year at Lowe's. What about having that as part of a park playground set? Half the set is a park and the other half is a playground system thing.

Yes but that 4 minifigure, we're talking about 6 in a minifigure pack that come with smaller things on the side, not a vehicle or some large build with them.

No, he was talking about the cape, he called the piece on the headwear a "feather". Sad there is little-to-nothing of new moulds that could be used for things other than city and future CMF stuff.

Really great series ya made here, wish LEGO did more stuff like these in their series than what we're getting now. The Dark Fairy is my most favorite in series P, the hair and choice of color is really great and love how there is pretty much no black on this one likely LEGO Evil CMF figure who are pretty much most to all black. The Cyclist is pretty much the weakest of them if the Snorkeler accessory didn't same him.

Time to share my thoughts. 1. Let's Player 7/10 - So we're getting a jacksepticeye minifigure when he had green hair, lots of reference and the more I'm getting annoyed of seeing them and not seeing an original space theme. I like the jacket thought it's a very poor choice of blue, I think the normal blue could had look a lot better, especially sense he's wearing a classic space jacket. I agree with @Itaria No Shintaku about the tile for the game is way too big, a 1 x 2 (maybe a 2 x 2) tile should been used, and we finally gotten that controller we been seeing on LEGO website on the game section. 2. Shower Guy 5/10 - Though I like that there nothing on the minifig body to he can fit into the beach, but at the same time I don't like it because this is the CMF and he's bland outside from the tower, they should have took the idea from @Robert8 Series O shower guy by having some drops of water and soap. I do like the duck in a different color, sense we're already getting yellow in City. 3. Ghostly Knight - Fantastic minifigure, despite that I'm not a fan of the face and the trans-light blue sword 4. Monkey King 9/10 - Besides the creepy grin face, it's a pretty great looking minifigure and to be fair, you can't really do much with the accessory 5. Robotics Engineer 2/10- Booooring, who be seen in a city set if it wasn't for the shirt in binary to make LEGO, they could had at least change the hair color to an unlikely one we would get like tan or dark orange. (despite that I do not like that hair piece) 6. Mummy Lady 8/10 - I agree with all that @Robert8 said about the mummy, though I don't like the cheap accessory, I would had like if the accessory was the return of the Serpent Staff or Shield Scarab in copper. 7. Johnny Thunder 6/10 - "This is what we're getting for the Adventurer 2 years late 20th anniversary is it..." Honestly I do like how they got a minifigure to go long with another in the same series. Like the other two said, the accessory is pretty cheap (we know that animal is hinting at Disney CMF series 3) and the minifigure overall is ok. 8. Firefighter 3/10 - I already know the exact reason they made this is for that named City character in that new show. With this being in the CMF and it being female, they could had made the torso female shape and stand out from all the firefighter uniform we're getting from the city sets, sense we're already getting a lot of that torso in that theme. 9. Dog Sitter 5/10 - Poop... they made a new piece that is poop... "We could have use the money to many a new headwear for Johnny Thunder clone or new hair for the coder or something better than the rainbow bear, BUT WE NEED THAT POOP!" Besides that poop rant, the new dog is really nice but minifigure is a down right can seen is any city sets, they could had done something to make it fit the Dog Sitter like they did with the Dog Show Winner, even just a single dog treat, it's still something. 10. Pizza Guy - "Wow a Pizza Costume, didn't see that one coming" besides me dislike of he costume figures, there nothing bad about this guy, I do like the face and I kinda hoping that the pizza printing is also on the back... you all know why. 11. Bounty Hunter 8/10- I honestly though I wasn't gonna like this figure, but it's really great looking outside of the helmet printing, that part looks pretty boring, and I agree with the other two who doing this that the Wanted Holo should had been something other than Mr. Smile. 12. Retiree 2/10 - This is 2nd worse, as @Robert8 said, this could have been in any city set, if they wanted to make get a Flamingo into CMF, they could had easily do a Zoo Keeper Guy (sense we already gotten a female Zoo Keeper long ago) 13. Rugby Player 5/10 - Nice to see LEGO doing sports stuff that I don't know of or forgot they even existed, the minifigure is nice with the face kinda looking like he's about to pass out from lack of sleep. We already know what that ball is gonna be reuse for. Though sense they already made a football player, I'm guessing the next one is gonna be called 'red football player' like with the red cheerleader. 14. Fox Suit Girl 6/10 - I don't like costumes minifigures, this one is okay and I see we're not getting a LEGO Movie series 3 CMF. The chicken is nice being a different color. 15. Rainbow Bear 1/10 - The is honestly the worse in this series, it's painfully obvious that this was thrown in the last minute. Though the rainbow tile is nice, it doesn't save it. 16. BMX Biker 7/10 - "I can already see the Australian hating this minifigure " It's an alright minifig with that nice looking hair/helmet combo, really didn't think we would see a dirt bike being used in CMF (latter we be seeing a motorcycle).Though the glasses are the only thing I don't like, really not a fan of it. This series honestly feel like a lazy way to bring in new accessory and headwear for licensed CMF and sets (mostly city), only three minifig (Monkey King, Mummy and Lat's Player) stand out in this series while the others are just boring, the series is really disappointing. I really hope that series 20 will make a comeback.

I can't play the app anyways as I only have a flip phone, and the game would be unplayable on BlueStacks anyways.

I have a few ideas for future battle packs, even made me own concepts models. Sith Battle Pack Minifigure - 2 Sith Apprentice, 1 Sith Master and 1 Sith Lord (Sith Pureblood) Model - Speeder Jedi Battle Pack Minifigure - Jedi Master, 2 Jedi Knights, Padawan Model - 2 Dwarf Spider Droid Wookies Battle Pack Minifigure - 4 Wookies (2 with armor and 2 without) Model - HummBike (from Galactic Battlegrounds) and Turret Kashyyyk Battle Droids Minifigure - 4 B1 Battle Droid & 2 B2 Super Battle Droid Model - STAP, Tree and Turret Ewok Battlepack Minifigure - 4 Ewok Model - Glider and Catapult Gungan Battlepack Minifigure - 4 Gungans Model - Catapult Note: I think I see why we haven't gotten a Gungan Catapult set.

I plan to make fan concept mocs of the scouts at some point, but so far in planning out I only got Minifigure Scout Pack (include 4 scout and a small campfire build) and Boat Race/Fishing Competition (also include 4 scouts but include two small boats) and we already know there be a Scout House. I could see the scout minifigure making reference to Camp Lazlo with the uniforms. I honestly can't see LEGO making a nod to the Flying Legandos besides them being in a sticker of them in a picture, because I couldn't see a chunk of minifigure in a people pack having the same torso printing but with different letter doing well.

Sense city is doing stuff outside of the city (even though that defeat the purpose of it being called 'LEGO City'), but related to forest/park, what about a wave focus on Boy/Girl Scouts, the sets could be a Boys vs. Girls of two different camps. It would bring in a lot more life to the forest section of City and better than mining that we got during the Mountain Police wave.

Saw some of the reviews and see those ghost hair with gape in the back, anyone thinking we're going to see those hair again but backwards to cove the face except for a eye?
