Mott the Brick

Well it was a nice voyage, but I guess we can now say goodbye to the West!!!

Are you sure you want to sell ALL that stuff? Lots of money and perhaps good memories and time sure went into that. Maybe you can consider it carefully or just sell not all of it?

Man such a shame to hear that! I wanted a new wave...... . But I am not surprised but kept some little slight hope that Lego might just release more sets. Well we never got Minas Tirith, Witch King with Fell Beast and Eowyn, no Cirith Ungol, no Grond, Oliphant, Osgiliath, Mountain trolls, Balrog and bridge of Khazad-dum, Guardian of Moria, Lothlorien, Treebeard, Mount Doom, more of Shire, prancing pony, amon hen, and (insert new location or item). Sigh, lots of things left that could have made a last few quick buck off this franchise. Maybe in the near future, some sets could be released again just like with the Harry Potter line......

For me its 7879 Hoth Echo Base. Not an exciting choice of minifigures and needs Hoth rebel troopers. Then it doesn't help that the set doesn't really look good.

Well thank you for responding. I was thinking about a new theme about sports. I wasn't sure where was the appropriate place. Next time I'll try to make a better title. Thanks for the advice.

A football theme with licenses on the players likenesses. Basically make stadiums such as Santiago Bernabeu and the Emirates, plus an assortment of the teams. Mostly do it on the more important teams. I think those sets would sell well, especially if they use the old feature of the Lego Sports theme. I would also like to see several old sets being re-released.

Why has no one responded???

Hmmm, a good question. I think I'd rather go with limit amount. To be quite frank I wouldn't even pay 10 dollars for a 3 pack of minifigures. Heck The Toy Story Army Men set or a Star wars battle pack has more minifigures and some little vehicle or structure for roughly the same or a lesser amount of money. With the 6 for 10, then I'll consider to buy it as that is a MUCH better deal. In fact my trick to get around the no purchasing more after that is to visit the store at some other time and pay with cash rather than a credit card. Or have a family member or friend pay it for you while you have made those minifigures. Hehehe. You're more than welcome to use those tactics when purchasing minifigs in Germany. By the way does anyone else know how much do the minifigures cost here in the UK?

I don't know much , but the whole affair does sound indeed a bit suspicious. So now in Germany you can only buy that amount of minifigures once? I think that you can't buy 60 minifigures because you'll leave the store without much of a supply. On the website, it does sound like they are indeed limiting minifigures heavily. On a side note I think it's amazing that you can buy 6 for 10 euros! Its not a bad value. I remember that back in the lego store in the U.S. you could only buy 3 minifigures for 10 dollars.

Well what the picture was showing wasn't a custom minifigure, but an already existing minifgure being displayed in a couple of backgrounds. So technically I think it's safe to say that it is in the right place. I think...

Hello, just a quick question. I am unsure as to where to post a topic on an idea for a new Lego theme. Is there any topics specifically for that?

Buffalo Springfield, good ole' rock!

I think I would like to see some of the old masks and more technic-styled pieces.

I have several favourites. I have gone through several phases of collecting but in retrospect I guess they could be amongst castle, mars mission, star wars, Middle-earth sets, and bionicle. However there are several sets that I missed out because I was a bit young so I'm currently looking for them. I also have to say that some sets looked amazing, but unfortunately I couldn't get my hands on them for being too young. Those being Classic Space, Classic Castle, and Adventurers.

You can make your own Gondor soldiers and they ain't hard. Of course, one would appreciate if thy were to make them but you can make them using minifigures from Fantasy Era and Kingdoms lines.
