    With the recent Ninjago and Superheroes leaks, is it possible that we'll see next year's NK set list, if there is one, earlier than usual?

    Hello and welcome!

    Like I said before, the Elf is probably winning it all. Every round with him in it was a blowout.

    I generally don't approve of buying clone themes but this is a great concept. That molten raptor really is something. I'm also envious that you have access to the summer wave already, as they're still over a month away on this side of the pond.

    Neat build, the legs are definitely a highlight. I like the story as well. However, I think the mech needs a bigger weapon. The current one is much too small and it frankly looks like Lavaria is about to pick her teeth.

    Nice work. I like the design of the thrones, very classy. I think the build could be improved if the towers and such weren't identical on both sides. The Dragon tower especially could use some brown pieces as that was a main color of the faction.

    Fantastic work as usual, Hinck, although I'm confused to how that surfboard can support the weight of the troll.

    King has regained the lead ?
  10. BrickJagger
    Fixed!

    I believe so. The previous high was 78 iirc.

    What an odd choice for a promo. The "Vacation" set had quite a strange assortment of bricks as well.

    Is it licensed?

    You should have voted for the Viking Woman...

    Can something be done about Silent-Commando? Sir Von Lego, Sci and Tragic Banjo have all denounced his obviously fake set lists. It makes this thread very hard to read when most of it is a wild goose chase.

    Is the Alien Villainess the last Space figure left?

    Welcome to the boards, Arnold.

    I disagree. Fantasy Era seems to have sold well, hence the three year run, and from what I can see it still seems to be quite popular even eight years after its discontinuation. Nexo looks like it is going to run for the same length. Also, wasn't Fantasy Era supposed to go longer than three years? From what I've pieced together by reading through old rumor threads it looks like there was a large wave (possibly containing Elves) was planned for 2009, but it seems to have been cut short right as it was announced that a Hobbit film would be coming soon. Kingdoms acted as a filler line to create space between the very similar themes that were FE and LOTR/TH.

    Leprechaun and Roman Soldier for me. Geez Itaria, I daresay those selections in the third poll are the worst yet. All are awful choices.

    If Creator is the only way we can continue to get Castle sets, so be it, as long as there are new factions introduced. I'm worried that Lego won't ever go back to Castle after NK, and if that happened I would stop buying their products in any form.

    Their main goal is to make as much money as possible, which is why every new theme they roll out is a tried and true concept or an adaption of an already popular franchise. Lego really isn't into taking risks, and to me that's one of their biggest drawbacks. Just so @Nabii knows, if TLG decides after NK's run to scrap Castle the same way they did Space, they'll be losing the business of quite a few members of this forum, including myself. Following trends might be profitable to an extent but we all know what happened in 2003. Lego might claim that Space is "taking a break" or something, but it's increasingly obvious that it's dead as a doornail and won't be coming back until Star Wars is done pumping out films (never). Lego used to be much more varied than it is today, and it's pretty sad to think about how far they've fallen since not even five years ago. There used to be tons of different options: Pirates, Space, Power Miners, Atlantis, Dino, Monster Fighters, Castle, etc. but here in 2017 all we have for non-licensed themes are City/Friends, Elves and Nexo Knights. All of Lego's resources are being diverted to pump out massive numbers of generic and overpriced licensed sets. Lego is supposed to inspire creativity, and I see none being emitted from those sets. If Lego wants to sell out, fine. However, I hope they know that they've destroyed their own message and it will eventually come back to bite them when Star Wars/Superheroes stop doing big numbers in the box office and the generation that grew up with Ninjago graduates high school.

    So are you saying that Nexo is a failure or are you referring to what traditional Castle fans think about it? I for one would love to know how well it's selling so we can have a more definitive discussion about the future of Castle. Is there going to be a third year of Nexo?
  24. BrickJagger
    Looks like your curse has returned

    I think the main difference in opinion between everyone here is whether the next Castle theme should be fantasy-based or realistic. I'm still upset that TLG never got around to making Elves in 2009, and I would love to see a second Fantasy including them, as well as much more of the underrepresented Dwarves. I'd be down for five factions total: Good Humans, Elves, Evil Humans, Evil Dwarves and Goblins. I don't know if all of that could be accomplished in three years, but then again it's not a confirmed fact that Castle themes come in three year cycles, even if there is evidence to support that recently.
