José's Inn - Ye Olde BoBS Drinking Hole

If they'd only repurpose that patronus construct. -
LEGO Monkie Kid 2020
gedren_y replied to Classic_Spaceman's topic in LEGO Action and Adventure Themes
With all the discussion about LEAF being an augmented reality theme, with the story likely to be largely played out on people's devices, LEGO Media and Gaming might be the board it ultimately gets housed on. This all seems like a cross between Time Cruisers and the LEGO Dimensions game, without the need for a console system. -
I went back and counted, there are 18 set numbers listed for LEAF. If this is an AR theme as expected, then the finalized sets could have been ready for quite some time. The known set numbers might constitute 2-3 waves.

The problem with resurrecting old molds is that most have became worn with use, so that they would need to be recut. Nostalgia sets don't generally sell well enough to warrant such production costs. There are a few I would have LEGO restore, but only because more recent parts would make them infinitely more usable. There are also some new molds that I'd like be made based on older molds, like a log wall version of the 1x6x5 panel, or maybe even a 1x4x5 version. This way current LEGO build techniques could be used in conjunction with the older aesthetic so many are nostalgic for.

I was going through images of the upcoming Trolls sets, and saw a centaur fig. It is a pale blue, with what looks like an orange tail. The shape is a bit cartoony for Castle, but at least we now know that LEGO can make one that fits the standard torso.

The Crahaish neh Triuri wish to make a bid for the return of the Glittering Wind. @Bregir are you the one to negotiate with?

Do I see a Shakespeare themed series in the future?

Could his antlers be removable?

Or we could be getting a minidolls Pirates theme. I have put forward this theory before, and think it may be entirely plausible. Look at the spread of the types of Friends sets in the past few years. If Leaf (14 known set numbers) is an upcoming Pirates type theme, we cannot discount this possibility.

So are the first two Home Alone movies. @Robert8 could we be getting a Kevin fig?

LEGO Collectable Minifigures Future Series Rumours
gedren_y replied to r4-g9's topic in Special LEGO Themes
From what I can tell, the main DC license seems to have some slightly higher costs associated with it. There may even be some parts that can only be used within the license (that lantern seems likely). A number of the molds might never even get used again (Flash's helmet). -

LEGO Collectable Minifigures Future Series Rumours
gedren_y replied to r4-g9's topic in Special LEGO Themes
I like the specialty hand piece they use for Aquaman. A proper lantern piece for Green Lantern and Sinestro is also nice. I'd need a better look at the prints to make a decision on some of the other figs. It's all about usefulness for me. -
Ninjago already did a fantasy heavy Sky Pirates.

Lovely.

LEGO Collectable Minifigures Future Series Rumours
gedren_y replied to r4-g9's topic in Special LEGO Themes
In the US you are unlikely to find variations in base cost between LEGO vendors any greater than $0.05, and most companies that can afford to consistently undercut LEGO Shop@Home prices are nationwide stores that keep said prices consistent. The greatest variation would be in the local sales tax, but those variations wouldn't be likely to offset the cost of interstate (or even neighboring county) travel. The US does not have the robust rail transit that Europe does. In any event, as I stated earlier, I think the $4.99 USD price will be limited to the DC series. -
Brethren of the Brick Seas (BoBS) Intro Thread, Era II
gedren_y replied to Bregir's topic in Brethren of the Brick Seas
A thread where each player maintains a sngle post to keep a log of their characters (with links to relevant threads) would do this nicely. A link in the Master Index would keep it from cluttering the board. All that the volunteer would have to do is link each player's post next to their name, preferably organized by faction. Spoiler tags would help reduce wasted search effort. Example of what I mean: [First post/list] (Faction name) ------------------------------------------------------------- [Player's post] (Character name) ------------------------------------------------------------- With the onus on the players, the administrative work load becomes minimal. I'd call it The BOBS Character Logbook. -
I've used a similar trick to create night skies for some of my builds, a huge book instead of computer screen.

LEGO Collectable Minifigures Series 20. Rumors and discussion
gedren_y replied to Robert8's topic in Special LEGO Themes
I would think that they would wait until a miniature elephant mold gets made to reuse that costume head mold. -

Good build music is something that can be played in the background. Bill Douglas, The Boston Pops, Collective Soul, Enya, Enigma, Sacred Spirits, Dirty Vegas, Incubus, John Mayer, and even the Theme from X-Files would make it into a building playlist. -
So, what are Leaf, IP-2 and Zebra?
gedren_y replied to Itaria No Shintaku's topic in Special LEGO Themes
Pretty much. All we really have are set numbers, and a lot of speculation. -

If we're upside-down, then you're downside-up. -

Kai also lists Chile in the country section of her profile. That's South America. I actually live where you're describing. Florida is still warm enough that I have to use the air conditioning in the afternoon. -
I think he's asking you to consider doing a movie characters CMF series. He seems to be conflating actors/characters. The one you highlighted in the quote is from Dana Carvey's The Master of Disguise.
