    Boba Fett. Like...duh! Who else?

    That's a Far Side comic.

    Oh wow! That's good! That should be written down as a famous quote. I must admit I never visit the action forum that much, (Sci Fi and train forums mostly for me) but your topic gives me a great reason to visit more often! I have a lot of lengthy, detailed ideas for some action themes which I'm looking forward to sharing with everyone, as well as viewing other's ideas. Cheers.

    Tie fighter pilot.

    Hey @VaderFan2187! I decided to join in on the game. My pic is TFA C-P3O.

    Glad to hear it!
  7. Trekkie99
    This is a likely possibility.

    Agreed. Now when people post MOCs on that forum their MOCs get more traffic because the forum gets more traffic because of the traffic from the poll/guessing games. So it's a good thing, and it's fun. I enjoy them as well and it's also nice to hear that staff touched base with @Itaria No Shintaku to sort out any debate on the topic. I'm not much of a Star Wars fan, (as you know @VaderFan2187 ) but I do greatly enjoy your Super Heroes poll! And as you have pointed out, they (the polls) are a lot of work, but I think you, @Itaria No Shintaku, and others do a splendid job at it! And we the community thank you guys for organizing these fun and enjoyable games! Have fun, and thank you.

    Also shows up for Silk. Maybe the problem is remedied?

    The encouragement from Lego to promote creativity to kids has seemed to dwindle lately. Lego sets seem to becoming a simple toy that needs "much assembly required".

    Black panther & Supergirl for me
  12. Trekkie99
    Noooooooooo!!!

    Agreed. All these games and TV shows are bad for kids IMO and for Lego to encourage it is unfortunate. Also, (as you have pointed out) there is the "gimmicky" aspect of products and merchandise that goes with the theme. Once the theme is discontinued and replaced the whole process starts over again. It seems TLG is turning into one of those "American big Corps" as well as adopting their way of business.

    One must ask though, what is a big bang theme? As you see in the quote below I hypothesize what a BBT would be without everything that goes with it and what the result would be.
  15. Trekkie99
    Fascinating. This should be brought to the attention of TLG. But I wouldn't say 100% exact IMO. There are some clear differences between the real thing and the counterfeit. But unless one has a keen eye and watches out for these sort of things it may very well go unnoticed.

    Mariachi and King for me. As of writing this, they're clearly the winners!

    I've embedded the video.

    If Lego did stop production of castle themes it'd be a petty choice. Also, if you want to talk about giving up on something why does Lego continue making BBTs which will never (I think) top ninjago? All they do is take up time and money from TLG and attention from ninjago. Reminds me of the "no classic space because of Star Wars" discussion.

    Yes, this concept needs to be applied to trains as well. Individual trains, cargo cars, hopper cars, etc. Agreed! I think this option has so much capability and that it's can be the answer to every thing we want. Fingers crossed! Things have changed for how kids play nowadays. But than again, why is city successful? And why should we assume that BBTs can survive without the TV shows and everything that goes with them? Would they seize to be big bang themes and simply be plain old "themes"? Then in turn, would kids (not relying on some TV show) be encouraged to create their own storylines, plots, characters, etc.? In short, would kids be encouraged to think for themselves? YES.
  20. Trekkie99
    Can't wait to see what the pack looks like!
  21. Trekkie99
    Whoa! Is this for real or someone's idea of a sick joke? I hope it's not the latter! Apparently @Digger of Bricks was right! But why was it removed?
  22. Trekkie99
  23. Trekkie99
    What...The...HECK!!! Most illogical.
  24. Trekkie99
    Thumbs up on modular, creator based classic Lego themes. Anyone else? Also, does anyone else feel that the idea (that Lego can not survive without big bang themes and licensed themes) is constantly being waved in front of us the way a hypnotist waves his watch?
  25. Trekkie99
    As a space fan I found some of the sets very cool myself. And, they definitely were useful for parts! But that's just it isn't? It wasn't a mish-mash as much as it was a space theme being called a castle theme. But do kids like it? Maybe. Do I want kids to like something more traditional? Yes. Do I think that Lego, being so popular nowadays, should encourage kids to buy, play with, and hopefully enjoy classic Lego themes vs Lego copying what's "trendy" from TV, pop culture, etc.? Absolutely! 100% yes! Will it be successful? IMO, yes.
