Dumbed down? Are you referring to the City theme's reliance on specialized, modular parts?

Delightful! Though he's uncredited, one of the video's comments credit Brotherhood Workshop with that animation. For that matter, here are two more related shorts within that same vein presumably animated by the same studio:

Well, seriously, we the fans alone don't make up the entirety of Lego's customer base. That's a bit overstating our importance in those regards.

Really? Not-showing-up-at-all is a lot more likely than appearing in Series 19, according to you?

Even better, a part-centric review from @caperberry's New Elementary!!! New Elementary - LEGO® MOVIE 2 REVIEW: 70840 WELCOME TO APOCALYPSEBURG!

Huh, it's interesting to see the undisclosed submissions broken down categorically:

Here's a CS-themed project that was submitted just today: LEGO Ideas - CS Colonizing Team by Rustybricks24

Of course, while an adult red fox would be quite easy to accommodate, even giraffe and elephant younglings would be hard to fit into a CMF bag.

It would've been even better if many of the previous "costumed" archetypes (the animal ones in particular) each introduced a new respective animal mold.

Ah, I see; so, it's seen on the right-hand page roughly at the 5:57 mark.

Dang, that's lightning fast! Congratulations once again @Bricked1980, I wish you the best of luck in your journey towards 10,000 supporters!

If Lego were able to reobtain the license for Thomas the Tank Engine, I'm pretty certain that would be the route they'd take it nowadays, a System-based line of train-and-location playsets aimed towards younger builders in lieu of Duplo sets once again.

If the last price hike was merely to pay for subscription to a now-defunct game, Lego should have a better reason to retain that price of $3.99 rather than "just because they can" sort-of logic. That's an interesting idea. I could see Friends adopting the same format for an annual line of People Packs of their own, only that they'd have minidolls instead.

Heh, if not this September, there just has to be one eventually. We know from an interview with CMS designers last year that they have no intention of putting the breaks on the traditional CMS line anytime soon here.

Oh, according to who? Not necessarily, as the Fox Suit Girl very well could be a part of Series 19 as others here mentioned.

Well, a new Red Fox mold would be great.

Well, it definitely has more in common with Bionicle than Nexo Knights, especially pertaining to the factor of cultural inspiration. The only thing it does share with Nexo Knights is the typical color-coded band of heroes trope, something that's been used to death and is kinda expected from many Lego playthemes. Now, regarding cultural inspirations, something maybe Lego could look to that hasn't been touched upon before for future action/adventure lines is Indian and/or Arabian culture and lore. Particularly, I would love to see an action/adventure theme inspired after the exploits of Sinbad the Sailor.

Well, @Robert8 was speculating on the previous page of this topic that the Fox Suit Girl could be one of Series 19's potential CMFs.

As courtesy of @tormentalous, looks like she's a girl as seen in this pretty clear screenshot:

Exactly. In my opinion, Lego should only do repeats of themed CMSs if their IP can produce more than two series. Honestly, Disney is a good example of a license that can be utilized for at least five series.

Something interesting I just noticed right now, is that both Emmet and Dangervest wear talkie mics seemingly attached to their hairpieces, much like how we've previously seen Lucy with one attached to her own hood piece. Would they go out of their way to make new molds for all three of those?

You know, it's rather irksome that the only CMF archetype group that has found its way into both Lego Movie CMSs (not counting the spinoffs' CMSs) that would otherwise find themselves in a traditional CMS are the ever-prevalent "costumed" archetypes. The first movie's CMS had the unnamed Panda Guy, while its sequel's CMS has three more unnamed "costumed" archetypes. Every other CMF within both series are of particular named characters or slight variants of previous CMF archetypes, with none of them being generic enough to have been otherwise slipped into a traditional series.

That's particularly what @Robert8 highlighted right off the bat.

Sure, admittedly so; but, he's still just another costumed archetype...
