    Unless we should wait for further confirmation that "AL" is indeed this rumored iCreate line, should this topic be moved to the Special LEGO Themes subforum?

    By the way, has anyone here ever seen this guy's WIP cathedral build? Personally, It just doesn't look like Lego if you ask me...

    By the way, LEGO Ideas has just announced a new Voltron themed contest that they're hosting: LEGO Ideas - Form your most imaginative Voltron scene!

    Congratulations @Stillinamerica for having this beauty of yours frontpaged!

    I understand that there would likely be a lot of valid arguments against many of these wishes, and some of them have already been touched upon by others here, but if I were to run TLG... I'd make Creator the company's flagship playtheme, primarily by increasing its annual product output, broadening the theme's scope of playset subject matters, and perhaps introducing a second, intermediate subtheme to slot in between the "Three-In-One" and Expert lines. In doing so, Creator can in a way become a haven of sorts for homeless themes and genres, much like the non-licensed Collectable Minifigure line. Reincorporate the singular model, alternate build formula currently utilized by sets within the Creator and Technic themes into a select number of many other preexisting themes' products, which was the norm for many of TLG's product lines up until a few years ago. In other words, a few less figure-centric playsets, and in turn, a few more build-focused "model kit" sets in their place for both in-house and licensed themes alike. Never have the annual number of individual licensed themes outnumber that of original, in-house themes. Likewise, as a result, there would always be maintained an annual two to one ratio of original to licensed Collectable Minifigure Series. With the obvious exception of ones required for licensed themes, ensure that every newly made part is designed for a long lifespan beyond its intended purpose, especially for minifigure accessories/headgear parts. Where ever and whenever possible, try to consolidate any overlapping themes together under a broader, evergreen umbrella theme, whether they be original or licensed lines. In other words, try to model more themes after subtheme structured product lines such as City (when handling in-house themes) and Marvel/DC Super Heroes (when handling licensed themes). When handling currently relevant licensed properties for a new theme or subtheme, ideally, opt for the source material's original or classic iteration as an indirect promotional tie-in to its latest iteration. For instance, as opposed to producing tie-in sets based directly on the 2008 cinematic Speed Racer movie, I would've instead produced sets based upon the classic TV show from which it was inspired from.

    Also, Merida is seen in this teaser which was posted three days ago:

    This designer interview is definitely of relevance to this discussion topic, especially this snippit: New Elementary - LEGO® MINIFIGURES INTERVIEW: TARA WIKE & AUSTIN CARLSON
  9. Digger of Bricks
    For me, this was naturally the most interesting part of the interview, even though it was still somewhat vague:

    By the way, unless you're already aware, @just2good has credited you with this information in a video he just did about this enigmatic listing.

    You guys might want to check out New Elementary's Media Fan Days interview with Collectable Minifigures designers Tara Wike and Austin Carlson. I'm telling you, lots to pour over there, as I still am... New Elementary - LEGO® MINIFIGURES INTERVIEW: TARA WIKE & AUSTIN CARLSON

    I'm surprised I missed this last week, but I should mention @DK_Titan's gorgeous new Water Tower build here. Eurobricks - [MOC] Water tower - 1 meter high

    I've said before elsewhere that I find Snow White's reimagined look kinda odd, but now I can even say the same for Cinderella upon seeing this new promotional image.

    Though we have yet to see Lego even touch upon any of Disney's live-action adaptations/remakes directly (if ever), I still thought this might be of interest to readers of this topic, perhaps as some food for thought: Screen Rant - Disney's Live-Action Mulan Starts Production; First Look Released

    This has been attempted twice by Lego in the past, first with Scala (1979-1980 and 1997-2001) and Clikits (2003-2006). With lifespans like that, I'm not sure if TLG considers those predecessors to be moderate successes, especially for themes of that scale. Well, as for this latest iteration of the jewelry line, perhaps AFOLs may gain at least some interesting recolors and/or new small parts from it. We'll just have to wait and see I suppose.

    Well, personally, I'm primarily hoping that this set will architecturally lean more towards Art Deco and less towards Gothic such as seen for 2013's D2C Arkham Asylum; but, as I said eariler, a "Dark Deco" blend of those two styles would strike a perfect balance.

    Finally got around to watching Avengers: Infinity War for the first time last night. Though I've enjoyed many of the previous installments in the MCU, I've never been that crazy about any of them in particular. Infinity War, on the other hand, I found to be pretty darn good, so much so that it stayed with me a bit longer than others movies in the franchise. I don't know, I guess perhaps it may have been that it was simply a darker, more dire story compared to others, as I do somewhat have more of a preference for that in a narrative.

    Something like @Robert8's hypothetical design would be nice to see for such an archetype.
  19. Digger of Bricks
    Hmm, honestly, it sounds like we have our culprit if you ask me.
  20. Digger of Bricks
    Is it possible that these nine sets, as many as they may be, perhaps aren't definitive of this line's price range? Maybe what we've heard of so far may only be covering the first wave's polybag sets and lower priced sets?

    I first saw this last night over on The Brothers Brick, and immediately shared it over on the 2018 Elves set discussion topic. It really is one heck of a stunner.
  22. Digger of Bricks
    I didn't know this at the time I shared that here, but apparently its creator (@Stillinamerica) shared the display here on Eurobricks over at this topic:
  23. Digger of Bricks
    I'd certainly like for it to be the latter possibility, if it were to be one of those two.
  24. Digger of Bricks
    You mean this one? Pinterest - Arkham GCPD Building Sure, absolutely! As long as they give us something with a heavy "Dark Deco" aesthetic, I'll be very happy.
  25. Digger of Bricks
    Unless I'm misunderstanding you, are you saying that you'd rather not see such a theme? If so, why?
