    Damn, I've never heard of either of them before myself! Just watched only a few minutes of both of their most popular Brickfilms and was left awestruck! Brickdictator's Battle of Brody has not only excellent stop-motion animation, but some impressively done backdrops and sets of a vast scale! Any other Brickfilmers you can reference me to that are favorites of yours perhaps?

    Have you ever seen this SpiderMan themed creation from @Xenomurphy before? For that matter, how about some of these Marvel themed creations from this guy? Flickr - Ben Cossy | Overview

    Compared to most, I'm a weird one as far as AFOLs go, as not only did I never have a Dark Age, I first got into Lego when I was sixteen. When my younger brother got bored of K'NEX, he started searching for Lego sets and collections at various thrift stores and garage sales, and quickly accumulated a sizable collection. Like him, I got really immersed into the vastly colorful spectrum of parts, themes, geometry, and history of the System. Then after awhile, I discovered the fan community, and the rest is history.

    This project has been featured on this topic before, but Astronaut Villa's arcade modular is now less than a hundred supporters away from reaching the 10K milestone! I know how staff there may feel about projects that complement a preexisting line, but as always, you never know how these successful projects may influence future sets! LEGO Ideas - Modular Arcade In other news, @chubbybots2's Gypsy Avenger project has at the time of this writing 300+ supporters!

    That hairpiece is a rather nice choice for a white recolor, I kinda dig it! It wouldn't be quite spot on, but that recolor could roughly be used for a purist Princess Kida from Disney's Atlantis: The Lost Empire if they wanted a close portrayal to complement an MOC based upon the movie.

    That Earth Blue/Light Bluish Grey Museum of his is probably my favorite!

    Never? Are you really that certain that will be the case throughout the theme's entire lifetime?
  10. Digger of Bricks
    You're welcome! Ah yes, now that one is an architectural favorite of mine.

    It's not quite spot on if you closely compare it to its source material, but here's a great brick built rendition of Rapunzel's tower from Disney's 2010 film Tangled by Kloou. Flickr - Rapunzel's Tower Those two are both extraordinary! But, I do now remember that latter one, as it was submitted as an Ideas project that did reach the 10K threshold, but was rejected in the review.

    What will this mean for the future of Speed Champions, if Lego indeed has at least a sixth year planned for it?

    So, you'd rather want to see a Castle set that leans on specialized wall and turret parts, as opposed to nonspecific bricks? Just because Creator sets look so Juniors-ish doesn't mean that sets not built from specialized parts will look that way as a result, as Creator sets are designed both proportionally and colorfully with that Juniors-esque aesthetic intentionally. It's my hope that the non-Expert, 3 in 1 Creator line will eventually start giving us sets with an MOC-like quality within a playset scale, still built with nonspecific bricks, but this time with more complex techniques and more muted colors below the US $100 price range. Well, that's not a bad idea. So in succession, follow-up sequel themes could be titled along the lines of Mayan Quest, Dino Quest, Empire Quest, Atlantis Quest, Hyperborea Quest...

    Looks like a Creator set if you ask me, and that not a bad thing!

    With maybe the exception of Adventurers, I'm surprised Lego haven't concocted more Action/Adventure themes that focus upon a singular hero as opposed to a team. Now it wouldn't necessarily be a story that featured no other friends or allies, but I think a theme with a central focus on a singular hero would be kinda cool. Think of action/pulp fiction heroes, who's theme would take on their own name or moniker, characters such as Lara Croft, Indiana Jones, Doc Savage, Flash Gordon, Jason Bourne, James Bond... You know. And yes, I know it's most likely Lego adopts the team model since kids more likely relate to that approach with their friends, but it'd certainly be different for a change. So, Metallurgy-Punk? That sounds kinda cool, though I'd imagine it would it'd be more of a Fantasy Castle theme than a Action/Adventure theme.

    To kick off, here are a few great Classic Space themed projects that are definitely worth taking a look at! Classic Space Mobile Base by @BennyHugo Classic Space Monorail by @Exetrius Space Pod by JonathanLoo Gravitron Explorer by papat08 Playing In Space Since 1978 by @vedosololego LL960 Supernova by GeekPerson

    Batmobile by BRICK Spirou TAS Batmobile 1992 and Arkham Asylum Batwing by @Bricks Feeder Juggernaut and Atlas by Zane Houston * * Technically, this mech is an X-Men creation, even though it's an original design. That's pretty darn cute! I was checking out some of his other stuff, much of it which I've never seen before. Here's his model of Baxmax from Big Hero 6, which is rather studful, but has some nicely constructed arms! Baymax by @lisqr This forced perspective streetscape creation of his from Pixar's The Incredibles is also pretty cool! Syndrome's Revenge by @fonz

    If that may indeed be the case nowadays, okay then; but still, shouldn't an action/adventure theme with a broadly encompassing range chose a name that doesn't limit its horizons? Is there a name that could serve that purpose yet be uniquely signature at the same time?
  21. Digger of Bricks
    But, considering, Lego didn't end up naming the City theme a more specific name such as LEGO Bricksburg, LEGO Clutchopolis, or something like that. Same goes for the last iterations of Classic Castle and Pirates.

    Classic Steam Freight Set by Freddery Pink Cadillac by pix027 Tintin by nivinuka Wintertime by Ymarilego Greenhouse by dicidici You're most welcome! Well that's... different.
  23. Digger of Bricks
    Well, this does sound like a pretty good point you bring up here.

    Nice shaping! It's not everyday you see a Unitron spacecraft creation! By the way, while I'm rather certain it is, is the canopy you're using the one from the JL Javelin set?

    I wouldn't call Creator generic necessarily, just that they lean more on good old fashioned bricks as opposed to specialized parts, which I think is better. As for the need for an umbrella theme, it's only that some kids (not just AFOLs) are missing out on more archetypical genres, since not everyone wishes for Ninjago, City, and licensed lines. So, why not use a preexisting outlet for some of those genres that Lego have deemed not viable enough for an entire theme, just to tap into those smaller yet significant markets? It wouldn't necessarily be a "harkening back" sort of theme, as it still would be the adventures of Jake Raines and friends, just with some sort of name that suggests adventures beyond Egypt. Heck, if I were to release an Adventures-esque theme, I'd model it after the approach 2007's Agents had took, with each set within the first wave depicting an adventure in a different part of the globe. So, if the theme couldn't run beyond a single year, a single wave would feel much more broad and complete. Indeed. Creator's simplicity is just perfect for sets that harken back to the Classics.
