P.S. There is a 2020 topic already for further discussion of such...

Will any preexisting 2020 topics here be then merged with 2019 topics at that point?

But if it is a Time Travel theme, it'd be a real shame if it didn't touch upon at least some form of the future. For that matter, it'd be disappointing if such a theme only concerned itself with nostalgia of themes past, as there are many historical periods and cultures that such a theme could cover that have only seen representation within the Collectable Minifigure line. Ancient Rome or Greece anyone?

So, if this Advent Calendar features both Gingerbread siblings, should we expect to see similar accompaniment for Opening-Presents Boy, or could that instead happen within next year's Advent Calendar?

For being what looks to be a theme bringing a few classic playthemes under its umbrella in some manner, I'm surprised Pirates and Castle are the only two that have been acknowledged so far, as if they're playing a more prominent role than other historical periods and settings. Heck, is this theme even gonna cover Space or the future in any sorta way?

Though it's more Zimmer than Williams, this mash-up of the Christopher Reeves Superman and DCEU Superman themes is pretty damn good...

Wow, I hadn't taken notice of that either... ...Safari subtheme confirmed??? Maybe?

Maybe it's nothing, but Itaria also had this to share regarding a theory pertaining to the line... I'd say more a "theme-travel" (pun intended) like as if you get these characters travelling throughout the various LEGO universes. Or something that may also please AFOLS, like LE(go for)AF(ol). Lol, just wishful thinking.

Is anyone here yet familiar with the upcoming Summer 2020 playtheme codenamed Leaf (set numbers 71360 - 71377) by any chance? Apparently it might have something to offer both Castle and Pirate fans...

Um, a multiverse-hopping Clutch Powers theme, perhaps?

That'd be most ideal, and would certainly have the capacity to please pretty much everybody with very little alienation; but, I just can't see Lego going all-out for such an approach given the size this launch wave will be starting out with. It just has to be another typical "big bang" theme bound to one centralized premise and set of main characters, so that's why for the moment I'm placing my money on it being something akin to a Time Travel centric playtheme.

Perhaps it'll be a "Storybook" garden-variety playtheme, similar to Creator with its subtheme structuring and format.

Looks like it could be even more than that...

Time Travel basis confirmed... Who said this will be an already established playtheme?

Hey look, it's the Elf-on-the-Shelf! I really like how your Opening-Presents Boy turned out, with the addition of trophy-figs of Wyldstyle and Emmet from the holiday short being a nice touch!

Not necessarily, but it is FalconFan acknowledging the rumor after all... ...besides, I believe I haven't yet seen anyone else bring Castle and further AR playthemes into the rumor fold regarding the "Leaf" theme, so who knows... The more I think about it, an AR-based Time Travel theme similar to Hidden Side could hold much long-term promise if successful, because not only could it accommodate historical periods and cultures that Lego hasn't yet represented within previous playset-based themes, but it could even go further towards the multiverse route to cover "punk-suffixed" genres of a alternate historical/retrofuturistic context...

I just had something of a random thought: What if the "Leaf" theme is time-travel centric, hence acting as a means to inject Pirates into its premise? After all, I find it curious that @Falconfan1414 hashtagged his IG post pertaining to "Leaf" with both #legopirates and #legocastle... You do know that Summer 2020's CMS has been confirmed by multiple sources to be Series 20, right?

Sure, though I feel the "Legacy" that Series 20 will be paying more heed to will be the theme's that it is a part of rather than the minifigure.

Series 18 would've been much more apt for such, as that CMS celebrated the 60th anniversary of the minifigure, whereas Series 20 will instead be marking the 10th anniversary of the Collectable Minifigure theme.
