    This sort of cool to see, especially with the lack of coloring and dimmed lighting for observation of the film set construction. By the way, I'm not that familiar with the Gotham TV show, but does anyone know of any easter eggs or references to the show in TLBM? The show apparently has been running since 2014, so I think now it would have been significant enough for referencing in the movie like the many other films and TV shows that were featured.

    That hairpiece of Zane's on the other hand.....

    I forgot about this one, was blown away at the time seeing this when I was still a lurker. I also forgot at the time about that quarter dome piece being made in Trans-yellow, then under the impression that the UCS X-Wing canopy was the largest piece made in that color. I have one of those quarter dome parts in Trans-blue from a Unitron set and have never made use of it.

    Saw this on New Elementary, very impressive. I can't help but think of Stark/Avengers Tower when I see this though.

    I wonder if the lighter colored torso and legs were made in mind for reusage in the comic (or JLA) based set with Cheetah rumored for next year, since hypothetically the set may use either a Rebirth or JLA styled Wonder Woman figure, and both look pretty similar to the DCEU design.

    Also, this interesting new part (part no. 30987 pictured below) comes in two of the summer wave sets in Spring Yellowish Green and Earth Blue.

    Brickset has just put up a new inventory of 700+ parts on their site, and this part (part no. 32739) comes in White in two sets and Orange in one set. https://brickset.com/parts/design-32739 Now I'm surprised I have not noticed this before, but windshield part no. 28782 (from TLBM Batmobile) comes in Trans. Light Blue in 60168 Sailboat Rescue for City this year. https://brickset.com/sets/containing-part-6186655

    That's a very well designed rocket, I like its spindly landing gear!

    This is something Peter Morris called "Classic Space Evolved", a style that reimagined many CS sets in a contemporary, homage style. I remember some of his work featured in The Lego Adventure Book Vol. 1 and The Art of Lego Design, particularly the box cockpit starfighters. Here is a Flickr album of his "Classic Space Evolved" MOCs. https://www.flickr.com/photos/rival_m/albums/72157624874025445 But yes, a competition like that would be great! I am surprised no one has done this yet, but someone should do a "evolved" Galaxy Explorer using part no. 28782 (pictured below) in Trans-yellow from TLBM Batmobile! The part's dimensions are perfect for it (6 by 6 by 2)!

    Designers have so much freedom with wacky big bang themes such as Ninjago that sets could be designed with alternate builds in mind, though I'd hope the alternate builds were not as small or inferior to the star build. I know alternate builds perhaps would not be featured in the theme's tie-in TV show, but still, it expands the set's playability lifespan, keeping the kids from resorting to collecting more sets from the theme (though I know that probably is the whole point ).

    Many of these sets have been scaled down from the film versions, so presumably same can be said of Cole's mech, which is unfortunate since it probably will not utilize the Technic tractor tire, which was the coolest part about his mech.

    I have shared this opinion in other threads elsewhere, but this I why I think Lego should return to the multiple model Designer template for Creator seen in sets from 2003 to 2005. The 3 in 1 template is great for Creator, but it suggests to most people limitations (though that surely isn't the case), whereas a 8+ or 15+ in one set suggests infinite possibilities from a single set, communicating to parents that Lego does not need to be a system to be collected to expand the playability lifespan of the initial set. Expanding Creator's subtheme potential to themes such as space and adventure/action fare also attracts those not interested in Creator's usual offerings to the theme, and therefore introducing them to the infinite possibilities the Lego System offers beyond the set.

    One of the STUPIDEST Fisher Price products I have ever seen for the Thomas franchise are these DC and Power Rangers themed Minis packs. But seriously, does Mattel have a stranglehold on all toy merchandise for the franchise? There are many model railway companies that make Thomas products, how do merchandise negotiations work with Mattel in that case?

    So far, it looks like this part only comes in this color in two of the second wave Elves sets. https://brickset.com/sets/containing-part-6188999 The blog New Elementary has an article about this part also. http://www.newelementary.com/2017/06/32952-new-lego-snot-piece.html

    It would be nice to have part no. 57999 (train motor wheels pictured below) in Dark Brown to pair with part no. 2871(also pictured below) in the same color from the 2016 Ninjago set no. 70589 Rock Roader.

    Well, Town did have a Outback theme composed of 5 sets back in 1997, though they weren't at all anything really exciting. https://brickset.com/sets/theme-Town/subtheme-Outback But yes, Outback could be a potential City exploration subtheme in the near future, and along with kangaroos, we could get a nice koala mold also.

    Adventures is a favorite theme of mine, and you certainly have an interesting cast of characters there, assembling a shared Adventures-verse with Alpha Team, Monster Fighters, and Pharaoh's Quest joining the theme.

    Same here, just getting a 404 not found page. When I try it backward going to the Brickshelf home page, I get a white page with only text that reads "It works!". I would love to see these creations, but Brickshelf does not seem to work for me anyway. Perhaps you could post these on MOC Pages or Flickr?

    YES! Lego should apply this concept as much as possible in nearly all original themes and some licensed themes where possible. It would help many kids literally think outside of the box. Also, for both Creator and other themes, I really would like to see a return to the Designer concept seen in Creator sets from 2003 to 2005 also, breaking the 3 in 1 mold. Designer sets were great as a concept because if a kid were to have only one Lego set, a single decent sized Designer set based upon his favorite subtheme would be all he needed. This is a great topic to revive in light of some current discussions on the Creator theme expanding its horizons.

    We've seen a lot of Wonder Woman this year for many products, and I expect to see more after the potential success of the DCEU film this weekend (like WW and Cheetah next year). So perhaps we could see a comic styled Ares in some comic or TV show based set in the future.

    On the subject of CS in preexisting themes again, with the direction City has taken with exploration subthemes recently, I strongly think we could see a moonbase exploration subtheme soon here, with many of the sets taking their inspiration from CS and futuristic NASA shuttle concepts (like the X33 pictured below). This could be our strongest bet for a conflictless space exploration theme currently, though how much of its style and color scheme would take after CS I don't know. Now on a different note, would it be a stretch for Lego to do CS themed sets for Technic? Perhaps a mostly Light Bluish Grey RC moon rover with suspension would be the way to go. A Lego Space movie would be great, but I don't think Benny is popular enough to warrant a spinoff, though maybe we could see a short film starring him like The Master short attached to a major WB tentpole film.

    Lego should have done Snow White for Disney S1 since the film was the first full length animated feature in cinema history, along with the character being Disney's first princess. In retrospect, the choices for S1 were a nice mix but strange, since I think they should have chosen more characters from more significantly pioneering films, such as mentioned above.

    Well, 2018 will be Castle, Space, and the Minifigure's 40th anniversaries, with 2019 being Pirates 30th anniversary, so I'm hoping for something for both occasions.
  24. Digger of Bricks
    Perhaps lime green and orange like these guys from 3842 Lunar Command. As far as wild color variations, I could see us getting such figures from a hypothetical CS themed Juniors set. This is where I would like to see them go, with a darker upon lighter hued mixture. And additional printing other than the torso logo would be limited, maybe CS logos printed on the upper arms like the S15 Astronaut would be nice.

    I've mentioned this on the 2017 City thread also, but it would be great to have a four wide version of this new part pictured on the left introduced in this year's 60154 Bus Station. I would like to see Sand Purple reintroduced also. It seems like it should be a necessary color in Lego's current color palette.
