LEGO Ideas Discussion
Gorilla94 replied to The Real Indiana Jones's topic in General LEGO Discussion
To be honest... i think if we start voting only for what Lego will probably do with the project, we won't get many ideas up to 10000 in the future. I would have never voted for the terrible final flintstones set for example. I'll vote for the things i like and if Lego ruins it, i wont buy it. -

The 2 Anubis figures. One of my favourite Lego designs of all time and they cost an insane amount of money now. Many people didn't like the 4. movie. -

I guess Disney 3 has good chances to be this years third or one of the first two serieses of 2021. Otherwise there wont be the required moulds for the Pooh Ideas set. -

Just to make sure: i am no leaker. I have no insider informations. It is just my thought because of the Simpsons house. There was a little difference to the Simpsons house, too. It was deleted by Lego without comment before it was able to reach the review phase. If Lego does such a set it could be "inspired" by the Design. It was the same with the Ghostbusters HQ. -
There was an interview a while ago. It was said that Lego learned during the crysis that their bricks need to be filled with stories. I agree with that. It worked perfectly with lego adventurers, when they put a free audiobook in the cheapest set. Today i have my doubts if Lego can fill their bricks with stories without a licence that does the job. Both in their ability to write a good plot and to reach children with it. Nexoknights wasn't good and the idea of selling the audiobooks for a high price instead of putting them into sets or making them free downloads was a mistake that shouldn't happen to a company.

There was a canceled Simpsons house project a short time before the official Lego set was released. I wouldn't give up hope. To be honest i think it can be objectively said that the flintstones figures were really bad compared to the way Lego did the Simpsons and now the Minions. I know the "no moulds for ideas"-rule. But in that case there should have been an exception for Fred and Barney or the set should not have been made. The worst case happened with less characters and designs of a much lower quality than the original creator did. There is no excuse for Barneys long legs. The guy responsible should be ashamed. Do we know how long an ideas set can be in production between anouncement and release? I can only imagine Winnie Pooh reusing cmf moulds like Steamboat Willie did. -

In that case you should probably wait for the turtle to be reused in sets or the build a minifigure stations. I mean it is very likely if not a sure thing it will reappear cheaper in a slightly different colour. -

Like every figure with a poncho ever released except for Emmet. So i am 100%sure it will be without a print this time, too. -

The Lama is just awesome The girl with the bunny Is adorable. Love the hairpiece in that colour. The viking is quite nice. I was hoping for chainmail. The helmet is a pretty mould. A bit more gold and a brown plastic instead of dark grey would look better but it's still nice. I am pretty sure it is a separate mould. ...OMG! I just saw he has dual moulded arms :o These are perfect for Legolas! The knight is ok. The old helmet is dissapointing. The sword looks like it has potential for Boromir. With a more accurate picture of the sword and the shield he gets better maybe. The female pirate is terrible... looks like from before 2000. Maybe it would not be that bad if i did not know Roberts great design. I hope the hairpiece comes with white hair in a Minifigure building station. All in all the series is not very impressing compared to older ones like Series 13. -

That's unexpected... Sounds like a figure that could be worth the 4€ Could you maybe show a picture with a similar sword like you did for the wikings helmet? -

Oh, no This has to be a cruel joke... the helmet without Beard is just the one Eowyn uses. I have custom Erebor and Iron Hills Dwarf helmets and need separate ones... -

That would be very nice :) I have just one: is the vikings beard printed on the head or a (new) mould? With dwarfs as my favourite fantasy race this is the most interesting news from Lego since a long time -

My guess for the animal costume would be a Kangaroo. Maybe with red boxing gloves.. They are cute, popular and the brown colour would look good next to the other Animal suits. A reuse of the rat headgear seemed very likely to me until it was said it is no animal we ever got... P.S. funny, i didn't read 1Panda's comment while writing mine -

Thank you for the clarification. I am very happy that i got that wrong I am sorry. English isn't my first language. What does "provide the head as a mask" mean? A Mould like the gammorean guard? We know that the cmf will be including lots of city figures. So historic/fantasy ones wouldn't be my first guess if there are more possibilities. -

I guess we should wait with that figure until we have a list of the others. We know it is just one historical figure in this series and many of these could be it. For example a new viking king with beard instead of a viking kid. 15 could be everything Roman. Or it could be a cheese seller who works on a market with the butcher... or a got who had a visit from the alien. I guess speculating about 15 isn't possible until we know more -

2 Mexican minifigures in one series? I doubt it. I'd say yes, but the terracotta warriors have faces. It would be very strange if there is none. -
LEGO Collectable Minifigures Series 20. Rumors and discussion
Gorilla94 replied to Robert8's topic in Special LEGO Themes
There are female centaurs as well as male ones. One is described at a wedding scene. Titans can be male like Atlas or female like Gaia. Satyrs are always male. I don't know about cyclops. Are there any descriptions saying they are only males? I just know that the blinded Polyphem screamed for help against the "nobody" and the fellow cyclops were confused. I don't know other texts with them that would clearly say something about that. In Latin groups are allways male, if one male is in the group. So his fellow cyclops could be 1.5 million females and one Guy and the group would grammaticaly be treated like men. Are number 1-16 the same figures like the first time? Ok, then one is the leaked boy with sombrero. -

I doubt it. There are no female Fauns. I don't want to go into detail about stories absolutely inappropriate for children in this forum. Let's just say: I don't think Lego would invent new mythological creatures. I'd love that. And it would be a city minifig. I'd say a Lego collector with a printed display case showing some Minifigures. -

Thanks for the information one historical fig and one animal is really dissapointing. Will the costumes be at least animal suits or something like the pencil and melon suits in TLM2? -
In an old interview the sentence was said "We learned, that we have to fill our bricks with stories". The audio book with Johnny Thunder included in the cheapest orient expedition set worked great in it's time. Today it is more difficult. "Free audiobook" was special. Today children are drowning in commercials and free content on youtube. Licenced themes are a possibility to avoid the risk of failing. What i experienced is, that children are more and more crazy about brands, too. When i was small it didn't matter to me or my friends from what brand my clothes came. Today i hear children very often discuss stuff like that. It isn't just "i adore this character. I want a toy of him." It is about "this franchise is popular. So it is a status symbol to show you are a fan". There seem to be so many girls out there wearing Star Wars merchandise without knowing who Luke Skywalker is, since it is "cool" to be a nerd. The sand crawler is a moving fortress and beside of his more rusty design it is the same idea Lego had with the Nexo Knights castle. The Non-ucs-version works as a toy without licence. This way we can get neat sets. The problem is the way themes are treated. Of course sets like the one with Kylo VS Rey with some plates and a half tree are terrible. Many sets of the Lord of the rings line were really bad, too. A Uruk battle pack would have been insanely successfull. We got a huge ork forge set with very few orcs and and overpriced building, which would have been still overpriced, if the build was something interesting and well executed - which it wasn't. Batman for example has so much potential. A modular Arkham Asylum like Hogwards would be great even for people that don't like Superheroes. Or a cool clocktower including Mad Hatter... or a pretty Wayne Manor including Hush. Something like ninjago City with Gotham would be perfect for City Fans, too. A good minifig scale batmobil would sell insanely well. Besides the one in the retro batcave we never got a really good version. Of course nobody wants the seventh "meh" version with 2 boring versions of Batman and one of the again and again reused villains.

DC Superheroes 2020 - Rumors & Discussion
Gorilla94 replied to Captain Nemo's topic in LEGO Licensed
I think the problem of TLBM2 and Simpsons 2 was the selection of characters, not the release date. The second Simpsons Series included 5 much less popular variants of the family and characters like Frink instead of Skinner. In my opinion the parts selection was weaker, too. TLBM series 2 was for a lot of people the worst CMF series ever (sounds like the Comic book guy :'D). I played all the Arkham games 100%, watched a lot of Batman movies and read a bunch of comics. So i know more about the theme than most of the average buyers... But i never heared of a lot of these obscure characters. The part selection was extremely bad except the batman with nude Sixpack Torso, Swimming pants and Dolphin.
