    I'm not a lawyer but that looks like a lawsuit waiting to happen.

    Whoa. The castle is like a fortress from the old Pirates line!

    It's fine for new people to come Eurobricks to share info with us. It's fine for members of Eurobricks to doubt these new comers or disagree with what's real or fake. It's not cool for that newcomer to play the victim like a big crybaby. It's not cool to say people who disagree are "calling you a liar". And it's definitely not cool for that person to delete all their posts like a spoiled brat. I'd rather not have leaks then have to deal with petty butt-hurt narcissists, personally.

    You know what I liked the least about Hidden Side? The obnoxious looking protagonists. They looked like bratty spoiled suburbanite punks with names to match. Parker? Seriously? Where's Mackenzie and Hunter? Also they look totally out of place with the more old-timey background characters.

    Wow this topic has completely derailed. Anyway I hope we can get some CLASSIC. THEMED. CREATOR. SETS. out of this. It would totally appeal to AFOLS! Give me SPACE, PIRATES, and CASTLE Creator sets, even if it's just one each per year. Up the price and make them epic. I will pay! Also, in the first page of this thread I detected some serious butt-hurt about adults making up 10% of sales. Like, are people upset that they can't go around beating up AFOLs on this forum about being a tiny minority from now on? Sad that they can't tell us to shut up anymore? Isn't this a forum for AFOLs?

    You're the first I've seen bring that up, which is surprising. It's the first thing I thought. And isn't DB based on Chinese Monkey King mythology? Is this a practice run for a DB licensed theme in a few years? They did Pirates before PotC, Dwarves before LotR, Monster Fighters before Scooby Doo, right? Actually I could have some of those backwards but you get the idea.

    You're going to target 100% of course. 10% of their revenue is half a billion dollars; they'd be crazy to ignore a market worth that. I wouldn't be surprised if this ends up being true.
  8. danth
    I think we've been underestimated.10% is a huge chunk.

    New article from Bricksfanz: LEGO To Increase Focus On AFOLs http://bricksfanz.com/german-toy-fair-lego-to-increase-focus-on-afols/ Seems promising!

    There are two ways this could go: 1) The lame way, where that rover is a NASA style boring real-life rover design, and the Caravan is a minivan 2) The awesome way, where the rover is a Classic Space style rover, and the Caravan is a Classic Castle style wagon with knights and stuff I'm betting on 1. I just can't get my hopes up anymore. But if it's 2...YOU'RE ALL WELCOME. Actually the Wohnwagen terminology has been used by Lego before to refer to a camper/trailer so the Caravan set 100% isn't a Classic Castle themed set. EDIT: 31108 Caravan Family Holiday Yeah definitely not Castle!

    CLASSIC. THEMED. CREATOR. SETS. It's happening!

    As someone who doesn't care about Marvel at all, I see this as a very overpriced set with a cool helicopter, some throwaway side builds, and a bunch of minfigures I would never use. The transparent orange pieces are great, and I also want that trans-purple book/HUD piece. $60 for 482 pieces is pretty steep, especially when you only get one medium size build and two tiny side builds. Maybe that Hulk is a $15 piece, but for someone like me who detests large junior-ized figures, it's just a waste.

    Nice! I'm getting a very Starfire I feel from it. Definitely!

    These look great. Simple and clean yet visually appealing. I feel like they need magnets though. :) There are new magnet pieces coming out this year but they are kind of huge. And yellow.
  15. danth
    RIGHT?!

    What world am I living in where people think Space Ninjas would be lame but Ninjas in submarines will somehow work? Have you guys never seen anime or Sentai shows? Imagine the jumpkicks Ninjas could do in zero gravity. Ninjas in spaceships and space mechs? Ninjas riding rockets to attack a space station? Throwing entire satellites like shurikens? If you can't imagine how awesome that would be, you are not even trying.

    Gray and an undamaged Benny. Include a very small base and a walker instead of the rover & space ship. I assume it is a painted prototype. Hopefully the book cover is updated before release.
  18. danth
    YES!!!!!!!! More Space guys to add to the ranks! Thanks! So glad to see this! Can we not do the dream crushing thing? Also why would you think this? We got the Exo Suit green guys, Benny, the Gray CMF torso, the white Space man rewards set, Benny's Space Squad, the blue helmet, and now this. Classic Space just keeps on happening. It's going to continue.

    This is the best thing I've ever seen in my life. Seriously.

    Source?
  21. danth
    Any new info on these? I've heard rumors. Something about augmented reality and classic themes. Probably BS?
  22. danth
    Does such a thing actually exist? It seems hilariously nonsensical to me. Like there's going to be a police train chasing a bad guy train on the same tracks?

    I'm wondering something. Certain people will tell us that LEGO listens to AFOLs all the time and that LEGO bends over backwards to please us. Will those same people tell us, the moment we ask for something, that LEGO is 100% a children's toy and that we should never ask for or expect anything?
  25. danth
    M-TRON 2! I was told it would never happen because kids would eat the magnets. But I guess Lego has found a fix for that. So of course they now have no choice but to bring back old Space themes!
