Lion King

(Sarcastically) Oh? You would be concerned with what others don’t like, they don’t buy, and how useless the set is then? Good to know! Now serious…. Yeah, I fond some cool parts from that Pharrell Williams set, such as rainbow trail and that golden cockpit. I rather not buy that set but will get some parts for PAB or Bricklink so I could them use them. I understand that some space fans don’t feel appealed to that set bt we don’t know how well this will be sold until its release date. Queer Eye was released a few yers ago then it had some discount some times later. It had me wondered why it went that way. Anyways, Space fans only speak for themselves (I’m not a Space fan myself, I’m jst a general in-house fan).

Oh wow, that’s wickedly awesome! I love that witch’s tower! geart work. :)

I don’t know if most of you know already know but there is a golden dragon statue from a new Ninjago set. It’s veery useful for Adventuruers as a lost treasure!

I found and purchased the baby dragon Norbert from BrickLink other da and it arrived. That baby dragon is very cute next to Riku (from. Nina go). Now, I don’t. Need to buy the entire Hagrid’s Hut set but I will hunt for Fang figure I can’t wait to get my ahdsn on two more small dragon figures later this year. One from DnD CMF and one from Ninjago se. It’s really neat to collect fantasy creatures from different themes.

That’s fair. There is no thing, such as “true fans”, though. Oh yeah? You think they do the same stuff for current in-house theme as before in 80s and 90s? Nah… I’m not totally into nostalgia stuff. Take a look at DreamZzz, Monkie Kid, Hidden Side , China - they have their own uniqueness in design. It’s just “never-see-before” stuff I am into. I don’t think licensed thems are competely original. They cointinue remaking the sets, such as Hagrid’s Hut, Great Hall, Milliecum Falcon, If you are a collector, you end up having multir Great Halls, multi Hagrid’s Huts, multiracial Mlllieum Falcons at your home. Is that a “creativity” thing Lego is doing for several years? and I will never wish that entire themes should be replaced with in-house thems, just roughly 50:50 balance. I do understand that licensed AND in-house themes keep the company alive…

Did you manage to not one your sanity as you built as early as 3am in the morning??

No I agree with cosmic. I thin its worthy for a groom minifigure show up in CMF series. A ring with diamond sonds really nice as we have seen a plain ring for a decade. also i think they could design a completely new tuxedo - a new color and style… I have seen some grooms wore simple vests or jackets over vests. I have seen some colorful bows (red wine color) against navy tuxedo / vest. How about….a dual-printed head? One with a broad smile and one with a cake smear on (when bride threw it on grooom’s face)! But they are not the recent series. Only i see buildable guns/blasters for sci-fi minifigures.

Space Jam is way better than the sequel. I have seen some people wishing for space Jam variatns. I don’t think it’s about nosgaai when it comes to Muppets’ Electric Mayhem? I mean the Muppet Series has two characters right from Electric Mayhem band - Animal and Janice.

Ditch the gun acceosryies and replace them with a “Rabbit Season” poster for Elmer and a club for Yosemite? I think I saw Yosemite used a club but i might be wrong.

Agreed, it’s great to see a light tan color for hairpiece! I can’t wait to see taht hair color to show up in other theems - licensed and. In-house!

Yup exactly! In-house themes allow desginers to have freedom of creativity for sure. Also minifigures from licensed themes are hardly acccurate. For example, in 2020, there was Lavender Brown in Harry Potter set but she didn’t look like the character from movie. Some folks sometimes complain about how inaccurate the characters from all licnessed themes are. In-house minifigures’ desgins are pretty easy, however, the color schemes ae tricky.

Are we getting Chrysanthemum and Plum Blossom sets?

I think 10350 will be the next Modular Buidling. I don’t know if it’s true since i found it form Brick Fantatic but i could not find info somehwere else.

Sorry for not being clear. No, not that’s what I meant. I just feel it’s not very creative when it comes to licensed themes that are based off movies, tv show, pop culture. The original in-house themes I consider are creative things desginers produces.

Just like that MonkieKid’s Delivery Bike GWP some years ago?

Same here. I got hooked to DreamZzz becuase I found those sets more intersing and unique. I got intrigued by Monkie Kid and Hidden Side themes. Missed out on the in-house theme “Dino” in early 2010s but Jurasic World theme arrived. I only care for Jurassic World is dinosaurs that allows me to place them into the in-house universe. Same way for fantasy creatures from Harry Potter. I will always welcome new in-house themes. Well, that’ snot creativity when it comes to licensed themes. And I’m not totally into nostalgia myself. I just feel that Lego is not enough creative to come up with ideas for new original in-house themes. I found the new in-house themes more appreciated like Nexo Knights, Monkie Kid, Ninjago, Hidden Side, etc. Licensed themes are well known that the designers kept remaking the old sets from past into presents like Great Hall from Harry Potter, Millimeum Falcon from Star Wars. It’s not exaclty creativity but just new building techniques.

Oh wow, that’s amazing to see the beautiful landscape! Great work.

Does anyone know when we will. See the polybag?

Now that you mentioend it, I like that idea. I should decorate my modular buildings with those rainbow and clouds parts! Pride parade!

Thank you.

Well, I mean, sure there is no evidence available. We don’t know what will happen after Space City subtheme for 2025. To me, I totally don’t mind Space as a City subtheme. So yeah… no evidence why they coul not do a standalone Space theme, just silly speculations they came up with.

I totally get how you feel. It’s really ad to see a big change since 2000s. I feel that the younger generations show little or no interest in the original in-house themes - they have been arching Star Wars, Disney, Harry Potter movies and they recognize the sets that are based on those movies. I don’t know if they have imaginations or not. But while growing up, I love using my imagination and come up with stories. It was such fun! I only have little interest in licensed sets becasue i buy dinosaurs from Jurasssic World, fantasy creatures from Harry Potter, cool minifigure parts/accesories from licensed theems seperateldly (in other words, not buying the whole sets) and use them for my in-house world.

Sucho, Gali sounds great for future sets.

Ijm glad that you think the Pharrell Williams spaceship set is cool/nice. However, to me, it’s….dull. It’s pretty silly that they produce a small spaceship for a$100 set. It looks like they throw some colorful pirates into it form “Everthing is Aweosme” set. And that frame with 48 heads? It looks like it’s FBI’s wanted photos on wall. But I like a few cool parts such as minifigure parts and that cockpit.

What are WOT and ROP tanning for?
