Jurassic Properties 2024 - Rumors & Discussion
FinlayTheFaithful replied to Clone OPatra's topic in LEGO Licensed
Since the plot focuses on them we could expect the return of the Quetzal and a new Mosa mold. As for land dinosaurs, getting your typical Rexes and Raptors are the safest bet since it won't be a JP movie without them. It would still be interesting to see how they could handle the amount of sets tho, I'm thinking 5 movie sets, 2 Chaos Theory Dino Mission sets, 1 buildable skull and 1 Jurassic World 10th Anniversary set -

Making a mold like that would be perfect for Vector, they might even give him the same Hagrid arms that Eggman has -

A few IDW sets with a buildable beat monster for them to drive would go hard -

Rouge is alright, but I'd rather see the likes of Whisper and the Chaotix next year, maybe even the Egg Pawn as a minifig if we're lucky -

Yeah, the only reason I'd consider picking up the boat is to pair it up with the speed sphere challenge set from last year cuz of similar theming, but I'd rather see what 2025 has to offer first -
I guess all we can do until we have set name leaks is discuss what kind of obligatory food truck and $10 vehicle set we might get

My guess is May, January is usually reserved for the normal unlicensed CMF -

Recently got my hands on the Master Emerald Shrine and the Egg Drillster, they're pretty good sets with a handful of pros and cons, mostly pros Master Emerald Shrine The minifigures included are fine, but it is nice to get a more angry looking Knuckles and atleast one appearance of Amy this year, so I'm not gonna talk about them too much. The EggRobo is surprisingly well made despite the fact it should have been saved for a classic era set, with a good amount of building techniques and posability for its size, but I do wish it came with another glove for it to have on its other arm if you don't like the pistol. The fact it can stand up with the pistol and the jetpack is honestly a surprise, but a welcome one. The shrine itself however is easily the main draw for me, the way the sides are neatly integrated are a big plus for me and the little emerald display on the top looks quite nice. BUT, it is quite scummy that TLG wants you to get the Knuckles mech for the master emerald itself, I can kinda see the intentions with combining sets, but some recent sets in the past two years did it way better. The additional builds at the base of the shrine are pretty good too, love the little grape vine as a reference to them being Knuckles' favourite food and the punching bag is a cute sidebuild, even the little bed under the shrine is honestly alright. Not gonna talk about the grape catapult much, but I can respect the choice to give Amy something to use her hammer on. Overall, a pretty good looking set with fun little builds and play features that Sonic fans could use as a display piece. The lack of the master emerald itself does bring it down a bit, but otherwise, its pretty much worth your money. 7.5/10 Egg Drillster The minifigures in this one are pretty good, but the best of the bunch is Super Sonic, easily. Perfectly captures the transformation in minifigure form and the fact they used an entirely new head mold definitely gives it a leg up. It's always nice to get another Shadow since he is also one of the best figures in the theme, especially if he also has the same angry look that Knuckles has. (Shame they didn't give him a gun as an accessory tho haha) The inclusion of Eggman is justified, but I do with they did something different with him. Both badnik builds are quite charming, but I'm more biased towards the Egg Pawn, it looks cute and is pretty posable for a little guy which makes it better, but I feel like it should have gotten the minifigure treatment so that you could army build with them throughout the theme since they're the backbone of Eggman's army, and to be honest, I still think it should be made into one in the future. Aside from that little gripe, a nice brickbuilt figure to include. The lab build has a surprising amount of things going on in spite of its small size, the little picture of Shadow and Maria on the computer is the big standout and it's honestly kind of a sweet thing that TLG included. The wall is very basic but it gets the job done and the pattern it has is alright. the desks on the other hand are filled with fun little additions, mainly the compact forms of Orbot and Cubot. (When are we gonna get a brickbuilt form of the former anyway?) Now the Egg Drillster itself, a fantastic build that performs its main feature well, really does bring back memories of the Thunder Driller from Power Miners. Some might say the different look it has compared to how it appeared in the 1992 game is ugly, but I think it's a good way of modernizing it. The other features are the cherry on top, the flick-fire egg missiles are just so Lego-like and the ability to detach the cockpit from the build gives it that little extra playability, Overall, a genuinely great set with a solid main build and nice brickbuilt enemies for Shadow to fight. The lab could have been improved on a little bit more, but it serves its purpose well and doesn't subtract from the sets quality at all. 8.5/10 I don't have the Adventure boat since I'm still thinking about if I truly want it or not, so I can't really give my opinions on it. All in all, these sets are a solid way of rounding out this year of Lego Sonic with new characters and builds and I'm looking forward to seeing what builds 2025 has to offer and who they'll make into minifigures next (I've got my fingers crossed for Egg Pawn, Whisper and the Chaotix) -

Gonna be completely honest, not looking forward to a Formula 1 series at all. That budget would have been better off being used for a new gaming IP to get the CMF treatment -

I was thinking of a western equivalent of Nexo Knights, but a revival of the 90's western theme sounds good too -

Yeah, I was really hoping that the burger would be a minifig battle pack for some of the other skins that didn't make it
