The Lego minifig and licensed themes are the only things that keep Lego king of the building brick companies. The competition has become very good. Only their minifigs suck and lack of licensing. But MegaBloks has the Game of Thrones license and their minifigs are rather good. You can actually recognize Emilia Clarke in the Daenerys minifig. Also proportions are better.

The Pegasus shield goes very well with the torso from the Paladin CMF. I have tried it. Looks good. Especially with a gold color plume on the helmet and a magenta cape

I check every day. When they're on PAB, I will let everybody know. Ofcourse after I made sure I ordered some.... hihi

That's why the Galaxy Explorer remake, Black Seas Barracuda remake and the Lion Knights castle 2022 are perfect sets to me : no stickers, a lot of prints, minifigs and no licensed theme. Just Lego perfectionism. And than there is the Lego Deathstar... I am a fan of the original trilogy (have them on Bluray) but I will never buy a Lego Starwars set : too expensive. For €1000 everything should be printed and minifigs with dual moulded legs. They even didn't bothers to include C3po with the dual moulded leg who is available in the buildable C3po. I'm curious to know how the sales of this set are.

I just prefer regular pirates without the fantasy Oh wow that looks fantastic!

For fantasy pirates we allready have pirates of the Caribbean

We did get the better version I think

Classic pirates and classic space are not popular enough to invest money in for the Lego company. Castle is the most popular theme from the classic themes...but Lego is Lazy. They just give us 4 new factions, a creator castle and that's it. They rely on amateur designers to design sets for their BDP program.

Yes, I completely agree with you.

Inflation is a means of the system to keep the rich ,rich and the poor ,poor.

€90 over here

Yep, me too. I never liked the fantasy era from castle. Also not a fan of Lord of the Rings despite having Rivendell on display. Human villains are far more interesting in films than Orcs ,White Walkers and what not.. Emperor Palpatine, Darth Vader, ( Starwars) King Joffrey , Cersei,(Game of thrones), the Sherrif of Nothingham ( played by the great Alan Rickman ) in Prince of thieves. Biff, Griff, Buford (Back to the future) They are all human and interesting villains. Blacktron and Wolfpack are excellent villains. Now we need SpacePolice 1 come back to arrest the Blacktron! Non human villains are too one dimensional ,too boring, too evil, just being evil for the sake of evil. Human villains are not 100% bad , they have emotions , motivs and so on ,interesting character development and so on

From I was a child I really wanted to see a ancient Rome theme. With senate, centurions,soldiers and ofcourse enemies like Egyptians , Carthago/Hannibal, barbarian tribes ( Kelts, Germanic tribes ), Judeans... It definitely would be popular among adults

Affirmative captain ! Affirmative captain! To baldly go where no haircap has gone before !

Maybe it was Data. You're right. I was a kid back than so it's a long time ago for me
