Welcome to Eurobricks!

Hi, I recently discovered that in 1995, the LEGO group commissioned a Danish composer to compose "LEGO Fantasia", a symphonic piece that was later performed in 1997 and released in 1998. I found the work and some minor info about it on the composer's website, but I was wondering if anyone had any further information about it? All the information I've found so far has been added to this Brickipedia article. The most recent thing I can find about it is from an eBay auction from August 2013, saying that the CD is "very rare". If anyone has any more information about this, I'd love to know it!

Personally I think that all the LEGO themes could be in the same universe like the movie showed it, except for Bionicle since that went on making a huge universe of its own. Basically a LEGO collection on its own is an entire universe with multiple themes in the same universe (or table ). All these years, the only theme that's really defined it own universe is Bionicle, so there's nothing keeping other themes from being in the same universe as each other. That's how I look at it.

I wish I could find a document stating it, but I can attest this is true, as it was part of a presentation done by TLG at BrickFair Virginia in 2013.

I don't see how it's any more part of the Architecture line than Mariana Bay Sands. As far as I know it's the same situation; the set is exclusive to a specific country/region, but is still an Architecture set.

The only info I have is what is on the Brickipedia article, which you've probably already looked at. Just the release time, ages and Danish price. I wish there was more info (or at least official pictures).

CM4S, your image made me hungry. I do like how Mixels are being stocked in stores. It's a lot like CMFs.

I know, right? There are so many cool architectural things in Rome, but the problem I see of why they don't make too many sets from things there is that the architecture has too many religious connotations or that things there are partially crumbled like the Colosseum, which would be hard to replicate at the same detail in a small scale.

Brickset is currently down working on migrating to a new server and adjusting its DNS to get its infrastructure better working. If you want to stay up to date on its server work, you could follow @brickset on Twitter. Hope that helps!

The editing interface is much better, the reading interface is much easier to use and less cluttered by advertisements. The site loads faster due to a rebuilt core. There are more development capabilities that allow for any additional things we want to develop, unlike on Wikia. There are some other things, but those are the most-important.

Hello everyone at Eurobricks! Today, Brickimedia, a new LEGO fan network primarily focused towards encyclopedias such as Brickipedia, is officially launching! While some of you may have heard of Brickimedia before, it unfortunately went offline due to a data loss in June, but has been reconstructed completely from the ground up since. Today is the official relaunch of Brickimedia. For those of you who don't know what Brickimedia is, it's a new LEGO fan network that includes Brickipedia, the LEGO encyclopedia that I'm sure you know about. Brickipedia was formerly hosted on Wikia, a free wiki hosting site, that didn't really work for Brickipedia. Wikia's interface was covered in ads and social features that disrupted reading and editing of the encyclopedia, which isn't good. To make up for that, 8 years after Brickipedia first launched, we've created Brickimedia, our self-hosted platform that has been built especially to meet our needs as a LEGO fan site. Now, you may be wondering what this all means. Since Brickipedia is leaving Wikia, and Wikia doesn't particularly like that, we can't just delete lego.wikia.com. Brickipedia is now at http://en.brickimedia.org, but the Wikia version will still be up. Brickimedia's version has all the same stuff, and to help Brickimedia out, it would be most beneficial to use http://en.brickimedia.org and link to it when you use it instead of lego.wikia.com. Not too much to ask. You can also freely edit any article on Brickipedia now, unlike on Wikia! You don't even need an account, but if you want to make an account, or at least claim your username, click here. Anyways, currently Brickipedia is updating all of its 2014 articles and making sure it has sufficient images. Bear with us for the next few weeks while we get things up to date; the new year has brought a lot of work for us to take care of. Also, Brickimedia is hosting more than just Brickipedia. Some other wikis, which are smaller, include: Brickimedia Customs, where users can submit custom MOCs, minifigures and themes LEGO CUUSOO Wiki, an encyclopedia especially for CUUSOO stuff LEGO Stories Wiki, a fanfiction site, primarily made up of LEGO Universe and Ninjago stuff More may follow. Also, if you're a person who likes code, Brickimedia's source is completely open source, built on top of the MediaWiki software (same software that runs Wikipedia). Post any feedback you have of the new site in the replies, please, and if you have any further questions, don't be afraid to ask!

Ninjago was "Mezmo" I think, and because it's a useful and common name to describe confusion or hypnosis.

Wait wait wait... We're getting MORE tribes? How many does this bring our total up to? 16 or something? There's seriously too many here.

Memories of what?

From what I know, that's pretty much correct. The story behind a theme is generally something that I believe set designers and product managers come up with while designing the theme and the sets.

It's already been established that they do:

Good job on this. The waist posability is really nice, and the armouring is not too bad either. Nice work.

I must have missed it originally, but I just realised how cool the Speedor in 70138 Web Dash is.

I agree with you there. I was a fan of Bionicle while it was around, but anymore, I've "moved on". I'd rather not just keep having the same old thing forever-- I like a new idea, a new concept. A new constraction theme is something I'd love to see, which is part of why I'm excited for Mixels in March 2014.

From my work at the English Wikipedia, I feel the need to tag this with "No source".

With those examples you just named, you're naming themes in the same genres succeeding each other (space, castle, etc), while we only know this an "action figure" theme. Hero Factory is about robot heroes on fictional planets. Bionicle is about robot heroes on fictional planets. This unconfirmed 2015 theme could be about something completely different. They can coexist. LEGO's never had some rule that says two action figure themes can't exist at the same time.

I think they could be considered to be so for the same reason(s) that Slizers can be considered constraction.
