    Offtopic, it seems like even Chinese cloners know what LEGO Dimensions should do .

    Warning: the images contained below are not for the faint-hearted. Proceed at your own risk. Currently Taiwan is under the attack by Cloners. They mostly live under the shadow of independent bookstores or small chain retailers. Kinda cool, but sadly the faces don't make good matches. Outdated. I have a feeling that we'll eventually see the Parallel Dimension...... uhhhhhhh...... Ultra....man? Obviously Chinese factories have lots of Chima stocks left, so they are just making the best use. .... umhmmm... Wait, should it be LEGO Dimensions' duty?

    The case is somewhat different. The project appeared during the time when Frozen castle set wasnt' announced. However, since Disney is still in cooperation with LEGO, it should be predictable to see an official set and this project would be rejected very possibly.

    Uh, just based on the Superheroes' case, we put superheroes and supervillains put in the same box because we use them to tell the same story. Now the lack of villains so far may be due to different reasons (lack of character mold design, lack of market appeal), but it would be unrealistic if you expect LEGO to release sets that only feature villains.

    I'm surprised that they got the K'Nex license, would that say Super Mario and Zelda would eventually go to LEGO one day? Also, Hasbro is the other major cooperative company that introduced Telepods for AB, so I'd wonder why we're not going to see KRE-O AB in the first place? AB is obviously a neat choice for LEGO. I'd like to collect all AB characters, expecially the Stella's cute friends from Golden Island would appeal more girls to play LEGO. Uh, my personal comment is "I don't like it how all these good, popular, and reasonable set ideas get rejected on LEGO Ideas, but then they do the licenses in a crossover video game". We shouldn't compare disparate things in the same topic. Why rejecting licenses would say that LEGO shouldn't get other licenses?

    As long as all things should base on the orignial project, getting rid of some characters could literally infuriate fans. It could also be that, without new prints, they're just ordinary flesh figures that don't need diverse parts, and LEGO is fine with that.I hate to see some other official licensed sets with relatively fewer figures, due to ignoring some other characters who existed in the correspondent scene of the show or film. It should be nice that LEGO use one single set to cover most main characters. For example, we probably won't see Clara Clayton in a shor time....

    Interesting, I guess LEGO airport collectors would be happy to embrace this violet plane more than the private jet, But is it's just me or the main pilot, using Andrew's face, looks too young..?An independent resort airport series would be interesting, but perhaps targeted girls wouldn't like to see a whole wave feature a city-like subtheme. Just got to see Pop Star Limousine in my local store. I feel like something is missing there, but perhaps Palace Cinema can complement with it.

    I just saw the house set in my local. It's a good move that LEGO introduce "my first LEGO house" from regular sets. But generally, as I said before, it's obviously covering Friends' range, so I don't get that why LEGO isn't doing Junior Friends, since the torsos and even faces are original and exclusive at this point. I always know Wyldstyle's hairpiece is useful, but I kinda worry that she'll be losing her signature (without the dye, probably). Although Ninjago heroes seem not afraid of that.

    Yeah, by the time when Ninjago was in plan, CMF ninja was a kinda weird being for lack of own features. If there is a Kunoichi one day, expect to see more historical references on her but not a new color of Skylor. TLM was fine to me. Some of the master builders were unrelated to the storyline and rather looks like ordinary CMFs, which doesn't really please me. For a Ninjago CMF series, maybe some movie-exclusive foes and some TV sidekicks that haven't been used before.

    As I know, if that's a codified rule, that's not about even passing, but should be violating so that the project could be deleted in the first place? Not very sure if that really affects. Well, not saying that I expect all projects to achive, there is only "reasonable" decision but not "perfect" outcome. The word perfect may be used when most voters' dream are fulfilled and feel happy about this.

    I would say that.... I wish Ninjago to continue but doesn't monopolize the whole LEGO advertising. so that LEGO can pay attention to new action themes or other existed themes that lack advertisings. I think the cartoon series (tied with a product wave) should be once a year. The other upcoming season is abit too fast to me. Otherwise, since Chima comes to an end. there could be another series take that place. The premise is that its diversities is as good as the TLM series. We should consider the unused cartoon characters first, and some of the ninja tournament contestants were probably good choices.Oh. and remember to put Misako in any regular set.
  12. Dorayaki
    Just back from work these days.... first, the ones with existed licenses are excluded, and one common problem for these projects is that they are just too huge, so I don't expect them to pass. The only one that I think it could pass and interest common consumers is the Piano project. It has no licensing issue and is also close to the Ideas projects catalogue. If I have to find a reason, well, piano sets do appear in some of the official LEGO lines so TLG might worry that it conflicts with Friends or Creator. But in general, its still a shame that the review doesn't give two at once. I still congratulate the Maze being the very first project that doesn't based on characters, vehicles or animals, but playability.

    > additional well-known brands and expansion packs joining the adventure Great, with most local LEGO themes ABSENT. That sounds really fun, huh? With DW sets coming, the hairpiece deal is just same like Shaggy's one. Dr Brown might be abit abscure. Hope that it's a sign for some regular sets (I don't think it's due to DW if LEGO is going to do one generation only). To be honest, I think the Cuusoo set could have done this hairpiece but didn't just due to cost rules. It kinda reminds me of Henrik Kowalski from City Undercover, but in a closer look the shape wasn't exactly the same.. The miniature train.... I hope that Mr. togami can get through it along with most of us.

    Considering it's another rejected licensed from a set project, I wouldn't say this is a good news. I'll keep looking forward how LEGO make the best use of the franchises they try to get regardless of how FOLs think. But generally I think Padme's short bun hairpiece works better for this Chell. To me, the weird thing is that the new DW haipiece is not only exclusive in the pack so far (probably in a regular set in the future), but it should be more suitable for the Ghostbuster set for the character whose hairpiece was forced to change. Well, I'll keep being positive in the future. I think the major problem of LEGO's decision could be that they're making Ideas/Cuusoo look like a market testing system rather than a dream-come-true system. Although LEGO do keep approving new projects, their decision on rejecting licensed source would lose the faith from voters--- not because they can't do the licenses, but they don't do the licenses via the fanbase system.Also, if Ideas is considered an independent theme, the whole licencing move would be relatively unfair to non-licensed Ideas products such like Exo Suit and RI despite there are really no specific personalities for now. It's just what happening to LEGO's regular themes.

    It's probably the worst one of all assumptions. Although I believe that some of the projects were rejected due to their lack of availability, after a series of deep assessment, I think it's just impolite to ignore or despise of the needs of all FOLs. I'd rather see exclusive licenses that had nothing to do with Ideas.The only exceptions are that most voters only care about minifigures (which means figure packs can end this case), or certain licenses obviously don't fit in regular sets scale. Oz and Portal don't fit in both, I guess.
  16. Dorayaki
    It's sometimes weird to find out that Ninjago fanarts mostly assume the characters fleshie people despite their names don't indicate definite Asian descents. Exo-force characters are official ones, but at least they all use Japanese names. Although yellow isn't the very natural color for real actors, I think I'm fine with seeing characters mixed with flesh, yellow and other kinds of skins in TLM. In an individual view, I think how the characters look like their counterparts matters the most. This might bother purist customizers sometimes, however, even the original LEGO themes begin to introduce more kinds of skin colors themselves (not saying Friends, but those non-human characters). It's difficult to say that stopping giving licensed fleshie figures could end this case.
  17. Dorayaki
    It could be abit too coicnident for Ideas/Cuusoo to hit all the potential LEGO licenses. Beside, Dimension packs haven't ensured other regular sets so far, so it's probably the least possible, or the worst reason for rejection.As for SW, it was the very first LEGO license and it's hirstoricall meaningful, so I'm sure some of us would regard SW as a must-have being in LEGO licensed roster especially when so many licenses involve in this game. About the current roster, as said, despite how appealing the newly-attractive licenses are, I don't feel quite happy about the low proportion of LEGO's original characters. It's kinda against how much LEGO tried to advertise their own media works to compete with other toy brands so far. The exclusive licenses would be tricky for traditional LEGO fans. Of course, a pack would ensure at least one figure and some physical bricks, but in the reverse aspect, their existence is still not stronger than those regular themes. It obviously relies on the fanbase of the licenses more than older FOLs.

    Suppose that the whole things do relate to the marketing research between video game fanbase and Idea's votes, it makes sense and the "Portal" could be in that meaning. But of course, this is just getting more controversial. It's not about LEGO, but I wonder, suppose that IJ and SW's absense do relate to Disney, does it relatively ensure a bigger chance for the two franchises to join Disny Infinity just like Marvel? If not, this means nothing for fans of both franchise.
  19. Dorayaki
    Agree... if there are just many additional unlockable characters like older LEGO PC games have, the interactive play would be meaningless. But that means this game would be relatively restricted if it's unable to provide as many characters as other LEGO games do for now.Hopefully this leaves room for a second wave of character packs featuring more themes. Otherwise, if Dimensions isn't successful enough, we could only get these confirmed characters in the future. As said, if LEGO goes with having all physical figures, I'd be surprised alittle bit with that Chima packs are also in this line rather than just giving unphysical characters.Yeah, please bring us any Portal set along with Oz .
  20. Dorayaki
    Uh wait, let's make it back to the topic. First, if it's a true list, does the list mean to show all phyisical minifigures that would be released in supplemental packs? And if that's true, do we also have characters unlockable via game but without physical packs that don't appear in this list?
  21. Dorayaki
    I tried to vote for most projects in the top rankings, but still not all of them survive this, sadly. If I have to choose the most pitiful project creater, I'd say togami due to most of his BTTF projects underestimated by LEGO and voters.
  22. Dorayaki
    Hope not, because that's gonna ensure my absense in the theater (sorry if this sounds harsh). I expect a bigger change of the core team next time.Yes, this pic looks abit floaty....
  23. Dorayaki
    In darves' case, it should relate to minifigure's counterpart characters like Gimli. Short legs should be one of the most common part for toy figures, which is also useful for kiddy charcters. Friends also failed in not introducing any kind of physical child character despite those younger Heartlake residents do exist in the storytelling. I think LEGO is able to introduce some generic dwarves. Though, if it's Snow White's case, the Disney characters might all need original head molds to represent their clumsiness. If we refer trolls to non-minidoll figures, we may actually just reuse the version of Castle with new and cuter prints. Dark elves would be very appealing to me if LEGO could face and deal with making beautiful or sophisticated villain characters.
  24. Dorayaki
    Well, if you've heard the discussion about DC's possible minidoll line, the brand thing isn't all about being exclusive to a certain figure. It's rather weird to say that Friends couldn't do anything with starter sets or minifigure sets.
  25. Dorayaki
    It would be nice to see more different kinds of legendary species introduced via this theme, however, as long as elves are the main characters of this theme, it's difficult to imagine that LEGO would like to introduce more parts for non-protagonists human-like creatures in this theme, excluding mermaid minidolls introduced by Disney. Of course, we could see new species in Chima and Ninjago so perhaps Elves could do. But it may be abit controversial if the minidoll range begin to introduce exclusive creatures that minifigures can't have.
