A collectible minifigure series featuring Hanna-Barbera characters. Not just A-list characters, like The Flintstones, The Jetsons or Yogi Bear, but also B-list characters like Secret Squirrel, Atom Ant and Winsome Witch. I would love it if LEGO made a minifigure of Winsome Witch, the good witch with a cheerful personality from her self-titled mid-1960s cartoon shorts, which aired during The Secret Squirrel Show. Just like many B-list Hanna-Barbera cartoon characters, she was recently featured in HBO Max's Jellystone, created by animator C.H. Greenblatt. "Ippity-pippity-pow!"

I love that Speed Champs Delorean.

That's also been my preferred choice for storing instruction booklets. It's better than letting the booklets sit around, only to be thrown away by accident without knowing...

I found a huge storage tub filled with nearly 1,000 LEGO Duplo bricks and special pieces at a yard sale in one of my local neighborhoods yesterday for the grand total of $15.00. It took me a few houirs to sort out the Duplo bricks by color and sort out the specialized Duplo parts and minifigures, extacting anything that wasn't Duplo from the bin, as well as extracting Duplo parts and bricks that were either badly chewed-up or broken from the huge lot. I also had to sort everything I found into zipper bags. The bin was filled with an odd mix of older 1980s/1990s LEGO Duplo bricks/parts, some Bob the Builder, Winnie the Pooh and Beauty and the Beast elements...I finally have some new vintage LEGO Duplo items to sell on my BrickLink shop!

I'd like to nominate "Green Bay Bricks" as a trusted up and coming American seller of LEGO, Technic and Duplo products at BrickLink: https://store.bricklink.com/Justin_Hill_87#/shop

Even if they were to bring back the monorail system, they would have to build new molding machines to make the tracks and the electric parts, as well as the monorail train chassis, since the old molding machines are now lost to time, being buried into the foundation of one of the LEGO factories...
-
A monorail would be impossible to make on that scale, since I heard that even back in the 1980s and 1990s, the monorail sets did not sell well, and the molding machines used to make the track pieces were destroyed...

Even if LEGO has become dependent on licensed properties, they haven't forgotten about what has made the toy great in the first place...town, space, castle and pirates along with universal building sets (sold under the LEGO Classic brand) will always be there, but they've been sidelined by Star Wars and other IP...

A LEGO expert builder or modular buildings version of this classic Town set, 6390 Main Street from 1980, reissued as 10041 Main Street in the LEGO Legends line in 2003 If so, the new set would be inspired by the various Space, Castle and Pirate-themed LEGO sets that have been re-imagined with newer parts and designs:

The company that worked on the CGI for the Money for Nothing music video later worked on the CGI for the Saturday morning cartoon, ReBoot, a few decades later.

What next vintage set could be recreated by TLG ?
Justin replied to Khargeust's topic in General LEGO Discussion
Another thing that would be cool, is if they went a different, more unusual route with a remastered LEGO Town set altogether, and did a remake of a 1997 set from the LEGO Outback subtheme, the 6444 Outback Airstrip. They could make the building bigger, as well as the cargo plane (which would hold more cargo), and maybe it would give LEGO an excuse to make their first LEGO kangaroo animal... -

Maybe if they modernize the Main Street set to LEGO City and keep many of the original 1980s LEGO Town colors for classic aesthetics, add a really tall crane to construct a blue ten-story skyscraper hotel (instead of the original two-story structure), maybe it could work... They could even go as far as adding a few more buildings to make the updated Main Street set feel more like a fleshed-out urban downtown area, including an Octan gas station (an updated version of the 1980 Exxon gas station), as well as a small 1950s drive-in restaurant with carhops, a hardware store, a bank, plus a few more vehicles, including a 1950s convertible with shark fins modeled after a 1956 Ford Thunderbird, as well as a modern city bus... -

How about an updated version of Paradisa's Dolphin Point Lighthouse... I think it can be possible. They should do what did with the Galaxy Explorer and the castle, and give Main Street a modern re-imagining... Saying that City and Creator do the same thing is "quitter talk." I think LEGO could do better than that for a "special edition" set based off the original Main Street...
