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.

I like this music video! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wTP2RUD_cL0 I want my...I want my...I want my MTV!

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...

It would be cool if they did a remake of the Space Police II Galactic Mediator...

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...

I just hope the next LEGO set to get a remake is a Classic Town set, like Main Street (from 1980). I could picture the buildings, minifigures and vehicles being updated to the new LEGO City design, while the new road plate system is used to great effect...

That was also my first Star Wars set.

Harold Lloyd hung from a clock in the era of silent films on "Safety Last," while Christopher Lloyd (no relation to Harold) did the same in the era of modern films with the "Back to the Future " trilogy of films..."Back to the Future" even referenced this film in the beginning of "Back to the Future," since a picture of the clock scene from "Safety Last" was among the the items found in Doc Brown's collection of clocks during the opening credit sequence...

To me, some of the LEGO Dreamzzz sets conjure up some Adventure Time-like fantasy vibes...

When they did bring back older LEGO sets as part of the Legends limited releases, such as the Guarded Inn, Main Street or the Century Skyway (under the name City Airport), they had to make part substitutions, as there were parts that were discontinued since the 1970s, 1980s, 1990s and 2000s at LEGO that had updated part equivalents (one-piece road signs from the 1970s-early 1990s were swapped out with modular two-piece road signs that consisted of a post and clip-on signage (first introduced in the late 1990s), parts that used to not have stud notches now have them, and the studded wheel/axle plate combo (with a metal axle) from the 1970s/1980s was replaced with modern studless wheels with separate axle plates (which started appearing in LEGO sets by 1984)...

Ever since LEGO started licensing Star Wars and Harry Potter building sets, they ended up opening Pandora's box, and since that day, licenses for other properties (Disney, Nickelodeon, Marvel Comics, DC Comics, Nintendo, etc.) started taking up valuable shelf space in the LEGO aisle of every discount store, hobby store and toy store...

I hope that we can get a few sets based on some of the more iconic scenes and vehicles from the film. I would love to see the Twin Pines Mall parking lot time travel experiment translated into a set, as well as the scene where lightning strikes the courthouse's clocktower, returning Marty and the Delorean to 1985 from 1955. I would also like to see a set based on the cafe and the scene where Biff crashes into a manure truck after chasing Marty through Downtown Hill Valley in 1955, as well as the 2015 hoverboard chase scene that ends with Griff and his hoverboard gang crashing through the entrance of the Courthouse Mall translated into a LEGO set.

I love the new supermarket. I hope to buy more than one copy to double the size of the building and more features that are found on most real supermarkets, like automatic sliding doors, more than one shopping cart, meat department with butcher, bakery with baker, frozen foods, etc. Maybe I could also add a motorized spinning rooftop sign, too.

I like the references to LEGO themes of the past, including Znap, as well as the Adventurers, Paradisa, Classic Space, etc. sets inside the LEGO store, with the branding of the elevated train being a nod to the Airport Shuttle monorail set. It's similar to the Galidor reference they dropped in Ninjago City...

For the price, the LEGO Monkie Kid City of Lanterns building set does not fail...I love it! An entire city in a box (with its own mode of transportation) which is from a theme based on a modern sequel to the ancient Chinese story Journey to the West, a set not quite as expensive (or on the same level) as Ninjago City, but with the target demographic of China in mind. At least when compared to the previous waves' biggest, most expensive sets, it does not break the bank as much. There are some bigger $200 sets in the whole line that break the bank...
