Thanks for the link just2good.

Extremely unlikely. Given that rebels is coming out next month and episode vii comes out next year all large sets will be in that general direction. Particularly considering a cloud city could appear in at least one if not both. I imagine the winter wave of 2015 will be last of the PT sets we see for awhile since they were most likely already in the pipeline before Disney took over. Disney likes to put things away in their vault and bring them back much later so they are fresh again. I would expect much the same for PT thus focusing everyone's attention on the new trilogy.

LEGO Seasonal Reindeer (40092) and LEGO Seasonal Turkey (40091)
Darth Punk replied to Robert8's topic in Special LEGO Themes
The turkey is not bad, my daughters will love it. Wish the head wasn't grey. As for the reindeer I think I'll pass. Looks like something from South Park, but not in a good way. -

What made you get out of your LEGO dark age?
Darth Punk replied to BearHeart's topic in General LEGO Discussion
For me it was a combination of my oldest daughter discovering Legos and the monster fighters line. I'm a big fan of halloween and the MF line was a perfect way to get back. -
These are the troops we are looking for. Thanks for the link!

Those look like OT troopers in the itt.

In regards to a cloud city being broken up into multiple sets there is this http://www.hothbricks.com/2014/09/lego-star-wars-the-dark-side-quelques-indices-futurs-sets/. Not sure if it's ever been done before but the I am you father scene would be awesome.

All licenses are unique. That is the crux of the issue at hand. People expect if one licensed line does something then they all should be able to do so. The objective of the various license holders can be very different and it often reflected in the products. While Fox may love having cmfs that doesn't mean that Warner bros is interested. While Disney/Lucas films embraces battle packs doesn't mean other license holders view them as necessary let alone beneficial. Yes TLG could make all sorts of cmf lines, but that doesn't mean they are interested or see it as a direction they want to go in. Throw in a licensed line where there are all sorts of other parties involved that could care less if you get your complete collection of minifigs. The point being is none of these decisions are simple. It's not just TLG driving the bus when it comes to licenses and even when they are producing their own product there are always going to be limitations, give and take. That's the reality of any business no matter what their size. It could very well be TLG has already been considering licensed cmf but up until now the situation has not been right. It's really hard to know when we are missing so much information that drive the decision making process. In the end we can only accept or not accept what TLG produces. That acceptance will lead to further success or failure and TLG will act accordingly. That is what will ultimately influence TLG, not the wishes of us here. I would love nothing more to see further licensed cmfs particularly ones I'm actually interested in. But I believe that desire should be balanced with the reality of business which prevent unnecessary disappointment and bitterness one some times see here.

I did say Simpsons was a unique situation which was really my point. That it couldn't necessarily be applied to other lines as many seem to hope. It's more an exception to the rule that may or not may not be applied in limited fashion in the future. No line is ever going to feature all the characters nor is it the objective of a line and people just need to accept that fact. There is only so much time and space for sets and to be so focused on a few missing minifigs is to miss a much larger picture that drives the success of TLG.

I view it more as they sent the crown to the jeweler because not all the gems went together. Nothing was ever said that any of the now non canon stories would never become canon in the future. This gives them the option to pick and choose the best gems and not just have to accept them all as priceless.

I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for licensed cmfs to become a regular facet of TLG's arsenal. The Simpsons was a unique situation in having a large array of characters, it's been around a long time and appeals to a wide age range. While other lines like Star Wars and superheroes share such traits, having a cmf line would undercut sales of sets often driven by the minifigs they contain. The Simpsons line worked due to only have a single d2c set not to mention having an active tv show still on the air. The cmf line in general works because it is not competing with current lines and in many cases acts as a nice supplement. TLG after all is not in the business to sell minifigs, they make money by selling you plastic bricks. Minifigs are often a part of the uniqueness of sets and if you undercut that you undercut a main selling point of a set.

Video is up and it looks great. Thank you just2good. Is the hat on the Bespin guard new? Possibly mean a cloud city next year?
-
Next year with the new movie coming out would be an ideal time to release a Star Wars junior set. With Disney now flying the falcon it's more likely such sets would be made. But it also depends on the success of the junior line in general which has a limited market. For those interested and haven't read the 2014 rumors forum.

And cup holders, too!

Was reported in the historical section.

We might find out very soon. TLG is announcing a new theme at New York comic con. http://www.thebrickfan.com/lego-announcing-new-theme-at-new-york-comic-con-2014/
-
Except that you see people saying that here all the time of sets that other people love. Plus the images may not even be the final product. And also the fact we had someone here in another forum making claims about the new sets who later recanted said claims. So I'll keep my head buried in the sands of treasure island and dream about the best pirate wave ever.
-
The lighthouse and ballon sound like cool ideas. Be nice to get some of those sail boats and a large pier too.
-
I was in my,dark ages for the last pirates so I am very happy to get anything at this point. I can see multiple purchases in my future.

Marvel Superheroes 2015 Rumors & Discussion
Darth Punk replied to CorneliusMurdock's topic in LEGO Licensed
Prices rarely are ever equal when converting currency. Otherwise prices in the u.s. would be significantly higher than in the u.k. -
I believe those would be called fairies.
-
Is that a series 2 Simpson cmf or just TLG continuing to sell the same minifigs?

Do you know if it looks anything like the one in the batman DK book? This one http://www.brickheroes.com/2014/08/rumeurs-invisible-jet-hulkbuster-en-2015/
