October 14, 20159 yr At this point, I'm now just hoping for the Scarecrow, the Tin Man and the Cowardly Lion minifigures And you are not the only one, my son wants every character.
October 14, 20159 yr IMHO Wicked the Musical is much better than The Wizard of Oz the Movie. Wicked the Book, however, is not better than the classic Wizard of Oz Book. I've read through the entire quadrilogy and while Gregory Maguire is brilliant at rewriting these characters, the books were a little impenetrable and the musical rescued them from oblivion, because a lot of people wouldn't have bothered to try and read them otherwise. I've never read the book but the musical is brilliant. 'Dancing Through Life' and 'Defying Gravity' are better than any of the moments from the Wizard of Oz film IMO.
October 15, 20159 yr I've never read the book but the musical is brilliant. 'Dancing Through Life' and 'Defying Gravity' are better than any of the moments from the Wizard of Oz film IMO. I've seen the musical twice now, and absolutely loved it both times. If they ever make their way to my part of the world again there might be a third...
October 15, 20159 yr I've let this conversation go for a while, hoping it would just fall away, but now I'll step in to say that this is not the place to discuss Wicked vs. Wizard of Oz or any related media. Even in the absence of anything to discuss here since we have absolutely zero indication that there will be more Wizard of Oz LEGO, this is still a LEGO Rumor & Discussion topic. Discussions of written and visual media belong in Culture & Multimedia. Thanks.
October 17, 20159 yr Hello, I found this site looking up this theme. While I have no proof, I have nothing to gain in misleading anyone. I email THG regulary about various themes and giving feedback and suggestions for them. I'm no insider, but about a week ago after another email to them, I recieved a call from one of the fine CSRs. During the conversation which lasted about 30 minutes, I was told outright that "I can see the yellowbrick road already." We also discussed the idea that Lego Dimensions should be supported by sets of locations and figures outside game. "Lord Vortech attack ing Oz, I love it." While I understand how this information will be viewed, I strongly suggest anyone who wants to Oz sets should send the info to TLG and say so.

May 26, 20168 yr Well now that the queen's dress piece is out that will be used for Glinda and now in series 16 there is a new dog if made in a dark brown would be Toto, no doubt. I feel they just keep hinting at some type of Wizard of Oz theme lego set or Lego dimensions set.
May 27, 20168 yr Totolly. This just made my day. In all seriousness, I would love to see TLG do more with Oz than the little they have done with Dimensions. I honestly feel like it would still sell well to kids--it's one of those properties that still seems to be able to move merchandise, despite how old the film is.
May 27, 20168 yr I would buy every single set they released if they ever made an Oz line. Always wanted to recreate Wicked in LEGO form.
May 27, 20168 yr I do hope something more comes out of the Wizard of Oz license. The Emerald City has the potential to be a beautiful set! Although if Lego ever expanded to other Oz works I don't think Wicked would appeal to me as much. I prefer the more classic characters like Ozma, Jack Pumpkinhead, Tick Tock, Mombi, The Nome King and to a lesser extent Tip and Jinjur. I think growing up with them and having plenty of exposure in the original novels, Return to Oz film, the late 80s anime and other cartoons they feel a bit more iconic and timeless to me.
May 27, 20168 yr I would buy every single set they released if they ever made an Oz line. Always wanted to recreate Wicked in LEGO form. Including a rendition of Defying Gravity?

May 27, 20168 yr (When I saw the whole serie 16, I imm) Sorry, I don't know what happened, maybe someone could delete this post please? :) Thank you Edited May 27, 20168 yr by notpennysboat
May 27, 20168 yr When I saw the whole serie 16, I immediately posted what I thought about the dog and Toto in series 16 topic but nobody noticed and I didn't know about this Wizard of Oz topic. Since the release of the wicked witch and the flying monkey (that I bought for my medieval fantasy theme), I'm hoping for a real theme. Those sets could be really fantastic. I wonder how LEGO could represent the sparkling shoes (I don't remember the English word for these specific shoes) and I also wonder if the lion will be like a costumed guys in CMF. The release of the book is in 1900 and the movie in 1939, maybe LEGO will wait an anniversary date, like 2019?

May 28, 20168 yr Every time I see pictures of the Oz characters in Dimensions I get a little wistful. I think TLG could hit it out of the park with one exclusive set--there was an excellent one on Ideas a couple of years ago.
September 7, 20168 yr I just found out lego made an hourglass piece. Lego is making me mad with them hinting lego wizard of oz. First lego dimensions, the queen dress piece, the toto dog mold from the collectable series, and now the hourglass.

September 10, 20168 yr Toto dog mold? Do you mean Trendsetter's dog? Also who would wear the queen dress? Glinda But why are we discussing this? I don't think there are going to be any Oz sets coming out...
September 10, 20168 yr I don't know I suggest this forum be locked or something unless some evidence shows up suggesting Oz sets. I suggest this forum be locked or something unless some evidence shows up suggesting Oz sets. Oops, didn't mean to double post
