But then I realized that these sets were targeted towards adults. Same with that Friends tv show set. If adult related themes like this can show us that Lego cares about its adult fanbase, I'm willing to adapt. Edited September 13, 2019 by pooda Quote

That would epic if they did do something with The Lion King. Would it sell though is the question. Quote

The Island Chronicles Posted September 13, 2019 Posted September 13, 2019 Another one I want to see real bad is a bus drivers ubtheme for City. I mean buses sell just as well as police sets cars, fire trucks, garbage trucks and ambulances. In this theme, the buses and the terminal are yellow and green. 60281 Bus Terminal - This acts as the base set for the subtheme. Includes a yellow and green terminal building and a yellow and green 35 foot bus. 60282 Cycle N Ride - This is basically a re-release of set number 60154 Bus Station. Thought I'd rename it "Cycle N Ride" since there wasn't really a station in there. Includes a bus stop and a yellow and green 40 feet bus. 60283 Downtown Bus Ride - Includes the first ever articulated bus. Its yellow and green with a bendy piece in between it. 60284 Shuttle Service - Includes green and yellow shuttle bus with a handicapped elderly man. Quote

Like there's a bunch of parts you might need for a MOC in that set and instead of showcasing the official set, you divide it up into the bins (of organization or not) and use the pieces for whatever you want.

Gomek Posted September 14, 2019 Posted September 14, 2019 If they had a (non-boring) history theme with all under $30 sets featuring 3 to 4 unique minifigures each, I would buy everyone. Every Last One. Roman Soldiers, Cavemen, Samurai, Egyptian, Conquistadors. This is a no-brainer. Quote

No, as long as we don't get full blown themes of Friends, Big Bang Theory, etc. One and done sets (even two) ar eperfectly fine in my opinion, but I don't think LEGO should stretch itself too thin over licenses if possible.

That would be a smart idea. I did at one point recommend that Lego should stick to generic content. But then I realized how dumb that sounded. I wish Eurobricks allowed us to delete our comments.

Gomek Posted September 17, 2019 Posted September 17, 2019 The theme that we need is anything NOT high concept. Just bring back a normal theme that lets the consumer fill in the blanks. Anything that's castle, space, monster, Egyptian, Roman, pirates would be great. Quote

Radrix Posted September 18, 2019 Posted September 18, 2019 We need a new constraction theme. Something new and interesting, like Bionicle was at it's beginning. Or just reboot Slizer. Quote
lego the hutt Posted September 24, 2019 Posted September 24, 2019 (edited) With the Bobs Burgers movie coming out next year and the show being in season 10. Now is the time. My family would buy every set made. Also, 2 Dune movies and a live action TV show are on the way. Just take my money. Edited September 24, 2019 by lego the hutt Quote

The Island Chronicles Posted December 27, 2019 Posted December 27, 2019 Who wants to see a set based on Degrassi: The Next Generation? The one with the original characters like Jimmy, Paige, Marco, Spinner, etc. Quote
