Lt. Col. Thok Posted August 10, 2008 Posted August 10, 2008 Honestly, I've never really watched Spongebob much, but these three years of kits overall are really amazing. They've managed to capture the zany elements of the show with lots of funny details, really imaginative minifigs, and very well designed kits that are each a separate, unique story. I'm especially pleased that they've given multiple versions of Spongebob with different expressions - that really must add to the playability factor. I think that TLC really has learned some lessons about making Liscensed themese since the early years after the Starwars purchase. Back in the first half of this last decade, Lego made a lot of seemingly cheap and quick themes like NBA, Mickey Mouse, and the despised Galidor, while ruining other themes that could have been great - most notably Jurassic Park. Nowadays, TLC's liscensed efforts seem to be a lot more researched and well designed. This theme as well as others like Batman and Indiana Jones are some of the best we've had in recent years, and I can't wait to see what TLC does next. Too true, my fellow FOL - JP III had a lot of potential, but they ruined it by combining it with studios and Johnny Thunder (whose reputation was also tarnished). I don't seem to remember Mickey Mouse, though. Quote
Zarkan Posted August 11, 2008 Posted August 11, 2008 I don't seem to remember Mickey Mouse, though. It was an extremely short lived theme from 2000. Only 5 sets were made - none of them good. Quote
Shoc Posted August 11, 2008 Posted August 11, 2008 It was an extremely short lived theme from 2000. Only 5 sets were made - none of them good. Well, the pieces were very useful for Fabuland fans, but I thought the figures were a bit meh... :skull: Quote
