Tazmaniac Posted April 13, 2011 Posted April 13, 2011 I've read numerous times in this thread that they wouldn't make themes reminiscent of video games, why? Granted I've never seen one, but it never occurred to me either. Yes, this is an honest question cause I never read/heard that before reading it here. Well the way I see it LEGO uses the medium of video games to pormote it's building toys (LEGO system) not it's building toy to promote video games... if that makes sense. I can't see what a video game theme would do for LEGO sure they would sell some units but ultimately the game scores the publicity. LEGO encourages creativity and imagination where as very few video games do, so I don't see the conection. I'd love to see my favorite video game characters come to life in Minifig form but it's just not good business for LEGO. Quote
Gregorovich Posted April 13, 2011 Posted April 13, 2011 Most of you are right about why they shouldn't/couldn't be made into themes, but remember: this thread's about Dream LEGO Licenses! Quote
Connect-A-Owen4000 Posted April 13, 2011 Posted April 13, 2011 Cause that would be the only way they could sell I was talking to lightningtiger. Quote

That is one of the reasons. Another reason can play into this, is that Lego doesn't license competing parties (for example, if they have DC, they will no do Marvel, and vice versa). So say if Lego ever did Halo, they cannot do Mario. -Omi Quote
lightningtiger Posted April 13, 2011 Posted April 13, 2011 I was talking to lightningtiger. Pardon me saying so, but when you post in a topic everyone can read it so everyone can reply to it as well. Anyway back on topic, only last night I started watching 'Things To Come', a classic sci-fi film from 1936. In it you can see where Mad Max II came from, but it's the tanks which are AWESOME in it (might MOC one actually). So my suggestion now is Classic Sci-Fi, rocket ships from Flash Gordon, Buck Rogers, etc., and I mean classic pre-1960's space ships and weapons with minifigs. Keep on suggesting ! Quote
sok117 Posted April 13, 2011 Posted April 13, 2011 I was talking to lightningtiger. you know, you remind me an awful lot of this member, he got banned for doing the exact thing your doing if I'm not mistaken. And your usernames are awfully similar... Quote
Capt.JohnPaul Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 you know, you remind me an awful lot of this member, he got banned for doing the exact thing your doing if I'm not mistaken. And your usernames are awfully similar... Yeah, they do sound the same, plus the posts are similar. For example, they posted in this thread and suggested South Park and Total Drama. I thought the mods could find a way to see if someone made multiple accounts? Sorry for just coming in here like this, but some people just sound like brats. And of course LEGO wont do licensed video game sets because: For like, every licensed theme, they made a video game and that would compete with the non lego video game. Back on topic. I would like to see a LEGO Monty Python and the Holy Grail Battle LA (though I think a little too violent to be a theme) Ranger's Apprentice (it's a book line and I could see some very top notch sets) Quote

Back on topic. I would like to see a LEGO Monty Python and the Holy Grail Battle LA (though I think a little too violent to be a theme) Ranger's Apprentice (it's a book line and I could see some very top notch sets) Would we get a sparrow and more witches? Anyway, Battle LA would be cool, get some official soldiers in some nice looking camo, but yeah, too violent of a movie for a LEGO theme. Ranger's Apprentice is a possibility. Though I haven't read the books, a good theme could be the Alex Rider books. Would probably sell well with the kids. Diary of a Wimpy Kid may also do well. Quote
Miss Kyle Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 Though I haven't read the books, a good theme could be the Alex Rider books. Would probably sell well with the kids. Diary of a Wimpy Kid may also do well. Alex Rider would make an amazing Lego theme, the books are quite popular AND there was a film :D And Lego has done lots of secret agent themes before, so why not give Alex a go? I'm not so sure about Wimpy Kid, I think it would fit into the City theme, don't you think? Quote
lightningtiger Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 Oh, now my turn for a crazy suggestion....... Nothing else to add there.....keep on suggesting ! Quote
KotZ Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 I'm not so sure about Wimpy Kid, I think it would fit into the City theme, don't you think? Well, I could see that, but when you think about it, couldn't any LEGO theme be in City? Star Wars would be the people who make up the 501st and dress up, Harry Potter same thing, Indiana Jones as part military contractor group and musuem curator, etc. Oh, now my turn for a crazy suggestion....... SNIP Nothing else to add there.....keep on suggesting ! Haha I loved that show when I was kid! So many ideas for sets. I can see BreakJaw's helmet or some sort of variant as Jimmy's braces Eddy would have the short stubby legs, maybe get a nice new bike, the possibilities are endless! Quote
Neztromix Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 Title explains it all. I don't know if this has been suggested before, but how about a LEGO Phineas and Ferb? Quote
Parrothead Rasmus Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 (edited) I would love a James Bond line... and a Lord of the Rings line (maybe not next year, but when the Hobbit comes out). Edited May 23, 2011 by Parrothead Rasmus Quote
lightningtiger Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 Oh, dear.....we all ready have a topic for this.....Dream Licenses I ask a MOD to look at this topic. Brick On ! Quote

I don't tink LEGO would do Adventure time, considering the fact that it can, at times, be very rude. Good ideas for sets though! Quote
lightningtiger Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 I don't tink LEGO would do Adventure time, considering the fact that it can, at times, be very rude. Good ideas for sets though! Yep, I agree. This show is a PG rated one, plus the scenes and characters lend to being only Duplo style anyway.......I highly doubt it. Suggest On ! Quote
Peppermint_M Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 I am going to make myself heard: TRON. Very much. Please? I know it has been suggested before, but it must be done! (If it hasn't been suggested, what is wrong with you people?) Plenty of cool sets to be made, even more cool boxart to be done. Limited new parts needed the only issue is possible printing, but they are making a stellar effort in the CMs, so it can be done with what they have. Quote
lightningtiger Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 Yeah, I wouldn't mind a lightcycle myself.....but sadly I don't think the new movie was a boxoffice hit so Disney went kid friendly with Lego with Cars2 and POTC (kids love pirates ). How about a wild idea like fusion of DC comic characters with Marvel characters - Iron Man fighting along side Batman ! Suggest On ! Quote

Parrothead Rasmus Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 I know it's for tweens and teens, but I'd like some Percy Jackson sets. Those'd be good... Quote
Glitch System Posted May 24, 2011 Posted May 24, 2011 (edited) I would love to see TRON sets, especially if they had some new light up elements! Percy Jackson sets would be pretty interesting too Edited May 24, 2011 by Glitch System Quote
