parsom Posted December 31, 2016 Posted December 31, 2016 Lego calendar says that in February "new Exclusive Lego Theme" will be revealed. Any ideas what it will be? Quote
Faefrost Posted December 31, 2016 Posted December 31, 2016 There is also a new "friends" style animal theme coming. So it could be any number of things. Quote

BubbaFit45531 Posted January 1, 2017 Posted January 1, 2017 One of my daily Lego news stops websites said Superheroes Brickheads and had pics of Superman with curly hair S and Wonder Woman. Quote
RetroInferno Posted January 2, 2017 Posted January 2, 2017 Anyone thinks the BrickHeadz are superflous? We already have mini-figs, constraction figures and mini-dolls, do we really need more ''character'' builds? Quote

Heck I don't think Megabloksbrandscontruxwtf has done particularly well with their line of similar character builds. I think they were shelf warmers. Quote

The BrickHeadz fill a very different niche than any of those others, as standardized static figurines (that are buildable, to boot). Constraction figures are the closest things to what the BrickHeadz represent, but are not necessarily a good fit for all themes (for instance, more realistically proportioned Ninjago figures would be bizarre given that the characters have really only been represented in the more stylized minifigure forms) and are substantially different from the BrickHeadz in both form and building experience.

rodiziorobs Posted January 2, 2017 Posted January 2, 2017 I don't think the BrickHeadz are superfluous, but I doubt they will sell very well. As noted, MEGA has been selling* similar builds for awhile, also based off of popular licenses such as Star Trek. *more like hasn't been selling. As Faefrost said, they've been shelfwarmers. My guess is that they will sell well to speculators, die-hard fans of the licensed IP, new parts enthusiasts who don't want to wait for Bricklink, curious builders who will buy one or two (but not much beyond that), and eventually, buyers like me who like to gobble up sets on clearance.

More akin to that Disney Pets line. Besides we already got Fabuland 2. It was called Legend of Chima. It was all about what happens when all the wolf and lion people figure out they can eat the fluffy bunny people, then get addicted to narcotics. It's kinda like the Fabuland version of that final scene from the Charlton Heston Planet of the Apes. Quote
Robert8 Posted January 3, 2017 Posted January 3, 2017 (edited) I'm more interested in the ADULTS ONLY night event on St Valentine Day O______O The hell LEGO.....??? Hey what leaked picture @Faefrost ? Edited January 3, 2017 by Robert8 Quote

Btw, that explanation of Legend of Chima is hilarious, I'm laughing my megablocks off Quote

Dharkan Posted January 3, 2017 Posted January 3, 2017 Brickheadz can sell very well if they can price it aggresively and match to Funko Pops. Quote
promobricks Posted January 3, 2017 Posted January 3, 2017 here is the new February store calendar: http://www.promobricks.de/lego-us-store-kalender-fuer-februar-2017-ist-da/24628 Cheers, Michael Quote
Aanchir Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 Like a lot of people, I'm guessing BrickHeadz. That's a theme that we know will be a March release (based on a teaser in the manuals of the SDCC BrickHeadz), so an early release for VIPs in February would make sense. And it's the only spring release we know of that could qualify as a new, exclusive theme. Quote
Fabulandlover Posted January 5, 2017 Posted January 5, 2017 Perhaps that new educational theme is meant, Boost? Quote

Robert8 Posted January 6, 2017 Posted January 6, 2017 But why they didn't show the BrickHeadzs in the catalog? I mean we already saw them.... I don't get all the mystery Quote
TheLunabrick Posted January 6, 2017 Posted January 6, 2017 I really hope its a new Adventurers line. Like please LEGO bring that theme back! If its just brickheadz Ill be pretty sad since I really dislike the brickheadz idea. Quote

I don't get all the mystery The BrickHeadz we're getting this year may not be the same as the SDCC ones. Also, if it is the "New exclusive LEGO theme" teased on the February calendar, it'd make sense for them not to show up in the brand catalogs, since unlike Shop@Home catalogs, those don't show exclusives.

TheLunabrick Posted January 7, 2017 Posted January 7, 2017 When will we learn more about this? Or has LEGO said anything about it yet. Quote
