Lego David Posted February 19, 2019 Posted February 19, 2019 (edited) A Topic where you get to review a LEGO theme in a few words and submit a new theme for the next user to review. I will start, the first person will review that theme in a few words and give it a final out of 10 score, and than that person will submit another theme for review. EX: [Review of the theme in a few words] [/10 score ] [The theme the next user should review]. A few rules here: -Only full themes, (no subthemes) -Your LEGO Theme can be from any year, any period of LEGO. -Your review of the theme should not be longer than 30 words (because there are quite some people here who like long responses) -You are just supposed to review the theme according to your personal opinion, not necessary the general community opinion. -This topic is ONLY about reviewing the themes! If someone under rates your theme, we just move on, we don't start to argue about why the theme is better or worse than that person sayed. Ok, got it? So, let's start. I will start with the first theme: Hidden Side (what we know so far about it) Edited February 19, 2019 by Lego David Quote

Don’t really care for the phone aspect but that's optional. 9/10 Next theme: Galidor Quote
Lego David Posted February 20, 2019 Author Posted February 20, 2019 The parts were still compatible with Technic a little bit... I have seen some smart people who have managed to make some cool MOCs using them... So this theme has at least something good about it. But in rest, it was way to far away from the LEGO system, it looked more like some random mix n'mash action figures than LEGO. Also let's not forget how it almost killed LEGO. 1\10 Next Theme: Exo Force Quote
JJ Tong (zfogshooterz) Posted February 22, 2019 Posted February 22, 2019 (edited) On 2/20/2019 at 6:11 PM, Lego David said: Next Theme: Exo Force It's a pretty darn cool theme. I do like how it handles the mecha theme well for it's time. And I'm also amazed with some insane sets like the Mobile Devastator or the Bridge Walker! Great design and aesthetic for its time! But I'll say with building techniques for mech improving in the later years. I have to this theme give a 7.5/10. Still, a dope theme nonetheless! Alright next theme - The Lego Movie 2.

To be honest, I don't find anything interesting about it. The first Lego movie had sets like Benny's Spaceship, Castle Cavalarity etc that made Reference to Lots of LEGO themes from Lego's History... And this is what made it stand out compared to other themes of the time. The Lego Movie 2 sets have pretty much nothing if that, except for maybe Benny's Space squad set (which is Probably the best set from the whole theme BTW) just some random odd Looking vehicles that have nothing very appealing to me. It seems that most people love them, but I personally don't find anything interesting about it. 5/10 (this means avarage) Next Theme: Unikity! Edited February 23, 2019 by Lego David Quote
mocbuild101 Posted February 24, 2019 Posted February 24, 2019 (edited) Interesting topic, but I don't think subthemes should be excluded, as some themes have far too many subthemes (take City for example) to review them all together. Anyway... 15 hours ago, Lego David said: Next Theme: Unikity! I personally don't really like it, but the sets certainly are great for parts - I mean, they are just ridiculously colorful sets, and IMO there's not really much else to say... 6/10 Next theme: Fabuland Edited February 24, 2019 by mocbuild101 Quote
Lego David Posted February 24, 2019 Author Posted February 24, 2019 6 hours ago, mocbuild101 said: Next theme: Fabuland It was weird. Apparently there are some people who quite like it, but I personally don't see why. The concept though seems like a early predecessor to Chima. I get that it's a vintage theme, but it doesn't stand out for it's time. 5/10 Speaking of which... Next: Chima Quote
JJ Tong (zfogshooterz) Posted February 25, 2019 Posted February 25, 2019 (edited) 13 hours ago, Lego David said: Speaking of which... Next: Chima Well, like Exo-Force, that theme is pretty darn cool, quite a lot of aspect that makes it very interesting like animal headed vehicles and bases. The speedorz is quite a dope concept too. And the show is quite enjoyable to me too. I'll say that 2013 and 2014 1st half year were the coolest to me personally! Not really a big fan of the Fire and Ice theme but they are still pretty darn cool too nonetheless. Overall 7.5/10! Next theme - Forma! (Hehehe) Edited February 25, 2019 by JJ Tong (zfogshooterz) Quote

Those paper parts used as the cover for the fish are a odd choice. Maybe some people will like it, but I don't think we really needed it. 6/10 Nexo Knights Quote
BrickBuilder1 Posted March 24, 2019 Posted March 24, 2019 On 2/25/2019 at 4:11 AM, Lego David said: Nexo Knights Not gonna lie, not a big fan, felt like they were just trying to make a new Chima, which I also wasn't really that into. All the builds were really weird too, they weren't that interesting at all. I will say that the knight minifigures did look all right, and the Nexo Shield mould has proven super useful in other sets, so it wasn't 100% terrible. Next Theme: Ninjago (not the movie sets) Quote
Lego David Posted March 24, 2019 Author Posted March 24, 2019 3 hours ago, BrickBuilder1 said: Next Theme: Ninjago (not the movie sets) The best LEGO theme that is still running. While the sets have gotten kinda bland over time, the TV show has greatly improved. Each new season looks like it would be better than the last one. A lot of people who don't really understand the theme want it to end... But I guarantee that if these theme ends, they will never come up with a better one to replace it... 10/10 Next Theme: Agents Quote
Nexogeek Posted March 25, 2019 Posted March 25, 2019 19 hours ago, Lego David said: Next Theme: Agents Agents has to be one of my favorites themes right next to power miners. As a kid one of the earliest system based set I remember getting was 8631 Jetpack Pursuit and got hooked on the theme. I loved the builds, the orange/black color scheme for the villains contrasted so nicely to the dark blue/light gray of the agents. The theme had a wow factor to 7 year old me and now as an 18 year old those sets still strongly hold to that. Agents is a 10/10 for me Next theme: Tiny Turbos subtheme of Racers Quote
icm Posted March 25, 2019 Posted March 25, 2019 Tiny Turbos: Lego meets Hot Wheels, Hot Wheels wins. The theme sure is distinctive compared to Lego's usual fare, and the unusual scale is kinda fun. Since I'm into air and space rather than tuner cars, it's always been a hard pass for me. 7/10 Next theme (only full themes, unlike Tiny Turbos) - Factory Quote
Lego David Posted March 25, 2019 Author Posted March 25, 2019 47 minutes ago, icm said: Next theme (only full themes, unlike Tiny Turbos) - Factory A better version of LEGO Ideas, to be honest. Unlike LEGO Ideas where most of the sets are designed by AFOLs, those were actually designed buy actual kids. I would like if LEGO Ideas could do the same, where they accept sets designed by everyone: KFOLs, TFOLs and AFOLS... 9/10 Next Theme: Dino Attack Quote

But I'll give it a 6/10 there. Next theme: Lego Systems - U.F.O. Quote

Alien Ships that look great even today. Those round shapes resemble a UFO perfectly. Better than any theme we have nowdays. 10/10 Next Theme: Atlantis Quote
mocbuild101 Posted April 12, 2019 Posted April 12, 2019 @Nexogeek I couldn't agree more, Agents was just such a well done theme, with all of the sets having just the right mix of details and play features. I just recently bought the last set to complete my collection of agents, and like you, I still like it just as much as when I was younger. On 3/25/2019 at 10:17 PM, Lego David said: Next Theme: Atlantis Nice, but to me it seemed like it was too focused on battling sea creatures than Atlantis itself. Still, it did have some nice designs... 7/10 Next theme: Ninja Quote

Next Theme: Ninjago I don’t know if this topic is still ongoing but it seemed like fun. Ninjago is fantastic with many unique and fun builds that blend sci-fi, fantasy and historical architecture in one sprawling action theme. The last several waves of sets have been fantastic. 9/10 Next Theme: Harry Potter Quote
icm Posted June 23, 2019 Posted June 23, 2019 Rich lore, devoted fanbase, immense potential for building and play / Hemmed in by intermittent general interest and primitive building techniques in its first run / Back again for many years? 7/10 (early), 9/10 (modern) Next theme: Aquazone Quote
Umbra-Manis Posted June 23, 2019 Posted June 23, 2019 An interesting 90s adventure with cool minifigure designs, but I personally despise the gradient styles they used all over the prints. (Because it makes recreating them a pain) 6/10 Next Theme: Discovery Quote
Lego David Posted June 24, 2019 Author Posted June 24, 2019 A short lived theme that focused on realistic space rather than the Sci-Fi space we have grown to be used to. While we get a lot of similar to those in LEGO Ideas, I would love it to have it all as a theme rather than a subtheme of Ideas. Really nice sets that you should consider for sure getting if you are a space fan. 7/10 Next Theme: Znap Quote
legostarwars1425 Posted July 13, 2019 Posted July 13, 2019 (edited) On June 24, 2019 at 8:06 AM, Lego David said: Next Theme: Znap Znap was an interesting theme, with some parts compatible with the Technic line. I had a lot of fun with it, as you can crate a lot of wacky shapes and build at odd angles. I would love to get some more of it, just for the fun of playing around with it. I'd give it a solid 9/10 as I love the uniqueness of it. Speaking of things I would love to get more of, next up is Modulex. Edited July 13, 2019 by legostarwars1425 Quote
Anonknee Muss Posted July 31, 2019 Posted July 31, 2019 A weird and wacky extension to Lego. It didn’t kick off, Lego needed to stick to what they’ve got instead of dividing their attention. It seems they learnt that. Interesting concept at the very least. 4/10 Collectible Minifigure Series Quote
