While I'd be okay with that minifig selection, I'm hoping for something more representing of the movies as a whole rather than going for scene accuracy (i.e., Paul, Leto, Jessica, Chani, and the Baron). Unless we're getting a follow-up set at some point of course

[Lion King]

Ghost of Tsushima (video game) set at adults would be great but maybe not likely for Lego.

it's likely the main one. . . the main ornithopter model 

There are actually three ornithopter models in the movie - Atreides (angular and light with eight wings), Harkonnen (bulky and more rounded with six wings), and the two-seater that Kynes gives Paul and Jessica (CS yellow bubble cockpit, four wings). The one most likely to be in the set is the Atreides model, IMO.

Unfortunately (for classic space purposes at least, 

Speaking of Classic Space, does anyone else think that the Galaxy Explorer canopies could be used for the ‘thopter’s cockpit (one on each side, mounted via SNOT)? 🤔

According to brickmerge, there’s a new theme coming next March with the set numbers 77046 to 50. Could this be a licensed theme? The numbers are pretty close to the Indy ones from this year (77012-77015)

[BrickBob Studpants]

Allegedly, it’s an Animal Crossing theme!!

[Grabdatgem]

Did I read somewhere that planet of the apes was meant to be in dimensions??? If so does anyone think Lego might do a one off set next year for the new film, similar to what they’re doing for Dune.

According to the latest rumours on IG (courtesy of @Lego_Minecraft_Goat), 75580-83 aren't Avatar sets despite the numbers directly following the 2023 sets 

Since @Falconfan1414 has previously hinted at multiple 2024 movies getting sets, could this theme codenamed "orange" be for an upcoming film?

Oh sweet, always fun to have a wildcard wave out there! The big 2024 movies that feel like the most likely candidates to me are probably Despicable Me 4 and that new Ghostbusters.

Since we got one Dune set, maybe we get more for Dune Part Two? Arrakis is kinda orange

IIRC “Orange” was just the codename, and entirely unrelated to the actual theme/license. Dune is possible (and I would love that!), but it could really be anything.

If that would be the case, the Ornithopter would be part of the Dune Theme and not an icons set. So it is very, very unlikely, that it will be Dune.

Good point. 
 

What are some upcoming LEGO-friendly properties? 🤔

Keep in mind it’s not necessarily something upcoming, but pretty likely given @Falconfan1414‘s hints.

My guess is Despicable Me 4. Technically a new theme (hence a new codename), and LEGO-friendly too! Inside Out 2 is another guess, but I would expect that to be a 4+ theme, which should entail different set numbers.

The biggest mystery to me are the set numbers. Can‘t think of another example where a new theme seamlessly continues another theme‘s numbers. Even Animal Crossing has a 30 number gap to Indy!

Although it's unlikely since they tend to stick with established properties, IF might be an interesting wild-card possibility. And yeah, the codenames usually have nothing to do with the actual content of the theme, but if you want to take "Orange" literally, there's always Garfield. 

Actually, come to think of it, has anyone compiled a list of the preliminary codenames of themes paired with what they ended up being? IIRC correctly, Sonic the Hedgehog was "Lemon" and Hidden Side was "Banana," so maybe someone just likes fruit.

• Leaf: Super Mario
• Banana: Minions
• Titan: Dreamzzz
• Coconut: Avatar
• Pineapple: Indiana Jones
• Sparkles: Gabby‘s Dollhouse
• Lemon: Sonic

Animal Crossing had one too, but I forgot. Bubblegum, perhaps?

[Pop Star c o]

Gumdrop. Also, Fortnite has codename Juno.

[DragonElves]

Could it be Lego based off Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora game and had to have a different code name because it’s not part of the movies?

Thanks!  Wait, when did the Juno codename ever come up? Or is that for the Brickheadz?

There are two rumored Brickheadz with description [Gaming IP Juno]. Also, in the files of the actual LEGO Fortnite game, someone found the game files had the word 'juno' in them, so it's apparent the Brickheadz are for Fortnite.

There was an IG post from a reliable leaker (I forget who) a few months ago that hinted at a bunch of new themes and Minifigs (including Animal Crossing, Fortnite, and Captain Rex); the post included a hint about “Orange” and a hint about Minions/Despicable Me, so I doubt that those are the same.

My guess is Splatoon. Given that we're getting a new Animal Crossing theme and a potential The Legend of Zelda set in 2024, perhaps these won't be the only Nintendo IPs we might see next year. Additionaly, the main character is usually depicted as an orange-haired squid girl.

I would be curious to see how LEGO translates Splatoon characters into Minifig form!

Don’t Riverdell set come from Icons theme while LOTR sets are on the way? I don’t follow that LOTR thread very very closely tho…

Anyways, I bought Minions them didn’t sell very well a few years ago?

Rivendell was last year - so they might have decided to bring it back based on it´s sucess - however we yet have no proof that we will see the theme back as whole other than Barad-Dur. And we will see whether this will be an Icons set or not - as for more sets, time will tell. I could see them doing some Brickheadz again but those aren´t an own theme either.

Barad-Dûr is definitely an Icons set due to its set number  There are no other sets rumoured.
