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

Well then it is even less likely they bring normal sets back - however there were rumours but nothing that was really certain, or that I would take as a reason to belive we will really get the theme back.

There were never any rumours that I‘m aware of  Wishful thinking at best!

Thanks! I didn’t pay attention very close to LOTR forum. I thought they did say there woul dbe more sets coming in.

My guess is Despicable Me 4. 

Yuuuup, “orange” is indeed DM4!  There will be 4 sets plus a polybag, all launched in May at Smyths and June everywhere.

Now the question is what the other 2024 movie is, since Falconfan hinted at multiple films this year getting the LEGO treatment

[BrickBob Studpants]

Well, looks like we’re getting two additional themes this year, both implied to be licensed (and not based on video games):

Codename “Buffalo”:

• 76780 (10+)
• 76781 (10+)

Codename “Bright”:

• 75681 (7+)
• 75682 (9+)
• 75683 (9+)
• 75684 (8+)

One of these is probably Transformers (my guess is "Buffalo", given the age range and part counts of 702 and 750 respectively).

Makes sense, since Transformers was hinted at as a theme

According to Brickmerge, all of these launch in October.

I am curious about what "Bright" could be (it is not Duplo or 4+ considering the ages) - What is coming out later this year that LEGO would make sets for?
BTW, as much as I would love for it to happen, I think that we can rule out AtLA since that is dropping at the end of February. 😕

TandNBricks seems to hint that Buffalo is a popular Netflix IP so my guess is Stranger Things though I would love to get One Piece Live Action sets. An Going Merry and a Marine battleship set would be so cool!

He didn’t specify which of the two themes it was, or did he?

Also, both themes have 10+ sets at most, so ST can be ruled out  Maybe it’s ATLA after all, albeit way too late

Yeah, he didn't specify though I believe Buffalo is the one he is hinting as a Netflix show but again is my speculation.

And you are right, we can ruled out Stranger Things. Now I hope is One Piece 

[BrickBob Studpants]

Also, he said „new IP”. Does he mean for LEGO (well, duh) or new in general, i.e., a recent IP?

Can’t think of too many popular exclusive family-friendly IPs Netflix has in its catalogue…

Stranger Things would not be a "new" IP from @TandNbricks' perspective, though. Live-action ATLA copium. . .

Indeed, I don't know why I didn't thought that.

Now the battle is between AtLA and OPLA. Let's hope we can know sooner than later.

The live-action series drops towards the end of February, so while October is certainly late, I do not think that it is too late for sets to come out (especially given the existing fans of the original show).

I would bet on ATLA over One Piece, since LEGO has already done it (albeit nearly twenty years ago!) and since there have been a number of Ideas submissions for the property.

Avatar: The Last Airbender, live-action One Piece.

It’s not Avatar, I could see it being One Piece. Netflix doesn’t have many Lego friendly IP’s.

I agree, especially since Netflix has always been pretty slow to capitalize on merchandise for their shows until they know they have a hit. Especially toys, etc. for more family/kid-oriented shows.

If 2024 brings us LEGO Zelda and Last Airbender, it’ll be one of the best years ever for me.

Both themes are reportedly aimed at girls, which seems to point towards Wednesday being the Netflix IP. 

[BrickBob Studpants]

Hopefully we still get minifigs in that case, otherwise I‘m not interested

Merci :-)

[Kaijumeister]

Funnily enough, the latest ATLA trailer dropped today as well…

https://youtu.be/ByAn8DF8Ykk?feature=shared

Quite a coincidence that a hint of a new Netflix show theme drops the same day, but I guess the girl-centric hint debunks it anyway.

The Buffalo sets are rated 10+ and the Bright ones are all between 7+ and 9+ – Wednesday is very much a teen show, so I don’t think it’s that either. 
 

And what does ‘aimed at girls’ even mean in this instance? Are both themes minidoll based or has Lego finally realized we like minifigs just fine too? I could probably go on a whole rant about how the need to gender properties like this is detrimental for kids and everyone should be allowed to like what they want with all sorts of asides about sexism in media and how it’s bad for kids of all genders, but this isn’t really the place for that. 

[Agent Kallus]

Wednesday would make some sense for a Netflix theme. Or maybe Hilda?

But ignoring the Netflix hint my hopes would be Doctor Who, Percy Jackson, D & D, Zelda non-Icons lotr sets... But Avatar would be cool I'd prefer sets based on the original cartoon ( or Korra) than the new live action but maybe the live action show could be an excuse to revisit the cartoon.
