That's all for now so post your top 3 themes! If one if these topics already exists could a MOD please lock this awesomebrick Quote
just2good Posted May 9, 2010 Posted May 9, 2010 These are just CURRENT themes.. 1. Toy Story I grew up with Toy Story and LEGOs, so it's nice to see them join forces. And there's just so much possibilities of the Toy Story theme! -- 2. City 3. PoP, Kingdoms (These are ones that sets came out or are coming out this year) Quote
Shroud Posted May 9, 2010 Posted May 9, 2010 1. Space Police, have been since around 20 years ago and the new ones are even better. 2. Atlantis, the models are really well done 3. Pirates, the massive ships are awesome Quote
DLuders Posted May 9, 2010 Posted May 9, 2010 1. TECHNIC -- keeps the interest of Adult Fans of Lego (AFOLs) and is challenging to master. 2. MINDSTORMS -- Allows young people to program robots to prepare them for Robotics in the "Real World". 3. Model Team -- Makes it possible to recreate one's old cars and trucks in Lego bricks. Quote
BobaFett2 Posted May 9, 2010 Posted May 9, 2010 Themes, not including subthemes: Space, Aquazone, Castle, City, Pirates (in that order) With subthemes: UFO, Space Police I, Aquanauts, Knights' Kingdom I, Aquasharks, Xtreme Team, Quote
ziljin Posted May 10, 2010 Posted May 10, 2010 I like the pre modern themes. So right now Prince of Persia and Kingdoms. And all upcoming future pirates, castle and similar hemes. Quote
Siegfried Posted May 10, 2010 Posted May 10, 2010 Technic Space (Cheating I know, but I like them all!) Adventures If one if these topics already exists could a MOD please lock this Well there have been several year based ones, and some less specific ones, but all are rather old and reviving them now would be silly.

prateek Posted May 10, 2010 Posted May 10, 2010 (edited) For 2010 I like: PoP Kingdoms Technic has always been really cool too, but I can't say it's my favourite. Edited May 10, 2010 by prateek Quote
Commodore Hornbricker Posted May 10, 2010 Posted May 10, 2010 Pirates adventurers Indiana Jones castle Because they all have great parts and figures for my imperial age of sail world. Quote
dr_spock Posted May 10, 2010 Posted May 10, 2010 Lately I have been liking Technics. My other themes are Town and Star Wars and a bit of Pirates and Creator. Quote
LEGOMAN132 Posted May 10, 2010 Posted May 10, 2010 Technic because it a challanging biuld and they look nice on disply. City because of all the great sets is the them i grew up with. Space just because its great. Model Team for all the great looking vehicles. Quote
Oky Posted May 10, 2010 Posted May 10, 2010 Well, in a nutshell: 1. Toy Story - I have always been a huge fan of PIXAR, and Buzz Lightyear is one of the coolest characters in the history of cartoons, so this theme is a dream come true for me! 2. Star Wars - Well, what can I say? Star Wars is awesome! Many great and creative spaceship and minifig designs, and they just keep getting better! 3. Harry Potter - I love the books and the movies, and the sets have such a nice campy feel to them, plus they come with so many useful parts and minifigs! Quote
David Thomsen Posted May 10, 2010 Posted May 10, 2010 #1: Pirates My favourite theme when I was a child, my favourite theme now. Pirate ships, treasure chests, sword fights, cannon battles, sharks, terrifying ninja parrots... what's not to love? #2: Modular Buildings Not sure if this range counts, but these are City buildings for Grown Ups. Best of all, the people have classic smily faces! #3: Western Sadly I missed them the first time round, and Lego don't seem to be in a hurry to revisit them. And yet in spite of not actually owning any Western sets, I still love the idea of them. Quote
Sergiu Posted May 10, 2010 Posted May 10, 2010 My favorite themes are: Technic, because you can do things you couldn't do with normal bricks Model Team, great looking and functional models Mindstorms, I like to make working robots and to program them Quote
Brickaroo Posted May 11, 2010 Posted May 11, 2010 1 - Trains, I've always been fascinated with them. 2 - Town, just goes hand in hand with the first. 3 - Pirates, off on another tangent but I love them. :-) Quote
Milan Posted May 11, 2010 Posted May 11, 2010 Technic&ModelTeam-For really endless possibilities for creating complex mechanisms and to cover all that with complex design using ModelTeam scheme. History-It just feels great to see large castles and siege weapons in Lego Town-I just like cars and motorcycles and unique buildings Quote
Spyder Posted May 11, 2010 Posted May 11, 2010 1. Prince of Persia. I was sucked into this theme because of the themed month. It's a good thing we had it too, otherwise, I wouldn't know how great PoP is! 2. Harry Potter I read all of the books in about a month, found out there were Lego sets for it, and you can guess what happened then... 3. Batman I grew up with superheroes, and Batman was always my favorite. So when they made a Lego theme of it, you can guess again what happened. This was probably the thing that really brought me back to Lego. Quote
ZO6 Posted May 11, 2010 Posted May 11, 2010 This is tough. I collect a lot of different themes, and I love them all. However, my current mood leads me to vote for these three: Adventurers - Pros: Fantastic looking models, love-able minifigures, loads of accessories, unlimited playability. I fell in love with the Desert theme in 1998, and I've been hooked on every subtheme since then. Cons: Discontinued Space - Pros: When I was young, I mainly collected space sets. I've got a soft spot for space bases and ships. It's easy to use ones imagination to create different missions while swooshing a ship around. Lots of interesting pieces for building different mocs. Cons: I have unfortunately been fairly disappointed with recent offerings. Town - Pros: There are so many different subthemes and sets to choose from. Sure there are some underwhelming sets here and there, but there are countless classics too. If you collect LEGO, building your own town or city is a must. Cons: Hard to keep up with everything Honorable mention to Aquazone, Star Wars, Western, and Technic. I better stop now before I start naming off all the themes I like... Quote
MrCustomizer Posted May 11, 2010 Posted May 11, 2010 (edited) #1: Harry Potter The amazing hairpieces, prints and new molds!! Harry Potter is my favorite book series, so I am thrilled to hear that they are bringing it back! :D #2: Star Wars As a fan of the Clone Wars TV series, I get excited to see pictures of new sets! #3: Indiana Jones It was between this and Prince of Persia. I love Indiana Jones, and the Lego sets are amazing. HONORABLE MENTIONS: LEGO Studios Prince of Persia LEGO Adventures and Orient Express Batman ~MC Edited May 11, 2010 by MrCustomizer Quote
RocketClone Posted May 11, 2010 Posted May 11, 2010 1. Castle- One of my favorite historical themes, the knights, the castles, the fights, what's not to love? 2. Pirates- Ah the age of sail, cannon/ship battles, the islanders, and especially the forts! 3. Space- Lets see...classic space, blacktron, space police, the ships, the massive ships, and the great play features! Quote
Scorpion Posted May 11, 2010 Posted May 11, 2010 Space, Town and Aquazone. That's pretty much it. Quote
Front Posted May 11, 2010 Posted May 11, 2010 (edited) If my favorite themes were defined by which I would least like to see disappear from the product line-up, it would be: 1: Technic, more specifically Technic construction vehicles. 2: City 3: Hero Factory or Castle I forgot Creator, including the AFOL targeted Exclusive sets. The will make it into number 2 spot. City down to 3 then. Edited May 11, 2010 by Front Quote
Brick & Mortimer Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 # 1: Town (including modulars & Trains) I know, it's easy that way , but I really couldn't rank any of these themes # 2: Pirates I just ordered Imperial Flagship! # 3: (Classic) Castle My last set (not counting MMV) dates from 1993 and I'm not so fond of the fantasy inspired Castle theme, but the new sets look promising to me Quote
Sir Fred Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 #1-Castle/Kingdoms. It just seems so natural to build a castle out of Lego. #2-Pirates. Who doesn't like pirates? #3-Star Wars. Clone/Storm troopers are just plain awesome and Jedi can be fun. Prince of Persia gets an honourable mention. Quote
