Please also note that since egyptian/greek/roman themes are very similar the person which saw the pics could be wrong and there coud be any one of those. It might also be new "ruins" part of Atlantis theme, but that's not likely, because that would be heavily "Atlantis" branded and anyone would see that.

I heard there was an "Atlantis" set coming out next year with ruins...

You've got the information from somebody who only saw pics in a catalogue?

So if this person does not him- or herself work inside the Lego Company, it's very hard to believe that the information on an Egypt theme is right. Reason: The dealer's catalogue which is available at the moment only shows the sets for the first half of 2011. And since I had the luck to have a look inside it, I can report that I saw nothing which looked like an Egypt, Greek or Roman theme. (It might be that I missed one page - but that is very unrealistic since I'd really look forward to a decent Egypt theme).

Btw: In contrast to Romans vs. Greeks which's buildings are very difficult to seperate, Egypt buildings are that unique that you can't mix it up with Roman or Greek buildings.

Yes, I myself posted this information here on EB some weeks ago.

To get sureness I was this afternoon at one of my local toy dealers who did (like I, too) not remember having seen some Egypt sets/theme in the dealer's catalogue for the first half of 2011.

If at all, we have only the chance to get an Egypt theme if Toy Story and Prince of Persia, Space Police and Power Miners won't get new sets in 2011 (when you assume that there won't be more waves in 2011 than in 2010 - which is imo very likely):

2010 ===> 2011:

winter/spring:

Atlantis ===> Atlantis

Power Miners ===> NinjaGo

spring/summer:

Toy Story ===> Cars (in System scale)

Prince of Persia ===> Pirates of the Caribbean

World Racers ===> ?World Racers?

Atlantis ===> Atlantis

summer/fall:

Kingdoms ===> Kingdoms

Harry Potter ===> Harry Potter

Space Police ===> ?Egypts?

What do you think?

Klaus-Dieter I think you could be right, this looks like the most logical list of themes to me, only thing I disagree on is, sadly, the Egyptian theme. I doubt we'll get it. It just doesn't seem like a Lego thing at the moment, unless it's like the Vikings theme, of course - which would include all the things you state but also mythological beings too. Either way it would be a nice theme. Sad that it's gott o replace the fantastic Space Police though.

Would it be COOL if LEGO released a LEGO Total Drama line?

[Oky]

No, and this is not really the place to discuss this.

@ Klaus-Dieter: Yes, that sounds quite plausible.

[BrickWild]

I would like to see a few new exclusives (e.g. a larger model of the Empire State Building, the Great Pyrimid, Tokyo Tower, Airbus A380, etc)

[Build-A-Trent99]

Oh Come On, LEGO Total Drama will be AWSOME.

[Darth Jar Jar]

Oh Come On, LEGO Total Drama will be AWSOME.

Well not really thats just what I think

[Cwetqo]

Hmm, think that POTC will replace "pirates" theme?

So:

2010 ===> 2011:

winter/spring:

Atlantis ===> Atlantis

Power Miners ===> NinjaGo

spring/summer:

Toy Story ===> Cars (in System scale)

Pirates ===> Pirates of the Caribbean

Prince of Persia ===> Egypt

World Racers ===> ?World Racers?

Atlantis ===> Atlantis

summer/fall:

Kingdoms ===> Kingdoms

Harry Potter ===> Harry Potter

Space Police ===> Space port (atlhough I think that this will be within city theme)

[Mirandir]

...

spring/summer:

...

Atlantis ===> Atlantis

...

I highly doubt that there will be any more Atlantis sets coming out after the January release. I believe the theme will share fate with Power miners with one strong year, a half release in January and then it's out.

BTW. You didn't happen to see the new Belville sets that I've heard mentioned?

Toy Story ===> Cars (in System scale)

I think that could be very likely since Cars 2 is coming out in 2011.

[Tohst]

I just hope Duplo Castle returns.

what?

...and no new add-on for the city theme? Like a circus ( ) or new set for police or farm?

Klaus-Dieter has seen the 2011 retailers catalogue and has posted a discription off what he saw in the town forum do a little digging and im sure you will find it

Klaus-Dieter I think you could be right, this looks like the most logical list of themes to me, only thing I disagree on is, sadly, the Egyptian theme.

Well, I partly agree with you, Rocketbilly.

On the one hand there are some reasons which speak against an Egypt theme:

-The very supposable ongoing of Kingdoms plus PotC are already two historical themes.

-It's always a risk to release a theme which didn't exist before or which was released over a decade ago.

-There have always been rumors around here on EB which partly were wrong, too. So Cwetqo's source might be wrong, too.

On the other hand there are even some reasons which speak for an Egypt theme:

-Pyramides are very fascinating for kids. So it would be a theme which would even address JFOLs.

-Like with the new Farm theme and the comeback of Space in City, TLG seems to want to test and open the market for more and different themes than only the themes which recur from year to year (like Police, Castle, Technic etc.). And an Egypt theme did never exist or - if you count the Adventurer's one - only exist one time before in the whole history of Lego. So it would be a try worth. Why shouldn't it be that a success like Pirates or Farm?!

-Playmobil showed Lego in the last decade that not only the always returning themes like Police, Castle, Technic etc. are selling very well, but even different historical themes and civilian sets (or at least sets which include civilian stuff, too). And TLG reacted to this (like you can see with the release of e. g. Farm, Pirates etc.).

We even don't know whether - if there will be an Egypt theme in 2011 - it will be a complete "only" historical theme (like Playmobil's) or a redesgin of the Adventurer sets of the late ninetees.

Imo the chances to get an Egypt theme are 50:50.

But as long as we don't get some set numbers and names or some pics, we can only speculate.

I highly doubt that there will be any more Atlantis sets coming out after the January release. I believe the theme will share fate with Power miners with one strong year, a half release in January and then it's out.

That sounds plausible, Mirandir.

BTW. You didn't happen to see the new Belville sets that I've heard mentioned?

No, I didn't. Do you know anything whether they'll be now in minifig scale or again (like the last years) with bigger figs?

I would like to see a few new exclusives (e.g. a larger model of the Empire State Building, the Great Pyrimid, Tokyo Tower, Airbus A380, etc)

I regrettably don't know what we'll see for Exclusives next year, BrickWild.

But I have some guesses:

For Star Wars a big Cloud City is very likely.

For Creator a Post Office or Bank is very supposably.

For the Winter theme a candy shop is very supposably.

For City a City Square is very supposably.

Well, in less than four weeks we (very supposably and hopefully) will know which Exclusive we'll get in January 2011 (since BrickCon is on the first weekend of October).

If not LEGO Total Drama, How about LEGO South Park?

thanks, i hope I'll find the topic :)

I honestly don't know but from what I've heard I believe that Belville will get new sets next year and I got a hint that may suggest that it's minifig scale or that there will be a Belville-ish theme (Paradisia II?) that is minifig scale. But I'm far from 100% sure about that.

Well THAT is certainly the most exciting rumour about 2011, as far as I'm concerned! Bring back pink, purple, beach resorts and bikini-clad minifigs, ponies and palm trees, moustaches and dolphins, kitchen appliances and beach umbrellas!

Hmm hope that didn't make me sound too much like a pervert?

[Derek]

I think this was mentioned a couple months ago, but how about Lego Phineas and Ferb?

It's a cartoon on the Disney Channel that my brother and sister watch (me too sometimes ) It's a really surprisingly witty and funny show that some adults even like, and Disney is seeking to make it the next Spongebob (A Lego license could help that...)

If I ever get a Perry the Platypus Lego figure, I will die a happy man...

[Build-A-Trent99]

I thought LEGO South Park would be HYSTERICAL, Darth Jar Jar.

[prateek]

Sorry for mini-modding, but I think this topic is for new 2011 sets, and not new themes you want. If you want to give suggestions on new themes just go to the New Theme topic in the Embassy.
