I would welcome a castle series or a space series with open arms, as long they have the minfigure aesthetic. And it would make so many people happy too. Where can I find these designers’ quotes?

The idea of the designers thinking about a castle of space series intrigues me. (even if I still prefer regular series, the monsters and costumes still had the same charm, just less variety) Quote

I used to prefer yellow minifigures, but now I build more with flesh tones. As such, I find that the Harry Potter theme has a lot to offer. It has great minifigures for a variety of themes, from Castle to City to Superheroes. It's also great for Harry Potter fans and collectors, of course. I couldn't tell you which variations of which characters I'd like to see, but I'm sure that every HP CMF series will have at least a few that I will want to get in multiples. I would love to see another Harry Potter series, but I could understand them waiting a bit. They've gotta make this Harry Potter theme last. I don't see it earlier than fall of next year. Outside of that, I can imagine Disney series 3 would be a successful one. Of course series 20 should show up next year. Another themed series could be nice. Depends on the theme. I would personally like a well done fantasy or science fiction theme. Other themes could bleed into my interests a bit, too. I'm generally optimistic. Quote

For me, I'm certain that Series 20 will end-up being released in either April or May next year, much like Series 10 and 18 had been; whereas for the January/February and August/September release slots, they're more likely than not to be licensed in some form, perhaps with the January/February slot lent towards a newcomer IP to the Collectable Minifigures theme, while the August/September slot will be hopefully reserved for Disney Series 3. 23 hours ago, ToaIruini said: At this point with future cmfs I’d rather be pessimistic and pleasantly surprised than just disappointed over again.

Apart from that, have you considered other genre themed series? Tara Wike: We kick it around all the time, and I think it’s fun to mix between the two, the mix-and-match classic and a more themed thing. This one was… we really wanted to celebrate the anniversary of the minifigure, so that was the best way we could think of doing it, that was a natural fit. And with the monsters, I think it was falling close to Halloween and that’s always been an inspiration for us, too. So that one was also natural. I don’t want to say any of the other ones we’ve considered, in case we do them in the future!Probably something like sci-fi or fantasy or a historical theme is something you would consider then?

A series dedicated to traditional LEGO themes (that are now sidelined by licensed equivalents) could be very nice. 16 or 20 figures, divided among four or five themes could make for a great series. A pipe dream, probably, but it is nice to imagine. Quote

A pipe dream, probably, but it is nice to imagine. Well, that's technically what the unthemed, non-licensed Series already are, except that they have to share space alongside City-themed and costumed archetypes. But sure, just one otherwise "normal" Series uninhibited by CMFs that complement currently-existing playthemes would be undoubtedly appreciated. Quote
K_Tiger Posted July 25, 2019 Posted July 25, 2019 For the sake of argument, I proffer that this hypothetical series would be unfettered by City or mascot figures. I will also proffer that one of the fantasy figures would be a plant monster* utilizing the stump disguise from the mountain police sets. They slap a couple of out-there city-themed and mascot figures in whatever Fun-in/at-the Place they had planned for the year. * it could actually be a goblin/gnoll/kobold/insert a "fantasy monster to hide in a stump" here.

Yes I know they have made 2 batman series, but that was from a Lego movie not a "normal" DC film! I thought the hole point with making small battle pack within themes like SW, DC and Marvel is that Lego do not have the license to make single fig collectibles from those themes It is hot now so I think I need a spoonful of salt to swallow this rumour along with Disney 3 and every other 2020 CMF rumour turning up these days Quote

The only way I can think of to circumvent the license obstacle is releasing a series based on a LEGO product DC-related, just like Batman Movie If so, then it has to be the DC Supervillains videogame The game had a lot of characters that were not released in physical form. So, I think a DC-Supervillains series might happen Edited July 25, 2019 by Robert8 Quote
