Knormal posted:People voted up a DeLorean again? Do people really think Lego's going to make another DeLorean after having just done one? The Japanese buildings do seem niche, but then again the first Cuusoo they did was an obscure Japanese underwater robot so I wouldn't rule it out. I agree Adventure Time does seem the most likely if Cartoon Network signs off on it, though I don't really like the looks of the actual models the guy designed. I don't see Lego making the custom microfigs he's planned, and without those the treefort is kinda blah. I would love it it they did something like this: http://lego.cuusoo.com/ideas/view/47379 When I was a kid, I built a KITT out of LEGO, but it wasn't like this. It's not perfect, but it'd be a good place to start. Actually, just do a whole series based on 80's tv shows. KITT, The A-Team van, Air Wolf, Street Hawk . . .

That's why I love what LEGO is doing with the new Star Wars Micro Fighters sets. Kids can't afford a 130 dollar Millennium Falcon, or even a 60 dollar X-Wing fighter, so these little ships are perfect for them.

Tiny Brontosaurus posted:Yeah! Little nephew bought some of those with his own money and started making more out of his bucket of random legos. They were a great idea and I hope they do more along those lines for different lego settings. One of the things I would have liked to see LEGO do is create a bunch of smaller, more cost efficient sets that could combine into one larger set. Take the Death Star, or Hogwarts, for example. The could make single sets that featured a part of the system (say, The Emperor Throne room) that could retail for about 15 bucks, but then could be connected to another room, (like the Detention Block) that would also be about 15 bucks. You'd have sets with a much more attractive price purchase for impulse buys, plus you'd have that collectable drive that you with some sets.

Dogen posted:They sort of did that with Jabba's Palace. Maybe they'll do that with more stuff. It's hard for ships and the like, though. Yeah, the only problem with that was that the sets were 120 and 60 dollars apiece! I was thinking of much smaller ones, with more affordable prices.

Llyr posted:I finished the Ghostbusters set last night. Good detail, neat construction, I like it a lot. It makes the Delorean look like crap. The only thing I don't like is Venkman's hair. It just doesn't look right. I bought all the Star Wars microfighters (except for the prequel poop) and love them. Each one is a simple build that only takes 15-30 minutes to build, but for 10$ each they're worth it. I did find it odd that there is a TIE interceptor instead of the much more iconic TIE fighter. My hope is that they'll do more, and that's why the TIE Fighter wasn't in there. Love to see the TIE, Slave 1, Snow Speeder, Imperial Shuttle Craft, and an AT-AT in another wave.

Well, I didn't really have a particular stance on it to begin with, but if someone had asked I would have probably assumed the whole "yellow = everybody" position by default. I get why this is an issue now. There are a couple of male figures in the Friends line.

Pyroclastic posted:Mixels series 3 is on shelves. They've varied the body plans more this time around. You also get some pretty uncommon detail-piece colors in them, like purple and pearl silver 1x2 curved slopes. The cookie was available in one of the Friends set, and I think an early blind bag minifig had the black blower.

Lawen posted:Actually, the more I think about it, the more I think that they could do some cool Top Gear sets. Hell, half the poo poo they build on the show is like the automotive equivalent of a double decker couch. The campers/caravans (particularly Clarkeson's modern apartment camper) or pickup truck hovercraft are good examples. I'd buy a Reliant Robin kit too. Some company did do Lego knockoffs with the Top Gear brand already. Had The Stig and everything. I was shocked when I saw it, especially since I live in the US, and saw them at a Toys R Us.

They used to be a pack-in with only the really huge sets but even the smallest little box of Classic has one free. I just wonder how much money Lego lost out on over the years not selling the separator in stores. Not in a set, just on a blister card on a peg rack next to the Lego. Sell for a dollar or two. Thankfully, they do put them in sets now, but man, what could have been.

I'm a big fan of the 'standard' kinda stuff (Creator/Expert, Castle, Pirates, Egypt, Arctic) but I found myself liking the Movie sets a lot just because they're surprisingly detailed builds, and I'm a sucker for action features I wish they would have merged the Indiana Jones line with the Johnny Thunder line.

One of the only big Star Wars sets I don't really have any interest in. I've said it before, but what I would have liked to see them do is sell the various rooms/scenes separately, and then have that you could actually connect the thing into one giant Death Star.

What price point do we reckon? I'm gonna say £130 min. There's no Batgirl and her Batcycle. And I could see them recreating some of the more elaborate Deathtraps to sell with lesser villains.

Is there a good way to use Bricklink or another site to pick minifig parts online? I wish LEGO would release sets that were nothing but various minifig parts. Just various styles and colors of hair, different facial expressions, different torsos, and legs. Maybe throw in a few props as well. They could even do theme sets, like police, firefighters, astronauts, knights, etc.
