What Theme should have stayed longer?
>pic related imo
>>5447483
crap movie, but I won't lie the sets were pretty good for just pieces and stuff.
I don't know about them needing to stay longer, but this and the Lone Ranger sets were criminally underrated
>>5447483
yeah I dont have enough of these fucking sandniggers already, now I need a fucking shitskin lego set. Op please fucking die.
>>5447589
Back to /pol/ with you
>>5447483
Lego castles were sweet.
>>5447611
yes castles were nice. also, knights kingdom
also
>this
>>5447628
There is nothing to that dude. Its like a Gipsy street corner.
>>5447632
xD
I meant Pirates of the Caribbean in general dud3
>>5447644
Well it is the same time line in a Matter of speaking. I didn't mean any offence
Damn obvious Ice Planet 2000.
>>5447483
I wished Chima stayed a little bit longer.
>>5447483
>no horizontal poles
Meh. Is this movie just another generic action without any parkour elements?
>>5447935
WITH
>>5447589
Building diorama of the upcoming European civil-war?
>>5447793
2nd this! Hell, all of classic space themes too: M-Tron, Blacktron, Futuron, Space Police...
>>5447903
The concept was a little out there to begin with, animal people aren't as appealing to children as ninjas or secret agents, and the sets went way-the-fuck downhill after that first Fire and Ice wave. Loved the first year and a half though.
Power Miners
Ice Planet
and Hero Factory, especially. While they weren't same-facing everyone, it wasn't overwhelmed by this huge lore about gold mask-collecting and such.
Atlantis.
Maybe Exo-force.
Any lego sports theme. Pic related.
I didn't actually collect any of these, but they were so cool when I was younger.
>>5447903
>10,004 pieces
How much?
>tfw I liked the Lone Ranger
>tfw I missed out on the sets because I came back to Lego late
>also missed toy story
>and studio
>>5447483
I bought that set. I regret destroying it for all the valuable gold. ;(
>>5447793
They need to bring back this theme. It's been too long.
LotR and Hobbit :c
LOTR
When Hobbit bounced it off we at least got the great Bag End, and the Wargs, amongst a bunch of shite sets, but at the expense of no Prancing Pony, Bridge of Khazad-dum, Pelennor Field Mumakil/Witchking with Fellbeast, Minas Tirith, Osgiliath, Cirith Ungol Tower, etc.
>>5448761
>War
and the price of some minifigs like Eowin, Faramir, or the soilder of Gondor
>>5448532
I remember this...wanted it so badly
>>5447903
Does that really count as the biggest set ever if it's just a repackage of already available sets? Or does it have any exclusive goodies?
>>5448900
Dude, this and Atlantis came out in the same year. Lego was killin' it.
>>5447483
exo-force was awesome. also hero factory: invasion from below, since it kinda was the same principle
>oh god
>>5448532
I like that there are stands where you can put your other minifigs to create an audience. Darth Vader and Gandalf do love their basket ball.
>>5447903
Holy shit, is that a real set?
>>5449042
Yeah,it was a Lego club contest prize
>>5448974
Hell yes. I have that set, and I love it. It's amazing.
>>5448967
This holy shit. I had the big spider thing but I took it apart, need to order a bunch of sets from bricklink. These were amazing sets.
Though my favorite sets ever were Life On Mars. I only ever had the excavation searcher and it's long since been taken apart but I need more of them, they're cheap on BrickLink nowdays anyhow.
>>5448967
>hero factory: invasion from below,
This. Fucking Bionicle ruins evrerything yet again.
>>5449601
>'sand' colors will never be as widely used again as they were in LoM
feels bad, man
>>5447903
>10,004 Pieces
>dam son's yearbook photo.jpg
>>5449618
I just loved it, my goal is to buy every single set they had, also the alien minifigs (of which I have three) are fucking top notch. Always wished the minifigs only were two wide and would grab properly onto a perfectly horizontal bar. I made all kinds of vehicles that would only fit those alien guys because they were awesome.
I still have Vega, Pollux, and Canopus, the three that came with the excavation searcher though I've mixed and matched the bodies and heads, and one of the teal arms broke so I replaced it with a black one and now he looks like a cyborg.
FUCK I want to buy all the sets now.
>>5448498
OH AND FUCKING POWER MINERS. That was another one I wish stayed around. Fuuuck. Rock Raiders was cool and original but the vehicles in Power Miners were just so much better imo. I loved their almost-realistic style to the vehicles with the forward sloping cabs on most of them and the big lights and cutting wheels...Perfect.. I never had any of these but I think I'm bout to go on a LEGO buying spree. Fuck.
>>5447483
Fabuland
Western
Original Ninja's
Adventurers
Vikings
Harry Potter
Prince of Persia
Pirates of the Caribbean
Lord of the Rings/ The Hobbit
>>5449649
I recommend the thunder driller, also the mine mech.
But for something maybe readily available, you can go for the sleeker, less bulky ninjago earth driller and the fire mech.
>>5449947
>Lord of the Rings/ The Hobbit
They did enough Hobbit but not nearly enough with Lotr. Certain character only ever appeared in one set and others, like the Witch King, never appeared at all.
>>5450085
This is the #1 set I want from Power Miners. Thought it was cool as shit when it came out, and still do today. It also reminds me of the first time you fight Dr. Robotnik in Sonic 2 with that drill machine he has.
>>5447483
Great thread. I only saw half of PoP but I love the Lego sets like no other line.. such great parts/figures. I missed out on all of the PotC, but I don't feel that bad about it.
Debating to buy the silver mine lone ranger set and/or the camp set. Dark tan and dark brown are the best Lego colors I think. Shall I?
>>5449637
Realistically, all they did was put like, an entire wave into one box or whatever.
>>5448201
>secret agents
I think secret agents are the least favourite ones.
But to be honest your comparisment lacks things. You compare apple with pears.
You mean futuristic medievil theme is not so interesting than.
Or you meant animal people are not so interesting than humans.
But disney, turtles, kungfu panda, oktonauts and gumball might disagree with you.
>>5447793
>2000
Dinosaurs anything.
Make figs for ALL the dinosaurs.
>>5447483
>>5447621
>i could have been buying these and creating lego crusades.
>mfw
>>5452998
BrickLink my man.
As an additional advantage, your wallet would become much lighter to carry too.
>>5448532
>lego sports
I remember that shit. Had that soccer field and I played with it all the time.
My mom smashed it for reasons I cannot remember, and I never put it back together. It still hurts remembering it.
>>5449644
Life on Mars was the GOAT. I remember getting the blue mech as a random gift from one of my uncles, and then from there I got a few like red mech and some of the small sets. Always wanted the excavation bot and the main base of course, I might have to do that some day.
>>5447643
is that warwick castle?
I hope we get another wave of Pirates sets.
>>5447589
>Not loving the white-washed Arabian adventures of Sinbad, Prince of Persia, etc.
There's only one darky in the OP, FFS even the camel's as pale as moonlight.
>>5447483
Fun fact, these sets are the only ones with LEGO ostriches.
>>5464240
lol best theme just because of that
>did you know that ostriches have suicide tendencies?
Get the reference?! :D
>>5461203
Don't think so, no bailey on the model.
>>5448974
This line was on-fucking-point. Awesome blended creatures. Dat Fenrir
M-tron. Because maybe then I could have owned them as a kid.
>>5448974
>tfw have this set but the flag is extremely dirty and folded
>>5448967
I was so excited about Exo Force when it launched. They had such cool designs and actually did a really good job implementing Bionicle/Knight's Kingdom weapons. Those new Ninjago mechs just aren't doing it for me...
>>5447903
>9+
i remember as a kid it would take me an hour for a 300 piece set
>>5447793
these where so bad ass. I remember my mom bought me a ton of them because they where on clearance one christmas.
>>5470004
Plus they don't even have knees. That's why I loved HF:IFB all the mechs from the winter wave had knees like the old Exo-Force sets.
Pic related looks like it has knees though.
Alpha Team was based
>>5470115
It looks good articulation wise but what I liked about the Exo Force mechs is that they looked like actual robots. This just looks kind of goofy.
>>5470277
The line is basically Tron + Castle.
Tech Knights fight fire/volcano demons, using digitally powered-up/video game enhanced weapons.
Of course it's goofy.
>>5470323
I don't think it's a bad set, it just really isn't for me
I wish technic figs were more popular. It seems lego abandoned them.
>>5448002
More like race-war or reconquista-war.
Black Pearl
Queen Annes Revenge
Pirates of the Carribean had so good ship designs.
>>5448967
I loved it too, but it really felt bland in the jungle setting.
>>5475259
A line of suits like that pic with technic figs for pilots would be amazing
I miss the simplicity of the older space lego sets.
And the original train tracks were a lot more compatible with other parts than their jigsaw puzzle replacements
Had this set. Grandparents still have it. It's amazing how well i managed to incorporate into playing with my space lego sets
The generation track pieces after this were more like slot car tracks.
>>5475259
Ive been wanting to bricklink some myself, but since ive never owned one in the past i have no idea who i should get.
This line got cut way too short.
>>5476707
Forgot pic.
>>5448634
any source on this?
>>5476424
Dude... I still have that set... omg... totally forgot about that one.
![latest[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/2B2oV1a.jpg "latest[1].jpg")
Space Police was cool.
>>5477366
There just was Space Police III.
>>5476708
Monster Fighters was such a great and original theme. Would have loved to see the idea expanded upon, though it seemed to hit all the right notes for its run. That ghost train is still one of my favorite sets I've got.
>>5470115
LEGO mechs don't have knee movement for a reason... it would make they lean back and fall accidentally. Unless it's all about ball joint, of course.
>>5448201
My, how times have changed. Everything for kids used to be animal people. I agree that the first year stuff was much better.
>>5448967
Hero Factory was ballin'. I got the Jaw beast with the white robot minifig.
Aquanauts and Aquasharks were the only Aquazone teams I cared about and they looked the best. They should've just made new sets for those instead of trying to see how much more garish and neon they could make the next faction.
>>5448967
These sets had anime faces, I loved that. :D
LEGO Nintendo fucking WHEN?
>>5463530
Yeah, one that isn't just a shit repackaging and total downgrade of 2009.
>>5448974
I don't know how many of the Wolf battle kits I bought for dem T joints.
TMNT
>>5480229
knex has it
Aqua Raidersss
>>5453916
Have they got the 2014 castle sets as a category yet?
>>5488092
You mean these?
http://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?pg=1&q=King&catLike=W&catString=9&sortBy=Y&sortAsc=D&catType=S&v=1
Can't believe noone's mentioned Time Cruisers/Twisters. One of the coolest ideas for a theme yet!
Those weird bionical knight guys were pretty fucking dope
>>5478425
It ought to have received a second wave. More flying vehicles and maybe a mech. Monsters like the Gill Man and the Mummy sort of got shafted when it came to sets, too.
>>5449947

>>5489311
warehouse supt: what are going to do with all these leftover hats ?
set designer: let's create a theme, we'll call it Time *something*
>>5489311
I like the design of some of those sets.
But I think it was indeed a theme to sell some leftovers.
And I heard some people never liked this theme.
Some complained about the faces of timmy used over 8 years in different themes.
I just want more of the architecture sets at bigger scale so that the final products actually resemble something
More Frank Lloyd Wright, please
>>5489351
Oh fuck yes, those were awesome as cheaper more practical bionicle sets
>>5489311
The funny part about this meme is that Time Cruisers was awesome. Do you faggots not actually play with your Lego in an imaginative fashion? Suddenly I had this massive, flying time-ship that could chill with my Roboforce, pirates and castle stuff all at the same time. Time Cruisers is basically a bunch of random pieces coming together to make wacky machines. Why is it okay when the Lego Movie does it?
>>5493039
Because there's a difference between using your own imagination and beong given a bunch of disjointed nonsense and told to "make it work"
Imagine if the Lego Movie kits came with a bunch of random unrelated crap and told you to "make your own movie". It's missing the point.
Creativity, like comedy, tends to come at its strongest when grounded in some real rules.
>>5489351
You mean Knight's Kingdom II.
>>5489311
This was a theme right up my alley, but I could hardly find interest in it. You could already build the same thing with what you had, but Lego didnt really show any better as they usually do. Except for the gyroscopic features.
>>5448974
>Only saw this in lego catalogs, NEVER in stores.
>>5494611
I saw it in Toys R Us when it came out.
>>5447589
> not wanting to accurately represent the Untermenschen in your race war dioramas with real life skin colors
I was honestly pissed off that there was only one negro in the new Star Wars battlepacks, with all those different races in the movie and the Lego Jurassic Park line. I expected none of the rebels to be white and the First Order troops to come with some more black heads. Such a missed opportunity. I don´t want to buy yet another battlepack with that stupid clenched teeth clone trooper head.
>>5448761
When I wanted a LOTR line in 2008 it really was just for a War Elephant set and some armored giant trolls...
I am so fucking mad about this.
>>5476525
I have the robot arm professor guy, a light grey driver with sunglasses and black arms/legs and a red/white driver with beard and two helmets. Love the grey/black guy the most. Any more than those three is useless, they all look so similar by being generic race car drivers.
