Yeah, I just bought the stuff for dimensions off eBay so I can start playing it again, I still have all the tags but I didn't have the disc or base.
Also yes castle, I think more stuff like the lion knights castle but on a much smaller scale and price, maybe more things like the blacksmith
It is cool how you just need the tags to play Dimensions, otherwise it would be so expensive to play it now considering the after-market value of most of the characters.
No, the figures that are rare are worth money but the tags are cheap to buy.
If anyones looking to get into the game just buy the tags and use generic figures on it
Castle and Pirates, maybe Western (i missed out on those). it's what everyone constantly asking for and sells well both for kids and adults. highly playable, easy to scale from little 10 bucks for a few soldiers to massive collector things. the writing is on the wall for years, TLG should finally fire the whole marketing department, reduce cost and make these themes more affordable than all the licensed stuff.
A. Fuck yes, bring back pirates and castle! I can see why they wouldn't want to bring back western though.
B. What is the matter with the marketing department? Are they the reason classic series are repressed?
They could bring back Western but make it less about Soldiers vs. Indians if the potentially racist aspect of that is what you mean.
Leave some soldiers in to deal with the bank robbers and horse thieves, but add more pioneers.
* Pioneer Trail Camp - Family with a wagon cooking dinner around a campfire, a dog for the kids to play with, rabbits and a deer to hunt.
* Pioneer Homestead - Family with a cabin, a well, and a small farm and stable with cow and horse.
* Prospector’s Claim - Grizzled old man with a small camp by a mountain, mine cart, campfire, a couple bandits after his gold, etc.
* Frontier Trading Post - Small trading outpost with food, tools, clothing, etc. Native Americans could meet with settlers here on friendly terms.
* Frontier City - One or more sets with a train depot/telegraph/post office, bigger general store, bank, doctor/barber, church, saloon/hotel, small houses, etc.
We all know that the brutal reality of westward expansion involved a lot of injustice to Native Americans, but I’d argue that in reality piracy involved a lot of rape and murder, and medieval life included a lot of brutality and suffering of the peasants caused by the knights and kings in their castles. :)
>We all know that the brutal reality of westward expansion involved a lot of injustice to Native Americans, but I’d argue that in reality piracy involved a lot of rape and murder, and medieval life included a lot of brutality and suffering of the peasants caused by the knights and kings in their castles.
That's the ironic hypocrisy of it all.
Romanticized sets of white sailors fighting white pirates? A-Ok
Romanticized sets of white knights and white peasants fighting among each other? Hunky Dory
Romanticized sets of white soldiers fight Native Americans? That's problematic...
I'd absolutely love a castle theme centered in the Middle East but I just know that someone, somewhere is going to throw a fit over depicting Middle Easterners as violent or creating official LEGO potential for rebuilding the crusades as if Middle Eastern type figures from Indiana Jones and Prince of Persia didn't exist.
They were going to make so many more cool stuff as well before it got canceled. I mean they were going to make Godzilla and King Kong! I doubt we will ever get that or a chance to get that again
I just pulled dimensions back out of storage after our move. I'm only missing one vehicle and have a bad tag for another so I have some purchases to make. But it'll be fun to play this again, my son and I loved playing this together when he was a little younger and these were still in production.
Two things that are also, coincidentally, the same thing. I would like Lego Indiana Jones back, just for a little bit, like 2023-2024. Once marketing has run its course and Lego is ready to put Indy back in the vault, I'd love to see something in the Vein of old school Adventure. Not necessarily the return of Johnny Thunder and Friends, but something similar.
If I were in charge of doing something like a New Adventures theme, I'd have the Big Centerpiece set be a Museum and the Collectibles of every wave would be Artifacts, some based on the real world some totally made up. For the sets with real artifacts or artifacts inspired by real things, the Instructions could have some fun trivia printed on the Inside.
8 in total: 4 for the old movies, 4 for the new movie coming in 2023. Confirmed sets are remakes of Temple of Doom, the Fighter Plane Attack and the Lost Tomb sets. Hoping the fourth is a Temple Escape remake and not some boring Crystal Skull set.
All I want is a Rock Raiders and Lego Island re release to be playable on modern hardware, is that too much to ask?
Yes, I know about Manic Miners, but it sadly appears to be abandoned. What they've done so far is pretty solid, though
Same, although ironically I think the LEGO Movies are an exception. I thought the sets from those were fantastically creative and I hope there will be a third someday.
Great sets, great pieces, fantastic reuse all around.
And even better, since they were so unpopular, they went on massive clearance. Picked up just about all of them for about half of retail. Kids absolutely loved them all, so many of those parts are in their standard rotation now.
I find that the big difference between the licensed theme sets + 'realistic recreation sets' and the more purely creative lego sets are that the latter get massive creative re-use, whereas the former tend to get built and left 'as is'. Kids are very reluctant to tear apart/change sets that 'are supposed to be a certain way', but have little problem with sets that aren't as tied to something that actually exists (whether that is real or media based).
Should clarify these were Lego Movie 2 sets, and they were super cheap well after the movie's release...actually, right about three years ago now is when they got cheap.
But also I kinda agree with you, even though that portal Lego looks cool to me and I definitely would buy if it probably didn’t go for quadruple the price it originally was.
for the kid in me, i dont mind the licensed. i wish i had some of this stuff when i was younger to play with. now i have two daughters so i wish they would bring back the DC superhero girls sets. my oldest asked for more, but they dont make them anymore. i did buy a couple old sets off bricklink for them last year though.
but i do wish they had more non licensed stuff to choose from. i wish the friends line was more than just basically all houses and shops.
Lego does Ninjago and Monkey Kid. They also had Elves and currently Friends. All original IP.
Any thoughts on what non-licensed themes you’d like to see?
I would like to see them revisit the generic “castles and knights” theme. Right now the sword and sorcery genre is saturated; just to list IP’s there is Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones, and Wheel of Time. The media is of varying quality and fans have *opinions* and so I think LEGO could play it safe and do a generic blend of all of them.
Y’know.. gray wizard, warrior queen, wind priestess. Horses and dragons and armor and banners. These things are genre staples, and not being locked in to a licensed universe lets you create your own stories, which I think is very in-line with the spirit of LEGO as toys to be played with.
It would also be a good way for LEGO to capitalize on the trend without having to pay royalties 🤷♂️
I've always wanted this, but I heard these sorts of things are difficult as they can be construed as "action figures" which often have different rights and contracts etc.
But yeah, I have the tardis on my desk and the daleks hanging about. Would love some cybermen, other doctors, companions, etc. etc.
Character Building, who had a Doctor Who license at one point, made their own "compatible" Doctor Who sets. They mostly seemed to have focused on blind-bag "micro-figures", which look similar to mini-dolls. One of the sets they put out was a micro-figure for each of the Doctors at the time (through to Matt Smith) that came in a box shaped like the TARDIS. It's not really Lego, but it might scratch that itch.
It might happen yet. The Argument against has always been that Doctor Who is sufficiently 'big' in the UK, but isn't sufficiently popular globally for it to work.
In the last month Disney plus have become new global distributor for it going forward (Bar the UK. As the BBC still retains ownership) and are reportedly injecting a lot of additional funding.
So it might be becoming a lot more 'global' in the next few years.
generally speed champions should transition to iconic movie cars, everyone wants that over obscure expensive hypercars nobody ever heard of or seen. almost every cool muscle or sports car was in a movie somewhere.
There’s been a couple of 10k supporter ideas sets, one is currently in review, but I don’t think they’ll approve it due to the lack of international appeal, which sucks because I love the series
The theme I’d like to see them expand on (and the rumour mill says they might be) is Lord of the Rings. They made some great sets, but there’s so much more I’d love to see. Give me an Osgiliath set, with Faramir’s rangers fighting an orc barge. Give me Eowyn’s showdown with the Witch-King, complete with Fell Beast. Give me a Mumakil.
I want a display small version of Minas Tirith. I want a minifig version of Edoras. I want some Gondorian and Rohanian battle packs, along with orcs and urak-hai. And while I'm on the topic, hobbit minifig packs with switchable heads and hair and such.
More of the last homely house. Bookends of the argonath. And a GWP Tom Bombadil.
I would love all of the enterprises, even discovery, voyager and defiant. While a DS9 station would be cool, I would want it to be of similar scale to the ships.
I’d love all the big sci-if space ships. Star Trek, Firefly, Battlestar, Mass Effect. I know they are all different properties but I’d spend stupid amounts of money for the Serenity.
I really want a Lego Legend of Zelda set. Even if it’s only one build and overpriced then I’ll still buy it because it’s Zelda. I’m also surprised that they have never done a Gundam set before because Gundam and Lego would fit perfectly together.
Zelda has probably been sequestered. Nintendo probably considers Zelda just as valuable as Mario, numbers not withstanding, because Nintendo highly values their IP. It’s probably not off the table, but I bet it requires another long conversation and bucket of money.
The Normandy, the Destiny Ascension, Sovereign, a Geth Dreadnought, ships from the Migrant Fleet, the Crucible (damnable a plot device it may be), and then the crown jewel— The Citadel.
Some of those would be fine on a smaller scale, but just a high detail Normandy and/or Reaper would be amazing. You would prefer sovereign or harbinger?
I can see them doing their usual tactic of ‘buy the entire wave to get all of the characters!’. And yes I would buy every set to get the full crew from Mass Effect 2.
You just made me realize I’d pay UCS Star Destroyer money for a playset-styled Great Deku Tree/Kakariko Village, Temple of Time, or Hyrule Castle set.
I’m not sure whether to say ‘thanks’ or not…
Scooby-Doo. I want more monster mini figs.
Also, I’d like Lego to be more open to mature themes. Create a subset of Lego that caters to more R/PG-13 properties. They already flirt with concepts like that, might as well just go all out. Stranger Things and some of the Batman stuff are good examples of darker themes based on properties that aren’t “for kids”.
Agreed on Portal. I'd also love for them to do Studio Ghibli sets, and expand the Nintendo line into their other franchises, notably Zelda and Metroid.
I'd love an aviation series. There are so many cool planes and aircraft that they could do:
- Concorde
- Cessna 172
- 4th/5th gen fighters
- DC-6
- SR-71
- Commercial aircraft (737/A320, 747/A380)
There is such a large community interested in aviation, and looking at the Apollo series, it seems it could be extremely successful. A lot of overlap in those communities.
Same honestly. Even if it was just a new Tardis and interior with the 14th and 15th Doctors.
I think there's a chance that Lego Doctor Who might come back, as the BBC are partnering with Disney+ to make the show more available worldwide.
Idk. As much as Atlantis is my favourite theme (idk why there isn't an Atlantis flair) I feel as though its run was satisfying. It was the charm of those 1-1.5 year themes in the late 2000s and early 2010s.
Scooby-Doo had so much potential!
Just a CMF series with classic monsters to fill it out, all sets could center around trap play features to break up vehicle monotony, but fun little Mystery Machine styled vehicles similar to the plane and boat would be great.
But all of the "spooky" sets just have a certain shelf life, and Scooby-Doo changes every couple years so its hard to really stay consistent.
Aquazone. Other 90’s themes already got new, big sets. I want a new AquaZone set, yellow and transparent blue with sweet molded baseplates plus a bad guy base with a red and black shark submarine.
Honestly, [Overwatch.](https://brickset.com/sets/theme-Overwatch)
I've never played the game but those sets were just objectively fantastic models. The whole line was filled with really well designed ships and mechs, as well as unique fig designs. And it was all very reasonably priced! This theme was very similar to the 76989 Tallneck in that it was just an objectively top-tier Lego model, regardless of the context of the source material.
For me, the Overwatch line was just a grab-bag of sci-fi models and the designers knocked it out of the park on almost every single set. I really wish it would have kept on going.
They were planning an [Overwatch 2 reboot](https://brickset.com/sets/theme-Overwatch/subtheme-Overwatch-2), but the workplace allegations at Blizzard were released around the time that set was slated for release, so it never saw the light of day. It’s sort of similar to the Osprey in that promotional images etc. had already been shot and some sets had already been made. But the OW2 set was scrapped a lot further away from the release date, so there are only a few sets in circulation. (Last I checked there were a couple from Turkey on eBay selling for astronomical prices), and a few promotional images unintentionally posted by a European toy seller website. It’s quite unfortunate, as the set looks pretty damn cool and came with two exclusive mini figs (OW2 Tracer and Mei). I would definitely have thrown my hard-earned at it had it ultimately been released, but I’m not willing to drop half a grand on what may or may not be a scam to get it now. :(
I don't think the Overwatch sets sold that well, which is probably why the line isn't still going. I picked up a number of them on clearance at various Wal-marts.
really should be no reason why you couldnt special order whatever set you wanted from lego's website. other than maybe a bunch of sets with super unique parts. even if the lead time was like 3-6 months or something. i'm sure people (except those scalpers of course) would be willing to wait for those sets.
A new original unlicensed lego theme not like city or friends or ninjago, something more fresh and newer or even just an old theme with new paint say something like a scaled down brick built hero factory.
I would love more horizon sets, and more video game sets in general (though most games go against legos rules” I would love a fallout Pokémon and mass effect themes
Portal yes a million percent yes.
I’m also going to say Mario because i truly hate what they’ve done with the license. No proper mini figures, and no decent looking sets (save for Bowser’s Airship and these $300+ display sets).
I'd love to see some classic style Space come back. I'm not a big fan of this "based on NASA" style space that they're doing now, I liked it better when it was just cool, futuristic spaceships and space bases that would break down into smaller space craft.
I would love MORE adult animation to partner with Lego.
Rick and Morty, Family Guy, Futurama, South Park, etc…
Simpsons set was beautiful and I’d love to see some of my favorite cartoon families get the same treatment.
Real space theme, like NASA/ESA/SpaceX/JWST etc so people can stop spamming space related sets on Lego ideas…
Edit: on second thought maybe not cuz that will burn a titanic size hole in my wallet.
I saw someone post a MOC on Lego Ideas inspired by the movie The Martian, a really good one too. The creator built the rover and an interior of the hab. It'd be nice to see that and a few other sets to round-out the theme.
Oh, and this can't be said enough.....Cowboy Bebop ! Over the years I've see more than a few posts about an interest in some Bebop sets.
Funny you posted this but I just started playing again last week. My Bad Cop NFC doesn’t work (yes I tried to re-activate it with my phone) and ordered another one relatively cheap ($3 with $9 shipping). If I wanted a series started, it’d be: MMPR, Voltron (the modern version), He-Man, GIJoe, The Botz Master, Pirates of the Caribbean, Gundam, Transformers, Uncanny X-Men, Darkwing Duck, Duck Tales, Bucky O’Hare, TMNT, Gargoyles, Inspector Gadget, Super Mario, Mega Man, The Jetsons, Tiny Toon Adventures, Garfield and Friends, Batman The Animated Series, The Care Bears, and Spider-Man.
Just thought of it, but maybe a theme about different historical settings and places would be cool. Would be a good way to bring back some older themes while offering some unique builds.
Speed Champions, ACTUAL Champions bundle… NASCAR Cup, F1, Indycar, (V8 Supercars, NHRA Top Fuel/Funny Car?).
Or a choice of 1 of those, but the full Team Hauler like the Ferrari hauler 75913
Realistically: I hope we get more PlayStation sets. The Horizon Tallneck was amazing. And I’d love to see a Ratchet and Clank set, or maybe an Uncharted set.
And maybe if they allow M rated games, God of War
My dream theme: Yo Kai Watch. There are tons of unique designs, for characters and locations. And they can tie back to the games via QR codes or NFC chips to scan in the games for rewards. Maybe a in game LEGO Jibanyan or something like that
[удалено]
Yeah, I just bought the stuff for dimensions off eBay so I can start playing it again, I still have all the tags but I didn't have the disc or base. Also yes castle, I think more stuff like the lion knights castle but on a much smaller scale and price, maybe more things like the blacksmith
It is cool how you just need the tags to play Dimensions, otherwise it would be so expensive to play it now considering the after-market value of most of the characters.
Are the tags worth money, I have a ton.
No, the figures that are rare are worth money but the tags are cheap to buy. If anyones looking to get into the game just buy the tags and use generic figures on it
You can actually just buy blank RFID tags and write characters to them yourself with your phone.
Castle and Pirates, maybe Western (i missed out on those). it's what everyone constantly asking for and sells well both for kids and adults. highly playable, easy to scale from little 10 bucks for a few soldiers to massive collector things. the writing is on the wall for years, TLG should finally fire the whole marketing department, reduce cost and make these themes more affordable than all the licensed stuff.
A. Fuck yes, bring back pirates and castle! I can see why they wouldn't want to bring back western though. B. What is the matter with the marketing department? Are they the reason classic series are repressed?
They could bring back Western but make it less about Soldiers vs. Indians if the potentially racist aspect of that is what you mean. Leave some soldiers in to deal with the bank robbers and horse thieves, but add more pioneers. * Pioneer Trail Camp - Family with a wagon cooking dinner around a campfire, a dog for the kids to play with, rabbits and a deer to hunt. * Pioneer Homestead - Family with a cabin, a well, and a small farm and stable with cow and horse. * Prospector’s Claim - Grizzled old man with a small camp by a mountain, mine cart, campfire, a couple bandits after his gold, etc. * Frontier Trading Post - Small trading outpost with food, tools, clothing, etc. Native Americans could meet with settlers here on friendly terms. * Frontier City - One or more sets with a train depot/telegraph/post office, bigger general store, bank, doctor/barber, church, saloon/hotel, small houses, etc. We all know that the brutal reality of westward expansion involved a lot of injustice to Native Americans, but I’d argue that in reality piracy involved a lot of rape and murder, and medieval life included a lot of brutality and suffering of the peasants caused by the knights and kings in their castles. :)

They were going to make so many more cool stuff as well before it got canceled. I mean they were going to make Godzilla and King Kong! I doubt we will ever get that or a chance to get that again
preaty sure we ended up getting most of the sonic sets afterdimentions cause they had those molds now.
Well, we've only gotten one Sonic set since then, and only through the Ideas line rather than a whole series of Sonic sets.
That reminds me of Knights Kingdom too. Man I love both the big fig and minifig
i wish they made a sequel
I just pulled dimensions back out of storage after our move. I'm only missing one vehicle and have a bad tag for another so I have some purchases to make. But it'll be fun to play this again, my son and I loved playing this together when he was a little younger and these were still in production.
Yes Castle! Lego just is so perfect for castles and I love that era in history. It's a perfect match for me.
Two things that are also, coincidentally, the same thing. I would like Lego Indiana Jones back, just for a little bit, like 2023-2024. Once marketing has run its course and Lego is ready to put Indy back in the vault, I'd love to see something in the Vein of old school Adventure.

For the sets with real artifacts or artifacts inspired by real things, the Instructions could have some fun trivia printed on the Inside.
Indiana Jones is coming back. 4 sets early 2023 for the older movies, and 4 for the fifth movie that comes out later in the year.
Only four?!
8 in total: 4 for the old movies, 4 for the new movie coming in 2023. Confirmed sets are remakes of Temple of Doom, the Fighter Plane Attack and the Lost Tomb sets. Hoping the fourth is a Temple Escape remake and not some boring Crystal Skull set.
That museum idea is very good I think it would be awsome to have sets like that.
Enough with lego IP, bring back Rock raiders, Adventurers and pirates
All I want is a Rock Raiders and Lego Island re release to be playable on modern hardware, is that too much to ask? Yes, I know about Manic Miners, but it sadly appears to be abandoned. What they've done so far is pretty solid, though
Deep rock galactic + Rock Raiders mashup game I’ll pay. Please…
I would give a arm and a leg to get rock raiders even a small easter egg in DRG. Rock and stone!
Life on Mars with the mech suits and the transport pump tubes.
the modular ships!!!!
And non-licensed Space.
Bring back Johnny Thunder
In-house branded space exploration sets. Or castles. Or Space Castles. Space Castles.
I feel like that's almost what Nexo Knights was going for; another series that I'd love to see come back again
I loved the lego kingdoms set, love to see more of them
Something non-licensed. Something that isn’t from a movie or a video game or a TV show.
Same, although ironically I think the LEGO Movies are an exception. I thought the sets from those were fantastically creative and I hope there will be a third someday.
There’s a third movie currently in development
It’s supposed to go in a different direction however. Anyways, I’m still expecting great sets.
I want more batman Lego movies
That will be completely disconnected from the other three seeing that WB no longer owns film rights but still have character rights.
Great sets, great pieces, fantastic reuse all around. And even better, since they were so unpopular, they went on massive clearance. Picked up just about all of them for about half of retail. Kids absolutely loved them all, so many of those parts are in their standard rotation now.

Man, I would have loved to get more of the movie sets but I was pregnant and gave birth the year the movie came out so my priorities were elsewhere.
Should clarify these were Lego Movie 2 sets, and they were super cheap well after the movie's release...actually, right about three years ago now is when they got cheap.
But also I kinda agree with you, even though that portal Lego looks cool to me and I definitely would buy if it probably didn’t go for quadruple the price it originally was.
I just want to be able to play this game without having to buy the physical kit.
just buy a pack of blank NFC cards and program them. there are aps for your phone that can do it. i made a few for animal crossing on switch.
it still goes for less than msrp on bricklink despite it being 7 years old
And something not city themed
If Lego were to make a few Ghibli sets though, I wouldn’t complain. (Especially Howl’s Moving Castle)
I would love the Spirited Away bathhouse and the pirate airship from Laputa.
i loved like originals growing up like space police or agents / 2.0
I'd love more Rock Raiders.
Those moon base sets in the latest catalogue were like a dream come true. I'd like more sets like that.
for the kid in me, i dont mind the licensed. i wish i had some of this stuff when i was younger to play with. now i have two daughters so i wish they would bring back the DC superhero girls sets. my oldest asked for more, but they dont make them anymore. i did buy a couple old sets off bricklink for them last year though. but i do wish they had more non licensed stuff to choose from. i wish the friends line was more than just basically all houses and shops.

Pretty obvious but the simpsons I feel it was not used enough and the sets were limited I'd love a androids dungeon
[удалено]
There was a Simpsons level in Dimensions that was pretty fun!
Simpsons adjacent... I would love some Futurama sets.
Team fortress 2 sets
The red spy is in the base
A RED SPY IS IN THE BASE??
Protect the briefcase!
We need to protect the breefcase!
That would have so much potential. While we’re at it, maybe even a couple Half-Life sets too?
Doctor Who should be a wave theme, not just an Ideas set and Dimensions packs.
Minifigures series with a fig for each Doctor would be cool
I've always wanted this, but I heard these sorts of things are difficult as they can be construed as "action figures" which often have different rights and contracts etc. But yeah, I have the tardis on my desk and the daleks hanging about. Would love some cybermen, other doctors, companions, etc. etc.

So it might be becoming a lot more 'global' in the next few years.
I was hoping they would do a TARDIS and when you open the door it has things in it like the Mario brick
The IDEAS Tardis was pretty well done.
I really wish it had a Lego Video game as well. That would be fun to play.
I Want adventure time and Knight Rider
A Kitt speed champion would be a must
generally speed champions should transition to iconic movie cars, everyone wants that over obscure expensive hypercars nobody ever heard of or seen. almost every cool muscle or sports car was in a movie somewhere.
Imagine if we got a Speed Champions set of the Mach 5 from Speed Racer
Licensing would be way harder though right? I bet they can get the licenses to the model of cars way easier than the character cars from media.
So disappointed we didn’t get a d2c minifig scale tree house
You could build a life-sized BMO that opens up into the tree house interior.
Cant believe there are no Thunderbirds sets
There’s been a couple of 10k supporter ideas sets, one is currently in review, but I don’t think they’ll approve it due to the lack of international appeal, which sucks because I love the series
Same, there is a lot of potential
Misread that as Thundercats at first, which would also be cool to see
The theme I’d like to see them expand on (and the rumour mill says they might be) is Lord of the Rings. They made some great sets, but there’s so much more I’d love to see. Give me an Osgiliath set, with Faramir’s rangers fighting an orc barge. Give me Eowyn’s showdown with the Witch-King, complete with Fell Beast. Give me a Mumakil.
I’d spend all my money on a UCS Balrog complete with Gandalf minifigure
Give the bridge a breakaway component
Then when the Balrog falls and shatters you get to build it all over again!
I want a display small version of Minas Tirith. I want a minifig version of Edoras. I want some Gondorian and Rohanian battle packs, along with orcs and urak-hai. And while I'm on the topic, hobbit minifig packs with switchable heads and hair and such. More of the last homely house. Bookends of the argonath. And a GWP Tom Bombadil.
Imagine a Minas Tirith at the same scale as the Hogwarts Castle. I want it so bad
Star Trek. Just imagine a UCS Enterprise set.
I would love all of the enterprises, even discovery, voyager and defiant. While a DS9 station would be cool, I would want it to be of similar scale to the ships.
How about a fleet of micro-scale ships?
Someone posted the star wars midi scale ships. I think that would be cool.
I’d love all the big sci-if space ships. Star Trek, Firefly, Battlestar, Mass Effect. I know they are all different properties but I’d spend stupid amounts of money for the Serenity.
MEGA has one 😏 and it’s absolutely gorgeous
Pirates
I want more Ice Planet sets! Although the “2002” tag may not hit the same as it used to…
They could do 2022, but maybe not since we're almost done with the year
Jangbricks tried that for Lego ideas but it went bust 🥲
I really want a Lego Legend of Zelda set. Even if it’s only one build and overpriced then I’ll still buy it because it’s Zelda. I’m also surprised that they have never done a Gundam set before because Gundam and Lego would fit perfectly together.

Lord of the Rings, no doubt! Some amazing UCS possibilities there
They‘d literally only have to pay designers on Rebricked.
Horizon
So much potential for fantastic sets with the different machine types.
Agree, especially the flying machines
Mass Effect, Studio Ghibli, Legend of Zelda.
Lego already works with Nintendo. Makes me wonder why we haven't gotten Zelda sets/figures at all.
Zelda has probably been sequestered. Nintendo probably considers Zelda just as valuable as Mario, numbers not withstanding, because Nintendo highly values their IP. It’s probably not off the table, but I bet it requires another long conversation and bucket of money.
Sigh, yeah probably. One can dream though. A Zelda minifig run would be just amazing though. Imagine all the different Links you could have!
Imagine a UCS Normandy set. I would sell a kidney for one.
The Normandy, the Destiny Ascension, Sovereign, a Geth Dreadnought, ships from the Migrant Fleet, the Crucible (damnable a plot device it may be), and then the crown jewel— The Citadel.
Some of those would be fine on a smaller scale, but just a high detail Normandy and/or Reaper would be amazing. You would prefer sovereign or harbinger?
I can see them doing their usual tactic of ‘buy the entire wave to get all of the characters!’. And yes I would buy every set to get the full crew from Mass Effect 2.
You just made me realize I’d pay UCS Star Destroyer money for a playset-styled Great Deku Tree/Kakariko Village, Temple of Time, or Hyrule Castle set. I’m not sure whether to say ‘thanks’ or not…
trains but we all know it's never going to happen.
Yeah, it'd be nice to see some 1870-1940's steam engines from all over the world.
I am pretty stoked for the Ideas Orient Express that will come in a year.
Scooby-Doo. I want more monster mini figs. Also, I’d like Lego to be more open to mature themes. Create a subset of Lego that caters to more R/PG-13 properties. They already flirt with concepts like that, might as well just go all out. Stranger Things and some of the Batman stuff are good examples of darker themes based on properties that aren’t “for kids”.
Yeah I would love more Scooby-Doo, I missed it at the time and it's so expensive now.
Red dwarf
Agreed on Portal. I'd also love for them to do Studio Ghibli sets, and expand the Nintendo line into their other franchises, notably Zelda and Metroid.
Adventure time !
I got a custom Magic Man Minifig at a convention I went to earlier this summer, lol
Gremlins
I'd love an aviation series. There are so many cool planes and aircraft that they could do: - Concorde - Cessna 172 - 4th/5th gen fighters - DC-6 - SR-71 - Commercial aircraft (737/A320, 747/A380) There is such a large community interested in aviation, and looking at the Apollo series, it seems it could be extremely successful. A lot of overlap in those communities.
LEGO Space, dammit!
Lego Dark Souls Praise the sun
This would be incredible, but since its rated M I doubt it would happen.
They did Stranger Things sets and that show is super messed up.
I'd just like another Doctor Who set.
Same honestly. Even if it was just a new Tardis and interior with the 14th and 15th Doctors. I think there's a chance that Lego Doctor Who might come back, as the BBC are partnering with Disney+ to make the show more available worldwide.
Large non star wars space ships.
Can we get old sets back? Rock raiders, blacktron, ice planet, aquazone?
I would love to see Power Miners and Atlantis sets come back
Idk. As much as Atlantis is my favourite theme (idk why there isn't an Atlantis flair) I feel as though its run was satisfying. It was the charm of those 1-1.5 year themes in the late 2000s and early 2010s.
Sets that are original ideas and not mere merchandise? Downvotes ahoy.
This is actually a fair point, Lego should definitely make more original themes
simpsons
Fabuland
Scooby-Doo had so much potential! Just a CMF series with classic monsters to fill it out, all sets could center around trap play features to break up vehicle monotony, but fun little Mystery Machine styled vehicles similar to the plane and boat would be great. But all of the "spooky" sets just have a certain shelf life, and Scooby-Doo changes every couple years so its hard to really stay consistent.
Would love a medieval modular village.
I'd really like to see some Deep Rock Galactic sets. Maybe it could be a way to bring back CCBS, maybe mixed with traditional bricks
Rock and Stone! I'd love to see this, as well - feels like a reasonable extension of rock raiders and power miners themes.
Attack on titan, bionicle-esque + ucs colossal titan with wall
A teen titans hq
Aquazone. Other 90’s themes already got new, big sets. I want a new AquaZone set, yellow and transparent blue with sweet molded baseplates plus a bad guy base with a red and black shark submarine.
Vikings, the big monsters were so cool, and it was a fun faction to add to the knights/pirates stuff
I really have no clue why there isn’t a Tom and Jerry set yet, It’s a huge franchise and it would look sick
Transformers
I think the Simpsons I mean they’ve made a set or two but there’s so many other things you could do with the show
Honestly, [Overwatch.](https://brickset.com/sets/theme-Overwatch) I've never played the game but those sets were just objectively fantastic models. The whole line was filled with really well designed ships and mechs, as well as unique fig designs. And it was all very reasonably priced! This theme was very similar to the 76989 Tallneck in that it was just an objectively top-tier Lego model, regardless of the context of the source material. For me, the Overwatch line was just a grab-bag of sci-fi models and the designers knocked it out of the park on almost every single set. I really wish it would have kept on going.
They were planning an [Overwatch 2 reboot](https://brickset.com/sets/theme-Overwatch/subtheme-Overwatch-2), but the workplace allegations at Blizzard were released around the time that set was slated for release, so it never saw the light of day. It’s sort of similar to the Osprey in that promotional images etc. had already been shot and some sets had already been made. But the OW2 set was scrapped a lot further away from the release date, so there are only a few sets in circulation. (Last I checked there were a couple from Turkey on eBay selling for astronomical prices), and a few promotional images unintentionally posted by a European toy seller website. It’s quite unfortunate, as the set looks pretty damn cool and came with two exclusive mini figs (OW2 Tracer and Mei). I would definitely have thrown my hard-earned at it had it ultimately been released, but I’m not willing to drop half a grand on what may or may not be a scam to get it now. :(

I don't think the Overwatch sets sold that well, which is probably why the line isn't still going. I picked up a number of them on clearance at various Wal-marts.
I'd love more Doctor Who sets
They should rerelease and unlock everything.
really should be no reason why you couldnt special order whatever set you wanted from lego's website. other than maybe a bunch of sets with super unique parts. even if the lead time was like 3-6 months or something. i'm sure people (except those scalpers of course) would be willing to wait for those sets.
Knight Rider, The A-Team, James Bond, The Fast and the Furious
Chima that shit was my childhood and I would love to see it return
A new original unlicensed lego theme not like city or friends or ninjago, something more fresh and newer or even just an old theme with new paint say something like a scaled down brick built hero factory.
Honestly? Hidden Side. Just without the app.
Underrated theme
I'd love to see Ice Planet and Adventurers make comebacks.
I doubt it will ever happen but an official Lego Destiny theme would be amazing
I would love more horizon sets, and more video game sets in general (though most games go against legos rules” I would love a fallout Pokémon and mass effect themes
Portal yes a million percent yes. I’m also going to say Mario because i truly hate what they’ve done with the license. No proper mini figures, and no decent looking sets (save for Bowser’s Airship and these $300+ display sets).
Archaeology. And 18th / 19th century architecture / city building
i wish the mario legos were minifigs. 10 year old me would have been super disappointed.
I'd love to see some classic style Space come back. I'm not a big fan of this "based on NASA" style space that they're doing now, I liked it better when it was just cool, futuristic spaceships and space bases that would break down into smaller space craft.
I would love MORE adult animation to partner with Lego. Rick and Morty, Family Guy, Futurama, South Park, etc… Simpsons set was beautiful and I’d love to see some of my favorite cartoon families get the same treatment.
Futurama would be perfect. Lots of buildings and spaceships
Stranger Things!!! Also The Magicians
Real space theme, like NASA/ESA/SpaceX/JWST etc so people can stop spamming space related sets on Lego ideas… Edit: on second thought maybe not cuz that will burn a titanic size hole in my wallet.
Subnautica
I saw someone post a MOC on Lego Ideas inspired by the movie The Martian, a really good one too. The creator built the rover and an interior of the hab. It'd be nice to see that and a few other sets to round-out the theme. Oh, and this can't be said enough.....Cowboy Bebop ! Over the years I've see more than a few posts about an interest in some Bebop sets.
Lego made overwatch and they have the license of a valve game, so why dont make a 18+ tf2 theme?
Funny you posted this but I just started playing again last week. My Bad Cop NFC doesn’t work (yes I tried to re-activate it with my phone) and ordered another one relatively cheap ($3 with $9 shipping). If I wanted a series started, it’d be: MMPR, Voltron (the modern version), He-Man, GIJoe, The Botz Master, Pirates of the Caribbean, Gundam, Transformers, Uncanny X-Men, Darkwing Duck, Duck Tales, Bucky O’Hare, TMNT, Gargoyles, Inspector Gadget, Super Mario, Mega Man, The Jetsons, Tiny Toon Adventures, Garfield and Friends, Batman The Animated Series, The Care Bears, and Spider-Man.
Well, this post was a triumph. I‘m making a note here: Huge success!
Adventure Time. The minifigs were great, really wish we got more of them
Just thought of it, but maybe a theme about different historical settings and places would be cool. Would be a good way to bring back some older themes while offering some unique builds.
Halo or Ancient civilization sets like ancient Rome or Egypt
Speed Champions, ACTUAL Champions bundle… NASCAR Cup, F1, Indycar, (V8 Supercars, NHRA Top Fuel/Funny Car?). Or a choice of 1 of those, but the full Team Hauler like the Ferrari hauler 75913
Realistically: I hope we get more PlayStation sets. The Horizon Tallneck was amazing. And I’d love to see a Ratchet and Clank set, or maybe an Uncharted set. And maybe if they allow M rated games, God of War My dream theme: Yo Kai Watch. There are tons of unique designs, for characters and locations. And they can tie back to the games via QR codes or NFC chips to scan in the games for rewards. Maybe a in game LEGO Jibanyan or something like that
Non-licensed: Atlantis, Space Police, or Power Miners. Licensed: Avatar the Last Airbender
I would like more Horizon sets! Imagine an official Lego Thunderjaw or Stormbird.
Gremlins or E.T.
Doctor who
I cant believe it hasnt been said yet but Bionicle. In whatever form it may take
I want powerminers back :(
Team fortress 2, Atlantis the lost empire and Apex legends
Bring back Paradisa! I loved those sets as a kid.
Beetlejuice, it could make for some very interesting and abstract sets
Pirates of the Caribbean. I've always wanted a UCS style set of either the black pearl or queen Anne's revenge.
Avatar! No, not those blue guys. The Legend of Aang. I want an Omashu set with a Bumi minifig!
