I picked three but I'm not kidding when I say Classic Space is the ONLY theme I had growing up. I had space sets and then your basic sets of blocks. Not mentioned but we kinda also got a revisit in the way of Benny and the Lego Movie sets. Which reminds me I totally missed out on Benny's Spaceship which I was waiting for a clearance. lol Oh well.Oh I already know it's going to win. So no big deal, it's not like I hate Classic Space. I have almost all the modern City Space Port sets. What pisses me off is that there are already have been sets in a way, we got new Classic Space minifigures battle pack, the green minifigures with the Exo-Suit. I'd be upset if Pirates, or Town win too, or even Castle as we have the Idea set and a Creator set coming out with those themes. It's why I wish they would just make the top three or 5 into sets as they have to know there is a demand for Classic Space.
LEGO bought Brinklink and some rejected Idea sets are going to be Bricklink exclusive sets. Why not make the top 3 themes and then make the runner up sets there? Or even have some free with purchase sets. Like a small Ice Planet vehicle would be amazing.
Hopefully that makes sense as I haven't had my coffee yet.
You can also vote for up to three themes. Did you write in what type you? I want Aquazone as I grew up with that and I wrote in Aquanauts as the branch I wanted. I voted Aquazone, Ice Planet and Adventures.
I think it would be great if LEGO made 1-2 $50-$100 sets from the top winning themes a year, and then some of the ones that had support but not the top make
Exactly. Let's see where the demand is and make some sets based on them. It's why I was amazed there wasn't a wave of Pirate sets in 2019 for the 30th anniversary. Special boxes sell. Or hell, just make a collectable minifigure series that is just redoes of Classic themes? The series are not selling that well, which is why they got cut to 12 and the DC one has been 50% off.I picked three but I'm not kidding when I say Classic Space is the ONLY theme I had growing up.

That being said, I'd never heard of Ice Planet but that sounded cool, so that was one of my other votes.
I'm with you though. Forget doing one classic set to celebrate their anniversary. They should do one per month for a year. They don't have to be big sets. Have a wide range of them, with anniversary packaging. Kenner does it with Star Wars all the time. AFOLs will buy them all.
That sounds cool and I might be in for that, but they need to step away from their price hikes. I bailed when they went from $3 to $4. Saw the current wave in store the other day for $5 which is effing absurd. It's 3 tiny pieces of plastic with an accessory or two. So essentially $1 for legs, $1 for a torso, $1 for a head and $2 for those accessories and baseplate. They're high on themselves. If that were ever an option it would be interesting to see if they'd revisit pre-modern minifig figures. I still have a few of these floating around:Or hell, just make a collectable minifigure series that is just redoes of Classic themes?

Maybe I misread. I want them to bring back one of the actual Model Team sets, not a new entry into that theme.But aren't the Creator cars in a way Model Team?
It's a vote on a classic theme to be revisited as a 'single new product'. It's not LEGO rereeleasing a set.Maybe I misread. I want them to bring back one of the actual Model Team sets, not a new entry into that theme.
One of the big rigs would be cool, like 5580 or 5590It's a vote on a classic theme to be revisited as a 'signal new product'. It's not LEGO rereeleasing a set.
What set would you like LEGO to rerelease?
And the LEGOs are made out of plastic.TIL Joan of Arc is female
How many Ideas sets a year? Three? So this year sometime, probably between May and October.So any word on that Seinfeld set yet? Just saw a Community set on Ideas. I'm down for all these show builds. They're great.
Really want a Frasier set ... I know it’s a long shot, but if Friends and Big Bang Theory can get LEGO sets, then we deserve a more refined option!So any word on that Seinfeld set yet? Just saw a Community set on Ideas. I'm down for all these show builds. They're great.
So we can't have people who have different political views?Given Kelsey Grammer's political dealings, I doubt we'll see a Lego Frasier set.
Far right antics? So far right that ABC would never hire him. Oh wait.There's a big difference between a side character using racial slurs against hecklers 15 years ago, and a main character who actively peddles far right wing antics for the past 15 years.
And the police station was discussed already.
I see you're still mad about being proven wrong.Far right antics? So far right that ABC would never hire him. Oh wait.

Do you even listen to your own bullshit? How about far left antics of blaming a foreign country for losing to a game show clown?
I would until people say stupid shit about LEGO sets. It's even dumber than can't have a yellow female knight in a set.
LEGO standards are wild. I'm love a Moe's from the Simpsons too. LEGO does 18+ now and did a Stranger Things set, so I don't see why there couldn't be more adult things.Yeah I know a bar will never happen, but they could easily print "root beer" on all the mugs.
Great set. I bought two in the fall, one for $45 and the other $55 on ebay. It uses stickers really well and you can use your phone as a count down.there's a 60228 - Deep Space Rocket and Launch Control, 2019, rrp $99 - in AWD right now for 82 bucks
Bionicle stuck around for a long time though; I wouldn't call it failed, despite having no love for it myself. As I recall, it got hot right when Lego was having money issues right? Getting nontraditional fans interested, and dumping resources into world-building around the sets (I know they had comic books, and they were one of the first themes to have videos, right?) no doubt contributed to the rebound around 99/00 along with Star Wars.Ugh ... sorry man, controversial opinion, but Bionicle and all the other weird sets with oversized figures can stay dead. Every 5 to 10 years it seems like LEGO tries to get creative and does something weird to appeal to non-LEGO kids ... I feel like Bionicle is one of those failed experiments.
Bionicle and Star Wars kept LEGO alive in the early 2000s, otherwise it would have been sold to Hasbro (I think it was them). It made BUCKETS of money and is clearly still incredibly popular. Look up the history of it and was VERY popular, lasted 10 years and so popular it was rebooted (but that failed very quickly). However it's still the longest running LEGO theme, more than NinjaGo and I think even Classic Space. (I don't know exactly what's included in that.)I feel like Bionicle is one of those failed experiments.
If you can write in what "Classic Space' theme we want fill that in for the second round of voting.So much for that Ice Planet 2002 comeback...
In 2015, right around, maybe before Jurassic World came out, the big $120 set was $85, but the boxes were destroyed at the Walmart I used to live near and had the best clearances I've ever seen at Walmart, aisles of clearance 3-4 times a year.I’ve been on an admittedly odd Jurassic World kick lately, but it seems like the bigger sets never make it to any significant clearance or even discount.
530,000,000 DKK was less than 50,000,000 pounds.In the 2001 financial year the LEGO Company returned a pre-tax profit of DKK 530m – compared with a loss of DKK 1.07 billion the year before. Profit from primary operations was DKK 822m. This result was satisfactory. The 2001 result was an improvement of DKK 1.6bn on the previous year's substantial negative result.
It sold 100 million Pounds in 2001 when the company itself only made 50 million. It sales didn't peak until 2006. LEGO had to pay insane amounts of money for the Star Wars license, so the early 2000s Bionicle was keeping LEGO afloat.Bionicle premiered in North America in mid-2001, where it generated massive success and earned the Lego Group £100 million in its first year.
As Bionicle's popularity rose, it became one of Lego's most successful properties, accounting for nearly all of it financial turnover from the previous decade. It was named as the #1 Lego theme in 2003 and 2006 in terms of sales and popularity,[4] with other Lego themes at the time failing to match profits generated by Bionicle.
I had to resort to eBay to get the mystery castle 70437, the second wave barely scathed through.any hidden side fans? bus (70423) is currently $42.99 at walmart - RRP $59.99
I swear LEGO only made like 100 of that set. It's already going for $200 on eBay. I wanted it and the tree entrance of Hidden Side which I should have bought when it was $14. (Walmart and Best Buy thankfully have that one still.)I had to resort to eBay to get the mystery castle 70437, the second wave barely scathed through.
lol i love trains - probably train fans are dreaming of them bringing back the monorail - but i would really love to see classic space, classic castle, forestmen, adventurers, ice planet …4. Trains (Why?!)
I love Trains too... as I just bought one a couple months back. So it's pointless bring it back as it never left, and we should get new Trains next year with a new Power+ thing.lol i love trains - probably train fans are dreaming of them bringing back the monorail - but i would really love to see classic space, classic castle, forestmen, adventurers, ice planet …
