>>11671522>The first LEGO® SMART Play™ sets will be on shelf from 1st March 2026 in our seven launch markets: US, UK, France, Israel, Germany, Poland and Australia.>It wasn’t launched globally, as LEGO® SMART Play™ is a major transformative company-wide initiative that spans our entire value chain, from R&D to manufacturing and retail. Owing to the complexities of launching this innovative new platform we’ve phased launch to ensure the best customer experience we can.>While we can’t share more information right now on further market availability, our teams are working really hard to get LEGO® SMART Play ™ to fans and builders across the world. Please stay tuned and we’ll share more information as soon as we can.
>>11671522SMART BRICK HAS A BUILT IN MICROPHONE!!!!!>MIC DROP – Includes a deactivated, built-in microphone for potential future play features; activation will require both your permission and a firmware update.>The permission to use the microphone seems likely to be given via the SMART ASSIST app, also detailed in the description, but this has not been confirmed. Despite being advertised as screen-free, SMART Play will come with an app to ‘unlock more from the SMART Play system’, including troubleshooting, controlling sound levels and downloading updates. Here’s the exact text from the product descriptions:>LEGO SMART ASSIST APP – Help children unlock more from the SMART Play system with the SMART Assist App; get started, troubleshoot, control sound levels and download updates for enhanced play.https://www.brickfanatics.com/the-lego-smart-brick-has-a-built-in-microphone/
>>11671522Will we get a smart play death star?
>>11671522>minifig that i thought was lost magically showed up in the same bag that i frantically searched through 30 min before and only showed up again after i had another manic episodeAm i legit going insnane here?
>>11671536Yes
More like Shart Bricks
>>11671572Hahaha
>>11671536What minifigure?
>fucking Poland gets them before CanadaThis is bullshit
>>11671592It's not
>>11671591A Spider man minifigure
Are we getting a new original theme in the summer? Non-licensed
RIP Dreamzzz.
>>11671617F
Series 29 releases in June instead of MayStill no info on what the fall cmf is or when it releases, I guess October now. Did anyone find the animal cmf? It started to grow on me and I'm more interested than Spider-Man.
>>11671592European toy, Rajesh.
>444 piecesthey don't make 'em like they used to, bros...
>>11671617Do you we have confirmation yet that dreamzzz is kill yet?>>11671642>Series 29 releases in June instead of MayWhy? Thats so retarded
>>11671649Possibly because series 28 is easter themed and want it to still be in production when Easter is happening. Usually if the next series was released in May then previous series production would be over by then. So they gave this series 1 month advance. Atleast that's my theory.Also, series 29 seems to be a classic themes throwback as we get minifigs like Tahu and Lloyd.
Where are the pokemon sets?
Fuck that, where are the Ninjago smart sets?
>>11671592calm down chink
>>11671669>Where are the pokemon sets?do not wish for thisas long as Lego does not show their Pokemon sets, we can imagine they are amazing. minifigs, tiny molds. oh boy, it will be the coolest thing ever!! EVER!!expectations are high, but since we are almost certain to be disappointed, we are all better off not knowing for as long as possible
>>11671592saar give me my fart brick saar
>>11671707We already know they are fat like the leaked Pikachu
>>11671592You can take it, we don't want it.
>>11671524POLSKAAA GUROOOOM KURWAAAAKLOCKIIII
>>11671524Not available in Israel, but a nice, subtle ragebait. I approve.
Will lego fans admit mega construx did a better job with pokemon?
Lego wants fans to put smart bricks into their Ideas submissions:https://www.brickfanatics.com/lego-smart-play-allowed-lego-ideas-projects/Will you put smart bricks into your Ideas submission? It seems Lego want to make it sure smart play is for long term.
We are never getting a non licensed castle theme like fantasy era, are we?
>>11671748No but we're getting more grey Star Wars sets with BING BING WAHOO smart brick.
>>11671748Keep asking. Unironically. Castle is the best selling CMF figure of each series. The overpriced overdesigned sets sell well every time. Eventually new leadership will show up. A new trend with new kids will come. Lego frequently advertises Castles as part of their core (along with pirates). It will come back. Don’t expect it tomorrow but it will come back.
>final dreamz wave is outNice. I can’t wait to see the next original theme
>>11671748Something will have to fill the hole that Dreamzzz is leaving behind. I'm hoping for some kind of Space or Castle original theme, but who knows.
>>11671754There is none. It's over. We have no leaks of a new one.
>>11671774kpop demon hunters will take its place because kpop demon hunters is the most popular thing in the world its going to be a huge hit because it's such a smash hit irl it's gonna fly off the shelves pretty much going to dethrone both ninjago and friends simultaneously because it hits both demographics at the same time and will be better than both. kpop demon hunters.
>>11671780Damn, simp harder? I didn’t know they let you watch that shit in Iran.
>>11671791it's literally the biggest fucking show in the world right now and always will be
>>11671793Brown people don’t buy Lego. I don’t care what 23 year old Mexican girls think.
Expectations for the sets? Rumours say minidolls, I also expect a buildable Derpy like BB8.
>>11671798You're delusional. Literally every white person on the planet loves kpop demon hunters except incel nerds online.
>>11671801I get so tired of brown people telling me what white people are like.
Original themes are cooked chat?
>>11671823Ninjago will always wear the crown
>>11671827Based Ninjago, new monster villains remind me of 2012 snake villain diversity
>>11671799looks like the minifigs are done already, thanks, Fortnite!it's amazing how much design work is "done!" by Fortnite. there must be hundreds of characters Lego could just copy right out of the designs in that game.what an epic brilliant move by the Lego company. they "let" Fornite "do" Lego versions of characters and Fortnite might even have to PAY Lego money to do it (?) and now Lego gets all that amazing art work pre-done for them. wow.as far as KDH goes, I'm more curious how expensive the set will be. they need 3 KDH, 5 Saja Boys, the manager guy, molded cat thing and crow. that's a lot. you think they'd try and make it more consumer-friendly at around $100-$120, or MAX MILKING for like $400? I expect like a big stage area to simply display characters. obviously they will be in the "Golden" outfits
>13 shitbricks threads plus this one made 40 images before bumpAt this point somebody needs to apply to be staff for this desolate hellhole to clean up shit and shitters like this shillhell
>>11671848Lego invested $1 billion in Epic Games (Fortnite owners) so I guess it makes sense, also every design in Lego Fortnite is made in collaboration with a team of Lego designers.Also on KDH, we know they are more kid focused so $200 sets are out of question for now.
>>11671823fr blud it's over ong it ain't bussin
>>11671774You guys doom and gloom every three years when a new original theme is retired on schedule. >not nexo it’s over >not chima it’s over >not lego movie it’s over >not not Hidden Side it’s over>not Vidiyo it’s over>not Dreamzzz it’s overI’ll see you guys shilling the new original theme right on schedule in 2027 >>11671806Please delete this image.
>>11671876Fr fr lil bro, lego dun it big time. We are cooked chat, no more dope ass sets like dreamzzz
>>11671880A new original theme should release in the summer and there are no news for it. It's over anon. Stop coping
>>11671880no.
>>11671524>>11671531>>11671743
>>11671886>ESL fanficWhy don’t you go shit up websites that speak your native language instead?
Is this the cheapest way we ever had to get a "snake general"? Of course, they call it acid monster but it's still a snake body.
GUYS! WHAT IF KPOP DEMON HUNTERS SETS USE THE SMART BRICK???? OR THE MUSIC BRICK???? LIKE SOUNDWAVE HAS!!!
>>11671900Not ESL and DuckBricks said that we’re getting a new original LEGO theme in 2026. I heard there are a few in the works, and one is expected to release in late 2026. He mentioned it in his video titled “Are LEGO Original Themes Dying?”
>>11671531>it's not actually screen-freewhy am I even surprised
>>11671903This made me curious, will minidolls have smart bricks? Because I don't think they are gonna put chips inside minidoll bodies, so I guess girl themes for smart play will also use minifigs, aka smart minifigs instead of minidolls.
>>11671903>OR THE MUSIC BRICKyou will get bootleg lego music and you will like it
Best set in years and a great price too
>>11671799I expect a CMF if anything. What can they really do other than BTS set reskin? the movie has no notable locations
Why are people pretending some fucking Netflix cartoon is a cultural phenomenon? I've never even heard of the show and I work with kids
>>11671907>groombricksOpinion discarded
>>11671932only twitter gooners and terminally online people know about it
>>11671932It's a movie not show>>11671937I heard the song in a restaurant
i wish netflix and disney would go under, so the two biggest shilled pieces of shit would stop being spammed
>>11671950Netflix will own WB which has great deals with Lego. Imagine that.
Anyone has pics of the leaked Pikachu set? I wanna see it
Is this actually a good CMF? I hated it at first, but after seeing reviews, it grew on me a lot. I like the fish, frog, lion, koala, crocodile, monkey, and rabbit costumes.What do you think?
>>11671903>>11671799>>11671780>kpop demon hunters will take its place because kpop demon hunters is the most popular thing in the world itit's so bizzare to megenuinely asking - how old are you and what is your gender?Because to me it's some shitty cartoon about colorful girls like MLP so i naturally had no interest in it.but i see people in /lg/ shilling it. I assume everybody likes it because they want to fuck those girls because they look like anime girls?like what the fucki can't think about 1 reason why it's a thing that worth even thinking aboutlet alone writing stupid shit like you did
>>11671966I fucking hate that you can see their faces. Always did. So this is one of the worst CMFs for me.
>>11671970Great songs, great animation, great story, great writing, great voice acting all around..
>>11671973>great animation, great story, great writing, great voice acting all around..but enough about Ninjago
>>11671973>Great songs, great animation, great story, great writing, great voice acting all around.>see? this why MLP is the best tv-show ever!! :)>random brony from 2010syeah you just want to fuck the girlsfuck off
pretty sure ninjago has better music than some meme kpop showhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8xl6S99GPI4
>>11671958I want both to die, no good deals, You go with them.
>>11671970There are more organic mlp fans here than there are kpoop fans, never trust a korean poster. Kslop is snoy slop as well.
post normies messing up their lego buildshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMPmQeYibc0
>>11671970Coming from someone who didn't really like it, I think it's competent but it just wasn't for me. Not a fan of kpop so I don't like the music, didn't really like the characters, definitely don't find them fuckable. I don't really understand why it got as big as it did but it doesn't offend me like MLP (or at least its fans) did.
>>11672015>I don't really understand why it got as big as it didIt's not big, no matter what viral marketing campaigns try to tell you
>>11671972its easy to fix
>>11671966if this is what it takes to remove the furry costumes from the next few minifigure series, I have some hope for the future ones.
>>11672080I thought the non-animal costumes were okay. they've done plenty of food ones. they remind me of the Timberlake SNL skits where he'd be dressed as a mascot selling something, sing a pop song with funny lyrics about the thing he's selling, ending each one with something like"bring it on down to Popcornville!"So um, I guess my point was that even though they might not have animals, they might still do costumes. maybe another dinosaur?
>>11672080I didn't even consider this honestly, might be a blessing in disguise
>>11672080>>11672094I always thought a funny idea in that short lived "Lego City Adventures" would have been if the costumes actually ended up representing competing political parties. Food Party vs Animal Party. The food candidates always talk about hard work while the animal candidates just talked about how cool their chosen animal is. Maybe there can be other parties as well? Like edible animals become their own party. Just saying I that I don't want food and animal to represent actual political parties, just generic stuff to parody politics.
Ugh, Dreamzzz builds SUCK. This wolf's head keeps falling off because it's not held on by anything but a few cylindrical plates.
>>11672165>filtered by Dreamzzzkino
>>11671522I don't think that Smart Play or the Smart Brick is a smart idea. At the announcement they showed a video referencing the stud & tube invention from 1958, and market this as the next big thing for LEGO, but it really isn't.Think about it. What happens when the batteries in these Smart Brick fail? And they will fail evetually. These Smart Bricks will become e-waste since you can't just open them yourself. Compared to the Super Mario LCD figure which uses non rechargable battaries, the Smart Brick will be produced in a waaay larger quantity. They won't last 20 years. Hell not even 10. Meanwhile you still can play with LEGO bricks bought 50 years ago.Whoever came up with this is a massive retard and doesn't understand LEGO. It goes against the values Godtfred Kirk Christiansen came up with when developing the original system.
>>11672207yeah I'm sure you know better than the Lego Corporation
>>11672214>>11672207The only thing Lego values now is the almighty dollar.
>>11671644Nowadays everything has to be autistically detailed which bloats up the part count. If that set was released today, people wouild call it a 4+ Set like the new X-Wing.
>>11672207It reminds me of a movie I saw ages ago called "In Good Company." A tech billionaire buys up some medium sized sports magazine and starts making all kinds of changes. I just remember near the end he starts talking about how the magazine will now be doing articles on tech development and feature celebrity interviews. I know it's not exactly the same, it feels the same. A company shifting gears drastically as if someone is suddenly in charge of something that they have no idea what it is.
>>11671644VGH
>>11672231They've just taken a lot of big parts that they used to have like the bigass baseplates for space/castle, big ship hull parts, and things like BURPs and LURPs, and they just turn those into hundreds of 1x1s, 1x2s, and cheese slopes, so now you can turn those single big pieces into hundreds of tiny pieces, so it is more perceived value.Take a look at old space bases and pirate ships that were in the $80-$100 range and they were like 300-400 pieces, and those similar sets these days are like 1000 pieces because they broke the huge specialized pieces down into smaller ones. It does make a more involved building experience, but they try to pass it off as being way more value because you're getting more parts, but only some people seem to know better.
>>11672275It's not just that. Why use one brick when you could use eight tiles for no reason?
I've had my eye on that DeLorean set for literal years but never been willing to pull the trigger cause it's almost $200 and I refuse to spend triple digits on a toy just out of principal, so it was a nice surprise when I was at the store today and saw they made a smaller scale one.
>>11672275SOVL
I would buy a dreamzzz set just for the cute One minifig but my god the set she comes in is hard to look at
The slug thinks it's a bad business decision for LEGO® to first introduce LEGO® SMART Play™ in the LEGO Star Wars™ theme because AFOL Star Wars™ fans are pickyAs if the target audience of LEGO® SMART Play™ isn't children, and LEGO® Star Wars™ isn't one of their biggest IPs for the target audience
>>11671924Are the pins on the left side of the display part of a 1x2 brick, or are they technic pins in a 1x2 brick with holes so they can be taken out?
>>11672364I saw her in the display at a The Lego Store, she's not as good looking in person, the hair piece is transparent, like super-clear. I was disappointed.I would use her head piece to make a cool MOC character from though, I already got a coral skirt from the BAM bins
Oh shit biog just died because nobody made a thread there, fuck
>>11672374I just bought the Dreamzzz for chameleon just for the minifigs to make a custom minifig with them. I'm probably not even going go buy this thing but the minifig I wanted was 20 dollars in my currency and country in Bricklink and the set was 30% off. I always feel a bit guilty when I only buy sets for minifigs or parts.
>>11672394*probably not going to build
>>11672369>The slug thinks*dismissive masturbatory gesture*
>>11672394those Roman-ish helmets would be cool for space troops, and that cat-ears hat is neat, too.and it comes with the LOL green fart cloud and some violation tentacles. and teal flying saucer pieces? 4 of 'em!overall, looks like a pretty good set
>>11672394Those spartan looking dudes are pretty neat. I still need to get this one before it retires. Also, those blue-ish quarter disk parts might be pretty cool to create some sort of small UFO.
>>11672388Can SOMEBODY make a bionicle thread, there is nowhere else online to discuss bionicle that doesn’t suck
These sets suck
>>11672214Corporations aren't immune to making stupid decisions, Lego already almost went bankrupt once
>>11672440Why did they almost go bankrupt anyway?
>>11672441they were just throwing literally anything at the wall back in the 90s. They were making dumb shit like galidor and znap
>>11672442Galidor released in 2002Galidor is the best proof that Lego will jjst throw something they spent lots of money to develop under the bus if it flops.So smart bricks aren't safe.
has this happened to you?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uiX8OznQmuE
>goes to local mom and pop toys storeWell it appears thet got the new 2026 stock only last week and most new sets are already sold out. Was hoping to get the John Deere technic Set. But I guess this will do for the moment With that said, should I get the old red tractor set as a compliment to this one?
>>11672443>galidorHoly shit, what if we get a Nick minifig in series 29 since it's bases on old lego themes???
>>11672444>bionicle slopGood riddance
Fun fact: Nexo Knights took seven years to make (2009–2016), Dreamzzz took five years (2018–2023), and Super Mario took four years (2016–2020). Meanwhile, Ninjago only took about a year to develop—from late 2009 (around November) until its launch in January 2011. Bionicle started development in late 1999 or early 2000 and released in 2001. Take that as you will.
>>11672444>ebegging in description>>11672449Go away employee
>>11672438What did they do to the evil old guy? He looked much cooler in the Pegasus Flying Horse set. One of my favorite minifigs, even.
I just can't fucking do it anymore..I reassembled this shit from scratch and made crucial mistake AGAIN then I took apart and reassembled but crab steering doesn't fucking work I'm gonna trash this shit, my fucking brain can't do thousand of steps without mistake
>>11672468I wonder what it is about Ninjago that made it such a hit. Do kids actually like the lore, or is it just that the theme and sets are "cool", like ninjas, monsters, mechs, etc.
>>11672494The show resonated with kidsThat's the secret. The other lego shows are awful. Minus Monkie Kid but that one wasn't seen by kids outside Asia. B-but it released on streaming! Yeah and kids don't watch shows on streaming and neither on youtube. Cable TV truly was the place to make hits for both toy lines and shows for kids.Tldr; the show was good and kids liked it so they wanted the sets
>>11672492Use the digital instructions on a tablet instead of the book.
>>11672420Thank you to whoever made the thread, now if it were only a bit more active
>>11672311I can't even count the number of times that a set does this shit instead of just giving you 1 brick.
>>11672468It really shows in how overdesigned Nexo Knights and Dreamzzz sets are and that's coming from a new nexofag
2 new themes coming, speculation on what they could be?
>>11672540They will suck, like your instagram and reddit reposting spam. Go away
>>11672540LOLL IP is Kpop Demon Hunters, it will be like 4 setsThe other one is Netflix Avatar The Last Airbender around 5 setsWe also get Netflix Narnia in fall and TMNT and Spongebob under Icons.
>>11672547New licensed themes for 2026:>Kpop Emon Hunter>Netflix Avatar>Netflix Narnia movieIcons new licenses for 2026 which will be like 1 set per license:>TMNT>Spongebob>Project Hail Mary>Scooby Doo>Anime IP (unknown for now)Ideas new licenses for 2026:>Godzilla>Snoopy>Tin Tin>Power Rangers>X Files>E.T.
>>11672549>>11672547Stop reddit reposting, nobody likes this formatting or licenseshit.
>>11672550I do.
Why are marvel sets better priced than star wars sets??? Both are disney
Did you ever buy a set only for the minifigs and never built it, but use parts for other things?
>>11672581yes
>>11672582What set
>>11672583I lied
>>11672584Why lie
So, how long until LEGO reveals it? I’ll admit, the X-wing looks better now than it did in the leak.
>>11672591Never, pokemon was never real, there is no /vp/ board
>>11672591When will people realize LEGO are hacks?Just look at this Pikachu from Mega. And yes, he’s all prints.
>>11672492Crab steering succeeded.. i somehow managed it..
Biggest things going against the smart brick is>the size of the fucking thing>all current sets with it are adult priced>all current set with it are geared more towards children then adultsIs it gonna sale, sure.But is it gonna sale to the targeted audience in the amount they want it to, doubtful.In the current financial shitstorm just how many parents are happy to plop $70 - $160 on a novelty lego set and the kids are gonna lose the smart brick(s) within a few weeksAnother more personal nitpick is how they're butchering any minifigs that's compatible with it.Darth Vader looks like he's been tagged with crop circles and making the astromech body now able to 360 spin the head but now have a big ass square tile on its back is one step forward one step back
>>11672596That brown part on the tail looks similar to light brown (aka bionicle light brown)
>>11672599ANON WHY DO WE NEED TO REPEAT THIS, LEGO SAID AT CES THAT THESE SETS ARE FOR THE 6-9 YEAR OLD TARGET DEMPGRAPHIC NOT ADULTS. THEY JUST WANT THE KIDS WITH RICH PARENTS AUDIENCE. FACT!!!I'm tired of saying the truth
>>11672540>LolIP
>>11672549>licensed>licensed>licensedMAKE IT STOP
>>11672599>Is it gonna sale, sure.yeah, it's going to sale but not to sell...
>>11672606Never, you didn't buy dreamzzz so now you are stuck with this
>>11672591Why does it use a flat slope piece on the bottom of pikachu's tummy instead of a rounded slope to match the sides?
>>11672621Because that's where the smart brick is, so it can make lights and sounds.
>>11672606You have Ninjago
>>11672606Lego tried nexo, chima, dreamzzz and you said no
>>11672631Nice bait. Neither Ninjago, Chima, Nexo or Dreamzzz were meant to last 3+ years, but LEGO is desperately trying to turn every theme into the next Ninjago which doesn't work.
>>11672228More lego simps when?
>>11672634Chima had year 4 plans, the villains were going to be vampiresNexo Knights also ended prematurely and the show year 3 season got cancelled.
>>11672581Yes look up I just posted one earlier lol
>>11672492I'm adding you to my foot fetish folder
Series 29 releases in June
>>11672597I think Technic building is one of skill. Idiots are saying following instructions is easy. No, it's not. Assembling thousands of steps without mistakes requires insane amount of practice and concentration. For me, it was impossible to prevent inserting parts in the wrong orientation or inserting the wrong part. No matter how many sets I assembled, I reassembled the rear parts and connected them to the main frame. it was insanely frustrating
>>11672661Lego instructions are incredibly clear for all aspects except color matching…. Just have to look at the schematics and periodically confirm that they match what you’re assembling. They really are easy to follow if you have some fundamental skills. Lack of concentration, care, or ability to visualize from the user are not arguments against the instructions. Those skills might not be inherent, but modern Lego instructions go out of their way to show which parts apply in a step and go out of their way to show how things get oriented.I am not sure how they could make instructions that counteract a lack of concentration. It is like saying a you couldn’t follow the story from a good book because you couldn’t concentrate - again, the problem is not the book but the user.
god technicfags are fucking insufferable, worse than bionicle nerds
Nexo knights was the definition of too much too soon and coming out at the wrong time. That being said I've come to appreciate its sets for being almost entirely play focused
>>11672676>entirely play focusedDreamzzz was the same way and was a pretty kino theme. I'm probably more excited for the next original theme than anything else on the horizon. Should be something cool.
>>11672680New Nexo fig???
>>11672643Did you know anon? Water is wet.>>11672676The issue with everything that came after Ninjago is that they wanted to copy it so bad. I wish LEGO would go back to smaller playthemes that maybe last a wave or two without the need of a tv show.
>>11672635Ummm...When monkeys fly out of my butt.
>>11672702They can't sell, everything needs tie in media nowadays for kids
>>11672726Honestly I blame parents relying on iPad as a babysitter. Can't have children enjoy anything nowadays unless it says skibidi or a little Chungus standing in the corner, even those fnaf movies prove how bad media retention is for them youngins.
>>11672549Very disappointed that Spongebob is going to be coming back in the form of Icons. I imagine it's going to get a single $300 set of either the Chum Bucket and Krusty Krab with a patty wagon or Spongebob's neighborhood and it's going to be standard AFOLslop with tons of excessive detail, no play features, and no unique minifigures like Mrs. Puff from the original theme. We will probably get some unique molds but that's it. I hate Icons so much it's unreal.
>>11672668This isn't genuine Lego thoughbeit, I imagine that chinkshit instructions are much more difficult to follow and frankly probably contain a significant number of print errors
I do like the design of the new swords they put out in Dreamzzz
>>11672726>everything needs tie in media nowadays for kidsLego trying to shortcut that by leaning into the Netflix shows.
>>11672736What's the point of gigantic swords for minifigs?
>>11672736>>11672753Final Fantasy 7 ruined swords. if Cloud was the only character ever to have "le super-big sword" it would have been fine, but lots of things copied that
>>11671714All they had to do was make a cheap pokeball series with a pokemon in it, that was fucking it.

Apparently those who get smart brick sets are like beta testers. So when will they release worldwide? June?
>>11672764Why is poland the beta test for everythingDidn't they specifically get all the late-stage bionicle stuff as well?
>>11672766Because it's best country on Earf rn

>>11672635Mad Magazine we meet again. The year was 1968. We were on recon in a steaming Mekong delta. An overheated private removed his flak jacket, revealing a T-shirt with an iron-on sporting the Mad slogan "up with miniskirts." Well, we all had a good laugh, even though I didn't quite understand it. But our momentary lapse of concentration allowed Charlie to get the drop on us. I spent the next three years in a P.O.W. camp, forced to subsist on a thin stew made of fish, vegetables prawns, coconut milk and four kinds of rice. I came close to madness trying to find it here in the States, but they just can't get the spices right!
>>11672438>literally coolest thing ever
>>11672802Lol
>>11672500the same way power rangers or ninja turtles was big in the 90s>hero’s journey>martial arts capeshit>pick your favorite color>ninjasIt’s not complicated.
>>11672807Both of those aren't as popular now as they were then
>>11672809Yes. Lego was kind of smart about it.>wow young boys have always liked these things>even when one generation outgrows it, we just reboot it>making a new theme is more expensive than maintaining an old theme>increase the budget>keep it up on Netflix>keep it airing on tv>keep making wide range of sets I say this as someone who doesn’t care about Ninjago. Little boys like ninjas.
Ninjago took off because it was good, simple as. I'm an old fogey and objectively speaking I'd say Ninjago is on par with the kinds of shows I liked as a kid like Reboot or Beast Wars. The Nexo Knights and Dreamzzz cartoons, not so much.
>>11672807whoa. you just blew my mind. they ARE all the same!I wonder how nobody has copied Star Wars with another laser swords and magic in space? could you get away with that? Masters of the Universe is kinda close to Star Wars, and that was pretty successful
>>11672826reminds me that I bought this nigga's ultimate set for like 8 bucks and still haven't opened it yet
>>11672826Yes sarcasm very cool. There’s an element of luck and timing obviously. And it helps that both ninja turtles and power rangers fell out of popularity so there was a gap.>you just gotta make a thing that is already being made by someone else No you have to fill a gap. Waiting until power rangers and ninja turtles are irrelevant to children is a big reason it succeeded. Star Wars already exists there is no gap in the market.
>>11672837LEGO didn’t really wait for Power Rangers and TMNT to stop being popular. When I said they aren’t popular now, I meant now. Back when Ninjago released in 2011, TMNT had returned to a short-lived Turtle mania with the CGI show, roughly from 2012 to 2016. Meanwhile, Power Rangers also experienced a resurgence around that time with Samurai and Dino Charge. By the time the movie came out, the momentum was already gone.Ninjago’s advantage was that kids wanted it to continue, so it ended up outliving those two IPs.I wouldn’t say Ninjago is anywhere close to those series at their peak anyway. It really depends on when the live-action movie comes out and whether that sparks more interest in Ninjago.
>>11672840>live action Ninjago for what purpose
>>11672851
>>11672837>Yes sarcasm very coolI actually wasn't being sarcastic. it sounds silly but I never associated the colors thing with Turtles and Power Rangers, and Ninjago also did the colors thing. and they all do martial arts. at a glance they seem very different but then you remember PW intro literally says "assemble a team of teenagers with attitude" and all those IPs totally do have teenagers with attitude!>>11672837>Star Wars already exists there is no gap in the market.ahhh. good point.Disney really messed-up Star Wars good, I think the market is ripe for somebody to sweep in with a great story and take over
We are getting 2 very expensive Legends sets again
>>11672840>lego didn’t waitNot intentionally so. They were lucky with their timing. But they did. Both resurgences of TMNT and PR were minor stirs compared to their peaks.>kids wanted it to continueYes. It also had the Netflix advantage. When Ninjago was on the rise, it was right there with Netflix on the rise. You could probably watch the others on Netflix at that time but again. Luck. Have the right product at the right time with the right resources and the right executive in charge. The product has to be good in the eyes of children but it also has to be lucky.
>>11672857I don’t know what this is.
>>11672862>Disney really messed-up Star Wars good, I think the market is ripe for somebody to sweep in with a great story and take overI was working on a Battlestar Galactica trilogy for Universal, based on the original ’78 series. By “working,” I mean I was doing conceptual artwork, I did my job on the project. I don’t know the current status of it, but it looked cool: Cylons and some great alien races. They had a bible for the films in which there were a total of eight distinct alien species in the universe fighting the Cylons, and the humans were leading these aliens to form an alliance. Very cool stuff and different. I’m sure LEGO would make sets based on it if it ever gets the greenlight.
>>11672862Fair enough. Your post did seem like you were fucking with me but I’m also probably jaded by too many years on this site.
>>11672867Ugh, Ninjago wasn't on Netflix back then, it came on Netflix very late, like 2016-2017. Trust me, I watched the show since the pilot released and I was the target demo back then.
Build-A-Minifigure: Spring 2026 Wave image
>retires july 31st, 2026>I still didn't buy itIt's been so long since it release and I still didn't find it at a good price
>>11672862> Disney really messed-up Star Wars goodSome advice I like to throw out there in case anyone ever makes a highly successful IP like Star Wars or LOTR:Never sell your IP. Once you’re done with it, make it Public Domain. Megacorporations like Amazon and Disney only care about IPs if they own them so no one else can have them. Sure you’ll get fanfic but everyone will accept it as fanfic. And if you ever want to come back to it like Lucas has hinted he does. You can. There’s no conflict. People will respect your work as the creator and someone with good ideas in the future can make successful fanfic. Think of it like Lovecraft. Everyone knows the original works of Lovecraft are the original but anyone can make and market a movie/book/game about Cthulhu. Everyone wins and the megacorporation ignores it in favor of beating the dead corpse of Star Wars for the next 50 years until that is public domain.
>>11672875>Never sell your IP.easy to say until you see the check
>>11672872Didn’t realize it was that late. Was that around the time it was going to be cancelled? Do you think the surge of Netflix views saved it?
>>11672782Who is a good jang replacement tuber?
>>11672879True. But Lucas was already a Billionaire. He was retarded. if you really care about your IP like in the way Tolkien did? Don’t leave it to your Christopher Tolkien equivalent so he can sell to Amazon right before he dies and then spends his last days depressed. Make it public domain. If it’s already hyper successful and you’re already super rich there is no reason to whore out something you love too.
>>11672882No no no, Ninjago was always planned to end in 2013. News that it would end in 2013 had been known since 2012. That’s why, when the show ended, there was high fan demand and strong sales—kids even wrote letters to LEGO asking them not to cancel it. At the time, it aired on Cartoon Network, which was the home of Ninjago.This is also why the Ninjago Rebooted came so soon in 2014. LEGO changed their plans to end the series in 2013 by late 2012, so they started working on the next season. As was common back then and still is today, even though they say the story is stronger now—for Ninjago and many other themes, LEGO designs the sets first, and the media is created afterward. There are always differences between them, though, which makes it hard to say whether those claims are entirely true.TL;DR: Netflix had nothing to do with Ninjago continuing.
>>11672874that's strange don't sets normally retire at the end of the year? I thought this one had until 2027 anyway. Maybe it's not selling well.
>>11672898It was for December 2026 but they changed it to July
>>11672580Nobody cares about marvel.
>So, I was trying to jailbreak my Lego Smart Brick, when my wife said to me:>"Hey, are you not afraid you're gonna destroy it?">I said "What's the worst that could happen? You think I might brick it?"

>>11672874>and I still didn't find it at a good priceKeep waiting it'll go down anon. Most people don't even know what The legend of Zelda is, it's a very niche series.
>>11672919>There will be a $30 Ewok Attack Smart Play set in the fall.sure but it probably won't include a smart brick
>>11672919Yeah and you can get mario polybags for £3.50, what's your point?
>>11672924Well, only 3 sets include smart bricks that we know of, the x wing, vader tie and throne room. There is a echo base coming for $180 I think, that will also have smart bricks. The rest don't have smart bricks, only smart tags and figs. So yeah, only 4 sets have smart bricks, the rest don't include it.
>>11672919Are any of these even worth getting on vidiyo levels of discount?
Pics when?>72151 Eevee - $59.99 / €59.99 - 587 pcs - March 2026>72152 Pikachu and Pokéball - $199.99 / €199.99 - 2,050 pcs - March 2026>72153 Bulbasaur, Squirtle & Charmander - $649.99 - 6,838 pcs - March 2026
>>11672927You decide, here's the rest>>11672926Actually, echo base is $140, I misremembered it
>>11672929And there seems to be a R2 D2 buildable figure smart brick set
>>11672928>Eevee $60This is ok for a 18+ buildable figure set>Pikachu and Pokeball>$200WHY????? HOW??? THIS MAKES NO SENSE COMPARED TO EEVEE!!!!????>kanto trio = $650What

>>11672929>wait years for a new falcon because I hated both TFA, Solo and TROS>we get dark falcon instead, hate it>see it finally retiring, great, OT let's gooo>we get this instead for OT falconHahahahahahahahahahaha
>>11672934Yep, only 3 sets confirmed to have smart bricks and possibly Hoth Echo Base because of price tag of $140, the rest don't have the smart brick
>still seething about fart brick
>>11672935What's wrong with the TFA and TROS falcons?
>>11672935Disney shit (minifigures) aside TROS falcon is the best playscale one to date desu
>>11672940Sequel trilogy slop
>>11672944I couldn't bring myself to buy it, I hated TFA so much I refused to touch it.
>>11672946I whole-heartedly get it but build-wise it's pretty neat.
>>11672946Well I guess you missed out on the 2 best playscale falcons to ever come out then dummy.
>>11672951>yes, you should rather buy disney slop than have dignity
>>11672953I bought the bootleg version so jokes on you.
>>11672954>he got chinese slopEven worse
>>11672954Well done citizen.
>>11672909RFLOL
The concept of a dragon baby developing into a full-on set for the the 3 years dragons rising has been releasing sets is so neat and it's not talked about enough.
>>11672874From what I can tell it's an exlusive set which means you won't find it on discount. At least not outside of the LEGO store.
>>11672983the idea is nice and I'm glad they had time to execute it but Ninjago is and always has been so far out of my interest that I couldn't be bothered. I had some Vikings dragons but they were my least favourite part of those sets. I'm glad an original lego theme could sustain 15 or so years of sets but it hardly had any interesting things for me apart from some good-looking mechs that I would just keep on my shelf to gather dust. I hope something new and less flashy is coming after ninjago, it's always been a zoomer theme in my eyes..
>>11672995>after ninjagoNinjago will only end if lego goes bankrupt, at this point it ain't going anywhere, it's like Transformers is for Hasbro. Evergreen.
Dreamzzz scorpion digger is sold outSurprise surprise, if you make good sets people will buy them, actually a lot of this year dreamzzz sets are sold out but it depends on region.
>>11672997>Evergreen.I haven't seen any sales statistics but it's been the same things over and over again for a few years now from what I've gathered here, no? With the occasional display or 18+ set, it's set to surely wear off soon
>>11673004This anon >>11672997 is right. Ninjago won't go away anytime soon. It's still crazy popular. Look it up on Google Trends and compare it to Dreamzzz or Monkie Kid. The difference is huge.
>>11673004No. Ninjago is not ending, a new videogame is in the works, more fortnite, a live action movie, another show after dragon rising season 5, and another spin off shows. Designers already said they have planned the next 5 years of Ninjago and 5 Ninjago sets already are global hits this year, 2 being Legacy. It ain't going anywhere you sad lowlife loser. We also get a 18+ set every year for Ninjago and more 14+ sets with the normal 6-9+ sets
>>11673004Holy cope
>>11673015>Look it up on Google Trends and compare it to Dreamzzz or Monkie Kid. The difference is huge.lmao no shit, it's like comparing Kanye to cripples, it doesn't mean shit, those themes are either chink bait or baby bait>>11673018okay zoomer, calm down, your tendies are on their way
>>11672869with AI in the forefront of public attention, it's a prime opportunity to reboot Battlestar Galactica. it's so obvious!as long as it's more whiz-bang action rather than grimdark dread (like the other BG re-boot was) hopefully Lego would go for it, ironically using the electronic Smart Bricks hehe
>>11673021I honestly don't care, I just haven't seen anything new or exciting from ninjago for 8 years man, only kids with ninjago backpacks on the street
>bro I just want a theme that last 1 wave or 3 wave at max like it used toThings changed, Lego don't work like that anymore, why waste resources to make a theme that lasts 3 waves instead of 3 years? Making new stories from scratch is expensive. And Ninjago is not to blame if those themes flop.
>>11672874Sux to be you.Gannon leaks when?
huhinteresting, the lego speed-champions set that I got for Christmas came with a piece in the wrong color.There were suppose to be 2 identical pieces of this "28192" slope with cutout and without stud. I'm guessing both should be light-bluish-grey, but one is definetly not it. It's not dark-bluish-grey because its a lot lighter than that color.I think its sand-blue but I'm not sure, what do you think?
>>11673049they're both light bluish gray you moron
>>11673051wasn't aware this color difference is possible in manufacturing. No other of my hundreds of other light bluish gray pieces match the one on the right
>>11672884https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TgY5I9G7RmQ
>>11673054>No other of my hundreds of other light bluish gray pieces match the one on the rightIt's because Lego can't even match colors anymore. They've gone to shit. Its really obvious with lime green.
Thoughts on this set?
What are you building Anon?
>>11673121I am currently piecing out the parts for republic gunship, the 2003 version. But now sure if I’ll have all the correct parts
Sink Ninjago with nukes. Behead Ninjago. Roundhouse kick Ninjago into the concrete. Slam dunk Ninjago sets into the trashcan. Crucify filthy Ninjago fans. Defecate in a open Ninjago box. Launch Ninjago into the sun. Stir fry Ninjago in a wok. Toss Ninjago sets into active volcanoes. Urinate onto Ninjago minifigures. Judo throw Ninjago sets into a wood chipper. Twist Ninjago minifigures heads off. Report the Ninjago tv-show the IRS. Karate chop sealed Ninjago sets in half. Curb stomp Ninjago. Trap Ninjago defenders in quicksand. Crush Ninjago sets in the trash compactor. Liquefy Ninjago in a vat of acid. Eat Ninjago bricks. Dissect Ninjago minifigures. Exterminate Ninjago in the gas chamber. Stomp Ninjago sets with steel toed boots. Cremate Ninjago sets in the oven. Lobotomize Ninjago minifigures. Mandatory abortions for Ninjago fans. Grind Ninjago fetuses in the garbage disposal. Drown Ninjago in fried chicken grease. Vaporize Ninjago tv-shows with a ray gun. Kick old Ninjago sets down the stairs. Feed Ninjago sets to alligators. Slice Ninjago minifigures with a katana.
>>11673183Kek.This is what they took from you.
>>11672874>>11672990Its not exclusive, i got mine on sale for about £200 last summer when there was a limited time deal on amazon
>>11673121I haven't touched legos in months
>>11673183based
>>11673090yeah but the photo doesn't do it justice just how big the difference is in real life.The darker one is really closer to dark-bluish-grey just a tiny bit brighter still, closer to sand-blue, but totally colorless.
>>11672766Poles are the true master race, Hitler and Stalin were jealous of us
I can’t find Horse Knights Castle at any of the brick and mortar stores I make impulse Lego purchases (like Target and Walmart). Does that mean they have no confidence in the set?
>>11672010Kek, just remembered the anon who said his roommate broke their glass coffee table trying to put together a lego set with a rubber mallet.
>>11673240Kek. That’s still not as good as streetshark anon.
>>11673240What kind of ape needs a hammer to put legos together?
>>11672822Even in its earliest days Ninjago had an interesting mythos you could get into what does nexo knights have? muh monstrox muh merlok
>>11673263You see them using the little mallets on the Lego Masters TV show. it's mainly used for plate-on-plate flattening where you are stacking like 8x8 plates and need to make sure they are FLAT-flat all aroundI don't think any official Lego set is designed to need a mallet, (unless it's some $200+ set that I don't have access to)
>>11672809>>11672815That's probably where it being Lego also comes in to help. You get your cool ninjas and shit, and also have things to build, and rebuild, and change for them.Plus, Ninjago seems to have cannibalized ideas and sets from other Lego themes anyway.>Ninjago almost always has a huge pirate-esque ship on shelves.>Also always has a yearly large modular building-esque set for Ninjago AFOLs.>Dragons and castles and shit reminiscent of the old Castle theme.>Basically just became the old Ninja/Samurai theme from the late 90's, but on steroids.>Heavily inspired by anime; mechs, huge swords, always fighting demons, and monsters, and all that jazz
>>11673023What? Should he have played with a [spoiler]handicap?[/spoiler]
>>11672549The scooby doo set could be a Speed Champions Mystery Machine, based on how we've gotten 2 movie car sets in a row, not including the fast and furious sets.
>>11673274I know it's from 2015, but Lego already released the perfect Mystery Machine.if anything, it's going to be included in a massive $400 REBBOFANK* set (maybe with The Hex Girls band? lol)(*Ridiculously Expensive Black Box Obviously For Adults Not Kids)all kidding aside, a re-release would be cool. you think they'd dare release it with all 5 characters? that would also give me hope for a A-Team van with the whole crew on that, too
>>11673282so many movie cars belong in SC. Bluesmobile, K.I.T.T, A-teamIf we can get 20 of the same looking F1 cars we can get 20 movie cars
>>11673282If they did a bigass expensive Scooby Doo set, it'd probably be something like a haunted house with the van, the five Doo Crew, and maybe 3-5 of the iconic villains, and maybe some generic ghosts, skeletons, a grave digger, etc.If they did a Speed Champions, I can't see it being more than Shaggy and Scooby. Kind of why I see people pushing for a Ghostbusters Ecto-1 Speed Champions, but I think not only might the car just be a bit too big, but I don't know who they'd choose to go with it, because I doubt they'd choose all four GBs.
>>11672185I'm just rebuilding it into the main build which is a giant raven and it already feels a million times better.
>>11673263>What kind of ape needs a hammer to put legos together?millennials and zoomers with no grip strength.

>>11673324Yeah I don't think that's gonna catch on over AFOL or dust collector
>>11672764Ok but if they're just trying to market test this smart brick stuff then why do they have like a dozen sets already lined up for release?
>>11673105Seems cool for a $10 set. I'm considering buying it as my first ever Minecraft set.
>>11673267>it's mainly used for plate-on-plate flattening where you are stacking like 8x8 platesreading this makes me feel unwell

>wins golden globes for best song and animated film>probably will win oscar tooLego better make a shitload of sets
>>11673405Lego and Universal need to hire talent like KDH creators for their Lego movies, when the first Lego movie released, it felt like a fucking event.
Lego should make a new ancient egypt or adventurers type theme (inb4 they give it to Ninjago)
>>11673408We were going to get a snake pyramid set during the snake mummy wave but they canned it in favour of the ice emperor temple. Pic related is the prototype and you can see the prime empire castle prototype too.
hey what happened with that Lego group contest for fans to come up with a new theme? I remember something really lame won the contest. And it’s been a long time. Was that cancelled?
So why is that one dude still here and shilling aggressively ? It’s weird.
